Xu Jiarui was sent to the emergency room, and after more than an hour of resuscitation, she still did not wake up and was sent to the observation ward. The doctor described that the patient's EEG was disorganized, and there were some normal physiological reactions, which he thought was in a vegetative state. Since Xu Jiarui's parents have not yet arrived in Yandu, they cannot determine the next step. Xiahouling had no choice but to sit beside Xu Jiarui's bedside and wait patiently, while Xiahouling walked out of the ward to call Xun Yu.

Xia Houdun first held the phone and listened patiently for a while, then laughed a few times, and said, "Okay, I know, let's talk about it at the meeting another day", then hung up the phone and walked into the ward.

Seeing that Xiahou Ling was gone today, Xiahou Ling looked at him expectantly and asked, "Is there a way?" ”

Xiahoudun shook his head, took out the small bottle containing the Mind Eater, and replied, "What Xun Yu said is probably to find the cause of the incident accurately, and then let the Heart Eater be resolved by the solution to the cause. There is no other way. Moreover, if the cause of the incident or the solution is not accurate enough, it is likely to cause the carrier to be deranged, and it can no longer be solved. ”

"What does it mean to be 'resolved by a solution'?" Xiahou Ling looked at Xiahoudun with a confused expression.

Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, so I can only find a way to find the cause of the appearance of the mind eater first." ”

Xiahou Ling lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "What will be the reason?" ”

"I also asked Xun Yu just now," Xiahoudun looked at Xiahou Ling and said, "Generally speaking, the mind eater that appears due to emotional injury will take a revenge posture on its host, that is, it will attract the opposite sex more than usual, become more open, or have revenge on the previous object. But neither what you said, nor what I have observed, there is no such phenomenon. ”

"Could it be because of her parents?" Xiahou Ling asked.

"Now look, it should be." Xiahoudun sighed and said helplessly, "It seems that we have to wait for her parents to come." ”

"Yes." Xiahou Ling nodded, turned her eyes to the unconscious Xu Jiarui again, and stopped making a sound.

Xia Houdun glanced at his watch and found that he had been tossing for a long time, and it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, so he asked again: "What time did you call her parents?" ”

Xiahou Ling thought for a while and replied, "It's less than ten o'clock." ”

Xiahoudun glanced at his watch again, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Wait a little longer, there are many flights in Feiyandu, it should be soon." ”

The sentence "It should be soon" really made Xiahoudun "slap himself in the face", Xu Jiarui's parents, who had not shown up for a long time, made Xiahoudun a little worried that he would miss the best time to solve the problem, he wanted Xiaoling to go home first, but Xiahouling insisted on waiting. Soon waited until it was dark, Xiahoudun and Xiahouling took turns to have dinner, but Xu's parents did not arrive; Xiahoudun called Chen Xuan and said that he couldn't accompany her at night, so the video lasted for an hour, but Xu's parents didn't arrive; Xiahoudun called Xiahouyuan again and told him about the situation for more than half an hour, but Xu's parents did not arrive; After nine o'clock, when the hospital notified the visitors to leave, Xu's parents still did not arrive. During the interim, Xiahou Ling kept calling, but no one answered.

The brother and sister had no choice but to leave the inpatient building and sit on a chair at the entrance of the building. Xiahoudun took off his windbreaker, draped it on his sister's body, and hugged her in his arms, worried that she would catch a cold.

At eleven o'clock, two figures, a man and a woman, began to slowly approach the brother and sister.

"Is that Xu Jiarui's parents?" Xiahoudun pointed to the two figures and asked Xiahou Ling.

Xiahou Ling squinted, looked at it, and replied, "It seems that I have only met once." ”

Seeing that the two figures were getting closer and closer, Xiahoudun stood up and asked, "May I ask if it is Xu Jiarui's parents?" ”

"Who could we be?" The middle-aged woman, who should be Xu Jiarui's mother, spoke, "Call us, I don't know how to pick me up at the train station, I have no conscience!" ”

When Xiahoudun heard such impolite words, he was a little angry in his heart. However, before he could speak, Xiahou Ling beside him stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, Xiaorui is unconscious, we have to take care of her here." ”

"And the face to say!" Xu Jiarui's father slapped Xiahou Ling in the face, "I think you made Xu Jiarui unconscious, right?" ”

Xiahou Ling was frightened by this sudden slap, she covered her face, she didn't know how to fight back, she just said deliciously: "It's not me." ”

"What are you doing!" Xiahoudun stepped forward to protect his sister, grabbed Xu's father's collar and shouted.

"What are you doing?" Father Xu was frightened by Xiahoudun's voice, "You let me go." ”

And Xu Mu on the side was stuck in her waist and shouted: "Why are you still doing it!" Loosen up! No big, no small! ”

Xu's parents' behavior made Xiahoudun's chest burst into flames, he often went to Ningdu on business trips, knowing that there was a good humanistic style and famous families since ancient times, so he naturally thought that Xu Jiarui's parents were well-informed people, and it should be good for eliminating the mind-eating ghosts, but he didn't expect to meet such two people, and his heart was disappointed and angry. He glared at Xu's mother, but after thinking about it, now is not the time to quarrel, it is still important to save people, and it is not too late to settle the account after the matter is dealt with, he let go of Xu's father's collar, glared at Xu's father angrily, and asked: "Let me ask you, what did you say to your daughter last time you came to Yandu?" ”

"Yo, young people nowadays are very rude." Xu Mu glanced at Xiahoudun and did not answer.

"What did you say?" Father Xu straightened his collar, "Do you want to be nosy?" ”

"Now the situation is urgent, her life is in danger at any time!" Xiahoudun looked at Xu Jiarui's parents, and his tone softened, "You have to tell me what you said and did, so that I could save her." ”

"What else can you say?" Seeing that Xiahoudun was no longer angry, Father Xu also suppressed his voice: "She found a poor boy to be her boyfriend, can I ignore her?" What dance team did I go to, and I paid her to go to college, did I send her to play? ”

"Then it looks like you're the problem!" After Xia Houdun finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Xia Hou Ling's beaten face, which was not particularly red, so he asked Xia Hou Ling softly: "Does it hurt?" Dizziness? ”

Xiahou Ling lowered her head, with tears in her eyes, and did not speak, but shook her head.

"What can we do wrong?" Mother Xu suddenly shouted: "I gave birth to her and raised her, how much effort it took me, it's all money, you know?" Just say that she can't do two sentences, something. ”

Father Xu also came up and said: "If you raise a cat or a dog, you still know how to repay your kindness." It's good for her to find such a poor man, no house and no car, when will we be able to live a good life? Tell me about love! ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, he angrily reprimanded: "Do you raise your daughter as a cat or dog? ”

"I want you to take care of it!" Father Xu pushed Xiahoudun and walked towards the door of the inpatient building, "Where is Xu Jiarui?" I want to see her! ”

"What are you yelling about!" Xiahoudun grabbed Xu's father back, "This is the observation area, it needs to be quiet!" ”

"Oh, is there any truth to this?" Mother Xu was on the side, looking Xiahoudun up and down, with an unconvinced expression, and said, "I'm going to find my daughter, what's the matter with others?" ”

"Do you know she's your daughter?" Xiahoudun looked at Mother Xu and had a feeling of playing the piano to the cow, "Then do you know that she is dying now, ah?" ”

"Yo yo yo nosy?" Mother Xu intervened, looked at Xiahoudun with contempt, and said, "What does it matter to you whether my daughter dies or not?" ”

"You kid haven't read, have you?" Father Xu echoed: "In ancient times, children were the property of their parents, this is an ancient rite, do you know? Our possessions, how we want to use them, how we want to spend them, hey, it's all our own business. You see people spending money on the street, do you have to care? Today's young people are becoming less and less polite. ”

"Bastard logic!" Xiahoudun was so angry with these two that he was speechless for a while, so he had to roar angrily.

"Quick! Fast! While they were arguing, several nurses pushed a bed cart out of the observation room and went to the emergency room. A doctor in a white coat and glasses who looked older walked up to Xiahoudun and asked, "Do any of you know Xu Jiarui?" Is anyone Xu Jiarui's family member? ”

"I am and I am!" Father Xu replied.

The doctor glanced at Father Xu and said, "Come with me." ”

After the doctor finished speaking, he left, Xu's father and mother followed, and Xiahoudun also signaled Xiahouling to follow.

Several people came to the door of the emergency room, watched the bed cart being pushed in, the doctor signaled them not to make a loud noise, and walked up to Xu's father and said, "You are Xu Jiarui's family, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm her dad." Father Xu replied.

"The patient's condition is not optimistic, and the brainstem ischemia is very serious." The doctor pushed his glasses and said: "The patient is not only at risk of brain death at any time, but also has no physical function, and it is difficult to hold on. How the hell did you get it! ”

"Doctor, I don't understand what you're saying, how can I say that I made it?" Father Xu had a very unhappy expression on his face.

"I don't want to argue with you right now, okay?" When the doctor heard Xu's father say this, he was also a little unhappy, "Anyway, your daughter, you know it yourself, go and pay the deposit first." ”

"What kind of deposit?" Mother Xu asked on the side.

The doctor was just about to leave, but he turned around and came back and said, "You have to pay the deposit for the rescue, and the nurse will bring you the bill later." ”

"How much does that cost?" Father Xu was a little anxious, and his hands were trembling all the time.

The doctor was a little impatient, "I said that the bill will be brought in a while, maybe 20,000, maybe 30,000." With that, the doctor went into the emergency room.

"Thirty thousand!" Mother Xu suddenly choked up, she sobbed and looked at Father Xu, and her expression became very sad for a while.

Father Xu shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "Other people's families all know how to marry a rich man and send money to their mother's family, but this bullshit thing in our family only knows how to spend money." ”

"Oops!" At this moment, Xiahou Ling suddenly screamed.

Xiahoudun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiahou Ling pointed to the inner pocket of Xiahoudun's windbreaker draped on her body, and said a little nervously: "It seems to be moving." ”

After hearing this, Xiahoudun hurriedly stepped forward and took out the small bottle containing the mind eater in the pocket of his windbreaker. I saw the small ball of light in the bottle scurrying back and forth there, making the bottle shake and shake. Seeing this, Xiahoudun showed an expression of sudden realization, said, "I understand, I understand", patted Xu's father on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, you listen to me first." ”

"What else are you going to say!" Father Xu shook his hand and opened Xiahoudun's hand.

"Listen!" Xiahoudun shouted out, but suddenly remembered that it was at the door of the emergency room, and he said softly: "It doesn't matter if it's 20,000 or 30,000, I can go out for you." But you have to promise me one thing. ”

When Xu Mu heard this, her eyes lit up, "Really? Can you pay? ”

"What do you want us to promise you?" Father Xu asked in a low voice with a skeptical attitude.

"I'll pay, I'll say it all." Xiahoudun's emotions were a little excited, and he suddenly understood the treatment of the mind eater, and also understood what Xun Yu said. The reason why Xu Jiarui's heart has a heart-eating ghost is precisely because her parents lack love for her on weekdays and don't really care about her feelings, which makes her disappointed and depressed and negative. And just now, Xu's parents' words were so extreme, which made the activities of the mind eater more active. Understanding this, Xiahoudun, who saw hope, finally showed a smile, and he said to Xu's parents: "I want you to say your love for Xu Jiarui to this bottle, you have to say that you love her, you actually really care about her, those are just words that you said in a moment of confusion." You have to promise, give her freedom, let her fall in love freely, let her do whatever she wants, any dance team, painting group, you can participate. You say! ”

"Fuck you! You know a! Father Xu stared at Xiahoudun and said viciously: "I gave her freedom, she went to find a poor man to marry, and she didn't take the postgraduate examination, so she knew what kind of bullshit dance she practiced, why should I save her?" ”

"What do you mean?" A trace of Xiahoudun's original smile was gone, and he was completely blinded by the words of the person in front of him.

"You are very bad-eyed," Xu Mu also said on the side, "save her, she should reflect on it, she owes us too much." It's hard to survive, so you should work harder, or you'll die! ”

Xiahoudun was completely speechless, he took two steps back, and looked down at the small glass bottle in his hand. I saw that the small ball of light first became more active trying to break free from the bottle, then gradually stopped, then did not move, and then slowly disappeared.

"Hey!" Xiahoudun took a long breath and squatted on the ground, tears suddenly flowed down. He may not understand what it feels like to love his father and mother, and he doesn't know how hurtful the words Xu Jiarui's parents said just now, but he knows that a young life has ended like this, and the original hope has disappeared like this.

Xiahou Ling also saw the situation in the bottle, she also knew what it meant, she saw Xiahoudun so sad, tears also flowed, she squatted beside Xiahoudun to comfort him, "Brother, don't be sad." ”

Xu's father and mother looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, "Why are you still crying?" ”

"Xiaoling, let's go home!" Xiahoudun wiped his tears, stood up by himself, and helped Xiahouling up. He put away the empty bottle that had no ball of light, and then glared at Xu's father and mother angrily, and said, "This is as you wish!" ”

With that, he left the hospital with Xiaoling.
