Chapter 20 Hospitals

Salt Lake County, County Hospital Emergency Department.

Although it was already night, the emergency department was still a little busy and noisy, with the crying of children, the communication of adults, and the sound of nurses reminding from time to time mixed in the emergency hall.

Unlike during the day, the emergency department replaces the outpatient department to some extent after the county hospital breaks in the evening outpatient clinic.

Most patients and their families do not care whether their condition is critical or not, and once they get sick at night, their only option is to come to the emergency department, especially the parents of children, who are even more worried.

And in this hustle and bustle, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying stepped into the emergency department of the county hospital.

“...... There are a lot of people in the county hospital here. Gu Xiaoying looked at the crowded patients in the corridor and was slightly surprised, "It stands to reason that most patients who need to go to the emergency department don't like to run to the city hospital or a bigger hospital?"

"The situation is different from place to place, so it can be regarded as a regional characteristic. Lian Ge simply explained, "The location of the county seat of Yanhu County and the urban area of Xugou City is basically opposite, if there is a critical patient who needs to go from Yanhu County to Xugou City Hospital, even if it is a wild drive all the way on the mountain road, it will take more than two hours.

And this is still the distance between the two urban areas, if it is a village and town under the jurisdiction of Salt Lake County, it is good to be close to the urban side, if it is the other side, it is at least three hours.

If it is really a critical condition, the corpses sent to the city will begin to have corpse spots. ”

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying, smiled slightly, and continued: "But because of this, the hardware and software strength of the emergency department of the county hospital is not bad. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded knowingly, withdrew her gaze from everyone in the corridor hall, and looked at Lian Ge again,

"Then we're going to the county hospital now, how are you going to let me see it, Lian Ge...... Ghost?" As she spoke, Gu Xiaoying leaned in slightly and asked mysteriously in Lian Ge's ear.

"Come with me. Lian Ge glanced at the emergency hall and walked towards the entrance of the corridor.

"Oh. Gu Xiaoying nodded slightly, and then tiptoed forward with Lian Ge.

The two skimmed down the hall, appeared at the staircase at the entrance of the hallway, and walked upstairs to the emergency hall.

Inadvertently turned his head, Lian Ge noticed Gu Xiaoying's movements, and couldn't help but laugh a little, crying and laughing,

"Gu Nuxia, are you tiptoeing and shrinking your head and tail, are you a thief? Don't you think your actions make people look more strange?"

"No, you forgot, this is a hospital, and others will only think that I have a brain disease. ”

"You're pretty proud, aren't you?"

"yes, I'm a witty one most of the time. ”

Although he said that, Gu Xiaoying still put away the action casually, and then held Lian Ge's hand.

Smiling, Lian Ge didn't speak again, and took Gu Xiaoying to turn around and continue to walk upstairs.

......

Compared with the downstairs, the upstairs, which is only one floor apart, seems very quiet.

Except for the two nurses at the front desk, there were only a few people in the entire hallway.

“...... Lian Ge, how do you know that this is an intensive care unit?"

couldn't help but be affected by the environment, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying slowed down and lowered the sound of communication.

"My parents stayed here for a month after they were in a car accident. Lian Ge said in a calm tone.

“...... I'm sorry. Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge with some apologetic feelings.

"It's alright, it's been a long time. Lian Ge squeezed out some smiles and touched Gu Xiaoying's hair.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Ge pulled Gu Xiaoying past the front desk where there was a nurse.

"Lian Ge, why hasn't anyone paid attention to us?" Gu Xiaoying asked in a low voice again.

"Remember the spell I used when I came?"

“...... Imperial Decree, Invisible Concealment?" Gu Xiaoying said uncertainly, and after the words came out, she became a little excited,

"Are we invisible now?"

"The effect of that spell is to reduce our presence, we still exist in their eyes, and if you speak louder, their attention will be focused. Lian Ge explained in a low voice.

"Oh. Gu Xiaoying nodded obediently, and then made a zipper movement on her lips, signaling her to stop talking.

Seeing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then took Gu Xiaoying along the corridor and looked over one by one in the intensive care unit,

Through the window on the door of the ward, every time he passed through an intensive care unit, Lian Ge glanced inward with his unclosed heavenly eyes.

Gu Xiaoying next to her also obediently stopped making a sound, and just followed Lian Ge's ward by ward.

Finally, when he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Lian Ge took Gu Xiaoying and stopped in front of an intensive care unit.

"Alright, this is it. Lian Ge looked through the glass window on the door and looked up at the patient in the intensive care room again.

"There's ...... there. Ghosts?" Gu Xiaoying lowered her voice, and also leaned over to the glass window to look in.

"Not yet, but soon. Lian Ge said in a calm tone.

"Huh? That means ......."

"Well, yes. Lian Ge nodded, affirming Gu Xiaoying's thoughts, "Do you still want to see it?"

“...... Think!" Gu Xiaoying nodded firmly.

"Well, be prepared. Lian Ge pulled Gu Xiaoying to the side of the door, and then took out three sticks of incense and a lighter.

"Smack. ”

Light the incense with a lighter, put the lighter back into your pocket, hold the three sticks of incense with both hands, and solemnly get up,

"Burning soul incense, yin and yang. The edict of the 120th generation of the descendants of the Lian family, yin and yang are connected, and people and ghosts are powerful!"

Standing the incense in front of Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge shouted in a low voice.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoying felt that the picture in front of her seemed to have changed somewhat, but it didn't seem to be.

"Okay?" Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge with some confusion.

"Alright. Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then handed the burning three incense sticks in his hand to Gu Xiaoying,

"Take these three sticks of incense in your hand, you can see them before the incense is burned. ”

When Gu Xiaoying heard this, she took the three incense sticks and held them in her hand.

As soon as the incense arrived, she felt that the picture in front of her suddenly seemed to be much more real.

"Now I'm watching. ”

Following Lian Ge's voice, Gu Xiaoying took the three sticks of incense, turned around and returned to the door of the intensive care room, and looked in through the transparent glass on the door.

In the next moment, the picture came into view, Gu Xiaoying's whole body was stunned, her pupils shrunk, her eyes widened slightly, and she barely screamed under full psychological preparation.

At this moment, in her sight, the picture is no longer just a patient lying quietly on a hospital bed, just above the patient's body, or within the body, there is the same shadow struggling desperately,

"That's it...... Is that person's soul?" Gu Xiaoying forcibly endured the emotional changes in her heart, and asked in a low voice,

"Yes, that's the soul of the patient. Lian Ge nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"He seems to be struggling, does he want to get out of his body? Is it that the soul is dead when he leaves the body?" Gu Xiaoying stared at the soul in the intensive care room and asked again,

"Under normal circumstances, people whose souls are separated from their bodies do die. However, he struggled not to get out of his body, but to fight against his body's rejection and try his best to stay. As he spoke, Lian Ge paused,

In other words, this patient has a strong desire to survive. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying was silent for a moment, and then nodded,

After a moment, Gu Xiaoying withdrew her gaze.

"Lian Ge, let's go. ”

"Okay, let's go. ”

......

Moments later, outside the hospital.

“...... Lian Ge, have you ever researched what the nature of the soul is?"

After an extremely short period of time, Gu Xiaoying quickly accepted the existence of ghosts, and then pulled Lian Ge to discuss it with some interest.

Looking at Gu Xiaoying's expression of wanting to catch a ghost to dissect,

Lian Ge couldn't help but think of the figure in the dissection room, skillfully dissecting the human body, and in the laboratory, cleanly twisting the neck of the guinea pig.
