Chapter 349 Obsessive-compulsive disorder
"Miss Xu, I know you have tried your best. This result is something I don't want to see. My father has never regretted his promise in his life. I didn't expect that the first time he regretted his promise fell on you." Old Mrs. Wu looked full of guilt when she mentioned this.
The old lady slept in the hotel for two hours, but she still remained tired.
Mr. Wu was lying on the hospital bed at this time, and Xu Youyou couldn't pull anyone up to do something for her.
Now there are seven days left before the mission deadline is over, and Xu Youyou is still staying in the ward. Although she knows that her hope is slim, she still can't help but imagine. What if?
Old Mrs. Wu was so idle that she couldn't help but pull the quilt on the hospital bed. These quilts were brought from her own home.
Xu Youyou looked at the white quilt with a few small flowers embroidered. After being sorted out by Mrs. Wu, the quilt is now neatly covered by the old man, and the small flowers just fell on the old man's shoulders.
"Old lady, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Xu Youyou asked casually.
The old lady said embarrassedly: "I have been accused of this old problem for life. To put it carefully, my father is the same, my brother is the same when he was alive, and even Xiaoguang is like this. It is simply the old tradition of our Wu family."
Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, but just smiled and suddenly realized something.
She turned her head and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but was actually talking to the system.
"You said that only the people from the Wu family can find my box. Can the old lady help me find it?"
The system's reply was quick: [That depends on whether she has learned real skills. 】
Xu Youyou looked suspicious, and she often whispered in front of the old lady. The results she got were very desperate. Although the old lady vaguely knew that the old man was not an ordinary person, she had never participated in the old man's affairs.
According to the old man, "Now is a new era. You girls can study and work, and can walk in the world with dignity. There is no need to learn these family-born skills."
Just when Xu Youyou was full of despair, the system suddenly said:
[Character determines destiny. 】
Xu Youyou felt it was inexplicable and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the system did not give any answers.
When she turned around, she saw the old lady peeling the apple. After the apple was peeled, she cut it into eight very regular pieces, placed it in the shape of a flower on the plate, and after inserting a toothpick, she greeted Xu Youyou: "Miss Xu, come and eat the apple."
Xu Youyou just took the plate of apples when she suddenly heard a sound.
"The apple in the south is crooked, and I don't know how to put it again."
Xu Youyou's hand holding the apple plate was paused, and almost threw a whole plate of apples on the ground. She looked down and saw that the apple in the south of the plate was indeed placed a little crookedly.
She didn't care whether the apple was placed straight or not.
She had heard this voice.
This is the old man's voice.
Could she hear the old man’s voice?
Xu Youyou suddenly remembered, where was the last time she heard her heart? It is an antique artifact, that lacquer plate.
It was too long before she even forgot that she had this golden finger.
How did the system describe this gold finger reward at that time?
right!
"Sometimes there are no sound!"
Xu Youyou was very grateful to the system for the reward. At this time, you could hear the old man's voice, and maybe you could make the old man feel better.
Xu Youyou was not in a hurry to eat apples, but came to the bed of the old man who was still unconscious and said, "Old man, wake up quickly. Everyone is looking forward to your well." "This little girl is quite anxious. It's a pity that I can't wake up even if I want to wake up. Although my body still has its physical characteristics, my soul has left my body and I probably can't go back."
Xu Youyou felt even more sad when she heard this passage of thought. In medicine, the old man was still a living person, but in fact he was almost dead from a supernatural perspective.
However, the fact that the soul leaves the body is enough to explain why the old man was lying there with his eyes closed, but he could see the apple being placed in a crooked manner.
"Quilt! This quilt is not covered like this!"
The old man said anxiously.
Only Xu Youyou could hear his voice in the room. Old Mrs. Wu looked sad and didn't know what she was thinking.
Xu Youyou couldn't help asking, "Is this quilt too thin, the old man feels cold?"
"Who feels cold? The flowers must be placed under this flower quilt. Now I cover my shoulders with the place where I usually cover my feet. It's really a mistake!" said the old man.
Xu Youyou suddenly stood up and rotated the quilt one hundred and eighty degrees. The small flower patterns that originally covered their shoulders are now at the old man's feet.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at her in surprise.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Xu Youyou explained awkwardly: "The flowers and plants all grow on the ground. I think it's more down-to-earth now, so I guess the old man will like it more."
Although Old Lady Wu had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, she did not change her mind when she saw the quilt covered neatly without any confusion.
The sound of the old man's soul was full of surprise: "What's going on? This little girl seems to be able to hear my voice? Can she see my soul?"
As the old man said this, his soul suddenly rushed towards her from Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou did not react at all in such a horrifying scene.
"She can't see."
Just when the old man thought it was a coincidence, Xu Youyou suddenly spoke, "I can hear it."
Old Lady Wu:?
"Miss Xu, what did you hear?" asked Old Mrs. Wu.
Xu Youyou didn't want her to look too strange, so she casually said, "I heard the birds cry outside."
Old Mrs. Wu didn't say anything more.
After Xu Youyou said casually, she found a reason to pay the old lady Wu for the ward.
There was no one else in the room, so she came to the bedside and said, "Old man, I can hear some strange sounds. I think you have been keeping the safe box for your whole life, and you have left ninety-nine steps. After this last step, you hit your hand. You will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"Oh, this little girl can really hear it!" The old man's screaming sound reached Xu Youyou's ears.
The fact is indeed the same as Xu Youyou said. The old man kept his promises all his life. To a certain extent, it was not only because of his noble character, but also because his obsessive-compulsive disorder had long been terminally ill.
It is no difference for him to make a promise but cannot comply with it.
In this situation, he was about to go to the underworld. What he was most concerned about was not the future of his descendants, but the last safe box he had on hand.
Only this last one!
He can complete the task assigned to him by the family!
