Chapter 361: Finally Seeing Lushan’s True Face
Ye Xiaomei looked at Jia Nannan who was running towards her, gasping for breath. Although the girl was delicate, at least she had a plump body and rosy skin, but she was dry and pale. If she was scared to death there, would she, Ye Xiaomei, save her or take care of Professor Qin's daughter?
As always, he waited for her to catch her breath, and then continued, "I... I had no choice. No one was going, and our class heard about it... Xiaomei, when I heard that no one in your class was going and you were the only one going, I... I gritted my teeth and went with you."
Ye Xiaomei's impression of her changed immediately. After all, she was a little braver than when she was bullied. "Then follow me."
Jia Nannan nodded vigorously.
Their route required them to cross two traffic lights and then three alleys.
Jia Nannan muttered: "When they go in groups, they all have cars."
Ye Xiaomei thought that after all this commotion, not many people would go. Who would be willing to spend money to hire a car? She opened the note in her hand:
"Yes, the workers' village is not far away. We will reach the workers' village after we cross the bridge."
The houses here are all issued with approval from the work units, so it is called a workers' village. Only the country's backbone workers with formal jobs can enjoy this treatment.
The houses in the workers' village all look the same, with almost the same porches, especially the three-story bungalows, whose roofs are built exactly the same.
After asking a few people on the way, I finally found the penultimate room on the second floor of a three-story bungalow.
Ye Xiaomei took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, Jia Nannan shrank behind Ye Xiaomei and said timidly, "I really admire you. You are not afraid at all despite what others say is so scary."
Who isn't afraid? The key is that fear is useless.
After being knocked twice, the door creaked open by itself; it turned out to be unlocked.
Jia Nannan's hands, which were holding onto her clothes, began to tremble. Ye Xiaomei felt a little annoyed:
"If you're scared, wait for me outside."
Jia Nannan quickly ran outside and waited. Ye Xiaomei's clothes were finally loosened, otherwise she would have been strangled to death.
The living room is at the entrance of the room, with two bedrooms on the right and the kitchen and bathroom on the left.
The floor was paved with polished Yuhua stone tiles, and the floor was a bit messy. There was a large human-shaped doll on the sofa in the living room.
It seemed that he was about to fall, so Ye Xiaomei tried to help him up to see if he was in the bedroom.
Who knew that when he supported it, he felt something was wrong, and when he looked closely, the puppet moved.
Ye Xiaomei's scalp suddenly felt numb and she wanted to run away, but her eyes stared at the man involuntarily.
Her sparse white hair grew on her bald scalp, just like the wheat fields in her hometown during the drought season.
That face was not what a sixteen-year-old girl should have, it was full of wrinkles, and her upper body was leaning on the sofa, while her lower body was tilted on the ground at an incredible angle.
The whole person was bent and twisted like a snake, and the deformation of the legs was more serious than the polio she had seen.
And when she saw me coming, she slowly turned her head, her dry, toothless mouth opening and closing.
Ye Xiaomei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the sound she wanted to make was stuck in her throat.
As luck would have it, Jia Nannan, who was outside the door and didn't dare to come in, asked in a low voice: "Did you see it? Tell me how scary it is first, so I can be mentally prepared before going in."
Ye Xiaomei suddenly regained consciousness and said with a trembling voice, "Don't come in."
Ye Xiaomei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and approached cautiously.
"Don't be afraid, I...I brought you some dumplings..." Ye Xiaomei said this in a crying voice. She had never seen such a disease before.
She put the dumplings on the table from a distance, pulled my arm to untie the plastic bag: "I don't mean any harm, I just want to check your pulse." Gulp, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Unexpectedly, she didn't care at all, and directly moved her deformed skeletal waist to sit up straight. Her sitting up straight was actually a deformed posture, and she could only lean half of her body on the sofa, grabbing it with her hands and stuffing it into her mouth:
"Thank you, sister."
Ye Xiaomei was startled when she heard the childish voice, because it was so inconsistent with her overall appearance.
"No, you...eat more if you like it." Ye Xiaomei's voice was distorted. She remembered why she came here and subconsciously reached out her hand slowly.
He squatted down slowly, and when his fingers touched her wrist, Ye Xiaomei suddenly pulled back.
No pulse?
Boom, boom, boom! My heart beat violently several times.
Look at her old lady's face with sparse white hair, eating happily with a satisfied smile on her lips, and the juice in the dumpling flowing along the puppet lines at the corners of her mouth. Everything seems normal.
Gulp, Ye Xiaomei swallowed her saliva and asked carefully:
"You...your mother is in the hospital. How do you live?"
When she grinned, you could see her teeth marks without any teeth chewing food. The sound was no different from that of a teenager, making a snapping chewing sound:
"I don't know. Someone gave me something to eat, and I wasn't hungry after eating it."
——Xiao Mei, what happened?
Jia Nannan outside asked in a low voice, if someone didn't know, they would think Xiaomei was dead in there.
Ye Xiaomei pulled away and replied, "It's okay, wait for me outside."
Jia Nannan lowered her voice and said - I'll go downstairs and wait for you. I want to buy two bottles of water. What kind of water do you want to drink?
Ye Xiaomei said "whatever" and tiptoed downstairs.
Ye Xiaomei pressed on, "These are dumplings my sister made. Do you think they're delicious?" Ye Xiaomei had to force herself to say the word "sister."
She chuckled, as happily as an old lady in her seventies or eighties teasing her grandson:
"I like to eat, hehe, but my mom said I can't eat too much. If I eat too much, I will get fat, and if I get fat, I won't be able to move."
She deliberately twisted her deformed body.
How to describe her body? A normal human spine connects the coccyx and lower limbs, but her spine was severely deformed in the left and right directions, with the shoulder on the left and the stomach on the right, with a large range of changes.
The cervical vertebrae below the head are bent in the opposite direction and are severely deformed, so that the head is almost attached to the shoulders.
The legs have no support at all and are as soft as if they have no bones.
Ye Xiaomei looked her up and down. She did have the bone disease, but her IQ was not like that of a sixteen-year-old. It should be around three or four years old.
"If it's delicious, I'll bring it to you next time. Can you let me touch your back? I'm a doctor."
Ye Xiaomei knew that even if she showed her ID, she might not know.
She nodded quickly, and Ye Xiaomei reached her hand into her back after agreeing. The "abacus" feeling on her entire back was like a snake, moving with her difficult breathing.
Since she is breathing, she must have a pulse. Judging from the degree of deformation, her internal organs are probably shifted, and her blood and energy are probably severely squeezed, so the pulse on her wrist is particularly weak.
Before I could figure it out, Jia Nannan's voice came from behind me.
"I bought you some Jianlibao. I think it tastes pretty good...ah!"
Ye Xiaomei turned her head suddenly and a bottle of water fell to the ground. Jia Nannan was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, supporting herself with both hands and stepping back vigorously.
Ye Xiaomei was just about to get up to comfort her.
"Oh, Mom..."
At the same time, Professor Qin's daughter on the sofa was frightened. Her mouth was swollen from eating the dumplings. After shouting, she started coughing quickly, and then her whole twisted body kept shaking.
Ye Xiaomei recognized at a glance that this was the owner of the card, and quickly performed first aid. She did not dare to use any force for fear of crushing her head.
It was not until half of the dumpling was spit out and the coughing sound became incessant that he finally recovered his breath.
Ye Xiaomei turned around and looked outside, but Jia Nannan was gone.
Ye Xiaomei didn't think much about it and turned around to look for her.
As she coughed up the stucky stuff, tears started to flow down her face, filling up the wrinkles on her face:
"I don't want to live anymore, please take me away."
Ye Xiaomei was stunned, and poured tea to her mouth with one hand, but she didn't drink it.
"What will happen to your mother if you leave? She's still in the hospital."
"She's not my mother."
