Chapter 182: Back to Reality 1
"Click."
"Click, click..."
Yu Xiao frowned. She felt her face was warm, her body was a little hot, and there were strange noises in her ears. Farther away, there were sounds of people walking back and forth, coughing, and talking loudly.
"Doctor! Can my surgery tomorrow not be scheduled at 4 pm? It's unlucky..."
"Let's eat... let's eat..." "
Is the CT report for bed three out yet..."
Yu Xiao opened her eyes. The bright light in front of her made her feel uncomfortable. She raised her hands to cover her eyes, squinted her eyes and gasped for air. It was a very strange and long-lost feeling.
"Sister Lan." A familiar voice was speaking in her ear, "Sister Xiao is awake."
"Ahem..." Yu Xiao coughed and asked, "Xiao Zhen?"
"Hmm?"
Then Yu Xiao heard the sound of slippers walking on the ground, and then a voice close to her said, "Sister Xiao, it's time for dinner, get up and eat."
Putting down her hand that was blocking her eyes, Yu Xiao squinted and looked up. Her vision was blurred for a moment, but soon it became clear.
A round, tender, hairless head was hanging above her.
"Xiaozhen..." Yu Xiao was still a little confused, "Where's your hair?"
"..." Zhou Xiaozhen's expression changed immediately. She reached into the bag of chips in her left hand with her right hand, picked up a chip with two fingers and put it into her mouth, "Crack, crack, crack... Sister Xiao, you're making fun of me again. I tell you this is a wound in my heart. I don't allow you to make this joke before my hair grows out..."
Yu Xiao finally came to her senses in the midst of Zhou Xiaozhen's endless chatter. She's back! She's really back! She's out of the hospital!
Yu Xiao subconsciously reached out and pressed her hand on her chest, which was still silent.
It seems that even if she is out of the hospital, the obsession will not become a real heart.
Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her movements strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Chest pain?"
Yu Xiao: "?"
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Is your period coming?"
"..." Yu Xiao tilted her neck to look around, and in the bed next to her, Zhao Lan was leaning on the bed staring at the computer.
"Sister Lan!" Although it was not many days, it still felt like a lifetime ago to see Sister Lan and Xiaozhen again.
Zhao Lan also had no hair. Hearing Yu Xiao's call, Zhao Lan closed the computer, turned to Yu Xiao and said, "Are you awake? We're going out for dinner, let's go together."
Yu Xiao put on a coat over her hospital gown, and Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen put on hats. The door of the ward was opened, and Yu Xiao stood in the aisle. The corridor was brightly lit, and patients and medical staff walked around slowly or at a brisk pace.
"Let's go." Zhao Lan smiled and took Yu Xiao's arm, "What are you doing standing here?"
Zhou Xiaozhen took Yu Xiao's other arm and hopped along, talking as she walked, "You'll be discharged soon, and I'll miss you."
"We're all in the same city, so come find us if you miss us." Zhao Lan said, "But you're going to take the college entrance exam next, right?"
Yu Xiao couldn't help asking, "Are you going to be discharged now?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xiaozhen said strangely, "You seem a little reluctant, aren't you going to be discharged after you're well?"
Yu Xiao: "Am I well?"
"Yeah." Zhao Lan thought Yu Xiao was a little strange, "It's not a serious illness."
Yu Xiao stared at their heads, "If it's not a serious illness, why do you have no hair?"
Zhao Lan's smile disappeared immediately. Zhou Xiaozhen sighed, "Sister Xiao, if we don't talk about hair, we are still good sisters. Are you stupid? You can't even remember your own things? I just said that you didn't have any serious illness. My sister Lan and I were still a little sick. We have been undergoing chemotherapy for several months, okay?"
Yu Xiao asked, "Are you better now?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her strangely, "The doctor said it's better. You know that."
"Xiaoxiao, are you confused because of your sleep?" Zhao Lan raised his hand and tapped Yu Xiao's forehead, "Why are you talking weirdly today?"
Yu Xiao blinked, lowered her head and began to touch her pocket.
Zhao Lan asked, "What are you looking for?"
Looking for a cell phone, Yu Xiao took out the cell phone and saw that the time on the cell phone was the day they entered the Sixth Hospital. In other words, in the real world, they had never disappeared for a moment.
When they were successfully discharged from the hospital, their illness was cured.
Zhou Xiaozhen chose a barbecue stall for dinner, and the three of them ate barbecue outdoors outside the store. Zhou Xiaozhen ate the skewers and sighed, "It's so strange, I always feel like I haven't eaten barbecue like this outside for a long time."
Zhao Lan didn't say anything, but he thought so in his heart.
Yu Xiao was holding a skewer, and there was a bustling night market next to him. This kind of fireworks that belonged only to the living could never be imitated in the world of the dead.
"That's great." Yu Xiao said with a satisfied smile, "We are all discharged from the hospital."
Zhao Lan didn't understand why Yu Xiao, who was the least ill among the three of them, felt so emotional. She licked her lips and said, "Can I drink?"
Zhou Xiaozhen said very interestedly, "But I'm not an adult yet."
"Beer." Zhao Lan said.
"That's fine." Zhou Xiaozhen said quickly, "I've been drinking beer since I was six years old."
Yu Xiao added subconsciously, "I started playing mahjong when I was eight years old."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaozhen rubbed her hands, "Sister Xiao, how did you know? I tell you, my card skills are unparalleled in the world. When I was in junior high school, I had already beaten all the opponents in the village..."
"Don't always think about these things, you still have to study now." Zhao Lan said, turning to the boss and said, "Boss, two bottles of beer!"
Zhou Xiaozhen frowned instantly, "Sister Lan, can we not talk about such unhappy topics when we are happy?"
Yu Xiao remembered the promise she made to Zhou Xiaozhen in the hospital, and she said, "Xiaozhen, how about I hire a tutor for you."
"..." Zhou Xiaozhen opened her mouth wide and looked at her with a blank expression, "Why?"
"Don't you need counseling?" Yu smiled and said, "You've been in the hospital for so long, do you still remember those knowledge points?"
The owner of the barbecue restaurant was very busy. He hurriedly brought a few bottles of beer and placed them on their table. Zhao Lan asked, "Where is the bottle opener?"
"I'll get it for you right away!" The owner said and hurried away.
While distributing cups, Zhao Lan asked, "Xiaoxiao, you want to hire a tutor for Xiaozhen? I remember you are still in school, right? Where do you get the money?"
"I'm not short of money." The topic of money seemed very far away to Yu Xiao now. She didn't take it to heart at all.
Zhao Lan had only seen Yu Xiao's parents once or twice, and it seemed that their family was well off, so Zhao Lan asked, "Do your parents give you a lot of pocket money?"
"Not bad." Yu Xiao was not very clear about this. She said, "I have two houses in the city center, which I rent out. The monthly rent is more than 10,000 yuan. It's okay to hire a tutor for Xiaozhen."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "..."
Zhao Lan was choked up. She had worked so hard for so many years, but now she just bought a house with a loan, and the location was average. Xiaoxiao was still in school, but she already owned two houses in the city center.
"You..." Zhao Lan thought for a while and said, "Why hasn't the boss sent the bottle opener yet?"
Yu Xiao took the beer, raised her hand and gently twisted the bottle cap, and the bottle opened.
The bottle cap fell on the table with a crisp sound. Zhou Xiaozhen was so shocked that she could fit a whole eggplant in her mouth. Zhao Lan gave a thumbs up, "Great, Xiaoxiao, how did you do that?" The
bottle cap opening was just Yu Xiao's subconscious behavior. When they were in the hospital, because their bodies were strengthened, they were used to taking action directly when something happened.
Yu Xiao shook her hand. Even after being discharged from the hospital, she still maintained her strength. Could it be because she had an obsessive mind?
Zhao Lan raised the glass and Yu Xiao poured her wine.
There were seven or eight young men at the table next to them, and they were always noisy. When Yu Xiao was pouring wine for Zhao Lan, a man in black clothes at the next table suddenly stood up and slapped the table hard, shaking the bottles and plates on the table.
Zhao Lan, who was holding the wine glass, was startled and subconsciously tightened his grip. As a result, he heard a "crack" and the glass wine glass actually broke directly. The yellow beer spilled instantly and soaked the table.
The group of people at the next table heard the noise, turned around to look, and then shouted "Fuck!" in unison.
The boss who came over with a bottle opener also saw it. He didn't think the wine glass was crushed by the delicate beauty in front of him. His first thought was that the quality of this wine glass was too poor. Next time, he should not be greedy and buy such a cheap wine glass.
If Zhou Xiaozhen's mouth could be stuffed with eggplant just now, now her mouth is wide enough to add two chicken wings.
"Wow!" Zhou Xiaozhen's admiration was beyond words, "Sister Lan, you are so awesome, right? Do you know internal energy?"
Zhao Lan was confused, she felt that she didn't use much force. So it must not be her fault, it must be the quality of the wine glass.
"Hehe." Zhao Lan laughed dryly, "Maybe this wine glass is broken."
"So cool!" Zhou Xiaozhen also picked up the wine glass and imitated Zhao Lan's just now, "Sister Xiao, did you see it? Sister Lan just did this, just holding the wine glass like this..."
"Crack!"
"It's a pity!"
In full view of the public, the cup in Xiaozhen's hand also cracked.
"..."
"Fuck..." The people at the next table exclaimed in unison again.
The boss holding the bottle opener twitched his cheeks and thought to himself that he had to change it, as a cup of this quality was simply rubbish. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would be terrible if someone was hurt.
Zhou Xiaozhen's hand still maintained the posture of holding the wine glass, and Zhao Lan looked at her in shock and dumbfounded.
Yu Xiao thought about it, and then she figured it out. She had always had a question before, where did the Yin Qi that invaded the human body go after the living people were discharged from the hospital? Now she understands that the Yin Qi still exists in the bodies of the living, but it has changed into a different form.
Although Sister Lan and Xiaozhen were discharged from the hospital and although they have forgotten all the memories in the hospital, the power bestowed by the Yin Qi still exists.
Yu Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, what is this? She vaguely felt that the hospital and reality were not completely disconnected, and that the hospital was quietly influencing reality in some ways.
She looked at Xiaozhen and Sister Lan again. Was their situation... considered a supernatural power?
"Sorry, sorry." The boss came over with a bottle opener, sweating profusely. "The cup has been used for too long, and the quality is not good. I will replace the cup for you right away."
The people at the next table looked at each other, and then the person who slammed the table before also picked up a cup and started pinching it. After pinching for a long time, his face turned red, and the cup did not move at all.
"Boss, the quality of your cup is so poor." Zhou Xiaozhen subconsciously didn't believe that she was that awesome. She wiped her hands and smiled at Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan, "Just now for a moment I thought I was a peerless master, but I was so excited."
"Boss, please get us two more cups." Zhou Xiaozhen picked up the beer bottle and said, "Why don't we drink directly from the bottle."
Zhao Lan smiled and said, "Isn't one bottle a bit too much?"
"Not at all." Zhou Xiaozhen said proudly, "Is there a difference between beer and drinks?"
Yu Xiao did not participate in the conversation because she was still thinking about the impact of the hospital on reality. And after the appearance of the Laojun Talisman, the number of patients discharged from the hospital will definitely increase. In that case, there will be more people like Sister Lan Xiaozhen who have extraordinary powers. Will it have any serious impact on the real world?
She was thinking, Zhao Lan looked at Zhou Xiaozhen's heroic look, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you are powerful, don't hold the bottle, be careful not to crush it."
"Hahahaha..." Zhou Xiaozhen laughed, "I'll crush it for you to see."
"Crack!"
"Fuck..."
Yu Xiao raised his head and saw Zhou Xiaozhen was stupid again, her right hand still holding the bottle. The bottle had broken into many pieces and fell on the table, and beer flowed all over the table. The boss who was about to go back to the store to get a glass also heard the sound and turned around to see this scene.
At this time, the tables outside the barbecue restaurant were quiet, and everyone stared at Yu Xiao's table in amazement. Some people came to their senses, silently picked up their phones to open the video, and aimed it at Yu Xiao's table.
"I..." Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her hands in confusion, "Am I really a master?"
The man in black clothes who had been holding a cup at the next table for a long time passed the cup in his hand to her, "Why don't you try this one?"
Yu Xiao frowned, "Let's go back."
Zhou Xiaozhen took the cup and squeezed it gently.
"Crack!"
There was another "Fuck!" from the surroundings.
The man in black who handed the cup looked at Yu Xiao and the other two with awe, and there was yearning in the awe. He swallowed and asked, "Do you... know martial arts?"
Zhao Lan was also confused. If only Xiaozhen was in this situation, she could still think that Xiaozhen was more powerful and gifted, but she just crushed a cup herself.
Thinking that Zhao Lan also picked up an unopened bottle of beer, Yu Xiao knew what she was going to do and immediately stopped her, "Sister Lan, let's go back."
Zhao Lan was confused, how could she be willing to go back? She also squeezed it hard.
"Kacha!"
The boss behind him wiped his sweat and came over to say, "You guys, don't keep pinching the cups. I still have to do business here."
"Sister Lan..." Zhou Xiaozhen looked at Zhao Lan excitedly.
Zhao Lan could no longer think. She looked at her hands, more confused than when she was solving the last math problem in the college entrance examination.
Yu Xiao grabbed a person with one hand and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Xiaozhen: "Wait..."
Then the two of them were dragged away by Yu Xiao. After a long time, the people around them came back to their senses from the shock. The boss slapped his thigh and said, "You haven't paid yet!"
Yu Xiao dragged the two people to the park next to the hospital. Zhou Xiaozhen slapped a mosquito to death and asked, "Sister Xiao, why did you drag us here?"
Yu Xiao didn't know how to tell them. He couldn't tell them that we were sick and dying, and one day we were suddenly dragged into a hospital full of ghosts, and then we kept killing monsters and finally discharged. We were discharged from the hospital and recovered, and the abilities we gained in the hospital were also brought with us.
It's not that Yu Xiao didn't want to tell them this, but it would be a long story and they might not be able to accept it.
Zhao Lan asked: "Xiao Xiao, do you have something to say to us? Do you know why we are like this?"
"I... don't know." Yu Xiao said: "I just think your situation is not right, it's best not to let others know. Haven't you seen the movie? Some people suddenly awaken superpowers, and then they are captured by a group of men in black and locked up for research."
Zhou Xiaozhen believed this explanation on the spot.
"Sister Xiao, you are right." Zhou Xiaozhen said to Zhao Lan with a look of fear on her face: "Sister Lan, what if the country or some mysterious organization finds out about our situation just now? What if we are in trouble?"
Zhao Lan looked at her speechlessly, then said to Yu Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, you can fool Xiaozhen with this, but you better tell the truth to me."
Yu Xiao was very surprised. She was still very confident in her acting skills. After all, she had fooled so many attending doctors. So she asked: "Where did I give myself away?"
Zhao Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly, then raised her hand and said: "This hand of mine could even crush a wine bottle just now. But you grabbed my hand and dragged me away, and I had no room to resist. What does this prove?"
"What does it prove?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked.
"That means she is better than us!" Zhao Lan thought to herself that Xiaozhen couldn't even figure this out, how could she do well in the college entrance examination?
"Oh!!!" Zhou Xiaozhen looked at Yu Xiao with stars in her eyes, "Sister Xiao, are you so awesome?"
Yu Xiao's mouth twitched.
Zhao Lan looked at her with an expression that said, "Just tell me the truth," and said, "Don't try to deceive us. You just saw us pinching the wine glasses with our bare hands, and you were not surprised at all. That means you must have known it a long time ago. So, what's going on?" Unexpectedly, the truth
was revealed so soon. Yu Xiao was thinking that everyone had lost their memories, and only she remembered. She felt that she was a bit tragic, similar to the tragic protagonist in the movie who hides his identity and fame. Unexpectedly...
"It's a long story." Yu Xiao looked melancholy.
"It's okay." Zhao Lan: "We have plenty of time to wait for you to finish."
"I suggest changing places." Zhou Xiaozhen raised her hand.
Zhao Lan: "Why?"
"There are too many mosquitoes." Zhou Xiaozhen slapped herself in the face, "Did the mosquito only bite me, or did you really not feel anything at all?"
They returned to the ward.
Zhou Xiaozhen took out potato chips, spicy strips and carbonated drinks from the cabinet, "Have some snacks, I'm so hungry."
Yu Xiao lifted her quilt and found that she had not brought out Teng Jingzhi's bed brother's mobile phone.
Except for herself, nothing can be taken out of the hospital.
She sat on the bed, lowered her head, and said: "Where to start... Let's start from when we were about to die of illness."
Zhao Lan looked at Yu Xiao seriously, and Zhou Xiaozhen also put down her snacks.
"That night I didn't sleep, I was secretly playing with my phone, and suddenly my phone automatically downloaded an A, called the Fourth Hospital Patient Exchange Forum..."
Yu Xiao spoke slowly, starting from the beginning, telling them in detail what happened to them. Those things seemed to have happened a long time ago, but when they talked about them, they felt like they were right in front of them.
As the night deepened, neither Zhao Lan nor Zhou Xiaozhen interrupted Yu Xiao's words, they were all immersed in those bizarre stories that had happened to them and were eventually forgotten.
"Knock knock." The nurse knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and said to the three of them, "Go to bed early, we have to draw blood tomorrow morning."
"Oh." Zhao Lan lowered her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and responded.
"What happened next?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked with red eyes, "How did you get out of the hospital?"
"The nightmare helped me..." Yu Xiao said, and then asked the two, "Do you believe what I said?"
"The story you told is too far-fetched." Zhao Lan sniffed, took a piece of paper to wipe her tears, "But I believe it, I just heard you say, I feel like I've experienced it again."
Zhou Xiaozhen thought for a while, walked to Yu Xiao's side, she stretched out her hand and gently pressed on Yu Xiao's heart.
After a while, she put her hand down, "There's really no heartbeat."
"Wuwu..." Zhou Xiaozhen cried, "Sister Xiao, did you really almost die for us?"
"I'm alive now." Yu Xiao said.
"It's kind of cool." Zhou Xiaozhen cried and said, "You are now the boss of a ghost world. Wow, when you walk alone on the street and look at those ordinary people, do you have a feeling...you ignorant mortals, this feeling?"
"Uh..." Yu Xiao licked his lips and said seriously, "I just came back and haven't had time to walk on the street alone."
Zhao Lan digested it for a while, then she raised her hands and squeezed them, "So, there is another existence in our bodies?"
"It's a bit like we have awakened super powers." Zhou Xiaozhen became excited, "A bit like the X-Men, I feel super cool."
Zhao Lan said, "Xiaozhen, the fact that we are different from ordinary people, it is better not to let others know."
Zhou Xiaozhen was stunned for a moment, then it suddenly dawned on her, "I understand, there will be a mysterious organization that will capture us for research. Don't worry, I won't be exposed." Yu Xiao
smiled with relief, she said, "I can stay for about a week this time. In addition to seeing you, I also want to find some people."
"Are you talking about Teng Jingzhi and the others?" Zhao Lan thought for a while and said, "I can help."
Yu Xiao nodded.
"Then what about your studies?" Zhao Lan asked, "Are you going to continue studying?"
"Well..." This question was a bit difficult, so Yu Xiao smiled. She had never thought about such a question before.
Since Zhao Lan asked this question, Zhou Xiaozhen had to ask, "Then do I still need to take the college entrance examination?"
Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan said in unison: "Of course!"
"Oh..." Zhou Xiaozhen shrank her head weakly, and suddenly she became enlightened, "I think I will succeed!" Yu Xiao,
who was seriously thinking about whether to continue her studies, glanced at her, "What success?"
"My grades are average. I have been worrying about which school I should go to in the future. Now I have a direction." Zhou Xiaozhen raised her hand and clenched her fist, "Do you think that with my physical fitness strengthened by the other world, can I win glory for my country by participating in the Olympics?"
