Chapter 8: St. Elizabeth 1
When she ran to the door and was about to open it, Zhao Lan called to stop urgently, "Wait a minute! Will there be any accidents if you just open the door like this?"
She can't be blamed for thinking too much, it's because so many fake food delivery staff yesterday caused a great psychological shadow on them. Zhou Xiaozhen stopped moving, obviously she also thought of this.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Yu smiled and said, "Open the door."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Gah?"
"Trust me." Yu Xiao gave her a look, just about to explain.
"Click." It was the sound of the door opening.
A bony hand reached in, carrying a package, "Sign it."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Okay."
Yu Xiao: "..."
After the door was closed again, Zhou Xiaozhen carried the heavy mahjong box with a happy face, "Hahahaha, I got my artifact!"
Halfway through the smile, she saw Yu Xiao looking at her with a complicated face, and she shuddered in her heart, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xiao: "...you open the door right now?"
"Otherwise?" Zhou Xiaozhen had a silly and sweet face, "You said you can open the door."
"..." Yu Xiao's mood was complicated and indescribable, he said to himself, silly boy, you trust me too much, don't you even listen to the reason?
Seeing her complex expression, Zhou Xiaozhen became worried, "Is there a problem?"
"...No." Yu smiled and said, "Let's have breakfast."
"Okay, I'm hungry too." Zhou Xiaozhen hiccuped, she didn't sleep all night last night, but she didn't dare to sleep during the day, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night. "Are you still using yesterday's method to identify the delivery staff?"
"No need." Yu Xiao smiled strangely, "It doesn't need to be so complicated today."
The trolley made a rattling sound in the aisle, and the delivery man licked the corners of his mouth in a good mood. The patient just now was really delicious. He only ate 70% full. It would be great if he could add another meal.
There was a ward ahead with a strong fragrance, and it was still full, so I couldn't wait to get closer, trying to make my voice more natural, "Hello, do you want food?"
"Hello, I want food." A young woman's voice came from the ward.
Ah, young people's meat is tender, and women's meat is even more tender. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
"What kind of food do you need?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of food you want." The young voice still said in the room: "We have a set of mahjong props, and three of them are missing one. Do you want to come in and play?"
"..."
The sound of carts re-emerged in the aisle. Mahjong is really annoying, so it won't be easily fooled!
I don't know if it's because of luck or other reasons, but the second delivery man is the real delivery man.
The three were eating breakfast happily, Zhao Lan asked, "Xiaozhen, how many days do you have left?"
Zhou Xiaozhen said, "Oh, I only have three months left."
There are only three months left... Zhao Lan almost shed tears when she thought of her twenty-one days. She said: "I just went to the mall to see that one point can buy ten days. I only have three points, and if I use it all to buy time, I can only live for one month."
Yu Xiao thought for a while and said, "I have ten points, and I can share five with you."
"No." Zhao Lan shook her head and said, "You don't have much more time than me, and ten points are not too much. If you want to survive, you still have to receive treatment."
You can get points for every course of treatment you receive, but according to what Yu Xiao saw in the forum of the Fourth Hospital, those treatments are very dangerous, and there are very few wards that can be saved. Sometimes it’s good to be able to survive only one person . But if you don't receive treatment, you can only watch the time go by, or you will die.
"Sister Lan, are you sure?" Yu Xiao looked at her worriedly.
"I'm sure." Zhao Lan said very simply.
"That's good." Yu Xiao also decided, "I'll be with you."
"Then I want to be together too." Zhou Xiaozhen still had rice sticking to her mouth, "It's a routine in horror movies, people can't be separated, otherwise there will be accidents. Besides, you guys went for treatment, leaving me alone is so lonely."
As if she was afraid that they would refuse, Zhou Xiaozhen continued: "And my mahjong can only be used by four people. If you are gone, I can't use mahjong to threaten the delivery person. I will starve to death."
"..." Well, this reason is really convincing.
"Alright." Yu smiled and said, "Let's sign up for the next course of treatment in the evening. I have some time in the afternoon to draw two more talismans."
Yu Xiao spent the whole afternoon drawing talismans, Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen leaned together and used Yu Xiao's mobile phone to read posts in the forum of the Fourth Academy. The experience posts written by the old drivers in the Fourth Hospital are very useful, and they also wrote copies of all the treatments that I personally experienced.
According to their knowledge, each copy will have an attending doctor, which is equivalent to guiding the existence of NPC. The attending doctor will not harm others. To be precise, he cannot actively and obviously harm others, but he cannot help patients either.
Some copies of the course of treatment are reused, which means that they may enter a copy in the post. Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen wished they could memorize all the dungeon information they saw, so as to be prepared.
After dinner in the evening, the three of them got together nervously. On the personal homepage of the forum, the option of whether to participate in tomorrow's treatment was shining brightly. The three held hands, Zhao Lan said, "Together!"
Press the confirmation button with three fingers at the same time, and a small skull on the screen grinned and blew a kiss, "Thank you for your active cooperation, Chiu Mi"
After signing up, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Yu smiled and said, "Let's take a good rest tonight, recharge our energy, and prepare for tomorrow. I'll stick the talisman on the door, so there shouldn't be any rounds tonight."
"Yeah!" The three climbed onto their respective beds.
Suddenly Zhao Lan slapped her thigh, "Damn it!"
Yu Xiao and Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her at the same time, "What's wrong?"
"I said I wanted to complain about the ward rounder last night, but I actually forgot." Zhao Lan regretted it, and quickly took out her mobile phone to call the Medical Dispute Office of the Sixth Hospital.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please try again later..."
"Damn it!" Zhao Lan almost threw the phone away, "It's off work again!"
Because of the talisman paper on the door, no one disturbed their sleep that night, and everyone slept soundly and deeply. Yu Xiao also had a sweet dream. She didn't remember the content of the dream, but when she woke up in the morning, the pillow was wet with saliva.
"Good luck that good luck good luck..."
Yu Xiao woke up to cheerful and festive music, it was Zhao Lan's alarm clock. Zhao Lan held the phone and said, "It's half past seven, it's time to wake up, comrades."
Yu Xiao and Zhou Xiaozhen woke up like walking corpses, washed their face and brushed their teeth. When they came out of the bathroom, they saw Zhao Lan changing clothes, sitting on the bed and staring at the phone nervously.
Zhou Xiaozhen wondered, "Sister Lan, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the time." Zhao Lan looked as if he was facing an enemy, "I have to call the Medical Dispute Office after eight o'clock and before the treatment starts, and I must complain about it severely!"
"Is this the persistence of social people?" Yu Xiao didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
"Ding dong"
At eight o'clock, a reminder sounded, and the curtains in the ward opened automatically, revealing the beautiful scenery outside.
Accompanied by soft music, Zhao Lan immediately called the Medical Dispute Office.
This time the call was finally connected, and the person who answered the phone was a very magnetic male voice comparable to an announcer.
"Hello, this is the Medical Dispute Office of the Sixth Hospital."
Zhao Lan: "Hi, I want to complain."
"...OK, what do you want to complain about?"
"The three people in our ward fell asleep the night before, but when the round nurse came in, he not only disturbed our sleep with loud noises, but also shook us with his hands, which seriously affected our rest." Zhao Lan's voice was crying, "you know The patients in our ward are all cancer patients. They are tortured by the disease every day. We finally fell asleep at night and were woken up. We didn’t sleep all night, and our bodies were about to fail. Her behavior seriously affected the relationship between doctors and patients... "
"..."
"Okay, I have received your complaint." The other party was silent for a while, and quickly answered Zhao Lan professionally, "Are you reporting by real name?"
Zhao Lan: "Yes, report by real name."
"Okay, what's your nickname?"
Zhao Lan: "Nicknames are so difficult."
"...OK, may I ask what ward you are in?"
Zhao Lan: "Number four."
"Thank you for your support to our work. After the staff verify, we will reply you as soon as possible. I wish you a happy mood and a speedy recovery, bye"
"Okay." Zhao Lan put down the phone, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "I feel as if some terrible power in my body has awakened."
"Sister Lan is mighty!"
A soft female voice sounded on the radio, "Today is really a beautiful day. The hardworking medical staff are already in place and are eagerly looking forward to the patient's arrival."
In the next second, Yu Xiao's eyes went dark, and when she regained her vision, she had already appeared in a strange passageway. This is an aisle outside a hospital ward. The walls on both sides are old and yellowed. It is obviously not the aisle of the People's Hospital where they stayed. The light was dim yellow, and under such light, the paintings on the wall also became dim.
Although it was not very clear, Yu Xiao still saw the painting of a building that said - St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital.
Yu Xiao turned his head and found Zhou Xiaozhen and Zhao Lan beside him, with the same confused expressions.
"Good afternoon." A strange voice attracted everyone's attention.
There was a person standing silently beside them, Yu Xiao looked at him. It was a doctor-looking man in his thirties, tall and slender, wearing a white coat and neatly combing his hair.
At this time, he had a slight smile on his face, staring at the three of them with deep eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hung on his tall nose. The lips under the nose are neither thick nor thin, and the color is light and can be said to be pale.
"Good afternoon, three ladies." The deep and magnetic voice added to his charm, "I am your attending doctor, you can just call me Dr. George."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked in front of the three on the right, "The treatment is about to start this afternoon, follow my pace, and don't fall behind."
Yu Xiao and the three looked at each other and followed silently.
George led them to turn left and right, and finally came to a place similar to a tea restaurant.
It's a big place with few tables. There are more than a dozen chairs in the middle to form a circle, and there are already many people sitting on it, but only three chairs are empty.
