Chapter 053: Great Concern
"Butterflies of all shapes fly here to gather in the spring and early summer when the trees are full of flowers, and there are various explanations and magical and interesting stories about the origin of the Butterfly Spring......
A moving song "By the Butterfly Spring" sounded in Xiao Yao's ears, a minute ago, she was still thinking that Qin Yi might be the mysterious and interesting butterfly spring, but a minute later......
The phone hung up, strange, Qin Yi is not that kind of person, at least in Le'er's eyes, he will not hang up his phone for no reason. So, why? The reasonable explanation is because of myself, my own recklessness and superficiality, my own vitriol, and my own ......
It's strange why I blame myself, why I care so much about his thoughts. This taste is not the bitterness of love separation, not the sadness of family separation, but a kind of numbness of friendship, and a punishment of God for ignoring friendship!
What to save, that dreamy boy? What should I do to keep it, that innocent and sincere friendship?
You can't wait until the flowers fall to seek cherishing, and don't wait until the time of the memorial to understand sadness, how about it? The music in her ears never stopped, and Xiao Yao hummed softly to the beat of the music
On the campus of Wuhan University, there is a cherry tree avenue, about four or five hundred meters long, in March and April every spring, both sides of the avenue will be full of white or pink flowers, hence the name - cherry tree flower road, this scenery is not only in Dongjiang City, but even in the whole country is very famous.
It's just that it's October now, and Xiao Yao Tongle walks alone on the "cherry blossom road" where the dead leaves fall, which is particularly deserted.
"The falling flowers are deliberately untimely, and the flowing water is ruthless and often accompanied", thinking about this former road full of tourists, Le'er suddenly felt this and was quite melancholy.
"Ling Zi, do you have time in the morning?"
"Yes, of course!"
If it were someone else, Jin Ling might still hesitate, this Xin'er senior sister's phone number, it is absolutely all-weather barrier-free, since the first time she saw Xin'er senior sister, she made him full of good feelings, in high school, this kind of thought may have been, but it is not like now, he doesn't know what this feeling is, just a kind of calling in the dark.
"What about Xinyu? Does he have time too? ”
"This ......" Ling Zi pursed his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, for you, there will be time if there is no time." ”
"It's not me, it's my good sister Le'er who has something to do with you, I'll see you later. Remember, don't tell my brother. ”
The phone hung up, but the last sentence "Don't tell my brother" surprised Ling Zi, he knew that Brother Yi and their brother and sister had a good relationship, but why did the senior sister hide it? It seems that the answer will only be known when we meet in person.
The location was chosen in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, which was much quieter than the hustle and bustle of the city.
"What's the flower over there?" Le'er refers to the white flowers on the side of the road leading to the top of the mountain, and the flowers are a little pink, which is very romantic.
"It's a late cherry blossom, and it's open every October." Xin'er continued, "This is a newly introduced variety. Looks like we're really in for the eyes. ”
"Really, I thought the cherry blossoms only bloomed in March and April. That's great! Le'er was excited, as if she cared about more than just flowers.
It's just that in the face of the pleasant scenery, the two young men don't seem to have any intention of appreciating it.
"Senior sister, tell me, what's the matter?" Xinyu is straighter and speaks straighter. You must know that Ling Zi pulled him over after only half of the lesson, and he thought that if there was nothing to do, he would have to finish the class.
"Thank you so much for coming. I want to know about Qin Yi's situation. "Le'er gets straight to the point.
"Brother Yi?" The two young men seemed to understand a little, "What's wrong with Brother Yi?" ”
"I'll tell you." Xin'er looked very anxious, "You live together now, does my brother usually behave very specially?" ”
"No?" Ling Zi was inexplicable.
"I just don't like to talk to my classmates. It's nothing! Xinyu was also puzzled, what happened to Brother Yi?
What's wrong with Brother Yi! This is exactly Xin'er's question, Le'er called her early in the morning and said that her brother has a slight psychological problem, and she is now an intern psychiatrist who can help her brother. At first glance, Xin'er's reaction was really angry, but she thought of her grandfather's strict control of her brother for more than ten years, and she also found that her brother was often alone in the room, staying all day, thinking about it, Xin'er was very anxious, but Le'er said that it was only a mild symptom at present, as long as she understood and communicated more, she could be the same as a normal person, so she thought of Jin Ling and Xinyu......
Le'er saw that everyone was puzzled, and said solemnly: "I'll tell you a true story first."
One morning in 1998, an alarm sounded at a middle school in Warren County, Tennessee, USA, and ambulances and police cars arrived and took 100 students, faculty and staff to the hospital. The men, who believed they had been poisoned, described to doctors as feeling tired, dizzy, nauseous, vomiting, and even out of breath. More than 30 of them were in serious condition and had to be hospitalized for observation that night. At the same time, the police quickly sealed the hospital and invited relevant experts to take samples of the air, water and surfaces in the hospital, but the test results were all negative and no suspicious substances were found.
The investigation found that the cause of the incident came from a female teacher at the school. After attending class for more than ten minutes, she suddenly smelled a smell similar to gasoline, and soon experienced symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Several other students in her class soon developed similar symptoms, which quickly spread throughout the school, including a parent who came to pick up their child home.
A few days later, all 100 patients were healthy and left with no obvious sequelae. So the school decided to reopen. On the day of the resumption of classes, most of the people had the same symptoms, and the school had to sound the alarm again and send most of the patients to the emergency room. The Tennessee state government realized the seriousness of the problem and decided to appeal to the federal government for help. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) immediately sent someone to Tennessee to perform a physical examination of the patient. The experts immediately collected blood and urine samples from the patient, checking for all possible toxic compounds and chemical pesticides, especially common toxic substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), paraquat and mercury, but found nothing.
At the same time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken on the task of investigating the school environment. They organized experts from all walks of life to carefully inspect the sewage situation of the factories around the school, as well as the air quality around the school, and at the same time checked the building materials, water supply system, sewage system, garbage disposal system of the school itself, and even studied the soil and geological conditions around the school by drilling holes, but the results were also clueless.
A month later, several psychologists came to the school and handed out a questionnaire to the students. The results showed that the majority of the students who reported being poisoned were women, and the vast majority of them had seen others after being poisoned. Another interesting finding was that most of the poisoned patients reported smelling some kind of unusual odor, but they used more than 30 adjectives to describe the smell.
A year later, in January 2000, scientists involved in the event published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine summarizing the incident and suggesting a possible explanation. They believe that this is a typical "mass hysteria" incident, in which the patient was not exposed to any toxic substances, but was given some kind of strong suggestion that caused the aforementioned symptoms of poisoning.
This seemingly absurd explanation actually makes sense. Scientists have long known that the effects of the human psyche can have a significant impact on bodily functions. In fact, this is the principle of the well-known "placebo effect". The English word placebo comes from a Latin word meaning "I will be happy". Numerous facts have proved that if a doctor tells a patient that a certain drug is effective, then even if it is not effective at all, a considerable proportion of patients will have varying degrees of improvement in their condition. ”
"What does this story have to do with Brother Yi?" Xinyu and Jin Ling still don't understand.
"My brother has a mental disorder, she is a psychiatrist, and she wants to help my brother." Xin'er believes in her good sister and worries about her brother.
"Mind-reason-obstacle-obstacle?" Ling Zi and Xinyu, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned, "Don't be so exaggerated, okay!" ”
"Yes, so, I wonder if there is anything special about his usual words and actions."
"By the way, I remembered, Brother Yi said that he had thought about suicide before!" Xinyu was really straightforward, Ling Zi gave him a blank look, he thought that this was just Brother Yi's impulse to say it, how could he take it seriously.
"Suicide? Is it true? Xin'er was frightened, she couldn't believe it, her fair pretty face turned red, if Le'er started to talk about her brother, she still had some doubts, then now, she was sure that she completely believed it. Le'er was also really startled, originally thought that this "super" boy would be very strong, didn't he get closer to him step by step because of his "superpower", I didn't think of him...... What a shock!
"Don't listen to Xinyu's nonsense, it's just Brother Yi's impulse." Ling Zi said with relief.
"Don't worry, I'm a psychiatrist now, there's always a way." Le'er's tone seemed very firm, if she was still guilty of being selfish just now, then now it has turned into pity and responsibility, but she didn't expect to make her good sister cry, which was really not the intention.
"My brother has always loved to stay in his room since he was a child, and he rarely participates in school activities. I remember the only time I was in high school, when I secretly signed up for the 1,500-meter run for the school sports day with my grandfather behind my back, I remember that when he was about to reach the finish line, he was obviously far ahead, but somehow, he fell and ended up regrettably. ”
"Woo woo woo woo ......" Xin'er sobbed softly, and the previous scenes seemed to reappear. I still remember vividly that day when I went home and tried to rub his wound with medicine, but in fact he was not injured, he deliberately lost the game, and I know that he didn't want to be noticed by too many people. Later, my grandfather still knew, maybe it was the school that informed my grandfather, and he criticized my brother fiercely, and I will never forget that night in my life. Since then, my brother has never participated in group activities. Now that I think about it, my brother is really bitter!"
"Hao Xin'er, don't be sad, don't worry, there is me! I'm a doctor-to-be. Le'er comforted, "As long as all of you cooperate with me, Qin Yi's matter will definitely be resolved." ”
"How to cooperate?" The three of them spoke in unison.
Looking at Xin'er's expectant eyes, as well as Ling Zixinyu's obedient appearance, fortunately, everything is still under "control". "In this way, you have to swear to the heavens, what the four of us said today must not be told to others, especially Qin Yi!" The green mountains and green waters are not here because of the pleasant scenery, but for the oath of these young college students in front of them, all to help good friends, heaven and earth can be learned!
