Chapter 46 The whole class visits the patient
I stared at Lao He in amazement and said, "Stop joking. How could I do this to Xiaoyan?" Besides, how could she have fangs? She did have two canine teeth.
Lao He rolled his eyes at me and said, "I didn't ask you to do anything. I just put some sticky rice on her. Ordinary people will be fine if they touch sticky rice, unless you are suspicious of her. Also, this kind of corpse will grow fangs when it touches sticky rice. We will know if Cheng Xiaoyan has been assimilated by a try."
I was a little hesitant, or rather, afraid.
I’m afraid Cheng Xiaoyan will really grow fangs. What should I do then?
Kill her or stay away from her?
Seeing Cheng Xiaoyan getting closer and closer to us, Lao He became anxious, patted my shoulder and said, "Escape is not a solution. If you really want to treat her well, you should get to know her!"
As he said that, he stuffed the glutinous rice into my hand without any explanation.
I really had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards Cheng Xiaoyan.
Since last night, Cheng Xiaoyan has become even more taciturn. When she saw me coming, she just nodded and smiled at me. It was a very forced smile, and she didn't say anything.
"Xiaoyan, I want to ask you something." I said.
"Don't ask. If you don't want to be implicated, don't ask anything." Cheng Xiaoyan said quietly.
"I'm not afraid!"
I grabbed her hand without saying anything. At that time, I was holding glutinous rice in my hand. Holding her hand meant that she was indirectly touching the glutinous rice as well.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyan did not change at all. She just blushed a little. She gently broke free and said, "Don't do this. I'm sick."
As she spoke, I watched her mouth.
It's normal, no teeth are visible.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope the thing I fear most doesn’t happen .
"You saw what happened last night. To be honest, my grandma is not a human being." Cheng Xiaoyan said expressionlessly, "She took me back because she wanted me to do something for her, but I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to make any more mistakes..."
As she spoke, Cheng Xiaoyan's voice became lower and lower.
"What did she ask you to do for her?" I asked in surprise.
"Do bad things."
Cheng Xiaoyan spoke softly, then brushed past me and walked into the building, obviously not wanting to discuss this issue anymore.
I looked at her back and always felt that after what happened last night, she was deliberately avoiding me - or rather, she didn't want to implicate me.
But how could she know that the old lady had already set her sights on me.
Lao He came to me and asked me how I was.
I said, "That's normal. She's not uncomfortable with the sticky rice, and she's not showing her fangs."
Lao He was stunned and said, "That's strange. Didn't you tell me before that when she put her hand into the glutinous rice, the rice turned black?"
"Uh, I don't know what's going on... Never mind, let's not discuss this."
I sighed, feeling indescribably irritated.
The current situation is really like there are wolves in front and tigers behind.
Building D alone was enough to make me anxious and worried, but I ended up getting into trouble with a big villain.
I simply can’t imagine what would happen if I faced Cheng Xiaoyan’s grandmother alone?
Should she tear him into pieces or break his neck?
…
Building D has become a little calmer these past few days, except for the occasional sounds and cries of patients in pain in the ward. Compared to before, it is much better.
After the TV was installed, most of the patients calmed down.
Many times, they would sit together and watch the sitcoms and variety shows on the screen with smiles on their faces.
Perhaps, when they are not sick, they would disdain to watch such meaningless and unnutritious programs - but when people are sick, they just want to seek some happiness, even if it means sadness afterwards and the happiness is only short-lived.
Yes, it was too short.
They are a group of poor people who have no relatives or have been abandoned by their relatives. They know that they will not live long and that they may not see the sun after dark. So at the last moment, they just want to be a little "brainless" and simple, and just greet the coming of death with a friendly smile.
Even the old man who had insisted on watching "Drawing Sword" at the beginning finally began to become "sociable" and watched with everyone the soap opera "Why Do You Wear Scholar's Clothes" which he would never watch normally. After hearing the line "You are so coquettish", he laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Maybe this is what people are like.
With the environment and time, it changes little by little.
Who can predict whether you will end up becoming the person you hate or the person you like?
Cheng Xiaoyan's illness has worsened. Every night when I pass by her ward, I can hear her groaning in pain and tossing and turning. During the day, I see her listless and haggard. She used to be lively and outgoing, but now she can only speak a few times a day. She is silent, taciturn, nervous, and fearful.
She no longer accepted my kindness and always tried to avoid me. Even if I occasionally met her at the corner, she would pretend to play with her phone and turn away.
I felt really , even though I knew she was doing it for my own good.
When I went to school, I didn’t know whether it was because the teacher had a change of heart or because the leaders above put pressure on me, but at the end of the last class, the head teacher suddenly came into the classroom and announced that he was going to visit Cheng Xiaoyan and hoped that the students would cooperate actively.
Whether to go or not is purely voluntary - I thought most people would refuse, but surprisingly, the majority chose to go for the visit.
There were not many people in the class, only about thirty, and twenty of them chose to go to Building D to visit Cheng Xiaoyan.
At that time, I was quite happy for Cheng Xiaoyan, but I found out later that their so-called visit had no friendship between classmates at all. It was just out of curiosity and the desire to join in the fun.
The class teacher collected three yuan from each student, bought a bag of bananas and a watermelon, and then a large group of people walked towards the hospital.
Honestly, the picture is pretty spectacular.
On the way to Building D, some timid girls began to complain, saying why the road was so difficult to walk on, why it was so gloomy here, and so on... But the boys were laughing and talking, and when they passed by the morgue, they made faces in an attempt to scare the girls.
Judging from the way he looks, he doesn't seem to be here to visit a patient, but rather to take a look.
I called Cheng Xiaoyan in advance and told her about this. She didn't have any special reaction. She just said "Oh, I see."
"Is this Building D?"
"Wow, it's completely different from other hospital buildings!"
"It looks scary. Is this where Cheng Xiaoyan lives?"
Everyone started chatting away.
I frowned and motioned for them to be quiet, but no one listened to me. The class teacher might have become a little fed up with it, so he spoke up and asked everyone to keep quiet.
Liu Fuqiang was still at work at this time. Seeing so many students, he was a little dazed. I walked up to him and handed him a cigarette, explaining the situation. He nodded woodenly and said, "You can visit, but you must pay attention to some issues."
I knew he was referring to Ward 404, so I said, "No problem, I'll keep an eye on them."
After obtaining Liu Fuqiang's consent, the class teacher distributed masks to each student, and then they walked into Building D together.
As expected, some people started complaining again, saying it was so cold, the air conditioner was turned on too high, and the floor was full of water. Some people even teased me, saying, "Tian Zhiyong, you work here every night? Isn't it haunted?"
I ignored them and took them to Ward 105.
In the room, Cheng Xiaoyan was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed , watching TV. When she saw the class teacher and others coming over, she just nodded, not particularly enthusiastic.
Everyone was a little unhappy at this and accused Cheng Xiaoyan of being impolite for not getting up to greet so many people who came to see her.
The class teacher's face also darkened and he said, "Xiaoyan, everyone came to see you, why are you still sitting on the bed?"
Cheng Xiaoyan seemed not to hear and continued watching TV.
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, He Min walked in. Her hands seemed to be holding a ball of air, her face was dull, and she sang softly: "Good baby, go to sleep, don't make noise when you fall asleep, when you wake up, you will have milk to drink, wear new clothes, and don't be afraid of the cold..."
When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, who is this person? He's like a psycho!"
"I can tell from the looks of it that she has a problem with her brain. Is Cheng Xiaoyan going to live with her?"
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful. Living with a psychopath, will Cheng Xiaoyan also become stupid?"
"Of course, Cheng Xiaoyan was stupid in class before, and now that she's sick and is hanging out with people like this, she must be even more stupid!"
Hearing these sneers and ridicules, Cheng Xiaoyan bit her lip, said nothing, and her face became very ugly.
Seeing her appearance, I felt both distressed and angry... These bastards said they came to visit her, but in fact they just wanted to spread these rumors?
A surge of anger surged in my heart. I clenched my fists and looked at them angrily. Just as I was about to speak, a shrew suddenly shouted in a loud voice:
"Heh, you guys are all educated, why are you all acting like punks?"
Behind him, a fat woman wearing a nurse's uniform walked towards him with a sneer on her face.
It’s Cao Fengjiao!
