Chapter 3 The Orchid That Wasn't Returned Too Late
When the mist in the air last night condensed into dew drops and hung on the pot of orchids on the windowsill of the hospital. The young man on the hospital bed, who had been sick for a long time, finally did not see the first rays of sunshine in the morning, and passed away.
And the orchids on the windowsill are in full bloom in the hot sun at the moment. The boy didn't have time to return the pot of orchids to its true owner, so he closed his eyes forever.
When the boy came out of his body and looked at his body with a lost face, he didn't know how to feel. And what about the pot of orchids on the windowsill to be returned to its true owner?
And at this moment, a snow-white cat, proudly cocking its white tail, walked under the boy's window...
"Old White"! "Where did you run again"? "Eat the fish can"! When Zhang Shuling woke up from his sleep, he found that Lao Bai was gone. Although Lao Bai is not an ordinary cat, he is a nine-tailed white cat that has practiced for thousands of years, and he has a certain amount of mana cultivation. But in the human world, it is not easy to reveal human appearances and use spells. If it is discovered by others, Lao Bai's true identity will probably be sent to the research institute to study Lao Bai...
Zhang Shuling was worried about Lao Bai, but Lao Bai swaggered in from the door, Lao Bai yawned, stretched lazily and walked to his cat bowl, which was the canned fish that Zhang Shuling put in for Lao Bai, Lao Bai was unceremoniously feasting.
And when Lao Bai swaggered home, eating the delicious canned food prepared by Zhang Shuling for Lao Bai. A pale young man in a hospital gown also slowly came in behind Lao Bai.
The boy smiled very politely and said, "I'm sorry!" "Excuse me"! "It brought me here and said you can help me"? After speaking, he glanced at Lao Bai, who was cooking.
"You are"? "Old White"! "Who are you recruiting for me again?" Zhang Shuling looked at the strange young man in front of him, and looked at Lao Baidao who was enjoying the food on the side with a slight anger.
"How"? "Can't you see he's a ghost"? Woo... Lao Bai said while eating delicious canned fish.
"You... You're looking for trouble for me again!" Zhang Shuling glared at Lao Bai slightly angrily and said.
"It's... Isn't that a problem for you?" The young man looked at Zhang Shuling, who was a little angry, and said.
"It's not... How so"? "Sit down and talk"! "Lao Bai said that you have something to ask me to help with, what is the matter"? When Zhang Shuling realized that the young man in front of him was no longer a human being, but the soul of a dead person. Immediately entered the role of the Yin Envoy, beckoned the young man to sit down, and said something slowly. But he secretly complained in his heart: "This old white"! "You'll find something for me, but everyone has come to the door, and you can't turn people away thousands of miles away! I can only see what the boy wants me to help with first!"
"Thank you"! The young man politely smiled and sat on the chair next to him and said gratefully.
"I... My name is Sun Yuzhe, and I... This morning already... Dead"! "I was supposed to go to the underworld to report, but I haven't finished one thing yet, so I can't go to the underworld yet." "It was then that it walked under my window, and it saw me. brought me here, and said that you can help me complete it, I haven't fulfilled my wish yet..."The young man looked at the old Bai Dao who was full of food and drink and fell asleep.
"That's... What other wishes do you have left unfulfilled"? Zhang Shuling asked suspiciously.
"Actually... It was about a pot of orchids, and I promised the owner of the pot that I would return the orchids to her after I had saved them." "But... I finally rescued the orchid, but I died because of the aggravation of the disease, the pot of orchids..."
"So... Do you want me to give that pot of orchids to its true owner"? Zhang Shuling suddenly followed the young man's words.
"Yes"! The young man continued with a slight smile: "I have rarely gone out since I was a child because of congenital heart disease, and the hospital is my home. But a month ago, I met a girl who dropped out of high school before graduating from high school to support her family because of her family's preference for sons. She was originally working in a restaurant, but his boss saw that she was young and beautiful, so he wanted to bully her after drinking, she was unwilling, desperately resisted, and broke her boss's head with a beer bottle, and she herself was beaten by the boss and went to the hospital with a blue nose and swollen face, and at this time, a friend of hers came to see her and gave her a pot of orchids in order to make her happy. "Because her name is Alain".
"But she doesn't know how to raise orchids, and the potted orchids will soon wither." When I saw this, I asked her for the pot of orchids, and promised her that I would return them to her after I had revived them. She didn't want to, but looking at the dying orchid, she had no choice but to agree... We also became good friends because of that pot of orchids. Soon her injuries healed and she was discharged from the hospital." "I said that her injuries are not completely healed, why do you have to be discharged from the hospital so soon"! But she smiled helplessly and said to me: "I am different from a pampered young master like you, I am not discharged from the hospital, I went out to work to make money, how can I live..."
"I haven't seen her since that parting." "But she was the only friend I could talk to in the hospital, and I promised her to return the pot of orchids to her." "But after I finally rescued the pot of orchids, I was....the young man said without saying anything."
"As you say"! "After Alain was discharged from the hospital, he didn't come to the hospital to see you or contact you." I'm afraid that the pot of orchids has also forgotten about it!" Zhang Shuling said analytically.
"Impossible"! "She won't forget her promise with me! She's just working to make money, she's just too busy"! "She must have remembered"! After the young man heard Zhang Shuling's words, he said loudly and excitedly.
"Good"! "Good"! "Don't you get excited"? "Do you know where the girl named Alain lives?" "I'll go to the hospital with you to retrieve that pot of orchids and return it to her!" Zhang Shuling looked at the excited young man in front of him, and asked comfortingly.
"She told me that her family probably lived there!" The young man said to Zhang Shuling.
"Good"! "Let's go to the hospital immediately to retrieve the pot of orchids and return it to the girl named Alain." "Lao Bai, are you going?" Zhang Shuling proposed to look at Lao Bai, who was sleeping on the side. And Lao Bai's ears only moved slightly, and there was no response.
"Well... Forget it"! "It's enough for me to go with the two of you"! Zhang Shuling looked helplessly at Lao Bai, who was sleeping on the side, and said with a wry smile.
So Zhang Shuling and the young man who turned into a ghost went to the hospital together to retrieve the orchid on the windowsill. Fortunately, the medical staff did not discard the pot of orchids, and Zhang Shuling claimed that he was a friend of the teenager and took the pot of orchids.
Zhang Shuling held the pot of blooming orchids in his hand and walked on the street. After passing through a few small alleys, I stopped at a dilapidated rental house. There was a knock on the dilapidated iron door.
"Who"! "I disturbed my aunt's dream early in the morning, and my aunt worked overtime until twelve o'clock last night, what's the matter?" With the "creak" of the iron door, a girl wearing a white T-shirt on the upper body and short blue jeans on the lower body opened the door.
"Who are you"! "Who are you looking for"! The girl was disturbed by her dream early in the morning, and immediately attacked Zhang Shuling angrily.
"You... Good"! "I'm Sun Yuzhe's friend, you're Alan!" "Sun Yuzhe asked me to help him return this pot of orchids to you!" Zhang Shuling looked at Alan in front of him, who was not easy to mess with, and said embarrassedly.
"What an orchid"! "What Sun Yuzhe"! "I don't know, let's go"! "Otherwise, I will warn you to disturb the people"! Alan said angrily.
"It's... Sun Yuzhe"! "Orchid"! "How could you not recognize each other"? "He said he promised you to return the orchid to you after you rescued it, and said that he was very happy to meet you as a friend." Zhang Shuling looked at Alan who didn't recognize Sun Yuzhe and said anxiously.
"Humph"! "I, Alain, am an uneducated and uncultivated person, how can I know such a young master"! "How can such a young master be friends with someone like me, you go quickly"! Alain gave the order to evict the guests and slammed the iron door shut.
And in the iron gate, Alain, but squatted down and cried silently, she was almost bullied by the boss a month ago, she broke the boss's head, and she was also beaten by the boss and went to the hospital with a blue nose and swollen face. In the hospital, she met a person named Sun Yuzhe, who was about the same age as him, but his knowledge, cultivation, family... It's so much better than yourself! It seems that Alain is becoming more and more inferior. But that man was like the sun, giving Alain warmth. She had never felt such warmth in a person, and he took the initiative to talk to Alain and look at Alain's withered orchid. couldn't bear her orchid to wither and die, so he proposed to take the initiative to take care of the pot of orchids. They also became friends because of this pot of orchids. But he didn't know that Alain was actually very good at raising orchids. I just want to borrow orchids to become friends with him... He also thought that Alain really didn't know how to take care of orchids. That person is always so kind, so warm and warm. But I'm just a mouse in the gutter, how can I be friends with someone like that. Alan has done all kinds of bad things, taken drugs, had abortions... He is so unbearable, what qualifications do he have to be friends with such a person like the sun, and it is not a shame for him that she has a friend like herself. So just now when Zhang Shuling took the pot of orchids and returned them to her, she said that she didn't know Sun Yuzhe, and she was embarrassed to take the pot of orchids back, although she knew and was happy with Sun Yuzhe in the hospital, but when she returned to reality, she felt that she was not worthy of being his friend, because she had low self-esteem. She thought that people like Sun Yuzhe would not be friends with him, he was just acting on the spot, and the hospital incident was regarded as a dream! Therefore, she was discharged from the hospital and never went to see Sun Yuzhe, and Sun Yuzhe should have forgotten her a long time ago, but she didn't expect it... This shows that she Alain is ruthless and unrighteous.
"Alain"! "Thank you"! The boy's voice came from nowhere.
Alain stopped crying, stood up, wiped tears from his eyes, and searched for the familiar voice.
I saw that the young man named Sun Yuzhe slowly showed his figure in front of Alan and said, "Alan"! "I promised you, I will return that pot of orchids to you after I rescued it, and now I have done it, thank you"! "My only good friend"! "I'm leaving—" The boy smiled and said his last words to Alain, before turning into a sky of green fireflies, surrounding Alain, and then vanished.
Alain, who was already in tears at this moment, opened the iron door crying, and watched the fireflies disappear in front of his eyes. And the vibrant orchid outside the house smiled at her like Sun Yuzhe's smiling face.
Alain cried and picked up the pot of orchids, and tears fell on the petals of the orchid. muttered to himself: "Sun Yuzhe"! "My good friend"! "Thank you"!
While watching from the sidelines, Alan picked up the Lan of her friendship with Sun Yuzhe, and Zhang Shuling also smiled slightly.
But he didn't know that a man dressed in black, flying with huge black wings behind him, hovered over Zhang Shuling, watching him.
And Lao Bai, who was sleeping at home, suddenly noticed something, and said fiercely with green eyes: "Uninvited guest, are you coming"!
