Chapter 21 Hoarse Whispers on the Phone

Damn, the phone is connected.

Gu Jun frowned, hissing sounds raised, and hissing sounds were heard in his ears against his phone, as if the signal was not good. He paid attention to the alley, and did not make a sound first, but actually he didn't plan to make a sound. He just wanted to know if there were anyone in the Gurong Village...

There was still no one talking on the other end of the phone, and the low and hoarse voice became louder and louder.

Listening to this voice, the turmoil that Gu Jun often had recently rose from the bottom of his heart.

Who is it, who is it! Who is it on the other end of the phone...

He wanted to ask so loudly, but he tried his best to endure it, even his breathing was lowered to prevent his voice from being exposed.

It seems that once the sound is revealed, a disaster will come.

"..." Gu Jun did not take the initiative to hang up the phone. Although the pressure in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, he was still listening to the hoarse whisper. Is this a language? He only knew that it was not the language he muttered himself in the Longkan video...

No, no, it seems like the sound of the throat constantly rubbing and squeezing.

There was a creature on the other end of the phone and was trying to speak.

Gu Jun tried hard to hear clearly, but the surrounding environment was very noisy. Passing motorcycles passed by, neighbors were talking, and songs were played in the shops. The sounds were mixed together, covering the strange sound. He continued to listen to his cell phone while walking deep into the alley.

Sand, Sand...

The noise around was getting smaller and smaller, and the strange noise on the other end of the phone became louder and louder.

When Gu Jun walked to a secluded place near the garbage dump at the end of the alley, he could suddenly hear it, but he could clearly hear it...

"Save me..."

These two Chinese characters came out of the hoarse whispers on the other end of the phone, saving me.

It was the human voice, although it was so low and trembling, he recognized the human tone and emotions, or fear.

It seemed that my throat was open, and the other end of the phone said one after another: "I'm not... dead... I'm not... they... I don't... things in the banyan tree... let me go out, ah... I don't want to die... save, save me..."

The great pain in this sound made Gu Jun's heart very uncomfortable.

He could vaguely hear that the other party should be a villager from Gurong Village. He has not died yet, but he cannot evacuate because he has been infected and his body has deformed, so he is controlled within the village.

A few days ago, Gu Jun was still shrouded in the shadow of terminal illness. He knew that a person wanted to live well but was unable to fight death.

"Save me, please, save me..." The voice on the other end of the phone was still wailing.

Gu Jun held his cell phone and held his hand tighter slightly. What surprised him was that at this time, he remembered the scene when he and the whole class stood up together in class as usual for the Hippocratic oath at the beginning of the first class at the beginning of the freshman year.

At that time, he was so swearing that he didn't care, he just took a formality.

“As a medical worker, I formally swear to dedicate my life to humanity…”

“I will carry out my medical skills with purity and sacredness throughout my life.”

Gu Junran silently said that it was the destiny of a medical dog to cure diseases and save people. But now, he can do nothing.

He could not save the director of Gurong Village, the child climbing trees, or the person on the other end of the phone.

"In the Banyan Tree..." The strange sound from the phone became more and more painful, "Things... don't... don't..."

Suddenly, the phone broke off with a click, beeping...

Gu Jun looked down at the phone in his hand, took a deep breath, and whispered: "I'm sorry, if I can, I want to save you. I don't have that ability, I haven't..." He looked up at the evening sky and exhaled that breath, but part of his heart became stronger.

That's what he wants to do, be a real doctor, save people.

There are not so many high-end reasons... He felt that he just couldn't bear it.

After standing for a while, Gu Jun sorted out his messy mood and silently pulled out the new mobile phone card.

"What's in the banyan tree?" He began to think about the words of the dying villager just now, what's the point? Is the source of the disease the big banyan tree?

Twisted huge branches, rugged tendons, tangled fibrous roots... deformed limbs...

These pictures gradually overlapped in Gu Jun's mind, and an idea naturally emerged: the deformed limbs of the remains are very similar to the branches of the banyan tree.

How does a banyan tree become the cause of disease?

Gu Jun thought while turning his head and walking back.

It was a little dark, and a cool breeze blew, and Gu Jun suddenly felt strange. He looked around. This area was called "Jufu Lane". There were no high-rise buildings, some were old buildings, cramped streets, dilapidated shop signs, and gradually lost traditions.

He used to come here often because Jufu Lane has many authentic Dongzhou local food stalls, and Dong University students like to come here to find something.

Although it was very messy here, he was very familiar with every wire and every sign in this area.

However, now walking on the rotten cement road at the end of the alley, he felt a strange coldness gradually surrounding him.

It drips, drips, as if the sound of rain falling to the ground.

Although the sky was gray, it did not rain.

Damn... Gu Jun suddenly looked back and saw nothing in the cramped and dilapidated alley.

Only those old signs are swaying slightly, "Trendy Hair House, Professional Haircut", "Yonglong Hotel", "Copying and typing fax"

"It's the man who followed me..." Gu Jun was sure, the guy was following in the dark! He was thinking about what to do, his eyes retracted from behind, turned around, but he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him less than five steps away.

The man was wearing ordinary plain clothes, his face was a little haggard, his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and his eyes were covered with blood.

It was the man who had followed him for many days.

What should I do? Gu Jun asked himself to stay calm and just turn around and run away? Or did he walk over as if he didn't know anything?

But he noticed that the flat-headed man looked at him without any scruples, and the gloomy and weirdness in his eyes were not at all hidden.

Gu Jun immediately understood, "He knew, I found out that he was following me..." It was precisely because of this that the flat-headed man appeared like this.

In an instant, Gu Jun decided to take the initiative, pretending to be just an ordinary person and doing nothing else, and asked loudly as if he was frivolous and flirtatious: "Old Tie, who are you? I seem to have seen you several times a while ago, and I am always staring at me. Who are you? What are you looking at?"

"Mr. Gu." The flat-headed man smiled, like a puppet's mouth was pulled open, "Put the things, it's okay if you hand them over."
