Chapter 32 Daily Visits to the Sick (Part 2)
A week had passed since the class reunion, and Lu Ren once again boarded bus No. 444 on his way to the 18th Hospital.
He is going to visit the patient.
Zong Yi, Hu Xilin, Qi Fan and the housekeeper were said to have been thoroughly disinfected by the medical team of the Investigation Bureau later that day, and then sent home in a daze. However, Sheng Min and the maid Xiao Ye were seriously injured and could not be completely cleaned up by emergency treatment, so they are currently hospitalized in the 18th Hospital. As a participant in the incident and Sheng Min's high school classmate, Lu Ren chose to visit the hospital this weekend.
This time, Lu Renjin was familiar with the 18th Hospital. He was carrying a pound of apples bought at a convenience store and three chew sticks left over from his agent's dog walk, and then he found the three-headed dog still playing games at the registration desk.
The three-headed dog was still playing games noisily, but this time the middle head was sleeping while the two heads on the sides were typing on the keyboard.
While handing over the three teething sticks, Lu Ren politely asked, "Hello, may I ask which ward the two human victims sent by the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau last week are in?"
The teething stick gave off a strong meaty aroma. The two dog heads that were originally having a fierce battle on the Internet, together with the dog head that was originally crawling and sleeping, all three heads moved their nostrils tacitly and sniffed the air.
The moment it saw the teething stick, the three-headed dog put down the keyboard, wagged its tail, and climbed onto the windowsill of the registration desk.
They answered in unison: "The Possession Department is on the first floor, go straight and turn right." The three little heads were eating happily, and their tails were wagging like electric fans.
Lu Ren thanked them and walked in the direction they pointed.
Sheng Min and Xiao Ye were staying in the same ward. When Lu Ren arrived, Xiao Ye was sleeping with the curtains drawn, and the doctor was examining Sheng Min's mouth, asking him to open his mouth wide. Sheng Min seemed unconscious, his eyes were unfocused, and he mechanically followed the doctor's instructions.
Perhaps to take care of Sheng Min and Xiao Ye's emotions, the doctor for both of them looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, nothing special. Lu Ren greeted the doctor politely and then asked the doctor about the condition.
The doctor said, "The female patient has the aura of the underworld on her body. I saw a bloody wound on her hand that has not healed for a long time. I think it must be the place where the aura of the underworld is entrenched." The doctor waved his hands and said, "Although the cleaning time is slow, it will always get better if you take it slowly."
"But this male patient..." The doctor paused, "The male patient's situation is a little more complicated."
Lu Ren quickly asked what was complicated.
The doctor sighed, "A person has three souls and seven spirits. Not only did he lose one soul and one spirit, he also ate fake meat. I haven't seen anyone who ate fake meat in hundreds of years. If I hadn't been practicing medicine for a long time, no one would be able to cure him."
Lu Ren discovered that the hospitals in monsters were similar to those in the human world. The doctors said a lot of words that the family members couldn't understand, and the family members pretended to understand and added at the end: "Can it be cured?"
"Blackmail is easy to cure. Just keep cutting his tongue and let it grow back. When the tongue doesn't lie anymore, it will be cured. But this soul..."
The doctor hesitated.
Lu Ren quickly asked: "What happened to the soul and the spirit?"
The doctor answered honestly: "The human soul is nurtured by the creation of heaven and earth, and is born naturally. It cannot be created. This is the only way for now, and we will replace it when he finds it again."
Lu Ren thought to himself: This is absolutely necessary.
"What will happen if he loses one soul and one spirit?"
The doctor pondered for a while and said, "It's not a big deal. Just stay here for a while and you'll just look a little bit brain-depleted when you go back."
Lu Ren's heart was finally at ease, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Why is there the aura of the underworld and a missing soul?"
The doctor seemed to have seen this happen many times, and said casually: "Your friend must have made some kind of deal with someone from the Nine Netherworld, bringing someone he shouldn't have provoked into the human world, and even harmed the girl next to him."
Lu Ren looked at Sheng Min with a dull look in his eyes, and silently reviewed what happened that night in his mind, and he had a rough idea of what happened.
Sheng Min didn't understand the consequences of trading in the ghost market, so he brought out the elixir of immortality that could connect yin and yang, causing the leakage of the Yellow Springs Qi and triggering a series of strange phenomena such as paper men, which almost harmed others and himself.
After figuring out all this, Lu Ren pondered for a while, then turned around and peeled an apple for Sheng Min as if nothing had happened. He was heard peeling the apple while sighing at Sheng Min: "You, you..."
Sheng Min's tongue just grew out yesterday and it is said that he is still lying, so he will have to cut it off tomorrow.
The doctor had already left, and the two remaining patients in the room were silent as if they were the living dead. The only sound in the room was the rustling sound of Lu Ren peeling an apple. Lu Ren was so eager to show off his skills that he peeled the apple into a little rabbit. He took it to the dazed Sheng Min and asked, "Old Sheng, do you want to eat an apple?"
Sheng Min couldn't give an answer, so Lu Ren planned to eat the apple himself. Just as he was about to put the apple in his mouth, the door of the ward was knocked open with a "bang" and a dark shadow rushed into the room.
Innocent Lu Ren felt a cannonball hit his chest and knocked him to the ground. Instantly, Lu Ren's eyes went dark and he almost couldn't breathe. He felt that the little rabbit apple in his hand was taken away by something, and before he could react, he heard the cannonball on him make a "woof" sound.
Lu Ren opened his eyes and it took him a long time to recover. Then he looked carefully and saw that what was on him was not a cannonball, but a unicorn cub.
Then there came the sound of four hooves of ruminants stepping on the marble floor outside the door, and at the same time an old man's voice asked, "Qilin! Why are you running!"
Following the sound, Lu Ren looked towards the door and exchanged glances with Bai Ze, who had poked his head in to look for Qilin.
Lu Ren looked at Qilin, then at Bai Ze, and then at Apple.
Qilin looked at Bai Ze, then at Lu Ren, and then at Apple.
Bai Ze looked at Qilin, then at Lu Ren, and then at Apple.
…
There is not much work this weekend. Nurse Xiaojia is preparing the purification medicine for the new human female patient.
"That's great, there's less work to do today." Nurse Xiaojia thought happily. There weren't many sick monsters recently, and there were no troublemakers in the hospital. It couldn't be better. "But don't let it be like last time, when I met a human who didn't know how to live or die and fed Master Bai Ze like a goat." She thought so.
Xiaojia's good mood only lasted until he reached the door of the human ward.
She had just pushed the cart to the gate and shouted, "Change the dressing in ward 404," and saw the human who had fed Lord Bai Ze last time sitting in the accompanying chair in ward 404.
The human was holding a cut apple, and what was even worse was that he was feeding the noble Lord Bai Ze like a goat. No, that's not right! This time, not only Lord Bai Ze, but also Lord Qilin, who was sentenced to do voluntary labor in the hospital because of illegal immigration, was also being insulted by this human!
The human distributed the apples evenly. Lord Qilin seemed to be enjoying the eating very much and even rubbed his head against his calves. Lord Bai Ze even lowered his noble head to let him stroke it.
Xiaojia watched helplessly as the human's hand covered Master Bai Ze's head. She couldn't help but let out a scream: "No!!!"
