Chapter 9, Hospitals
Watching them sit down from afar, Brook was scared at her companion, and even more so with the fear she felt when she pointed at me, I felt that my current state was abnormal, ghost? Oh, but have you ever seen a ghost appear in the daytime and enjoy the sun?
Suppressing the confusion in my heart, I did not approach her, lest it backfire, and I watched her from the window to know what was going on.
The man, as I walked around, I met his gaze, but quickly his gaze shifted.

As the night fell, the lonely began to be hungry, and the box of lunch that I had eaten before had already been digested with the dissipation of physical strength, and the 8 yuan on my body was tightened, and the old woman looked at the passers-by who hurried home in the night.
When passing by a ramen shop, smelling the fragrance coming from the store and the guests enjoying the noodles on the table, the old woman tightened her clothes, hesitated for a long time, and finally entered the store, looked up at the blue price list on the wall, to see the lowest price, it was 12 yuan, think about the 8 yuan on her body, the old woman sighed softly, she has not found her granddaughter yet, and the money on her body is gone, only the clothes that were discarded by the two hooligans before were packed in a small bag. "Housheng, can you give me a bowl of noodle soup?" The old woman said to the middle-aged man at the cash register.
The middle-aged man was short and strong, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the old woman's dress, as well as the clothes on her body, as well as the aura on her body that had been contaminated by the two days of sleeping in the open, and his face suddenly sank, "Who let you in!" Get out! A loud shout interrupted the dining of the entire restaurant, and most of them turned their eyes to the cash register, some stopped what they were doing and looked up at their follow-up, some watched while eating, and some just glanced at it and continued to eat.
At one of the tables, a couple was dining, and the man jokingly said, "I guess I'm here to ask for money again." Leave it alone, eat it. But his female companion watched quietly and did not answer his words.
The three people who were working behind the glass windows also saw the situation. One of the masters did not stop working, only occasionally glanced up, and the ramen noodles were kneaded and pulled in his hands, and soon a bowl of noodles was formed, while the other two were dressed as apprentices, one was cooking noodles, and one was adding various condiments to the noodles.
The old woman was a little frightened and a little overwhelmed by the snort, but she quickly came to her senses and took out the money from her pocket, "I have money, I have money, I just need a bowl of noodle soup." "There's no noodle soup to sell, so let's go." The impatient noodle shop owner waved his hand directly to let the old woman go.
The woman had no choice but to stuff the money from her pocket back into her clothes and drag her tired body to the door.
The old woman who left the door of the store had to find a place to sit and rest nearby.
Apprentice Jiang Xiaochun, who was originally serving noodles with condiments, and then serving them to guests, saw through the glass of the store that the old woman was sitting down and resting not far away, his heart was like a thorn, this thorn was like a thorn in the throat, wanting to vomit, not vomiting unhappy, in this world, whether we are noble or low, it is not our worth, not power, not power, it is our soul, our soul is noble, even if we are in the mud, we are also noble, when our soul is dirty, Even if you are in the temple of gold, your filth will stain your filth with gold.
I once heard a sentence "We can be mean, we can be shameless, we can have no conscience, it doesn't matter, this is the natural instinct of man, the reason why we are better than the beast, is that we will use complex minds to achieve personal goals, this is understandable, the law of the jungle is the law of the beast, not our people, compassion must exist, it is the first element to measure whether a person is educated, whether there is a need to exist."
prompted Jiang Xiaochun to make a decision, he poured a bowl of freshly cooked noodles directly into the takeaway box, which made another apprentice, Cui Lei, look stunned for a moment, "There is no takeout order, what are you doing!" And Feng Yisheng, the master who was making ramen, glanced at him and said softly, "Remember to pay the money, Lao Huang is not a good stubble." Jiang Xiaochun knew what to do, and after packing, he passed by Boss Huang's side and gave the money to Boss Huang.
"Fool, do those people want your face, they want money!" After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Jiang Xiaochun, Jiang Xiaochun didn't speak, but the firmness in the depths of his eyes was a little shaken, and after a little hesitation, he was firm again, and took the pasta in his hand and walked to the old woman not far from the door.
The old woman looked at the young man who was walking towards her in a little surprise, and after thinking for a moment she knew what he meant, and for a moment she did not know how to decide whether to accept or reject.
"Old man, I have a bowl of noodles here, you eat it first." Still thinking about the old woman, Jiang Xiaochun put his face next to the woman, and then turned around and left, he was actually the first time to do such a thing, a young man who had just turned 18 years old, and his face was a little unbearable.
"Thank you, lad." Looking at the young man who was about to go away, the old woman could only shout thank you. Hearing this thank you, Jiang Xiaochun's footsteps paused slightly for a moment, and then returned to the noodle shop again.
"Hmph...... There will always be times when you kid suffers. Lao Huang looked at this scene, muttered, and then took his mobile phone to watch it again. And Feng Yisheng and Cui Lei in the kitchen were whispering, "Master, do you say that the old man really cheated money?" ”
"It's hard to say, who can see the truth and falsehood of this world." Feng Yisheng had already pulled up the noodles of the customers in the store at this time, wrapped the remaining dough in plastic wrap, grabbed the towel next to him and wiped the table where the flour had just gotten it. "Sometimes, when you think it's true, it's false, and sometimes when you think it's false, it's true! No one can say clearly, the human heart is the most difficult thing to understand in this world. ”
Jiang Xiaochun, who returned to the kitchen to help, looked at the old woman who was eating noodles outside, her face was filled with a trace of joy, I can't help people in the world, but I can help people who I can.

I knew that maybe Brook was the only person I could turn to, but I didn't know how to get in touch with her.
I had to sit down on the grass outside the window, bored, I once again set my eyes on my backpack, the zipper seemed to be stuck, no matter how I could not move, I had to give up again.
"With you gone, there is no news of happiness"
……
"I miss you so much"
……
"I'm still tiptoeing and missing"
……
"I'm still pretending it doesn't matter"
……
A trace of singing drifted into my ears, and in the quiet environment of the hospital at the moment, there were actually people singing, but this singing voice was ethereal, and I couldn't grasp the movement, I looked around, and still couldn't determine the source of the singing, "It's so good." The resentment in the song, the meaning of longing is so heavy, a little heavy that people can't breathe.

Mother Liu, who came in a hurry with dinner, reprimanded Lin Xi as soon as she entered the ward, "You girl, you refuse to rest in the morning, you see what you have become now." As he spoke, he put the lunch box and fruits around him on the cabinet next to the bed, and then put his right hand on Lin Xi's forehead, "Oh, it's getting hotter and hotter, what did the doctor say?" Saying that, asked Liu Yue, Liu Yue had to say what the doctor said just now, it was already 9:00 in the evening, Lin Xi was already lying on the bed, covered with a thick hospital quilt, and her trembling body from time to time showed that her body was a little afraid of cold at this time, Liu Yue had to help her tuck the quilt, and the noise in the past few days made Liu Yue feel tired.
"You can rest first, I'll just keep watch." Mother Liu handed over the open lunch box to Liu Yue, and Liu Yue took the lunch box to the side and chewed it slowly.
