Chapter 238: Dementia
After getting the key to the room, Lin Yu helped the old man carry his luggage, and after everything was settled, Lin Yu said to the old man, "Grandma, you have a good rest, I'll go back to school first." ”
The old man smiled and nodded, after seeing the simple but neat layout in the room, as well as the air conditioner, TV, water heater and other electrical appliances, the old man was even more satisfied with the place that Lin Yu helped her find. As Lin Yu told her, most of the college students who lived here were around, and the old man saw several young faces, but on Sunday night, most of them had to check out.
The food is also very convenient, before coming up, the old man noticed that there are many restaurants around, as well as a large supermarket, Lin Yu told her that these restaurants are also for student business, and the price is also very fair. If you need to buy some necessities, you can go to the supermarket, the supermarket closes at half past ten in the evening, and the elderly can first see what they lack before deciding to buy it.
When the door was closed for the old man, the man also walked out, Lin Yu asked casually, "Where are you going now?" Lin Yu didn't want the other party to follow him to the university dormitory, although he was a god of death, he would not restrict the activities of the soul, and the man's actions were free before going to the soul world.
This question made the man a little confused, except for following the Grim Reaper and the old man, he really didn't know where he should go. For his wife and children, the man has completely let go, and he doesn't want to disturb their lives anymore, so the man now finds himself with nowhere to go.
"If you really don't have a place to go, just guard the old man's house at the door," seeing the confusion in the man's eyes, Lin Yu commanded.
The man quickly nodded in relief, and quietly guarded the old man, just like the flower cat raised by the old man, maybe this is the only thing the man can do now.
The man squatted down at the door of the old man's room, his slab hairstyle fitting well for such a position, like the ruffian squatting on the side of the street in TV. The man must be tempted to smoke a cigarette now, because his index and middle fingers will unconsciously put them to his mouth, but when he realizes that there is nothing in it, the man will smile self-deprecatingly.
No one can see this scene in front of them, except for Lin Yu, I have to say that this picture has a strange sense of warmth, if it is in the eyes of ordinary people, it will definitely think that it is a ruffian hooligan squatting outside the hotel room. They may be worried about the safety of the guests in the room, because the man does not look very friendly.
But the real situation is that the man is guarding the old man in his way, he is indeed not a good person, and he defrauded the old man of his savings of 300,000 yuan not long ago, but he is definitely not squatting to try to harm the guests in the room, but wants to atone for the mistakes he made through his own actions.
Through the window of the corridor, the man saw that it was already night outside, the street lights on the street were lit at the same time, and various shops turned on LED signs of different colors, and the prosperity of Yangcheng was more visible at night...
Back in the dormitory, Lin Yu found that the two roommates had not returned, possibly taking advantage of the weekend to go outside to indulge. He turned on his second-hand computer, and when it was finally done, he typed the words Alzheimer's into the search box of a browser.
Lin Yu wanted to find out whether the symptoms of this disease could match the old man's performance today, whether she really couldn't remember her son's contact information and address, or if there was something else that was difficult to say.
After his own observation and thinking, Lin Yu thought of a possibility, that is, the old man and her son have actually lost contact for a long time, so the old man will not know where he lives now. Otherwise, even if he was in the army, he would not have been in contact with his mother for such a long time, and the old man had not done anything except waiting stupidly at home, and there were too many loopholes in it.
After looking at several search results, Lin Yu found that Alzheimer's disease generally has several stages, and the most serious will develop to the extent that you can't take care of yourself and incontinence. Of course, the performance of the elderly is far from this stage, and the initial mild dementia period, during this period of symptoms, memory decline, forgetting recent events, judgment ability decline, unable to accurately analyze, think, and judge events.
Lin Yu felt a little consistent when he saw this, the old man really didn't seem to remember what happened recently, such as that he had come to Yangcheng alone. At the same time, she also lacks the basic judgment ability to judge things, and she still believes that her son was tied up by a creditor, and the person who called her cannot be a fraudster.
So, does the old man really have Alzheimer's? Lin Yu frowned and thought for a while, unable to come up with a definite result, but if the old man couldn't remember where his son was tomorrow, Lin Yu had no choice but to send her back to his hometown, and he couldn't let the old man stay in the hotel all the time.
Later, Zhou Guanghua and Xu Feihang came back together, they really went to the Internet café to play games for a day, and now that the end of the semester is approaching, it is good to relax before the exam week arrives.
Lin Yu told Xu Feihang that he was going out for a day tomorrow, and he had a sign-in assignment or something, so he asked Xu Feihang to help him get it done first. Xu Feihang agreed without saying a word, this is a tacit understanding between them that does not need to be said explicitly.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu casually ate some breakfast in the cafeteria and came to the hotel, he saw the figure of the man in the corridor from a distance, this time he was not squatting on the ground, but gently leaning against the wall next to the room.
The man saw that the god of death appeared, and a smile similar to admiration appeared on his face, Lin Yu nodded at him, and when he got closer, he found that the door of the old man's room had been opened.
It seems that this is the reason why the man no longer squats at the door, even if he knows that he will not be seen by the old man, the guilt in the man's heart still makes him unable to face the old man directly.
"Grandma, did you sleep well last night?" Lin Yu said as he stood at the door.
The old man poked his head out of the room, the tired look on his face was gone, and he was replaced by a warm smile of spring, "Son, come on in, you got up so early." ”
Lin Yu walked in and saw that the old man was sorting out the things in his backpack, and after chatting a few words, Lin Yu learned that the old man had already had breakfast downstairs, and she was full of praise for the taste of Yangcheng's special breakfast boat porridge.
After a while, Lin Yu watched the old man take out an old-fashioned camera from his backpack, and while she put it in her hand and skillfully tinkered with it, she said to Lin Yu, "Child, accompany me to the People's Liberation Army Academy today, okay?"
