Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

When he first saw the performance rankings, Lian Xi set himself a small goal: to defeat Wuxi.

Today is the end of September, and there are 25 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Sioux City is the last with less than 2000 sales, and Wuxi is the second last with less than 4000 sales.However, apart from these two cities, Jinhua Guicha, which is the third from last, has a performance of more than 8000 points!

Yes, I chose Wuxi not because I was afraid of Jinhua, but I couldn’t compete with Jinhua. I just wanted to be down-to-earth, not to aim too high, to catch ghosts and reincarnate honestly, and to be a good ghost.

But now it seems that the performance is very good!

In two days of hard work, the two of them earned [-] sales, surpassing Wuxi.

Lian Xi couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "Why do ghosts in Wuxi have such low points? They are really vegetarians, and they don't want to make progress."

Jichen looked at the rankings of Guichai's performance rankings for the month with great satisfaction, and nodded slightly to express his agreement.

You see, the two of them were just about to seriously catch ghosts, and they got 2000 performance points this night, which is very easy.

Look at Wuxi ghosts again.

Alas, how could there be such an unprofessional ghost messenger in the underworld!

The two of them have completely forgotten where they stole their 2000-point performance from.

But how can ghosts be called stealing? They are all contributing to the construction of a harmonious world!

After eating the noodles, it was just dusk.

Lian Xi: "I'm going to the hospital. It's been a busy day and night. Why don't you go home first, and we'll go out to catch ghosts in the early morning?"

Suddenly becoming the second to last, Lian Xi was in a happy mood and was not in a hurry to save money.

Jichen seemed to be in a good mood: "Yes."

Helped President Xi take a taxi, and after confirming the location with the driver, Lian Xi sent Hei Wuchang away.He checked the time, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and the appointment with Dr. Wang was at 05:30, just in time.

Half an hour later, Sioux City Park Hospital, outpatient hall on the first floor.

The outpatient clinic of the hospital will suspend reception at 05 pm and close at 30 pm. At [-]:[-], there were not many patients and family members staying in the outpatient hall, and there were only a few lines standing at the door of the pharmacy, waiting in line to get the medicine.

The tall, thin and handsome young man held a bag of fruit in one hand and a bag of canned bird's nest in the other, and stood quietly waiting in the outpatient hall.

Five minutes later, the intern in a white coat got out of the elevator.

When Wang Zihao saw Lian Xi and the things in his hands from a distance, his perennial expression of "Don't be an old man" changed a little better, and he walked over: "A gift for Sister Qin?"

Lian Xi nodded.

The young intern smiled and said, "You are quite caring."

Lian Xi: "It's not easy to find a nurse from more than 20 years ago. Sister Qin has worked hard."

Wang Zihao pursed his lips: "Of course it's not easy. The information in our hospital has been cleared up every 20 years. Sister Qin spent a lot of effort to help you find someone..."

The door of the obstetrics and gynecology department was closed, and Wang Zihao took Lian Xi directly to the inpatient department.However, the two did not find Sister Qin.

Little nurse: "Sister Qin went to the emergency room, and suddenly two pregnant women came."

After the hospital closed, the only open clinic was the emergency department.

Wang Zihao: "Oh, then I'll go find her."

The two rushed to the emergency department again.

As soon as he entered the emergency room, a series of calls came to his ears.

In the bright and tidy emergency room, people are everywhere.There are people queuing up to pay the bills, some sitting on plastic stools, and doctors and nurses in a hurry.

There were two mobile stretchers leaning against the corner of the wall, a middle-aged man with a bloody head was sitting on one, and a woman was lying on the other, clutching her stomach and screaming.Both of them were anxiously waiting for the doctor to check the situation. Within a few seconds, a young doctor ran over. He had just checked the condition of the woman's stomach, when the middle-aged man beside him suddenly became unhappy: "My head is bleeding, you If you don’t show me, show her first.”

The doctor didn't even look back: "The others came first."

"Then I bleed!"

"You can go to the debridement room to get a stitch for your wound later. I've already called someone for you. There's nothing wrong with it."

The middle-aged man got up all of a sudden: "What do you mean, I don't care if I'm still bleeding?"

The young doctor frowned and was about to speak when suddenly a nurse ran over and pushed away the stretcher that the middle-aged man was sitting on just now.

Middle-aged man: "What are you doing!"

The nurse glared at him: "The ambulance is coming outside, your injury didn't hurt your leg, just stand!"

Middle-aged man: "What the fuck is your attitude, you still dare to stare at me?!"

The little nurse had already pushed the stretcher away.

Watching this scene, Wang Zihao scolded "Idiot" in a low voice with a cold face.

Lian Xi suddenly understood why this medical student from the same school had such a bad face all day long and didn't want to talk to anyone.

If you have to meet this kind of patient who puts himself first every day and is the biggest patient in the world, I am afraid that everyone will not be pleasant.

But such idiots are rare, and most of the patients who come to the emergency room are normal people.Those who were really serious were pushed into the emergency ward long ago, and those who were not serious were waiting outside.

Wang Zihao asked the nurse to inform Sister Qin, and the two stood outside.

After waiting for a few minutes, a pair of young girls hurried into the door, one of them covered his mouth with a strange expression.The other was sweating from anxiety, pulled a nurse and asked, "My friend's tongue was pierced, is there a doctor?"

The nurse was taken aback: "Is the tongue pierced?"

Girl: "Yes, when we went to eat seafood, her tongue was pierced by a lobster shell, and she bled a lot!"

Nurse: "There is no stomatology doctor here, so I'll go to the stomatology department and call you a doctor, just wait."

The nurse was about to leave when Wang Zihao said, "I'm doing an internship in the dental department this month."

The little nurse turned her head to look at him, and then looked at the name tag hanging around his neck: "Doctor Wang, please show me."

Wang Zihao walked over with a cold face and said to the girl who covered her mouth, "Open your mouth and let me see."

Lian Xi also looked at the girl curiously.

The girl has red eyes and opens her mouth.

Wang Zihao: "Stick out your tongue."

The girl obediently opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

Wang Zihao watched for a few seconds.

"It's okay, let's go home."

Two girls: "???"

Wang Zihao: "I said it's okay, go home."

One of the girls hesitated and said, "Doctor, are you okay? My friend is bleeding a lot, please prescribe some medicine."

Wang Zihao sneered: "Fortunately, you came early, and the wound should have healed in two minutes later."

Girls: "..."

The little nurse at the side and Lian Xi: "Pfft."

The two girls complained to each other as they walked.

"I said I couldn't see the wound. I showed it to you in the taxi that came. The wound is gone!"

"But I bleed a lot, Yuanyuan, you saw it too, I vomited a bowl!"

The cold-faced doctor said without a good air: "The tongue is one of the easiest organs in the human body to heal itself, and the saliva also has a disinfecting effect. It's a waste of time."

Lian Xi turned to look at the poisonous doctor, and asked, "What about biting your tongue and killing yourself?"

Wang Zihao: "Hehe, you're so stupid."

Lian Xi: "..."

This man is quite interesting.

After 10 minutes, Sister Qin finally finished her work and came over.She looked at the things in Lian Xi's hand, and smiled: "Just tell you the address and go find it yourself, and I came here specially."

Wang Zihao: "He wants to thank you in person."

Lian Xi was very tactful, and passed the things over: "I'm sorry, Miss Qin."

Sister Qin waved her hand: "It's all small things."

After successfully getting the old nurse's contact information from Sister Qin, Lian Xi bid farewell to Dr. Wang and Sister Qin, and took a taxi directly to find the old nurse.

According to Sister Qin, she asked several old colleagues, and finally confirmed that there were four nurses on duty on the day Lian Xi was born.The three had no impression of him at all, and only one named "Sister Hong" said that she still remembered him. If Lian Xi wanted to find her, Sister Qin could give Lian Xi her address.

Wang Zihao was a little surprised: "Every nurse has delivered so many babies, but she still remembers you? What happened when you were born?"

Lian Xi casually made up a reason: "My mother had a difficult labor at that time."

Wang Zihao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

On the way to the old nurse's house, Lian Xi called Sister Qin's number.

The phone beeped but no one answered.

Lian Xi felt strange. After taking a taxi to the entrance of the community, he got out of the car and asked someone for directions, and found the residential building where Sister Hong lived.

This is an old community built in the last century.

There are no elevators, and it's all six-story affordable housing.There are a lot of people in the community, and many uncles and aunts moved chairs and sat on the side of the road to enjoy the cool and chat.Obviously, most of the residents in this community are the same age as it, and they are all retirees.

There is an empty small square in the center of the community, and a deafening song "Dancing Girl" is playing noisily.Dozens of grandpas and aunts, wearing uniform white exercise clothes and holding big red dancing fans, danced square dance in unison.

Lian Xi covered her ears and went downstairs to Miss Hong's, climbed upstairs and knocked on the door.However, he knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door.

"Is anyone home?"

No one responded.

The music from the square dance downstairs made people's heads ache. Lian Xi frowned and waited for another 10 minutes.

Looks like no one is home.

Sighing, Lian Xi turned around and was about to leave.As soon as he went downstairs, suddenly, his eyes met with an old lady wearing exercise clothes and holding a red dancing fan at the stairs.

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, and turned sideways to let the other party go first.

The old lady walked past him and went upstairs.

Just when Lian Xi continued to go downstairs, the old lady turned her head and said, "Hey young man, what were you doing standing in front of my house just now?"

Lian Xi turned around abruptly: "Sister Hong?"

The old lady's eyes lit up: "You recognize me? Who are you?"

***

After entering the room, Sister Hong poured Lian Xi a cup of hot tea.

Sister Hong smiled: "You are Xiao Lian, don't call me Sister Hong, Xiaoqin and others call me sister, I am the same age as your grandfather, what is your name, sister, grandma."

Lian Xi: "..."

I'd better call you sister.

But he was keenly aware of one thing: "You know my grandfather?"

Sister Hong smiled: "That's not true, otherwise why would I ask someone to give you my address. I and your grandfather are fellow villagers, and we went to the same elementary school back then." Recalling the past decades ago, my hair was gray The old lady didn't look old at all, but she was full of energy: "At that time, your grandfather was the only one in the class who had a bicycle at home. He was really rich."

It's a pity that my grandfather's family soon fell into poverty, and he was so poor that he thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, this sister Hong was still an old friend of Grandpa, and Lian Xi suddenly relaxed a lot.No wonder Miss Hong remembered him and gave him a bell.Lian Xi: "I just want to ask, I have always had a bell, my dad said you gave it to me when I was born, I wonder if you still remember?"

Sister Hong froze for a moment: "Bell?"

Lian Xi raised his left hand and shook his wrist lightly.The simple and elegant bronze bell shook slightly in the air, but made no sound. "It's the bell, do you remember?"

Sister Hong's expression suddenly became weird.The old lady looked at Lian Xi with strange eyes. After a while, she stood up and ran to get an old book from the bookshelf in the living room.

"It's been more than 20 years, I almost forgot about it, you've grown up so much."

Lian Xi sat up straight: "Do you still remember?"

"I remember, why don't I remember. Xiao Lian, have you read this book?"

Lian Xi lowered his head and glanced, it was "A Dream of Red Mansions". "Seen."

Sister Hong: "I read this book when I was young, and I read it again this year. It's hard to understand. But when I saw it, I thought of you. You know Jia Baoyu, right?"

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in Lian Xi's heart: "I know..."

Sister Hong said with emotion: "Back then I told your grandfather that Jia Baoyu was born as a jade, so he was called Jia Baoyu. Your grandfather named you, what was it? You said you were born holding a bell, I think you should be called Lian Lingdang!"

Lian Xi: "?!"

I was born with a bell?

What does it mean I was born holding a bell?

... No, wait, what the hell is the bell!

The author has something to say:

Wuxi Guicha: Why is my performance not good? Don’t you guys have a B number in mind?ah!

CC: I feel like my worldview has been shaken...

Mr. Xi: Bell~

CC: ? ? ?

Mr. Xi: Little bell poof.
