Chapter 13: The awakening of the “failed student”
After teasing the "zombies" that had just been released from the sponge room, Zhang Dadao was refreshed and walked into the activity room leisurely, waving to the patients around him as he walked. However, it was useless. The patients were either gathered in front of the TV or doing their own things, and they didn't pay any attention to Zhang Dadao at all.
Zhang Dadao was not embarrassed, and he greeted the people around him naturally, and walked all the way to the bookshelf. At this time, a young man with glasses came over, nodded at him, and said, "Teacher Zhang? You are coming down?"
Zhang Dadao nodded, waved his hand and said: "It's fine if you call me Taoist Priest, Heavenly Master, Brother Zhang, or Brother Dao! Don't call me Teacher, it's too stressful! Apart from Teacher Cang, Teacher Chen, and Teacher Sha, there is no other teacher in the world!" Zhang Dadao held his head high , looking like a middle school student.
The young man was shocked and opened his mouth in embarrassment, but couldn't say anything. Zhang Dadao suddenly became anxious and pulled him aside, saying, "You don't know all this, you don't watch Teacher Cang, you don't chase stars, you don't even read comics, how did you fail the exam?"
This young man is a "failed student" because he failed the college entrance examination and repeated a year. Now that the college entrance examination is approaching, this guy is actually depressed. This guy who can chat with Zhang Dadao on weekdays, after being indoctrinated by Zhang Dadao with many fallacies such as "The Essential Prayer Method for College Entrance Examination" and "Twelve Talismans to Help College Entrance Examination", his spirits have improved and he has become quite respectful to Zhang Dadao. Now Zhang Dadao interrupted him and his face turned pale again.
After Zhang Dadao shut up, the "failed student" said, "I know the first two, but I haven't heard of the last one."
Zhang Dadao nodded and said, "Actually, I haven't seen it either. We don't allow comics here. I heard it from a kid who came last time. But Teacher Cang and Teacher Chen have it in Xiao Su's computer, in the folder of the case file!"
Zhang Dadao was moving his feet in the air and on the ground. The "failed student" couldn't keep up with his pace at all, and his face turned red because of his anxiety. After waving his hands in panic for a long time, Zhang Dadao stopped his thoughts of continuing to introduce the secrets of Su Jinjin's computer. Seeing that Zhang Dadao stopped talking nonsense, the "failed student" said: "I want to tell you that I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow! I will definitely pass the exam this time."
Zhang Dadao nodded, not taking it as a big deal, and said nonchalantly: "If I pass the exam, then I pass it. It's no big deal. I haven't even been to school, but I'm still living well!"
The "failed student" Zhang Dadao mentioned was stunned and asked curiously, "You have never been to school?"
"Yes, he was supposed to enter the first grade of elementary school, but he had a car accident on the way! As a result, he didn't go to school for a day and went straight to the hospital. He has been staying there ever since. The lawyer with bipolar disorder who came last time said that we can sue the hospital for violating the Compulsory Education Law. I ignored him. It's like what the little mole said, other people's children pretend to be sick because they don't want to go to school. Shouldn't we cherish our sick children more?" Zhang Dali said as a matter of course.
"But?" The "failed student" hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I see you know a lot, eh? At least better than me."
Zhang Dadao laughed and said, "That's right. I am the reincarnation of the thirteenth generation Heavenly Master. Although I have forgotten many of my skills due to the mystery in my womb, I still know a little about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, the Four Books and the Five Classics. Besides, there are many masters in our hospital. Is n't it better to learn from them than from your crappy school? There are three or five professors living in our building right now! Those who have been discharged or died are not counted!"
The "failed student" was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before saying, "Don't you want to go out?"
"Go out?" Zhang Dadao was stunned , and asked back: "Why go out? Isn't this good? There's food, drinks and fun!"
The "failed student" pondered for a while before saying, "You are not that old, are you? You can't stay here forever, right? Besides, you have to get married or something, right?"
Zhang Dadao was stunned, but he pondered for a rare moment, then suddenly rolled up his eyes and said with a tired face, "Yes! I was wondering why things were getting worse recently, and it turns out this is the reason! The dragon and the tiger need to meet, and Kan and Li need to be in harmony, this is the excess of Yang and the decline of Yin! We don't have any girls on the third floor, only four females! A cleaning lady, a menopausal head nurse at the front desk downstairs! An auntie from the pharmacy. And the female sparrow below is on the awning on the sixth floor! Life is really unbearable!"
The "failed student" nodded and said, "Yes, I think you still have to go out. You are quite smart. If you study hard for two years, you might be able to get into a good university. Besides, aren't you quite normal? Why do you want to stay here?"
Zhang Dadao curled his lips and turned his head to say, "I'm not happy at all when you say I'm normal! I said I'm normal? Those doctors have to admit it too! Forget about studying, seeing how you look, I have no interest in school!"
"Hehe!" The "failed student" laughed awkwardly twice, then said, "Our school is not that good, but universities are different. I heard that there are a lot of beautiful girls in those art universities, radio and television universities, etc."
"Beauty?" Zhang Dadao's eyes lit up, his dead fish eyes turned back, his face became serious, and he said, "Let me tell you! Your mentality is wrong! Appearance is just skin and skin, and the most important thing for a woman is her bones and fate! I had several cauldrons back then, and they were all first-class qualifications!"
"Dinglu? What is that?" The "failed student" scratched his head.
Zhang Dadao hit nothing and got discouraged again. He could only say, "Well, you don't read novels? How can you fail the exam without reading novels? How did you do well in the exam last year?"
The "failed student" sighed and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I was nervous when I took the comprehensive test, and as a result, I had acute appendicitis and went straight from the examination room to the operating room. I didn't take the rest of the test."
"How nervous are you?" Zhang Dadao gave a thumbs up with admiration. Just when he wanted to continue asking about art, radio and television, a nurse came outside and called the "failed student" away.
Zhang Dadao had no choice but to find a corner to sit down with a frown on his face. Although he held a book in his hand, he could not concentrate on reading it. Having lived in the Seventh Courtyard for so many years, Zhang Dadao had never thought of leaving. Hearing the words of this "failed student", he suddenly felt moved.
However, given his current condition, the hospital probably wouldn't let him go. And his guardians would never agree to let him go. Although there were still a few relatives at home, they were almost the same as nothing to Zhang Dadao.
Although they were not greedy for the money left by Zhang Dadao's parents, it was also difficult for them to take this mentally ill relative away to take care of him. Zhang Dadao certainly didn't want to have too much contact with them.
Just as he was worrying, suddenly someone appeared beside him. Zhang Dadao looked and found that it was Old Man Han again. Old Man Han looked at Zhang Dadao and said cheerfully: "Why? Want to leave? Didn't I tell you two years ago that you should go out and take a look!"
Zhang Dadao was stunned and said, "How do you know everything? It seems that the Seventh Hospital is really a gossip? Moreover, you told me this two years ago? Why can't I remember it?" Zhang Dadao rolled his eyes again and looked at Old Man Han with distrust. It was as if he had never heard Old Man Han say anything about leaving.
