Chapter 3: The Mole with a Natural Eye
The Seventh Hospital, like most hospitals, is a place where the staff changes but the staff remains the same. Unlike the stubborn ones like Zhang Dadao and Old Man Han, most patients do not stay in the hospital for too long. Firstly, although mental illness sounds mysterious and scary, it is actually like other diseases. There are not many serious and terminal illnesses, and most people get better after a period of hospitalization. And the hospitalization of serious illnesses cannot be cured anyway. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of a long-term bed. The hospitalization fee of this mental hospital is not low, and not many people have the money to receive long-term treatment.
Zhang Dadao had his parents' inheritance and insurance company's compensation, and his relatives were not short of money. In addition, the person responsible for the car accident was also a wealthy man, so he spent a lot of money to avoid making a big fuss. Zhang Dadao really didn't worry about the hospital fees, and he had a lot of pocket money accumulated in his account.
When his parents died, his relatives found out that something was wrong with him and gave up the idea of adopting him. They pooled together some money and added it to the money left by his parents to set up a fund to cover his medical expenses. Although prices have skyrocketed in recent years, thanks to the fact that Zhang Dadao's father was a real estate speculator, most of the inheritance he left behind was real estate. The rent from these houses alone is enough to pay for the medical expenses and keep the fund growing. After all, no matter how high the prices go, they can't exceed the housing prices.
Most of the patients in the hospital now have average relationships with Zhang Dadao, except for the depressed college students who just came in because of failure in the college entrance examination. Zhang Dadao doesn't look down on guys like "movie kings" and "superstitious lunatics". As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are different levels of mental illness.
Doctors, nurses, and other staff like Zhang Dadao and Han Laotou, who don't cause trouble, so they are naturally the first class. Although the "movie king" is safe, he may scare visitors every now and then. Compared with those who are depressed and suicidal, or those with bipolar disorder and violent tendencies, he is still safe and is the second class. Others who will not only hurt themselves but also others are basically in the intensive care unit, which is the third class.
The most dangerous thing is that their thoughts are extremely dangerous and misleading. It is not a big deal to affect other patients. There are also many cases where doctors are deceived to death. Hospitals are afraid of such patients. They are the most terrifying type.
Apart from these, there are some in between. The two little girls that Zhang Dadao is going to see now belong to this type. Because of their young age, the two little girls are still living in the Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center. Zhang Dadao staggered up the stairs, slipped into the elevator when no one was paying attention, and went all the way to the first floor and out of Building 3.
Although someone must have discovered his whereabouts from the surveillance, as an old hand, no one would stop him. After living in the Seventh Hospital for so many years, Zhang Dadao has been relatively free. Even the guards know him, and no one would care as long as he doesn't sneak out of the hospital. Even if he wants to leave the hospital, he can just say hello and go out for a walk in his condition. Apart from talking a little crazy, Zhang Dadao's IQ and behavior are relatively normal, belonging to the type with normal behavioral ability.
Most importantly, given Zhang Dadao's situation, there was basically no other place for him to go except the hospital. The people in the hospital were not worried that he would get lost, or that there was nothing to worry about if he got lost, as Zhang Dadao's relatives had ignored him for several years.
The reason why he specially ran to the upper floor to take the elevator was more because of the self-righteousness of Zhang Dadao, a mental patient. After leaving Building No. 3 smoothly, Zhang Dadao staggered to the Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center. He had lived here before. He greeted the nurses and walked to the front of a ward. Just from the fact that Zhang Dadao knew the nurses, this Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center was the safest place in the entire inpatient department of the Seventh Hospital.
After all, the patients here are all children, so any shocking thoughts can be understood as innocent words. So the nurses are still the same ones when Zhang Dadao lived here. Zhang Dadao quietly opened the door and saw a little girl of eight or nine years old drawing on a table. When she heard the noise, the little girl seemed to be startled, and when she saw it was Zhang Dadao, she grinned, her eyes were out of focus for a while, and then she waved her hand and said, "Brother Xiaoshe is here?"
Zhang Dadao smiled foolishly, nodded, walked into the house , and sat down casually on the floor leaning against the table.
"Little Mole, are you going to be discharged?" Zhang Dadao snapped his fingers and squinted at the painting on the ground. The little girl he called Little Mole was a little fat, but because she was young, had big eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered, she was very cute. Maybe because she had not seen the sun for a long time, her skin was white and almost transparent, and the direction of the veins could be clearly seen. No matter how you look at it, she has nothing to do with a mole.
The reason why this little girl was admitted to the hospital is very interesting. According to her, as long as she looks at people out of focus, they are animals in her eyes. Her family didn't pay much attention to it before, but when she was in school, something happened. During class, this child often laughed strangely, which seriously disrupted the classroom discipline. When the teacher asked about it, he thought that she had mental problems, so she was sent to the Seventh Hospital. The main purpose was to get a certificate of mental health so that she could go back to school.
Zhang Dadao understands this little girl very well. Anyone who lives every day like in the animal world would find it absurd. The physical education teacher is a gorilla, the Chinese teacher is a fox, and the math teacher is a Ninja Turtle. Just thinking about this kind of picture makes me drunk! In the eyes of this girl, Zhang Dadao is a strange snake that is half fish and half snake, and she herself is a mole.
After hearing what Zhang Dadao said, the little girl nodded and said, "Mom said that if I don't make trouble in class in the future, I can go home. Grandpa Panda said that I'm fine, but..."
"Cognitive impairment!" Zhang Dadao followed up with a sentence. The little mole nodded and said, "That's the impairment!"
Zhang Dadao curled his lips in disdain, knowing that the panda the little mole was talking about was the lazy fat director of the Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center, so he said, "Fatty , that's it. You are born with a spiritual eye that can see people's life, soul, and shape. Although I don't understand why they are all animals, it's not an obstacle anyway. Uh, tell me more before you leave, so that I can learn more about your natural spiritual eyes!"
The little mole hesitated and said, "Isn't this a disease? Brother Snake, you don't want to go to school? Do you still want to learn how to get sick?"
Zhang Dadao sighed helplessly and said, "Well, I can't explain it to you clearly. Little Pencil is easier to talk to. Did you pretend to cry last time?"
The little mole nodded, stood up, took out a small bottle from the small schoolbag hanging on the chair, and handed it to Zhang Dadao: "This is what I secretly saved when I got the injection last time. Here it is!"
Zhang Dadao accepted the small bottle, glanced at it, curled his lips in disdain, and said, "It's vitamin B complex again, the sleeping pills are much more powerful!" After saying this, he filled the bottle and said, "Don't look at people in a pretentious way in the future, just don't tell others. Those idiots won't understand!"
The little mole nodded, and Zhang Dadao got up from the ground and said cheerfully, "Okay, Brother Snake will come to see you when he's free! Little Pencil is also about to be discharged from the hospital, I'll go up to see her!"
Zhang Dadao said, rolling his eyes again, and staggered out of the ward, muttering to himself: "Damn, children are treated well, and they have single rooms. Except for those who are isolated upstairs, all the wards in Building 3 are large wards!"
