Rebirth one way to the north

The original site of Yunbian Anding Hospital was a German hospital built in the early years of the Republic of China. Although there were several wars, most of the buildings remained. In 1991, the province allocated funds to expand and rebuild on the original basis, and the environment and medical facilities have been greatly improved.In the vast garden at the back of the hospital, there are green trees, flowers and lake water, and the environment is quiet and beautiful.

Xia Duo curiously looked at the patients around him who were walking and playing games under the care of nurses and nurses.Mo Bei had to remind him: "Don't look directly, some patients are very sensitive."

Xia Duo looked away embarrassedly. He also knew that it was impolite to look at him like this, but because it was the first time he came to such a special place as Anding Hospital, and it was also the first time he saw so many mentally ill and neurotic patients in such a dense manner. He had a little trouble suppressing his curiosity.

Some of those patients looked just like normal people, and it could even be said that the tranquility and calmness on their faces was more "normal" than the busy and anxious ordinary people Xia Duo usually saw.However, there are also some who can be distinguished from normal people by their behavior, such as the man who climbed up the rockery, holding a small cardboard box in his hand, constantly moving his position, chanting words, but he didn’t even look at them. Underfoot, almost fell several times.Several nurses are trying to get him down.

Xia Duo couldn't help asking a nurse, "What is he doing?"

Worried that the man would fall, the nurse replied impatiently: "He thought he was an alien trapped on the earth during interstellar travel, and he was trying to find a way to use radio waves with his home planet to ask for help."

"That box is his communicator?"

"No, that's a coordinator that allows his brain waves to reach the same frequency as this body. Without this thing, he wouldn't be able to control this body."

"what does that mean?"

The nurses finally got the man off the rockery, and the "alien" struggled violently. A nurse snatched the small cardboard box away, and the "alien" immediately became quiet like a robot with a power cut off. The whole person was stiff and unable to move, only two eyes were blinking non-stop, showing a look of horror.The nurses carried the "alien" in as stiff as a log.

"..." Xia Duo wanted to communicate with Mo Bei about his feelings, but found that Mo Bei seemed to be wandering away.

In fact, this garden gave Mo Bei a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, a bit like the garden of the hospital he had stayed in in his previous life.

However, he lived in the hospital for seven years, but the time he was really allowed to relax in the garden was very little. In addition to deliberately forgetting later, he was not sure whether this garden was related to that hospital. How much similarity is there.Besides, he has never been to other Anding hospitals, maybe the environment is similar?

After staying in the garden for almost half an hour, the Zheng couple finally communicated with the doctor and came to find Mo Bei and Xia Duo to go in.

Almost as soon as he walked in the gate, Xia Duo felt Mo Bei's nervousness. In fact, he also felt a little nervous, although the environment inside the hospital was bright and spacious beyond his expectation—it wasn't that Xia Duo presupposed how big Anding Hospital would be. Old and dark, but the current material level is like this, the hospital may not have so much money to spend on decoration and cleaning.Take the county hospital where Mo Xiangyang works as an example. Whether it is the office or the ward, the stains and even cracks on the walls are clearly visible. There is even a window in the room where the nurses are resting on duty.

In the past, Xia Duo also heard about the general situation in Anding Hospital. It is said that the environment in the wards is very poor, with large areas of chipped walls and uneven concrete floors. There are more than a dozen people living in a ward, and the ventilation and heating equipment are not good. Well, it's hot in summer and cold in winter.The food in the cafeteria can only satisfy one's hunger but absolutely nothing about nutrition and taste.However, due to the limitations of family conditions, or the dislike and indifference of family members, many patients' clothes are so old that they seem to be picked up from a garbage dump.There are also various rumors about medical staff abusing patients, or patients falling ill, injuring, biting, and killing medical staff.In short, the descriptions Xia Duo had heard made him almost equate the environment of Anding Hospital with a prison, or even worse.

However, after all, this place has just been repaired and expanded, and everything still exudes a breath of new life, which at least reassures the patient's family members.

"Hi, I'm Zheng Dong's attending doctor, Qin Dangmian." They were greeted by a male doctor in his 30s, wearing a clean white coat and speaking with a southern accent.

Several people exchanged greetings, Qin Dangmian said some precautions, asked the Zheng couple to wait in the office, and led Mo Bei and Xia Duo to see Zheng Dong.

Mo Bei chatted casually with Qin Dangmian while walking, and asked abruptly: "Who is the person who suggested that I come to see Zheng Dong?"

"Luo..." Qin Dangmian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's one of my colleagues. Zheng Dong is your fan. He not only collected all your works, but also prepared a special diary for excerpting your works. Sentences from the book. And during the treatment, we found that if you mentioned your work to him, his consciousness seemed to be clearer. Here we go.”

Qin Dangmian opened the door as he spoke. There was a single bed in the room. Zheng Dong was lying on the bed and reading a book, as if he didn't notice anyone coming in.His appearance was the same as what Xia Duo saw every time he returned to the dormitory.

"Zheng Dong, someone came to see you." Qin Dangmian covered the page of the book Zheng Dong was reading with his hand, and Xia Duo noticed that it was Mo Bei's new book "Shimmer".

Zheng Dong looked up in confusion, the first thing he noticed was not Mo Bei, but Xia Duo. "Bring me some fried noodles, the money is in the drawer." After Zheng Dong finished speaking, he lowered his head and wanted to continue reading.

Xia Duo opened his mouth and closed it again. The familiar scene appeared in such a special environment, which made him extremely embarrassed and at a loss.

Mo Bei walked to the bed and asked casually, "Do you also like reading books at 37 North Latitude?"

Zheng Dong said: "Huh. Huh?" He looked up at Mo Bei in surprise, "You like it too?"

"I have read every one of his novels, including those he translated."

"Then which one do you like best?"

"Which one do you like best?" Mo Bei asked back.

"Of course it's "The Murdered Squirrel"! The layout is so ingenious, who would have thought that the death of a squirrel in the park would involve a shocking case?" Zheng Dong exclaimed happily.

After listening for a while, Xia Duo found that although Zheng Dong's words seemed to be very logical, in fact his thinking was constantly jumping out.Mo Bei nodded while listening, and when Zheng Dong wanted to pause, he repeated his last sentence in a questioning or rhetorical tone, which made Zheng Dong talk endlessly and became more and more excited.

As his emotions rose, Zheng Dong sat up from the bed. He took a kneeling position, gradually raised his upper body upright, his hips separated from his calves, and gestured with his hands, as if he was about to jump up at any time.Xia Duo had a bad feeling, he subconsciously moved closer to the bed, if Zheng Dong lost control suddenly, he could stop him in time, but Mo Bei secretly winked at him, Xia Duo had no choice but to hold back .

Qin Dangmian suddenly interjected: "Zheng Dong, he is the author of "The Murdered Squirrel" at Latitude 37 North."

Zheng Dong's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Qin Dangmian and Mo Bei in confusion.

Qin Dangmian said softly: "Didn't you always want to meet your favorite author? Now he is here. What do you want to say to him?"

Zheng Dong shook his body anxiously from side to side, "Bei, Beiwei? Really? Teacher Beiwei? Teacher Beiwei came to see me? How is it possible? You lied to me, right? You must have lied to me."

Qin Dangmian said: "It's true, he is 37 North Latitude. You see, if we want to lie to you, we can find an adult to look more believable, right?"

Excitement, doubt, joy, fear and other expressions alternately appeared on Zheng Dong's face, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if several different people were robbing him of control of his body.Xia Duo was startled.

"God said that whoever believes in me will have eternal life. The Father in heaven has recalled his son. Eternal life exists in a way that mortals cannot understand. I will bestow this miracle on my love." Mo Bei stretched out his hand and drew an inverse five in the air. mans star.

This is a line and action of his murderer in "The Murdered Squirrel", but it only appears once in the whole book, and people who are not familiar with this book may not remember it.

Zheng Dong let out a cry, clasped his hands in front of his chest like a pure girl in prayer, bowed his head reverently, and even shyly said, "You are my mentor in the world, my lover in heaven, I wish I dedicate everything to you, my blood, my flesh, my bones, my soul, for that was originally given to me by you."

This line is also the line in that book, and it is the last words of the victim who was bewitched by the murderer before his death.

Mo Bei said to Qin Dangmian: "Can I chat with him alone for a while?"

Qin Dangmian hesitated for a moment and said, "Only 10 minutes."

Mo Bei nodded and signaled Xia Duo to go out with Qin Dangmian and wait. Xia Duo looked at him disapprovingly, but Mo Bei's eyes were firm.Just like before, Xia Duo quickly succumbed to Mo Bei's will, and he reluctantly walked out with Qin Dangmian.

The two stood outside the door and waited. Xia Duo froze his ears desperately to hear the movement in the room, and was ready to rush in to rescue Mo Bei if something strange happened.Before he came here, he had heard that Zheng Dong had manic symptoms in the hospital, but because he didn't see it with his own eyes, he didn't feel anything.But just now, Zheng Dong's dangerous aura made Xia Duo clearly realize that this is a mental patient, and he may commit behaviors that ordinary people cannot guess at any time.

When he thought that he had really left Beibei by Zheng Dong's side, Xia Duo had the urge to break in and snatch Mo Bei back—if Qin Dangmian wasn't by his side, he might really have endured it. Can't stop doing this.

"As expected of a genius who writes mystery novels." Qin Dangmian sighed.

"What?" Xia Duo asked absently.

Qin Dangmian smiled and said, "Is he always like this? He is very good at controlling the scene."

Xia Duo was silent for a few seconds, and said, "How did you arrange your treatment plan? It's just for Beibei to meet Zheng Dong and talk a few words? I never imagined that Beibei would say something." What?"

Qin Dangmian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "For example, what can I ask him to say?"

"Words of encouragement or comfort, in short, those words that will help Zheng Dong recover... aren't they?"

"Northern Latitude is doing very well now, um, beyond our expectations, it is performing very well."

"It sounds irresponsible. You don't seem to worry that Beibei will irritate Zheng Dong at all."

Qin Dangmian laughed, "Young man, I'm a doctor. I know what to do if something happens."

Xia Duo asked sharply: "Including like now, let a patient who has not recovered and an underage child be alone together?"

Qin Dangmian glanced at the Hiou watch on his left hand, "It's time. Don't worry, everything is under control." He pushed open the door.
