Gu Xizhou was a little confused. The old man just lay on his 'body', lying flat. The old man couldn't move his body. After a while, Gu Xizhou made sure of one thing. After entering the door this time, where his soul is The thing is not a person, but a bed.
The bed is epiphytic, which means the door is on the bed.
The old man was completely paralyzed. He just lay on the bed like this every day, doing nothing and thinking about nothing. Gu Xizhou could clearly perceive the other party's emotions, and his mind went blank.
After the old man's family sent him to the nursing home, they would come to the nursing home once a week. It could be seen that the man worked very hard. Every time he came, he had dark circles under his eyes, and he tried to chat with the old man. did not answer him.
"Crack."
The old man's son is here again.
After dragging his tired body into the room, the man took a deep breath and walked up to the old man with a strong energy. He asked with a smile, "Dad, how are you doing these days?"
The old man's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and there was nothing to say in his mouth, so he had to raise the corners of his mouth, meaning that he was fine and that his son didn't need to worry.
The man was silent for a while, then picked up the apple on the side, peeled it with a knife, cut it into small pieces and sent them to the old man's mouth, "Dad, I'm going to go on a business trip again in a few days, about a month, this one. I won't be able to see you anymore."
The old man seemed to want to nod his head to show that he knew, but because of his long-term paralysis, almost all the muscles in his body had shrunk, and he couldn't move at all.
Gu Xizhou silently looked at the interaction between the old man and the man in front of him. The man stayed in the room of the nursing home for an afternoon before leaving.
The ward fell into dead silence again. Usually, the old man would only be in a silent daze. He would only think about something when a man came. I don't know why Gu Xizhou, who was the bed, could clearly perceive what the old man was thinking this time.
"It's all because my paralysis drags down my son, so he can't marry a wife now..."
The scene in front of him flashed by, Gu Xizhou saw the middle-aged old man. When the old man was accidentally paralyzed, his son had just graduated from college. This young man was taking care of his father while working. The young man originally came from the countryside. Yes, there is not much money, and there is no girl willing to marry a young man with this old man.
Until now, he is thirty-four or five years old, and he has not married or had children. It was not until the past two years that the young man's life changed with the development of his career. After he was promoted, he needed to travel frequently. Only then did he contact the nursing home and send the old man to the nursing home for care.
As the old man recalled, Gu Xizhou felt something wet on his body, and the sheets were soaked with tears.
Then for the next few days... The old man went on a hunger strike.
The scrawny old man stared at the ceiling in a daze. He was putting glucose in his hands. Because he was on a hunger strike and the nursing home was afraid of taking responsibility, he had to forcibly infuse the old man with the nutrients he needed every day.
Why, I'm not dead yet.
The man who came in a hurry cried and begged his father to eat, "Dad, just eat, please!"
"Dad, I told you before, I don't want you to die because you feel dragging me down, I am willing to take care of you, just like you took care of me when you were young.
"Please, I still want to work, so don't make trouble for me. If you are like this, I can't do my job well at all. When I get promoted again, I will have more money in the future, and I will naturally be able to marry a wife, Dad... Don't you go on like this, okay? Don't you want to see me marry a wife?"
Gu Xizhou saw the man kneeling on the ground and begging, his appearance was really pitiful.
The old man finally opened his mouth to eat amid the cries of his son. The days went by, and day after day, one day a man really brought a woman to the hospital.
"Dad, this is Wen Hua. We are already discussing marriage. I will bring her to meet you today!"
When the old man heard this, his eyes fell on the woman, and the corners of his eyes were instantly covered with smile lines.
The breath of death spread throughout the room, and the old man finally closed his eyes slowly in peace. As the old man's bed, Gu Xizhou could clearly feel the happiness in the old man's heart.
A few days after the old man's death, Gu Xizhou saw the old man's son again, eh... Didn't the man's wife come with him
After the man came in, he started to pack up, putting the old man's things one by one in his pockets. He seemed a little tired after a while, so he simply sat on the bed, lowered his head, and let out a long breath.
After a while, Gu Xizhou found that the man was sitting still on the bed and kept his movement. After a long time, the nurse of the nursing home opened the door and came in.
"Mr. Kong, the sanatorium is closing, you... are you okay?" the female nurse asked.
But the man didn't answer. The nurse walked in with a frown and tried to pat the man's shoulder with his hand. With this pat, the man's body fell to the ground!
His body has become icy cold.
"Dead, dead!" The woman cried out in horror.
But Gu Xizhou was not surprised. Not long after the man sat on the bed, Gu Xizhou clearly found that the bed had a 'thought', and he finally found the owner of the door.
The door was not on the bed, but on the man's body.
Gu Xizhou knew the cause of the man's death, and he died suddenly due to overwork.
Then this hospital bed welcomed a second old man. The old man was not paralyzed. There were four children at home, but none of the four children wanted to let the old man live at home, so the four children paid together to send the old man to this nursing home. .
The old man's four children have not been there since.
At night, the old man sat on the bed in a daze.
Every day the old man is like this, sitting for a while, sitting quietly alone, not talking, not chatting, sitting on the bed and not going out.
until the old man dies.
One after another old man appeared on this hospital bed, and Gu Xizhou felt lifeless around him every day.
With the passage of time, the nursing home also began to change slowly. The people here began to be rude to those elderly people whose relatives did not come to visit. Instead of taking care of them as carefully as before, they had a bad attitude, and sometimes even said some embarrassing words. stimulate these patients.
"Che, what's wrong with slowing down? Do you really think your family will come back to see you? They've all gone abroad, and they've paid for ten years at a time, and they won't come back in the future, won't they just slow down a bit? They'll die. what?"
"The blood has flowed back into the blood tube, I, I...you..." The old man was lying on the bed angrily arguing with the nurse in front of him, his face flushed red.
"What? Che, I'm still not willing to take care of you! Tomorrow I'll go and take care of you. Whoever loves to take care of you will take care of you. There are so many things to do!"
The old man was inconvenient, so he could only move his mouth, and it was really helpless to take the carer in front of him.
It was night again, the old man had just returned from the hospital because of his poor health, so he was still infusion every day, the same as in the daytime, but the nurse didn't come on time.
At this moment, the bed, to be precise, the bed sheet moved. The bed seemed to have life. At night, the bed sheet was like a pair of hands, turning off the switch of the infusion tube for the immobile old man.
"I forgot to turn off the infusion tube for the old thing yesterday!"
The nurse came in a hurry and found that the infusion tube had been closed for a long time, and the old man was still asleep. The nurse rubbed his eyes. Did he come last night
Forget it, it's closed anyway.
Everyone who stays in this ward will be taken care of by the bed. At night, the infusion tube is turned off, the quilt is covered, and the water is delivered... It seems that the bed in the ward is the one who picked up the quilt for Grandma Song.
Gu Xizhou found that this bed really slowly began to establish a strange connection with the young man who died suddenly on the bed. Although he could not see the soul of a man, this bed was a man, and a man was this bed.
Nursing homes are, after all, a place full of negative energy. Compared to the happy first old man, more patients have their own misfortunes.
The bed started to have its own mood, it was very unhappy.
"Crash."
With the sound of the chain sliding slowly, Gu Xizhou determined that the chain on the man was broken.
As the attitude of the staff in the nursing home became worse and worse, the chains on the man attached to the bed were still broken, and strange things began to occur in the hospital, with people dying every day.
This bed created panic and the entire nursing home staff died, no one dared to come to work here, all the patients left, the nursing home declared bankruptcy, and this bed was left in this room forever.
The scene in front of him was scene after scene. Gu Xizhou's mind suddenly sank and went blank. The dazzling sunlight outside the curtains instantly fell on his eyelids, illuminating his eyes red.
"Whoo- it's out."
Gu Xizhou heard someone whispering in his ear, opened his eyes, and saw Si Yu looking at him tenderly, lightly stroked Gu Xizhou's hair with his hand, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Gu Xizhou smiled and heard a heavy gasp in his ears. When he turned his head, he saw Fang Zhi sweating profusely, as if he had just run a thousand meters.
"Brother Gu, you see, it's the bed, the door is on the bed!" Fang Zhi said.
Gu Xizhou nodded, "The soul of the 'Mr. Kong' who died suddenly is connected to the bed. Before that bed had no thoughts, and could only sense the patient's emotions, but after the death of that Mr. Kong, he began to have emotional."
Fang Zhi thought for a while, and muttered in a low voice, "But I feel a little strange. Those ghosts could see them when they were possessed before, but this time, they can't. From the beginning to the end, they can only see the bed."
Gu Xizhou frowned slightly when he heard Fang Zhi's words, it was indeed a little different.
He wanted to ask Si Yu's judgment, but Si Yu smiled and did not participate in this topic, nor did he express any opinion.
