"Later, my father was in a car accident and died unexpectedly. My grandfather took me and my mother back and recognized my identity and my mother's identity. However, my father's death was a huge blow to her. I started to have mental problems." After Yu Qiubai said this, he paused and smiled bitterly: "I later learned that my father's death was just an inducement. My mother has always suffered from depression and has been eating. Antidepressant drugs.”
When Chen Xi listened to the story he told, it was obviously the same bloody plot as Gu Zao Xiaoyan, but her heart sank when she heard it.
This is not a story, but his mother's real experience. The more real it is, the heavier it is.
"After my mother got sick, my uncle and the others got together and kicked us out. Of course, they said they were not kicking us out, but they were afraid that my mother would hurt others if she got sick." Yu Qiubai didn't know why he told her. These, there were many things, had been pressing in his heart for too long, making him breathless and so heavy that he almost collapsed.
Maybe he was sure that even if he told her, she would never tell anyone else.
Maybe he already regarded her as someone he could trust.
Shen Xi still just listened quietly and did his job as a listener.
"After the onset of the disease, I took her to see her everywhere and was hospitalized. However, instead of getting better, her condition became more and more serious. During the Chinese New Year, it was good and bad. She didn't even recognize me recently. "Yes." Yu Qiubai's voice was very calm, and his eyes were filled with mist.
He fears.
He was scared.
When his mother and daughter were kicked out by the Yu family and asked to live alone, he was not afraid.
He took care of her by himself and was not afraid when he took her to see the doctor.
He was not afraid of anything, not afraid of her getting sick, not afraid of her hurting others, not afraid of taking care of her, but he was afraid that she would never recognize him again.
Shen Xi: "Can you tell me in detail about her current mental state?"
Yu Qiubai finally showed signs of collapse. He shook his head and said desperately: "I'm not a doctor. I can't judge. It's very, very bad. It has never been worse."
"Okay." Shen Xi only responded with one word, lowered his eyebrows, and continued to play the game, but he was already absent-minded.
Yu Qiubai glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and his mood calmed down strangely, and his breathing stabilized.
He doesn't need anyone to comfort him or sympathize with him, he just needs someone to listen to him quietly.
Shen Xi had already made the worst plan in his mind, but he never expected that the situation would be so bad, far worse than Yu Qiubai said.
It was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Stepping in, it was like entering hell, not even a trace of light could be seen.
There was a strange smell that hit my face. It was a damp and dark room that had not been open for ventilation for a long time, mixed with a rotten smell.
"Mom, I'm coming in." Yu Qiubai said at the door, his voice was very gentle: "Don't be afraid, I turned on the light."
In the room, no one spoke.
Shen Xi's eyes quickly adapted to the dark environment and saw the woman in the darkness.
The woman was tied to the bed, her hands, feet, and body tied tightly, and her mouth was gagged. She could only make a low moan, like a trapped animal struggling.
At this time, Yu Qiubai reminded Shen Xi and turned on the light.
When the light was turned on, it was also dim and yellowish, but it was enough for people to see clearly everything in the room. It was empty, with nothing but a bed.
Only then did Shen Xi clearly see the woman on the bed. She was very thin, as if she had only a handful of bones left. Her cheekbones were high, her cheeks were sunken, her hair was sparse, and her eyes were very big, with a look that was crazy and full of... fear.
If she hadn't known that this was a living person, she might have thought that the person in front of her was a zombie.
"Mom." Yu Qiubai walked over, stood next to the woman, and pointed at Shen Xi: "This is a doctor. Don't be afraid. She is here to treat you."
After Yu's mother heard what he said, she didn't struggle so much. She just looked at him with a crazy and unfamiliar look.
Yu Qiubai sat beside her bed, gently put her messy hair behind her back, turned her head, and looked at Shen Xi hopefully.
Shen Xi looked at the woman roughly, with a calm look in his eyes: "Get out of the way, let me take a look."
Yu Qiubai stood up and gave up his seat to her.
Shen Xi sat by the bed, patted the woman's bony hand without any disdain, and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor and I won't hurt you."
Mother Yu rolled her eyes, as if she had just seen Shen Xi. The fear in her eyes disappeared crazily, and was replaced by deep self-blame and guilt. She was struggling with tears streaming down her face.
Shen Xi was a little surprised when he saw her reaction. Seeing her sobbing and making a raw sound in her throat, as if she wanted to speak, she turned to Yu Qiubai and asked, "Can I take it off?"
Yu Qiubai saw Yu's mother's reaction. After being startled for a moment, he felt a little embarrassed and a little scared. His voice was helpless and distressed: "She can bite her tongue."
Shen Xi hummed and looked at the woman tenderly: "I'll help you get it, don't hurt yourself, okay?"
Mother Yu's movements actually stopped, and she just stared at her with those eyes that were too deep in the sockets and too big to be scary, with an extremely focused expression.
Shen Xi untied her, but she didn't move at all during the process, just looking at her.
Yu Qiubai, who was standing aside and watching, looked at Shen Xi as if he was a little stupid. The expression in his eyes changed for a while, and after a moment, he felt relieved again.
Is she a doctor, or someone who can save Ning Sinian, who has been in a vegetative state for two years, and who has been pronounced dead by the doctor? Is it any wonder that she can calm her mother down
Shen Xi looked at her without making any unnecessary movements.
Mother Yu also looked at her and made no move.
Time passed very quickly, and then passed very slowly, flowing slowly in the darkness and silence, but Yu Qiubai's heart was hanging, wondering what the situation in front of him was going on.
Mother Yu finally spoke, her lips trembling, and she said three very clear words: "I'm sorry."
Her voice was very hoarse, as if it had been squeezed out of her chest, and her skinny hands stretched out towards Shen Xi's face tremblingly.
At this moment, Shen Xi was also startled, but when the woman's hand was about to touch her face, she suddenly turned around and curled up into a ball like a shrimp, whimpering and repeating "I'm sorry". word.
