Chapter 347: Visiting the Sick
In the past two days, Yan Shu has not seen the police again.
Mr. Sun's case does not seem to need his and Lu Ziqi's testimony.
They were also unable to provide much testimony.
What the hell, what a phoenix, no one believes it.
Their age makes this claim even less credible.
Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi discussed it several times in private. The two of them have the same experience, they are completely a pair of difficult brothers, and they have experienced these bad things together. The two were originally good brothers and had similar views on many things. At this moment, when they discussed, both of them felt that they had been saved by the phoenix.
The two big boys had a whim, and according to the routines of those thrillers and ghost movies, they groped for an investigation.
Yan Shu can't be discharged from the hospital yet, Lu Ziqi has been discharged from the hospital, and it's more convenient than Yan Shu. He really did a little reliable investigation, stayed in the Yaocheng library for most of the day, and read some local history of Yaocheng with difficulty.
Although the Internet is convenient, the information that can be found on the Internet is really limited.
The library is where the most materials are accumulated.
Especially this kind of thing, local history.
Yaocheng said that it is not big, it is not small, but some trivial records of ancient times must not be on the textbook, nor can it be on the well-known monographs of the tome, although Yaocheng is doing various database work, but it is not yet the turn of ancient books such as local history. Local reporters don't seem to be interested in this, and they do special reports, mostly reporting on the content after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the things before the founding of the People's Republic of China are hastily mentioned. Those experts and scholars don't seem to have specialized in the local history of Yaocheng, and they have also published papers.
Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi carefully pondered for a while, confirming that they couldn't find the information that had been formed, and they couldn't find the old man to ask, so they could only flip through some ancient books by themselves.
Before they investigated, the two discussed a conjecture, the so-called investigation, but to confirm something.
The two originally thought that this should be a very simple matter. It's like the protagonist in those film and television dramas, you can find clues by flipping through books in the library.
"Did you find it?" Yan Shu lay on the hospital bed and asked Lu Ziqi, who came to visit him.
Lu Ziqi made a bitter face, "That book can't be borrowed." The library only lent me a revised copy, which I could only read in their reading room. The original Placebook is not available. The map can only be found when the country was first founded, and no matter how far away, there are boxes on it, and nothing is written on it. ”
"A photocopy will do." Yan Shu said, "It's okay if the content is the same." If you can't find the map, forget it. ”
said so, but Yan Shu still felt pity.
In film and television dramas, people directly take an ancient map, compare it with a modern map, draw a circle, and find a place, how convenient.
Lu Ziqi couldn't help but be embarrassed, "You haven't seen that book, it's all ancient texts, and the punctuation marks are not complete." I look struggling. The characters are all in traditional Chinese. There are also variants. "He complained about a lot of things in bits and pieces. These are all problems he encountered in the process of reading.
Fortunately, the two are now high school students, have a certain amount of knowledge, and are still training every day. Two years earlier or two years later, if they want to understand these things, they have to review them from the beginning.
Lu Ziqi's grades are average, and he can still look at the ancient texts in the Chinese textbook, only a few words that he saw in the article for the first time, and he didn't understand the meaning, but after reading it a few times, he could always guess a rough idea. It's easier to say that the whole text is understood. What's more, the ancient texts in the textbooks have titles and background notes, and those great writers have wonderful writings, no matter how gorgeous the writing is, the main idea of the whole text has been directly refined by the old men and women of the textbook writing committee.
This is not the case at all with real ancient books.
There is such a thing as local history, Lu Ziqi has never been in contact with it before.
When he went to the library to inquire, his heart was worried, and the staff at the service desk looked at him a little strangely after listening to his request. There are very few people who will borrow this kind of book. In Yaocheng, there are only a few people who study local history. And the local history of Yaocheng has not yet reached the point where the national-level bigwigs can study it wholeheartedly. This is also the reason why Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi could not find systematic information.
Lu Ziqi couldn't find a reference, couldn't find a teacher, couldn't find any annotations, so he could only hold the ancient dictionary that the Chinese teacher asked him to buy after entering high school, and read it with difficulty.
"Can't you just look for the word phoenix?" Yan Shu hated that iron could not become steel, and felt that Lu Ziqi was stupid.
"There's no electronic version, I can find it by scanning it with my eyes? And it doesn't have to be a phoenix. Phoenix has many other names. Lu Ziqi retorted.
There is a lot of truth to that.
Yan Shu stopped talking.
The two looked at each other and fell silent.
"If you can't find it, you can't find it. I don't want to look for it. You didn't see the book, I was dizzy when I read it. Lu Ziqi complained.
If you look at the book of heaven, you can't understand it at all, and the text is no different from the graphics. But if you have to read some half-understood articles carefully, you really have to rack your brains to think. Lu Ziqi looked at it for a while, and felt that his brain was overused and he couldn't bear it.
Yan Shu has no good way.
Let him do it, he can't do it better than Lu Ziqi.
They are only now realizing that it is not so easy to learn from the protagonists of film and television dramas to investigate. Especially in a country with such a long history, even if the inheritance of writing has not been broken, there is always a way to read ancient books from a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago, but that method is too difficult for the two students with mediocre qualifications.
"It's useless to find it. It has saved us. Teacher...... Teacher Sun is dead...... Her son is also dead......" Lu Ziqi said in a low voice.
Yan Shu knew in his heart that what Lu Ziqi said was right, but he was unwilling. In his subconscious, there is also a mood of impatience.
"If our guess is correct, Yaocheng is really blessed by the phoenix, why did the phoenix only save us? Teacher Sun is so miserable......" Yan Shu said.
"Who knows? Do you think that you are the protagonist of the life, and from now on you are going to get the golden finger? Lu Ziqi looked at Yan Shu and said in surprise, "Anyway, we are all saved, and the murderer is gone, is it enough?" ”
Lu Ziqi himself is not deeply involved in this matter. The most important thing is that except for being taken to death by Yan Shu in the end, and coming to an adventure on the line of life and death, he didn't see anything strange. What happened that day was almost like a nightmare for him. He doesn't have much realism.
Yan Shu really saw Teacher Sun's ghost, and saw it many times.
He doesn't feel like he's the main character, on the contrary, he feels like he's an unlucky runaway. Seeing a ghost, being targeted, getting involved in an incident, and almost dying...... It's all a trick. Even if it's the protagonist's life, how many of the protagonists of ghost movies survive to the end?
Yan Shu said in a low voice: "There is another person." Do you remember? We came out of the elevator and the guy in the hallway who opened the door. ”
Yan Shu said that it was the strange man dressed as a housekeeper.
Lu Ziqi said reluctantly, "He may have been picked up by the phoenix." ”
Yan Shu just stared at Lu Ziqi and saw that he was furious in his heart.
Lu Ziqi is also scared now.
If one does slip through the net, they are likely to be in danger again.
"What if I see a ghost again?" Yan Shu said again.
Lu Ziqi only understood Yan Shu's plan at this time.
Yan Shu wanted to find a thigh to hug.
Lu Ziqi thought about it.
"And we were saved, isn't this something we should wish for?" Yan Shu said as if he were playful.
Lu Ziqi couldn't cry or laugh, "Do you want to repay your vow?" ”
"Yes." Yan Shu wasn't sure, "It's better to get some tribute than to do nothing, right?" I was thinking about looking for it. Anyway, after searching the map, there is no Phoenix Temple in the temple in Yaocheng. ”
"I've looked for it, but I can't find it." Lu Ziqi sighed helplessly.
He looked for some maps in the library, but couldn't find them.
"Probably not by that name."
"I haven't heard of any temple worshipping phoenixes. The most famous in Yaocheng is the Guanyin Temple, which does not enshrine the phoenix. ”
"So I'm still going to have to look for it."
The two of them stared at each other.
"Okay." Lu Ziqi gave up, "When will you be discharged from the hospital?" You can come with me to the library and see if you can read it. ”
Those books really tortured Lu Ziqi enough.
Yan Shu also had a headache, "The doctor said that he still needs to do an examination." My mom wasn't at ease. ”
As the two were talking, they heard dense footsteps at the door, as well as familiar voices.
Zhang Yihao's big head quickly poked in, and he looked at Yan Shu with a smile, "Yan Shu, we're here to visit." ”
He was followed by Feng Xiao, the class leader, and a few male classmates who were familiar with them.
Teacher Sun's class representative, Yang Huihui, walked at the back, and her face was not very good-looking.
The only two girls carried two colorful paper cranes, while the boys carried milk and fruit.
Yan Shu hurriedly sat up straight and beckoned a few people.
Lu Ziqi got up, gave up his position, and also commanded the people to put those gifts away.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Yihao asked grinningly, "When will I be discharged from the hospital?" ”
"Come on. The body is nothing. There are so many tests to be done in the hospital. Yan Shu said.
Feng Xiao, the squad leader, handed a bag of homework papers to Yan Shu very beautifully.
Zhang Yihao laughed again.
Yan Shu could only take it with a bitter face.
"I made a copy of the notes, and they were in there. The teachers didn't say you should turn in the assignment. Some of the answers have already been explained in class, and I have made a copy of the answers in it. Feng Xiao was conscientious.
The homework answers she copied were all found with the best grades in the class, and the problem-solving process was similar to the standard answers. Some also record other methods of solving problems that the teacher explained in class.
Yan Shu thanked him again and again.
"The thousand paper cranes bought the materials before, and the girls in the class folded some ......," Feng Xiao continued, his expression gloomy.
This was originally intended for Teacher Sun, but Yan Shu proposed that Feng Xiao do it in order to find an excuse.
"We discussed it at the class meeting, these will be hung for you first, and after you are discharged from the hospital, we will send Teacher Sun together, and these will be given to Teacher Sun." Feng Xiao's voice was low.
The atmosphere in the hospital room became oppressive.
Although the police did not find the body and did not go to the school to announce the incident with great fanfare, after the rumors spread for a while, the students knew that Ms. Sun had passed away, and it was very likely that her son had killed and abandoned her body.
is Zhang Yihao, who used to complain about Teacher Sun, and he won't smile anymore.
He also met with Mr. Sun's ghost, and now he is a little worried and a little embarrassed.
When a person dies like a lamp goes out, all things related to Mr. Sun are over.
Zhang Yihao and Mr. Sun don't have many grievances that can't be resolved, and that little bit of scheming was supposed to end when he graduated, but now it ended in another way, ahead of schedule.
Yan Shu heard a soft inhalation.
He looked at Yang Huihui behind the crowd.
As the representative of Teacher Sun's class, she is the student who has the most contact with Teacher Sun on weekdays. She is also a good student herself, with good academic performance and a serious attitude in class. A student like Zhang Yihao will be reprimanded by Teacher Sun, but she has never experienced that kind of thing, so her impression of Teacher Sun is still preferred. Girls are already prone to sentimentality. Thinking of the people she used to see before, suddenly gone, her heart was empty.
She was still a little scared.
Teacher Sun did not die of illness, not of an accident, but of murder.
This incident is also a thorn in the hearts of the whole class, and even the whole school.
It's far away, it's far away, it's so far away that something you only see on TV suddenly appears around you. The closest people raise a butcher's knife against you, and you don't even have a chance to resist. This kind of thing is really terrible.
At the same time, bad news came into the school, and Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi were attacked.
You know, it was supposed to be a group of them who went to visit Teacher Sun. If it weren't for Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi's undisciplined eyes and running to visit the sick first, they might have been attacked.
Yang Huihui was terrified.
She didn't need to visit the patient today, but she came here because of this.
Seeing Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi, who were fine, she let go of her fear a lot, and changed her mind, feeling a little more sad about Teacher Sun's death.
Feng Xiao comfortingly hugged Yang Huihui's shoulder.
Zhang Yihao didn't quite adapt to this environment, coughed dryly, and changed the topic: "Your ward is good." Single room? Are you the only one? ”
Yan Shu nodded.
This was the ward that the two high-ranking police officers had changed for him that day.
The strange man who claimed to be a relative of Mr. Sun's family has not been seen since.
Yan Shu only realized at this time that he must find out about the phoenix, in fact, there are some reasons related to that man.
He intuitively felt that Mr. Sun's matter was not over yet.
Teacher Sun is gone, and her son is gone, but there may be a mastermind behind this incident.
Yan Shu thought of this, and his face was not very good-looking.
"It's good." Zhang Yihao nodded, not knowing what to say.
He wanted to ask about Teacher Sun, but this scene didn't seem to be suitable for asking about it.
Anyway, Teacher Sun must be gone, so it should be fine, right?
Zhang Yihao thought passingly. His mother took him to Guanyin Temple several times to worship. After knowing about this incident, his mother also gave Teacher Sun several sticks of incense in the Guanyin Temple.
Others don't know what to say either.
Recently, the biggest thing in the school is the killing of Teacher Sun and the attack on Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi. Lu Ziqi has returned to school and has experienced the mouthful of those blind guys. Zhang Yihao asked him, he snorted haha, and he was confused, not daring to mention that he and Yan Shu suddenly crossed over and landed at Teacher Sun's house from the corridor of the office building, nor did he dare to mention other strange phenomena.
Lu Ziqi felt that when he said this kind of thing, either people didn't believe it, or he was making trouble for himself.
ran into a wall with Lu Ziqi a few times, and now only a few nervous people will come to ask, and everyone else is silent.
Now in the face of Yan Shu's patient, none of their classmates who visit the patient do not know the measure.
Zhang Yihao can only idle some things. There's nothing going on in school, it's available online. There are new hot searches on the Internet at both ends in three days, and celebrity gossip is also one after another. Zhang Yihao only pays attention to sports news, which team has changed, advanced, lost the game, and casually talked nonsense, which also changed the atmosphere back.
A few boys gradually forgot the purpose of visiting the patient, and Yan Shu was also in a relaxed mood and chatted with everyone.
Yang Huihui and Feng Xiao stood aside. She was in a much better mood, secretly wiped away her tears, and was no longer sad.
Everyone was happy, like in school recess.
Feng Xiao saw the nurse walking outside the door.
"You students, be quiet. This is a hospital ward, and the patients are all recuperating. The nurse kept a straight face.
A few of the older boys immediately shut up.
The nurse nodded with satisfaction, "Be careful about the visiting time, not too long." With that, the nurse turned and left.
She almost collided with a man next to her, and subconsciously took a step back.
The man smiled apologetically and made way for the nurse. He didn't go any further, didn't pass in front of the door of the room, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned and followed the nurse a few steps.
He walked past the nurse and went straight out of the hallway, but he didn't go far.
After turning into the emergency stairwell in the hallway, he stopped.
"Tsk...... There are so many people at this time. Niu Haixi said dissatisfiedly, took out his mobile phone to check the time, and glanced at the corridor.
After a while, he waited for a group of men and women who looked like students to pass by.
He reorganized his appearance, put on his usual work expression, walked out of the emergency staircase, and walked towards the ward area.
