The wheelchair is moving forward on the ground, and the caregiver pushing the wheelchair has to shout from time to time to ask the person in front of him to give way.

Entering the doctor's office in the emergency department, the nurse skillfully pushed the wheelchair to the desk and handed the various test reports to the doctor.

The young doctor I had seen before pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, quickly scanned the reports, and had some doubts in his heart, "The fracture is more serious, and the body is not very good...... Have you been busy and stressed lately? "The brain is fine, and the previous mental trance does not seem to be caused by organ pathology. The young doctor thought so and looked at Xu Hongcai.

Xu Hongcai pointed his head at the doctor, his head was full of cold sweat, and his hands holding the armrests of the wheelchair were bruised, and the whole person was in a state of tension.

The doctor was even more surprised, "Sir, are you alright?" What else is wrong with you? He lowered his head slightly, wanting to see Xu Hongcai's face clearly, and glanced at the report in his hand.

"Is there a problem with the heart?" The doctor asked again.

The report shows that the heart is fine. The heart rate is a little too fast, but it's still within an acceptable range.

Xu Hongcai did not answer. He didn't actually hear the doctor's voice at all.

The words of the young girl on the other side of the building filled his mind.

The doctor reached out and gently nudged Xu Hongcai, "Do you have your family's contact information?" Can I call your family? He said as he winked at the nurse.

A vicious case occurred in the Third People's Court not long ago.

Deaths are the norm in hospitals, and there are always patients who die in the hospital who cannot be saved. But vicious cases are not the norm.

The three hospitals held several internal meetings, asked the police for help, made a lot of plans for the complex internal environment of the hospital, did short-term training for all the staff in the hospital, and increased the number of security guards.

The caregivers have also been trained, so at least they know that they should go to the security guard to see what is going on. He didn't go outside, took out his mobile phone, and called the security guard on duty to the emergency department, "...... Trouble sending someone to the emergency room, office 3 ......"

"Three ......" Xu Hongcai's lips moved.

"What?" The doctor didn't dare to approach, but he asked.

"Three Hospitals ......"

"Yes, we're here in the Third Courtyard." The doctor tiptoed to the ground, and the chair shifted to the other side of the desk. He picked up the landline on the table and pressed the internal number, "This is the emergency department, office three, and now there is a patient here, please come over and take a look at it." Well...... The inspection was done, and the person didn't seem to be ......."

"Three Houses. Third Hospital," Xu Hongcai's voice was a little louder, "Yin Shikang." ”

The doctor and the nurse all looked at Xu Hongcai.

"Do you know the doctor here? Your previous doctor's name was Yin Shikang? The doctor asked Xu Hongcai, and then said the name to the person on the other end of the phone, "Is there a doctor Yin in your department, named Yin Shikang?" Didn't you? The doctor frowned, remembering the suitcase Xu Hongcai brought with him when he came to the emergency department, "You're from out of town, right?" Is it a doctor who is seen at a hospital in another place? ”

Xu Hongcai did not answer.

"Are you looking for Uncle Kang?"

The little girl's sweet voice, accompanied by her pretty face, appeared directly in front of Xu Hongcai.

This little girl didn't have as many worries as the young doctor, and almost put her face on Xu Hongcai's face.

Xu Hongcai leaned back in fright, staring at the little girl who bent down in front of him in horror.

He barely lifted his breath, and his pale face turned red in an instant.

"It doesn't matter to you, does it? What's wrong? The young doctor's heart was furious.

He had been in the emergency department for a while, but he had never met a psychopath. In school, he had studied psychiatric treatment, but when he put the things on paper into reality, he was still a little uncomfortable when he saw a patient with severe mental fluctuations. The content of the previous safety training made him a little more vigilant.

The little girl stood up straight and looked at Xu Hongcai, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt anyone." Those ghosts that harm people will be captured by black and white impermanence. She made a cute gesture and showed a friendly smile.

Xu Hongcai saw that the other party was no different from a living person, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, he wouldn't have regarded the lively little girl in front of him as a ghost at all.

If it weren't for his previous experience, if it was such a little girl he had seen for the first time, he wouldn't be afraid of ghosts.

Xu Hong thought of this and calmed down a lot.

"I, I'm looking for Yin Shikang." At the beginning of the words, Xu Hongcai's mood became anxious, and he wanted to say something, but he saw the little girl stretch out her finger and make a silent movement.

The patients queuing at the door were pushed out of the way, and a man in a security uniform walked in, followed by a white lab coat.

Xu Hongcai turned back along the little girl's line of sight, and when he saw the person coming, he also heard the whispers at the door.

“…… I think it's a mental illness. ”

"It's a little scary. Didn't there be a psychopath here in the Third Hospital who escaped and killed someone before? ”

"Won't it?"

It was only then that Xu Hong realized how much misunderstanding his previous strange behavior would cause.

He kept his mouth shut, and didn't choose to clarify.

How can this be clarified?

There were so many people inside and outside the office, and he was the only one who saw the little girl.

"What's the situation now?" Psychiatric doctors are much more courageous, mainly experienced.

The young doctor explained the situation, and the psychiatric doctor began to consult Xu Hongcai.

Xu Hongcai couldn't help it, and glanced at the little girl who retreated to the corner of the room.

"Don't try to make excuses to deceive Director Zhang, he's very powerful." The little girl smiled, "Just tell him the truth, just don't talk about ghosts." ”

Xu Hongcai thought about it and followed the little girl's advice.

"Yin Shikang from our hospital? There are quite a lot of staff in our hospital...... What is he doing in our hospital? Director Zhang was very kind, chatting with Xu Hongcai, and didn't treat him as mentally ill at all.

"I don't know. That's what I've heard. That's all I could think about just now. Xu Hongcai lowered his head.

"That's right. You've broken your foot, right? How are you going to get this? Director Zhang changed the subject.

The young doctor said: "The fracture is more serious, and I need surgery." ”

"Then it's better to be admitted to our department first and ask the orthopedic department to come for consultation." Director Zhang proposed.

Xu Hongcai wanted to refuse.

He's already come to the Third Courtyard to deliver the word, can he leave now?

Director Zhang didn't dare to let Xu Hongcai out casually.

Xu Hongcai didn't show aggression at this time, just whispered, but who knows what his mental state is?

"Aren't you still looking for someone in our hospital? In the past few days in the hospital, I'll help you ask this person named Yin Shikang. ”

Director Zhang had no idea what he had promised.

Xu Hongcai was frightened again when he heard this, and shook his head desperately.

"Can your family get in touch?"

"My wife is out of town."

"Can you call her? Is it okay for me to talk to her? "Director Zhang has a headache.

Xu Hongcai didn't want to implicate his wife.

It's bad enough for him to hit a ghost alone, do you have to drag the whole family into the water?

"You're going to be hospitalized. Don't worry, it's going to be fine. The ghosts in the hospital are all good ghosts. The little girl was there to help, but after saying this, she paused strangely for a few seconds before she continued, "Our ghosts here are good ghosts. ”

Xu Hongcai vaguely realized something.

After a stalemate, he was pushed to the inpatient unit by the nurse.

On the way, I also took a photo with the middle-aged man I saw before.

The middle-aged man didn't think about it, so he greeted Xu Hongcai, and was pinched by his wife, and his smiling face turned into embarrassment.

Xu Hongcai realized something in a vague way.

He was still in poor mental condition and his brain was not clear enough.

Waiting for others to lie on the hospital bed, leaning on soft pillows and mattresses, Xu Hongcai's body relaxed, and his spirit relaxed all of a sudden.

He silently thought in his heart that he couldn't sleep, and his fear was vague, like a bear child who would pop out from time to time and be scared, but in the end he still couldn't beat the sleepiness.

Xu Hongcai fell asleep.

He didn't dream, but his body seemed to be stuck in a dark mire, not only did he not see a ray of light, but he also had difficulty moving. He didn't feel suffocated, but his uneasiness grew.

Memories come back, and details that had not been noticed before replay in the mind.

He remembered the scene when he had spoken to the little girl, and he "saw" some people he hadn't noticed before—the patients and their families sitting in the back;

He remembered what the onlookers had said when he came to see the doctor—"...... Mentally ill...... killed someone ......";

He remembered the strange look in the eyes of the young doctors, the nurses, and the security guards who came in behind him;

He remembered what the little girl had said—"Our ghosts here are good ghosts." ”；

There are also changes in middle-aged people......

The picture was finally frozen in the community, on the girl's anxious and helpless face.

Xu Hong woke up.

He connected those things all at once, and realized where he was now.

"You're awake."

Xu Hongcai turned his head suddenly.

It was dark, and the lights in the ward were as bright as day.

Xu Hongcai's hospital room is a single room, with a cramped space but very quiet.

The door to the ward was closed, and only the white corridor wall could be seen outside the small window of the door.

Outside, I don't know from which ward, the sound of the instrument is constantly being heard.

Xu Hongcai looked at the old man sitting by the bed.

The old man was not wearing a white coat or a nurse's uniform.

Xu Hongcai wanted to sit up, but suddenly found that his body was trapped by the restraint belt.

He panicked, and for a moment he thought of a lot of folk rumors.

What happens to normal people in a mental hospital?

Xu Hongcai struggled.

"Don't be nervous. This is a routine operation on the psychiatric side. You fell asleep when you were sent here, and there was no family to accompany you, so I helped you put on a restraint belt first. You can feel the pager at hand, press it, and the nurse will come over. The doctor will assess your mental condition, and if there is no problem, these things will not be used. The old man patiently explained, "You came in from the emergency department, and you can't tell you anything about it, so you can only just be in case." Thank you for your understanding. ”

This explanation is like the words of a hospital worker.

Xu Hongcai's fingers moved, and sure enough, he touched the button of the pager, and the original tension dissipated a lot.

He rang the bell, heard the music prompt, and the nervousness dissipated a little.

After a while, a nurse pushed the door and came in, "Woke up?" How do you feel now? ”

"I want to drink water. Hungry. Xu Hongcai replied honestly, looking at the nurse worriedly.

"It's past dinner time. You don't have dependents, do you? Will you order takeout? If it doesn't work, I'll call the nurse and you can ask the nurse to get something to eat. The nurse said as she made a note in the notebook at the bedside.

"I can order takeout, and my mobile phone is ...... in my pocket" Xu Hong found that he had been changed into a hospital gown at some point.

"Your clothes are in the closet. I brought the suitcase with me. The nurse said, "I'll call the doctor to come over, and when the doctor sees it, you'll be able to get up." Lie down for a while. She said, took the pen, and went out.

Xu Hongcai sighed, looked at the ceiling, remembered the old man again, and turned his head to look.

The old man was still sitting in the chair, with a smile on his face, and said kindly: "Don't worry, if you are fine, you will not be tested for mental illness." Nowadays, people are under a little more mental pressure and behave a little wrong, which is regarded as mental illness. Actually, it's not that serious. Hospitals don't just lock people up. It's time to take medicine, it's time to regulate, and it's good to rest. ”

Xu Hongcai smiled bitterly and didn't answer.

"It doesn't matter if you say you see a ghost." The old man spoke amazingly.

Xu Hongcai's eyes widened.

"In recent years, there have been many people who engage in feudal superstition. You're not too young...... There was also a child before, a teenager, who believed in foreign tarot cards and crystal balls, and stole tens of thousands of yuan from the family. Her parents don't understand either, when a child's brain is broken, they send people here to see a doctor......"

Before the old man finished speaking, the doctor came in, and there were more than a dozen people, led by Director Zhang, whom Xu Hong had just met, and followed by all of them seemed to be little doctors.

There were white coats standing around the hospital bed, which made Xu Hongcai nervous all of a sudden.

Director Zhang saw Xu Hongcai's nervousness, smiled and comforted a few words, and began the diagnosis of the routine process.

Xu Hongcai has never seen a psychiatric department, and his family has never been to a psychiatric department, so he has no experience in this matter. He could only answer every question asked by Director Zhang nervously, worrying in his heart whether he would be diagnosed with mental illness. After thinking about it, he remembered the old man's words, and subconsciously went to look for the old man's figure.

The old man didn't know where he was being squeezed by the doctors, and he couldn't see anyone at all.

"What are you looking for?" Director Zhang carefully observed Xu Hongcai without a trace.

This is not the first time Xu Hongcai has shown the wandering of his gaze. It's clearly not just a matter of avoiding eye contact, or some kind of habit of speaking.

Director Zhang could see that Xu Hongcai's sight was targeted.

"...... just now" Xu Hongcai blurted out two words, and then shut up.

His face turned pale, and his sluggish brain had already reacted to the suspicions in the old man.

That...... I'm afraid it's not human.

That's why you can naturally say "ghost".

Xu Hongcai didn't dare to look for the old man's figure anymore, lowered his eyelids, and stopped looking around.

Director Zhang frowned, "Don't be afraid, you tell me what happened just now?" ”

The little doctors who were watching and studying were also staring at Xu Hongcai.

Xu Hongcai thought about it, mustered up his courage, and raised his eyes to look at Director Zhang, "I just saw an old man, a man, an old man, sitting on a chair here. As soon as I woke up, I saw him, and he told me that I was asleep, and you didn't worry, so you tied me up or something...... It seems to be a person in the hospital......"

"That's right." Director Zhang groaned and looked to his side.

A doctor who was followed by Director Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "No, there was no one in the room when we came in, and there were no nurses left here." ”

Director Zhang understood and looked at Xu Hongcai, "Have you seen that old man before?" Is it the person you said you were talking about when you were in the emergency room? ”

Xu Hong just wanted to shake his head, but he was stunned.

Be...... Yin Shikang?

The little girl shouted "Uncle Kang", Yin Shikang should be a man of some age......

"Do you remember what you said in the emergency room?" Director Zhang asked.

Xu Hongcai nodded.

"Can you tell me who that Yin Shikang is?"

"I don't know." Xu Hongcai's voice was a little flustered, "It's the place I rented, there was a girl in that community, a college student, maybe, she asked me to go to the Third Courtyard to find Yin Shikang." ”

"That girl is your neighbor?"

"No, it's across the street. Last night......" The blood on Xu Hongcai's face receded.

"What happened last night?"

Xu Hongcai did not answer.

"I'll help you get your phone, can you call your family?" Director Zhang asked again.

Xu Hongcai still didn't react, but showed strong resistance.

"Did you quarrel with your family?"

"It's not. Don't get her involved. Xu Hongcai said bluntly.

"Can you tell me where the neighborhood you just talked about?" Director Zhang said again.

Xu Hongcai did not refuse this time and reported the name of the community.

"Has something happened in the neighborhood lately?"

Xu Hongcai was silent.

"What's going on in the neighborhood?"

"Did you have an incident, or did that girl have an incident?"

Xu Hongcai still didn't answer, and the next second he realized that these two questions were asked by two people.

Xu Hongcai remembered the voice of the previous question.

The old man's voice.

Xu Hongcai held his breath and slowly exhaled. He looked up, and saw that the old man had somehow stepped over the white wall formed by the doctor and appeared beside the bed.

The old man looked at him with a serious face, without the kindness he had just had.

"I'm the Yin Shikang you're looking for. The community and the girl you are talking about should be someone I know...... Ghost. Yin Shikang said.

A head poked out from behind him, it was the little girl Xu Hong had just seen in the emergency room.

The little girl looked at Xu Hongcai worriedly and anxiously, "What's wrong with Xiaoqiu?" Hurry up! ”

Xu Hongcai seemed to have figured out something, didn't look at Director Zhang, who frowned and turned his head, and only said to Yin Shikang: "There is an old woman in the community, she is killing people, no, she is killing ghosts...... Last night, non-stop...... Keep ......" Speaking of this, Xu Hongcai fought tooth to tooth.

Yin Shikang's face changed, and he turned his head and threw down a sentence, "You take care of him, I'll go find Black and White Impermanence." As soon as the words fell, Yin Shikang's figure disappeared into the ward.

The little girl's body trembled. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders, "Hmm...... It's okay...... Yesterday the winter solstice, the winter solstice has passed...... Xiaoqiu can escape......"

Xu Hongcai looked at the little girl biting her lip, and the fear in his body seemed to be sucked away by the little girl and transferred to her.

"Mr. Xu." Director Zhang called Xu Hongcai's name, "Don't be afraid. Did you call the police last night? ”

Xu Hongcai came back to his senses, smiled bitterly at Director Zhang, and shook his head.

"Don't worry. Our hospital is connected to the police. Director Zhang persuaded and motioned to the doctor next to him to let Xu Hongcai go, "You haven't eaten for a day, have you?" Hungry or not? Do you want to drink water? ”

Xu Hongcai nodded.

"If you want something, tell Xiao Liu directly. Xiao Liu is your bedside doctor, you can find him for anything. Don't be afraid. In the hospital, you are safe. Director Zhang reassured.

Xu Hongcai looked at the little girl who was squatting on the ground.

Director Zhang followed his line of sight and didn't ask anything.

After arranging for Dr. Liu to take care of Xu Hongcai, Director Zhang took his students out of the ward.

Dr. Xiao Liu's personality is somewhat similar to Director Zhang, and he patiently helped Xu Hongcai fetch water, ordered takeout, and talked to him.

Xu Hongcai thought about what Yin Shikang said just now, and didn't pay much attention to what Dr. Liu said.

When the takeaway was delivered, Xu Hong finished eating, and Dr. Liu finished packing up his things before leaving the ward.

The little girl was still leaning against the corner of the bed, and at some point, she tied the restraint strap at the corner of the bed to her hand.

"You...... You okay? Xu Hongcai asked tentatively.

"Xiao Liu is very good, his medical skills are also very good, and he is Director Zhang's doctoral student." The little girl whispered, "He took care of you before, and talking to you was also part of the visit. You can take care of your own life, your logic is fine, and nothing will happen. Soon, you should be able to be discharged from the hospital. Over there in the community...... That old woman had made trouble before, the police dealt with it, and the police knew. ”

"I called the police before. ...... a few days ago," Xu Hongcai said.

"Then it's even more fine. Director Zhang will treat you when you are scared. You're really scared, too. Stay in the hospital for a few days...... Oh, and your foot, if the surgery is done, you should be discharged. You may be prescribed some medication. You can take the medicine or not. Calming pills, take a little after being scared, it's okay, and it may make you a little more comfortable. ”

"You...... You okay? Xu Hongcai observed the little girl's appearance.

The little girl raised her head and smiled at Xu Hongcai, "I'm sorry to scare you." Ghosts are like that. ”

"Are you going to sit on the bed?"

"No need to ......"

"Lighter ......"

Xu Hongcai looked at the door of the ward suspiciously.

The little girl said, "Don't be afraid, she won't hurt anyone." He muttered again, "Chen Xidu has come to the hospital." Sure enough, the winter solstice has passed......"

Xu Hongcai understood the hidden meaning of these words, and his heart tightened.

He wanted to run away again.

Sure enough, it shouldn't have been here.

Let's find a way to get out of the hospital quickly.
