double burial

As the largest tertiary hospital in the city, the open hall can almost be described as crowded.Among the crowd of different ages and both men and women, an old woman dressed in extraordinary clothes was supported by a young woman with an elegant temperament. Both of them were healthy and did not register, but went straight to the service center in the center of the hall. tower.

"Which floor is Dean Su's office on?" the old woman asked.

There was a little nurse on duty at the service desk, and she was stunned when she heard this: "See the dean? Do you have an appointment?"

"No." The old lady answered domineeringly, taking it as a matter of course that she didn't make an appointment to meet the dean.

The little nurse was stunned again, and then said impatiently: "You have to make an appointment, here, call this number." She pointed to the sign behind her, on which was Su Yu's ID photo, and underneath was the phone number of the dean's office.

The old woman didn't even look at it: "Your dean and I are old friends, so we don't make appointments."

"... Then wait a moment, I'll call the manager to confirm."

Half an hour later, an old woman and a young woman who had gone through many twists and turns appeared at the door of Xiao Xinran's ward.Su Yu knocked on the door lightly, Xiao Yuran stood up from the bed with his back to them, and when he turned his head, he froze in place without warning.Puzzled eyes fell on Su Yu, and Su Yu also had a helpless expression.

"Yu Ran, Xin Ran is ill, do you want to hide it from me?" The old woman walked in without any ups and downs.

"My sister is just a small problem, she will recover after a few days, so—"

"Small problem? Dean Su, that's not what you told me just now." The old woman directly interrupted her perfunctory, and turned the conversation to Su Yu.Hearing this, Xiao Yuran looked at Su Yu in surprise, but Su Yu just lowered his head, seemingly helpless.

"What are you going to do?"

Su Yu glanced at Xiao Yuran, Xiao Yuran signaled her to answer truthfully, and then she said softly: "In another day, if you still don't wake up, you will receive psychological treatment."

"Hypnotism?" The old woman immediately saw through the true meaning of so-called psychotherapy.

"……Um."

"Is there any risk?"

"Consequences are uncertain—"

"Tell me, what are the consequences of the patients who have undergone psychological treatment?" The old woman asked bluntly.

"Temporary amnesia, neurasthenia, schizophrenia, and...brain death."

The old woman just looked at the person on the hospital bed expressionlessly, remained silent, and didn't ask any more questions.

The pale and beautiful face was still on the hospital bed, the black hair was scattered on the pillow, and the snow-white quilt neatly covered the body, outlining the vague outline of the body.An infusion needle was stuck on the back of the hand hanging aside, and blue blood vessels were faintly visible under the fair skin.The three days of no water or rice had made her a little thinner, and the sickness was entwined in the delicate facial features, which was particularly pitiful and affectionate.The old woman bent down, brushed her fingers lightly over the contours of her cheeks, and frowned slightly, no emotion could be seen in her dark eyes.

"Grandma..." Xiao Yuran seemed a little nervous, and called her softly.

She straightened up and looked at the three people standing beside her, and said calmly, "You guys go out first."

The young woman did not dare to disobey her, and was the first to walk out of the ward.Su Yu looked at Xiao Xinran on the hospital bed, although she was worried, but she knew that she was just an outsider, and she couldn't say much about everything, so she had to go out.Only Xiao Yuran clenched his lower lip, standing still and refusing to move.

"Why, are you afraid that I will eat her?" The old woman looked at her and joked without a smile.

"Grandma, you're joking, it's just... my sister will need an infusion later, you..." She hesitated to speak, took a deep breath, and tremblingly said, "I'll wait for you at the door."

Xiao Yuran walked out of the ward, closed the door lightly, leaned against the wall beside her, and stood down.There was no sound in the ward, she didn't know what happened inside, and she didn't know what this old man who had never been close to her would do to her granddaughter.All she can do is wait, and pray.

As time passed, the coldness of the wall would penetrate her body, and the sense of fear became more and more intense.There was no sound in the ward from beginning to end, which aggravated her worry.

Seeing Xiao Yuran's anxiety, the young woman softly comforted her: "Yu Ran, you don't have to worry, mother will take good care of her."

"Auntie, I know." Yu Ran hastily replied.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened wide, and the old woman came out without any change in her expression.Xiao Yuran went up to him nervously, but she didn't even look at her, and said to Su Yu who was on the side: "I know an expert in this field, and I will bring him over in the afternoon. He will preside over the treatment process."

Su Yu didn't dare to respond, but looked at Xiao Yuran who was at the side with hesitation.Xiao Yuran had no choice but to say perfunctoryly for the time being: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The old woman nodded and asked Su Yu again: "I heard that there is another special patient?"

"...Yes." Su Yu knew that she was referring to the woman, so she could only tell the truth.

"Take me to see her."

Su Yu looked at Xiao Yuran's face again.Xiao Xinran was not around, so the person surnamed Xiao was still in charge of all decisions.

Xiao Yuran impatiently wanted to go in to check on her sister's condition, and had no time to care about their whereabouts, so she winked and asked Su Yu to take the old woman away quickly.

In another ward on the same floor as Xiao Xinran's ward, but separated from each other, the woman was sleeping peacefully on the bed, facing out the window, leaving only a shocking back view to the visitor.

The back was not as slim and black as before, but was wrapped in thick gauze, with large swathes of bright red blood on it.It's not that there is no suture and bandage, but that the wound is too deep, bleeding will ooze out at the slightest movement, and changing the dressing too frequently will increase the chance of inflammation and infection, so this is the only way to go.Due to excessive blood loss, the woman's life was hanging by a thread several times, but she just relied on her excellent potential and willpower to survive, and she has survived until now, but she has been unconscious.

This tragic scene that anyone would be horrified by seeing it fell into the eyes of the old woman, and finally aroused a wave of emotion. She asked Su Yu beside her with a slightly trembling voice: "What injury did she suffer?"

"Three gunshot wounds, one on each shoulder and one on the left leg, two tendons on the knee were severed, and..." She couldn't bear it, and stopped.

"Anything else?" The old woman asked, frowning.

"There are also bloody welts on her back. There are 30-meter-long bloodstains around the place where she was rescued, which were left by her crawling over a little bit. Therefore, there are many scratches on her body, almost Not a single piece of intact skin..."

The old woman listened silently, her eyes fell on the woman, and she said after a while, "Take good care of her."

Su Yu quickly agreed.

The old woman turned around to leave, but the woman on the hospital bed suddenly let out a low moan, extremely painful and desperate.His thin shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was enduring some unbearable pain.

The old woman paused, turned around and walked to the hospital bed, only to find that the woman's eyes were still closed, her slender eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, cold sweat slid down the delicate facial contours, and the pillow was already wet.

"What's going on?" She turned to Su Yu.Su Yu went over to check it out, and said in a deep voice, "I've regained consciousness, I'm probably going to wake up soon."

The woman's eyebrows began to frown, her eyelashes trembled more violently, her eyes seemed to be struggling and were about to open.

Such an expression of pain and forbearance fell on the woman's usual cold face, adding a touch of softness to her picturesque eyebrows and lips, so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to get closer.

The old woman stretched out her hand and straightened her hair that was soaked in cold sweat by her ears. Before she left her hand, the woman's eyelashes stopped trembling suddenly, and her frowning eyebrows relaxed.As if trying to suppress something, the painful expression gradually faded, and the moaning suddenly stopped.

She has woken up.This is her, the real her, the one who refuses to frown no matter how seriously injured she is, so she can easily cope with the severe pain of bone erosion.The old woman subconsciously pursed her lips, as if she was a little nervous and even forgot to breathe.

Those eyes finally opened slowly, and the calm watery luster inside gently overflowed and diffused, and the pupils seemed to be smudged with fine thick ink, without a trace of impurities, deep and cold.

The face of the old woman was gradually reflected in those eyes, close at hand and far away, a memory flashed from the bottom of my heart, and then disappeared in an unreachable distance.If you can't grasp it, you will never be able to control it. The woman hates this feeling, so she tilts her head to avoid the old woman's too close distance.

There are no extra questions. The woman may be tired, or she may not want to talk to idlers at all. She just looks at the long-lost world with her calm eyes and judges her own situation.

"How are you...?" the old woman asked softly.

The woman didn't look at her again, just stared at the snow-white quilt with downcast eyes, and said an irrelevant sentence coldly: "Where is Xiao Xinran, I want to see her."

The old woman seemed displeased, but she didn't show anything. She just stood up straight, looked down at her, and didn't answer.

Su Yu on the side hurriedly smoothed things over: "Mr. Xiao is right here. When you feel better and can walk on the ground, you can go and see her."

The woman suddenly raised her head and stared at her: "Is she in the hospital? Is she sick?" The tension in her expression couldn't be concealed.The old woman observed her quietly. Seeing this situation, her displeased expression faded, and she pursed the corners of her mouth, as if a smile appeared.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the people in front of her didn't know Xiao Xinran's situation, and thought she was fine, so they could stand in front of her again, and said to her, "You're awake" .

"Mr. Xiao, she...is weak and still sleeping." The most understated statement, as alert as a woman, how could she fail to hear it.So he moved his arms, probably trying to prop himself up and sit up, but failed without a doubt.

So it was no longer in vain, the woman just opened her mouth, just about to ask something more, but suddenly remembered that there was someone standing beside her at this time.Her gaze finally fell on the old woman who had been silent all this time, she frowned slightly and said, "I have something to ask Dean Su alone."

The old woman snorted softly, as if she was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but turned around and left very wisely.

The woman tilted her head, looking at the back of her leaving, her head was stabbed again, and felt that this scene was indescribably familiar.

"Is that Xiao's grandmother?" The woman guessed the identity of the old lady, Su Yu nodded and gave her an affirmative answer.She didn't have time to think about it, and she didn't have time to find out why this grandmother, whom Xiao Xinran said was not close, appeared here, in the first scene after she woke up.

"Dean Su, what happened to Xiao Xinran, you have to tell me the truth."

The author has something to say: Some babies who have read the full text say that the foreshadowing in this chapter is too obvious.

What do you think?Any guesses?
