I babysit for ghosts

Chapter 10

Many of them are semi-finished products, and there are still many places to be modified in the future. Open the design software and start working at night.

The sudden beeping of the mobile phone interrupted his thoughts, and his fingers jumped quickly on the keyboard, using various shortcut keys to enter the specified instructions to achieve the effect he wanted.With one hand free, he took the phone on the other side and turned it on. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Zhang Xuemei.

"Xiao Qin, you haven't slept yet, have you?"

He looked at the time, and it was 07:30 in the evening. He didn't know what Zhang Xuemei wanted from him, so he thought about it, edited the message and replied.

"Didn't sleep, Miss Zhang, what's the matter?"

Within a minute of sending this message, Zhang Xuemei called.

"Hey, Miss Zhang, there is..."

Qin Xiao was stunned by Zhang Xuemei's tone of voice before he could finish his sentence. Changing from the usual gentle and amiable big sister next door, what echoed in Qin Xiao's ears was that she was full of panic , the voice of helplessness and despair.

"Xiao Qin, you, can you come and help me, I really... I really can't help it, woo... I can't find anyone else, Xiao Qin, I beg you, help me..."

"Sister Zhang, calm down first, what happened to you? How can I help you?"

Zhang Xuemei's breathing was unsteady, she choked up for a while before she calmed down a little, and said in a thick nasal voice: "I can't explain on the phone, I'm in the No. [-] Hospital now, can you come over?"

Qin Xiao thought that something had happened to her, so he immediately agreed, said a few words of comfort to her, hung up the phone, got up quickly and changed into the clothes she had to go out with, there were not many clothes that Shen Tu forcibly brought over, and now the weather is getting worse. It was getting colder and colder, especially at night when the wind was very strong. He opened the cabinet, took out a black short leather jacket that had been placed here and put it on, but he didn't realize that it fit him unexpectedly in a panic.

He walked down the stairs quickly with his mobile phone, went to the entrance to change his shoes, and accidentally saw the small blackboard on the wall. He paused, picked up a pen and wrote on it: go out, go to the hospital.

After putting on his shoes, before he opened the door, he heard Shen Tu's voice from behind him.

"Where are you going at night?"

Qin Xiao turned his head and frowned as he watched him slowly walk down from the third floor.

How does this bastard always show up when it shouldn't.

"Something happened to my friend and I have to go to the hospital."

"girlfriend?"

"Female friend." Qin Xiao didn't want to talk to him, "Let's go first."

"and many more."

Qin Xiao sighed, and turned around helplessly to face him. "Uncle, tell me what you have to say, I'm in a hurry now!"

"I happen to be going to the hospital too, so I'll take you there reluctantly."

Shen Tu glanced at him lightly and walked over to change his shoes, took a car key from the shoe cabinet and motioned Qin Xiao to follow.

Following him all the way to the garage and getting into the car, Qin Xiao looked at him questioningly: "What are you going to the hospital for so late?"

Skillfully reverse the car out of the garage and drive out of the community steadily.

"I haven't gone for a review for my food allergies last time."

Choked for a moment, Qin Xiao rolled his eyes, believing that there are ghosts in this world is better than believing in Shen Tu's mouth.

After the two parked their cars in the underground garage of the First Hospital, they walked towards the place Zhang Xuemei had mentioned on the phone. As soon as they entered the hospital entrance, a familiar smell of disinfectant came over their nostrils. Qin Xiao frowned subconsciously. He took Shen Tu to the inpatient department familiarly.

Shen Tu is tall and has long legs, he looks unhurried, but in fact he takes a big step with every step, and he walks not slow at all, he followed Qin Xiao's side and glanced at the surrounding situation with his eyes.

"You are familiar with this place?"

"Better familiar than at your house."

Qin Xiao looked at the road in front of him and replied casually.

"The environment in my home is much better than here, what do you think?"

"...At least it's lively here."

Shen Tu turned his head and gave him a complicated look, but was suddenly speechless.

Because there were a lot of people waiting outside the elevator, and there were still patients among them, they chose to take the stairs. Zhang Xuemei called and said that she was at 315 on the third floor. They walked up the stairs and walked through the long corridor to find the ward.

Qin Xiao turned his head and looked at the beds inside from the doors of the wards. Many patients were lying or sitting and wearing hospital gowns. What a familiar picture. The blue and white striped clothes were the clothes he used most often when he was a child. The clothes he wore, and his longest hospitalization record was a full year and a half. At that time, he thought that he would be in the hospital bed for the rest of his life.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that Shen Tu was also looking sideways at those wards. For a moment, he didn't know what thoughts came to his mind. When he was about to explore, he had already asked a word.

"Do you think the hospital is auspicious or ominous?"

Shen Tu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at him. Because of his height, when he looked directly into Qin Xiao's eyes, his gaze was slightly downward. His thick eyelashes drooped down, and part of his bright black eyes were covered, making those eyes extraordinarily deep.

"The hospital is a place to treat people, so it is naturally not an ominous place."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he avoided his gaze and replied in a low voice.

"But this place has the most contact with death, and death is ominous."

"Who said death is ominous."

At the same time as the sound sounded, the footsteps also stopped. Qin Xiao stopped and turned to look at Shen Tu who was two steps away.

Shen Tu continued to say: "Death means the end of life, but it is also the beginning of another kind."

"Another beginning?" Qin Xiao repeated in a low voice, frowning, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of beginning is another? Isn't death the end of eternity?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, Shen Tu came over and stood in front of him, with a serious expression that Qin Xiao had never seen on his face, tilted his head and said in his ear: "Death is nothing but the corruption of the body. , your soul still exists, as long as you are strong enough, you can choose what kind of way to continue to exist."

After finishing speaking, Shen Tu ignored him and continued walking forward with long legs.

Does the soul survive after death?Can you choose how to survive?

Qin Xiao stood there in a daze. He had never been so clearly aware of how afraid of death he was like now. He thought that he had become numb to such a weak body and could easily accept the fact that he would die at any time, but it turned out not to be. , he is still afraid of death.

A person's life can be said to be long or short. The average person's life expectancy is more than 80 years, but his life span is only 23 years, which is only a quarter of it.Countless times when I thought I couldn't make it through, I still survived. Isn't it because I persisted so hard because I wanted to live longer?I hope the disease will gradually improve, and I hope to live a normal life. The world is so big, and he wants to see it with his eyes.

"What are you doing there, come here quickly."

Shen Tu had gone far away, Qin Xiao came back to his senses when he heard his voice, rubbed his hands on his face, forced himself to put those heavy things down, and followed quickly.

Shen Tu stood at the door of Ward 315, waiting for Qin Xiao to approach.

"Go in by yourself, don't talk for too long, you still have to accompany me to review."

Qin Xiao saw that he was leaning against the door frame with folded hands, showing no signs of going in, so he nodded and knocked on the door to go in.

There are three beds in this ward, but two of them are currently empty. He subconsciously looked at the bed, but found that Zhang Xuemei was not lying there, and he was relieved.

Taking a few steps closer, Qin Xiao could see more clearly. Lying on the hospital bed was a boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. There were some scars on his pale face. Bleeding.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment that he had gone to the wrong ward, but when he was about to go out, he bumped into Zhang Xuemei who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Sister Zhang, I thought something happened to you."

Zhang Xuemei didn't have any makeup on at the moment, and her face was a little haggard. After seeing Qin Xiao, she forced a smile on her face, but in Qin Xiao's opinion, this was the ugliest smile he had ever seen.

"Xiao Qin, you are here, come and sit."

"Well, you said so anxiously on the phone, I rushed over immediately, what happened?"

The two sat down in a corner away from the hospital bed. Zhang Xuemei glanced at him and then turned to look at the boy lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes immediately became moist. She raised her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, wiping away the tears that were about to fall.

"Xiao Qin, thank you for coming here so late. I know I shouldn't bother you, but my heart is too messed up. If I don't find someone to talk to, I'm afraid I will collapse."

Zhang Xuemei was a little choked up, and forced herself to calm down, and said in a low voice: "That child is my son, he is 13 years old this year, and he was born with my ex-husband. I was only 20 years old at the time, and I hadn't graduated from university. I was dazzled by love. I got pregnant before we were married, and my family wanted me to get rid of it, but I insisted on giving birth, so I took a year off from school, and got a certificate with my ex-husband before giving birth, thinking that I would have a happy family from then on.”

When Qin Xiao heard this, he almost guessed what happened next, and sure enough, he heard Zhang Xuemei say how his ex-husband had an affair, and then abandoned her. Qin Xiao, who has never experienced these things, didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to He took a tissue from the side and handed it to her.

"The child was taken by their family back then, and I could only see him once a year, but thinking that his family's good financial conditions might give the child a better life, I endured it all. I completely lost my illusion about marriage, I started to fight
