Chapter 174174 (End) The arrival of spring...
This is the sixth treatment Tu Lanxun has received.
She lay on the hospital bed, watching Lu Lianbing pull the patches and tubes off her body one by one. She couldn't help but hiss, "Can you be gentler? Hey, why is it you today? Are you done resting?"
Lu Lianbing threw the hoodie and jeans to Tu Lanxun and smiled with his back to her: "Xiao Zhao went on a business trip to the southern province. Director Wen dragged me here."
"You should practice more. Xiao Zhao's technique is much gentler than yours." Tu Lanxun changed out of her hospital dress and patted Lu Lianbing to turn around. Lu Lianbing, staring at the screen, said, "Well, your physiological indicators are basically back to normal. Very good, you can switch to monthly checkups."
Tu Lanxun looked out at the mid-spring sunshine and felt warm all over. It felt so good to be alive.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Lu, she walked out of Lucheng Second Hospital. Among the densely packed parking spaces, she immediately spotted the silver-gray Jetta.
It is not a good car nowadays. It is square, but it is polished to a silver shine. There is a figure leaning outside the driver's seat, smiling at Tu Lanxun.
N came over: "How is it?"
Tu Lanxun said, "I'm fine. Go back. I told you they need help at the trade center, and you still insisted on coming."
N flashed the "pass ring" on his wrist. After everything was over, he seemed younger mentally, and he would occasionally show some sunshine. At this moment, he caught the blue-painted xun and shone brightly. "It's new, I'll give it a try anyway."
The car drove to the dividing line between the old city and the development zone, where a flagpole for the spirit stem device was erected. Invisible energy barriers penetrated the sky. They were about to enter the largest ghost life pilot project in the country.
At the moment of crossing, the white light on N's bracelet dimmed and turned into an ordinary ornament, while a dark blue light lit up on Tu Lanxun's wrist.
The places where living people live and ghosts live are not connected. If you want to enter, you must obtain a pass bound to your identity information in advance, and the Tourism Management Bureau has an additional task of reviewing and managing ghosts.
Tu Lanxun turned his head and saw two short lines outside the car window. They were ghosts heading to the human world and living people heading to the ghost world. In the front was probably a grandfather and his grandson. The ghost was an old grandfather. The little boy suddenly threw himself into the old ghost's arms, "Grandpa! I brought you your favorite mung bean cake!"
The old ghost smiled and touched the little boy's head. "I also brought you a set of 1,000 math exercises for the transition from primary school to middle school that you'll like."
The little boy's wails resounded through the heavens and earth.
After turning two blocks, the original Penglai Building has been converted into the New World Park, where the daily necessities and entertainment industries needed by ghosts are circulated. Tu Lanxun's office is at the top.
There are not many living workers in the development zone. In addition to Tu Lanxun, Tang Weining is one of them. He is a small supervisor in logistics. Working in the yin energy all day makes him look a little listless and his skin is pale.
"You're back." Tang Weining took off his mask, his lips were very pale, and he smiled at Tu Lanxun.
Tu Lanxun raised an eyebrow. "Liu Maosheng said you had a physical examination yesterday. What were the results?"
Tang Weining shook his head, still smiling: "Maybe another six months to a year."
During the days when Tu Lanxun was being intensively treated as a zombie, Tang Weining was diagnosed with a terminal illness, which was already in the late stages.
I don’t know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate, but in the context of the coexistence of humans and ghosts around the world, the original meaning of death has been eliminated, but the fear still exists, so this definitely does not sound like good news.
Tu Lanxun choked up for a moment, and Tang Weining comforted her, "It's okay. I'll just get a new ID and continue working. I won't have to worry about chronic diseases anymore. Maybe... this is the price I paid for what I did before."
"Okay then." Tu Lanxun couldn't think of anything to say to persuade him. Life and death are no small matter. Thinking of her own grief when she left her body, she felt that being a ghost wasn't that easy either. "If you need anything, just tell me."
"Okay, give me some time off that day. As soon as my soul is refreshed, I'll head back. It'd be best if I don't miss my full attendance."
Tu Lanxun watched Tang Weining drive away, feeling unhappy and tightly holding N's hand.
Crossing the elevator corridor and pushing open the office door, Tu Lanxun saw a familiar figure sitting in the boss's chair. Tu Penglai, still as capable as ever, glanced at her and said, "Are you done?"
"You still care about me. When did you come?" Tu Lanxun said sarcastically.
It's not that she was narrow-minded. That day, her body was almost covered with corpse spots. Ms. Tu Penglai's tone when she called out to people beside her was very steady, and she didn't shed a single tear, as if she was not her own daughter, but a project that needed to be solved.
Tu Penglai waved his hand lazily: "I came here to say goodbye to you."
Tu Lanxun was puzzled: "Huh?"
"I'm going to travel around the world." Tu Penglai waved his hand, and a handsome man walked in. He looked like a ghost, with a fair and straight face and a pair of sparkling eyes shining under his black hair. He looked gentle and handsome, like a sheep with some divinity. "My new boyfriend who I've met after a long time."
A restless feeling of fatigue crept up on him, and Tu Lanxun stared over: "How many times have you met? How long have you known each other?"
Tu Penglai said frankly: "I have met him five or six times this time. Last time I met him twice, but that was a long time ago, when I was on exchange abroad."
"Let's go." Tu Lanxun felt like the whole world was bullying him. He opened the door for the two of them and watched Tu Penglai leave with the handsome guy's arm around him. He then fell onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all.
"Don't you think...?"
"I don't think so." Tu Lanxun looked up at N and rolled his eyes. "No, I'm not blind."
That handsome guy just happened to have a lamb face and natural black curly hair. Tu Penglai's curly hair was permed, but that handsome guy's curly hair was the same style as Tu Lanxun's.
Who cares.
Even if there really is some kind of bloody relationship, Tu Lanxun can guarantee that the handsome guy is just a playmate in Tu Penglai's heart, whether in the past or now.
Now... I guess it was the rekindled love and the fact that she had never talked about ghosts before that gave Ms. Tu Penglai a brief sense of novelty, but I don't know when she got tired of it.
"I hope she finds a place she likes to live abroad and doesn't come back," Tu Lanxun lamented. "It'll shorten her life. Please don't bother me."
N was curious: "Don't you have any thoughts about this?"
Although it was a bit cruel to say this in front of a ghost who died looking for his family, Tu Lanxun still said honestly: "No. Anyone who is liked by my mother and then likes my mother will definitely not be compatible with me. Besides, I died once, so I have moved on."
N seemed to understand, "Okay."
He really had nothing to say, because Nanlu met him a month after the Tianguo Group was wiped out.
Then he chose to return to the overall consciousness, that is, to dissipate in this world.
According to N, Nanlu didn't talk to him about anything that day. The two of them were very unfamiliar with each other. Nanlu just told him N's specific date of birth, and said a few dry words about why he gave up on him that year, and apologized.
As for N's mother, she had been "sacrificed" nearly thirty years ago. She was just another "Wan Amei" who was sent to a remote overseas country by the Kingdom of Heaven.
"He told me not to tell Nan Shaochen anything about him." N's tone was a little unfair, "He protected his son's experience card very well."
Tu Lanxun played with his fingers: "I always feel closer to those I raised with my own hands." Before N glared at her, she calmly added: "Of course, there are some that I don't feel close to even after raising them."
The two looked at each other in silence, feeling that even together they could not make up a complete pair of parents.
The kitten jumped down from the bookshelf and rubbed against Tu Lanxun's feet, forcing Tu Lanxun to dig out the freeze-dried food from the drawer and feed it a little bit at a time, "Bad cat."
The bad cat, Shu Bing, has become the cat king of the development zone. He has attracted a bunch of cats, and they roam the streets all day, becoming a common sight in the development zone. Recently, the two cats that Shu Bing has the best relationship with are the British Shorthair and the Tabby. Shu Bing often brings his two followers to ask for food and water.
Of course these cats are ghosts.
It could be said that the development zone suddenly had many more shadows darting past its feet, yellow, white, black, and mixed. Among them were rare breed cats as well as ordinary rural cats. Furthermore, some ghosts in the development zone also had puppies, most of whom were adopted, while others were found pets they had raised in their lifetime. In short, the owner-dog relationship was very good.
Tu Lanxun was surprised at first. "Most of the animal ghosts I see are cats and dogs. There are also two parrots, rabbits, and hamsters. Why don't I see any other flowers, birds, fish, or insects?"
Mu Xiaozhen thought about it and said, "Because the worlds of cats and dogs are most closely connected to the human world. As for the others, perhaps their life forms are so different that their souls don't belong to the same type, so they may form their own world."
That’s right, Tu Lanxun also discovered that most of the animals that can survive as ghosts were treated well by humans during their lifetime and are animals that love life; or they are simply stray animals that are attached to the world and often have not lived enough.
And those who had no regrets were similar to Nanlu, and all "reincarnated".
"That's good." N was holding onto the hash browns, but the cat snatched away a large chunk of freeze-dried food. He chuckled darkly as he watched Furrytail run away. "We can develop an industry for ghost pet supplies."
Tu Lanxun thought it was feasible. Ghosts didn't need to eat and couldn't reproduce, so she should help them find willing consumption channels.
"Black-hearted capitalist." N put his long legs on the sofa legs, straight and slender, like a birch tree growing horizontally on a spring night.
"Then you are the boss's sweetheart." Tu Lanxun smiled and leaned over to kiss her sweetheart. The scent of grass and trees filled her nostrils. She let out a long sigh.
Opening the phone, I saw in my circle of friends that Tao Si had been sent to the capital by his parents to go to school, Zhang Xiaohuai was promoting an overseas travel business exclusively for ghosts, and other acquaintances and ghosts also had their own things to do. Sonya cursed Mikhail in the comment section, the computer ghost showed off her pentakill record, Liu Maosheng shared some inspirational stories, and Tang Weining asked online for connections in the funeral industry.
She slowly smiled.
"Is there any place you want to go?" N's voice floated over.
“No…” Tu Lanxun buried his face in N’s chest and rolled around, saying sleepily, “Right here…I’m not going anywhere…”
He spoke slower and slower, and finally closed his eyes and breathed steadily.
N replied hazily: "Okay, let's go together."
The spring sun is shining brightly, and the breeze brings the scent of new buds, as if everything is about to start anew.
