At this time, there was only one patient in front of Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao had already prepared and put her hands in her pockets.
"Sister Xiao, you..." Zhou Xiaozhen finally came back to her senses from the shock and daze. Her eyes were wide open and her expression was fierce. Just when Yu Xiao thought she was going to have a tantrum, Zhou Xiaozhen made a lewd face and said, "How do you feel about Doctor George? Is he strong?"
"..."
"Pah!" The nurse dropped the paper cup again.
When it was finally Yu Xiao's turn, Yu Xiao first smiled politely at the nurse. The nurse was stunned, then tremblingly opened her blood-red lips, revealing her uneven teeth, and squeezed out a terrifying and funny smile in response to this smile.
Yu Xiao took out a dirty ear from her pocket, and then pointed at her and the two people behind her.
The nurse understood what she meant, her mouth widened, and she quickly put away the ear. Then she took out a handful of things from under the window and stuffed them into Yu Xiao's hand, packed up the things and walked away quickly.
Yu Xiao was wondering about the things stuffed into her hand, and when she took them out, she saw that it was a handful of candies.
For a moment, she felt extremely complicated. Zhao Lan behind her said happily: "So you picked up human bodies last night... These things are for taking medicine."
"You are worthy of being my sister Xiao, you are so thoughtful." Zhou Xiaozhen came over and searched her pockets, "Give me some too."
Yu Xiao slapped her hand away, turned around and looked at Qiaoqiao who was standing in the corner.
She smiled, walked to the dining table and sat down, and began to eat the bread and fruit on the table. They are living people, and they will die if they don't eat. When Zhao Lan saw Yu Xiao's expression, he knew that she must be up to no good. So he pulled Zhou Xiaozhen to sit next to Yu Xiao, and they ate together in silence.
Yu Xiao ate a banana while hooking her finger at Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, come here quickly, sister will give you something delicious."
Qiaoqiao hesitated in the corner, but still came over reluctantly, but her already blue face was now even more gray.
"Qiao'er." Yu Xiao raised his thumb towards her, "You're awesome!"
Xiaojie's words had a hidden meaning, Zhou Xiaozhen quickly added, "Why are you praising her? What's so awesome about her?"
"Do you know what happened to the patient who was taken away last night?" Yu Xiao peeled an orange and played with the peel in his hand, "His skull was opened and his brain was taken out. Xiaozhen, do you know the purpose of our bed arrangement?"
Zhou Xiaozhen thought about it for a moment, then was shocked, "Could it be... the order of brain removal?"
"Correct answer!" Yu Xiao smiled at Qiaoqiao and said, "Logically, all patients' brains will be removed in just thirteen days. But look at little Qiaoqiao, she has been here for more than forty years, and her little head is still growing well."
"Oh!" Zhou Xiaozhen suddenly realized, "She is not a patient!"
Qiaoqiao bared her teeth at her, "I am the patient!"
"You are a patient, why do you still have a brain?" Zhou Xiaozhen pulled Qiaoqiao over and was about to check her head. Her hands were sticky and she let go immediately, "Eh... so disgusting, you don't wash your hair."
Qiaoqiao was almost bullied and cried, her little mouth was puckered in grievance, her eyes rolled around, trying to find a chance to escape.
"Let's discuss it." Yu Xiao approached her and whispered, "Tell us a way to avoid having your head cut off, and I'll give you a hand, how about that?"
Qiaoqiao looked at her, her eyes clearly asking, do you think I'm stupid?
"No." Qiaoqiao refused without hesitation, "You are a liar."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a liar, I'm a good person." Yu Xiao decided to change the way to talk to her, "How about this, if you don't tell me how to avoid having your head cut off, I will hand you over to George, what do you think?"
"..." Qiaoqiao opened her mouth wide, she was shocked by the shamelessness of the man in front of her.
"You also know how much George cares about me." Yu Xiao raised his hand and gently tapped Qiaoqiao's forehead, "He is very fierce, and his favorite thing to eat is fresh brains. You are so young, your brain must be very tender and delicious, right?"
"...Woo." After coming to St. Elizabeth's for more than 40 years, Qiaoqiao has been crying a lot recently. Bad people! It's so bad that bad people bully children!
"Tell me or not?" Zhou Xiaozhen swung the mahjong box with a ferocious look, "If you don't tell me, I will tie you up and send you to George. I will also borrow an axe from that fat pig. We will not waste your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys as well as your brain."
Qiaoqiao finally told her secret. It turned out that St. Elizabeth's Hospital had more than one floor. When each floor was full, a new floor would be added to continue receiving patients. Only the director and doctors could enter and exit each floor freely. But there was an exception. In order to keep all the patients who had their brains cut off exercising, the patients who had their brains cut off would be gathered together after the lights were turned off every night and run on each floor in another corridor.
Zhou Xiaozhen couldn't help but ask, "Why do they keep exercising?"
Qiaoqiao obviously didn't expect her to ask this question. After a while, she said hesitantly, "Maybe it's to keep the texture of the muscles."
"..."
Yu Xiao finally understood that what they met last night were brain-sliced patients who were out for activities. They went to another floor through another passage, so they disappeared on this floor.
Qiaoqiao cried until two lines of bloody tears flowed down her face. "Every time it was my turn, I would not take medicine, and then hide in the line of patients at night, through the passage and hide between two floors."
Zhao Lan asked: "Will they not be able to find you if you hide between two floors?"
"I don't know." Qiaoqiao took out a handkerchief with a chicken embroidered on it from her pocket and gently wiped the blood off her face. "Anyway, they never found me."
Zhao Lan: "What about the next day? Don't I have to hide the next day?"
"The next day they will take away the patient on the next bed." Qiaoqiao finally wiped her face clean. "I just need to wait, wait for the next batch of patients to come in, and then I will go to the next ward."
After that, she looked at Jiang Du and the other two and said, "Have I wiped it all clean?"
Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her seriously and said, "There is still blood on your eyeballs."
"Oh." Qiaoqiao lowered her head, raised her hand to cover her eyeballs, held them in her hand and wiped them carefully.
Zhou Xiaozhen frowned at this scene. Yu Xiao thought she couldn't bear to see such a scene. Just as he was about to let Qiaoqiao leave, he heard Zhou Xiaozhen say, "Why do you have to stay here? Isn't it better to leave St. Elizabeth?"
Qiaoqiao, who was wiping her eyes, was stunned for a moment, then raised her head with two black holes facing the three people, and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to go out?"
Zhou Xiaozhen paused and asked incomprehensibly, "Don't you want to be free?"
Qiaoqiao fell into a daze again, as if she was trying her best to understand the meaning of the word freedom, and then she smiled, "It's great here, there's food and a bed to sleep on."
"..."
Xiaozhen was speechless, Zhao Lan comforted her, "Don't feel bad, everyone has their own... ghosts have their own ambitions."
Yu Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "You often follow those brain-cut patients to shuttle between the floors, have you seen the director's office?"
"Yes." Qiaoqiao pressed her clean eyeballs back, "It's on the first floor."
Yu Xiao and the other two looked at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"Thank you, Qiaoqiao." Yu Xiao gratefully took out a hand from his pocket, "This is for you, take your time to eat."
Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, and saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. She took the hand awkwardly, put her thumb in her mouth, and then smiled happily.
Watching Qiaoqiao skipping away, Zhao Lan said, "If everything goes well, we can leave tonight. Xiaoxiao, I'm so glad you're okay. You don't know how scary last night was."
"Yeah, that fat pig actually picked me up and shook me, and then threw me." Zhou Xiaozhen said, patting Yu Xiao's shoulder, "Sister Xiao, why didn't you tell us earlier that you could hide with your boyfriend? We worried for nothing."
Yu Xiao was speechless, "Do you really think George is my boyfriend? Let me tell you, I have requirements for my future boyfriend. He must at least meet the following conditions. Handsome, humorous, and have a bank account of at least eight digits."
Zhou Xiaozhen was silent at first, and then asked, "What didn't George meet? Is he a poor guy?"
"I forgot to mention that I recently added another condition." Yu Xiao: "My future boyfriend must be a living person."
"This request is too much. In our current environment, it is too difficult to find a living man." Zhou Xiaozhen suggested sincerely, "In fact, sometimes there is not much difference between a dead man and a living man. Shouldn't you relax your conditions a little?"
Yu Xiao insisted, "Impossible, are you willing to find a dead boyfriend?"
"If he is handsome, it's not impossible." Zhou Xiaozhen smiled shyly, "By the way, Sister Lan, do you have any requirements for your future boyfriend?"
Zhao Lan never expected that she would be involved. She thought about it seriously, "A living one..."
"By the way." Qiaoqiao, who had already left, suddenly appeared at the corner, "Are you looking for the dean?"
The three of them looked over at the same time. Qiaoqiao held her severed hand and licked it while saying to Yu Xiao, "If you can give me another hand, I will tell you a secret."
Yu Xiao looked at her and took out a piece of meat from an unknown part of his hand from his pocket, "Enough." Qiaoqiao's
eyes sparkled as she rushed over and snatched the piece of meat from Yu Xiao's hand, then said in a voice that only the few of them could hear, "Someone found the dean before, but they were all eaten."
