Chapter II: Hospitalization
Because our family lives on the 18th floor, the floor-to-ceiling glass of the balcony cannot be opened, only a small one on each side, and the windows are set high.
When the grandmother stepped on her clothes, she stepped on the open window with her other foot by this height......
It's about jumping off a building! This was my only reaction, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I cried out, and my dad rushed out of the room, and I pointed hard at the balcony with my hand, unable to say a word. Fortunately, Dad reacted quickly and immediately pulled down Grandma, who was about to go out by half-time!
After Dad comforted my grandmother to sleep, he asked me how I climbed up such a high window, and I hesitated, but still told me about the clothes
"Which clothes?"
I looked over and saw that the balcony floor was empty, and when I looked at the drying rack above, the clothes and pants that had just been on the floor were now hanging on it, and I was very sure that I was not mistaken, those were the two pieces! And I also remember very clearly, from the time it happened to the present, there were a total of 4 people in the family, grandma, father, mother and me, none of the 4 of us went to pick up clothes! When my dad asked me, I looked at the balcony stupidly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Dad touched my head and said regretfully, "Go to sleep, maybe I'm scared, don't think about it, good night."
It's the summer vacation period now, and my parents have been very busy, going out early and returning late all day, so I usually spend a little more time with my grandmother, and usually my aunt comes to cook and clean at noon, but ...... After that time, my aunt changed a lot, and that time there was another aunt who was leaving, and I asked for a long time before I told me that every time I would see my grandmother either talking to the wall alone, or someone crying, or she was very shy and smiling secretly, and she wore the red pajamas I bought every day, and sometimes she looked a little scared.
Dad and a few uncles decided to take Grandma to a well-known local psychiatric hospital, of course, the reason for this decision was not because of what the aunts said, but because of ...... There have been many suicide attempts.
I took my grandmother with my family early that morning, but I was a little looking forward and nervous. Entering the courtyard, he nervously followed his family, and couldn't help but secretly look at the people around him, and couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. People are always mystical about the unknown, at least I am, especially here.
When I was looking around, I suddenly collided with something, and when I looked back, it was over! It's an old man! I saw him lying on the ground, I even said sorry, and bent down to help, but the uncle ignored me, but slowly arched his back at a very slow speed, I stiffened there, I didn't know what he was going to do. Then slowly supported the ground with his hands and knelt on his feet, which reminded me of Ouyang Feng's toad skills.
This is a neurological hospital, so could he be a patient? I know that some patients think that they are some kind of creature, so will this old man think that he is a toad? Of course this was all my guess, and I should have helped him up right away anyway.
"Grandpa, are you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to", I grabbed his arm and tried to get him to stand up, but I didn't expect it to sink surprisingly, under my pull, he didn't move, and his face kept facing the ground, not looking at me and ignoring me. I was speechless for a moment, and I just crouched next to him, not knowing what to do next......
Just when I was embarrassed, the uncle slowly turned his head, it was really slow, as if the neck would break if it was a little faster, forgive me for the inappropriate analogy, but it was really that feeling at the time, I held my breath and waited there, comforting myself, I'm getting older, so just move slowly.
When they all turned to me, face to face, I was also relieved, isn't it just an ordinary old man, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem, I apologized again, and tried to pull him up again, but I still can't pull it up, such a thin old man, it's a little strange to be heavy! I was embarrassed and said, "Grandpa, get up, your knees will get cold." ”
However, he is slowly smiling! Yes, smiling is normal, but his smile is also slow, the corners of his mouth are rising a little bit, I obviously feel that the face is twitching, wrinkles spread out like chrysanthemums, and I am so close to him face to face, just holding his arm of the hand, a little bit of letting go, people have a sense of self-protection, I obviously feel a sense of threat, I don't know what he is going to do, why such a weird smile at me, in fact, people's fear is the unknown of things, I struggle inside, at this time I can't help it, do you care if you go away? And at the moment I am only a few centimeters away from him face to face, what should I do? It's all stiff, and I don't have the courage to take a step back!
Grandpa slowly opened his mouth (why is he so slow in doing anything) and said slowly, "You're here."
It was such a kind tone, I didn't think about it, I screamed, stood up and ran forward, catching up with the family in front of me......
It was the first time I had entered that mysterious place, and if it weren't for my great-grandmother, I don't think I would ever go there in my life. When I came home in the evening, I was very tired, and I didn't tell my parents about the scene just in the morning, because I didn't talk to them much, and besides, I would be laughed at when I said it, hehe.
Today, because I was too nervous, I didn't look at the facilities inside, in fact, the scenery inside is very beautiful, and often family members come to take patients to take a walk in it, especially a garden in the central area, there is a fairly large pond in the garden, this pond is called the central lake, it is said that there are young people who come here inexplicably to talk about love. This hospital is not only famous in the local area, but also the patients who live in it come from all over the world.
Grandma moved in smoothly, and the house suddenly became so deserted. Lying on the sofa alone, a little lost, suddenly the phone rang, it was my grandmother calling, and she said kindly on the phone: "Ruolan, don't answer the phone later"
"Why? Who's going to call me later? ”
"It's good if you don't take it."
"No, you tell me why, hehe"
"Hear me! Don't pick it up! ”。 The last sentence was actually roared, a heart-rending roar!
I woke up suddenly, it turned out that I was lying on the sofa asleep, I obviously felt my heart beating faster, and there seemed to be the words of my grandmother in my ears, "Did you hear it!" Don't pick it up! ”。 Take a deep breath to calm yourself down, and suddenly, there is a harsh ringtone, and the music on my phone is my favorite song, but it sounds so harsh at the moment! Grabbed the phone and saw that it was Yan'er's, my neighbor and girlfriend, hey, scared me to death, why did you call me at this time.
Just about to pick it up, I suddenly remembered the roar of my grandmother in my dream: "If you hear it, don't answer it", and his fingers froze at the answer button. But the phone kept ringing...... But of course, after only a few seconds of pause, I picked it up, and it looks like I'm going to see a psychiatrist, how to fight a dream.
"Ruolan, my grades are out, in, hahaha, I can be in the same school with you, great, you must have entered, right?"
"The results are out? I'll check it right away, and you'll come to my house right now, right away! ”
"Okay, one minute!"
I hung up the phone and couldn't help the excitement in my heart, I was a regular art student since I was a child, and Yan'er was tired of being with me since I was a child, naturally "exposed to it", and also loved painting, when she arrived in high school, she resolutely decided to take the art exam, and left home halfway to learn to paint, so she didn't have to worry about cultural classes, that is, whether the professional score can pass a bit mysterious. And now that I can finally enter that art school, I must be happy.
Of course, I was as Yan'er said, I must have entered, just checked, the doorbell rang, and as soon as the door was opened, Yan'er hugged me.
Yan'er said badly: "Hehe, this time I'm going to visit your grandmother, I found that she is not an ordinary person."
Why didn't Yan'er talk about school when she came in, but the first thing she said was my grandmother? Of course she knew about the last time she went to the psychiatric hospital, huh...... She has always been unrestrained, and she won't go into that kind of place to see, but why is grandma not an ordinary person? But that's right, of course, I am not an ordinary person when I enter that hospital, and I can also say that I am not a normal person......
I deliberately got angry and said, "Grandma is not a normal person, what do you mean, hum"
Yan'er hugged me and coquettishly: "I didn't mean that, what I said was, it's not an ordinary person, you take me there, you'll know when you go, besides, I should also go to see her."
