Chapter XXVII: Temptation

Shuqing drank tea at the director's wife's house and talked until the evening, and when they left, they made an appointment to go to the insane asylum early the next morning to visit the director's wife's friend, the madwoman. The director's wife said that at that time, the madwoman's condition was better, and she could talk briefly, but not for too long.

"Shuqing, I think she's dying, she shouldn't survive this winter. The director's wife said.

Shuqing expressed some dissatisfaction with the director's wife for visiting the crazy woman, but she didn't say anything. The madwoman was the daughter of the director's wife's cousin, and they would play together during the Chinese New Year's holidays, and sometimes she would play with them when she went to play with the director's wife, and of course all this happened before she pushed down the stone and killed someone. The crazy woman turned out to be not crazy, she was a gentle and lovely girl, but it was a pity that she fell in love with the wrong person, loved a man who didn't love herself at all, and was blinded by the illusion of love she created, burying her own life and the lives of others.

When Shuqing returned home, Li Zhen had already fallen asleep, and Jinpeng was sitting alone in the living room, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. When Shuqing was downstairs, she saw that the kitchen was very clean, and some dishes were placed on the stove, which seemed to be cooking for Li Zhen. Although Shuqing's family is in the countryside, it is installed with natural gas earlier than many families, and when her parents are still there, she spends 5,000 yuan to install it for the convenience of her parents, but fortunately they are not far from the town, otherwise they will not be installed.

"Why didn't you go to Aunt Xia's house for dinner?" Shuqing asked Jinpeng.

"Oh, Aunt Shuqing is back, no, no, Li Zhen has been locked up for a day. Jin Peng said, pointing to the bedroom door. However, she had just drunk some porridge and was asleep by this time. He added.

Shuqing walked over and sat down beside Jinpeng. "What about you?"

"I'm not hungry. Jin Peng looked up and smiled.

"Did Mrs. An call you, when are you going to go back?" Shuqing said that on the way back, she received a call from Mrs. An, who asked about Li Zhen's situation and hoped that Jinpeng would take Li Zhen back as soon as possible. She didn't mention Anna, and of course maybe she had forgotten about her. I don't know why Shuqing hid what happened above from her, she didn't know the reason for her concealment, but her strong intuition told her that it was better not to let her know something.

"I want to go back tomorrow, but ......" Jinpeng stopped in the middle of speaking, and his eyes looked at the closed door of the bedroom again.

"She's not doing well?" Shuqing asked tentatively, looking at Jin Peng. She remembered the bag that Mrs. Ann had handed her when she was leaving, which contained Li Zhen's medical records, and she remembered what Mrs. Ann had said to her when she left. Mrs. An said that Li Zhen's personality changed greatly after she had epilepsy surgery, sometimes acting very likable, sometimes very irritable. The most obvious thing is that she once poked her hamster to death with scissors, and then hugged the cage and cried very sadly that someone had killed her hamster. "She was a very introverted child, had no friends, and never spoke to anyone, except for the hamster, who was her only friend, but she stabbed her to death with scissors. Mrs. Ann said. At first, she and the doctor thought it was the sequelae of epilepsy surgery, but when she took her to the hospital for a re-examination, there was nothing in her skull except for a few small ischemic foci, and the doctor told her that such a small ischemic foci could not have any effect on her. So she did a lot of other tests, and finally found that her chromosomes had some mutations, and the conclusion was that Li Zhen had a severe split personality, and this was born with her, and she had this thing in her genes. Mrs. An said something vague, she said that she was not a doctor, there was no way to explain it to Shuqing carefully, and what she wanted to tell her was that Li Zhen was a patient with a split personality who was once so serious that she was sent to a mental hospital. Of course, Mrs. An did not send Li Zhen away, she cleared a psychiatrist to come to her home to see Li Zhen, and after treatment, Li Zhen was much better, could live a normal life, and went to university. However, the doctor said that if you get a lot of stimulation, you may also return to your original state. Mrs. An was very worried that Li Zhen would do something stupid, so she specially asked Shuqing to help her take care of her, she really didn't have the courage to step into this place that made her humiliated. However, Mrs. An specially left Shuqing alone to inform her about this and avoided Jinpeng, so Shuqing didn't know if Jinpeng knew that Li Zhen was sick. She thought that Jinpeng didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't need an old woman like her to take care of it.

"I don't know, maybe Zhu Hui's death hit her hard...... She's a little strange......" said Jinpeng, his eyes sad and mocking.

"Oh, really?" Shuqing looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"The day before yesterday, she slammed herself with a stool in this room like crazy, screaming that she had finally smashed Hu Sheng to death. "Jinpeng is very rash when he talks about Hu Sheng. "But yesterday we saw Hu Sheng at Zhu Hui's funeral, oh...... I do not know. Jin Peng stopped again as he spoke, the green tendons in his temples burst out, Shuqing not only saw him like this, but the green tendons always burst out when he was angry.

He was silent for about 5 seconds, as if he was trying to endure something, but finally he looked up at Shuqing, smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Shuqing wanted to ask him if Li Zhen had been in this situation before, but he put an end to their conversation. Shuqing looked at Jinpeng and didn't want to end the conversation, it was still early to go to bed. So she said: "I went to Erlang yesterday to meet a friend, I think you may not be interested in this friend of mine, but I always want to talk to someone, if you don't mind, I want to talk to you, how pathetic my lonely old woman is, I don't even have someone to talk to." ”

"Of course, of course you can talk to me. Jin Peng said, he pulled the stool closer to Shuqing, leaned forward, and looked like he was listening.

"Have you heard of Qihui Pharmaceutical?" said Shuqing, frowning as if she was solving a difficult puzzle.

"Uh, what? It's-it's wise, it's-it's Jin Peng straightened his body suddenly, and Shuqing's sudden question caught him off guard. He stammered in his reply. Jinpeng is a very cautious person, this is Shuqing's evaluation of him.

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered that I had finished my Baoxin pills, and today I heard from the people in the town that the medicine produced by this factory is very good, let me try it. When I'm older, my heart is not good, my spirit is also a little trance, I always can't speak in time, and it always takes a long time to react to the content of the last conversation. Shuqing said that she was very visibly incompetent, senile and trembling.

"Oh, you need to take care of your body. The earlier embarrassment is gone, Jin Peng said. He stretched out a hand and put it on Shuqing's knee, becoming kind. "Now, let's talk about that friend of yours!" he said.
