Whoosh!
He was surrounded by anxious nurses and patients who kept coming back and forth. No one saw Xu Zhi.
He walked in the former Beijing Oncology Hospital. Previously, he had spent a lot of money in this hospital for treatment. Xu Zhi recalled many memories.
"I wonder if those patients are still around?" His expression flickered.
Rustling sounds came into his ears.
"Doctor, how's my son's illness?"
"We still have money at home. Don't worry about the treatment …"
…
Thousands of sounds from the entire building poured into his mind. They were quickly filtered by his huge magic core brain. As a god who transcended the human world, he did not feel the slightest sense of neurosis.
Conversations, consultations, anxiety, roars, pain, and all kinds of other sounds came. The huge hospital was a social place that existed between life and death. It could best reflect the various aspects of life.
Xu Zhi walked past one sickroom after another, and he suddenly saw a familiar nurse.
"Nurse Zhang?" Xu Zhi called out.
"You are … Xu … Xu Zhi?" The nurse was stunned. She recalled for a long time and turned around to look at him. His body became more haggard and his hair thinned. A trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes. "I haven't seen you for three months. Are you here for a follow-up? Just came out from Professor Li's place? "
Xu Zhi did not refute.
"What's the result? That … "The nurse suddenly stopped asking. She looked in the direction Xu Zhi was heading." Are you here to see Old Li and the others? Old Li is the only one left in that ward now. "
Xu Zhi said goodbye to the nurse and stepped into the corner of the stairs. He came to the once familiar ward and pushed the door open. Most of the faces were new, but their expressions were still blank, desperate, and dull.
There was a familiar person sitting by the window.
An elegant and calm middle-aged man in a hospital gown was lying on the bed. His face was pale and his hair was shaved. He lowered his head and played with his tablet. He heard movement at the door and suddenly turned his head.
"Xu Zhi?"
He was startled and said, "I haven't seen you for three months. You have aged a lot. Are you still alive? "
"It's me." Xu Zhi sat by the bed and put the fruit on the table.
"Are you here to revisit the old place? The others have already left. I'm the only one in the ward. " Clearly, this wasn't his first time. "Xiao Chen, the one in the next bed, is only twenty-one years old. Half a month after you left, he suddenly couldn't take it anymore and passed away … His parents spent all their money but failed to cure him. During those few days, he cried a lot."
His expression was very calm.
"Uncle Qiang ran out of money and went home to recuperate. He said he wouldn't be receiving treatment … Little Cheng, on the other hand, comes from a wealthy family, but he can't afford to stay in the hospital and doesn't want to. He'll go home when his condition improves and come back for chemotherapy … He came to see me in the ward yesterday after chemotherapy, just like you … If you want to see him, ask the doctors and nurses. You might be able to find out when he comes to the hospital."
The middle-aged man sat up on the bed and explained the situation to Xu Zhi. It was obvious that he was experienced in handling affairs.
Faced with this kind of situation, it was clearly not the first time he, who had been hospitalized for several years, came to the ward to look for a fellow patient. Even Xu Zhi was just a small wave during his stay in the hospital. He had seen too many patients in different wards, and they had been separated by life and death.
More than half of his fellow patients had left, but he still stayed in the ward. His family conditions weren't bad. This big brother from the south came to the capital for treatment. He was a senior member of society and also a small boss with a net worth of tens of millions. He owned a bar and KTV.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford to stay in a single ward, but he liked to find people to chat with. He was a special person. At that time, he even helped Xu Zhi contact a doctor and sponsored some money.
Xu Zhi lowered his head. He just felt that it was interesting.
Three months was really not enough to change the reality.
He looked at his computer. He was actually looking at the Spore Evolution forum. It was a big movie made by the group of netizens.
The man chuckled, his face full of longing. "Have you seen Spore Evolution? It's very popular recently. Look at the history of the mythical civilization in it. This thing is quite fresh! When I think about it, it feels too real. In the universe, our Earth can't be the only civilization, right? That's too ridiculous.
The universe is so big. There should be countless possibilities. It might even be those ancient gods and Buddhas. It's really physics and chemistry. It's wonderful. "
Xu Zhi just listened.
"I haven't seen you for a while. I feel a lot."
He continued, "After all, I really don't have long to live. When I was young, I committed too many sins. It's time to pay them back. I don't have a wife or children. It's good to die … Oh right, how's the treatment going? Young man, it's quite a pity that you died. The girlfriend who worked with you also ran away! Didn't you go back to your hometown to spend the rest of your life? The ticket back to the capital isn't cheap. "
"…"
The expressions of the surrounding patients changed slightly. How could he poke at someone's scars like this?
They pretended not to hear it. It was as if they already knew this person's character these days.
Xu Zhi didn't mind. He sat down and said, "Recently, no one came to find you?"
"There was one this morning. To be honest, some people these days are quite heartless."
His gaze was a little complicated. He raised his head and said, "For more than twenty years, I've sponsored so much money for their studies. It should be more than a hundred. Ninety-nine percent of them didn't come to see me. They thought that sponsoring their studies was a matter of course. I've finally seen the true colors of those people. The world is cold, but I still have to help. I don't have a wife or children.
The other patients around him secretly admired him.
This Li Li was an honest person. He was a carefree Cantonese boss. He was a good person.
"You asked me why I didn't go back to the big villa in Cantonese? It's so good here. It's like a group apartment. There are nurses in the ward, and there are people to chat with. Everyone is talented and speaks well.
If you ask me, we're in the same ward. We've helped a lot of people in our ward, including you. Young people can still struggle for their lives. Xiao Chen, 21 years old, why didn't you help? That person isn't a good person. His parents aren't good people either. It's retribution! They themselves know it's retribution. They cried miserably. I was still laughing at the side. The couple picked up a pillow and threw it at me … "
Pfft!!
A patient who had just been admitted to the hospital was drinking water and instantly choked.
"What are you laughing at? Tell me, in this society, many people don't know how to repay kindness, right?!" Old Li looked at the surrounding beds and asked for advice with a serious face.
The patients did not dare to make a sound.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Someone agreed.
"The world is cold. Not a single person knows how to repay kindness."
Old Li continued, "On the contrary, in my early years, when I had just graduated from university, I was full of enthusiasm to start a business. I brought a group of girls. Don't look down on them just because I brought them to do the flesh business. Everyone looked down on them and called them cheap … But after more than 20 years, they're all as old as me. They all traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to see me. Just yesterday, seven or eight of them surrounded the ward. The patients who didn't know about it all thought that I had good luck with women."
The patients at the side were completely shocked!
Wasn't he talking about them?
So you're not a good person either. You did such a wicked business. You even scolded him before. Now that he's dead, you're laughing?
What a scumbag you are.
Also, the group of girls that I brought to sell came all the way to Beijing to see me after more than 20 years?
But they gave me fruits and vegetables with a peaceful face. Some of them even choked and cried. They saw it too. Their expressions could not be faked.
What kind of situation was this?
This was a person with a story.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen pimps selling meat for money? Doing charity every year? "
Old Li glared at them. "You youngsters are too inexperienced. And you, don't think that you've seen a lot of people just because you're a taxi driver! Don't think that I'm careless. This is just a disguise. I've killed many people.
Besides, those women came to see me yesterday. They're all experienced people. Do you think their expressions are really on their faces?
In fact, when I saw them enter the ward, I cried miserably in my heart. They were laughing in their hearts. Didn't they see me chase them away with a pillow? Before they left, they were still crying and saying that I'm a good person. They're so good at pretending! "
"…"
The patients at the side of the bed were stunned again.
The world was big and full of strange things.
Until now, no one knew if what he said was true or false.
This was an old thousand-layer cake. But everyone still respected him. They respected this maverick, weather-beaten man who had experienced many legendary stories in his life.
Xu Zhi only expressed his condolences and listened to his careless talk. After waiting for a while, he left.
He went around the hospital again, passing by each ward. After a careful selection, he finally decided on the candidate.
Other than those who were talented, Xu Zhi did not consider them as young people. After all, in their twenties, compared to the long supernatural world, they were like infants. Only those with deep experience could make a name for themselves in that world.
