Chapter Ninety-Four: The Other Side of the Blue
Lin Chen took the shoe, held it up in front of his eyes, carefully distinguished it for a while, and said, "Something is wrong!" What about embroidered flowers? ”
"This shoe has not been opened or touched since it was last wrapped on the back mountain of Yunfu Temple. Only wrapped in a layer of plastic sheeting on the outside, I remember clearly, there were flowers at that time, could it be that the flowers, it still flew by itself? Besides, I don't have that flower pattern, what do I want it for! So there must be flowers when packing! ”
"Here!" Lin Chen said, while pulling out a small piece of blue floral cloth from the mouth of his shoe, "What is this?" Aqi, did you find a piece of cloth here last time? ”
"Nope!"
"Don't worry about that! Open it up and take a look! ”,
"Yes, open it and take a look!"
Several heads came together and said in unison.
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, and carefully opened the piece of cloth that was clustered together, The outside of the cloth was blue, and it was printed with a pattern similar to hieroglyphs that everyone couldn't understand, and the inner side was a floral pattern.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand.
Xu Aqi sat on the chair at the head of the bed and said, "I announce!" I, Xu Aqi, is completely dizzy! ”
"Don't surrender yet! Let's think about it together, brainstorming, three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, and there are four of us! ”
"Blue, floral, cuff!"
The fat man shook his head and stood up, muttering alone.
"Jacaranda, Jacaranda? Jacaranda, jacaranda! ”
After a while, he couldn't help humming the familiar northern Shaanxi tune.
The blue line (that) blue line, the blue line (of) color,
gave birth to a jacaranda flower, and really loved the dead.
The seedlings of the field in the five grains, counting the sorghum high,
The daughter of the thirteen provinces (yo), just count (that) jacaranda flowers.
"Hey! Fatty, what kind of nerves do you have TMD! Sing what you sang! Still love to death, can you be serious? Hurry up and think about it, what's going on! ”
Lin Chen's expression couldn't laugh or cry.
"Don't, don't, Lin Chen, don't interrupt, okay? How nice it sounds! The fat man's voice is actually quite good, and he sings well, so keep it up! ”
Ye Jiangchuan clapped his hands, his spirit was very good today, under some long broken hair, a pair of eyes were sparkling, the tips of the hair were fluffy, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also had a lazy taste.
"That's it! There is no more! After the fat man finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "I didn't sing this song because I was nervous!" If you want to talk about the blue flower mouth, I heard that this old Mo mouth used to be called the blue flower mouth, what do you mean by this? Will it be related to Lao Mokou? ”
"The fat man is right! Old Mokou used to be called Blue Flower Mouth! The older generation knows it! Ye Jiangchuan said.
"Does it matter?" Lin Chen asked.
"Maybe it doesn't matter, I'm just guessing!" The fat man said.
"In this place of Lao Mokou, there used to be a kind of flower, a lot, in patches, called the blue side, shaped like a dragon's claw, very beautiful, the leaves are very thin, the flowers are light blue, and there are also blue and white. I saw a lot of them when I was a kid, not many of them now. There was a big flood in this place a few decades ago, and since then this flower there has disappeared, and it has been renamed Lao Mokou! ”
Ye Jiangchuan's words aroused everyone's curiosity.
Xu Aqi blinked her eyes and said, "Aren't the flowers on the other side only red and white?" ”
Ye Jiangchuan sat back on the edge of the bed, hugged the pillow, and dusted the pillow carelessly.
"That's what everybody calls it anyway! Generally speaking, the red side is called Manzhu Sahua, which blooms on the road to hell, and the white side is called Mandala Hua, which blooms on the road to heaven, this kind of flower is to give a guide and comfort to the souls who have left the human world, and it also represents the miserable love. It is said that only this blue shore is open in the yin and yang world! The old people say that Lao Mokou's place is the Yin and Yang Realm, and I have also heard of this! However, I don't like this flower, no matter how beautiful it is, I don't like it! As long as it's related to death, I don't like it! ”
"Why is it Lao Mokou'er again! Don't forget, your hospitalization this time is something that happened to Lao Mo's mouth! The fat man said.
"Yes! Wickedness in this place! And the flowers! More wickedness! Xu Aqi said.
"I seem to have seen this flower!"
Lin Chen, who was in silence, immediately remembered that the strange place he had traveled through in his dreams, judging from the narrow valley alone, should be the area of Lao Mokou! The valley where the rumbling fissures stretched past, and the road leading to it was full of flowers of this color and shape.
"Ye Jiangchuan, do you remember? We walked through the pine forest, on the cliffs of vines, and in the midst of a thunderstorm, the voice, the voice that called 'Liu Yunsheng', came from that valley! On both sides of the road, the flowers that bloomed, or you told us, are also called the blue side! Lin Chen said.
Ye Jiangchuan frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Did I say it?" I don't remember exactly, but I know about this flower. ”
"What's the matter with you? I can't remember that, I can't remember that! Are you brain-pumped? ”
Xu Aqi scratched her hair and whispered.
"It's not just this flower, since that big flood, this place has become very weird, there are many snakes, there are many mosquitoes, I heard that there were people, livestock walked in, and they never came out again!" The fat man added.
Speaking of this, everyone quieted down, and seemed to be still immersed in the imagination of Lao Mokou's strange scene.
"I have a bold idea!" Xu Aqi glanced at everyone, hesitated for a while, and then said, "This shoe should be an arrow pointing to Lao Mokou!" ”
The fat man nodded.
Xu Aqi moved his gaze to Ye Jiangchuan, and Ye Jiangchuan said: "If you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense!" ”
Lin Chen stood up quietly, took out the two pieces of paper with oracle bone characters from the backpack hanging on the hanger, and took the blue flower cloth from Xu Aqi's hand, and fell into deep thought about the pattern on it, which was also similar to oracle bone characters.
Xu Aqi squinted at those strange patterns and sighed, "Don't compare! I don't see why! Waste of time! ”
Lin Chen didn't pay attention to Xu Aqi, still looking meditative.
The fat man stood up impatiently, walked back and forth in the ward for a few steps, and finally mustered up the courage to say what he was holding in his heart.
"It's not a way to look at it this way! If I were you, you would have a different way of thinking, you see, what do these oracle-like patterns look like? ”
"People!" Xu Aqi said.
"Yes, look at it again!"
"Villain! Child! ”
"That's right! Isn't it very child-like! Let's just cut out those patterns with scissors, like puzzles, and see what we can see! ”
The fat man's words reminded Lin Chen, and he snapped his fingers, "That's right! Who has scissors? ”
Xu Aqi borrowed scissors from the nurse, and several people got busy.
All the graphics were cut out and tried to be stitched together, and these seemingly marginal patterns were put together very smoothly.
A picture, presented in front of everyone!
"Like what?"
"Kids! A few kids! ”
"How many?"
"Six? No, it's seven! ”
"That's right! Right! It's seven! Some look like boys, some like girls! ”
"What are they doing?"
"Walking? No, it's running... It's like going on a trip! ”
"Hmmm! It should be going on a trip! ”
Go on a trip!
Lin Chen stared blankly at the picture on the table, and let out a long breath, as if he had completed a difficult job, and there was a kind of joy of a winner. But soon, he couldn't help but frown again.
Because, he suddenly remembered something....
The silent phone call he and the little boy named Harahara received, and after a long squeaky noise, the strange voice of a soft-voiced woman came from the phone:
Go play! Is everyone here?
At that time, he was confused when asked, and thought that someone was playing a prank!
The lively and curious Yuan Yuan replied even more seriously: Where are you going to play? Is it okay for me to go too?
Then, a series of terrible encounters occurred: the roaring yellow truck almost killed the two of them; Yuan Yuan had a fever when he went back, his father Wu Shangyan died suddenly, and even their cat died...
Then, when Ye Jiangchuan, who seemed to be possessed by Wu Shangyan's ghost, was talking to Yuan Yuan, a strange voice suddenly popped out from Ye Jiangchuan's mouth, not male or female, and it was unbelievable:
You-really-no-should-answer-listen-that-call-call!
Later, there was a scene where Ye Jiangchuan jumped up from the bed like crazy and fell to the ground, Ye Jiangchuan said that it was because he accidentally saw a woman in black sitting on the ground next to the bed!
Lin Chen's brows tightened, this series of events seemed to be related!
And now, the picture that unfolded in front of a few of them conveyed to them meant that a few children were going on a trip!
Isn't it just about going on a trip!
Go play! Is everyone here? That voice seemed to echo in Lin Chen's mind again, and it refused to go away like a nightmare.
Lin Chen stood up silently and walked out of the ward. Around the corner of the hallway, he lit a cigarette and took a big gulp. His mind went blank! He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare not think about it! After thinking too much, white hair sweat straightened up on his back.
Oh, yes! So what does a woman mean exactly?
What unknown fears await him?
Waiting for him and Xu Aqi?
Waiting for these friends?
When I got back to the ward, several people were still discussing the shoe.
Ye Jiangchuan asked Xu Aqi curiously: "How did you get these shoes?" ”
"I picked it up on the back mountain of Yunfu Temple!" Xu Aqi said.
Ye Jiangchuan frowned, "Huh? Walking along the back hill of Unfukuji Temple is the cemetery! Pick up a shoe from an unknown source in such a place, if you probably threw it away! Save yourself from getting dirty! ”
"I said a long time ago not to pick it up, Xu Aqi likes the embroidery pattern on it, and I got it back! The embroidered pattern was missing, but the blue cloth with the broken flowers and the pattern on it were found. Luckily, we accidentally put together a pattern! ”
Lin Chen sat down and interjected, with indescribable confusion in his eyes.
"Hey, where have you been?" The fat man stabbed Lin Chen with his elbow.
"Went outside and smoked a cigarette! It's okay, I just want to relax! ”
Ye Jiangchuan's words just now affected Xu Aqi, she glanced at Lin Chen, hesitated, seemed to be infected by everyone, looked at this shoe with some discomfort, and whispered: "Or, throw it away?" ”
"Don't lose it yet, I guess it should be fine for a while, I'll think about it, maybe this shoe is still useful!"
Lin Chen stood up as he spoke, put the shoes back into the plastic bag, and asked the nurse for a medical adhesive strip to seal his mouth.
Several doctors walked in and were going to make rounds, and at the same time, a patient was arranged to be admitted to this ward, and the patient's family members also followed, and the room suddenly seemed extremely crowded, so Lin Chen and they simply withdrew.
When he went out, Lin Chen saw Ye Jiangchuan's father and Dr. Luo standing in the corridor talking about something, so he walked over.
"Dr. Li is still very experienced in this area, would you like to think about it again?" Dr. Luo said.
Ye Jiangchuan's father thought for a moment and said, "Okay, otherwise, just do what you say!" ”
"Yes, it's better to look for Dr. Li from the neurology department! Ye Jiangchuan is not very reasonable from the onset of the disease to the recovery this time, and there was a resurrection in the middle, our hospital still attaches great importance to this case, and Dr. Li is also very interested in it. Dr. Li is very accomplished in neurology and psychology, and it is not easy to make an appointment with him, and the hospital will study Ye Jiangchuan's situation as a case study, and the treatment cost will be much lower. I think Ye Jiangchuan is still a little nervous, I suggest you take a look first and then listen to Dr. Li's opinion. Of course, I just suggest, I still need you to make a decision, if you want to see it, it should be as soon as possible, it should be possible tomorrow afternoon, this is also the hospital's care for Ye Jiangchuan, if everyone else has to wait until a week later. ”
Ye Jiangchuan's father was still a little hesitant, "That... Why don't I discuss it with my child again? ”
Dr. Luo is a brilliant man.
"Because your child's medical record is listed as a research case, the hospital will give you free of registration fees and diagnosis fees!"
Hearing this, Ye Jiangchuan's father showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "It's so good, and there is a good thing that you can see a doctor without spending money?" Then make an appointment, no need to discuss with him! ”
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation!"
Dr. Luo wrote Dr. Li's phone number to Ye Jiangchuan's father and went into the ward.
"Uncle, is it really an appointment?" Lin Chen walked over and asked.
"About, it doesn't cost money, you can see a doctor, and cooperating with research may be helpful to other patients, the best of all three worlds! It's not good. ”
Ye Jiangchuan's father said with a simple smile, turned around after speaking, and entered the ward.
