Chapter 2: The Fool Who Believes Everything
Zhang Dadao's muttered words made Dr. Su Jinjin's face turn pale, and he quickly asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Zhang Dadao shook his head and turned to leave without saying anything. His slightly excited expression turned into a tired face with dead eyes. This instantaneous change of expression made him look extremely nervous, and the focus of his eyes kept changing. Su Jinjin quickly pulled him back and asked, "Tell me! How did you know that the patient would get into trouble? Did you really calculate it? Did you say that our hospital is against romantic relationships?"
Zhang Dadao was stunned, touched his head, and suddenly revealed a very pure smile, and said with full of sunshine: "I am mentally ill, you really believe it!" After that, he instantly put on that tired face with dead fish eyes, sighed softly, left Dr. Su with a confused look on his face, and went into the activity room again.
Dr. Su's face twitched after being left behind, and he suddenly felt fooled. At this time, Dr. Chen came over from the direction of the elevator in a somewhat embarrassed manner, his glasses were crooked, his white coat was wrinkled, and there were several black handprints on it. When he saw Dr. Chen, Su Jinjin hurriedly raised his hand to greet him, but Dr. Chen hurriedly walked past him as if he hadn't seen him. Su Jinjin shook his hand awkwardly, and was about to catch up with Dr. Chen, but he was almost amused by the black footprints on his butt.
Zhang Dadao, looking exhausted, entered the activity room, where the hospitalized patients gathered. Only patients whose conditions were not serious and not dangerous were placed here to observe their behavior patterns. There were about ten people in the activity room at the moment. A few gathered in front of the high-hanging TV, and a few gathered together to play poker. The rest were either in a daze or reading newspapers and books provided by the hospital.
The TV was playing a singing talent show, but the sound was muted. The famous "Best Actor" among the patients was imitating a judge on TV, which made the surrounding patients laugh from time to time. The patients who could be here were probably normal. For example, the "Best Actor" looked like a normal person in terms of IQ and logic. There was nothing special about him except that he insisted that he was an actor and the people around him were all there for the casting.
Zhang Dadao looked at it for a few seconds, then walked to the bookshelf with his chin pointed. In front of Zhang Dadao, a young man who was reading an advertisement in a newspaper put down the newspaper and looked at him without blinking. Zhang Dadao leaned against the bookshelf and said to him, "You can be discharged soon, right?"
The young man nodded and said, "I haven't heard any messy noises recently. I slept well at night after stopping the tranquilizer!"
Zhang Dadao took out a half-smoked cigarette butt from somewhere, waved to a dazed guy next to him, took the cigarette from his mouth when he came over, took a few puffs on the cigarette butt and lit half of it. Then he said, "Depression is like this. It's easy to treat if you find it early. Your problem is mainly organic auditory hallucinations that lead to insomnia, and insomnia leads to depression. Get out as soon as you get better. This is not a good place!"
Zhang Dadao spit out his eyes, ignoring the admiring look of the guy next to him who lent him a cigarette butt, and gestured the length of the two cigarette butts in his hand, and stuffed the shorter one into the other's mouth. The depressed patient with glasses didn't say anything, just nodded, and occasionally glanced at the newspaper in his hand. Zhang Dadao continued: "Have you thought about what to do after you get out?"
The young man nodded and said, "Continue to go to college? I've been suspended for half a year. I guess I'll have to repeat a grade when I go back. Fortunately, my student status has been retained."
Zhang Dadao rolled his eyes, scratched his scalp a few times and shook out a bunch of dandruff, and asked in confusion: "What did you study?"
The young man said: "Mine safety data model, I was confused when they were blasting when I went to practice it!"
Zhang Dadao sighed and said, "You are too weak. You were frightened! Several of your souls ran away. Fortunately, you found them by yourself, otherwise it would be troublesome! Go back and change your name! What's your name?"
The young man stretched out a finger helplessly and wrote two words on the table beside him: "Zheng Yu."
Zhang Dadao shook his head and said, "The horoscope is so light, and the name is too big to suppress it. Go back and find a fortune teller to change it! Zheng Yu is Zhen Yu! The universe is shaking, you have to be called Jin Zheng or something like that!"
The young man showed a trace of doubt in his eyes. The guy whose cigarette was snatched away by Zhang Dadao stopped being in a daze. There was a little more light in his eyes and he interrupted seriously, "This is feudal superstition. We should believe in science."
Zhang Dadao laughed and said, "Isn't this science? He is a thoughtful and sensitive person. With such a big name, he always feels that he has to accomplish something in his career. The psychological pressure is too great. Changing the name is a psychological hint. That's how old man Jiang from the psychological clinic fooled people last time!" As soon as Zhang Dadao said this, the serious guy immediately became full of admiration.
Zhang Dadao saw that the young man was still a little skeptical, so he waved his hand and walked out of the room without trying to persuade him. When he reached the door, he met old man Han leaning against the wall. Old man Han smiled and said, "Is Zheng going to be discharged from the hospital?"
Zhang Dadao waved his hand and did not answer his question. He just said, "You call me so familiar? Didn't I say you are not allowed to have contact with patients?"
Old Man Han smiled mysteriously and said, "In this hospital, I can see whatever I want to see and know whatever I want to know!"
Zhang Dadao smiled disdainfully and pointed at the guy who had refuted him before and tried to follow him out but was entangled by someone. "Do you have what it takes to deal with that guy who was imprisoned for the third time?"
Old Man Han nodded and said, "He believes in everything. You weren't here when he first came in! He believed in Falun Gong at that time, lived here for a while and then left. He came back a few years later and this time he believed in 20 12! He sold his house and said he wanted to build a big ship. But when 2012 came, nothing happened and he got well and was discharged from the hospital. Now he believes in the American Scientology. He's a fool, he doesn't have any other illness, he's just stupid!"
Zhang Dadao smiled and said, "Shouldn't I be allowed to have contact with him? If he goes out and believes in Taoism again, who will he be responsible for when he comes back? There are many evil people in this world who pretend to be Taoists."
Old Man Han glanced at Zhang Dadao and said, "Aren't you?"
Zhang Dadao shook his head, with an expression that he would not argue with you. He took a few steps forward and said, "I heard that Little Mole and Little Pencil will be discharged soon. I'll go and take a look at them. I haven't learned their natural spiritual eyes yet!"
Zhang Dadao turned around, only to find that Old Man Han had disappeared without a trace. He shook his head, saying "He appears and disappears like a ghost!" and headed towards the elevator.
At the corner, Dr. Su leaned against the wall with a pale face, and made a check mark on the record with the pen in his hand! He also drew a big question mark on the side.
