Although the breathing of the elderly is very slow, it seems to be relatively even, just because the breathing speed of the elderly is much smoother than that of our young people. Many of the cases I have come into contact with before have me met the old man when he was dying, and although the old man in front of me looked a little weird, opening his mouth wide usually seemed to me to mean that the air intake was not as much as the air out, so he needed to use his mouth to replenish his breathing. The old man's mouth was open, but his lower lip seemed to contain his lower row of teeth, which was a little different from the usual mouth opening to breathe.

So I asked the woman, "Sister, who is this old man of yours?" The woman told me that it was her father. Actually, I guessed, but I think it's slightly more reliable when asked. Then I asked her, "Do you have any other children in your family?" The woman shook her head and said she was the only one. By this time, I had noticed that although the women were dressed modestly, they were not very bad. If this is already the case in one's own home, the woman's dress is obviously inconsistent with the conditions of the family. And Hu Zongren and I visited randomly, and she made things difficult for us at the door for a while, so there was no possibility of changing a good set of clothes in advance, so I boldly asked her, eldest sister, do you not live here?

The woman said a little impatiently, you have also seen this condition, just such a bed, where do you let me sleep? Do you sleep with my dad? Her tone was a little rushed, but over the years, this little collision was nothing to me. Then I said to her, "Can you tell me about this old man?"

The old man looked very weak, and I didn't think it was like he was asleep, more like he was unconscious, but he still had the ability to breathe. Generally speaking, if the elderly in the family are in this state, they should be sent to the hospital immediately as children. The woman told me that both father and daughter were surnamed Liang, and they happened to be the first batch of only children, so Uncle Liang did not have any other children. Uncle Liang's current situation began to appear about two weeks ago, at first he was just talking nonsense, that day he took his daughter back to his father's house to visit his father, but when eating, his father suddenly kicked his legs, knocked over the table, and then fell to the ground and began to convulsions, at first he rolled his eyes and spit foam stars, his feet were very straight, and his hands were claw-like and turned back, which looked very similar to the ordinary pumping horn wind, he was in a hurry so he asked a neighbor to help, but after the neighbor entered the house, Uncle Liang's body relaxed, It was almost the same as it is now, except that it didn't open its mouth and looked like it was asleep.

Sister Liang told me that at that time, the neighbors said to send him to the hospital immediately, and Uncle Liang woke up leisurely, but after waking up, he didn't remember what happened just now. even asked his daughter why the table had fallen to the ground, and the neighbors came, so Sister Liang told her father what had just happened, and the neighbors also persuaded him to go to the hospital when he was old and sick, don't hold on, but Uncle Liang said that he refused to go to anything, saying that he was not sick, but he didn't have a reasonable explanation for the situation just now, so he just stubbornly didn't go.

Sister Liang said that since her father had returned to normal, she felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but she was just a little more attentive, so she agreed to her father's request not to go to the hospital, but since that day, she has taken time to come here almost every day to see if there is anything wrong with her father. Sister Liang told us that she herself is a single mother, she was married once in her early years, but the marriage was a failure, she and her ex-husband divorced when her daughter was two years old, and the child was awarded to herself, but she had to support her family, so the pressure was still very high, so her daughter is now 7 years old, and before the age of 6, Uncle Liang was helping her take care of the child. She went on to say that since she took time to come here from the company at noon every day to see if her father had any kind of time, the first few days were fine, her father knew that he was coming, and specially prepared lunch, planning to let her go to work after eating at home, but after a few days, every time she came, she had to knock on the door for a long time, and when her father came to open the door, he also looked like he had just woken up, and lunch became made for his father, and his father basically went to bed immediately after eating.

Sister Liang said that she could figure it out when this person was old and lacked energy, but the more he got to the back, the more serious the situation became. So much so that she had to ask her neighbors to open the door for her several times, because she was afraid that her father would go wrong when she lived alone, so the neighbor had the key to the house. When I opened the door, I found that my father was sleeping at home as he is now, and you said that it was okay to just fall asleep, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

Hu Zongren interrupted Sister Liang's words and interjected and asked, this is impossible, you said that no matter how sleepy this person is, he must eat, drink and Lazar, it's been two weeks, who can sleep without eating or drinking for two weeks, and it's not a bear, do you want to hibernate? Sister Liang said that this is the strangest place, because every time it is time to eat at noon, my father will wake up, and then noisily say that he wants to eat, and he has a big temper, like a child, so she can only go to cook for her father, and after eating, his father will continue to sleep until he wakes up again in the evening, and then continue to sleep until noon the next day.

I was a little surprised when I heard this, I am a very sleepy person, if I stayed up late, I would usually be able to wake up from the point where I fell asleep, at least 12 hours later, but I always wake up, because if I sleep for too long, I will wake up with a headache, and even my body is soft, but it doesn't look like I've slept enough. If I were to eat, sleep, sleep and eat all day, I wouldn't be able to do anything. The problem is that this old man will wake up to eat! We all know that the speed of metabolism is relatively slow when people are sleeping, that is to say, generally speaking, we eat breakfast in the morning, after a morning of tossing, we will be hungry at noon, and then after an afternoon, we will be hungry at night, but if it is not a person who has not eaten for a few days, who will suddenly wake up hungry when they are sleeping soundly? I have to emphasize that if this old man really woke up "hungry".

Hu Zongren continued to ask Sister Liang, apart from this, is there anything else that this old man feels abnormal? Sister Liang shook her head helplessly and said, that's a lot, don't look at him every day when he wakes up for so much time, just such a little space he can make a mess at home, lose his temper, smash things, and sometimes bite his own hand to harm himself, I really can't help it, I asked my neighbors to help me a few times, people didn't want to come, and I shouted at me to send him to the hospital, but whether we dragged it or the hospital came directly, my father went crazy, wanted to bite, and the strength was quite big, no one could do anything about him, You can see the road here, the ambulance can't get in at all, the nearest road is at least 15 minutes away, there is no decent medical facility in this old place, and my father himself has some signs of hurting, so we really can't help it.

Sister Liang continued, "We are a small place, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are all people who have lived together all their lives, and most of them are old people, and they all know my father, so after this incident happened in the family, it soon spread to everyone in our place, and everyone said that this old man was evil and was entangled by ghosts, and he had to find someone to exorcise the evil spirit. At first, I didn't believe it, I thought it was all the superstition of the elderly, but just last week, I came to cook food for my father at noon, and after feeding him, he fell asleep, and I knew that he would not wake up until the evening, so I rushed back to the company to work, got off work early to pick up my daughter, sent my daughter to the house of one of my good sisters and asked her to help me watch over my daughter, and I rushed to my father's house in the dust, and I was going to give my father a hot lunch meal, and after feeding him, he fell asleep and was able to go home. But when I opened the door, I found that my father had fallen from the bed to the floor, still asleep, but there seemed to be a posture that wanted to crawl forward, and when I lifted him up, I found that his nails had turned out, and there were several bloody scratches on his nails on the ground.

I hurriedly asked Sister Liang, can you still see that scratch now? Sister Liang lowered her head and looked on the ground, and then pointed it out to me, I lowered my body to take a look, and found a total of eight scratches, as if both hands were slashed on the ground except for the thumb. It is impossible for a normal person to make such a move, ten fingers to the heart, and it is even more impossible to be able to sleep peacefully after such pain, otherwise, in the patriotic education back then, it was said that Sister Jiang was still loyal and unyielding after being pricked with a bamboo stick, then it must be teasing me.

Since the light was very dim and we were afraid of waking the old man up, we kept our voices low. Hu Zongren and I didn't do anything during this period, such as inspections, we need to know the complete situation from Sister Liang before we can judge where to start. Sister Liang went on to say that this was nothing, because she was worried that her father would fall down again in the middle of the night, so she called her sister, saying that the child would temporarily live in her house tonight, and her old father had a problem and needed to be taken care of for one night. After taking care of everything carefully, he cleaned up the table in the dining room outside, and fell asleep after napping on the table.

Sister Liang took a breath, as if she would be scared when she thought about it now, she said, in the middle of the night, she heard a sound like a bird flapping its wings, just in the window not far above her head, she could see the shadow of a bird in the light, she didn't care, she thought that she would wake up anyway to see if her father had fallen, but when she walked to her father's bed in the dark and turned on the lamp, she turned her head and saw that her father was not in her bed at all, and she turned her head again, I found that my father was standing upright on the mirror in the closet, and his hands were claw-like, just like the first time he appeared, the only difference was that he fell last time, but this time he was standing. His nose was a little overweight because it was too tight, and even though he was facing the mirror, his father's eyes were wide, and he was looking at himself with slanted eyes.
