Because my eyes were still covered with bandages, I couldn't see my phone, so I asked Wang Wei who was calling.
Wang Wei told me it was a call from Fatty Zhang.
They had no idea what Fatty Zhang had done to me, so Wang Wei asked if I wanted to take the call. After hesitating for a moment, I sighed and decided to let Wang Wei answer it for me.
Wang Wei pressed the answer button and handed the phone to me. I took the phone but didn't speak right away; I was waiting for Fatty Zhang to say something.
What did I want to hear from him? If it was an explanation, then I thought there was no need to listen. I couldn't even see now. What good would an explanation do? Would it give me back my eyesight?
Fatty Zhang might have been considering what to say as well, as he paused and didn’t speak either. Damn it, was he trying to outlast me in patience?
It was already a miracle that I hadn’t cursed him out loud; besides, I didn’t even know what to say if I wanted to.
What good would cursing do when he had taken my eyes? I took a deep breath and was about to hang up when Fatty Zhang's voice came through the line.
He said, "Saning, I'm sorry." Hearing those three words made me hang up immediately. Damn it, what good is saying sorry?
After hanging up, I leaned back on the bed, feeling heavy-hearted. Although I could still see some things, my face now had two dark holes where my eyes used to be—anyone who saw me would be terrified.
I leaned against the hospital bed and asked Wang Wei what time it was.
Wang Wei told me, "Saning, if you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten. It's twelve o'clock now. I'll go get you some food." With that, Wang Wei left.
Sitting alone on the hospital bed, smelling the disinfectant in the air, I realized that without my eyesight, I couldn't live like a normal person anymore. It seemed I'd have to call my boss and resign soon.
Life had become a mess. Sighing again, I thought about resigning and going back home. To be honest, my boss had treated me well. If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't want to quit.
Wang Wei quickly returned with some food for me. After eating, I asked him to help me with the discharge paperwork since everything else was fine except for my eyes.
When I said I wanted to be discharged, Wang Wei stubbornly refused, insisting that Ke'er had instructed him not to let me go because my injuries weren't fully healed.
I asked Wang Wei, "Where did Ke'er go?"
Wang Wei replied that he didn't know, saying she left at dawn.
I told Wang Wei, "Hurry up and help me arrange for my discharge. I have something important to do."
Wang Wei said he was too scared to do that.
"Damn it, are you going or not? Stop talking so much," I snapped at him. In the end, Wang Wei had no choice but to run off and help me with the discharge paperwork.
After being discharged, I found a place to buy a pair of large sunglasses. I asked Wang Wei to drive me to the company, and in the car, I deliberately asked him, "Why are you still following me when I don't even have my eyes anymore?"
Wang Wei was a bit annoyed by my comment. He said, "Saning, what do you take me for? Am I the kind of person who forgets kindness?"
His words were so righteous that, honestly, I felt a bit touched.
Someone like Zhang Fatty, whom I've known for so long, could betray me; he was truly not as reliable as Wang Wei.
I didn't respond to Wang Wei, but he couldn't help but chuckle a few times and said, "Saning, do you really think your eyes can be taken away?"
Damn it, this guy Wang Wei knows my eyes are still there!
No wonder he spoke so passionately earlier. Regardless of everything, Wang Wei is quite loyal.
I had Wang Wei follow me upstairs. Once we entered the company, I went straight to my office. Along the way, some colleagues teased me about wearing such large sunglasses, saying it made me look high-class.
I ignored them and thought to myself that if I took off the glasses, it would probably scare them to death.
Of course, I still had bandages wrapped around my head. Once I arrived at the office, I directly expressed my intentions to my boss, and to my surprise, he tried to persuade me to stay.
My boss was only in his thirties, having built his career from scratch.
In the end, however, I still resigned. I returned to my rented room, packed up my things, and prepared to go home.
Wang Wei saw that I was heading back to my hometown and said, "Saning, why are you going back? If you don't want to work at this company anymore, you can work with me!"
Just as I was about to respond, Wang Wei reassured me, "Saning, don't worry. I definitely won't sell out."
I had something to say but ultimately kept it to myself.
Regardless of what I did, I planned to return home for a while to rest. In the past, when I had white eyes, I could hide it.
But now that my eyes were gone, I couldn't hide it from my parents; after all, I couldn't avoid seeing them forever.
That was why I made this decision.
After tidying up a bit, I took advantage of the daylight and returned the apartment to the landlord. When I got back, Ke'er was already waiting for me inside.
Ke'er scolded me for being discharged from the hospital.
Honestly, I felt a bit sad. After everything that had happened, I told Ke'er that it was nothing and that I just wanted to go home for a visit.
Ke'er gently touched my cheek and said, "Husband, I'll go back with you."
Later that evening, Jianjian called me. I told her that I was going back home and reminded her to take care of herself. Finally, I asked her to ensure that Wang Wei looked after Wind Tree and helped Wind Tree with school.
However, during our conversation, Jianjian mentioned she had a secret to tell me. But at that moment, I wasn't in the mood to hear any secrets.
After taking care of everything, we headed home that evening.
Wang Wei drove on the highway, and we didn't reach the village until around five or six the next afternoon.
Ke'er only dared to show up at night.
However, as soon as I got out of the car in the village, I sensed something was off. The village was eerily empty. If it were winter, it would be understandable.
But now was the planting season; generally, people would be busy in the fields.
I thought to myself, could it be haunted again? But hadn't the Soybean incident been resolved? Could it be that Third Uncle was causing trouble in the village?
With that thought, I hurried home, but when I arrived, I found the door locked and no one inside.
Could it be that my guess was right?
Before coming back, I had called my parents, and the call went through. It was impossible for them not to be home when I returned. I wondered if they had gone visiting someone.
Moreover, I hadn’t seen them in the fields either!
So, I went to a few houses where my mom often visited. Even though my mom loved to socialize, my dad absolutely did not like visiting others.
Strangely enough, the doors of those houses were also locked; there wasn't a single person in the entire village.
I didn't even see any children, and my heart sank.
Wang Wei ran up behind me and asked, "Saning, is there really no one in your village? Where did everyone go?"
I replied that I didn't know! There should definitely be people around.
I wondered if it was really Third Uncle causing trouble. I almost walked around the entire village, but there was no one in sight. I thought to myself, this doesn’t make sense!
Ke'er appeared at that moment and reminded me that there might be some event happening today.
Hearing Ke'er’s reminder made me recall that in the countryside, if there was an event, the whole village would usually turn out for it.
Since entertainment activities are quite rare in the village, even a theater troupe could attract a lot of people.
I quickly took out my phone to call my mom, but as before, the call wouldn’t go through. The nearest village to ours was several miles away.
Our village is surrounded by Three Mountains, but the routes are not complicated; they are mostly built along the mountains.
Not being able to find anyone made me uneasy. I feared something had happened. If anything happened to my parents, it would be a real problem.
Just then, I received a text message from a number I recognized—it was Evil Being’s number. The message read: Saning, Third Funeral is about to begin...
I replied bluntly: Go to hell, Third Funeral, you bastard. After sending it, I immediately blocked the number.
But after blocking it, I thought to myself, could it really be that perverted Evil Being behind this?
Just as I hesitated whether to send a message for clarification, Wang Wei tapped me on the shoulder. I asked Wang Wei what was wrong.
Wang Wei spoke with some excitement: “Saning, look over there…”
