Chew Slowly Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Chapter 29

===========================

“Are you Xu Qiaochuan?”

“…” He opened his mouth but couldn’t answer.It’s not because I don’t know the answer, it’s because I suddenly forgot how to pronounce it.Forget that as long as you open your mouth naturally, place the tip of your tongue on the lower gums, vibrate your vocal cords, and raise your soft palate, you can make the simplest “ah” sound.

Xu Qiaochuan soon broke into a cold sweat. Doctors and policemen came in front of him, but they quickly disappeared.The doctor couldn’t help him speak out, and the police couldn’t ask him what happened.

He had been silent since he woke up, only responding with a nod and a wave of his hand.At first everyone thought this silence was his self-protection, after all, his experience was really tragic.Later, when he was in a better state, the police asked him to take notes, but Xu Qiaochuan didn’t answer no matter what he asked.

Xu Qiaochuan opened his mouth and touched his throat again. Later he realized that he was aphasic.

Chen Zongqian was answering the phone outside, with the door ajar. Xu Qiaochuan could be clearly seen from this angle.There are mixed feelings in my heart, why is it that the injury is on one person, but the pain is tormenting two people?Chen Zongqian just looked at people and didn’t listen carefully to the phone calls.

He just read the brain CT report. The doctor said that this may be a brain injury affecting the language center, resulting in language communication difficulties.

Probably because his gaze was too direct and unobstructed, Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t ignore it even if he wanted to.Chen Zongqian looked into a pair of wet eyes and saw himself in those eyes. He felt like his heart was being manipulated over and over again, and the feeling was indescribable.

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the person on the other end suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Zongqian: “Don’t you think it’s strange that Xu Jian repeatedly screamed about injustice in the police station?”

“What’s weird?”

“Weird, the surveillance camera captured Xu Qiaochuan looking over there, and Xu Jian followed suit… The day after Xu Jian committed the theft, Xu Qiaochuan went to see the surveillance camera downstairs, but nothing was found at that time.” The other party paused for a moment, and Chen Zongqian heard the pages turning.In his spare moment, he recalled whether there were any other abnormalities that night.

Xu Qiaochuan walked slowly that night, as if he was extremely reluctant to say goodbye.Chen Zongqian asked if he had ever encountered anything unreasonable. His lips trembled and he gave an ambiguous answer.

“It’s not the same surveillance. The surveillance downstairs was to watch the store and only captured the entrance. The surveillance upstairs covered a wider field of view, but he didn’t check this at first.”

Xu Jian knew from his reaction that his atrocities would be filmed, which shows that Xu Qiaochuan knew that this surveillance existed, so why didn’t he watch it in the first place?Do you know that if the thief doesn’t enter through the door, he can only climb through the balcony?

“Do you think he knows that the thief is Xu Jian?”

Before the iron sheet fell, the surveillance cameras could not capture the two people at the window. Xu Jian said he was determined that Xu Qiaochuan had knocked down the balcony.One-sided words are not trustworthy, but Xu Qiaochuan was not only unable to speak when he woke up, but also lost part of his memory due to the sequelae of concussion.

He only remembered that Xu Jian appeared in his room inexplicably, and then received a severe beating, and did not remember anything after that.Xu Qiaochuan had a splitting headache thinking about it and recalled the relevant matter.

“Xu Jian insisted that Xu Qiaochuan jumped by himself in order to push him to jail.”

“Impossible, who would risk their lives to do such a thing?” Chen Zongqian refuted coldly.

He was still smiling to himself when they parted, but the voice-activated light went on and off, turning into a flickering light in his eyes.What was Xu Qiaochuan thinking at that time?Do you really think there is an evil ghost waiting for him in the house?

Without an answer, Chen Zongqian regretted not being able to accompany him up there, only to get him injured again.

Xu Jian swore that he had been framed and that it was Xu Qiaochuan who let go and jumped. The surveillance camera also captured Xu Qiaochuan suddenly letting go before he fell.

“I will send you the disability appraisal report. The old injury to his wrist bone will make him weak, and there is no case of intentional letting go. If the charges of burglary, robbery, and intentional injury are not enough. I once took over his commission, but it was terminated for some reason…Xu Jian asked me for 100,000 for various reasons.”

“I called it.” Chen Zongqian’s tone was very calm, as if that number was a very small sum.

The other party was surprised that Chen Zongqian, who had always been rational, could do these things. He didn’t react and asked in a daze what it meant.

“It means I don’t want to see him get a chance to turn over.”

The time spent lying in the hospital became very fast. Xu Qiaochuan felt that he didn’t have much time to wake up, but he couldn’t sleep well.After almost two weeks of being so confused, he no longer suffered from frequent dizziness and headaches, and no longer felt nauseous or vomiting.

The broken ribs were treated conservatively. The nurse who came to see him every day thought this young man was very strange. One day he forgot to take analgesics and there was no response.He didn’t speak or make other expressions, as if he was very insensitive to pain.

There is a small garden downstairs in the inpatient department. The place is not big, but many people gather here in the evening.

Xu Qiaochuan didn’t like strangers, but the doctor didn’t let him lie flat on the bed all the time.Afraid of opening the wounds on his waist and abdomen, Xu Qiaochuan was forced into a wheelchair. At such a young age, he was treated like the old men and women wandering around the garden.

He has seen all the sights he can see, nothing is new, and he only comes out to deal with it.It was even more boring without Chen Zongqian. He wandered around aimlessly, waiting for enough time to return to the ward.

Youdao’s eyes kept chasing him. Xu Qiaochuan didn’t care who the person was and didn’t want to face him, so he turned his head and changed the direction.Just as he was about to leave, the man quickly caught up with him.

A woman with gray hair on her temples grabbed Xu Qiaochuan. He was very slow and couldn’t think at all, but the woman wanted to take him into her arms.Xu Qiaochuan finally thought of pushing the person away, but his hand suddenly stopped after hearing her voice.

“Why did you come back? Mingxiao, where did you go?” She looked at Xu Qiaochuan eagerly. Seeing no reaction, she shouted in confusion, “Mingxiao?”

The touch on the hand cannot be ignored, but the most uncomfortable thing is not just the contact of skin, nor is it just being stared at by such earnest eyes… Xu Qiaochuan felt that his throat was tight and his breathing became particularly difficult.The lungs were stretched, the heart was shaking, and the broken bones between the ribs were in severe pain from the human breath.

Lu Xiaoyun once ordered him not to say anything, not to mention anyone, not to do anything, and he would be punished if he made a mistake.

Sometimes it was a slap in the face, sometimes the long nails would dig into his flesh, but it always hurt him.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t even dare to cry. He could only say to Lu Xiaoyun over and over again: “I am not Xie Mingxiao, I am not Xie Mingxiao… I am Xu Qiaochuan.”

It hurt so much that Xu Qiaochuan died once, and he never dared to make any mistakes again.

“No…it’s not…” Xu Qiaochuan had been undergoing rehabilitation training for more than a week, but he could still only make breathy sounds. He trembled and tried to avoid it, almost falling off the wheelchair, “Let go…”

“Take him back quickly.” Jiang Ning hurriedly ran over to separate them. While winking at Xu Qiaochuan’s caregiver, he comforted his aunt in a gentle voice.The woman looked at Jiang Ning blankly, not understanding what was happening in front of her and why she and Ming Xiao were separated.

The doctor’s voice was familiar, but Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t remember the face and didn’t have the intention to recognize it.His whole body ached, and he could only hold his arms tightly, trying to hold down his abnormal self.

After seeing Xu Qiaochuan being taken away, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.The woman she called her aunt was still looking at the direction the people were leaving, as if she had been drained of energy, and she sat slumped on the ground.Jiang Ning exclaimed and reached out to lift Xie Ying up from the ground.

Xu Qiaochuan has disappeared and can no longer be seen.Jiang Ning met her tearful eyes, and Xie Ying’s eyes were full of sorrow.

“He’s not Mingxiao, he’s from the Chen family.” Jiang Ning squatted in front of her, held the hand and persuaded her gently.

Xie Ying suddenly reached out and brushed her away. Jiang Ning was not aware of it and was almost taken out and fell down.Her words angered Xie Ying. Jiang Ning had rarely seen her aunt speak to him so harshly: “What nonsense are you talking about? There is only one child in the Chen family, Zong Qian, and that is my Ming Xiao.”
