Chapter 36

The night shift in the hospital is usually not a whole night, but divided into small night shift and long night shift. The specific time is set by each hospital itself, and there is no uniform standard.The small night shift in Bo'ai Hospital is from [-]:[-] pm to midnight, and the big night shift is from [-]:[-] midnight to [-]:[-] am. The new nurses will rotate in each department, and night shifts are also necessary.

In the night shift room, the nurse who had just finished the small night shift checked the form, counted the medicines and equipment, and handed over the shift with the nurse who was on the big night shift.A new nurse named Chen Meiyi took over. Huo Ai, who had worked in the hospital for seven years, and Xu Yuyu, who had worked in the hospital for five years, were on duty with her. They could be regarded as two seniors.

Chen Meiyi was on the night shift for the first time. In the past, she always heard that there were many emergencies in the night shift at school, but from the time she watched the colleagues who had transferred to the shift leave the nurse's station until three o'clock in the morning, nothing happened.Xu Yuyu had something to do on the way, so she sent some things to another department. There were only two people in the nurse station. Chen Meiyi sat on the stool and looked through the documents on the table for a while, then sighed suddenly: "Oh...it's so quiet tonight .”

Huo Ai hurriedly poohed three times, took out a piece of graffiti and placed it on the table to worship: "The newcomer doesn't understand the rules, talk nonsense, talk nonsense!" She shouted at the stunned Chen Meiyi, "Not happy yet Come here and worship the God of Night Shift, you really want to vomit blood!"

The so-called god of the night shift really seemed to be graffiti, even the piece of paper was a straw paper issued by the department. Chen Meiyi didn't believe it, but she still couldn't refute the face of her senior, and walked over to pay a symbolic obeisance.

"You don't know how powerful the god of the night shift is," Huo Aisha said in a serious manner, "Dr. Sun of the Orthopedics Department was on the night shift the year before last, and he said, 'Why is there no work at night?', for a whole year, as long as it was his turn to be on the night shift In the evening, patients with comminuted fractures will be received, and patients who need emergency surgery overnight. The director of the department also nicknamed him "Human Bone Crusher". He used the annual leave to worship God and burn incense, so that Things are getting less and less.”

Seeing Chen Meiyi's unbelievable expression, Huo Ai coughed and said, "We medical workers have to pay attention to science. This kind of thing sounds weird, but it is also based on science. Have you heard of Murphy's Law?" , as long as there is a possibility of something going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will happen."

As soon as she finished speaking, the emergency call light at the nurse's station began to flicker, and the two of them looked at each other in blank amazement.Chen Meiyi came to her senses first, and hurried over to have a look.

It was the light of bed No. [-] in room [-]. The red light kept flashing and beeping.

Chen Meiyi turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Huo Ai: "Where are you going?"

Chen Meiyi was taken aback, pointed upstairs, and said, "A patient pressed the button, we have to go up."

"You can see clearly, that's bed No. [-]... You forgot? No. [-] just sent away an old gentleman two days ago, and there is no occupant in bed No. [-] now." Huo Ai's voice was a little low, as if scrupulous wearing something.

"So what, isn't there a new one here? Maybe he pressed it. Go up and have a look and you'll know." Chen Meiyi was a little disapproving.

Huo Ai frowned: "The new kid? His leg is so heavy in plaster that he can still turn on the lamp. Don't be ridiculous."

There is a rule in the hospital that when the emergency call light is on, the nurse must go, otherwise it will be dealt with as leaving the post without authorization. Chen Meiyi does not want to be punished on the first day, why: "There are rules..."

Huo Ai waved his hand: "In a word, if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will be at a disadvantage. If you have to go, you can do whatever you want. I'll go to the bathroom."

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Chen Meiyi stopped her a few times but failed to stop her, and she was suddenly in a dilemma.There are relatively few people on duty in the inpatient department, and the outpatient departments of various departments need manpower. Xu Yuyu hasn't come back yet, so I really dare not ask her to go alone.

Chen Meiyi's eyes became firm, and she decided to wait for Huo Ai to come back, and drag her upstairs together no matter what she said.Not long after she sat down, the landline on the table rang, showing the hospital extension number.

Before she could speak after the call was connected, Huo Ai's voice came from the microphone: "Hello? Meiyi, come up. I'm on the third floor. There is a patient who needs help. Come up quickly."

Chen Meiyi stood up from the stool: "Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why did you go upstairs?"

"Don't ask so many questions, come up!" Huo Ai's voice was a little anxious, and Chen Meiyi couldn't help but think about the worst. Is there a patient who is suddenly critically ill?She quickly said, "Okay! I'll be right there."

Before she could hang up the phone, Chen Meiyi turned around hastily, but was frightened by the person standing quietly at the door and let go of her hands. The microphone hit the table and made a bang in the silent night.Her face was pale, and the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat caused a layer of sweat to break out on her back, and she was speechless with her slightly opened mouth.

Huo Ai, who was standing at the door, came in with a puzzled face: "Who are you calling, why are you so scared?"

Chen Meiyi regained her composure and picked up the microphone again, but only heard a blind voice coming from inside.She slowly put the microphone back, and did not immediately respond to the person in front of her. Chen Meiyi calmed herself down, and then pressed the button to check the call history.

The last call was eight past two, and it is already three twenty.From the phone call just now, it seemed that apart from Chen Meiyi, there was still a little voice in her head, and there was almost no trace of it.

Chen Meiyi's face was a little ugly, she squeezed out a smile, and said, "I may be hallucinating, I said... I'm calling you, do you believe it?"

Huo Ai laughed: "You are kidding me!"

Chen Meiyi also laughed a few times dryly. She lowered her head, looked at Huo Ai's snow-white nurse shoes, and suddenly asked softly, "Sister Ai, have you changed your shoes yet?"

"No, why are you asking this?" Huo Ai stood there with a smile on his lips.

"It's nothing, I... go to the toilet." Chen Meiyi turned around calmly, and couldn't help speeding up her pace after walking out of the nurse's station. The eyes of the man behind her were fixed on her body like a thorn on her back.What Huo Ai said when the shift was over continued to echo in my ears——

"Today was really unlucky. A pair of new shoes came through. As a result, a patient in the lobby suddenly vomited, right next to me, and splashed my shoe. My heart hurts!"

Chen Meiyi walked for a while to reach the fork in the corridor, turned around and stepped on the stairs, running desperately.

The voice-activated light in the corridor on the third floor has been around for some years, and it has been flashing since it was turned on. She couldn't help but slow down and look up.The flickering frequency gradually synchronized with the call light at the nurse's station, and after a few breaths, it completely went out.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a white figure standing at the stairway leading from the second floor to the third floor, wearing her familiar nurse's uniform, reflecting the moonlight coming in through the corridor window, showing a faint blue color.

Who is that?"Huo Ai" downstairs followed?Chen Meiyi immediately turned her head, left the stairs, walked to the corridor on the third floor, and ran towards [-].

The lights in the corridor were not on, and were turned to a dim brightness. Chen Meiyi stopped suddenly, and she saw the figure of a child standing at the door of [-], or...it was a figure resembling a human.

After all, the child's proportions are too uncoordinated, the head is surprisingly large compared to the body.

The figure seemed to have seen her too, turned around and ran towards the corridor at the other end. The sound of footsteps was very clear in the corridor, and he ran upstairs.

Chen Meiyi was a little frightened, panting for breath, staring straight ahead, the light above her head seemed to be getting dimmer, but she still gritted her teeth and followed in the end.

Almost the moment she raised her foot and ran away, the previous white figure appeared in the corridor behind her.

There was no one along the way, all the patients and family members who accompanied the bed were in the room, and the doors of the ward were tightly closed.This was too abnormal, but she couldn't tell what was abnormal, what happened tonight was beyond her common sense, she was so flustered that she couldn't think, and she was only driven by instinct to make mechanical movements.

Chen Meiyi followed the child closely, feeling that her lungs were about to explode. The child stopped suddenly and stood in front of a ward, and she also stopped a few meters away.The door of that ward was open, and it seemed that a wind was blowing in, blowing the hem of the child's clothes and gently rolling them.

He turned his head to look at Chen Meiyi, a pair of frighteningly large eyes seemed to have no whites, and the protruding bones could be seen on the neck exposed from the hospital gown when twisting.

Chen Meiyi panted heavily, saw his appearance clearly, and was sure that even though he was terribly thin, he was indeed a living person.

He pointed to the ward, Chen Meiyi seemed to realize something, walked over quickly, and rushed into the ward.

But it was still a step too late. The patient who climbed up the window sill just looked back at her, and jumped down from the window sill on the sixth floor without any hesitation.

Chen Meiyi suddenly turned her head to look at the child at the door. The child didn't look surprised at all, but there was death in his eyes, like a walking dead.

The patient who jumped off the building in the early morning had bone cancer at an advanced stage, and various complications suddenly occurred after the operation. At that time, the family members who kept saying that they would go bankrupt and have to be treated for the disease quietly left him in the hospital without a trace.After the money stored in the card was exhausted, the hospital did not drive him out. Several doctors and nurses in the department pooled money to pay for his hospitalization fee and basic medicine expenses, which barely lasted for two months.

However, under the double torment of illness and being abandoned by his family, the patient still chose to give up his life.Time of death, three forty-five.

Chen Meiyi was comforted by Xu Yuyu, who had caught up with Wen Sheng. Although she witnessed a suicide, she did not overreact, but was a little dazed, as if she hadn't figured out what happened.

Xu Yuyu came back after delivering things to the doctor at night. At that time, she saw Chen Meiyi falling asleep in the nurse's station, so she went to check the ward by herself.When a patient suddenly vomited blood on the third floor, Xu Yuyu hurriedly called for help, but found that the phone at the nurse's station was busy all the time, so she could only contact the doctor first, and she managed to do some emergency treatment by herself.

Fortunately, the patient's condition was not serious and he stabilized soon.Xu Yuyu returned to the nurse's station with a sore back, but only saw an empty nurse's station. She thought that Chen Meiyi might have gone to the toilet, and when she went to the window to sit down, she heard a blunt "bang".

It was the sound of heavy objects falling, and she was familiar with it.

Xu Yuyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran out to check the situation.

The situation was very tragic. After the suicide fell to the ground, the upward side of the head was intact. It didn’t look serious, but when you get closer, you can see that half of the landing has been broken. If you lift his head now, the inside of the skull will be damaged. Tissues, including the brain, will fall out along with the half-shattered bone and flesh.

He died almost instantly.

After confirming the situation, Xu Yuyu returned to the nurse's station and dialed the director's phone number. This kind of thing had happened before. Xu Yuyu knew the process and reported it to the hospital leadership before calling the police.

After the witnesses queued up to record the statement, the director of the department and the patient's attending physician, Dr. Sun, also rushed over. The police investigated the scene and collected evidence. There was a suicide note beside the patient's bed, which was obviously a suicide.After the director talked with the police officer who led the team, he closed the team, and the corpse was temporarily sent to the hospital mortuary.

The director handed Chen Meiyi over to Xu Yuyu for comfort, and then left, leaving only the two of them in the entire nurse station.

Chen Meiyi sat quietly in the nurse's station with a cup of hot water for a while. Diagonally across from her was the child who had been brought back to the ward not long ago by his mother.Chen Meiyi gradually cleared things up, and she asked, "Sister Xiyu, where is Sister Ai?"

"Sister Ai?" Xu Yuyu didn't understand who she was asking.

Chen Meiyi stared into her eyes, looking for every trace of jokes, she urgently needed a definite answer: "It's Huo Ai who is on duty with us, Sister Ai."

"Huo Ai?" Xu Yuyu looked at her suspiciously, "Where did you hear that? Are you trying to scare me on purpose? Let me tell you, don't listen to those little nurses talking nonsense and gossip about supernatural events in the hospital all day long. What happened just now, do you still have the heart to joke?"

Chen Meiyi stared at her blankly, moved her mouth twice, but did not make a sound, she lowered her eyelids and raised them quickly: "But someone said her name was Huo Ai, and she also told me that Dr. Sun's nickname is ' Bone Crusher', she also took me to worship the God of the Night Shift...it's true!"

Xu Yuyu's complexion changed again and again, and he hesitated to say: "Dr. Sun's nickname has been five years. Huo Ai used to be a nurse who followed Dr. Sun. He died suddenly on the job while working with Dr. Sun on the night shift. It has been four years. .”

Chen Meiyi's face turned pale, and the blood on her lips also lost color.Xu Yuyu gritted her teeth and said, "But before... some colleagues said they met her before, don't be afraid, she doesn't mean anything malicious. Why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll ask you for a day off tomorrow?"

Chen Meiyi lost her language ability all of a sudden, there is really a ghost...

no offence?The one on the phone, or the one standing at the door, which one is harmless?Which is the real Huo Ai?That child... Chen Meiyi suddenly realized, how did he know that child took her to that ward?

In room [-], the curtain of bed No. [-] was pulled tightly. Zhao Yixin wrung out the towel with trembling hands, and wiped Zhou Boyan's hands and face. She tried to calm herself down, but it didn't help.Tears pooled in her eye sockets, blurring her vision, and she couldn't see her son clearly. She blinked her eyes vigorously, squeezed the tears out of her eye sockets, and wiped Zhou Boyan's exposed skin with sobs.

She stayed up late every day and only slept for a few hours, just to take care of Zhou Boyan. She didn't expect him to sneak out tonight and witness such a thing.But she is really tired. She can persist without sleep for a short time, but absolutely not for a long time. Her body has reached its limit and she is extremely sleepy. She is so annoyed at her own powerlessness that she doesn't want to keep going. She almost wants to commit suicide with her son. never mind.

But the son kept telling her that he wanted to live, not die.

She also wants to live, but living is really tiring.

Zhou Boxan shrank his hands: "Mom, it hurts."

Zhao Yixin's movements stopped, and the area on Zhou Boyan's body that had been wiped turned red.Zhao Yixin wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth: "I'm sorry, mom was distracted just now."

Zhou Boyan shook his head: "It's okay." His expression and tone were very calm, "He took another person away, next time, will it be me?"

This is not the first time he said this. Zhao Yixin didn't know whether the "he" in his words was a man or a woman, and Zhou Boyan couldn't tell, but he always said that after patients passed away, they were taken away. .

Zhao Yixin didn't believe it before. What she knows is that when children feel neglected, they will always say some strange words and do some strange things to gain attention.She cared more about him, and even kept close to him except to solve his physical problems, but Zhou Boyan would still say that.Zhao Yixin didn't know how to solve it, so she could only observe secretly. She firmly believed that there must be a reason for him to behave like this, and it might be counterproductive to stop him violently.

Until a few nights ago, Zhou Boyan suddenly looked at the bedside before going to sleep, his eyes widened in horror, and it took more than ten seconds before he calmed down.This room is only that big, Zhao Yixin didn't see anyone there at all, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Boyan looked straight at her: "That old man is about to be taken away."

Zhao Yixin looked around vigilantly, Zhou Boyan's voice was a little low, no one noticed here, the grandfather on the second bed always went to bed early, and now he has fallen asleep.She lightly patted Zhou Boxan's arm: "Stop talking, go to sleep."

The next day, Zhao Yixin got up early and was in a hurry to fetch water from the hot water room, so she didn't pay attention to anything else. When she came back from the hot water room, she saw doctors and nurses pushing a bed away from [-], and there was a person lying on the bed.Zhao Yixin had an ominous premonition in her heart, she walked into the ward, and sure enough, the second bed was already empty.

Zhou Boxan had been in a state of reluctance to communicate with others for a long time before. Zhao Yixin only thought that the child was sick and was in a bad mood, but after this incident, she realized the seriousness of the matter and even wanted to transfer him to another to the hospital.But Bo'ai Hospital is the best hospital in this city, and she doesn't have any extra money to take Zhou Boxan to other places, so she can only hide everything and pretend it never happened.

She can bear all the suffering and tiredness, but facing the unknown makes her despair keep breeding and cannot be suppressed.
