The next day, Sha Ling went to Lerman Nursing Home early in the morning.I know that when he went to the hospital, one was to accompany Prince Apant, and the other was to find some clues in the hospital. At noon, I checked out of the hotel room. Seeing that I was leaving, the owner of the hotel showed a very regretful expression.Just as I stepped out of the hotel, thinking in my heart, I don’t know when I will return to this small town again, the owner of the hotel suddenly chased me out and shouted: "Sir, I have your phone number." I turned around, thinking that it was probably Sha Ling calling from the hospital to see if I was gone.But the hotel owner winked at me mysteriously: "A lady is calling."

For a moment, I couldn't think of anyone who would call me. I walked back to the hotel and answered the phone at the counter. The other party's voice was very urgent: "Mr. Wei, come quickly." I said "Oh": "Miss Haven? Where are you?" In fact, when I heard it was Haiwen's voice on the phone, I only said this sentence, but Haiwen had already repeated it at least seven or eight times in a hasty tone on the phone, "Come quickly!" I hurriedly asked, "Where are you?" Haiwen panted: "I'm calling in a small coffee shop, I'll wait for you to come, that small coffee shop is right by the lake——the road near the small lake where I dated Qiu Lun , come quickly, come quickly."

I vaguely remember that on the side of that road, there seems to be a very simple and small coffee shop, which is so simple that it cannot be noticed at all.I said, "I can find it, are you in any trouble?" Hai Wen said: "No, no, I... It's hard to explain clearly on the phone, so hurry up." I promised her, put down the phone, and said to the hotel owner: "Reserve my room, I'm not leaving." The owner of the hotel was very happy and rubbed his hands.Because Haiwen's voice on the phone was so urgent, I immediately walked out of the hotel, got into the car, and drove straight to the lake.

When I approached the lake, I turned onto the road, and after a while, I saw the small coffee shop. The little coffee shop was actually hard to make out, but I saw Haven standing in front of the shop from afar, and when she saw my car coming, she rushed towards it.I stopped the car beside her, and she opened the door and sat next to me, panting for breath. Her complexion was very pale, but her expression revealed a kind of extreme excitement.From the way she looked, it was certain that no misfortune had happened to her.Without waiting for her to sit still, I said, "What's the matter?"

Haiwen was still panting: "I can't say, the whole thing seems...it seems...you sailed to the lake." While driving the car, I said, "Speak slowly." After a full minute, Haiwen regained his composure and told her experience and the reason why she wanted to see me. Haven went to the lake again, and even she herself couldn't tell why, maybe she was still missing the time when she met Qiu Lun, or maybe she liked the scenery by the lake. For whatever reason, she was at the lake again.And, right where she and Cullen had sat, sitting alone.When she sat for a while, getting bored, she stood up and walked slowly forward, approaching a bush.

The bushes were very thick.In the bushes with dense bushes, Haiwen saw a man squatting with his head in his hands.According to Haven, the man was squatting like a rabbit. (Haven saw a man in the bushes, and I saw a man in the bushes, that man, according to Dr. Du Liang, had intermittent dementia, and I was once held by him on my hand , took a hard bite.) (I was a little nervous when Haven said she saw someone in the bushes.) Haiwen saw the man squatting motionless, so she stopped. At that time, she didn't feel scared, but was surprised, and didn't know what the man was doing there.

The man held his head in his hands, and Haiwen couldn't see his face clearly.She just wanted to wait for the man to look up so she could talk to the man. But after several minutes, the man was still motionless, so Haiwen made some noises. Because what happened next terrified her so much that she couldn't remember whether she stamped her feet or coughed.Anyway, she made a little sound. And when she made a sound, the man raised his head. As soon as the man raised his head, Hai Wen was stunned.Her gaze stayed on the man's face, and she opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't make any sound, only feeling extremely horrified.

And that person just looked at Hai Wen in a daze. (I asked anxiously: Haven, who is that person?) (Haven replied: God, God, that person is Chu Lun!) (That man is Qiu Lun, I was also stunned, that man is Qiu Lun, isn't Qiu Lun already dead?) That man is Cullen! When Hai Wen first saw that the man was Qiu Lun, the shock caused was incomparable. She stayed there for a long time before suddenly calling out: "Qiu Lun!" Qiu Lun was still squatting, still holding his head in his hands, just looking at Hai Wen with an expression of extreme bewilderment, close to dementia. Haiwen's breathing began to be short, and she called out, "Qiulun, what's wrong with you? You don't know me anymore?"

Chu Lun didn't respond at all. Hewen said that at that time, she had a feeling that she was not speaking to a living person, but to an extremely realistic portrait. However, in front of her was not only a living person, but also the Qiu Lun she was familiar with. Haiwen has never experienced such an experience in her life. She was not knowing what to do when she heard a voice approaching from far away. Hai Wen was no stranger to this kind of sound, it was the sound made by a light car while driving. At that moment, Hai Wen noticed that Qiu Lun was wearing a white cloth dress with a very ridiculous style.At that moment, she remembered what happened by the lake many years ago. Chu Lun thought he saw General Zillow, but a light car came, and two people jumped out of the car and took "General Zillow" He was taken away, and Qiu Lun chased after him, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

As soon as Hai Wen heard the sound of the light truck approaching, and thought of these things, her first reaction was: there must be someone in the light car, who might have come to arrest Qiu Lun. So, she immediately started to act. She stepped forward, reached out to grab Qiu Lun's hand, pulled Qiu Lun, and ran forward, quickly passed the bushes, and came to a large grass pile. When she got to the big haystack, she dug a hole out of the big haystack, and hid herself and Qiu Lun in it, and then pulled some grass to cover the two of them. At first, she was afraid that Qiu Lun would make a noise, People found out, so he pressed his mouth lightly.

But Chu Lun didn't make a sound at all, only some "huh" sounds came out from his throat intermittently. Not long after they hid, they heard the sound of a light vehicle, stopping and making, approaching.At the same time, when the car stopped, she heard three people talking. All Haven heard were incomplete fragments, some words, utterly meaningless (at least at the time).But because these conversations are of great help to reveal the truth of the matter in the future, I will describe them in detail later. What Hai Wen heard was the conversation of three people. (Three people! One is driving, and the other two are convenient for capturing the found people back?) Of course, Haven didn't know their names and identities for these three people. She hid well, covered by hay, so she couldn't see their faces clearly.So I had to use A, B, and C to represent them.Fortunately, the voices of these three people are very different, so it is easy to distinguish who is speaking. The conversation between the three people that Hai Wen heard is as follows: A: (Maybe a lot has been said, what Hai Wen heard is only the second half of the sentence)... This is really not a good sign. B: I really don't understand what's going on, they seem to be getting smarter. C: Impossible, impossible. A: Of course not, maybe it's just an instinct. B: This is always a bad sign, if we can't find it── A: No, there have been no mistakes in the past two times. C: (groaning), huh, and said there was nothing wrong, and there was almost a big mess. The reporter── A: (suddenly) Hey, there seems to be someone in front! (The sound of chaotic footsteps indicates that someone is running forward.) B: That's not a person, he's wrong. C: I really doubt, where does their intelligence come from? B: (loudly) They have no intelligence, no! C: Then why do they keep escaping? B: Just an instinct. (Footsteps are approaching again, probably A has returned.) A: I may have escaped far this time, so I will drive there to have a look. B: The guards are too careless. (Sound of light truck driving away) Hearing that the buggy drove away, Haiwen immediately pulled Qiu Lun again, left the haystack, and ran back. It was very smart for Hai Wen to do this, because the light car came from that direction, and if she walked in that direction, she would not meet the light car. Because during the conversation, she heard the words "escape", and Hewen knew that Chu Lun had escaped and would be captured.So she pulled Qiu Lun to escape the pursuit of the buggy. She and Qiu Lun ran about half a mile away from the lake and arrived in a forest. During the run, Chu Lun never made a sound.Haiwen saw a tent abandoned by the campers in the forest, half collapsed, she pointed to the tent, and said to Qiu Lun: "Go in, hide in." But Qiu Lun just stood still and didn't respond to Haiwen's words at all.Haiwen had no choice but to pull him again, to the front of the tent, and pressed Qiu Lun's head, making him slip into the tent. Haiwen didn't go in by herself, she just ordered: "Hide, don't move, don't come out if you don't hear my voice." Although she urged, Qiu Lun, who entered the tent, still didn't respond at all. Haiwen read quickly, and she thought of me first.I came here to investigate Chu Lun's death, and now Qiu Lun is still alive, although Haiwen thinks the situation is extremely weird, but he must let me know first. So she ran out of the woods again, onto the highway, and finally there was a phone in the little coffee shop, so she called me.And after talking to me on the phone, according to Haven, it took a wretched fifteen minutes before I saw your car coming. I was in total shock. "So, how long has it been since you hid Chullen in that tent?" Hai Wen said: "It's close to an hour." As I drove the car quickly, I couldn't help tapping the steering wheel: "It's almost an hour, those three people, driving a light car, are still looking for him everywhere, the possibility of Qiu Lun being discovered by them is too high big." Haiwen's face was already pale enough, but when I said it, it was even less blood-colored: "Did I...do something wrong?" My thoughts are very disordered, and I don't mean to blame Haiwen, because suddenly, when encountering such a weird and inexplicable thing, Haiwen's actions are already very good. Haven once said: "As soon as I saw the man look up, it was Chu Lun, for a moment, I thought I saw a ghost." Under such a panic situation, Hai Wen also hid Qiu Lun in a half-collapsed tent, who could blame her? There are thousands of questions in my mind that I need to think about, but at this moment, I don't think about any questions, I just drive the car as fast as possible, and I hope thousands of times in my heart that Qiu Lun will still hide in that tent after hearing what Hai Wen said. middle. As the car was approaching the lake, I drove off the road and headed straight for the forest that Hai Wen had mentioned. Along the way, the car shook like a boat in a raging sea, and I didn't care about it. It was not until the way ahead that the car could not pass that Hai Wen and I got out of the car and ran forward. I ran ahead and saw the tent that Haiwen mentioned. At the same time, I also saw a light car parked only 20 meters away from the tent. Two people were getting off the car and walking towards the tent. When I saw this situation, I knew that I couldn't get to the tent before them, so I ran and shouted, "Hey, come to camp too? Welcome to participate." I yelled, and then slowed down, pretending nothing had happened, and followed Hai Wen who was running over behind me. He was very smart, and like me, slowed down, so that the two of us seemed to be preparing to fight in the forest. A man and a woman in the middle of the camp are the same. And the two people who were walking towards the tent, and the one who was still in the buggy, looked back at me together when I called out to them. I waved to them and approached, complaining loudly: "Who It’s really wicked to bring down our tent.” While speaking, I had already arrived in front of the tent, I didn’t know if Chu Lun was still inside, I turned around, turned my back to the tent, and stopped the two people and the tent. Those two people looked at me with very puzzled expressions, and I deliberately looked at them: "Are you here for camping? What are you looking for?" One of the two said, "Did you see a person wearing a white cloth?" I shook my head and said, "No. Where did you come from? Did you come from the hospital?" Those two people didn't answer. At this moment, judging from their appearance, it seemed that they were going to bypass me and enter the half-tanned tent.But Haiwen entered the tent one step ahead of them. At the same time, she yelled in the tent, "Oops, all the food has been stolen. I really can't believe that people here would do such a thing." As Hai Wen spoke, he walked out with a look of resentment. Haiwen's look of dismay was of course for those three people to see, because when she turned her head, she gave me a wink. Haven's wink made me know that Chu Lun was still in the tent.As long as Qiu Lun is still there, even if those three people forcefully come, I will not be afraid of them, so I became more calm and said to Hai Wen: "Then we need to replenish food, our car broke down again──" Speaking of this, I said to those two people: "Can I borrow your car?" The two hurriedly said, "No, we have something urgent." They said, turned around and walked away. Haiwen and I looked at each other, watched them get into the car and drove away, and I said, "Is he in there?" Hai Wen said: "Yes, squatting like a rabbit." I turned around, raised a corner of the tent, and saw Chu Lun.He literally squats like a rabbit. I called, "Churen." As soon as I called out, Chu Lun raised his head, his expression was very bewildered.I am no stranger to this kind of expression. The person who bit me once had this kind of expression. It is clearly the expression of an idiot. Could it be that Qiu Lun also suffers from "intermittent dementia"? Haven was behind me: "What's wrong with him?" I took a breath: "I don't know, but look at his pale face, he seems to have been imprisoned for a long time without seeing the light of day." Hai Wen lost his voice: "If he was imprisoned as soon as he disappeared, it would be several years." I reached out to Chu Lun, but he was still squatting until my hand touched his, and then he held my hand. It was like Chu Lun was a baby, and he was still a newborn baby. The reaction of a newborn baby is like this. When you reach out to him, he doesn't respond at all, but when his hand touches something, he will naturally use his hand to touch it. hold on tight. Qiu Lun grabbed my hand, I pulled it hard, and Qiu Lun was pulled to stand up.He was still holding my hand, my hand was hanging down, and he was going to squat down again, it seemed that he couldn't control his body movements at all. I gently separated his fingers, let him still squat, and turned around: "I don't know what happened, but his condition is very strange." Hai Wen said: "Do you want to send him to the hospital?" I almost jumped up: "He just escaped from the hospital." Hai Wen hurriedly said, "I mean... another hospital." My thoughts were confused, and I thought for a while: "Don't let those three people find out, I think I will take him away after dark." Haven nodded in agreement. I prepared for those three people to go back, and I made some preparations with Haiwen, set up the half-collapsed tent, and lit a bonfire in the open space in front of the tent. Sure enough, an hour later, those three people and the buggy came again. All three of them looked very anxious, and one person came straight forward: "Surely you haven't seen a man in white clothes?" I pretended to be impatient: "If I saw it, why would I lie to you?" The man said humanely: "This man is a neuropathy patient. When he has an attack, it is very dangerous. If you find him, please notify the hospital immediately, and you will get a bonus." I said, "Since he is a dangerous person, why did you let him leave the hospital?" The man said angrily: "Accident! Any perfect thing will have an accident." As he spoke, he kicked a stone away angrily, turned around, got into the car and drove away.Seeing the anxious expressions of these three people, I can be sure that Qiu Lun escaped from the hospital. To them, it must be extremely serious. Then I have to be more careful not to be discovered by them and send Qiu Lun to a safe place. After the buggy drove away, we still stayed on, waiting for dark.While waiting, it got dark very slowly. Several times, when we heard some noises, we thought it was the buggy returning, but when it got dark, the three people did not appear again. After dark, we helped Qiu Lun out of his tent. Qiu Lun was like a wooden man. No matter what he said or did, he would not respond. But it can run very fast.I have observed him for several hours, and I can assure you that his body is in perfect health, but his intellect seems to have completely disappeared. Qiu Lun escaped from that hospital, there is no doubt about it, why did the hospital imprison Qiu Lun?Naturally there are oddities.I had always been sure that there was something weird about that hospital, but I couldn't find out the reason. Now that Qiu Lun is here, I can officially deal with that hospital. Therefore, when I took Chu Lun out of the woods and walked to the car, I was extremely careful and prepared for accidents at any time. That section of the road was about 20 minutes away. After dark, the surrounding area was surprisingly quiet, and we arrived at the car smoothly.When we were about to get in the car, Haven asked, "Where are we going to take him? I think he really needs a doctor." I said, "Take him back to the hotel first." Hai Wen didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about my proposal, so I said, "I have a friend who lives in the hotel, and he may have his opinion on what happened to Qiu Lun." Haiwen nodded, I opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat first, turned around and motioned for Haiwen to take Qiulun and sit in the back.Just when I half turned around, I froze.
