[114] Midnight Doubt
This old man drank to death. The sanatorium also made the rules that he often talked about into a compendium of rules and regulations. All employees are strictly prohibited from smoking and drinking.
Old Zhang died, and Zhong Kui was left in the backyard. He took over the work of two people by himself, working day and night. But strangely, after Old Zhang died, the delivery van never came.
If the van doesn't come, he won't pick up and deliver the body. He will have free time to do other things, such as occasionally someone calling for help in the front yard. I can't help but think of him, and he will be spinning like a top in the front yard and back yard.
There is a girl from out of town in the nursing home, named Xiao Xu, who seems to be here as an intern. She is not very familiar with the environment here. When she first came here, she was clumsy and was bullied by the old employees, just like a handyman.
There was a special patient who wet the bed, and the heavy bedding needed to be dried on the roof. Xiao Xu was depressed. A large pile of items on the bed were stained by the patient's urine. They were not allowed to take them all to dry, and the sheets had to be washed.
That would work. But it would be a bit troublesome for her to do so many things at once by herself.
Every nursing worker in the sanatorium is assigned tasks and objects of care. The patient who peed on the bed was the first patient Xiao Xulai came into contact with after completing his apprenticeship in the sanatorium.
Seeing a lot of sheets and other items that smelled of urine, Xiao Xu felt worried. She had no choice but to be shameless and ask other nursing staff to help. But she shouted around, but not only did no one pay attention, but she also attracted gossip.
"Young lady? You're not here to be pretentious." A middle-aged nurse curled her lips and said coldly: "I thought this was your home, who am I going to call you?"
"Uh!" Xiao Xu was scolded by this mother-like aunt. She was also pointed at by other nursing workers. Judging from the way they were whispering to each other, they must have talked about something bad. She turned away and left with a face on her face.
Burning with shame.
A new cleaner who came to replace Lao Zhangtou's wife sympathized with her. But he didn't dare to say anything. He just worked on the side and observed. When he saw her hiding her face and leaving, he hurriedly picked up the dustpan and followed her.
"Hi! Girl."
Xiao Xu stood still, turned around and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, what's the matter?"
The cleaner smiled faintly, and his brow wrinkles relaxed. He said with a smile: "We are new here too. Why are they bullying others? Let me tell you, there is a good person in the backyard, his name is... what is he?" The cleaner thought hard.
After thinking for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "My name is Zhong Kui. He is quite a nice guy. Go ask him for help."
This was the first time Zhong Kui met Xiao Xu, a healthy, fat and strong rural woman. Judging from her age, she should be between (-35). Her generous and decent speech and behavior won his favor.
When he heard that she was in trouble, he immediately agreed to help without saying a word.
Xiao Xu just had the idea of giving it a try and asked this strange man for help. After he readily agreed to help, he was naturally very grateful and moved. After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other. After they became familiar with each other, they had more topics to talk about.
.
"Brother Zhong, are you not a local?"
"No." Zhong Kui kept it in mind and was careful with his words and actions. He didn't say much, just two words.
"You don't like to talk?" Xiao Xu said with some disappointment. It can be said that she is as lonely as she wants here. It is not easy to meet a good person who is willing to help her. If she feels frustrated, she really wants to take a break.
Pour it out. Unfortunately, the other party doesn't seem to like to talk much. If you can't talk, you can't communicate, so she can't keep talking alone there. Wouldn't it be a mental illness?
"No, I've been feeling depressed recently, so you know." Zhong Kui said expressionlessly, but his hands didn't stop. He quickly put the bedding on the clothes drying pole, and continued to take down another piece he needed.
Items to dry.
Xiao Xu, in order to attract the other party's attention, went through a lot of searching, sifting through what he had seen and heard recently, and finally selected one thing to tell Zhong Kui.
"Oh, how about I tell you an interesting thing?"
Zhong Kui had other things on his mind, and wanted to finish Xiao Xu's business as soon as possible and leave. He seemed a little impatient, and he also took into account that the other party was a woman. Under the conflict, he had to maintain an indifferent appearance on the face, and said:
"What's interesting? Tell me!"
"There is a ghost here, did you know?"
Zhong Kui, who had not paid much attention to Xiao Xu's speech, immediately became interested when he heard her words. "Ghost? Did you see that there?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Xu seriously.
This is what women are like. After attracting the attention of the other party, they start to play tricks to whet their appetite. Although Zhong Kui is not a handsome guy, nor is he a young and promising young man, he is still tall and in good health in all aspects.
He is the opposite sex. Coupled with his helpful character, Xiao Xu has a vague liking for him.
"Don't be afraid if you hear this." Xiao Xu pretended to be mysterious, looking around and then said seriously: "Isn't the old Zhangtou who kept watch with you dead?"
The other party accidentally mentioned Lao Zhangtou, and Zhong Kui was suddenly startled. On his face, he looked calm and calm and said: "Life and death, what's so strange about it?"
Xiao Xu shook his head and said with a slightly nervous expression: "But that night I saw something coming out of Lao Zhangtou's house."
"How could you have seen it? Wasn't the door closed?" Zhong Kui asked after him.
Seeing that the other party was completely attracted by his gossip, he felt really embarrassed for a while. Then he said solemnly: "That night, I came to do that (women's period) and got up frequently. When I went to the bathroom, I glanced at
When I saw a light seeping out of the backyard, I was curious and tiptoed over. I saw a
A man, covered in tatters, flashed out of Lao Zhangtou's house. Let me tell you, I was so scared that I almost..." Xiao Xu's face turned red, and he stopped talking embarrassedly, under the expectant gaze of the other party.
, continued: "I hid aside and saw the man coming out and went straight to the isolation ward."
Zhong Kui knew that the isolation wards were those dozen vegetative wards that suddenly returned to normal. Because they were protected from light, they rarely came out during the day. The hospital also explained that this situation was caused by the patient being bedridden for a long time.
They have to wait until they adapt to the surrounding environment before they can officially live like normal people.
"Are you sure you are a patient?"
"Sure."
"If you were asked to identify him, do you still remember his appearance?"
"This?" Xiao Xu seemed worried and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
"..." Zhong Kui knew that she must have misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly explained: "I'm not asking you to identify face to face, but quietly. Try your best to identify without alerting the other person. You can do it."
