Chapter 11 The Dean
Clarion Psychiatric Hospital has ushered in a new and special day, and the old director Coren, who has reached retirement age at the age of 85, will do a good job of handing over the work with his successor today. To greet this young man in his early twenties. Director Li Xun decided to hold a party consisting of nurses and doctors, as well as mentally ill patients who were in stable condition.
Zuoqiu, who had been in the hospital for more than 10 years and had performed well, was also selected as a member of the queue at 9:30 a.m. Led by a female nurse, a group of patients were taken to a small garden on the hillside behind the hospital.
Li Xun held up the same beer belly as most middle-aged people, and told the patients to be smiling and warmly welcome when the new dean came to the stage. But the shiny director forgot to tell them who the new dean was.
Therefore, when the old dean walked on crutches to the temporary platform made of wooden planks, Zuoqiu, who had no impression of him at all, resounded with a loud cheer at the first moment. Several dazed patients also shouted. "Welcome to the new dean."
The sound was loud, and those patients who originally knew the identity of the old dean also joined in, clapping their hands and cheering one by two, and gradually making noise.
The old dean's hand holding his crutches trembled slightly, the cheers from the audience made his eardrums ache, his breathing became short, and the round tears in his eyes were pinched out by the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Welcoming the new dean, of course, but welcoming the new dean when his predecessor took the stage to speak made Colon wonder if the patients had been holding grudges against him for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, the more unhappy he became, and he fell down clutching his chest before he could spit out a word.
The party was naturally a mess, and after the ambulance arrived, the initiator Zuoqiu was caught by Li Xun and taught a lesson. Li Xun is not a good doctor, he is short-tempered, and when he is in a bad mood, he often speaks in a harsh tone, Zuoqiu's left ear goes in and out of his right ear, he doesn't take those words to heart at all, and he looks around in a pair of eyes.
A young man looked at him with attention, standing directly below the platform, wearing a slightly shorter white coat and looking a little more faceless, perhaps a new male nurse.
Out of politeness, Zuoqiu smiled at him. The young man was stunned for a moment, then returned a very gentle smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Xun looked unpleasant.
"Because I think you're too right, Director, I can't help but smile approvingly."
"Phew! With this kind of sycophancy, it is better to cooperate with our treatment, cure the disease as soon as possible, and don't stay in the hospital! Li Xun scolded in a low voice, and when he saw Zuoqiu's low eyebrows, he was in a better mood, so he waved his hand and asked the other party to leave. At the end, he added, "Although the queue is gone, you can't just waste what you eat, and you tell those patients to eat all the cakes and sugar in the garden." ”
"Okay." Zuoqiu smiled at him.
When Zuoqiu walked towards the patients, the young man who was originally standing under the platform walked towards Li Xun.
Li Xun scratched Xie Ding's hair a little embarrassed, and said crampedly, "Dean Victor, let you see the joke." ”
Victor looked no more than twenty-three or four, with a delicate appearance, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled upward, as if he was smiling all the time. He has a kind of elegant temperament, and it is easy to make people feel good when they come into contact with him.
"It's a good thing that the patients are in good spirits." His voice was slow and soft, very gentle.
The new director seems to be very easy to get along with, but getting along well is one thing, and having the ability to manage the hospital is another. Li Xun pondered in his heart. can become the dean at such a young age, who would believe that there is no backstage?
He also knew that the reason why Victor took the initiative to talk was to obtain information from the hospital. Originally, this should have been handed over by the former dean himself, but now that Coren has entered the hospital, Victor can only find Li Xun.
Although Lao Li has a bad temper, he will not be troublesome, knowing the thoughts of the new dean, he immediately took him to the reference room.
There are two types of documents: paper and electronic documents, and the paper documents are placed in each numbered brown paper bag, and do not need to be taken out for viewing unless necessary. Li Xun put his finger on the translucent computer screen, and after a ding, the computer turned on. He demonstrated a data entry and query. After doing this, take the initiative to test your body and let Victor use it.
"What's that guy's name? I'm talking about the one you just taught. "Victor already had the object of inquiry in his mind.
"The left hill, the left and right of the upper and lower sides, the hill of the hills. No. C12407" Li Xun said immediately.
Victor looked at him in surprise and typed his name and number into the computer. Soon a blue light flashed on the screen, and a clear interface was projected in midair. The three-dimensional image of the left mound rotates in the upper right corner of the interface, perhaps because the light screen is blue, and the eyes that look dead in reality have a little more brilliance in the three-dimensional picture.

】
"Why are the guardian's phone number and address blank?" Victor noticed something odd.
"That's it." Li Xun snorted disdainfully. "The boy was adopted. The couple who adopted him sent him to us, paid a year's worth of medical bills, and left. As a result, when the time of the year came, the parents had already gone to the empty building, and the phone number had become empty. ”
The answer is obvious, the left mound was abandoned.
Victor nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself, "Adoption, he's an orphan?" He didn't have any hope that Li Xun would explain this kind of thing, because it was not the hospital's responsibility to investigate the patient's origins, but surprisingly, Li Xun gave an accurate answer.
"In an angel orphanage on the coast of Moffibia, the old director of the orphanage, while visiting a dead friend, heard the cry of a baby who was lying on a grave with no tombstones, his clothes in tatters, and only a wooden sign around his neck."
"That baby is Zuoqiu? He was found in the grave? ”
"That's right, the dean took him back to the orphanage, and when he cleaned up the plaster on the wooden plaque, he found that the wooden plaque was engraved with the ancient Chinese character Zuoqiu, from which Zuoqiu's name was derived." He paused, pondered for a moment, as if pondering whether to continue, and Victor's eyes widened, his expression well applauded.
"When Zuoqiu was three years old, he was taken away by a couple."
"The couple who took him to the mental hospital?"
"Well, it is said that he had a good temper when he was a child, and he was clever, as soon as the couple arrived at the hospital, Zuoqiu took a few pieces of candy and handed them to them, who didn't like such a child, and took him back after two days."
Victor listened attentively. He was curious about what happened next, and at the same time, he was even more interested in Zuoqiu.
The couple had been married for 10 years and had no children, so they were ready to adopt one at an orphanage. They are indeed very good to Zuoqiu, and Zuoqiu has given them enough face, in short, he is like what we say...... Someone else's child. ”
"Good grades, great sports, personality in the children's pile, and politeness, adults and children like it."
It seems a little too puzzling that such a child would be mentally ill.
"But things will always change, and a lot of patients were very good people before, and it only took a primer for them to get sick."
"What's the introduction to Zuoqiu?"
"His adoptive parents are pregnant. During pregnancy, the couple put all their energy into the child in their womb. Even Zuoqiu had a 41-degree high fever, they didn't notice it, but an old man found out and sent Zuoqiu, who was only eight years old at the time, to the hospital. He spent four days in the hospital before his fever subsided. And in the past four days, his adoptive parents have not visited him in the hospital once, and it is even worse to say that the two mentally retarded people did not even realize that there was such a person missing from their side. Li Xun said later, his tone was a little impulsive. Victor could feel his deep disgust for the couple.
"The disease is cured, but the root of the disease has fallen. Zuoqiu seemed to know that his parents no longer cared about him, and his condition was revealed on the third day after the fever subsided. At that time, he had already returned to his adoptive parents, the husband and wife were watching TV, Zuoqiu was cooking in the kitchen, God knows that he was so young at that time that he couldn't even lift a pot! ”
He added wide oil to the pot, and when the oil boiled, the illness flare-up. The pot was overturned for some reason. The husband was frightened by the sound of the pot slamming on the ground, and when he arrived at the kitchen, he found that Zuoqiu's eyes were empty, his face was pale, and his entire left arm was burned. But the child's expression did not change from beginning to end, and he did not even let out a cry of pain. ”
"Painless?" Victor thought of one possibility.
Li Xun shook his head quickly, secretly saying in his heart that this young dean was really not very reliable. "Painlessness is a congenital condition that could not have been present in him. This symptom is more of an apathy, not so much because he doesn't feel pain, but because he doesn't have an emotional response to what is happening in the outside world. ”
"But I don't think he's like that." Victor remembered the smile, and although it looked a little grim with his pale face and godless eyes, he could sense kindness in it.
Li Xun also knew that Zuoqiu's current performance did not meet the judgment of lack of emotion, so he didn't say much about it, but continued to talk about the previous topic. The parents had some conscience and rushed him to the hospital at that time. But there is no cure for psychological diseases. The couple gradually sensed that something was wrong with Zuoqiu's spirit. ”
"Within a month of giving birth to the baby in their wombs, the two of them sent Zuoqiu to our hospital."
