Gray Patient Prison (End)
Zhou Yanan stopped them from going forward to help her and jumped in through the window with ease: "How are you? Do you still have an appetite now?"
After shaking his head, Yin Sui realized what he was actually asking and nodded again.
"Don't be hard on yourselves. Don't worry, the treat promise is valid for a long time. You two can come and play with me anytime you want."
A patch of highland red rose on her cheeks, and the heat was emitting from it. She was obviously very hot, as if she was being roasted on a fire. While being roasted, she laughed with the cannibals dancing around her - I started the fire, I started the fire, how could it burn me?
The carnival under pressure is similar to the pleasure of sexual asphyxiation.
By observing Yin Sui, he realized that what she was asking for was not a stool to put her feet on, and he could only help by lending a hand: "Today, just today?" He naturally put his arm around the somewhat stiff arm, and it felt like the touch of cold meat just taken out of the refrigerator.
When his comrades invited him to join the army, Zhou Yanan felt completely free from the thick smoke. After getting what he wanted, he regained his composure and replied with a duplicitous response: "I'm fine with anything."
"So why haven't you left yet..."
Although he was eager to leave, Yinsui's attention was almost never diverted from what was happening below the window.
There were also countless patients living in the vast high-rise buildings. After a few minutes, the rain did not stop. Darkly speaking, it should have covered the second floor, but after reaching a certain height, the piled up bodies began to decrease on their own.
The ground seemed to have an invisible bottomless pit that swallowed up the shattered rain and broken earthworms, and water usually leaked out of them.
She looked carefully but could not figure out what was going on. The meat-cutting blade and the drainage pipe were nowhere to be found. Everything was proceeding automatically and in an orderly manner.
"It'll take a while to finish flowing out," Zhou Yanan leaned out to check and then changed the subject: "It'll be soon. Once it's had enough, it'll kick us out."
"it?"
"It's the Medicine God. Although sometimes it's not here and sometimes we're the ones who start it, all the wronged souls that fall into it become its food. You see, it's like a big funnel, straight to its throat. No matter how we feed it or how we process it, the leftovers will only end up in its stomach. When it's almost full, it will throw out those of us who are causing trouble - just like this."
Mottled water stains climbed up the walls, the gray and white tiles underfoot quickly dimmed, and the whirlpool of reality swallowed up the mistakes in an instant, revealing a gentle and harmless appearance to them.
A nimble black shadow rushed through the dusty corridor. Yinsui was startled, and then he saw it raise its furry little round face, its emerald eyes sparkling, and it meowed softly.
Only then did she realize that she had come out.
Outside, light is light and darkness is darkness, moving forward is not backward, and a passing black shadow will transform into a cute little kitten.
The clothes also became clean, and it seemed that only the blood from her body could be brought out. Wait, the blood disappeared, so where was the video stored in her hand?
"Is there any restaurant you want to go to?" Zhou Yanan asked.
She opened the album and flipped through the videos while answering, "I can choose any of them. The one you choose will definitely taste good."
"Is there any now?"
"I trust Sister Zhou's taste." He gave a thumbs-up enthusiastically.
Ji Xunjin was not trying to pry into her privacy, but because of his height and the distance behind her, he accidentally looked in the direction of the sound and happened to catch sight of the bright mobile phone screen, so he knew what she was looking for.
Ji Xunjin: Video materials related to the dead cannot be taken out of space
Yinsui, who was searching in vain and about to turn off his phone, received the message and was distracted for a moment. The sound of rain mixed with the vague murmur in his heart suddenly returned to his mind and was suppressed in time.
Sister Zhou chose a home-style barbecue stall as the venue. At night, young people like to go to lively places with a strong sense of fireworks.
Ji Xunjin and she both drove a car. Yin Sui wanted to ask the former a question but took the latter's emotional needs into consideration and opened the door of the purple-pink car.
Zhou Yanan kept chatting about family matters along the way.
"My dad couldn't stay idle lately, so he got a Bichon Frise to keep his sister Teddy company. If I'd known he was so active, I should have gotten him a Beagle. He wouldn't have to go out and play chess with these old men. He's a terrible chess player, not only can't win, but his manners are also terrible, and he gets into fights. A bunch of old men who can't even sit still and have to use crutches act like they're from the martial arts world, and even in wheelchairs they have to fight a few times."
"Uncle is really energetic and strong despite his old age. He has never really done anything to keep fit."
Zhou Yanan scoffed, her eyes curved. "That's right, I saved money on the gym. Actually, I'm not as good as him. I bought an annual pass in the first half of the year, but it's almost expired after just a few visits. I just lie around all day, too lazy to move. I don't want to do anything but play with my phone..."
She couldn't stop to feel what she was feeling, or she would become aware of the pain.
Yinsui is very familiar with this kind of happy bubble that bursts at the slightest poke. He can even make Jiang Kesong his only friend in the outside world thanks to his false state of emptiness. Sometimes people need external noise to cover up the discomfort like needles pricking them inside.
Until one day when she woke up with a start, the face in front of her was no longer a blank plane, and the voice in her ears was no longer meaningless. She suddenly wanted to hug her, and she knew that they had become friends who could confide in each other.
In fact, she would inexplicably want to hug other people, but she would not actually make the hugging movement.
——Because Zhou Yanan herself had no intention of waking up.
They are fellow patients who sympathize with each other, but only at this moment when they are free from the advantages and disadvantages.
"Wait outside for me to park the car. It might take some time since I rarely drive and am not very familiar with reverse parking."
"Okay, Sister Zhou, I'll wait for you."
Ji Xunjin was the first to leave the parking lot. The car keys, which he had not put away in time, collided with the metal buckle, and the sound became louder and louder.
Until the slender figure walked into the illuminated range and became clearer than the sound.
"You treat them much better than I do." There was no intention of accusing him. His brows relaxed as he spoke, and it was just a joke.
"Because I can't give you what you want."
Liu Qingliu doesn't ask for anything and doesn't care, so he's easy to please; Zhou Yanan has a clear need, and she'll be satisfied with just her attention and approval; what he wants is deeper, and more importantly, it's someone else's.
She couldn't use other people's lives to repay her debt of gratitude, and Ji Xunjin disdained the packaging of warmth and the material for dreaming, so she owed it for now.
Maybe in the next life. Legend has it that if you owe money in this life, you will be tortured by your creditors in the next life. As a debtor, I have already prepared myself mentally for the debt to continue into the next life.
The creditor certainly doesn’t have it, but the creditor can do nothing about it.
Zhou Yanan, who rushed over, interrupted the debt settlement process of the two people. Considering himself an elder senior, he walked in front and led them to find a seat to sit down.
It was noisy all around, so Zhou Yanan didn't need to speak to cover up the silence.
In the bustling city, the three of them were tacitly quiet, and they occasionally discussed the dishes and their taste in low voices when the dishes were served.
To make it look cozy, small warm light bulbs are hung on the shed outside the restaurant, casting a soft golden glow equally on the diners below.
Ji Xunjin sat across from the two women. Yinsui's eyes, lustrous and full, carried the light reflected from all directions, casting them onto the faces of the people beside him as he agreed.
"Get a dog," Zhou Yanan sighed as he gulped down his ice-cold beer. "I'm always busy and have fun running around. Do you want to get a dog?"
"It's a local dog, but I think it's very cute."
In its youth, it was a deep yellow, the color of the sun melting gold, majestic and imposing, but now it is old, slow and empty. The end of its life is slowly creeping towards it, and it is too old to hide.
"Every dog is beautiful in the eyes of its owner. Their dog is bound to be adorable no matter how it looks to them. Even when French Fries peed on my dad's slippers, he would praise French Fries for drinking plenty of water without getting irritated. I want to get a big dog but I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. Sometimes I'm too lazy to even take care of myself."
"I'll have a chance to raise it when things stabilize."
"I don't like stability." The unchanging days reminded her of corpses.
Yin Sui put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal: "Take your time. Just move towards the life you want. There's no point in rushing, so don't rush it."
"That's right. Are you full after just a little? You won't get fat if you eat more when you're growing. Health is the most important thing."
"I do want to eat it, but it's so delicious that I can't finish it. What a pity."
"If you like, you can take it home. I've finished eating too. How about you, Xunjin? You're full too. Then you should go back to bed early, otherwise the parents at home will worry." Zhou Yanan stood up and greeted the waiter. She placed another order for a few dishes that Yinsui seemed to like at the ordering counter.
It was hard to refuse the kindness, so after a few polite words, Yin Sui was stuffed with a pile of food, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"Shall I take you home? It's not safe at night."
"Excuse me, Sister Zhou."
The car drove directly into the community and arrived at the downstairs of the apartment building. Zhou Yanan watched her walk into the dark building, first her face and then her back. She turned around and stretched out a hand in the darkness, waving goodbye.
The kitchen door, which was emitting a faint firelight, opened and Yinsui walked in.
"I'm back."
The old woman smiled as she wiped the water stains from washing vegetables on her apron, welcoming her little granddaughter home from school.
"Hmm," realizing the cold response, Yin Sui forced himself to put on a cheerful look: "What did you make today? It smells so good."
"Braised duck, sausage, and stir-fried bok choy."
"Grandma, the food is ready, tell me to serve it. I'll put the bag away first."
"Go ahead, it'll be a while."
My body sank into the soft sofa, and the fishy smell lingered around me again, squeezing out the fresh air I was breathing.
She casually opened the drawer and grabbed it out with her bare hands. Like a clay toy that had lost its ability to rebound, the rotten crucian carp lay on its back in her palm, and like her, it was extremely confused about why it was here.
Why is the fish in the drawer? Why is the fish in the drawer?
She was extremely upset and had no place to vent her anger, so she walked to the sewage outlet under the yard and threw the fish back into the sewage like throwing garbage. The remaining scales on the fish's body looked like they had just emerged from the flesh of her palm.
I really want to embed them and then return myself to the sea.
It was just a thought, but when she heard the old man draw out the last syllable of "It's time to eat", she still rushed back to the kitchen and brought the food to the table.
"Is school going well?"
"all the best."
Qiong Qing lowered her head and ate with peace of mind.
"Grandma, don't call me to school tomorrow. I have a day off tomorrow."
"It's good to have a holiday. Rest at home." Jianlin didn't care about his granddaughter's grades at all. He smiled happily when he heard it, and almost clapped his hands.
After dinner, Yin Sui said as usual, "I'm going to bed."
"It's a bit cold today, remember to add a blanket. It's under the wardrobe."
"Okay," he added before she could get up, "I know it's in the middle of the second compartment of the closet. I saw it when I was packing up earlier. I'll just take it."
Let me be quiet for a while.
Sitting alone on the bed in the middle of the large room, the layout of the room was very strange. The only large bed was placed in the middle with only the headboard against the wall. I guess it was to stay away from the windows on the left and right that were covered with curtains all year round.
The chandelier hung above the bed, and the dark lamp stand that bent and stretched under his legs hit his chest just right, and the dim blood moon fell into his waist and abdomen.
I should have pushed him down.
The suppressed words awakened from the dream before falling asleep, ready to come out.
Yinsui sat up and heard the sound of bamboo branches colliding from the window on the right, which was adjacent to the bamboo forest. Something was passing through the dense bamboo and shaking them in order to reach it.
who?
"Please open the window. I'm Ji Xunjin."
“…” I don’t believe it.
"If you don't open it, I'll die. I'll lose my balance and fall to my death with a bang, and my brain will splatter everywhere."
In that case, I have to believe it.
She silently thought that she owed him this, put on her shoes and opened the curtains.
The boy lay on the edge of the bed: "Can I cut your railings? I can't get in otherwise."
"It's up to you." Anyway, it can be restored to its original state.
