The Eighth People's Hospital is heavily guarded, and after the rain, the afternoon of November has a cool feeling of late autumn. This is the most famous psychiatric hospital in S Province, which cares for tens of thousands of mentally ill patients in the city and even in the country. In recent years, social unrest has caused too many people to have a nervous breakdown due to stress, and the suicide rate has also reached a peak.

Driving two hours to the outskirts of the city, Lin Yi took a deep breath, the huge courtyard gate in front of him was locked with iron chains, there was no one around, the withered yellow fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground, and the wind blew through the small whirlpools and floated up, under the sun, the hospital actually looked a little ghostly.

Lin Yi still remembers the scene when he first came here.

At that time, Lu Xiao was already seriously delirious, and he was already grief-stricken, and his wife refused to eat for several days, skinny, every day she was either talking nonsense, or crying wildly, when she was mild, her lips were white, tears were like rain, and when she was seriously ill, she seemed to be stunned, muttering in her mouth to kill the demon who took away her daughter. Lin Yi was exhausted by the torture, and finally he chose to end the pain and torture caused by his wife here........

His wife's attending physician is said to have returned from overseas and is an internationally renowned expert in schizophrenia treatment, and he received his wife in a friendly manner, as well as a large amount of hospital expenses.

Lin Yi sent his wife here two months ago, and it was also a stormy night, and for Lin Yi, Lu Xiao was already "terminally ill" at that time. That night, it seemed that because of the sudden arrival of his wife, the whole hospital was awakened, and the dazzling lights streaked across the night sky, shining like a lone star on the outskirts of the deserted city. Lin Yi handled all kinds of procedures like a machine, even at night, the hospital was fully staffed and neat, and during his consultation, including seeing Dr. Han Ming, he did not see a single mentally ill patient.

Dr. Han Ming is over 50 years old and looks calm and reliable, with a tired professional smile on his face.

"When did you get this symptom?" This was the first question Dr. Han Ming asked Lin Yi.

"It's been a few months, since ...... Since......... Lin Yi choked up, and the next words made his heart ache sharply, and he couldn't say anything.

"Since your daughter died in a car accident?" Han Ming gently but decisively took over Lin Yi's words.

"Oh, that's the case, don't be surprised or afraid, we have already had contact and understanding with the Third Hospital when we accept patients, and it was Dr. Liu Huimin from the Third Hospital who recommended you to come here, right?"

Lin Yi frowned and tried hard to think about it, there have been too many things that have happened recently, but these things seem to be inseparable from the hospital, he thought of the female doctor who was as old as him, wore glasses, and worked in the neurology department of the third hospital.

"Yes, she recommended me here."

"Your wife, Lu Xiao, has suicidal tendencies and thoughts, right?" After getting confirmed, Han Ming took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Yes....... She, she didn't just have thoughts, she," each question asked by Dr. Han Ming was like a sharp knife, stabbing him in the chest one after another.

"She killed herself." Again, gently but decisively, he took over.

"Don't be too upset, don't blame yourself too much, we will try our best to stabilize your wife's mood and bring her back to normal, but before that, we need to know as much as we can about her recent condition, this is a normal procedure, I hope you can answer my questions honestly, so that it can be the most helpful in the treatment."

Han Ming's office was not big, he got up and walked over the table in front of him with computers, documents, and potted plants, and slapped Lin Yi on the shoulder twice.

"Yes, a week ago, he jumped from the upper floor," Lin Yi said here, choked up, and the tears finally couldn't be stopped, like a dam bursting from the embankment.

"She, she's not dead, she's alive, maybe God has eyes, maybe it's a miracle... I..... She's alive..... I ....." The cry made Lin Yi's words intermittent and incoherent.

The death of his daughter, his wife's madness, and everything dropped a bomb on the originally peaceful and peaceful family, Lin Yi first pretended to be strong and took care of the funeral for his daughter, with his wife and son behind him, he couldn't fall, although his heart was already grief-stricken; Then he struggled to take care of his sick wife, running from hospital to hospital, and during this time, he didn't leave a single tear, he felt as if he had become a robot, or maybe he had already gone mad. Until now, in front of this doctor, who had only seen him for the first time, on this stormy night, he could not cry in his strange office.

"I'm sorry," looking at the 1.8-meter-old strong man in front of him crying loudly at the moment, Han Ming's eyes were also a little red, "We will do our best to treat your wife, you ....."

Han Ming paused, "But I really hope you can stabilize your emotions,"

The closed windows of the office were suddenly blown open by the wind, and bean-sized raindrops came in.

Lin Yi casually touched the tears on his face, "I'm sorry, doctor, what else do you need to know?" As if he had just remembered something at this moment, Lin Yi looked around, and when he saw the closed office door, he asked, "And my wife, where did you take her?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, we have received the patient, now it is under control, we will arrange a ward for her, and some other life affairs, each of our wards has professional medical staff in charge of medicine and diet, you can rest assured."

Han Ming closed the window, the sound of the rain subsided, he took a cup of warm water from the water dispenser with a disposable paper cup, handed it to Lin Yi, and then asked:

"Is there anything unusual about your wife beyond that? For example, headaches, twitching of the limbs, facial spasms, confusion, and ........ speech Well, talk like a robot. ”

When he said the last sentence, Han Ming lowered his head and straightened the documents on the entire table, as if he was deliberately acting normal, he didn't look into Lin Yi's eyes.

A shocking thunder accompanied by a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the whole world seemed to be shaken, Lin Yi suddenly felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet, and the noise and chaos when he came in just now disappeared, except for the sound of rain, it was extremely quiet, and there was endless darkness outside the narrow window, and he remembered that all the lights in the mental hospital were turned on just now, and it was very bright. And the doctor in front of him was looking at him and smiling quietly at the moment, and Lin Yi felt a chill for no reason.

"No, no, she's just, sometimes she acts a little crazy, she always thinks that the devil took our daughter." Lin Yi took a sip of water and said intermittently.

"Don't you have a headache?" Han Ming confirmed again.

"No, no headaches." Lin Yi raised his voice and replied resolutely: "The questions you asked are very strange, I,"

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little sleepy, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 11 o'clock in the night, I don't know why, he felt a little confused in his brain, as if he had been poured lead, and his eyelids were a little heavy: "I don't know how this will help her illness." ”

Lin Yi's voice became smaller and smaller, and he felt that the scene in front of him suddenly became very blurry, as if several white figures suddenly broke in and dangled in front of him.

"Take him out."

This was the last sentence Lin Yi heard.
