Gu Huaiwei took Bai Yuzhen's hand away and walked towards the dark little room next door under her surprised gaze.
The smell of medicine in the room could hardly cover up the stench of decay. There was no light on, only a small stove burning with an orange-yellow flame.
The library director was sitting in a wheelchair. He was as thin as a skeleton, wearing thick cotton pajamas and a blanket, with a stack of old newspapers on his knees.
Han Zhusheng had already poured the brown Chinese medicine into a ceramic bowl. He took a ceramic spoon, sat next to the library director's wheelchair, scooped a mouthful, handed it to the library director's mouth, and fed him the medicine.
The librarian kept his lips tightly closed.
Han Zhusheng used a spoon to poke his mouth. Even though it was bloody, the librarian refused to open his mouth. His yellowed teeth were tightly clenched like a locked bronze door.
Gu Huaiwei saw that black blood was flowing from the corner of the library director's lips.
"My father won't drink the medicine I feed him. Can you help me?" Han Zhusheng's expression was gloomy, and the bowl of medicine in his hand looked more like poison.
"Let me try." Gu Huaiwei walked over and took the bowl of medicine. Her nose was very sensitive. Although there was a strange smell in the room, she could still smell the pungent smell in the bowl of medicine.
The director of the library looked at Gu Huaiwei with resentment.
Gu Huaiwei scooped a spoonful of medicine, blew on it gently, and then handed it to the librarian's lips, saying kindly, "Uncle, drink the medicine well so that you can recover quickly."
The library director still didn't say anything.
"Uncle, if you don't take the medicine, your family will be worried."
The librarian opened his dark mouth, and before Gu Huaiwei could put the medicine in, he suddenly sprayed black juice at Gu Huaiwei.
It was like a powerful fountain, rushing towards Gu Huaiwei's face.
Gu Huaiwei dodged sideways.
The black juice fell onto the wooden floor and corroded it.
A few drops splashed onto her clothes, corroding several holes in them.
If this juice splashes on an ordinary person, he will lose half his life if not die.
Han Zhusheng just stood by and watched coldly.
After the librarian finished vomiting, he slowly said, "Dad, how could you treat guests like this?"
Although the library director looks old, his eyes are exactly the same as Han Zhusheng's.
"Crack, crack, crack..." His mouth moved and black juice kept coming out, soon staining the blanket on his body.
Gu Huaiwei checked the small holes in her clothes. Some places had burned her skin, but there were no scars on her body.
"It's okay." Some of the black juice splashed into the medicine bowl. Gu Huaiwei pretended not to see it and stirred it with a spoon, then brought it to the librarian's lips.
If he didn't want to drink, I would pry his mouth open and stuff it in.
Gu Huaiwei's eyebrows curved, she leaned forward, and spoke softly with her red lips: "Is it hot? Drink it slowly, don't be too anxious, look, it's about to drip out."
"We are all adults now, so we should take the initiative to take medicine."
"Open your mouth, yes, don't make me open you."
"Uncle, you look like you're feeling very uncomfortable. You should just try to get over it. I'll give you a candy after you finish the medicine."
The more medicine the librarian drinks, the more unstable his condition becomes.
He seemed to be in great pain.
It was not until the alarm in the office rang that Bai Yuzhen walked in with the hot medicine.
She saw that Gu Huaiwei's body was covered with that corrosive black juice, but she was fine. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingertips holding the medicine bowl clenched silently.
What's going on?
The library director's office also has rules.
The time for feeding medicine and the method of boiling medicine are restricted by fixed rules. Entering this small room outside the specified time will result in death.
But Gu Huaiwei looks like an ordinary college graduate, with nothing special about her. She might be able to get here with her wisdom, but how did she manage to survive outside the rules?
Bai Yuzhen was puzzled.
But she didn't have time to think about it now, as she still had to help the librarian sort out his dirty clothes and feed him medicine.
Gu Huaiwei saw Bai Yuzhen first fill a plastic basin with some warm water, then soak a tattered towel in it and help the library director wipe the black juice that vomited out.
The towel had too many holes in it, and when Bai Yuzhen was wiping, her fingers inevitably touched the black dirt. Even in a diluted state, the black juice corroded the skin of Bai Yuzhen's hands.
She endured the pain without saying a word.
"This is for you." Gu Huaiwei took out a clean towel from the jade bracelet and threw it to Bai Yuzhen.
Just now, Bai Yuzhen's attention was all on the librarian. When she came to her senses, she had a soft, new towel in her hand.
She looked at Gu Huaiwei with gratitude.
Then, holding a new towel, he quickly cleaned the librarian's mouth and neck.
After completing this step, Bai Yuzhen took a deep breath, as if she was preparing herself mentally. She suppressed her nausea and lifted the blanket covering the librarian.
Gu Huaiwei felt her scalp tingling after just one glance.
The library director's body is covered with holes.
My belly is like a shower head.
He was very thin, but his belly was round and big.
It looks like he has been infected with vaping lung disease.
The library director was very cooperative when Bai Yuzhen was feeding the medicine.
He drank the medicine sip by sip.
My belly seems to be a little smaller.
Even the belly button, which was as big as a funnel, was still oozing black water.
When Bai Yuzhen was helping the library director clean up, Han Zhusheng kept staring at her, his eyes unblinking. He stood there upright like a dusty statue, trying to find fault with Bai Yuzhen.
Bai Yuzhen was extremely calm. She completed the task at hand skillfully and completely ignored Han Zhusheng's presence.
She would even tell jokes to the completely inhuman librarian while feeding him medicine, which quickly calmed him down.
After the work was completed, Bai Yuzhen did not linger at all.
She just gave Gu Huaiwei a look, then quickly left the room with the empty medicine bowl.
After drinking the medicine, the librarian fell into a deep sleep.
"Dad always trusts outsiders, whether it's Bella or those damn secretaries." Han Zhusheng looked at the librarian who was sleeping peacefully with cold eyes, "But in fact, only Mom and I really care about him."
Gu Huaiwei glanced at the Chinese medicine that Han Zhusheng had just asked her to feed.
Judging from the library director's reaction, Han Zhusheng's medicine will only make the library director even more twisted.
Gu Huaiwei doesn't have to worry about offending these weird things.
"But your medicine isn't as effective as Miss Secretary's."
Han Zhusheng didn't deny it: "What do you think is crueler for a patient destined to die, to let him live in pain, or to let him not receive treatment and die naturally?"
