Early on a rare Saturday morning, the two decided to take a car to the nursing home where the driver Xiong Zhiyong's mother, Chen Shu, lived.

Huanhai Sanatorium is located in the outskirts of City A, surrounded by green hills and forests, the environment is secluded and the vegetation is lush.

Lu Xin set out to do some research before setting off.This nursing home has a very good reputation in the city, and its living environment and service attitude are absolutely superior, but its target audience is more for the rich and noble families who are looking after their lives. The working class like Xiong Zhiyong who moved from the countryside to the city cannot afford it. those expensive services.

The bus drove slowly from the long street with row upon row of high-rise buildings to the sparsely populated suburbs. Outside the window, neat and tall evergreen trees passed one after another, like rows of silent and determined tin soldiers.

There is a small lake in front of the nursing home, sparkling with sparkling light, reflecting the small European-style building with red roof and white bricks beautifully.

Through the carved iron gate in front of the small building, Lu Xin could see elderly people in light green coats in twos and threes in the front yard, sitting on a bench and basking in the sun.

She and Qi Yuan got off the bus together and walked towards the nursing home along the long gravel path.

Qi Yuan walked towards the gate, Lu Xin followed behind her, and suddenly saw the other party stop, staring straight ahead, with a gloomy expression.

She followed the wishful eyes and saw a silver Maserati parked on the open land in front of the door.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

Qi Yuan said with a sullen face, "That's my sister's car." This Maserati was a high school graduation gift given to her by Qi's father at the time, and the license plate number was quite rare and easy to remember.

Lu Xin was startled, and immediately became nervous: "Then shall we go?"

Qi Yuan nodded slightly, frowned, and said solemnly: "Go and have a look, there may not be anyone in the car."

The two walked over cautiously.

Soon they breathed a sigh of relief—as expected, through the black window, they could vaguely see that there was no one in the car seat.

"What is your sister doing here?" Lu Xin looked at the car window, "Are there any elderly people in the Qi family living here?"

Qi Yuan walked around the car and denied it while checking, "In my memory, no."

Lu Xin felt a little uneasy.

She put forward the idea in her heart: "Could it be that she also came to look for Li Shu?"

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "There is indeed a possibility, let's go in and have a look first."

When they came to the iron gate, Lu Xin lightly pressed the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, a man with the appearance of a security guard slowly came out of the reception room with his hands in his pockets. When he saw two students standing at the door, his expression became suspicious.

"Where are you kids from? This is not the place for you to come." He frowned and said.

Qi Yuan and Lu Xin looked at each other, took a step forward, and said to the security guard, "We are all students in A Middle School, here to complete the social practice volunteer activities arranged by the school."

"Volunteering? There is no such thing at all." The security guard waved at them and said in disbelief, "Hurry up, hurry up."

Lu Xin took out her student ID card from her school uniform pocket, and showed it to him: "Really, the school encourages us to provide free condolences to the elderly. If you don't believe me, you can go to the school and ask."

The security guard glanced at her student ID card, shook his head, and said impatiently, "We don't do any social practice in our courtyard, so go elsewhere and find another one."

No matter what he said, the security guard was still extremely guarded, and he didn't intend to let them in at all. In the end, he left them outside the door and left in a hurry.

The clue investigation was interrupted before it started, and the situation suddenly became a little grim.

"There is no chance for the main entrance." Qi Yuan looked around, thoughtfully, "Try and see if you can find another entrance."

Lu Xin walked around the nursing home and found that although the surrounding fence was very high, due to the age, the iron railings had lost a little rust.

She quickly found a fence that was tightly bound with wire. It was probably because someone wanted to get in and out from here before, so the gap between the two railings was deliberately widened.

Later, the sanatorium may have discovered this place, so it was sealed with wire bundles.

Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and touched the wire cautiously, testing the tightness.

"How is it?" Lu Xin looked at her expectantly.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "It can be broken." She held both ends of the wire with both hands, and pulled it out effortlessly, and the layers of silk were broken.

Lu Xin sighed in her heart: I have to say that the power of zombies is really very convenient.

They were thin and thin, and easily passed through the gap between the railings one after the other.

The small building is not high and has three floors. The front yard is a good place for the elderly to take a walk and talk, and the back yard has a staff dormitory.

Although he successfully entered the backyard, it is temporarily unknown on which floor and which room Li Shu's room is on.

Lu Xin raised her hand to look at the school uniform on her body, and said in a low voice, "Aren't we too conspicuous?"

Qi Yuan also felt the same way, so he took off his school uniform and tied it around his waist: "Sneak into the main building first and look for a changing room for the staff."

The two walked lightly and tiptoed into the building through the half-open back door.

The corridor is very quiet, perhaps in order to provide a good environment for the elderly to cultivate, the sound insulation walls of the rooms on each floor are very thick.

The space stretches straight forward, and the white marble floor under your feet is spotless, so clean that you can see people.

Lu Xin looked left and right, and found an instruction map of the nursing home on the wall on one side. There is a staff room on each floor, which happens to be near the back door.

As soon as she opened her mouth to tell Qi Yuan, behind the door of an unknown room in front of her, there was a crisp and crisp sound of the doorknob being turned, which was very clear in the quiet corridor.

Lu Xin trembled in shock, before she could react, she was grabbed by Qi Yuan beside her and dragged into the staff room.

Qi Yuan gently knocked on the door of the staff room, carefully put his ear against the door, and pointed a finger at Lu Xin in his arms: "Shh."

Lu Xin clung tightly to the other's warm embrace, feeling her whole face heat up with a bang.

She held her breath and listened carefully to the voice outside the door with Qi Yuan.

Soon, footsteps sounded in the long corridor, thump, thump, thump, back and forth alternately.

Every footstep seemed to step on Lu Xin's heart, which coincided with her heartbeat.

She bit her lip tightly and listened intently.

The owner of the footsteps walked forward unhurriedly, passed through many rooms, and finally stopped suddenly near the staff room.

Qi Yuan's expression gradually became serious.

Lu Xin raised her face, her dark pupils were flickering with uneasiness.They looked at each other quietly for a while, and Qi Yuan silently shook Lu Xin's sweaty hand.

After waiting for a long minute, footsteps sounded again, followed by a brief crunch.

Lu Xin clenched Qi Yuan's fingers and her heart stopped beating.

The owner of the footsteps pushed open the back door and walked out, and the voice gradually faded away.

Qi Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when the voice could not be heard at all.

She lowered her head to look at the frightened human being in her arms, and said softly, "It's okay, the man is gone."

Lu Xin let out a long breath, puffed her cheeks and said, "I was really scared to death."

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I feel it."

Lu Xin looked at her inexplicably.

The zombies lowered their eyes and shook their intertwined left hands: "You just kept shaking."

After hearing this, Lu Xin withdrew her hand with a whoosh, and put her back behind her back as if trying to cover up, her whole face was as red as a round tomato.

Qi Yuan couldn't help thinking of teasing her again, and deliberately asked, "Why are you blushing so much?"

Lu Xin dodged her eyes and said falteringly: "Yes, it's a little hot." No matter how much mental preparation she had made, she could never remain calm when facing Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, smiled lightly, and did not expose her understandingly: "Then let me go."

As if waking up from a dream, Lu Xin got out of her arms and bounced away like a frightened little animal.

Qi Yuan didn't tease her anymore, found some white coats from the hangers in the staff room, and picked out two that looked brand new and clean, one for Lu Xin, and one for himself.

Lu Xin put on her coat, stood in front of the mirror and looked around.

She has a thin figure, she is covered under a large white coat, her long hair hangs down her shoulders, her face is fair and delicate, and she looks a bit pitiful.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was a bit like a doctor, and she suddenly felt a sense of lofty mission to save lives and heal the wounded.

Qi Yuan put on his coat, turned around and glanced at her, and said with a smile, "It's quite suitable."

Lu Xin looked up at her, no matter how she looked at her, she felt that the other party was more suitable.

The same clothes, if Qi Yuan puts them on, the white clothes will flutter, chic and refined.Thin white wrists were exposed from the wide cuffs, a pair of slender collarbones were exposed from the collar, and a few buttons on the chest were buttoned casually, showing an inexplicable abstinence.

She stared blankly for a while, feeling like an idiot, quickly restrained her eyes and expression, and said seriously: "Let's act quickly."

Qi Yuan nodded, stepped forward and slowly opened the door, looked around carefully, and when he saw no one, he turned around and called Lu Xin out.

The overview of each floor is drawn on the map. There are more than [-] rooms on the first floor. Each room has its own house number. name information.

Lu Xin and Qi Yuan searched two floors in a row, but couldn't find Li Shu's room, so they took the elevator to the third floor.

As the elevator door slowly opened, as the two stepped out of the elevator, there was a burst of noisy conversation.

"Heh, if it wasn't for her son, I wouldn't even bother to come here." A delicate female voice said.

"Miss, I just went in to have a look, and her condition seems to be getting worse..."

The female voice snorted and replied, "What's the use of telling me! I've already provided her with food and drink, what else can I do? She has dementia herself, who can save her?"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes, looked coldly at Qi Miao who was talking with his assistant on his hips through the bonsai hidden in the corner.
