A girl in jeans and a ponytail was lying cross-legged on the hospital bed. The dirty canvas shoes on her feet were particularly striking against the snow-white sheets.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the sound of "dididi" sounded from time to time.
There was a girl lying on the bed next to her, with a bandage on her head, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the bottom of her eyes like a fan. The girl's sleeping face was pale and peaceful, as if she was having a sweet dream.
The ECG monitor at the bedside was working, and a haggard middle-aged couple sat beside the bed.
The weather is fine today. The afternoon sun slants into the ward and shines on the people on the beds. Doctors and nurses walk by from time to time in the corridor outside the door, but no one cares about the dignified man sitting on the bed in his shoes. girl.
The middle-aged woman got up slowly, walked to the window and closed the curtains.
The man persuaded: "Open it, the doctor said that the sun is good for Momo's body."
Hearing the words, the woman wiped away her tears and whimpered, "This child was well-behaved and sensible when he was a child, but when he is older, he doesn't let his parents worry about it."
The man sighed and said nothing.
The girl lying on the bed is named Su Momo, and these two are Su Momo's parents.
Su Momo is very healthy, and can even be said to be a very sunny and cheerful girl. Her family is in harmony with her parents. Su Momo has been labelled "beautiful and sensible" by friends and relatives she knows since she was a child, but just a year ago, everything is different...
The girl sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed suddenly raised her head and looked at the couple for a long time, but the latter didn't notice it.
…
Su Momo slowly opened her eyes, her brain was chaotic for a while before she completely regained consciousness, and it was an unfamiliar environment.
Su Momo frowned, and the body that had been inactive for a long time gradually felt a little sore.
Before she could react, she saw her mother's face, "Momo! Daughter, are you awake? Look at mom!"
Su Momo rolled her eyes, opened her mouth with difficulty, and said, "Water, mom, I'm thirsty."
Su's mother wiped her tears and hurriedly agreed, while Su's father on the other side went to call the doctor when her daughter woke up.
Ma Su scooped water with a spoon and fed it to Su Momo's mouth, and said, "slow down, daughter, slow down, you've been sleeping for ten days."
Su Momo was a little surprised. She looked around and determined that this was a hospital, but she couldn't remember why she was in the hospital.
On the other side, Momo Su's father walked in with the doctor, "Family, please let me go."
Su Ma put down the water cup and moved away. The doctor took a flashlight and shone into Su Momo's pupils, then looked at the ECG monitor, and said, "The patient will be fine when he wakes up, and he will do a brain CT later."
Su Momo asked, "Mom and Dad, why am I hospitalized?"
The ward suddenly became quiet, and everyone in the room stared at Momo Su, as if they were looking at an alien.
Su's mother rushed to the bedside, "Daughter, don't scare mother, you..."
Dad Su, who was on the side, quickly grabbed his wife: "The child just woke up, don't press her." Then he looked at the doctor, who pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Come out, you two."
When she came to the doctor's office, Ma Su said tearfully, "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"
"It is recommended to do a brain CT first, but from the previous film, the possibility of brain sequelae is very small, and the patient's condition is likely to be post-traumatic stress disorder."
"Post-traumatic stress disorder? What is it, doctor..."
"Family, please calm down first. This is just my inference and can't be sure. There are many manifestations of post-traumatic stress disorder. Generally, there are emotional reactions, selective forgetting, emotional anxiety, etc. Let's wait for the brain CT results to come out."
The doctor paused, looked at the haggard and bewildered two, and whispered, "If it is really selective forgetting, it may not be a bad thing for the patient, do you understand what I mean?"
Su Momo's parents left the office with mixed feelings, and returned to the ward to sort out their emotions.
Su Momo was pushed to take a CT scan of the brain, but when she turned her head, she saw a tall and thin girl following behind the nurse, looking at herself from time to time.
Su Momo recalled that she didn't seem to know the girl, but she thought: the hospital is not opened by her own, and people's freedom is where they go.
It wasn't until she entered the CT room that Momo Su noticed something was wrong. The other party actually followed her into the CT room and was standing next to the instrument. Su Momo frowned, "Doctor!"
The doctor replied, "What's wrong? Is there any discomfort?"
Su Momo raised her finger and pointed to the place where the girl was standing, but in the blink of an eye, the other party disappeared without a trace.
Su Momo felt a chill go straight to the top of her head, and the hairs on her body exploded.
She heard that this place in the hospital was "unclean", but she did not expect that this incident would be encountered by herself, so she closed her eyes to comfort herself.
"What's wrong?"
"No... nothing."
"Please lie down."
"Well, I want to ask why I was admitted to the hospital?" Su Momo couldn't remember how she got into the hospital.
"I'm in charge of filming, so I don't know. You can ask your family or the attending physician."
Su Momo said "oh" and the instrument started to work.
When Su Momo returned to the ward, she really asked why she was admitted to the hospital. Mother Su glanced at Father Su and replied, "I was in a coma for ten days in a car accident. The doctor suspects that you have damaged your brain. Now let's wait for the test results to come out. "
Su Momo was surprised: "No way?! What day is it today?"
Mother Su reported a date, Su Momo felt that it was somewhat different from her own memory, but she breathed out a sigh of relief when it was not too far behind.
Mother Su comforted: "The doctor said it's fine when you wake up, but it's just the memory of these ten days and eight days. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you have been asleep all the time. Is there any discomfort?"
Su Momo felt it, the wound on her head seemed to have healed and it was a little itchy, other than that, she didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, so she shook her head.
"That's good, what do you want to eat at night, Mom will make it for you."
Su Momo licked her lips: "I want to eat spring cakes, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge!"
Mother Su smiled and said, "Okay, my mother will go home and give you pancakes. At noon, let your father buy you some other pads."
Su Momo laughed and replied sweetly, "Thank you mom!"
Mother Su hurriedly turned around but her eyes were red. It had been a long time since her daughter smiled so brightly.
Soon after Su's mother left, Su Momo's brain CT examination results also came out. The film showed that there was no abnormality in the skull.
Su Momo's attending physician in the office explained to Su's father: "After a person is stimulated beyond the tolerance range, the brain will selectively forget some things in order to protect itself. Momo's situation... I take the liberty to say, in fact, this result is also It's a good thing."
Father Su nodded but also sighed: "Doctor, my daughter won't have any sequelae or complications, right?"
The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. The human brain is very complicated. Although there have been cases of post-traumatic amnesia, the results are not regular. There is no abnormality in the patient's brain. According to my judgment, it should not be. This is what you said."
"Thank you doctor."
"Also, it is necessary to minimize the stimulation of the patient's forgetting. It is a better choice for her to gradually accept it or simply forget it. The specific family members can control it by themselves."
"Understood, thank you doctor."
Su Momo was a little bored lying on the hospital bed. She habitually touched under the pillow but didn't find her mobile phone. She looked up at the instrument beside the bed and felt that she was in good condition, so she put it on her finger to measure the blood oxygen saturation. The probe sensor of the degree is taken off, ready to get out of bed for activities.
Suddenly, a girl's voice came from the bed next to you: "Lie down, you have been in a coma for a long time, be careful you fall."
Su Momo subconsciously replied: "It's alright, I'll hold the bed..." Su Momo turned to look, and saw the ponytail girl who had followed him into the CT room just now was sitting on the bed next to him and looked at him. She just sat cross-legged on the bed without taking off her canvas shoes.
"Ah!!!!!!!" Su Momo's screams could be heard far away. Father Su went to buy food for Su Momo, only the nurse rushed in.
Momo Su pointed at the girl, her fingertips trembling.
The nurse followed Su Momo's fingertips, and there was not even a single fold on the white sheets, "what's the matter, what happened?"
The ponytail girl smiled at Momo Su, raised her index finger to her lips, "Shh."
Su Momo felt that her heart was about to stop, so she swallowed and asked the nurse, "Excuse me, are there any other patients in this ward?"
"You live in a single room."
"The bed next to it...?"
"It's a bed."
The nurse put oxygen on Su Momo and instructed: "If you feel uncomfortable, ring the bell immediately, and you should be able to transfer to the general ward at night. Lie down on the bed first, and try not to move around without family members. "
Su Momo grabbed the nurse's arm and said, "Sister, come and talk with me..."
"Shh", a big face touched the top of Su Momo's head, the ponytail girl grinned and said, "Sister Nurse doesn't want to accompany you. They are resting and eating after a busy day."
Su Momo: "Ah!!!!!!!"
The nurse felt that Momo Su could be discharged immediately, and the angry roar almost pierced her eardrums.
The nurse was shocked by Su Momo's strange reaction and asked, "What's wrong?!"
Su Momo looked at the girl's face close at hand. Although it was pretty... But she couldn't bear it.
The ponytail girl made another gesture of silence, "Let the nurse go away, or I'll... hehe."
Su Momo's tears welled up. She covered her mouth to keep herself from crying, and looked at the nurse pitifully: "No... It's alright, sister nurse, let's go, woo woo woo."
"... Then if you feel uncomfortable, just press this button, and I'll go round the room first."
The ponytail girl's voice sounded again: "She's not going to the ward, she's going to eat the yellow braised chicken rice that was just delivered."
Su Momo watched the nurse walk to the door, and asked with a trembling voice, "sister, are you going to eat braised chicken and rice?"
The nurse suddenly turned her head and looked at Momo Su in amazement for a few seconds, then left.
Although the nurse didn't answer, Su Momo had already deduced from the other party's reaction that what the ponytail girl said was true. All the signs indicated that the "ponytail girl" was not a human being. Su Momo grabbed the quilt and covered her head and whimpered.
"Please go away, don't hurt me. I'll burn paper money for you tomorrow. If you're wronged, you can go to whomever you want, woo woo woo, mom..."
