Lesions

After Zhou Yinbai left, Qi Zixi's mood was not so good, and he was even more irritable than before.

Chen Weiyang guessed that Zhou Yinbai might have said something that affected Qi Zixi when he was taking notes.

On the other hand, on the second day after receiving Chen Weiyang's roses, Fu Lan went to the recycling bin of the nursing home to look for a long time, and as expected, she found the discarded bouquet of flowers, exactly as Yan Lou said.

The bouquet didn't wither, it was still bright red, but it was lying alone on a piece of dirty garbage.

The mood of the whole person plummeted. Fu Lan pursed her lips and looked at the huge bucket, feeling very sad.After standing there blankly for a long time, he left.

In Zhao Yuan's office, Chen Weiyang was standing there listening to the person sitting in the chair.

"Why did the police come here?" Zhao Yuan asked.

Chen Weiyang said: "Because Qi Zixi needed to supplement his record, the police came to the nursing home."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan thought for a moment with an uncertain expression: "Did he talk nonsense with the police?" Then he explained: "I mean the incident where someone disappeared before the nursing home."

"This... I don't know anymore." Chen Weiyang was in a dilemma: "At that time, there were only Qi Zixi and his lawyer, and then the police. We couldn't go in."

Zhao Yuan's voice was a little cold: "Qi Zixi is troublesome staying here, looking for trouble. And the patients see a few policemen wandering around here from time to time. What if they are stimulated? I think it is necessary to talk to the lawyer. Let’s talk about it, get people away as soon as possible.”

Chen Weiyang was noncommittal.

"If," Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, he said, "If the police come again, remember to notify me as soon as possible. Also, after you meet Qi Zixi, remind him not to talk nonsense."

Chen Weiyang agreed.He knew that Zhao Yuan didn't like the police, because once the nursing home became a permanent police station, his human experimentation would be greatly affected, at least not as free as it is now.but--

Who cares about him?

Chen Weiyang was obedient on the surface, but he opened the door and walked out quite briskly.

After standing at the door for a while, he looked towards the end of this floor, where Zhao Yuan's laboratory was located, which was a forbidden area.

Chen Weiyang smiled.

******

During dinner in the evening, Fu Lan, who was still in a bad mood, appeared in the lounge.

Unhappy is not happy, he is still responsible for treating patients.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner as usual, but near the end of dinner, a conflict suddenly broke out.

Qi Zixi and Fu Lan had a quarrel.

In the nursing home, the patients had to put their bowls into the cleaning pool after eating. Qi Zixi didn't come to the lounge very often before, and a nurse helped him deliver the meals to the room.After a long time, he was too lazy to ask others to send it back and forth, and he got along well with Chen Weiyang, so he was willing to come to the lounge to eat by himself, and he would not deliberately violate the basic rules that should be followed.But after Zhou Yinbai left, he was obviously a little irritable.

He planned to leave today without putting the bowl in the cleaning pool, but was stopped by Fu Lan.

Fu Lan hadn't fully recovered from the rose incident, and her spirits weren't too good, so she refused to back down and said, "You should take the initiative to bring the bowl after you finish eating, patients will easily follow suit. .It took us a while to teach them the habit.”

"It's none of my business what they do?" Qi Zixi frowned and looked at Fu Lan: "I still have to be a part-time teacher here?"

Fu Lan stood there and said, "You shouldn't lead them to do bad things."

Qi Zixi thought he was ridiculous: "What's wrong with this? Don't your staff have no hands or feet? They can't even serve a bowl?"

"Then don't you have no hands or feet?" Fu Lan raised his chin.

Qi Zixi approached with a grim expression: "I found out that you are not just an ordinary person. You haven't settled the matter of framing me and causing the patient to disappear. You're making more progress now, aren't you?"

"I didn't accuse you, and I wouldn't do that kind of thing at all." Fu Lanquan was holding on with the lingering anger in his heart: "I will say what I see, just like you should consciously bring the bowl over. .”

"Is it over?" Qi Zixi was obviously angry.

Fu Lan had no intention of retreating.

Qi Zixi ignored him, turned around and was about to leave.Fu Lan disagreed, and got into trouble with him today.

Finally, Qi Zixi was ignited with a lot of anger. He pushed Fu Lan, and under the confused and staring eyes of the patients, he picked up the drinking water bottle on the table and threw it at Fu Lan. past.

Although the water in the pot was not freshly boiled, it was still hot enough, and all of it splashed on Fu Lan's body, and his arm immediately turned red.

Amid the screams, Zhao Yuan and Bai Xue arrived.Zhao Yuan came to Fu Lan's side at the first time, and when he saw this scene, he was furious and wanted to beat Qi Zixi, but Bai Xue stopped him.

Immediately, Chen Weiyang also ran over, pulling Qi Zixi to a position behind, to prevent Zhao Yuan from getting too emotional.

Zhao Yuan glared at Qi Zixi as if he was going to kill someone, then immediately went to check on Fu Lan's injuries, and took him to the sink to wash.Fortunately, it was not serious, and there were no blisters, but it was red and scary.

"Assault the staff, I think you want to be locked up." Zhao Yuan said coldly.

Qi Zixi was not polite to Zhao Yuan: "If you have the ability, come and try shutting me down." He laughed and said: "I don't think you have the guts."

Zhao Yuan clenched his fists so tightly that the veins could be seen.Before he had time to speak, Chen Weiyang stood up first and said, "Stop arguing about this, take Fu Lan to the medical room to see if you need to apply medicine."

Zhao Yuan came back to his senses, put his arms around Fu Lan's shoulder and was about to take him away.Fu Lan looked at Chen Weiyang, he wanted to ask why Chen Weiyang cared about him?And why throw away the flowers and give yourself a branch?Could it... really never have any other meaning?

He hoped that Chen Weiyang would come with him, but the other party didn't, Fu Lan's eyes changed from weak hope to disappointment and sadness.

Wait until those people leave.Chen Weiyang looked at Qi Zixi and said, "Come here."

He took Qi Zixi to the back garden of the nursing home, where it was very quiet, just the two of them.

"Why did you do this?" Chen Weiyang asked Qi Zixi: "Although you lose your temper sometimes, you never hurt others. Why do you do this today?" He said very directly, but not harshly.The tone is always soft.

With a cold face, Qi Zixi glanced at Chen Weiyang and said, "I'm not a kind person in the first place, swearing at people, beating people, killing people..." He suddenly pulled out a stiff smile: "Isn't it all me?"

Chen Weiyang looked at him for a while, then shook his head: "You are not such a person."

Qi Zixi was a little taken aback, and he turned his head to look at Chen Weiyang, and it took him a long time to laugh at himself: "I don't know what kind of person I am."

"Maybe your temper is bad, but I don't think you are bad." Chen Weiyang said sincerely.

Qi Zixi finally laughed: "Everyone thinks I'm so bad that they locked me up here..." He looked around the garden of the nursing home with hatred in his eyes: "These people all regard me as crazy and are afraid of me. As soon as I go out, I will kill them. If so, then I will be a bad person."

"A real villain wouldn't say such things." Chen Weiyang smiled at him, "However, you were indeed at fault for Fu Lan's matter. You shouldn't do it, let alone pour hot water on him."

"...I didn't think about it that much." Qi Zixi took a deep breath: "He really pissed me off, and I just took the kettle. But it's meaningless to say these things. Believe it or not, I did it anyway."

Chen Weiyang laughed.

Qi Zixi was puzzled, "Why are you laughing?"

"I just think your angry look is too childish."

"...Why don't you scold me a few words?" Qi Zixi said, "You should be the same as that Zhao guy. You were so angry that you wanted to beat me up. After all, I hurt your colleague."

Chen Weiyang said seriously: "I told you, you just have a bad temper."

Qi Zixi was silent for a long time this time before showing a smile that looked more like crying: "Are you a fool? There are so many people with bad tempers, and few of them will kill people. So..." He muttered to himself: "I'm just an out-and-out bad guy."

Chen Weiyang saw that he seemed to be immersed in a certain emotion and became a little sad.So she stroked Qi Zixi's hair and gave him a hug.

The warm body temperature made Qi Zixi a little overwhelmed, and he soon became less stubborn.He seemed to have shed a layer of sharp thorns, and his whole body was weaker than before.He whispered in Chen Weiyang's arms: "If... If, I said that I really didn't kill anyone, would you believe me?" He didn't dare to look at Chen Weiyang, but just looked at a corner of the garden, Qi Zixi was sad and somewhat melancholy asked.

The other party's brief silence made Qi Zixi suddenly nervous, he suddenly regretted what happened today, how could he say such a thing?After all, all the news pointed the finger at him, and he had no evidence to prove his innocence.Shouldn't have said so much...

Qi Zixi gradually stiffened, and just when he was about to escape from this embrace, he heard Chen Weiyang say softly but firmly: "I believe in you."

At this moment, Qi Zixi could hardly believe her ears.For such a long period of time, no one understood him, no one believed him.Sometimes he would have the illusion that he might really be a murderer.

When his closest family members sent him to this mental hospital, he was about to give up on himself.

However, Chen Weiyang...

Slowly raising his hand, Qi Zixi hugged Chen Weiyang back.He tried hard not to cry.

Between the neck of the other party, he whispered: "Thank you. You are willing to listen to me."

Chen Weiyang's movements were gentle, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was performing a very boring performance.

******

After returning to the room again, Qi Zixi's mood stabilized a lot, and he didn't seem to be so irritable and restless.

He sat by the bed, thinking about the conversation with Chen Weiyang before, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, he was a little ashamed of the emotion he showed, but also grateful for Chen Weiyang's understanding and patience.

He flung himself into the bed, only belatedly feeling a little embarrassed.

He turned off the light and wrapped his body and head tightly with a quilt.

It's been a long time since I consciously recalled the nightmarish event that day, and Qi Zixi couldn't help recalling the time when the murder happened.

He was still trembling a little.The bloody dead man seemed to appear clearly in front of his eyes again.

Qi Zixi swears that he drank too much that night, but he is absolutely sober, and he didn't take drugs or use any goddamn hallucinogens.

He really didn't kill people.

Yet no one thought he was innocent.

After all, apart from him, there is no other living person.But no one thought about why he wanted to kill someone?

Yes, why?

Qi Zixi wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

All we need is a murderer.

Not wanting to think about it anymore, Qi Zixi closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and gradually there was only steady breathing left in the room.At this moment, the door was pushed slightly.Then, there was a slight movement of the key turning.

Soon, the door opened a crack and someone walked in.

The man was wearing black close-fitting clothes, and also wore a vague mask on his face, so he couldn't see his face.After walking slowly to the sleeping Qi Zixi, he took out a very thin needle from his hand.

This person is Zhao Yuan.He actually didn't intend to do anything to Qi Zixi, but today the other party touched his bottom line - Fu Lan was injured.

Zhao Yuan vowed to teach Qi Zixi a lesson, to let him understand what it means to keep one's place in a nursing home.

Suddenly covering Qi Zixi's mouth, Zhao Yuan quickly plunged the needle into his neck.

Woke up by the severe pain, Qi Zixi struggled to wake up, and saw Zhao Yuan wearing a mask.

Probably sensing the danger, he began to resist desperately, but after a while, the gradually weakening limbs made him have to give up resisting.

Zhao Yuan looked at Qi Zixi coldly.

At this moment, Qi Zixi's eyes were filled with only panic, he really wanted to escape from the other party's side, but he couldn't use any strength, so he could think clearly and understand what was going on now.

Zhao Yuan intends to move Qi Zixi away from here.

Qi Zixi whimpered for help, hoping that someone could hear it and help him, although he also knew that it was almost impossible, after all, the nursing home was as quiet as dead after dark.

When he was about to accept his fate, Qi Zixi looked at the dark place and suddenly widened his eyes.

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned around reflexively and was about to attack, but it was a step too late, someone came behind him and punched him hard on the head.

The person who came was Chen Weiyang.

At this moment, Qi Zixi was about to cry with excitement.It seems to see the possibility of re-survival.

Chen Weiyang fought with the masked Zhao Yuan, and during the entanglement, Chen Weiyang touched the desk lamp beside Qi Zixi's bed.He picked it up and smashed it hard against Zhao Yuan's shoulder.

The desk lamp fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and Zhao Yuan was also injured. After a muffled snort, he pushed the person away while Chen Weiyang was unprepared, and quickly ran out.

Chen Weiyang still wanted to chase after him, but he was worried about Qi Zixi, so he ran to the bedside to help him up, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Qi Zixi tried her best to move her lips, and said, "The needle...it hurts."

Turning on the headlight at the bedside, Chen Weiyang helped him check before he found the needle hole in his neck, "Maybe I need to check you to see what that person injected you with."

Qi Zixi nodded with a painful expression.

The person was carried back to the medical room, and a simple wound treatment was performed.

Chen Weiyang checked Qi Zixi further, halfway through, Qi Zixi seemed to regain some strength, and he was not so sad.

Chen Weiyang speculated that what the man injected into him might just be some kind of potion that temporarily incapacitated him.

"Do you know the person who attacked you?" Chen Weiyang looked at Qi Zixi and asked again: "Or, have you seen who that person is?"

Qi Zixi shook his head: "It was too sudden, and I was sleeping at the time, and I just felt..." He paused, endured the dizziness for a few seconds, and then continued: "I felt a pain in my neck, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that man .he wears a mask, I don't recognize..."

This time Chen Weiyang was silent for a long time, and when he looked at Qi Zixi again, he said seriously: "Although I'm not completely sure...but it's about your safety, I think it's better to tell you."

Qi Zixi stared at him not quite understanding.

"Today...after visiting the patient's room, when I was planning to go back to sleep..." Chen Weiyang glanced at Qi Zixi: "I saw a very strange person coming out from...the direction of Zhao Yuan's room. But I can't be sure who it is .”

Everyone in the nursing home knows that Zhao Yuan has absolute power here. For this reason, apart from his room, there are several medical rooms and laboratories, and they are several places connected together.That area was expressly forbidden by his order not to allow anyone to step in at will.

So Chen Weiyang only saw someone coming from that direction from a distance, but he couldn't recognize who it was.

Qi Zixi immediately thought of Zhao Yuan himself.

He felt that he and Zhao Yuan's Liang Zi were not too small, and that person had every reason to do such a thing.

His face became very ugly, Qi Zixi said bitterly: "It must be Zhao Yuan, there can be no other person besides him!"

"You can't say that." Chen Weiyang was worried: "I just met such a person, but I didn't say that he is Zhao Yuan."

"Who else would there be?!" Qi Zixi was angry and scared: "He dared to..." Then, he pulled Chen Weiyang's clothes and asked, "What should I do... what should I do?"

Chen Weiyang seemed to be thinking, but didn't answer for a while.After a while, he finally spoke: "From the disappearance of the previous patient to your current injury, I always feel that something terrible is happening in the nursing home." With some hesitation and uncertainty, Chen Weiyang said: "I think, can you tell Those policemen, apply for their protection?"

"They?" Qi Zixi frowned: "Will they care about me?"

"Of course." Chen Weiyang told him: "Your case is not over, they will always focus on you as the object of observation. Once you are in danger, how could they not take action? Moreover, your status does not allow them to sit idly by ignore."

"...Should I apply for their protection?" Qi Zixi confirmed again.

Chen Weiyang nodded: "Today's incident has already threatened your life. What if I didn't find that person during the night patrol? Just think about what will happen."

Qi Zixi felt chills again.Finally, he looked at Chen Weiyang and made up his mind.
