Poison (15)
No. 6 Middle School has changed, and the atmosphere on campus has improved a lot.
The novelty of being a student and a teacher wore off, and people were not coming to the school clinic as frequently as before, so Yu Shu had a lot more free time.
Seeing that the weather was good and no one was coming, he opened the side window to take a look.
Several classes were having physical education classes on the playground. The boys were playing basketball shirtless, their greasy sweat reflecting light, while the girls were playing badminton under the shade of trees.
The girl on the badminton court, which was farther away from the tree, hit the badminton too hard and hit the branch of the tree.
Yu Shu recognized that it was a student from Class 17. The person who hit the ball was the girl who had accompanied Wang Zhiyao to the school infirmary before.
The youthful and energetic scene reminded Yu Shu of his high school days. His eyes were gentle and a little envious as he watched the students running and jumping.
The girl on the badminton court closest to the school infirmary leaped high, as if invisible wings were soaring in the sunlight. Her thighs, waist, shoulders, and elbows simultaneously exerted force, delivering a perfectly executed, beautiful spike.
The badminton was caught on the ground by her just after it passed the net, and she lost control and fell to the ground with a thud.
Something was not right. The girl was moving as fast as a cheetah with excellent body control just a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a machine suddenly lost power and stopped running.
The girl's arms turned slightly red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, all the skin exposed to the air was dyed red.
Yu Shu's heart skipped a beat. This was too sudden. He rushed out of the school clinic to check on the girl's condition.
"Don't move, wait for me to come over." Yu Shu jumped up with his hands on the windowsill, and his long legs drew an arc in the air.
When I got closer, I found that the girl was none other than Lin Wenxue.
Yu Shu briefly checked the girl's condition. Her breathing was normal, but her body temperature was low, which was a symptom of being poisoned.
Before this, Yu Shu had never dared to make a decisive conclusion and had always been suspicious of Wang Zhiyao, because the names written in the notebook were all the names of those who had been poisoned.
But when he saw with his own eyes such a sudden coma and Wang Zhiyao was still in the hospital, the wisp of doubt in his heart was completely shattered.
"Ask a classmate to notify the homeroom teacher to contact the student's parents, and the physical education teacher to help send the person to the hospital."
Yu Shu stood up and brushed off the dust on the hem of his white coat.
When the hospital saw the school uniform of No. 6 Middle School, it was like seeing an NPC with a fixed task, and it automatically tracked and completed the task with one click.
"I request to check the surveillance footage. It happened so suddenly, who knows if someone is interfering." Lin Wenxue's mother stepped into the ward in her high heels, ordering the head teacher and Yu Shu around.
The head teacher cannot change his fawning attitude in a short time.
Yu Shu coughed dryly twice, reminding her of what happened two days ago. She immediately calmed down, straightened her back, and said seriously, "I'm sorry to interrupt your busy work schedule this time. You can go to school to see the surveillance in person, but what's more important is Lin Wenxue's health."
"Why do accidents always happen in No. 6 Middle School? What do the doctors say? What's your school doctor for? Don't you know how to prevent it?" Lin Wenxue's mother lifted the curly hair hanging beside her cheek and threw it behind her ear, raising her voice and asking sharply.
The head teacher gritted his teeth and pushed forward, bowing and apologizing: "The doctor said to take him home as soon as possible and not stand in the hospital bed."
Lin Wenxue's mother had heard about this disease in the parent group, but she still got angry when she heard this. Her eyebrows knitted together and she said unreasonably, "I don't know which fake school this doctor graduated from, but he still treats patients when he has no ability."
"Mother Lin Wenxue, this is a new type of difficult and complicated disease that medicine has not yet thoroughly studied. We can't use your child as a research subject." The head teacher usually spoke to parents in a condescending manner. Now asking her to lower herself was as difficult as driving a pig up a tree.
Zi Yushu watched the verbal battle between the two women. The one in power was forced to be humble, while the one who was wrong acted arrogantly.
Lin Wenxue's mother finally noticed that there was someone beside her. When she saw Yu Shu's appearance clearly, her eyes lit up, but she still spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Who are you?"
Yu Shu smiled politely: "It doesn't matter who I am. The nurse will be here soon to urge you to go. You should take your daughter home first."
Less than three seconds after she finished speaking, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the ward: "Hello, are you Lin Wenxue's guardian? Please cooperate with the hospital and vacate the bed."
Lin Wenxue's mother was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. Her face turned red and green. Moreover, she had not paid much attention to her daughter's physical condition since she came in. It seemed that she had a backup plan.
She called someone to come and carry Lin Wenxue out, and before leaving, she glared at Yu Shu and the nurse.
"You go back first, I'll go up to see Wang Zhiyao."
The class teacher had the upper hand over the two of them, so how could they dare not disobey Yu Shu's command? They took a step forward as soon as they heard the voice.
Seeing her walk away, Yu Shu said politely, "Thank you for coming over just to help me."
"Doctor Yu, you're so polite. We've received a lot of care from you in the past. By the way, Wang Zhiyao seems to be in good condition today and looks quite energetic."
"Well, thank you for keeping an eye on it for me."
The loose hospital gown made Wang Zhiyao look even thinner, and the trouser legs and sleeves rustled when the wind blew.
Wang Zhiyao was in really good condition. He got out of bed and did stretching exercises by the window.
The movement of stretching his waist exposed a small part of his waist and abdomen, and fresh blood oozed from the bandaged area, but he seemed to have lost his sense of pain and continued to turn his waist and bend his back.
"You're here?!"
Wang Zhiyao seemed to be in a state of over-optimism. His bright and sunny smile made him look like a different person. He didn't lower his head when talking to people, and he didn't lower his eyes immediately after making eye contact with people to avoid eye contact.
I haven't seen you for just one night, but you've changed so much.
Yu Shu's brows twitched unconsciously, and he thought of post-traumatic stress disorder. Perhaps this incident had hurt Wang Zhiyao too much, causing his behavioral consciousness to become extreme in the opposite direction.
"The scab will be torn, so you need to rest." Yu Shu stepped forward and tried to pull Wang Zhiyao back to the bed.
Wang Zhiyao quickly put his hands into his sleeves and warned in a panic, "Don't touch me."
Yu Shu was a little confused. Wang Zhiyao's mood changes were like turning pages of a book. It was so unpredictable that he could change at any time.
He took a small step back and said, "Okay, I won't touch you. Just lie down on the bed and rest, or your wound will heal slowly. Be obedient."
Wang Zhiyao smiled again: "Why are you here? I'm so bored alone. I can't find the TV remote control and can't change the channel."
"Ask the nurses, they'll find it for you."
The trance-like feeling was caused by the constant pressure and accumulation in Shu's heart, forming a vortex that disrupted her thoughts. The person in front of her was clearly Wang Zhiyao, but the way he spoke and his demeanor were completely different, as if a cheerful soul had taken over Wang Zhiyao's body.
He wondered if the cheerful boy in front of him was Wang Zhiyao's alter ego.
But just as this thought came to mind, Wang Zhiyao spoke up: "I am Wang Zhiyao, not a second personality or anything like that. You don't have to look so serious."
Yu Shu became even more suspicious. Apart from his twitching brows, his facial expression remained under control. However, Wang Zhiyao saw through his thoughts.
Wang Zhiyao added, "The doctor was like this when he came to see me. He even called in a psychiatrist, but the results showed that there was nothing wrong with me."
"After experiencing terrible things, I felt that why should I live so cautiously, since the situation is already so bad." Wang Zhiyao tilted his head and smiled.
Wang Zhiyao's words were like invisible blades, cutting into Shu's heart with every word.
He looked at the dark circles under Wang Zhiyao's eyes, which were so eye-catching. As a teenager, he must have thought about it for a long time last night and had a long and difficult mental struggle to make such a change.
Whether as a doctor or an elder, Yu Shu was powerless and failed to fundamentally reverse the damage caused by school bullying.
"You can tell me anything."
Wang Zhiyao's eyes were brighter than the sunlight outside the window: "You can help me for a while, but you can't help me forever. I have to walk the road ahead on my own. Besides... I can't always trouble you."
Wang Zhiyao wanted to say, besides, we are just ordinary friends, but Yu Shu was disappointed, so he changed his mind.
Yu Shu used a smile to hide his inner helplessness.
"Brother, you should be at school at this time. Why are you in the hospital?" Yu Huan opened the door, and his pupils flashed with joy and surprise when he saw Yu Shu.
"Something happened to a student in school, so I sent him to the hospital. Now that you're here, I'll go back first." Yu Shu patted Yu Huan's shoulder.
"Okay."
Yu Huan put the insulated lunch box on the bedside table and poured all the snacks in the bag in front of the bed. Most of them were chocolates and candies.
Yu Shu sat in the school clinic for two whole evening self-study periods. He sent a message to Jiang Yu to ask about his progress but received no reply.
"Is the school doctor here?" the female student knocked on the door and asked politely.
"Yes, the door is unlocked."
The person who came was Sun Mengting. She locked the door as soon as she entered the school clinic. It was obvious that she was not ill. "Doctor Yu, is Wang Zhiyao okay?"
Yu Shu had a good impression of her. He could see that she was just pretending to bully Wang Zhiyao in front of others, but she actually cared about him very much.
"It's serious, what's wrong?"
"I want to go see him. If you go to see him this weekend, can you take me with you?"
"Why don't you just ask me for the ward number directly? Why go through so much trouble?" Yu Shu blinked, his hands busy spinning a pen.
Sun Mengting sighed: "I'm afraid you think I'm in cahoots with the group that bullied Wang Zhiyao."
"Wang Zhiyao told me that you were threatened for speaking up for him." Yu Shu pulled out a piece of prescription paper and wrote a string of words in doctor's handwriting on it, but the number at the beginning was particularly neat.
The sky seemed to be covered with an impenetrable black cloth, and neither the stars nor the moon could be seen.
"Get in the car."
Jiang Yu timed it right and waited for Shu to get off work at the gate of No. 6 Middle School.
Yu Shu was not surprised that Jiang Yu came back. He had already summed up his experience. As long as it took a long time for him to receive a reply after sending a message to Jiang Yu, it basically meant that he had discovered something and would definitely come to find him.
Yu Shu took off his white coat, and the simple white shirt and jeans gave him a very youthful look.
With the help of the street lights, Jiang Yu felt that Yu Shu was walking towards him under the spotlight.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the police station"
Yu Shu was stunned when he heard this: "Why go to the police station? Who was arrested?"
"Zhang Chaoling went to turn herself in." Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.
But isn’t Zhang Chaoling already dead?
Later, he asked Jiang Yu and Zhang Chaoling whether they would continue to live as zombies. Jiang Yu told him that the only ones who could survive were zombies, while zombies could only survive until the seventh day at most, after which their souls would completely dissipate and they would not even be eligible to enter reincarnation.
Jiang Yu continued, "Don't you find it strange? After the seventh day, he still ran to the police station to turn himself in. And he clearly came to us for help before."
Yu Shu was still thinking about asking the principal to improve the school atmosphere first, and then wait for them to find the poison, and then wait for Jiang Yu to find a way to make his evil deeds public and give justice to the injured students and their families. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoling got there first.
But it doesn’t matter, it will come out sooner or later anyway.
"It's strange to meet you at Yu Dingan's funeral." Yu Shu was relieved to see Jiang Yu and was in the mood to joke because he knew that Jiang Yu would definitely clear the victim's name.
"There's even more interesting news." Jiang Yu also curled his lips, but his tone remained cold. "The poisonous creature from Sixth Middle School was once suppressed by his peers, but someone released him not long ago. That's why there have been a series of strange things happening in the past six months."
