Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gifts and Entanglements
It may be due to the fact that the king pigeon dug pits and dug soil in the morning, flew the eaves and walked the wall, he was too busy, after lunch, he only picked up one emergency patient, and the number on the soul card became "wanton three", and he had nothing else to do except run two transfer missions in the afternoon.
On average, the king pigeon needs to save three souls a day and add three numbers to the soul suppression card in order to complete his mission and win the bet within three years.
However, in less than a month, the king pigeon has rarely been able to reach the standard figure of three souls saved per day.
This is very distressing for the king pigeon. The night shift in the next few days is only a month, and after the night shift, the day shift becomes eight hours.
Although the last four hours of the first 12-hour class are generally spent studying, and there will be few opportunities to get out of the car, but few does not mean that there is none.
After the normal eight hours of work, it means that the king pigeon will have less time to save people and will get fewer figures.
Moreover, because of the announcement in the underworld brought by Void Purple to the king pigeon last time, the ability to fight between the king pigeon and the god of death has been greatly reduced, although there was no confrontation ability before.
Thinking about these things, Wang Ge changed out of his uniform, and invited Shen Hui to dinner in the evening, although the two of them are not a couple, this meal is not a formal date, and the clothes are still neatly dressed, so as not to embarrass Shen Hui.
After punching the card, Wang Ge glanced at his mobile phone, the time was 8:05 in the evening, he honestly handed over the key, and said hello to Sun Chengde, the captain of the team who was sitting in the office and filling out some paperwork, and then left.
Sun Chengde touched his half-bald head with a smile, thinking that the psychological state of the king pigeon today is not very good, and it is indeed time to find a time to talk to him.
Wang Ge walked into the emergency hall as agreed, came to the nurse's station, and waited for Shen Hui here.
Shen Hui saw him come to the nurse's station and immediately got out of the corner of the corridor. "It's pretty punctual. ”
The king pigeon looked at Shen Hui. "Sisters, aren't you going to dinner? Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
Shen Hui was still wearing a nurse's uniform, and even the movements of walking around the corner had become slow, it seemed that she was very tired after a day's work, and she had worked an extra few hours.
"It's about your gift, a good gift for you, come with me. Shen Hui said mysteriously.
"The gift is in this hospital?" Wang Ge said strangely, watching Shen Hui walk in front without looking back, and hurriedly followed behind her.
One after the other, the two of them passed through the corridor through the outpatient hall, which was no longer busy after work, and went out through the side door of the outpatient hall and through the small park of the hospital to the downstairs of the inpatient building.
The king pigeon is afraid of this place. He'd seen countless deaths here.
What's more, Lan Xin lives here, and the king pigeon doesn't even look at her. It's not that the king pigeon doesn't want to see it, it's that the king pigeon doesn't dare to look at it.
Lan Xin is in a coma, vegetative state, and her parents must be constantly cared for here.
At the beginning of Lan Xin's accident, her mother slapped Wang Ge hard, and her attitude was already obvious - you bastard stay away from my daughter.
And Shen Hui brought the king pigeon here, definitely not to lead him to take a walk. Wang Ge had already faintly thought that Shen Hui's so-called gift should be related to Lan Xin.
The inpatient building is very messy, although it has passed the patient visit period prescribed by the hospital at eight o'clock in the evening, there are still many people in the hall on the first floor, calling, chatting, and just bought daily necessities to bring to the patients.
This made the king pigeon, who was used to seeing the emergency department busy, a little uncomfortable. However, he knew that hospitalized patients were still being treated, and if something happened, the inpatient doctor would play with his life no different from the emergency doctor.
The king pigeon stopped at the gate of the inpatient building and refused to come forward. The rain in the sky has continued from morning to now, and the presence of dark clouds has turned the night sky crimson.
The king pigeon did not carry an umbrella, he was wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, and his sneakers were very worn, and he stood in the rain, letting the raindrops fall on his head, face, and body. The rain was not light, and the clothes were gradually soaking wet.
Outside the gate, a middle-aged woman holding a long-handled umbrella was leaning against the glass door and smoking. The woman is well-dressed, and the umbrella she holds in her hand is also the kind of slightly yellowed oil-paper umbrella, which is very ancient, with a pale yellow neon dress attached to her body, an emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, a skirt fluttering in the wind, and a pair of blue embroidered shoes at her feet, which makes Wang Ge wonder if this person is the heroine who came out of the costume film.
The key problem is that such an ancient person has a cigarette in his hand and enjoys smoking.
The king pigeon has confirmed that this woman is a grim reaper, and she must be waiting for the time of someone in this hospital building who has reached the end of his life, because she is constantly looking at the watch on her other wrist.
Otherwise, if you are dressed like this and still smoke here, you will definitely attract onlookers. Only when no one else can see her with an umbrella can explain all this.
Maybe the Grim Reaper is holding something in his hand and what clothes he is wearing, even if it is the smoke after a cigarette is lit, it will become invisible after the umbrella is opened, and it will not be seen by ordinary people. Since the king pigeon can see the death with the umbrella and the cigarette in their hand, it must also be able to smell the smell made by the god of death.
So can ordinary people smell the smoke coming from the Grim Reaper?
In fact, to some extent, within an umbrella, the Grim Reaper and what it touches can become completely invisible, becoming transparent at any time, and not being smelled or heard. But outside of the umbrella, or when the Grim Reaper doesn't have an umbrella, this special ability becomes gone.
That is, the Grim Reaper walks with an umbrella and a cigarette in his mouth, and people cannot see him, his cigarettes and the smoke produced, nor hear his footsteps, and even pass through his body.
However, the smoke from the burning of cigarettes follows the flow of the air, and it may still be gray-blue smoke within the range of the umbrella, but after drifting out of the range of the umbrella, the smoke disperses and is not visible to the naked eye.
However, it is not visible to the naked eye, but the smell is still there.
As long as the king pigeon recalls, or every ordinary person can recall, since childhood, has there ever been a time when no one smoked nearby and could not see the smoke from the burning of cigarettes, but suddenly asked a smell of smoke.
This is most likely the Grim Reaper passing by ordinary people with an umbrella and a cigarette in his mouth.
Wang Ge looked at the female god of death, and thought to himself that there was still a god of death who liked to dress up like Xuzi.
It's no surprise that the Grim Reaper's personality is bizarre. But although this female god of death wears strange clothes, her face is far less delicate and beautiful than that of Xuan Zi, but the clothes can attract the attention of the king pigeon.
Void Purple likes to change clothes, but in fact, the bigger purpose is to approach the dying person in a normal manner. And this Grim Reaper likes to change clothes, but he is holding an umbrella, which is invisible to others, and it may just be that he just wants to satisfy something in his heart.
The female god of death also noticed the abnormality, and looked at the king pigeon strangely, and she sensed that the breath of the young man standing not far away seemed to be a little wrong, a little uncomfortable.
Wang Ge quickly looked away and looked at Shen Hui, but he couldn't be discovered.
Shen Hui noticed that the king pigeon behind him stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong?" everyone has already been brought here by her, if Wang Ge doesn't know what she wants to do, then Shen Hui really has to wonder if Wang Ge's IQ is normal.
"Do you want me to see Lan Xin?" asked Wang Ge.
It's not that Wang Ge doesn't want to see Lan Xin, but he is afraid to face her parents, and there is a Grim Reaper at the door.
There is no way for the king pigeon to pass by the Grim Reaper without looking at the Grim Reaper, and the Soul Suppression card on his body will also make the Grim Reaper notice something unusual. The closer you are, the stronger the sensation becomes. The king pigeon decided to delay a little, and it was estimated that the Grim Reaper would leave after smoking.
"What, don't want to go?" Shen Hui didn't think much about it.
"Her parents must be there. I didn't tell you about that. Well, her parents are very disgusted with me, after all, it happened when she was with me, and I failed to protect her. "Wang Ge actually understands Lan Xin's parents very well, there is such a girl in the family, the pearl in the palm of her heart, something happened like this, she is in a vegetative state, and he is not too much to blame.
In fact, this is not the fault of the king pigeon, and the king pigeon is also working hard to save Lan Xin. In that case, even if you change the god Superman, you can't react.
"Actually, you haven't been to see Lan Xin for so long, I guessed it a long time ago, it's because of her family. So I specifically asked my sister in the Department of Internal Medicine, Lan Xin's parents hired a nurse, and the nurse was here at night. It just so happened that the nurse had something to do tonight, and I told my sister yesterday that she would help take care of it. The caregiver has only been away for an hour, and you now have less than an hour left. You can check her out. Shen Hui said with a smile. "It's all arranged, there will be absolutely no accidents, rest assured. ”
"You ......" Wang Ge swallowed his saliva, he didn't expect Shen Hui to arrange things so thoroughly.
The female Grim Reaper at the entrance of the hospital building had already thrown the cigarette butt in her hand to the ground, stepped on it with the sole of her shoe, and then entered the elevator with an umbrella. The cleaning aunt who worked the night shift continued to carry out her work, and when she saw the cigarette butts on the ground of the inpatient building, she cursed again, I don't know which one was not qualified and dropped here.
"Let's go!" the king pigeon no longer hesitated, this opportunity was too rare.
The two of them came to the ninth floor together, the second inpatient department of internal medicine, the ward where Lan Xin was located was No. 916, the corridor of the ward at this time was very quiet, he came to the door of the room, and the lights inside had been turned off.
The room was a double room, but only one patient was accommodated in Lan Xin. Many family members of vegetative patients choose to take the patient home and wait for the patient to wake up, regain consciousness, and save money on treatment.
For Lan Xin's family, there is no pressure to support the hospitalization medical expenses, and the patients in the hospital can get the most professional escort and treatment, but the doctor has never given Lan Xin's parents any hope.
Shen Hui pushed the door in and said hello to her sisters, and Wang Ge also followed.
"You're her boyfriend?" the nurse in the internal medicine ward blinked, looked at the king, and sighed. "It's not easy to be an ambulance driver in our hospital. It's a pity that something like this happened, I won't bother you, if you have something, just push the door out and call me, Xiaohui and I are outside the door. The little nurse seemed to know that time was pressing, so she didn't stay long after speaking, took Shen Hui's arm out of the ward, and closed the door.
The room was dim, with only two small night lights on and the light from the hallway that filtered through the glass window in the door.
The average patient does not choose to rest now, but for a vegetative person, there is no difference between day and night, and they cannot perceive all this.
The king pigeon walked to the bed, pulled the chair behind him forward, closer to the edge of the bed, and sat down.
Although Lan Xin has been in the hospital for so many days, her hair is not oily at all, her skin is still so fair, her face is lovely, her eyes are closed very loosely, and her long eyelashes seem to be blinking, as if she will open her eyes and talk to Wang Ge in the next second.
The king pigeon knew that this could not happen.
At this time, Lan Xin's soul whose memory was erased has become a god of death, and she doesn't know where in the world she is harvesting other people's souls and completing what she thinks of her mission.
That Grim Reaper shouldn't be called Lan Xin.
Wang Ge stretched out his hand and carefully touched Lan Xin's face lightly, as if he was touching some artwork, for fear of damaging it.
"I ...... I've come to see you. The king pigeon whispered.
The ward was quiet, and he didn't know if Lan Xin could hear him. If Void Purple really left a trace of vitality in Lan Xin's body, then it should be audible.
Although the vegetative person is in a deep coma and has no consciousness, the digestive system is still functioning. Lan Xin has a nasogastric tube inserted in her nostrils to facilitate water and liquid feeding, and with the assistance of nutrient solution, she can ensure the energy to survive.
Despite this, Lan Xin's face was still a whole circle smaller, and the hands exposed outside the quilt also lost their original softness and flesh, and the knuckles were very prominent.
"You've lost a lot of weight. The king pigeon retracted his hand again, and Lan Xin was like a lotus flower in his heart, which could only be watched from a distance and not blasphemed. Sometimes, just by looking at it like this, the king pigeon is very satisfied.
"You know what? I killed you with my life, and I'm going to get you back in three years. Perhaps only when Lan Xin was in a coma did Wang Ge dare to tell her the truth.
Shen Hui outside the door was leaning against the wall and sighed deeply.
"This man is quite infatuated. The little nurse in the internal medicine department said.
"Because of this girl named Lan Xin, Wang Ge chose to be an ambulance driver in our Second Affiliated Hospital of Yaxiang. Shen Hui said with a smile.
She gave Wang Ge a chance to meet Lan Xin, not because of Ma Tianming's assignment, nor did she want to carry out any conspiracy. It's just because she really thinks of the king pigeon as her friend.
There is nothing wrong with doing a favor to a friend and letting a friend meet someone they like, and it doesn't need anything in return, let alone a reason.
However, the thought of what she was doing in the future might be detrimental to the king pigeon made her heart ache.
Ma Tianming once made it clear that if he wants the king pigeon to be obedient and achieve his goal, he may need to control Lan Xin.
Shen Hui is really really afraid that if something really happens in the future, Wang Ge will never see Lan Xin again...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
In the past year, Ma Tianming's coercion, control, and demand for Shen Hui have made Shen Hui unbearable. Although she seems to be happy and carefree every day, she has almost no friends, Gao Yuting is one, but it is useless to tell Gao Yuting about it.
But the appearance of the king pigeon made her see a turn for the better. Although she received Ma Tianming's assignment when she first approached the king pigeon, she found that this friend seemed to be really reliable.
What if you tell the king pigeon all these things, will he help himself?
