Chapter 62
When the doctor prepared the medicine and used the upper bunk bed rail as a rack to fix the medicine bottle for infusion, the two children Yunmian and Yu Anan, and the two ghosts Yun Jinli and Little Ghost Doll, all tilted their heads back and stared at him curiously.
"Little boy, stretch out your hand." The doctor stretched out his hand towards Yunmian.
Yun Mian had received countless bottles of medicine in her previous life. Seeing the doctor's actions, she reached out her hand very familiarly. After he steadily pierced the skin and flesh with the sharp needle tip and inserted it into the blood vessel, the familiar cold medicine slowly flowed into the blood vessel.
The imp climbed onto her legs and curiously stretched out his paw to touch the thin tube that was fixed with tape.
The finger was pierced again, and it glared at the medicine tube unhappily. Then it was carefully pulled open by Yu Anan. She was afraid that if the little ghost touched it a few more times, Yunmian's infusion would be even more serious.
Yun Jinli was still pulling the quilt in vain, trying to cover Yunmian in the bed. She tried again and again, and failed again and again. Even after the dean and the old Taoist priest finished their conversation, she still couldn't pick up the quilt to cover Yunmian.
"This is antipyretic medicine. Your fever should go away after you take a nap. You still need to be more careful and don't catch a cold again. Children suffer more than adults when they are sick..." The doctor packed the prepared medicine into small packets and handed them to the dean, then went out to do basic physical examinations for other children every month.
This is a cooperative project between the welfare home and the hospital. It can be regarded as some care that the hospital provides to the orphans in the welfare home so that they can receive more appropriate care.
After the doctor went out, Yu Anan carefully remembered what the doctor said, and stared up at the medicine bottle above her head, fearing that the medicine would be used up if she was not careful.
The dean walked over with a complicated expression. Although she couldn't see whether there was a ghost here or not, as she walked from the door to Yunmian's bed, she could clearly feel the air getting damp and cold. The sticky cold made her breathing slow and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
The old Taoist priest stuck a low-level amulet on her vest. The dean breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to rub the two little girls' restless heads.
"An'an, Mian'mian, this grandfather wants to adopt you. Do you want to go back with him?" She sat on the edge of the bed, and after asking, in front of the two confused children, she carefully introduced the old Taoist priest's situation, including what he had just said about fate and premature death.
The dean thought about it for a while and decided that Yunmian and Yu Anan's special circumstances made her lean towards the old Taoist's words. So after explaining the details, the old man touched Yunmian's hair kindly and said softly, "Go back with this grandfather. I don't know if you can learn any skills, but as long as you live well, I will be relieved."
"Aren't they new parents?" Yu Anan looked at the old Taoist priest in confusion. No matter how she looked at them, they seemed different from the new parents who had adopted children before.
"Of course not." The dean explained with a smile: "If you follow this grandfather back, you will have to call him Master. He will also teach you skills and raise you like your parents."
The difference from before made Yu Anan a little wary. She shrank back, stuck close to Yun Mian, and then asked in a low voice: "Will there be delicious candies and new clothes?"
Will there be a soft bed and delicious meals every day?
Will it be sent back again?
Will you be called a little monster?
She distrusts all adults except Mother Dean.
The old Taoist priest placed the whisk in his hand on his arm, smiled and patted the little girl's forehead. His old voice had a calm and elegant charm: "Don't be afraid. Once you calm down, everything will naturally have an answer."
Yu Anan: “…”
Can't understand……
But the old man looked so kind, he didn't seem like a bad person.
Little Yu Anan, who had not yet learned the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover", was fooled by this sentence.
The old Taoist priest looked at Yunmian who was sitting obediently receiving the infusion.
This doll is so shiny and bright, like a big piece of gold.
"Mianmian, do you want to go to the Taoist temple with this grandpa?" the dean asked her at this time.
Yunmian had not forgotten the scene of the old Taoist priest throwing talisman paper at her mother, so after a brief silence, she asked him back: "Grandpa, if I go with you, can I take my mother and the little ghost doll with me?"
The old Taoist hesitated for a moment: "...Child, do you know what it costs to raise a ghost?"
Yunmian shook his head honestly.
Old Taoist priest: “…”
The little guy is quite honest.
Logically speaking, the old Taoist priest was invited by the dean to catch ghosts, but now the situation has changed. The two ghosts seem to have a close relationship with Yunmian, the little golden doll. If he really seals them, the relationship will probably turn into hatred immediately, not to mention taking the two children back to the Taoist temple.
So after a brief hesitation, the old Taoist priest gave in, nodded and said, "You can take them back, but I will restrict their movements. After all, there are other people coming and going in the Taoist temple..."
He explained the interests involved in detail, but Yunmian only caught the first sentence. After thinking for a moment, she nodded happily: "Okay~ Thank you, Grandpa!"
As long as she is with her mother, Mianmian is not afraid of going anywhere!
The old Taoist priest and the dean had to go through the formalities and also go to the police station to file a record. The whole process was quite complicated, so Yunmian and Yu Anan stayed in the welfare home first. One of them obediently received an IV, took medicine, and went to sleep, while the other stared at the medicine bottle above her head, ready to jump up and call for "doctor uncle" at any time.
The little ghost doll disappeared again at some point. After drinking a small bowl of porridge, Yun Mian fell into a deep sleep in the quilt.
Yu Anan looked at her good friend, then at her good friend's mother at the end of the bed, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Mianmian’s mother is a real mother, not a mother chosen by the children in the welfare home.
After Mianmian's mother died and turned into a ghost, she came to find Mianmian. That's great~
Where are my parents? Why did they abandon me? Was it because I was naughty, or did they want to choose another child?
Yu Anan looked up at the medicine bottle which was still half full, then pinched her fingers and carefully moved a little bit towards the end of the bed, then whispered to Yun Jinli who was staring at Yun Mian in a daze.
"Ah, Auntie~" She called out softly, but there was no response from the other party.
"Auntie Yun~" She called again, but still no response.
"Aunt Mianmian~" She persisted and moved a little closer again.
This time the other party finally reacted. His dark eyes looked over at him, scaring the already timid Yu Anan so much that even the scalp on the back of his head was screaming danger!
But she swallowed her saliva and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Auntie, if you become more powerful in the future, can you please not eat me and Mianmian?"
She bit her nails with a bit of worry, and sighed like a child: "Yesterday those ghosts said you would eat Mianmian, I don't know if they lied to the children, but Mianmian is my good friend... I like Mianmian very much, she is very powerful, Auntie, can you please not eat her in the future?"
"I can give you all the snacks and candies I have hidden..."
Yu Anan muttered to herself, trying to make a deal with an irrational ghost.
The system sighed sadly, not because it was worried about this mission, but because it was worried about the future of the few Daidai.
The host has a dull mind, Yu Anan is timid than a grain of rice, the little ghost doll is only two years old, and the only word he can say is "bad".
The most crucial thing is that the host mother, who was originally placed with high hopes by it... actually lost her soul in this world and became the dumbest among the evil ghosts.
In other words, two cubs and two ghosts, a whole family, but their four brains combined are not enough to make up one smart head...
How can we not be worrying about the future?
When Yunmian woke up, the needle in her hand had been removed, leaving only a bruised needle hole on the back of her hand, which looked particularly conspicuous.
"Mianmian, we're leaving~" Yu Anan whispered in her ear: "The old man is here to take us to some temple. We don't have to stay in the welfare home anymore!"
Her eyes were filled with joy, and she spoke softly, words that would make every child in the welfare home envious. After she finished speaking, she opened her little arms and gently hugged Yunmian, pressing her face against Yunmian's, squinting her eyes with joy.
It’s really great to be adopted. Being adopted together with my good friend Mianmian is even better!
Those scary ghosts she had seen before, and those densely packed, dark, and tall ghost shadows last night, at the moment she was sure she was adopted, all seemed like a nightmare from her past illness, slowly turning into an indiscernible butterfly that flapped its wings and flew away little by little.
Flying so high and far, those remaining gullies will soon be filled with new expectations and joy.
Yun Mian curved her eyes and slowly smiled, then reached out to hug Yu Anan, gently rubbing her soft face, and softly repeated the words that were worth being happy about.
"We're leaving~"
With Yu Anan, with the little ghost doll, and with my beloved mother.
After the two children had their fun, they helped each other pack up the things they wanted to take away.
Clothes, shoes, books, rubber bands, hidden candies and snacks...
When the cleanup was almost done, the little ghost doll that had disappeared earlier rushed in, roaring angrily.
It rushed to Yunmian like a small cannonball. Although there was no blood in its ghost pupils, they were scarlet. Its little hands grabbed the corner of Yunmian's clothes and pointed in the direction of the right with an angry and sinister look.
It is complaining to Yunmian.
Yun Mian reached out and hugged it in her arms. She touched its head, tilted her head and listened patiently to the little ghost doll's childish voice.
When it buried its head in her arms and sobbed angrily, Yun Mian blinked and thought of the nurse Aunt Li Shuang that day.
She seemed like she hadn't seen the other person for several days.
"An'an~" Yun Mian stopped Yu An'an who was busy packing clothes and asked her slowly, "Where is Aunt Li Shuang?"
Yu Anan stopped and thought for a moment before shaking her head blankly: "I don't know, she doesn't seem to have come in the past two days."
"Bad!!" The little ghost doll cried and roared, and tears of blood fell onto Yunmian's body.
Yunmian rubbed the little braid behind its head, then held it in one hand and walked out holding her mother's hand with the other.
The eaves blocked some of the sunlight very well, and Yunmian walked slowly towards the nursing dormitory along the shadow of the corridor.
I opened the door, but there was no familiar figure inside.
The little ghost doll grabbed her fingers and shed tears of grievance. The whimpering ghost cry made the air around it become much colder.
"Don't cry, take your time to look for it." Yun Mian rubbed its chubby little hands and stood under the eaves, patiently waiting for the dean to come.
