Chapter 324 A Dream: A man is old and has withered cardamom
Zhou Yan’s tranquilizer will take some time to wear off. After Aunt Zhou finally calmed down, she carefully tucked him in and walked out of the ward. .
When she saw Su Chengyi, her eyes were red and she was about to kneel down as soon as her knees bent.
“Thank you so much, thank you so much.”
She wanted to repay her, but after struggling for so long, her family had no money left at all, and she felt even more ashamed of her benefactor and had nothing to repay.
Su Chengyi hurriedly bent down to help, and at the same time, his eyes signaled Lin Tong to come over and help.
Lin Tong understood and quickly ran over to hold her on the other side.
"Aunt Zhou, I don't mean this to him."
Lin Tong paused, not knowing how to persuade her for a moment.
Because he doesn’t know why Su Chengyi is doing his best to help. After all, no matter how pitiful he is, he has absolutely no responsibility or obligation to do this for someone he has just met.
Su Chengyi really couldn't cope with such a thing. After thinking about it, he said:
"Aunt Zhou, you don't need to thank me. I was able to find Zhou Yan this time because of the help of noble people. I didn't put in much effort.< br>
At the same time, it was Zhou Yan who was lucky enough to survive the danger
You want to. If you want to thank me, just thank your son himself. It was his perseverance that gave him the chance to be saved.” There are so many "noble people" in the world who have great hands and eyes. Who would inexplicably help a couple with no money and power?
She subconsciously felt that this was just an excuse for herself by this shy young man.
No matter what, Su Chengyi is her biggest benefactor in the world.
During the days when Zhou Yan was missing, she was thinking all the time that if she could exchange her life for Zhou Yan, she would not hesitate at all.
If I can't repay this kindness in this life, then I will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay it.
Su Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief after finally successfully extracting himself from Aunt Zhou's overwhelming thanks.
No matter what, seeing their mother and son reunited now is somewhat of a good ending.
Thinking like this, Su Chengyi raised his head and glanced at the floor.
I’m here, just in time to see Granny Xu.
I upgraded her service last time, but I don’t know how it went.
Although Jushan Sanatorium doesn’t look very good overall, it’s not difficult to be taller among the short ones, right?
At this time, a figure wearing nursing clothes passed by in a hurry. Su Chengyi raised his hand to block her, and said:
"Hello, may I ask"
Who would have thought that this person seemed to be raped by him? As if startled, he jumped eight feet high.
“Who is coming?!”
“.”
Su Chengyi was silent for a while.
There is a familiar feeling about this person, so familiar that it makes you want to hold your forehead.
Sure enough, the next second.
"Su Chengyi?"
"Ye Ju."
"Why are you here?"
The two asked in unison.
Ye Ju was wearing a pink nurse's uniform with her hair hidden in a hat. It was completely different from her usual look. This was why Su Chengyi didn't recognize her at the first time.
“.I came to visit the old man.”
Su Chengyi explained.
"Family?"
"No, neighbor."
"Oh."
Ye Ju nodded thoughtfully.
Su Chengyi looked her up and down and asked with a slight hesitation:
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Please, brother, can't you see? I'm working part-time."
Ye Ju held on to her nurse's hat. Quite satisfied.
"Cleaning?"
".I'm convinced! I'm a serious trainee nurse, okay?"
Ye Ju glared at him angrily and showed the small notebook in his hand.
"Well, please, the patient I'm looking for is named Xu Huiying. Can you help me find out which floor she is on?"
If there is a shortcut, of course I have to take it, so as not to have to ask for a while. other people.
"Okay, oh, I happen to be going there too, so I'll take you there directly."
Ye Ju closed the book and hugged it to his chest.
"Why did you think of working here part-time?"
Su Chengyi looked at her very proficient in business and was a little curious.
“What do you think.”
Ye Ju thrust the notebook into his hand.
“Get it for me.”
She freed her hands to straighten back the hair that had fallen from the brim of her hat.
“Looking for novelties?”
Su Chengyi took the notebook and answered guessingly.
"You're hunting a ghost! You're a pervert."
Ye Ju looked as if he was speechless and about to faint.
"Young master, think about what people do part-time jobs for? It must be money! Mani!
The location here is remote and it is a nursing home. There are very few people willing to apply for the job, so the salary will naturally be high. ”
I didn’t expect it to be such a practical reason.
Su Chengyi thought, but this guy is really brave.
It is still broad daylight, and the atmosphere in the sanatorium is already a bit strange.
Empty corridors, patients with strange temperaments, and unsmiling doctors and nurses.
It would be even more terrifying if there were only a few people on duty in the middle of the night.
No wonder many foreign horror films and horror games like to set the location in an abandoned sanatorium.
As for a horror movie, the plot must be about a group of YouTube bloggers who love to commit suicide. Several men and women who have complicated emotional relationships with each other form a group and come to an abandoned nursing home with some terrifying rumors, and then use night vision cameras to Stay overnight.
During this period, there may be some suicide rituals and the like, and then the staff will begin to be reduced. When dawn the next day, only the heroine will survive.
Horror games are even more exciting. A journalist is investigating a mental hospital alone. The loser protagonist can't do anything but run away with a DV. If the broken DV keeps running out of power, he has to find a battery.
What is the name of the mental hospital in this horror game? Su Chengyi thought about it and forgot.
“What are you thinking about.”
Ye Ju looked at him with eyes full of doubts.
“Nothing.”
Su Chengyi shook his head in denial.
It seems not very polite to the patients here to express their thoughts like this.
“I know even if you don’t tell me.”
Ye Ju made a “cut” sound and suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously.
"Hey, hey, Su Chengyi, do you know? When I was working the night shift last night, I really felt something was wrong!"
"Oh?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating for her to continue.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the elevator entrance. There weren't many people at this spot, and they were the only two people taking the elevator.
Ye Ju pressed down the floor and continued:
"Last night during the night shift, another nurse sister and I took the elevator downstairs. When the elevator dropped to the fourth floor , an old man came to the door
His face was dull and he walked straight into the elevator without looking at anyone.
I originally wanted to ask him where he was going so late, but unexpectedly, the nurse sister's expression changed and she suddenly pressed the elevator door button.
She was relieved until the elevator door closed and continued to go down.
I was very surprised and asked her why?
She said that in our sanatorium, only the dead would tie red strings around their wrists! And the old man just now had a red string like that in his hand!
At this time, I suddenly smiled, raised my hand, and said slowly."
"Is it such a red rope? "
Su Chengyi was caught off guard and rolled up his sleeves, showing off the red rope Okinawa orange on his wrist.
"Oh my god! ! ! Grandma, grandpa, second aunt, eldest uncle, third aunt, and fourth uncle! ! ! Help! ! ! "
Ye Ju screamed in fright in an instant, and the decibel level was almost beyond the maximum range that the human ear can bear. Su Chengyi covered her ears helplessly, and had the urge to throw her out of the elevator.< br>
How could someone tell someone a ghost story and then be so scared themselves? !
“Who knew you really had a red rope!”
Until he got out of the elevator, Ye Ju was still stroking his chest with lingering fear.
After a while, she suddenly thought of something and backed away again, looking at Su Chengyi warily.
"Wait, are you really Su Chengyi?"
How many ghost stories has this guy read? He is timid and loves to see what kind of strange physique he has.
Can you learn from Miss Chu? Because she knows she is timid, she never does this. When there is any disturbance, she will run faster than a rabbit, for fear of seeing some terrible scene.
Su Chengyi took some time to straighten his cuffs and said slowly:
"How do I prove it?"
"Who is the president of our debating club?"
"Deng Yizhou."
"Okay, you pass."
Ye Ju breathed a sigh of relief and led him to Go to the right side of the corridor.
"The Ms. Xu Huiying you are looking for is the most advanced nursing care, over here."
Walking to the door, Ye Ju knocked carefully and his tone became gentle.
"Hello, someone is visiting~"
It's quite impressive, Su Cheng thought.
Seeing no one responded, Ye Ju opened the door.
Su Chengyi was not in a hurry to go in. He just stood at the door and looked at the environment inside.
Compared with the previous ordinary room, the one that paid extra money is really different. The room is spacious and bright, and it is also very clean.
The window sill is sealed, presumably for the safety of the patient.
But in the flowerpot placed on the edge, the rose was still blooming well, and it was gently swaying its branches, as if saying hello to Su Chengyi.
Grandma Xu was sitting on the chair next to her, looking at the flowers quietly.
She didn't seem to realize that someone had walked in, and she never reacted.
Ye Ju was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his personal information.
She had only been working part-time for a few days and didn’t know much about it, but she understood it when she saw “Alzheimer’s disease”.
Alzheimer's disease is commonly known as Alzheimer's disease. In the early stages of the disease, it only affects the patient's intelligence, but in the late stages it can cause various complications.
Fortunately, the kind mother-in-law in front of me is probably still in the early stages.
Su Chengyi beside him did not speak, but stood for a while with his mother-in-law who was looking at the flowers.
The light in the ward was very good, making him look calm and gentle.
After a long while, Su Chengyi asked:
"Why are the mirrors here covered with curtains?"
Ye Ju was still in a daze when he asked, " Ah," he said, and his thoughts came back to him.
“Because many Alzheimer’s patients forget themselves first. So when they look in the mirror, they think they are strangers and quarrel with themselves in the mirror.”
Su Chengyi looked at the tightly covered mirror and nodded to express his understanding.
Similarly, seeing a stranger in the mirror in the middle of the night makes me scared just thinking about it. No wonder many patients scream in terror at the sight of mirrors.
This may be a manifestation of cognitive confusion.
After a long time, Su Chengyi walked up to Granny Xu and knelt down to look at her level.
"Grandma Xu, I'm Xiaoyi, I'm here to see you."
As expected, the other party didn't react at all and just stared at the flowers on the windowsill.
Su Chengyi followed her gaze and looked over.
“Your flowers are so beautiful.”
“It’s beautiful.”
It seemed that the topic she was interested in was finally mentioned. Granny Xu reacted and smiled. replied.
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi also laughed.
"Do you want any other flowers? I will buy a few more pots for you."
"No."
Unexpectedly, Granny Xu refused firmly. , she said slowly:
"I gave this pot to Xiaoyi. He is smart and can take good care of him."
"Yes."
Su Chengyi lowered his head and smiled. I actually still remember this.
When the visiting hours ended, Granny Xu had already dozed off in the rocking chair. Su Chengyi took the blanket and put it on her body, walked lightly, and left the ward.
“Is this mother-in-law your neighbor?”
Ye Ju looked at the visit records and became a little silent.
The last record was several months ago and was also left by Su Chengyi.
In other words, in the past few months, the mother-in-law's children or relatives have never visited her.
“Yeah.”
Su Chengyi thought for a while and added:
"She has always taken good care of me."
Ye Ju nodded. After this visit, both of them felt a little complicated.
This floor belongs to the senior ward, so there is also a separate activity center.
Taking advantage of the nice weather, some patients were playing badminton, while others were holding radios and listening to the opera. The babbling sounds were very nice.
“In a dream, people are old and have withered cardamom. There are no mirages in this world.”
Su Chengyi remembered that this was the libretto of the Peking Opera "Six Chapters of a Floating Life".
“Actually, when I first started working part-time, I was a little worried.”
Ye Ju said as he lay on the railing, as if talking to himself.
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi looked at the old man dancing to the opera and imagined how terrifying it would be to see this scene in the middle of the night.
"But then I felt that I was actually biased. Everyone here is very nice."
Ye Ju thought for a while and then said:
"Although some behaviors are a bit strange. For example, they suddenly sang and danced in the corridor in the middle of the night. When eating, they had to shout "Long live my emperor" before they would eat. They felt that they were like mushrooms, so they kept squatting in the corner with an umbrella. Well, but speaking of it, they were nothing. It’s malicious.
It’s just that the world in their eyes is different from ours, and it’s normal, right?”
“Yeah.”
Su Chengyi agreed.
“By the way, this floor.”
Ye Ju suddenly remembered her serious business, she took two steps forward, then turned back and waved.
"Su Chengyi, come here and introduce me to a little girl."
What a strange name for a little girl.
Su Chengyi was curious and followed her inside.
Ye Ju walked to the innermost room in the corridor before stopping.
The structure of this room is different from other high-end wards. The location is not good, and the ventilation and lighting conditions are also the worst.
Su Chengyi thought that if it were a hotel, most people would not be willing to stay in this room.
Compared to Granny Xu’s just now, the steps to open the door here are more complicated. There is a layer of steel door behind the wooden door.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps came from the room.
Ye Ju smiled and said hello:
"Xiaoxia~Sister is here to see you."
"."
Su Chengyi thought about it and raised his head He opened his eyes and met the eyes of the girl who stumbled over.
Good guy.
It is the little witch who was the master thief from before.
At first, when she saw that Ye Ju was not the only one coming, she looked a little scared, but when she saw that it was Su Chengyi, she suddenly calmed down a lot.
