Chapter 301: On the Shelf
"Ah, it's really enviable, what a good retirement life."
Mu Chun nodded with a smile and said.
"But recently this period is not very good, I can't sleep well, or I don't want to sleep at one or two o'clock at night, my eyes and ears are as bright as a flashlight, I know what is going on at home, I am afraid of affecting my wife's rest, so I sleep alone in the guest bedroom, the guest bedroom is connected to my studio, sometimes I simply don't sleep at all in the middle of the night, get up to paint, and the things that come out are not bad."
"Can you show me sometime? Your paintings. Mu Chun asked sincerely.
"Is the doctor interested? I have it on my phone now. However, I was more worried about my own situation, how to say, I have lived in this neighborhood for so long, and I don't know that there is already a physical and mental department here, or I overheard it at McDonald's for breakfast.
An old lady who looked to be in her sixties and was in good spirits chatted with other aunts in their fifties who were sitting at McDonald's for a free refill of coffee after grocery shopping, saying that there was a doctor on the fifth floor of Garden Bridge who had cured her of a lifelong pain.
The aunts asked her, what kind of doctor is so powerful, the old lady said that the psychosomatic doctor, I have never heard of it before, the fifth floor of this community hospital, there is a department, only see outpatients, there is no emergency. ”
"Is it like this? I didn't even know that there were other patients who praised our department so much. Mu Chun smiled shyly, held the coffee to his mouth, and finally put it back on the table without taking a sip.
"I have been to many places for a long time because I have been studying abroad for a long time in the early years, but I didn't expect that we already have a physical and mental health department here, and I still have it in a community hospital." Sun Xiangyun was indeed very happy, he seemed to know that his problem was suitable for physical and mental treatment.
"Well, you can't sleep at a little bit, do you? Do you have a habit of drinking coffee or alcohol before bed? ”
Mu Chun asked.
"No, I usually drink coffee after breakfast, except for wine, occasionally drink a small glass during festivals or travel, and don't touch a drop of alcohol at other times, I'm not the kind of artist who needs to go to a restaurant and bar at night to have a drink to create, I'm the kind of person who pays more attention to life and rest, I don't have the two situations you mentioned."
"That's really good, no wonder you don't have a cup of coffee at this time of the afternoon either." Mu Chun said, taking a sip of coffee.
Sun Xiangyun looked at him, and he really didn't want to take a sip at all.
He sat like this, a little irritable, his shoulders shaking from time to time. Obviously, he could put the sketchbook on the table, but Sun Xiangyun held it firmly in his hand, and it always seemed that Mu Chun had a feeling that he couldn't completely relax.
Some people who don't get enough sleep at night do show some unconscious nervousness during the day, inexplicable restlessness, sensitivity to sound, and even outdoor light can make them feel agitated.
Mu Chun continued to ask, "Is that something special that you have encountered recently?" Or is there something that hasn't been feeling well lately? ”
"I can't sleep well, of course my body is not very comfortable, my liver is not very good, and I had my gallbladder removed six years ago." Sun Xiangyun touched his right abdomen, "So, I have always paid more attention to my work and rest, what time to get up, what to eat for breakfast, when to take a walk, how much exercise to do every day, eat some meat dishes at noon, try to be light at night, and keep the habit of going out for a walk after dinner for many years." Then come back to read a book for a while, or chat with my wife, usually I will go to bed at half past nine. I have always had a good sleep, and occasionally I can't sleep, and I fall asleep after more than half an hour at most, and I can't sleep for more than two days in a row, because I don't have the habit of napping, so it's generally easy to fall asleep at night.
"I see, I wanted to prescribe a liver function test sheet for you just now, although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with not being able to sleep, but I still nagged and asked, is it okay?"
"Yes, doctor, you ask." Liu Xiangyun replied.
"Do you have any pain in your body after sleeping at night? Is there any discomfort in the abdomen, especially in the right part of the liver, or does the stomach feel uncomfortable, such as bloating? ”
Sun Xiangyun shook his head, "In the first week, that is, last week, there was nothing uncomfortable, and now many places are not comfortable. Don't hide it from the doctor, I also went to the book city on a Saturday and Sunday, I used to go to the book city to go directly to the sixth floor, I don't know if you know, there are a lot of picture albums on the sixth floor, and there are very few people, most of the guests in the book city are concentrated in the textbooks and teaching aid bookshelves on the fourth floor, and even the classical bookshelves are not much to care about. ”
"Eh, I don't know much about the situation on the sixth floor, I usually go straight to the second floor, which is next to the 'Sakura Japanese' teaching point, next to Starbucks, I don't know if you know, there are science fiction and reasoning bookshelves, and then there are fantasy classes, martial arts, and all kinds of latest, just such a small area, is my favorite, when I was in college, I had little money, and I soaked there all day, what Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", Scott's "Ender's Game", Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", and Keigo Higashino's " Malice", "White Night Walking", "Letter", Murakami Muraki's "Assassination of the Knights", "1Q84", by the way, there are also the super classics John Dixon Carr's "Three Coffins", Agatha Christian's "No One Survives", by the way, there are also Shoji Shimada's "Astrology Killing Magic", "Leaning House Crime", I am familiar with only the literary area on the second floor. ”
Sun Xiangyun was very happy to hear this, although this doctor doesn't go to the sixth floor much, but it is obvious that he is also a person who likes to read, Sun Xiangyun has a good impression of Mu Chun, and the hesitation and worry when he came to the fifth floor at the beginning is also a little less.
"Well, I often go to the second floor, but unfortunately it seems that we haven't met, I like some classic literature, maybe the relationship between the elderly, "Gone with the Wind", "Anna Karenina", "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and our Mo Yan's, Jin Yong's martial arts, I also like them very much, and I have bought many versions at home, and I am very happy to flip through them before going to bed. It's a pity that I haven't met a doctor. ”
After Sun Xiangyun finished speaking, he moved the sketchbook from his lap to the table, his hands were still firmly grasping the edge of the book, Mu Chun stood up and poured a glass of warm pure water for Painter Sun, the painter took it with thanks, put it aside and didn't drink it.
