Although I was very curious about the two words the girl and the Taoist said, I didn't ask directly. I could see that the man in Hanfu was now sinking into painful memories.
After a long time, the man in Hanfu slowly opened his mouth: "The girl told the young man back then that she would always wait for the moment when the young man changed his mind. The girl did what she said, and the young man knew from the Taoist priest that the girl had been with the young man after she died. By my side, I never left, waiting for the young man to change his mind."
"The boy never forgot what the girl said, but he felt that he didn't trust the girl as much as the girl trusted him. He felt that he didn't deserve to have a girl."
"The young man was in great pain. He wanted to see the girl, but the girl never showed up. The young man felt that the girl was unwilling to forgive him and said a lot of things he shouldn't have said."
"The girl finally appeared. It turned out that it wasn't that the girl didn't want to come out, but that she had been avoiding the ghost messenger in the underworld. Not long after the girl came out, the girl was taken away by the ghost messenger."
"The young man knows that he makes mistakes again and again."
I nodded, not knowing how to comfort the man in Hanfu, and finally I could only say: "Since you have experienced similar things, why do you still have to arrest the female ghost?"
The man in Hanfu looked at me and showed a wry smile: "Did you know? The girl was sentenced to imprisonment for avoiding the ghost messenger, and I worked hard to become the ghost messenger, just to catch the escaped ghost into the forbidden room every time. Take a look at her.
Because this female ghost ran away from me, I have not seen a girl for almost 60 years. "
I grew my mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time.
The man in Hanfu wiped away the blood and tears on his face, and said with a smile: "I am atonement, even if you think I am numb or cruel, I will not let the female ghost go."
I still didn't speak, and silently took out a cigarette and lit it. The light in the operating room turned green amidst the smoke.
After a while, Li Tie was pushed out, holding the insole tightly in his hands. Neither the man in Hanfu nor I moved, because the female ghost was not in the insole.
It wasn't until Li Tie was pushed far away that the female ghost slowly walked out of the operating room, watched Li Tie disappear at the corner at the end, and then came to us.
The man in Hanfu looked at me: "Are you going to stop me?"
I pursed my lips and didn't speak.
The female ghost smiled and said: "I heard your story, take me away, I don't want Brother Tie to know about me, and I don't want him to visit me."
The man in Hanfu nodded slowly: "Thank you."
The female ghost smiled and shook her head, then gave me a salute: "Thank you, but please don't tell Brother Tie about me."
"good"
The female ghost saluted again, then followed the man in Hanfu into a pitch-black ball of light and disappeared.
After I finished smoking the cigarette in my hand, I slowly walked towards the ward.
Although he had just finished the operation, Li Tie was in good spirits. He was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the insole in his hand in a daze.
He Qiang greeted me before waking Li Tie up.
"Xiao Wu." Li Tie greeted me weakly.
I walked to the hospital bed, looked at Li Tie, and then said with a smile, "My uncle is in good spirits."
"Xiao Wu." Li Tie ignored my concern about his condition, but looked at me strangely: "You..."
Seeing the weird expression on Li Tie's face, I asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Tie thought for a while and said, "I think the insole is weird, like, like..."
Li Tie talked for a long time, but couldn't think of any words to describe it.
My heart trembled, and I felt very uncomfortable, but I still said: "Uncle Li, it must be your psychological effect, what's so strange about the insoles?"
Li Tie nodded, but his face was still full of doubts, looking over and over at the insole in his hand.
I stayed with Li Tie for a while, and under He Qiang's arrangement, I went to get Li Tie's daily necessities. When I arrived at the hospital again, I found that He Qiang was not accompanying Li Tie in the ward, but was sitting on a bench outside. superior.
"Brother Qiang, why are you sitting here?"
He Qiang raised his head and looked at me with red eyes: "Sit down first."
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle Li is in the emergency room."
"Ah" I was a little confused about the situation. Isn't Li Tie doing well after the operation? Why did he enter the emergency room again
I was about to ask He Qiang, but a nurse hurried over, looked at us and said, "You are Li Tie's family members, right?"
He Qiang and I should be at the same time, the nurse said anxiously: "Go to the emergency room quickly."
He Qiang and I looked at each other. Although we didn't know what happened, we both followed the nurse and trotted anxiously to the emergency room.
The door of the emergency room was open, and from a distance, several doctors could be seen talking quietly around the hospital bed.
Seeing us passing by, a doctor came over with a sigh and said, "Quickly persuade the patient, the patient has lost the will to live now."
"how so?"
The doctor shook his head and said: "I don't know, the operation was successful, but the patient took out the infusion tube for some reason, and then suffered cardiac arrest, and now he does not cooperate with the treatment at all. You also know that the patient is old after all. , it would be dangerous."
I nodded: "I'll go in and have a look."
I went into the emergency room and the doctors and nurses walked out to give me space.
Li Tie's face is very ugly now, lying on the hospital bed, his eyes are helplessly looking at the ceiling, and the insole is still in his hand, and part of it has been torn off for some reason.
"uncle."
As soon as I opened my mouth, Li Tie stopped me with a wave of his hand.
"Xiao Wu, I can feel that the insole is different, it's different."
I forced a smile and said, "How can it be different, sir, you are thinking too much."
Li Tie shook his head slowly: "No, it's not that I'm thinking too much, but that the insoles are really different, and it's different when I come out of the operating room."
"What could be different."
"I don't know, I just feel empty inside."
I was silent for a while, and said, "Master, your wife made the insoles for you, what's the difference?"
Li Tie shook his head and stopped talking. I tried to persuade him, but Li Tie stopped answering me.
Seeing that my persuasion was useless, the doctor simply used sleeping medicines on Li Tie, and only started the infusion of medicines when Li Tie fell into a deep sleep.
After everything was done, the doctor called He Qiang and me outside.
"The patient's mentality is not conducive to treatment. You need to find a way to stimulate the hope of survival in the elderly."
He Qiang and I both nodded and looked at each other with a bitter look on our faces. I don't understand why Li Tie could feel the disappearance of the female ghost, but he gave us a huge problem.
How can this stubborn old man arouse the hope of survival? He Qiang and I discussed it for a long time, but we couldn't think of any good solution.
Should I tell Li Tie about the female ghost? I'm not sure. Moreover, I am also worried about Li Tie's reaction after hearing it.
