Chapter 65: Summoning the Soul
Zhang Yu was busy in the dispensing room, she seemed to think of something happy, and a sweet smile appeared on her face from time to time.
"What does a man giggle at? You just want to go to the movies with that little white face? ”
Zhang Xiaoluo didn't know when, he was leaning against the door frame of the liquid preparation room, smiling and staring at the little nurse who was obviously in a good mood.
"You have to take care of it! Didn't you also chat for a long time in Sister Xiao Mei's office? Also lock the door from the inside! Hum! ”
The taste of vinegar, the taste of Shanxi aged vinegar!
"I'm down to business! How else to raise you! By the way, tomorrow night, Gao Yaoyao's father's funeral, you go with me! Tonight, forget it, you can also go to Nurse Xiao Mei's house with me tonight! Lest I be at ease! ”
After Zhang Xiaoluo finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Yu, for fear that the other party would refuse.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Yu's cheeks turned even redder, and with a soft "um", he picked up the medicine plate, lowered his head and leaned over from Zhang Xiaoluo's side.
When she got off work, Xiao Mei was already waiting for Zhang Xiaoluo at the elevator entrance, and when she saw Zhang Xiaoluo coming over with Zhang Yu, she was slightly stunned, but she didn't think too much, everyone was young, wasn't she like this back then!
"Doctor Zhang, is Xiao Yu also with you?"
Xiao Mei greeted Zhang Xiaoluo with a smile, nodded at Zhang Yu, and then asked.
"Well, some doctors in our hospital have been too idle recently, so I'm relieved to bring her."
Xiao Mei looked at Zhang Yu, who had been bowing her head and silent since she greeted her, reached out and took her hand, and walked towards the special elevator for medical staff.
Downstairs, Xiao Mei did not leave in a hurry, but pulled Zhang Yu into the supermarket in the hospital, bought a big bag of snacks and handed it to Zhang Yu, before calling Zhang Xiaoluo, who had been standing at the door of the supermarket and waiting, to pick up his car.
Xiao Mei and her husband are both from J City, and the husband and wife have a lot of income and have their own house in a prosperous area not far from the attached hospital. Usually the couple and their son who has just entered elementary school live here, and on Sundays they will take the children to the southern suburbs of J City to see the children's grandparents.
Before Zhang Xiaoluo entered the door of Xiao Mei's house, he heard the crying of the children in the room. He pulled Zhang Yu behind him, and then followed Xiao Mei into the room.
The spacious living room was littered with toys, and a woman of about forty was crouching on the edge of the sofa, coaxing the crying little boy lying on the sofa.
"Sister Xia, is Xiao Chu making trouble again?"
Xiao Mei didn't care to put down the bag in her hand, so she walked quickly to the sofa, picked up the crying little boy into her arms, and asked the woman.
"Yes, I sat and ignored me in the morning, and I didn't want toys, and I started crying in the afternoon!"
The woman was Xiao Mei's temporary nanny who was invited to take care of the child, and when she saw Xiao Mei coming back, she said hello to Xiao Mei, nodded to Zhang Xiaoluo and the others who were standing at the door, and left.
Zhang Xiaoluo stepped in, walked around the entire hall, and went to the bedroom, study, and kitchen to take a look, and even the bathroom was not spared. After turning around and returning to the living room, Zhang Xiaoluo looked at the child who was crying in Xiao Mei's arms, and frowned slightly.
The little guy is about five or six years old, and he looks white and chubby. But those eyes were full of dullness, and even when crying, those dull eyes were full of confusion and had no focus.
"Brother......
Zhang Yu behind Zhang Xiaoluo suddenly spoke, but was interrupted by him raising his hand.
Zhang Xiaoluo sat down beside Xiao Mei, reached out and picked up the child's little hand and held it in his hand, the child's little hand was cold, and twitched from time to time, but the crying never stopped, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Xiao Luo, look at this child, can you cure it?"
Xiao Mei hugged her son tightly and looked up at Zhang Xiaoluo, her words a little choked.
"Sister Mei, I remember you said that the child only became like this after staying at his grandparents' house for a night and coming back, right?"
Zhang Xiaoluo didn't find anything unusual in Xiao Mei's house, thinking of what Xiao Mei had told him, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! I took him to his grandparents' house last week, because he was so naughty, and his grandparents finally saw him, so they let him stay there for the night, but who knows......"
"Sister Mei, do you remember what the child was wearing at that time?"
"Clothes? It's the jacket his dad bought for him, and it's still in the child's bedroom, and he's been crying for the past few days, and I haven't had time to wash it! ”
Xiao Mei didn't know why Zhang Xiaoluo asked this, but since Zhang Xiaoluo asked, she tried her best to cooperate.
"Who is the oldest and oldest of your husband's immediate family members who are still alive?"
Zhang Xiaoluo thought about it and asked again.
"Immediate relatives, the oldest and the oldest? It's my father-in-law! ”
Xiao Mei thought for a moment, then raised her head and replied affirmatively.
"Take the kids, bring his jackets, and let's go to your parents-in-law's house!"
Zhang Xiaoluo knew that it might not be realistic to want to engage in ghost teeth tonight, but since he had met it, he helped Xiao Mei solve this matter by the way, they were all colleagues, and his greedy daughter-in-law was still holding the snacks that others bought.
Xiao Mei listened to Zhang Xiaoluo's words, hurriedly picked up the child, took the jacket again, and went downstairs with Zhang Xiaoluo and Zhang Yu to go to her parents-in-law's house.
But when the door is opened, a new problem arises.
Xiao Mei's son hugged Xiao Mei to death, Xiao Mei couldn't drive, and Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't drive......
Looking at Zhang Yu, who threw the snack bag to himself, sat in the driver's seat, and kept throwing contemptuous glances at him, Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't help but hang his head lower!
Damn, you have to learn to drive when you find time!
Xiao Mei's parents-in-law live in the southern suburbs of J City, which is about half an hour's drive. But this point is the rush hour after work, and the traffic congestion in J City is on the top of the country, and Zhang Yu drove for more than two hours to arrive.
Xiao Mei's parents-in-law received a call from their daughter-in-law and were already waiting at the door. The old couple used to work in the railway bureau of J city, and after retirement, they lived in the southern suburbs not far from the station.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Mei's son stopped crying, but his eyes were dull and better, and he ignored anyone's call.
Zhang Xiaoluo asked Xiao Mei and Zhang Yu, as well as Xiao Mei's mother-in-law, who was constantly wiping her tears, into the house to accompany the child, and he called Xiao Mei's father-in-law aside and asked him to take him to re-walk the route that the child took to play that day.
When the two of them came back, it was already past eight o'clock at night, and there was a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five years old standing next to the bed in the room.
"Hello Dr. Zhang, my name is Li Sangmin, ...... you see my son's illness?"
Zhang Xiaoluo knew that this man should be Xiao Mei's husband, but he ended up holding the cigarette handed by the other party behind his ear, signaling the other party not to worry.
"Uncle Li, do you remember what I told you on the way back?"
Zhang Xiaoluo bent down towards Xiao Mei's father-in-law and asked.
"Remember, will I go now?"
Xiao Mei's father-in-law, Li Shiyun, has worked on the railway all his life, and his body is quite tough, so he replied loudly when he heard Zhang Xiaoluo's words.
Zhang Xiaoluo walked around the room again, and finally grabbed a handful of incense ashes in the incense niche under the statue of the God of Wealth behind the door and held it in his hand. Thinking that the people of yin and yang drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and the God of Wealth are two systems, and if you want to take a handful of incense ashes from the God of Wealth, his old man should not blame.
"Well, Uncle Li, go ahead!"
Li Shiyun nodded in response, picked up the jacket that was placed at the head of the bed, went to the refrigerator to get a raw egg, and then walked out of the room, looked in the yard for a while, and finally picked up the broom that swept the floor by the courtyard gate and went out.
After Zhang Xiaoluo waited for Li Shiyun to go out, he also walked out of the door, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhang Yu had also followed, and he couldn't help but stare at him.
"Stay in the house! I'll give you money to buy snacks! ”
After Zhang Xiaoluo finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yu lower his head and returned to the house, so he walked out of the courtyard gate and followed Li Shiyun from a distance. It was dark outside, but fortunately there were street lamps on the street, and Li Shiyun's back with a broom could be vaguely seen.
Li Shiyun walked along the street until he reached the bottom of an abandoned train lane bridge, then put the broom he was carrying on his shoulder on the ground and spread his grandson's small jacket under his armpit on top of the broom.
"Li Chu, go home with grandpa! Li Chu, go home with grandpa! Li Chu, go home with grandpa! ”
Li Shiyun stood under the bridge hole, opened his throat and shouted three times, then bent down and put the egg in his hand on the jacket, pulled up the broom that was dragging on the ground, and carefully and slowly walked towards his house.
Zhang Xiaoluo stood outside the bridge and waved his hand to sprinkle the incense ash in his hand on the road. He took a step back and stood on the side of the road, staring down at the incense ash on the ground.
Li Shiyun ignored Zhang Xiaoluo, but still carefully dragged the broom to prevent the eggs on the jacket from falling. After taking a few steps, he stopped again, threw up his head and shouted.
"Li Chu, go home with grandpa!"
After Li Shiyun dragged the broom across the incense ash line that Zhang Xiaoluo spilled, Zhang Xiaoluo squinted his eyes slightly, staring at a small footprint slowly emerging on the incense ash, and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced under the bridge again, followed Li Shiyun, and slowly left the dark bridge hole.
Not long after Zhang Xiaoluo left, the footprints of an adult suddenly appeared on the incense ash he sprinkled on the ground. It is said that it is an adult's footprints, but in fact, it is not much bigger than the child's footprints, looking at the shape, it is somewhat similar to the embroidered shoes worn by the ladies in ancient times.
Li Shiyun finally shouted all the way, dragging the broom all the way back to the gate of his house. He bowed to the portraits of the door gods pasted on both sides of the courtyard gate, and said in a low voice.
"Master Gate, I'm back with my grandson Li Chu, please open the door!"
After Li Shiyun finished speaking, he dragged the broom into the courtyard, then put the broom on the ground, picked up the jacket on it and the egg on the jacket and walked into the house.
He gave the jacket to his grandson, who was sitting on the edge of the bed without saying a word, and handed the egg to his son Li Sangmin by the bedside.
"Hurry up and cook it for my grandson!"
Li Sangmin was busy making eggs and cooking them according to his father's instructions, not daring to have the slightest disobedience.
Zhang Yu stood at the end of the bed, staring at the child who followed Li Shiyun into the door, which looked exactly like Li Chu sitting on the side of the bed.
She was about to shout, but suddenly saw Zhang Xiaoluo walk in from outside the door, hurriedly walked forward, took Zhang Xiaoluo's hand, and quietly pointed to the boy who followed.
When Zhang Xiaoluo saw Zhang Yu like this, she couldn't help but be surprised, she could actually see it? Even if she was married to her, she shouldn't be able to see other ghosts.
