Chapter 80: The Withered Platycodon
I walked out of the gate of the community and saw Xue Chen on the other side of the road at a glance. He was standing in front of the flower shop, and there was a woman with an umbrella beside him.
"Miss Lin is early!" Yulan greeted.
I stepped forward and answered, "Morning!" β
Yulan took out a flower with purple edges on a white background from the flower stand outside the store and handed it over: "This is a bellflower, it's still very tender, give it to you!" β
"Thank you!" I took it and said, "We just happened to visit a friend in the hospital, can you help me with a bouquet of flowers?" β
"Of course! Inside please! Yulan walked ahead and went to the door first. I followed him, and I was slightly stunned at the door, and I couldn't help but think of that dream - "Isn't Xiaowen here?" I made up my mind and walked in as if nothing had happened.
"It's still early, she doesn't go to work until nine o'clock!" Yulan responded.
I handed the bellflower in my hand to Xue Chen: "Help me hold it!" β
Xue Chen took it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, I think he must have noticed the "yin qi" from the last glance again, and they tacitly knew each other.
Yulan put on film gloves, picked up a bouquet of stars and asked, "Is this okay?" β
"Yes!"
"Usually when we send a bouquet to a patient, we will match it with a flower fountain. Even if you don't have a vase, you can place and water it! Yulan said.
"Thank you!"
After I settled the bill, I left the flower shop with Xue Chen and rushed to the hospital. After inquiry, I learned that the woman who was injured last night was called Zhou Duoli, and the child in her womb was three months old. Unfortunately, the person arrived too late and had a miscarriage, and she was still in a coma......
Xue Chen and I went to visit in the name of colleagues. Zhou Duoli was placed in the intensive care unit, and I looked at the person in the hospital bed who was in a severe coma, with mixed feelings. Dori's parents were so emotional that they didn't even know their daughter was pregnant, and they couldn't figure out how she could have happened to her.
After leaving the ward, Xue Chen suddenly stopped me, and I looked back - "How can this be?" "I took the bellflower in his hand, and after a while, it withered and blackened, as if it were ...... It's like my dream, and I've been sucked out of my life force.
"Oops!" I remembered the starry bunch on the bench in the ward and hurried back.
"What's wrong?" Father Zhou looked at me in surprise as I broke into the ward.
I looked at the starry sky, but there was nothing unusual about it, and there was not a trace of withering. I apologized and said, "I forgot to say, I wish her 'a speedy recovery'!" I exited the room, closed the door, and opened it again--"Jingle Bell~Jingle Bell~"
"Is there anything else?" Father Zhou looked at me in surprise again.
I looked through the glass, looked at the "person" in front of the hospital bed, shook my head and said, "I just...... Not very worried about her! β
"Thank you, you have a heart!" Mother Zhou choked up and said.
"Baby...... Baby ......" The female ghost looked at Dori on the hospital bed and called out vigorously.
Since the other party has no malicious intent, I don't think I need to be so nervous. I closed the door of the ward again and looked at Xue Chen, who was contemplating against the wall: "I'm going now, will she come with me?" β
When Xue Chen heard this, he looked at me and asked in confusion: "You seem to like to ask me this kind of question?" β
I unconsciously glanced up with my eyes, and said embarrassedly: "You have more experience than me, if you don't ask you, who else can you ask?" β
Xue Chen said with a rare sigh: "Actually, I don't know much!" When I was young, I was very curious, and I lived with an old lady at that time, and I heard some of her talk about it. Afterward...... I live with my dad and don't interact much! β
"What about your mother?" I asked casually.
Xue Chen smiled helplessly: "It's been many years since she died...... It was only after that that that I left the Du family! β
"I'm sorry!"
Xue Chen looked at me and said, "It seems that I will make up for it in the future!" β
"Huh?"
"Otherwise, who will answer your question!" Xue Chen smiled softly, "Let's go!" Go around and try your luck! β
Confused, I followed and asked, "What luck?" β
"Old man Xia!" Xue Chen said without looking back.
In the morning there was a light rain, and it stopped, but it was still darkβas if a bigger rain was brewing, and it was not time for it to fall......
"In this weather, he shouldn't go out for a walk!" I said in frustration.
"Uh-huh!"
"By the way, did you pay attention to the reports about the fall?" I suddenly remembered to say.
Xue Chen immediately took out his mobile phone, handed it to me after a while, and said, "It's this!" β
The news reporter is the local morning reading, and the headline is: Jingtai shopping mall employees are suspected of emotional disputes and accidentally fall from the building!
"Could it be an accident?" I asked, confused.
"It's not too early to jump to conclusions!" Xue Chen said.
The report mentioned that the deceased was a new employee of the logistics department of the mall, named Gao Hui, 25 years old - so on the night of the incident, she inadvertently went up to the top floor and bumped into Manager Zheng who misbehaved with Duoli, and was pushed downstairs by mistake during the dispute? But seeing that she cares so much about the child in Dori's belly, they may know each other, and they rushed to save people, but they were killed?
Alas, annoying! She can talk obviously, why has she been in a trance? If Wang Man can tell things like that, it will solve a lot of problems!
"Take her to the old lady!" Xue Chen proposed.
"Hmm!"
I walked out of the hospital hall with Xue Chen, but saw a familiar figure.
"Old man Xia!" I hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Xia Lao turned around and looked at me with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect to see you before leaving!" β
"You're discharged!" I said happily.
"I accidentally fell, and my old friend insisted that I be hospitalized. Alas, after living for more than half a month, the old man is finally free! β
For Xia Lao, my heart is always full of doubts. The old lady has been looking for Xia's family for many years, but she has not heard any news, but I met it in the hospital. Is it really just because of the old host's dream, that Xia Lao appeared so coincidentally?
Xia Lao asked suspiciously: "You guys are here to see friends again?" β
I nodded, "I'm in trouble!" β
"Hmm!" Xia Lao showed a trace of embarrassment, "The old man can't help you with this." Before parting, I will give you a saying: 'People are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points'. It will meet you one day, and the old man will listen to your story again! Bye! Xia Lao shrank his neck, waved his hand humorously, and walked towards the big man waiting for him not far away.
"This old man is very ...... Lively! Xue Chen commented.
I looked back at him and said depressedly, "Let's go too!" β
As soon as the door of the Du family opened, Huzi immediately pounced on Xue Chen, his eyes were a little red and swollen.
I walked towards Mrs. Du, who had a worried face, and asked softly, "Grandma Du, what's wrong with Xiaohu?" β
Old Madam Du sighed: "Huzi's parents are going to pick him up in the next few days, it's awkward!" β
"That's a good thing! Many children can't wait to be with their parents during the summer vacation! I laughed.
Old Madam Du sighed heavily: "This time to pick him up, it is also the old lady's meaning." After this...... He's not studying here! With that, she turned around and went into the house, wiping the tears that had slipped from the corners of her eyes.
