[114] Suspicious in the middle of the night
This old man was drunk and died. The sanatorium has also made the rules that are often on the lips into a compendium of rules and regulations, and all in-service personnel are strictly prohibited from smoking and drinking.
Old man Zhang died, and Zhong Kui was left in the backyard. He replaces the work of two people by himself, busy day and night. But the strange thing is that after Lao Zhangtou's death, the delivery van never came.
Without the van coming, he would not have picked up the corpses. I also have free time to do other things, such as the occasional person in the front yard shouting for help or something. Inevitably, I thought of him, and he was just spinning like a top in the front yard and the back yard.
There is a girl from out of the nursing home, named Xiao Xu, who seems to be an intern. I am not familiar with the environment here. When I first arrived, I was clumsy and was bullied by those old employees, which was similar to a miscellaneous person.
There are special patients who wet the bed, and the heavy bedding needs to be dried on the roof. Xiao Xu was depressed, and a large stack of items on the bed was soiled by the patient's soak of urine. It is not allowed to take it all to dry, and the sheets must be washed. But it would be a bit of a hassle for her to do so many things at once.
Each nurse in the nursing home is assigned a certain number of tasks and care objects. The patient who peed on the bed was the first patient Xiao Xu came into contact with after his apprenticeship in the nursing home ended.
Looking at a large pile of sheets and other items that smelled of urine, Xiao Xu was worried. I had to be cheeky and ask other caregivers to help. But when she shouted around, not only did no one pay attention, but also attracted gossip.
"Miss Daughter? It's not pretentious to be here. A middle-aged care worker pursed his lips and said coldly: "I think this is your home, who do you call?"
"Huh!" Xiao Xu was reprimanded by this mother-level aunt. was also pointed at by other nursing workers. Looking at the way they exchanged their heads and ears, they must not be talking about good things. She turned her head and left, her face was hot with shame.
A new cleaner who has come to replace the old Zhangtou wife sympathizes with her. But he didn't dare to say anything, just doing things on the side, observing. Seeing her hide her face and leave, he hurriedly picked up the dustpan and followed.
"Hey! Girl. ”
Xiao Xu stood still, turned around and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, is there something?" ”
The cleaner smiled faintly, his brow furrowed. He smiled and said, "We are new here too." Why do they bully people? I'm telling you, there's a good guy in the backyard called ...... What's going on? The cleaner thought hard, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's called Zhong Kui, it's a good person, you go and call him to help." ”
Zhong Kui met Xiao Xu for the first time, a healthy, fat and strong rural woman. Judging by her age, it should be between 28 and 35. 's generous and decent speech and demeanor won his favor.
After hearing her say that she was in trouble, he didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to help.
Xiao Xu also held the idea of giving it a try and asked this strange man for help, after he readily agreed to help. Naturally, I was very grateful and moved, and the two became acquainted with each other. After getting acquainted, there are many topics.
"Brother Zhong, not a local?"
"It's not." Zhong Kui kept in mind and was cautious in his words and deeds. Not many words, just two words.
"You don't like to talk?" Xiao Xu said with some disappointment. Here, it can be said that she is as lonely as she is here. It's hard to meet a good person who is willing to help him, and if he is aggrieved, he wants to pour it out all at once. It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to like to talk much. If she can't speak, she can't communicate, so she can't be alone in the chatter, wouldn't that become a neuropathy.
"No, I've been bored lately, so you know." Zhong Kui's face was expressionless, his mouth was talking, but his hands did not stop. He put the futon on the clothes pole and continued to take down an item that needed to be dried.
Xiao Xu, in order to get the other party's attention. It can be described as searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, sifting through what he has seen and heard recently, and finally selecting one thing to tell Zhong Kui.
"Oh, why don't I tell you something funny?"
Zhong Kui had other things in his heart, and wanted to finish Xiao Xu's affairs as soon as possible and leave. It seems a little impatient, and I take into account that the other party is a woman. Under the contradiction, he had to keep an indifferent look on his face, and said, "What's interesting? Let's talk about it! ”
"We've got ghosts here, you know?"
Zhong Kui, who didn't listen to Xiao Xu's speech at all, immediately became interested when he heard her words. "Ghosts? What did you see there? He stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Xu seriously.
Women are like this, after reaching the point of attracting the attention of the other person, they play the trick of hanging their appetite. Although Zhong Kui is not a handsome guy, nor is he a young and promising young man, he is still a tall person of the opposite sex with good body in all aspects. Coupled with his helpful personality, Xiao Xu had a hazy liking for him.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Xu pretended to be mysterious, looked east and west, and then said seriously: "Isn't the old Zhang Tou who kept vigil with you dead?" ”
The other party inadvertently mentioned Lao Zhangtou, and Zhong Kui was taken aback. On his face, he said with a calm and comfortable demeanor: "Life and death, what's so strange?" ”
Xiao Xu shook his head, and said with a slightly nervous expression: "However, that night I saw something come out of Lao Zhangtou's house. ”
"How could you possibly see that the door wasn't closed?" Zhong Kui followed after him.
Seeing that the other party was completely attracted by his own gossip, he was really nervous for a while. Then he said solemnly: "That night, I came to that (women's period) and got up all night. When I went to the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of light seeping through the backyard, and I tiptoed over curiously. I saw a man, dressed in rags, flashing out of the old man's room. Let me tell you, I was so scared that I almost ......" Xiao Xu, his face turned red, he stopped talking embarrassedly, and under the expectant gaze of the other party, he continued: "I hid aside, and after seeing that person come out, I went straight to the isolation room. ”
Zhong Kui knew that the isolation room was the dozen or so vegetative wards that suddenly returned to normal. Because they avoid light, they rarely come out in broad daylight, and the hospital also explained that this situation is caused by the patient's long-term bed rest, and everything has to wait until they adapt to the surrounding environment before they can officially live like a normal person.
"Are you sure it's a patient?"
"Sure."
"If you had to identify him, would you remember what he looked like?"
"This?" Xiao Xu seemed to have concerns, and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
"......" Zhong Kui knew that she must have misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't let you identify face-to-face, but quietly. As much as possible, without alarming the other party, can you? “
