Chapter 11: Make a phone call

The hospital's inpatient building had twelve floors except for the reception floor at the bottom, and she slowly examined it from the second floor.

Many of these wards are vacant, after all, there are not so many patients hospitalized every day, so when she comes across some unoccupied rooms, she will simply put a cross on the record sheet to make a mark for later checking.

“1207……”

She glanced up at the house number and gently pushed the door in.

The room was lit with a faint yellow light to help you sleep.

There is an old lady living in this ward, and when she is older, she always has some minor physical problems, and it is normal for her to occasionally need to be hospitalized for a few days to recuperate.

The old lady did not sleep well and often woke up in the middle of the night with insomnia. When we met during the day, she had heard the old lady muttering that she was going home, and that the place was too noisy.

But how can the hospital room be noisy at night?

In the end, the doctor guessed that it might be due to the old man's neurasthenia, which caused auditory hallucinations......

It was already the middle of the night, and she pushed the door in and saw that the old lady was rarely sleeping peacefully, and all the data were normal, so she didn't bother her, but after writing it on the record sheet, she gently withdrew and closed the door.

"If only every room were so relaxed."

She stretched, sighing in her heart.

Just as she wanted to turn around and walk to the next room, suddenly a cold hand reached out from behind her and put it on her shoulder!

She was so frightened that she almost screamed!

She turned her head in a panic and subconsciously put her hands in front of her.

But what caught your eye was not an imaginary blue-faced ghost, but an old man wearing a hospital gown, kind eyebrows, and a stiff back.

Under the cool light, it can be seen that he is already very old, with sparse white hair, old age spots on his wrinkled face, dark eyes and yellow complexion, and the whole person is about to rot, but his expression is kind, which makes people feel a little close.

The old man staggered and coughed lightly.

"Little girl, I want to ask you, where is there a public phone here, I want to call my son......"

"Pay phone?"

Tang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment.

Now in the middle of the night, normal people have already fallen asleep, can they still catch it now?

However, she also understood the old man's feelings of missing his relatives, and thought for a while: "There is no public telephone, but there is a landline in the lobby on the first floor to make calls......"

"Oh, thank you, little girl......"

The old man walked slowly in the direction of the stairs, looking very difficult to stagger, as if he might fall if he was not careful.

Tang Xiaowei looked a little unbearable, and hurriedly took two steps forward to stop him.

"Grandpa, I see that your legs and feet are not convenient, or you can use my mobile phone to call your son."

The old man glanced at her gratefully, and took the mobile phone she handed over tremblingly, but because he was old and didn't know how to use it, Tang Xiaowei pressed the number for him and dialed it.

"Doodoo ......"

"Doodoo ......"

It rang for a long time, but no one answered.

"I guess I've slept already." Tang Xiaowei watched the old man's originally eager eyes gradually dim, and reminded in a low voice, "Why don't you try it again tomorrow morning?" ”

The old man coughed, his expression dark: "Thank you, little girl." ”

"No thanks, grandpa, you should go back early to rest when it's so late, don't catch a cold at night." Tang Xiaowei persuaded her.

The old man walked to the next ward step by step, pushed the door and walked in, she followed with some anxiety, and helped him cover the quilt before leaving with confidence.

As she left, she subconsciously glanced back at the house number, 1208.

It was just a wall away from the old lady just now.

When leaving, thinking of what happened just now, she was still a little indignant in her heart, the young people now are really getting more and more unpleasant, and many sick old people in the hospital seem to be fostered here, and their children have not come to visit for a long time.

Who knows if we'll be able to see one last of them.

After inspecting the second floor, she turned around and went to the third floor, and as soon as she went up, a familiar voice called out to her behind her.

"Xiaowei, wait, I'm here!"

She paused to look back, and the one who came up the stairs was the colleague who was on duty with her tonight.

Thinking that he could have a companion, he finally quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who came was an older female nurse, and her qualifications were naturally longer than hers, which was also a reason to be a little late.

After she approached quickly, she first looked at the time, then took the record sheet from Tang Xiaowei's hand, and asked casually, "The second floor has been checked?" ”

Tang Xiaowei smiled lightly and nodded, still feeling a little satisfied after helping someone just now.

But suddenly, she noticed that the other party frowned.

"What's wrong?" She asked cautiously.

"Ward 1208 is obviously empty, why did you fill in the record?" The nurse lectured her with a straight face, "Even if you are a trainee nurse, you have to be very careful with patients, how can you make such a low-level mistake?" ”

Tang Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and retorted a little unconvinced: "No, I also helped the old man in the ward to call his son just now, although I didn't get through......"

Her words suddenly froze, as she noticed that the nurse opposite her did not seem to look good.

"I ...... What I'm saying is true......" she stammered.

"Actually, there was an old man living in that ward before. The nurse on duty knew that he often came out in the middle of the night to call his son, but strangely enough, he couldn't get through. ”

"I heard from the nurse who took care of him that his son was busy with business in the field, so busy that he had not come to see the old man since he was hospitalized, and he didn't even get through the phone, and he only called a sum of money at the beginning of each month. The poor old man's last wish after he was hospitalized was to see his son for the last time......"

The nurse took a breath, stared at her with a strange look, and whispered more and more: "But this morning, the old man has died of acute organ failure, and the body has been sent to the morgue......"

Tang Xiaowei's face turned pale, and she suddenly felt a piercing chill behind her slowly climb up, and her head was confused.

So she just ...... What the hell?!

And at this very moment.

"Boom la la ......"

From the depths of the hallway came the sound of strange metal.

It's like an iron chain rolling on the ground.

The two of them invariably turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from, looking uneasy and panicked, especially Tang Xiaowei, who had just encountered a strange incident, her lips were white with fright.

In the middle of the night, the other people on duty are busy, and the patients should have gone to bed, who would be so idle and bored dragging heavy chains around the corridor?

And the strange thing is that under the cold light, there is obviously the sound of chains coming from the depths of the deep and pale corridor, but there is no half-human figure!

The most terrifying thing is that this voice is still approaching them step by step!
