Chapter 114: Deterioration
Lynch came back late today, Zhang Xin heated the porridge again, and saw that Lynch came back before bringing the meals to the table one by one, after a busy day, plus he lost another such important cultural relic, Lynch was a little exhausted, his original pale face was now sallow, Zhang Xin was a little distressed when he saw him like this.
Grandma Cui opened the lid of the pot where the meat was stewed, sprinkled a handful of coriander into it, and for a while the aroma was overflowing, Grandma Cui put the meat and soup in a large bowl and let the dog eggs be brought to the yard.
"How's it going today? It's all going pretty well. Zhang Xin handed Lynch a spoon and motioned for him to drink some broth.
"Well, it's all okay, we'll be able to go back in two more days." If Zhang Xin knew that a piece of the artifact was missing, she would definitely be cranky, and Lynch didn't want her to worry about it anymore, so he didn't tell her what happened today.
"Ah, you'll be gone in two days." The dog's face was full of unhappiness, and he took Zhang Xin's hand and sprinkled coquettishly. "You guys stay a few more days, I don't want you to go." After these days of getting along, Goudan has regarded Lynch and Zhang Xin as his relatives, as soon as he heard that they were going back to the city, he felt that he might not see each other again in the future, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xin, and was about to cry sadly.
Zhang Xin didn't expect that the dog was so reluctant to her, and her heart was warm.
"Don't worry, we will come to see you often, you obediently accompany your grandmother at home, and when there is a school in the village, you will study hard, and when you are admitted to the university in the city, we can meet again often." Zhang Xin touched the dog's head, picked up a rabbit leg in the bowl and handed it to him.
From beginning to end of dinner, Zhang Xin didn't drink a mouthful of broth, let alone eat a mouthful of meat, she felt that a small life that was still alive and kicking around her during the day was now on the dinner table, and she couldn't bear to eat it blindly. On the contrary, Lynch and Dogan seem to have a good appetite, you and I are very happy to eat one bite, and after the meal, both of their faces are flushed with ruddy luster. Grandma Cui didn't say a word the whole time as if she had something on her mind today, watching the three of them fight daily at the dinner table, and hearing that Zhang Xin and Lynch were going to leave in a few days, she felt that it was time to make a decision about the idea in her heart.
Li Cui has never been back since she ran out of the house, nor has she called home, and she has not even been to the club that ran every day before, and she has not been accompanied by Zhang Xin for the past two days, and she goes to class on time by herself, and now her morning sickness has improved, but she still feels tired, and she wants to sleep every day, and her skin is getting better and better, and it is tender like a pinch of water.
Li Mo has been running around for one thing in the past two days, today he made an appointment with a colleague of his father before, and wanted to investigate one thing, for so many years, his father was beaten into a cow ghost and snake god during the Cultural Revolution for no reason, and suffered so many sins before he died, he knew that there must be a person behind him, although he already had a person in his heart, but there was no tangible evidence to prove this matter, and now he wanted to prepare everything before the last chance came, and he must let that person pay for his blood debt.
Li Cui didn't have classes today, she planned to go to a psychiatric hospital outside the city today to see Shen Lan who lived there. There is a bus stop at the entrance of the school, Li Cui needs to take the bus for two hours, Li Cui packed up her things, bought some fruits and canned meat, and was afraid that she would get motion sickness because of the bumps on the road, so she stuffed some sour words in her pocket and set off with her things.
The road was very smooth all the way, and the asphalt road in the city had just been paved recently, and it was not as bumpy as expected, but Li Cui still threw up on the side of the road once after getting out of the car.
Li Cui used to come to see Shen Lan every two weeks, and I heard from the doctor that Shen Lan's recent condition is getting better and better, and now she can have a normal conversation with the medical staff, and there is no previous noise, everything is slowly recovering, Li Cui also came a month ago, probably because there have been too many things recently, every girl may have this nature, whenever she encounters trouble, she wants to go home to seek warmth and recharge her energy at home, but now Li Changhui is indeed her biggest trouble.
Li Cui came to the ward where Shen Lan was, pushed the door in and found that she was not in the ward, and felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly ran to Shen Lan's attending doctor's office, Shen Lan's attending doctor was a man a few years older than Li Cui, Li Cui often came to the hospital to inquire about her mother's condition, the two were not much different in age, and they became familiar with each other after coming and going.
"Bai Lei, where did my mother go, why wasn't she in the house." Li Cui was in a panic and broke in without even knocking on the door, startling Bai Lei, who was writing medical records, and seeing that the person who came was Li Cui, he hurriedly beckoned her to sit down.
"Don't worry, your mother just changed the ward, and there is no big problem." As he spoke, he picked up a cup on the table, poured some hot water, took out honey, scooped out a spoonful, stirred it in the hot water, and handed it to Li Cui.
"You taste the nectar of the locust flower given by others."
"Thank you." Li Cui sat in the car all morning, and felt a little dry, so she took the water and took a sip. She has liked to drink honey water since she was a child, and Li Changhui will also buy all kinds of honey and take it home for her to drink, and Li Cui has not drunk it for a long time since she moved out.
"By the way, which ward is my mom in? I want to see her quickly. Li Cui finished drinking a cup after a while, still thinking about Shen Lan in her heart. Bai Lei saw that Li Cui had calmed down a bit, so he slowly told her about her mother's situation.
"Auntie's mood has not been good or even deteriorated a little recently, and now she is in the intensive care unit, and she has just had an injection and fell asleep."
"In the custodial unit? Worsening condition? Li Cui was a little confused by his words, she knew what the situation of the custody room in Bai Lei's mouth was, she had seen it once before, it was like a prison, the doors and windows were all made of iron rods, just like a cold prison, if it was not a particularly serious situation, it was impossible to enter the custody room, and she heard Bai Lei say a month ago that Shen Lan's situation had slowly improved, and she even thought that she could take her home from the hospital immediately, and the family of four lived happily, why only a month had passedEverything has completely changed.
Bai Lei looked at her, took out a registration form from under a stack of books on the table, and handed it to Li Cui.
"It's not that I want to provoke your relationship, the boy you brought before, he came once two days ago, he talked to Aunt Shen alone for a while, and after he left, Aunt Shen's condition began to deteriorate." Li Cui took the registration form, and the word Li Mo was written in black and white on it, Li Cui knew his handwriting, which was strong and powerful, which was particularly in line with his temperament.
"When Auntie's condition deteriorated, I called you, but no one answered." When Shen Lan was hospitalized, the registered information was left on the phone number at home, and now she moved out, and Li Changhui and Li Mo were not at home, so naturally no one answered.
Li Cui lowered her head and didn't speak, Bai Lei also waited patiently, didn't say a word, and after a while, Li Cui raised her head and said to Bai Lei: "I want to go see my mother first."
Li Cui came to the monitoring room under the leadership of Bai Lei, sure enough, it was cold and damp here, exactly the same as when Li Cui came last time, there was a lock on the door in each room of the monitoring room, and the keys were in the doctor's hands, Bai Lei took out the key and unlocked it. Li Cui looked blankly at Shen Lan who was lying quietly inside through the small window on the door.
"Come, let's go in, I've just had an injection of diazepam, and now I'm asleep, you can go in and see her now."
Bai Lei pulled Li Cui into the room, Shen Lan on the hospital bed did not have a little blood on her face, there were still marks on her hands that were scratched when she struggled, her hair was messy, and it was not the same as before, Li Cui grabbed Shen Lan's hand and sat on the edge of the bed slowly. Bai Lei saw that Shen Lan was asleep now and would not wake up for the time being, guessing that Li Cui must have something to say to Shen Lan, so he didn't bother anymore, walked out of the custody room by himself, and stood guard outside the door.
