The cold and unsettling light, the faint sound of the gowns rubbing; On the bed next to her, the mother slept peacefully, the tiny infusion tube extending up from under the quilt, and the potion being delivered downward.

This is Yu's mother's second bottle of liquid, and there are two bottles in the nurse's office. Yu's mother is sick, although she looks energetic on weekdays, but after all, she has a young demeanor and an old medical care.

Cervical spondylosis, a common disease across age groups, and the popularity of mobile phones and computers, in addition to convenient communication and efficient work, bring us addiction and dependence.

Yu's mother is cervical spondylosis, but she is very serious, and there are many causes in general, but the main ones are also caused by bowing her head for a long time and sitting improperly, that is to say, it is caused by playing with mobile phones and looking at computers for a long time.

During the high incidence of the flu, Yu Xiaochuan spent the New Year and used the remaining annual leave, thinking about going home for a reunion, after all, he has been reluctant to contact him for more than a year.

It's only been a few days since I got home, and now just after the sixth day of the new year, my mother suddenly relapsed from her old illness.

The medicine in the bottle was unbelievably slow, as if everything was still, and only time and Yu Xiaochuan himself were moving.

Yu Xiaochuan, who had been doing it for more than three hours, was uncomfortable with backache, and saw that his mother was asleep, and there was still most of the medicine in the medicine bottle, so he got up and walked to the corridor to move his muscles and bones.

The hospital is always like this, the lights are not so bright, and various novels have depicted it as godlike, and Ogawa's heart is always hairy.

The door at the end of the corridor was closed, and Ogawa stood in front of it, looking through the window, it was pitch black outside, dotted with sporadic red emergency lights and green safety lanes.

Just as Yu Xiaochuan was about to turn around and go back, suddenly, an emergency light outside the window flashed.

This is not unusual, the emergency lights should not flicker, let alone suddenly go out once, it should be something blocking the transmission route of the light.

Yu Xiaochuan fixed his eyes, this is very similar to the plot of a horror novel. Although Yu Xiaochuan was intimidated, his strong curiosity told him that if there was really a ghost, it would be worth it to die if he saw it.

Unscrewed the handle in front of him, and the door opened slowly; It's quiet, it's still quiet, but there's no sensor light.

Then the light of the emergency lights and the safe passage, Yu Xiaochuan struggled in the dark corridor, his hands already wet with sweat and his eyes flashing.

At this moment, the elevator that had been out of service suddenly rang.

"Ding~" is the sound of the elevator stopping, and the bright red number on the side reads "4", which is the floor where Yu Xiaochuan is located.

The door slowly opened, Yu Xiaochuan's scalp was numb, and his pupils had narrowed to the extreme.

"Come, let go." An uncle pushing a cleaning cart gestured kindly to Yu Xiaochuan.

Yu Xiaochuan swallowed his heart again, but the elevator has been deactivated, and only the two seats in the inpatient department are still running at night.

Yu Xiaochuan's heart had reached the limit of being afraid, and he turned around and wanted to go back.

At this time, Yu Xiaochuan leaned back suddenly. The uncle just now was watching him not far behind him. It is said that it is not certain to look at it, it is pitch black, and it is only felt from the outline in the faint light, it seems that the uncle's head is facing the direction of Yu Xiaochuan, and the body is facing the direction of ninety degrees, and the head and body are vertical.

Such a form can't help but make people frightened, how can a person's neck be bent to such an extent.

Yu Xiaochuan didn't want to think about anything now, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he lowered his head and walked quickly towards the door where he came; He didn't dare to run, if the uncle was really not human, then if he ran away, the uncle would definitely catch up and ask for his life; If the uncle is a human being, he will definitely laugh at himself when he sees such a panic; There is no way to be conservative, not to mention that his legs have already weakened with fright, and he has no strength to run.

Seeing that he was about to reach the door, but the base seemed to be stretched at equal speed, no matter how Yu Xiaochuan ran, he was still in place, accelerating, decelerating, always that distance.

"Young man, curiosity kills cats." The uncle stood in the back.

Yu Xiaochuan turned his head suddenly, a distorted, grinning but jagged old face was very close, and he didn't feel his breathing.

There was a moment of silence, like deafness in both ears, not hearing at all.

"Look at the creation!" The uncle patted Yu Xiaochuan's face, turned around and disappeared.

After a moment, Yu Xiaochuan came to his senses. Lying on the ground and fainting?

Looking around, I seemed to be able to hear, I heard the sound of electricity, and I heard the laughter of the nurse on the other end of the door.

Run, Yu Xiaochuan is full of energy.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open. The cold and unsettling light was so bright at this time, and everything around it was so familiar, giving an endless sense of security.

The heart is about to land;

What is it? A force lifted the heart that was about to land again.

Overly familiar and safe often mask strangeness and unease.

Originally, this was supposed to be the westernmost part of the entire hospital, and there was no longer a door; In front of him, there is another iron door, and the other end of the door is still a dark corridor.

Faintly visible, the elevator lights were on.

Yu Xiaochuan came to ward 304, and Yu's mother was inside, sleeping peacefully, as before leaving.

Gently, push open the door of the ward.

Yu Xiaochuan's front foot had just stepped over the door frame, and everything in front of him had completely changed.

The breeze blows, holding the red maple leaves, lingering in the air; In front of you is a maple forest where you can't see the edge, let alone the sun and the moon; The maple trees stand neatly on both sides, stepping on the brown "carpet", not stingy, sprinkled with the delicate sun.

Yu Xiaochuan was stunned, this sudden comfort and comfort was followed by panic and fear. "Strayed into the depths of the maple forest", lost his eyes, and lost his way back.

Yu's mother is still lying in the hospital bed, but she is in a different place at the moment, and she doesn't know how to return.

Time seemed to slow down, and the process of Yu Xiaochuan's left foot stepping in from behind was slowed down for a long time, and it was more than a minute, just in the air, leisurely drawing arcs.

When it landed, everything was in place, it was still that room, and Yu's mother was still lying there.

Landed, everything was renewed, exactly the same room, exactly the same mother lying in the same position.

Stepping over, perhaps, is not just a door.
