Seeing the deadly fruit knife fall onto the ground, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, while Zhang Qiang's girlfriend, Jun'er, cried out in joy. She sat down on the ground and kept chanting Zhang Qiang's name, and at the same time, muttered to herself, "Qiang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
Hearing this, I thought, 'Could it be that Zhang Qiang knows the reason why he fell so low?'
However, there are still many people around, so I didn't say anything. I just held onto Jun'er and walked towards Zhang Qiang, who was still struggling desperately.
Very quickly, the hospital staff brought Zhang Qiang a special hospital gown with extremely long sleeves, which could be used to tie people up. Zhang Qiang even had his mouth covered by a mixed seal, just in case.
It was only under these conditions that I was able to clearly see his situation.
Even though he was tied up, he did not seem to have any emotions other than rage. To put it harshly, he was like a rabid dog who had gone mad with rabies. He could bite anyone he saw.
Looking at my good friend acting like this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. Supporting Jun who was choking on something and nearly fainting, I left the ward under the arrangements of the medical personnel.
I found a more remote corner to think about the words that Jun'er had whispered to me earlier, so I asked her, "Do you know anything about Zhang Qiang? How did he become like this? "
Hearing my words, Jun Zi let out a loud wail, and then she told me the whole story from time to time.
It turned out that Zhang Qiang and Jun'er were planning on getting married. Unfortunately, although Jun Zi's parents thought that Zhang Qiang was not bad, but they thought that Zhang Qiang was poor and his daughter wouldn't be able to get along with him. Therefore, they didn't approve of their marriage at all.
However, the two of them were in love with each other. They wanted to start a peaceful family so they worked hard outside to earn money.
However, both of them were office workers, so they could count the amount of money they earned on their fingers. Who knew how long it would take before they could get married.
Later, when many people asked about it, one of his friends mentioned that there was a temple in the western part of the city, about twenty or thirty miles away. Inside the temple was a temple for Huang Daxian, and as long as one went to the heart of the city to pray on a full moon night with offerings, one would naturally be able to accomplish what they wanted.
At first, Jun'er was still a bit dubious, but then her sister told her that she had been there once and had asked for money, and in the end, she actually won the lottery the next day.
Jun Zi saw that she was talking in a serious manner, so she finally decided to urge Zhang Qiang to give it a try.
It was a pity that Zhang Qiang was a person of one mind, so how could he be willing to believe in him? Therefore, he refused to go, but only after she threatened to break up with him, did Zhang Qiang reluctantly leave.
Unfortunately, not only did Zhang Qiang not make a fortune, but he also became seriously ill. For this, Jun'er even felt guilty for a very long time. She even almost fell out with that friend of hers.
After Zhang Qiang recovered, the two of them calmed their hearts down, and their days returned to normal.
But who knew that the good news would not last long? After Zhang Qiang recovered from his illness, the same night, another problem occurred.
When Jun'er said these words, her face was a little pale, her lips were trembling slightly, and her voice was shaking. She looked at me with pity, thinking that the scene at that time had probably scared this girl badly.
"After Zhang Qiang recovered from his illness, I felt sorry for him, so I made an exception and went out to eat a western meal with him. When we got back, the atmosphere was pretty good, and Qiangzi even joked that this meal was enough to make up for his illness for the past few days."
"We washed up and went to sleep, but just as I was sleeping in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a series of rustling noises."
With a pale face, she said, "I got up to take a look, and I saw that the light in the kitchen was still on. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Qiang Zi was probably hungry and was looking for something to eat, so I just shouted and left him alone."
"But after waiting for a long time, he was still the same. I couldn't help but be curious, so I got up and went to the kitchen to take a look. I saw Qiang Zi squatting by the trash can and eating."
"What's he eating?" Speaking up to this point, Jun'er was sobbing, biting her lips hard to prevent herself from letting out a cry.
But the more she did so, the more I wanted to know, and I couldn't help but ask her.
"Qiang Zi, he. "He actually rummaged through the trash in the trash bin, and he even ate the frozen meat I left in the fridge. It was raw." After swallowing for a long time, she finally spoke.
When I heard this, I felt my scalp tingle. I couldn't imagine what it was like, so I asked, "And then?"
To tell the truth, I really can't bear to ask these questions at this moment. However, I thought that it might be related to solving Zhang Qiang's current problems, so I could only grind my teeth and ask.
"What happened?" Jun'er raised her head and looked at me with her red eyes, which were filled with grief. "At that time, he was just like how he was just now, throwing himself at me the moment he saw me. I was so scared, so I ran back to my bedroom and locked the door, then called the police."
After saying all that, Jun'er remained silent, but I started to ponder. If what she said was true, then there was definitely a problem with the broken temple they were in previously.
However, now that Zhang Qiang had been deemed by the hospital to have a tendency to crack and attack, it would be difficult even to visit him. If he wanted to completely solve Zhang Qiang's problem, he would have to start from that broken temple.
After thinking it over, I decided that I still had half a day before work, so I asked Jun'er, "Where is that run-down temple you're in? Can you take me there?"
"You still want to go?" Hearing this, Jun Zi suddenly shivered, as if her heart was still in fear.
"It's daytime now, so there shouldn't be any problems. I just want to go and have a look, maybe I can find out what's wrong with Zhang Qiang." I didn't know if it was to comfort Jun'er or myself, but I said it hesitantly.
Jun Zi lowered her head and thought for quite a while. Finally, she gritted her teeth and looked at me with a determined look, "Fine, let's go take another look."
Since I couldn't see Zhang Qiang anymore, I took a taxi under her lead and arrived at the shabby temple she mentioned.
However, when I got off the car and looked, I was immediately speechless and stunned by the scene in front of me.
Looking around, there were hundreds of acres of wasteland, about half a meter deep. Amongst them, there was a crooked, withered grass that formed a one-man wide path, and the end of this path pointed straight at the temple in the middle of Juan's mouth.
I turned around and glanced at Jun'er, thinking that the two of them must have been driven to a corner by their family, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have done such a thing. Let alone the temple that had been abandoned for who knows how many years, just the sight of the boundless wasteland in front of us was enough to make people panic.
However, this broken temple was quite far from where we were. It was about a mile away, so I couldn't see anything clearly. I just shook my head and walked towards the direction of the temple.
As we were still a long way off, in order to ease the atmosphere, I purposely said, "This place is really strange. There's actually no one buying and developing real estate on such a large piece of land. It actually made him so empty."
Hearing what I said, Jun'er also looked around with a thoughtful expression. She had been looking around for a while, but then she pointed at a sign in the distance and said, "Not necessarily, look over there."
I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a blue sign in the distance with a few lines of white words written on it, but because of my poor eyesight, I couldn't see it very clearly, I could just barely make out the words "limited company", and after a bit of speculation, I realized that this might actually be the case. Aren't you afraid of the government taking it back?
Of course, this has nothing to do with me. If I didn't stay in this city for another ten years, I might not have come here.
Jun'er and I chatted while watching the broken temple getting closer and closer. When we saw the scene in front of us clearly, we couldn't help but feel shocked and almost fell down to the ground.
