Chapter 115 - Infant (17)
The fool couldn't say anything.
Covered by a white sheet, he was pushed out of the intensive care unit of the burn unit, and met with Chang Tai in the hallway with Xing Ruyi, who had arrived.
"Ever, huh? Sorry, people don't work anymore. ”
"Didn't you say that the injury was not serious?"
"It's not heavy, according to normal circumstances, he can survive." The director of the burn department was also a little puzzled: "But just last night, he suddenly went crazy and began to pester, including the hanging needles given to him, the instruments used, and the wounds that had been wrapped on his body. This burn patient has a common characteristic with those with cancer, that is, they are particularly afraid of complications. The people who were still saved would have aggravated their condition because of this complication that came suddenly, and then there would be no more. ”
"What does the director mean that he died of complications after burns?"
"That's basically what it means, but there's something confusing."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at it." The director said, grabbing the corner of the white sheet: "I have also worked in the burn department for twenty years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a strange complication. Perhaps, this is not a complication, but the death is a little strange. ”
Beneath the sheet was a burned patient curled up in the shape of a baby, most of his skin was wrapped in bandages, and a small part of the burns could be seen where he broke free.
"It's the first time we've seen a patient curl himself up in this position before he dies, as if he was going back to his mother's body. It's weird, it's weird. In life, we also have occasional burns, such as being smoked by water vapor on our fingers when cooking, or splashing hot oil on our bodies, but just a little burn is enough for us to be uncomfortable for a day or two, and that kind of pain is a continuous pain. This patient, although the burns are not deep, the area is quite large. This pain, combined with these bandages on the outside, makes it particularly difficult to shrink yourself to this level. Of course, I haven't tried it myself, I'm just judging it based on my years of experience in the industry. ”
"Did he say anything or do anything strange before he died?"
"Strange moves?" The director pondered for a moment: "This patient doesn't seem to have a clear mind, and when we were admitting him, his family came to explain it. During the whole treatment process, nothing special was found. Oh, by the way, last night, while he was making a fuss, we noticed that he had a particularly frightened expression on his face, and that his eyes were always looking in one place. The corner, the one behind his hospital room, was there, but there was nothing. ”
"Can I go to the hospital room and have a look?" Xing Ruyi asked.
The director glanced at the cat she was holding in her arms and nodded reluctantly.
Xing Ruyi knew what the director meant, turned around, and put the kitten on the table of the nurse's table. The kitten gave her a lazy look, and then lay there still. The director's expression on his face changed slightly, and he pointed to the ward for Xing Ruyi, and then instructed people to push the fool to the morgue of the hospital, wait for the family to come and sign, and then send him to the funeral home.
Pushing open the door of the ward, Xing Ruyi immediately felt a breath of death, which was left behind after the death of the fool.
"Do you know something?" Chang Tai followed in.
Xing Ruyi looked at the corner behind the bed, where a fool was squatting.
"Does Brother Chang know rhino horns?"
"Rhino horn? Rhinoceros horns? ”
"Brother Chang, you're so cute, just go to -m when you read." Xing Ruyi turned around and smiled, and said to Chang Tai: "There is such a sentence in Li Yi's "Miscellaneous Songs":
The rhino candle river line saw ghosts and gods, and the wooden people sang and danced. ”
Chang Tai frowned and did not speak.
Xing Ruyi said: "There is a story in the Book of Jin, the protagonist of the story is called Wen Qiao, and he is a very capable official. After the death of the first emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government discussed and wanted this Wen Qiao to support the new emperor, but Wen Qiao refused. His reason was very simple, because the first emperor could not trust him, and he had already handed over the power of supporting the government to another official named Wang Dao. Worried that if he continued to stay in the DPRK, he would give birth to more rights and wrongs, Wen Qiao took the initiative to resign, planning to return to his ancestral hometown of Jiangzhou.
When Wen Qiao walked to a place called Niu Zhuji, he saw that the water was unfathomable, so he couldn't help but ask his subordinates. The people said that there were rumors in this place that the water was deep because they were worried that the people would see the monsters hiding under the water. Wen Qiao didn't believe it, and thought it was absurd, so he ordered someone to light the rhino horn and shine it on the water.
At first, the water was calm, but after a while, a monster came to put out the fire. What surprised Wen Qiao even more was that he saw many people walking underwater in various clothes. Those people, whether green-faced, white-faced, or red-faced, wanted the legendary spirits, not the living. Wen Qiao was frightened and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to row away.
The next night, Wen Qiao dreamed that a man dressed in red said to him: I am different from you, and we do not disturb each other, why do you come to take care of us?
Wen Qiao didn't know how to explain it?
If you say you're curious, you just want to see it.
Before he could explain, the man in red was gone.
When he woke up in the early morning, Wen Qiao only felt that he had a terrible toothache, so he ordered someone to find a doctor to come over and pull out this painful tooth.
This story tells us two things.
The first one, lighting the rhino horn, can illuminate the ghosts and gods.
Second, don't just ask a private doctor to extract a tooth, this technique will be fatal. ”
"Does this story have anything to do with the fact that we're standing in this room now?"
"Of course there is." Xing Ruyi stretched out his right hand and shook it: "Have you seen my bracelet?" made of rhino horn. ”
Rhino horn bracelets?
This taste is really special.
Before Chang Tai could say this, Xing Ruyi had already taken off a rhino horn, lit it, and put it on the balcony. The horns burned, the smoke came out, and through the thin smoke, he actually saw the fool who had just been pushed away nesting in the corner and crying.
"He-"
"That's right, that's what you think." Xing Ruyi glanced at the burning rhino horn: "There is not much time, if you want to ask anything, Brother Chang, just ask quickly." When the horn is burned, you won't be able to ask. Oh, by the way, if a nurse comes over later, please admit that you can't help but smoke in the ward. You're so handsome, the nurses shouldn't be embarrassed by you. ”
Chang Tai shook the corners of his mouth and walked towards the fool.
"Can you hear me?"
The fool raised his head and looked at Chang Tai with wary eyes.
"I'm a police officer, and I'm here to catch bad guys." Chang Tai showed his police ID card: "Are you hiding here because you're afraid of bad guys?" ”
"Sister...... ......The fool watched him shrink into a ball, and kept muttering, "Sister...... Fire ......"
"Where's my sister? My sister asked you to light the fire, right? Chang Tai asked patiently as much as possible.
A fool, even if he dies, his soul is still a fool. He had to be very patient before he could get the information he wanted.
"Sister...... Fire ......" the fool still repeats those three words.
"Where's my sister?" Chang Tai took a deep breath and asked the second question.
The fool dilated his pupils and then vanished.
Chang Tai turned his head to look at the windowsill, the rhino horn was still burning, but the fool was gone.
"Don't look for it, he ran away, scared away by you."
"Scared away by me?" Tsung-tae stood up.
"I was wrong, not scared away by you, but by the question you just asked." Xing Ruyi picked up the rhino horn that was still burning, and blew it lightly with his mouth, and the spark of the rhino horn was extinguished: "There is still so little left, it's a pity to throw it away, it's a waste." Brother Chang, do you want to go to the fire scene to take pictures again, maybe you will see the little girl in the red dress that the fool said. ”
Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi returned to the community.
Compared with before, the community at this time seems much cleaner. Although there were still some people downstairs who stopped to watch, the discussion was much quieter. In the surprised expressions of those onlookers, Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi went directly to Xu Ling's ex-wife's house.
After lighting the rhino horn, I saw a little girl in a red dress, holding a dilapidated doll sitting on the couch that had been badly burned. She was wearing white socks and small red leather shoes, and she sat on the sofa with an innocent look and swayed her feet.
"I've seen you, you're the shopkeeper in the rouge shop." The little girl curled the corners of her lips and smiled at Xing Ruyi.
"I've seen you too, you're a niuniu." Xing Ruyi walked to the sofa and sat down like a little girl: "It's done, why don't you leave?" ”
"I can't go." Niu Niu played with the old doll in her hand and said, "Mom won't let Niu Niu go." ”
"Does that Niu Niu want to leave herself?"
"I used to think about it, but now I don't want to." The little girl smiled: "The shopkeeper knows, Niuniu's time is up, Niuniu can't leave." ”
"Niuniu can go, as long as Niuniu wants to." Xing Ruyi looked at the charred wall: "Niuniu is trapped in that wall, right?" Mom told Niuniu that as long as Niuniu helped her do this, she could take Niuniu away. But Niuniu's mother broke her trust, and she couldn't come again. Niuniu thinks that her mother is lying to Niuniu, right? ”
"She's always been good at lying, and these chicks know it. But even if she knows, what can she do, she is Niuniu's mother, and Niuniu can't help but listen to her mother. Niuniu is a good child, and Niuniu is a good child who listens to her mother. Mom said that only if Niuniu is obedient, Niuniu can be with her mother. ”
"How does this kid talk upside down?"
"Coupled with the time Niuniu spent in Anning's belly, she is not yet five years old. You can expect a five-year-old, unparented ghost child to speak in an organized manner. Xing Ruyi pointed to the TV wall opposite the sofa: "I've seen it, only this TV wall in the whole house has been redecorated." If An Ning wanted to kill Xu Ling's ex-wife, if Niuniu was really trapped here by her, then she must have hidden Niuniu in that wall. ”
