The novella "Rain Man".
As soon as I was the last to give the list to my roommate, my roommate went to the teacher.
I thought I would wait for a long time, but I received a text message that afternoon.
The numbers are completely unfamiliar and read as follows:
(This is the personnel department of Xishan Corning Psychiatric Hospital, and we have received your volunteer information.) Please come back on July 29 and end on August 29. Outdated, address Xishan Road, Xishan Mountain. )
Sure enough, it was the West Mountain Asylum.
That's what we call that place.
The impression of the West Hill Madhouse comes almost entirely from the strange talk of the school.
There are a few seniors who went crazy because of their studies and love, and they were all sent there to receive injections, electric shocks, or human experiments in an insane asylum. These little stories are widely circulated, and even a few people believe them to be true.
I glanced at the date on my phone, and today is July 26th.
That is, three days later, I will go to the Xishan Lunatic Asylum to report.
The days were almost blink of an eye, and I was still a little overwhelmed when I was woken up by the alarm clock that day.
Step out of the dormitory and leave the school. I found a shared bicycle and rode for more than 40 minutes.
I came to the foot of Xishan Road, which began to be sparsely populated.
Riding all the way up the mountain, I actually encountered a bus from a mental hospital.
The bus driver naturally stopped in front of me, rolled down the window and asked, "The young man wants to go up?"
I nodded, and the bus driver opened the door.
I put the bike aside, locked it, and got on the bus.
"The young man is very angry, come to visit relatives?" said the bus driver with a smile.
"No, I'm here to volunteer. I said.
"College students, huh?" said the bus driver.
"Yes. I nodded subconsciously.
"There aren't many college students like you anymore, and my son is going to college too. Now that he is a freshman, I would like him to go out to work in the summer. He is like a Buddha at home, and he refuses to move. The bus driver said, glancing at me in the rearview mirror.
"I was also given a task by the school, otherwise I would not have volunteered. I scratched my head and said.
"Alright, let's find a place to sit. There are not many people, so I drive faster, and I remember that I started at 8 o'clock in the morning every morning and left the train at the foot of the mountain on time. Every hour goes up the hill and goes down the hill at half an hour. The last shift at 8 o'clock at the latest, no waiting. The bus driver said with a smile.
I nodded my head and walked towards the first row of seats in the back row, when I saw something lying on the first row of seats.
I was startled, and I screamed "ah~".
The driver turned his head and looked at it, and immediately understood what he said, "She, don't be afraid." It's a psychiatric hospital, called Xiaoyu. ”
That's when I realized that it wasn't a thing lying down, but a person.
I glanced at the little girl lying in her seat, and the little girl was looking at me as well.
The little girl's facial features are very upright, and at first glance it reminds me of my classmates in elementary school.
It was a goddess-level existence in elementary school, of course, at that time, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't know what love was.
At this moment, I still like this little girl a little.
I'm such a beast, and I don't let go of any little girl.
This thought appeared in his mind for no reason, and he said with a wry smile: "Little pot friend, can you give me a seat?"
The driver honked his horn and the car started slowly.
"I'm not called Xiao Penyou, my name is Pang Xiaoyu. The little girl sat up and gave me a seat.
"Bin Xiaoyou?" I said.
"No, it's a light rain. The little girl pouted again.
"Fat little fish?" I said with a smile.
"Well, you might as well call me Little Pot Friend. The little girl turned her head to look out the window.
I smiled and sat down next to the little girl.
The driver's eldest brother glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Don't bully her, she's the treasure of the mental hospital." ”
"The treasure of the town?" I repeated.
"This child was born in a psychiatric hospital. The driver's eldest brother said.
"The doctor's child?" I asked with my first reaction.
"No, it's the patient's. You'll know about this later, the light rain is terrible. You've ever watched the strongest brain? It's a very powerful kind of TV show. The driver said with a smile.
"The strongest brain, this kid?" I said.
"Yes, the dean likes this kid very much. I started teaching her math at the age of three, and that thing was called the Olympiad. This kid didn't go to school, he was taught by the dean. Now twelve years old, she could tell the approximate number of things at a glance. You can even calculate the trajectory of movement, can you understand that?" said the driver.
"Trajectory? Isn't that a logical thing?" I said.
Of course, Xiaoyu can't guess the winning number of the lottery that day, otherwise our mental hospital would have made a fortune. But just let her see the TV show, see the lottery box. She could have known which number was coming out before the ball came out, and now she was so good that she could get the number in three seconds. This is the trajectory of the movement, and let the light rain show you another day. The driver said.
"You're not kidding me, are you?" I said.
The little girl whispered in my ear, "Six seconds later, bird droppings landed on the front window." ”
"What?" I repeated the little girl's words, but I couldn't hear them.
The little girl's hand reached forward, and I followed the little girl's hand to look at it.
When I saw the front window, a small pile of bird droppings landed right on the front window.
"Bad luck. The driver said, turning on the sprinklers and wipers a few times.
I opened my mouth wide and looked back at the little girl for a moment and said, "How do you know?"
"I saw it, it was a black bird. And calculated that the it pulls will hit the glass, impartially. By the way, it's about to brake. The little girl whispered in my ear again.
At this moment, I was at a loss, and suddenly a strong feeling of braking came.
"How do you know that?" I said.
"Fool, I ride this bus every day. Don't I know where to stop?" said the little girl with a smile.
I froze where I was.
The driver opened the door and said, "It's time to get there, let's get down." ”
I was just about to stand up when the little girl opened the window and jumped off.
"Wait, danger. I shouted.
And the little girl had already flipped out and began to run towards the compound.
"This... I muttered to myself.
"Let's go, the little house on the left should be the office of the personnel department. The driver walked over and closed the window that the little girl had opened earlier.
I nodded my head and got out of the car.
Walk towards the location the driver is pointing at.
I knocked on the door, but no one opened it.
I waited for a long time, until I started to get a little impatient.
I went to the side of the window to look inside, but found a note on it.
(On a three-day business trip, I went directly to the roof to find the dean if I had something.) )
I took a look at the whole madhouse, it was outrageous. By the way, it should be said that it is a psychiatric hospital.
Sure enough, there is a small independent attic at the top.
I looked at the attic and sighed, this dean would enjoy it.
I followed the compound into the psychiatric hospital and walked inside.
The patients and nurses were busy all the way, and no one noticed me.
I walked to the upper floor, got on the elevator, went to the top floor, and knocked on the attic door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked. The old voice came.
I immediately pushed the door open and saw the scene inside.
The first reaction was that this dean was quite trendy.
Role-playing Professor X?
Big bald head and wheelchair, and next to him is a little girl.
The little girl was on the blackboard and was calculating the dense deduction formula.
It's complicated, it's very complicated.
I was dizzy and saw the formula at the top.
I couldn't help but open my mouth wide, I know this topic.
The formula turned out to be the famous Euler formula.
I shuddered and said, "Impossible, isn't she?"
"The young man is good at math, you know?" said the dean with a smile.
"When I was younger, I studied Olympiad mathematics for a few years, and then I was a little interested in these things. Of course, it was only self-study, not in-depth. I said.
"Xiaoyu, you go out first. The dean said with a smile.
The little girl nodded her head and walked out obediently.
Grimaced at me as he passed by and burst out the door.
The dean pushed the wheelchair towards me with great difficulty.
Then he moved behind me, closed the attic door and said, "Xiaoyu is a little noisy, and I often don't do such things as closing the door." I'm also quite angry, maybe I'll be okay when I grow up. ”
"It's okay, Dean. I said, remembering that the windows of the bus hadn't been closed before.
"You're a new volunteer, aren't you?" said the dean.
I nodded my head and said, "Yes." ”
