Chapter 3: Women in a Mental Hospital

"It's not that I don't want to stay here, it's mainly that I still have an alcoholic father and a naughty sister waiting for me at home, hey." Li You didn't know when he started to like to sarcastically mock himself, and he had to bring a sigh when he finished speaking.

"You said your dad was still alive?" Li You No. 1 glanced at Li Xiaohua and then looked at him at the same time.

"Yes, your dad won't be ......" Li You didn't finish his words, he didn't know what kind of person his dad was in this world, and it was not easy to judge too much.

Li You No. 1 sighed, and slowly said that their father passed away last year, although he did not have any great achievements in his life, and he did not leave a mountain of gold and silver, but he has been working hard all his life to support this family. Li You's No. 1 restaurant was exchanged for his father's savings.

Li You leaned back on the rattan chair and raised his eyes to look at the clouds fluttering in the sky, dotted with stars, constantly twinkling in his eyes.

"We're all about the same, half a pound and eight taels, so I really can't trouble you here. Where does your second aunt live, I'll visit you tomorrow. ”

After speaking, Li You didn't get a reply for a long time, looked down at the two brothers, and found that they looked at me, and I looked at yours, it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

Li You leaned in front of the two of them, opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I ......"

Li Xiaohua saw that her brother was spitting and spitting, and hurriedly approached Li You and said, "My second aunt, she is now in a mental hospital. ”

"Do you work in a psychiatric hospital or ......"

"It was detained inside, and in '08, he was arrested for violently wounding people, and later he was found to have a mental illness and transferred to a psychiatric hospital."

Li You originally thought that he might have a chance to go back, but when he heard Li Xiaohua say this, he suddenly became disheartened.

Li You No. 1 looked at his sister, lit another cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "Otherwise, let's take him to see the second aunt tomorrow, it seems that we haven't been to see her since she entered." ”

After the three of them discussed, Li You No. 1 led Li You to the wing, cleaned up casually, and said to him: "You can deal with it here for a night, anyway, it's not cold now, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Seeing Li You No. 1 away, Li You lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep, and finally sat up and pulled out the "black videotape" from under the pillow.

In the dark, the faint green words flashing on it were just like a pair of cat's eyes, and Li You was uncomfortable looking at it.

"When will I be able to recharge? If I can accept it in a day or two, if it is a year or two, or a lifetime, I will never be able to go back? ”

Li You stuffed it back under the pillow, and at the same time blamed himself for why he didn't go to school well in the first place, and his mind was full of anticipation for the second aunt who temporarily gave him a reasonable explanation.

The rain brushed the ground. As soon as the day dawned, Li You was relieved by the two brothers.

"Xiao Li You, get up, let's go early."

"We're generally big, okay?"

Li You got up from the bed, looked at Li You No. 1 and Li Xiaohua who were ready to go in front of him, and felt like he was in a dream for a while. And he is looking at himself and his sister as a bystander.

When I was in the courtyard yesterday, the light was relatively poor, and Li You didn't see the details of Li Xiaohua's face clearly. Now that it's dawn, I can see it through the light outside.

In general, this Li Xiaohua is very similar to her sister in terms of facial features, but it is also slightly different. His devilish sister has a pair of dark circles on her face every time she comes home, and she says what kind of smoky makeup it is. And the Li Xiaohua in front of her is very delicate, without any traces of cosmetics.

And Li You No. 1 seems to be much more cheerful than himself, and his forehead lines are almost invisible, but he has a little long hair that is curly, which is not as good as his own maintenance.

Li You was still waking up, staring at the two of them with his eyes unmoving, and he was still comparing himself in his heart.

"Hey, what's the matter? Hurry up and change my clothes, we have to go, it's time for a traffic jam in a moment. Li You No. 1 stretched out his hand and gestured at Li You's face, trying to make sure that this young man who looked exactly like himself was stupid.

"I'll go out and wait for you first, hurry up." After Li Xiaohua finished speaking, she walked out of the door.

The three of them got on motorbikes and began to shuttle through the alley, and soon they were on the main road.

Before going out, Li You asked the time and found that the time here is about the same as the time at home, since the time of dawn is the same, then the time of the traffic jam must also coincide.

At the third traffic light, the whole road starts to get clogged. Li You did not waste this opportunity to observe, and looked around for a familiar scene, although the result was still very disappointing.

Although this world has nothing to do with the city where I have lived for 20 years, it is all the same. The necessary facilities are also there, and looking at the vehicles parked on the road, although I have never seen the license plate, I judge from the overall feeling that they are all good cars. He concluded in his heart that the economic level of the city was not low.

"What do you see?" Li You No. 1 turned off the motorcycle, glanced back at Li You and asked.

"Your standard of living is good, these cars look quite high-end."

Li You No. 1 shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't say that, in our world, cars are the most worthless things." ”

"Then I didn't look at your whole car." Li Xiaohua unceremoniously dismantled his brother's platform, and then turned back to Li You and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, cars and houses are things that are not easy to get in our world, and the shabby place we live in now is still rented." ”

Li You looked at Li Xiaohua's mood and suddenly felt a little depressed, and hurriedly said: "Hey, I live in a world that is worse than you, and I don't even have a motorcycle." ”

He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable when he saw Li Xiaohua down, maybe he thought it would be nice if this Li Xiaohua was his sister.

When he watched her coil up Li You's hair, he realized how miserable his original life was, no one hurt him, and he often put his hot face on his cold buttocks.

Li You sighed at the same time, thinking in his heart that if their second aunt couldn't think of any solution, it would be better to live here, although he didn't have any skills, but at least he was quite diligent.

"If you want me to say, Xiao Li You, if you can't go back, you can live here. I think you should have worked in a restaurant, so come to my hotel to help first, and then learn some crafts or something. At the very least, we are related by blood, so we can't ignore you. After speaking, Li You No. 1 kicked the motorcycle, hit the gas twice and continued to move forward.

The air in the morning was very fresh, and Li You was almost drunk when he sat in the car, and hurriedly opened his eyes to look at the scenery retreating on both sides. High-rise buildings and pavilions were rushing backwards, reminding him of when his father took him and his sister to fish on a motorcycle.

Forget it, nothing in the world is set in stone.

At the Fallen Leaf City Psychiatric Recuperation Center, a staff member who looks like he will never wake up sits at the window.

"Sign for registration." He handed the form out of the window, Li You took it with a smile, and then handed it to his sister.

"I said, brother, can you take time to learn to write?" Li Xiaohua pouted and took the form, walked to the table next to her and filled it out.

Li You looked at Li You No. 1 in surprise and said, "You can't write?" ”

"Hehe, I have dyslexia, my family conditions are not good, my mother died early, and I didn't study much to work with my father to make money."

After he finished speaking, Li You couldn't help but feel that the world over there was actually okay, and the life of the two brothers and sisters seemed to be a little worse than his own. However, they seem to be living contently.

"Put the bag away, be conscious, put away the sharp and other dangerous items, and if you go in later, the doorman will search your body, don't waste the precious time of public officials." After reading the form, the man in the window handed out a list and asked Li You No. 1 to hand it to the doorman.

"Wait!" Li You and the others were just about to leave, but they were stopped by the man in the window, "You want to visit Li Xianglan?" ”

"That's right. Isn't it written? Li Youyi looked at his sister and replied a little puzzled.

"You're their nephews and nieces, so what are you doing here?" Li You was a little awkward by his staring, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"We're twins, don't you see?" After speaking, Li You No. 1 turned his head and glanced at Li You, then turned back to the man behind the window with a smile and said, "Look, how similar we look!" ”

There was silence in the window for a while, and he said, "There are too many people, only two can go in." ”

"Brother, I'll go in with him." Li Xiaohua saw her brother nodding, and hurriedly pulled Li You over.

After the body search was completed, the doorman looked at the "black videotape" in Li You's hand, and said suspiciously: "There is no machine in it, and it can't be put in." ”

Li You hurriedly said, "This is...... This is my phone. ”

The doorman inspected it again, frowned and returned it to Li You, then opened the iron door and led the two inside.

In the corridor, the unpleasant smell that came out from time to time stimulated Li You's senses, and he thought to himself that he hadn't eaten in the morning, otherwise he would have to vomit.

Occasionally, when passing by a few iron gates, I seem to hear some strange noises coming from inside.

While walking in the corridor, Li You curiously asked Li Xiaohua what type of mental illness her second aunt had and was sent in.

"It seems to be a victim paranoia, and a little violent, I was quite young at the time, and I don't remember it clearly." The two of them talked, walked out of the corridor, and came to the common room.

"Over there, Li Xianglan has just finished taking the medicine, you should be careful not to talk too loudly, it is easy to cause panic among the patients, so call me if you have something." After the doorman had finished speaking, he walked to the bench alone and sat down.

Li You watched him finish speaking with an expressionless face, and wondered if this doorman was also a little wrong now.

And Li Xiaohua beside her didn't pay attention to this, and walked straight to Li Xianglan, who was looking out the window in a daze, and then asked Li You to hurry up.

The woman who was sitting next to Li Xiaohua in a daze, her face was a little yellow, maybe it was because she had been taking medicine for a long time or for other reasons. The neat short hair sets off her delicate facial features flawlessly. If it were a different location, Li You would never have imagined that this woman was now in her forties.

"Second aunt, second aunt? I'm Xiaohua, do you remember me? ”

But no matter how Li Xiaohua asked, her second aunt didn't seem to hear it, staring at the scenery outside the window motionlessly.

Li You took a deep breath, then put the "black videotape" in front of Li Xianglan, and whispered, "Second aunt, do you know what this is?" ”

Her eyes, which had been straight in the air, suddenly blinked, then she glanced at her without moving, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she raised her hand and groped on it, as if she was massaging the "black videotape".

After Li You and Li Xiaohua looked at each other for a while, they continued to watch Li Xianglan's strange movements. After a while, Li Xianglan stopped what she was doing, twisted her head, tilted her neck, stared at Li You with her eyes and shouted:

"Why are you here?"
