Chapter 018 Chapter 18
The ghost old lady who led the dance said that her name was Zhai Fengting.
Zhai Fengting had a son and a daughter, each of whom had started a family and worked hard in other cities, leaving Zhai Fengting alone in this city.
The two children felt that their mother was old and were worried about her living alone, so they simply searched for a suitable nursing home in this city and planned to send their mother to live there.
After searching for a long time, they found this Youai Nursing Home.
According to the introduction of the promotional advertisement, this is a new nursing home that integrates care, medical care and nursing care. It is suitable for the elderly to live and recuperate here for a long time, and the monthly admission price is not cheap.
After the two children asked the old man for his opinion, they sent Zhai Fengting here.
This is indeed a good place to go. Many elderly people come here for treatment. The green parks and squares specially built by the nursing home can provide a good space for leisure and entertainment for the elderly.
At first, Zhai Fengting lived here happily.
But not long after, she began to feel unwell, often dizzy, palpitating and tinnitus.
Zhai Fengting initially suspected that the formaldehyde in the room was not completely dispersed, so she was affected. But when she asked her roommate, she found that she had been here longer than she was, but she was full of energy, so she dispelled this doubt. Later
, Zhai Fengting told the head nurse about her symptoms and told her that she wanted to have a physical examination.
The nursing home is fully equipped with physical examination equipment, and regular examinations are done for the elderly. The head nurse quickly arranged a physical examination for her.
After a series of examinations, the data showed that Zhai Fengting had no physical problems.
The head nurse smiled and told her that it might be because she had just arrived here and was not used to the food and accommodation, so she should not worry too much, keep a calm mind, and she would be able to adapt soon.
Zhai Fengting dispelled her doubts, and she began to actively participate in activities for the elderly.
She especially liked square dancing, and soon joined the dance team, choreographing and rehearsing with the old sisters every day.
But who knew that one day Zhai Fengting was rehearsing, and while dancing, she suddenly felt dizzy, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.
Who knew that she never woke up again.
After that, the family was notified, the body was taken away, and cremated.
Her children did wonder how their mother could be fine, but something happened to her not long after she was sent to the nursing home. However, if they wanted to find evidence, they had to do an autopsy on the body. The
old lady always liked to say that she wanted to be completely intact. After the two children discussed it, they finally decided not to do an autopsy, but to cremate the body directly.
Someone in the comment area said: [Just a question, isn’t cremation required now? In that case, an autopsy will not affect the integrity of the body, after all, it is burned.]
Zhai Fengting saw this comment, but she did not say anything, just kept silent.
After so long, she must have thought of it a long time ago, maybe the children just thought it was troublesome.
But she was already dead, and her body had been cremated, so it was useless to dwell on these things.
Or perhaps, the people in the nursing home were sure of the family's reaction before they dared to attack the elderly.
"Go on." Gu Yanyi reminded her.
After her death, Zhai Fengting's soul did not leave with her body, but remained in the nursing home.
At that time, her mind was confused and she didn't know she was dead. She just instinctively repeated her trajectory over and over again.
Going to the cafeteria to eat, taking non-existent medicine, practicing square dancing, mixing in the crowd and listening to old sisters chatting...
This lasted for about half a month, and another old man was gone.
It was a grandfather who played chess.
Grandpa had a bad temper and three highs. His children were still busy with work and had established their own families. They were worried about him living alone, so they chose this nursing home.
When Grandpa had the accident, he was playing chess with his chess friend.
The chess friend's skills were much better than his. Usually, he lost more than he won. In addition, Grandpa had a bad temper, so he had an acute myocardial infarction and fell headfirst on the chessboard, never waking up again.
After learning the reason for Grandpa's death, Grandpa's children did not show much psychological fluctuations, whether they were prepared or indifferent. They took Grandpa's body and cremated it directly.
So, Grandpa became one of the lonely souls wandering unconsciously in the nursing home.
Not long after, the chess friend also came to keep him company.
The two ghosts often play chess facing an empty stone table, and all this is just a repetition of their previous habits.
Over the past year, many elderly people have passed away here, and their souls have been stranded in the same place, circling in a daze.
The accident happened a month ago.
About a month ago, Zhai Fengting's soul regained consciousness.
When she was awake, she was dancing square dance, but she didn't recognize the foreman and most of the people in the team.
Zhai Fengting was confused, but she still finished the dance, and then turned around to talk to others, but the other party ignored her as if she was invisible.
Zhai Fengting was angry and wanted to pat the man on the shoulder, but found that her hand actually went straight through the other person.
The man was completely unaware of anything, but suddenly shuddered, and looked around. When he saw Zhai Fengting, he just passed by, as if he saw air, and his gaze did not stay on her at all.
Zhai Fengting finally realized that something was wrong.
She walked around in panic, and finally saw her old sisters she knew in the small park.
But the two of them were stunned the moment they saw each other.
It was because they both found that the other's body was translucent and they could see the park behind their bodies.
More and more acquaintances gathered here, and everyone had a look of fear and disbelief on their faces. Zhai Fengting felt that she might have the same expression on her face.
"What...what's going on?" Someone finally asked.
"Ah! I remember you!" Someone pointed at the man and said, "You are old man Zhan, Zhan Changsheng! I remember you are dead!"
"Qin Yun, I remember you are gone too. At that time, you never quarreled with your old sisters. You two were arguing about whose child was more filial, and you got people excited and they never woke up."
The old sister she mentioned was also in this group of people at the moment.
Why did she die? I heard from others that she seemed to be talking to her son on the phone, and her son wanted her to act as a guarantor for a mortgage loan for him. She did not agree, and the mother and son had a quarrel and parted unhappily. After the phone call, she was upset and fell asleep on the bed that night.
At this point, the reunion of old friends turned into a death confirmation meeting.
Many old man ghosts and old woman ghosts were unaware of their own death, and only knew what happened to them after being told by the people who died later.
After confirming the cause of death, everyone was silent.
Anyone who suddenly found out that he was dead, or even turned into a ghost, would find it difficult to accept.
After a long while, Zhai Fengting in the ghost group clapped her hands and said, "Don't be depressed, everyone. I think the current situation is no different from when I was alive. I don't even need to take medicine, and I don't have to worry about when I will get sick and die. How great! Look, I can still float!" As she spoke, she kicked her feet and floated to a height of two meters.
Zhai Fengting's optimism infected the other ghosts, and they all agreed.
"Yes, I always thought that when people die, everything goes out. Now it seems that the situation is not as bad as we thought!"
"People have things that people can do, and ghosts have things that ghosts can do. Who says that ghosts can't do what people can do!"
"Since we have become ghosts, can we use dreams to ask people at home to burn something for us to use?"
This made many old ghosts think.
"Does the fact that our souls are here mean that we didn't go home on the seventh day?"
"That makes sense. Since we are conscious now, we can go back by ourselves!" As
soon as he said this, all the ghosts flew out of the sanatorium, but they didn't expect that the sanatorium seemed to be covered by a huge invisible cover, and they couldn't take a step out of the sanatorium.
After trying for a long time, the old ghosts finally gave up.
Since they have all become ghosts, things can't get worse than this. They are very open-minded, just like when they were alive, and participate in various activities according to their habits and hobbies.
One day, an old ghost stumbled back and summoned all the old ghosts and old women with a shout.
The ghosts asked him: "Old Ghost Zhao, what's the matter that has you gathered us together in such a hurry? Have you found a way out?"
Old Ghost Zhao shook his head and said: "I... I found the cause of our death!"
The ghosts looked at each other, and some of them said: "We know the cause of death, it's nothing more than myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, high blood pressure, etc. -"
"No, no!" he interrupted them, "We didn't die of illness... No, no, we did die of illness, but we shouldn't have died so soon!"
A ghost understood what he meant and asked, "You mean, even though we are sick, as long as we take medicine normally, we shouldn't die so soon?"
Old Ghost Zhao nodded vigorously and uttered a shocking sentence: "There's something wrong with the medicine! Our medicine has been replaced by someone!"
As soon as these words came out, the ghosts screamed, and some of the angry ones had already rolled up their sleeves and were ready to rush to the dean's office.
"I was fine before I came in. The doctor also said that my condition was well controlled during the hospital examination. How come I got sick for no apparent reason when I came here!"
"Yes, yes, my disease was discovered early and I took medicine to control it well. The doctor said that I could live another 20 years. I couldn't hold on for two months after coming here!"
"No, no, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'm going to the hospital to ask for an explanation!"
"Yes! Let's go together and ask for an explanation!"
"We want an explanation!"
For a moment, everyone was excited and was about to drift to the director's office.
Zhao Laogui shouted, "Stop, we are all dead! Who can see us now!"
He stopped all the ghosts who were drifting away with one sentence.
Yes, they are all dead. In front of the living, they are just a ball of air. They can't be seen or touched at all, and no one can hear what they say.
"Then... I can ask the child in his dream?"
"How can you ask him in his dream when you can't even leave the nursing home?"
These words shattered their last hope.
An old ghost has already started to wipe away his non-existent tears.
The energy that has been supporting them since they regained consciousness after turning into ghosts seems to have suddenly dissipated, and a gloomy atmosphere permeates the entire ghost group.
The ghosts have no intention of participating in any activities. Anyway, no one can see them, so what difference does it make whether they participate or not?
At this time, Zhai Fengting stood up again.
She pointed at the group of ghosts and said, "Each of you has lived for sixty or seventy years, and you didn't understand life well after you died and turned into ghosts. Although we have become ghosts now, we have our own consciousness. Although living people can't see us, we have each other as companions. We are not a ghost wandering alone in the world. This is better than any other situation, and you are still not satisfied!
" "And there must be a reason why we can't go out to the nursing home. Maybe our souls will be scattered after we go out?
" "Becoming a ghost now is a second rebirth for us old immortals. We must cherish the present, understand!"
Immediately, she said that she was going to form a square dance team for elderly ghosts. Everyone present was her member and she would not accept any objection.
So far, the Red Spider Lily Square Dance Team has been established!
