Chapter 309 Grandma Night
"Where is this?"
In the dim room, a figure sat up.
Sitting up suddenly made him feel a little dizzy. The figure raised his hands and hugged his head. After a long time, the dizziness disappeared.
He looked at his hands in confusion. There were some bruises on his sickly white hands.
He just stared at his palm for a long time.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked around. The dim firelight swayed in the air, and he could barely see the layout of the room. There was a chair beside his bed and a table near the wall. There were some stacked papers and some bandages on the table. Apart from that, there was nothing in the room, it was empty.
He raised his nose and sniffed, the fragrance of herbs filled his nostrils. He looked towards the door in surprise. He seemed to be in a ward?
"squeak"
The wooden door was gently pushed open by a foot, and a pretty girl with two pigtails walked in from outside the door. She was holding a wooden bucket in both hands and a towel hung on her shoulder.
She raised her head with force and said "Hey, hey," and walked step by step to the side of the figure.
"call."
After a while, Mu Qiuhe moved the wooden barrel to the side of the bed. She raised her body, rubbed her aching waist, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I should have stopped carrying it manually. It's so tiring."
Just as he calmed down, Mu Qiuhe's eyes met the eyes of the person sitting on the hospital bed.
Dark eyes met hers.
"Ah~!"
Mu Qiuhe dodged and retreated two meters. She stood on one leg and waved her hands in the air.
"What are you doing, little thief!"
After a moment, Mu Qiuhe was amused by her own actions. After observing for a period of time, she also confirmed that the person on the bed was not someone else, but a patient who had woken up.
Mu Qiuhe threw the braid that had fallen on her shoulders behind her, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong? You didn't even tell me you woke up, and you still want to scare me."
Although she was complaining, Mu Qiuhe still moved closer to the bed, placed the bucket beside the bed, and sat on the chair herself.
She threw the towel on her shoulders into the wooden barrel to wet it, then picked up the towel and wrung out the water. When she was about to wipe his body, she suddenly thought of a question.
If the patient wakes up on his own and is able to move around, does that mean I don’t have to do this work myself?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I were to wipe his body now?
Mu Qiuhe raised her eyes and met the eyes of the patient who was still in a daze. Her dark pupils blinked, and she seemed to come back to her senses.
Mu Qiuhe's cheeks turned red instantly, and she raised her hands and waved them in the air.
His tone became sharp: "No...no...don't think too much. I...I...just...want to wipe your body."
"Taking care of... a sick... a patient... is like this."
As the saying goes, explanation is concealment. After Mu Qiuhe's series of operations, the patient who was originally in a daze showed a strange expression.
Being stared at with that expression, Mu Qiuhe felt even more uncomfortable, but at this moment she could no longer organize her words. Her words became more and more stuttering, so that in the end people could not tell what she was saying.
After saying a few words with difficulty, Mu Qiuhe collapsed on the chair like a deflated ball.
"I'm tired. Let's destroy it. He saw all the embarrassment I made."
"patient?"
"Patient? What's that?"
He seemed like he hadn't spoken for a long time. His voice was extremely hoarse and the tone of his voice was particularly strange, just like when he was a child who had just learned to speak.
He looked at Mu Qiuhe's face with clear eyes, "What... are you talking about?"
He was obviously stunned when he heard his own words, his eyes full of confusion, "What am I talking about?"
"what is this?"
He was like a broken typewriter. The program was still running, but no new words were produced. It was just a useless repetition.
……
In a village not far away, Yu walked leisurely towards a house. The house was not big and had a small courtyard. In the courtyard grew a huge locust tree. With the arrival of spring, new buds grew on the locust tree. Under the shade of the locust tree, there was a recliner that kept shaking. On the recliner lay an elderly woman, her face full of traces of time. At this moment, she was closing her eyes, lazily enjoying the coolness in the shade of the tree.
Yu walked towards there step by step. When he reached the outside of the fence, he still did not speak, but quietly stepped over the fence and broke into the yard.
As soon as I stepped one foot in, an old voice sounded from not far away.
"Who is it? You come to the old lady's house without even saying hello."
Yu still didn't say anything.
The recliner was still shaking, but the old woman on the recliner narrowed her eyes, glanced at the intruder, and then closed her eyes again.
"It's you, Yu."
"Why are you becoming more and more rude? You don't even know how to say hello to the old lady."
Hearing the old man's words, Yu smiled and stepped his other leg into the yard.
"Grandma Ye, I was walking at night recently and got blinded. I couldn't see where you were."
"I thought you were in your room and was going to surprise you in your room."
Hearing Yu's words, Grandma Ye slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yu with her cloudy eyes, and nodded.
"Is that so? Then you better be careful when walking at night."
"Why don't you just do what my mother-in-law does and not go out at night?"
"There have been more wolf howling in the mountains recently, making it even more dangerous to walk at night."
Yu smiled and nodded, but did not respond to Grandma Ye's words. Instead, he said something else.
"Grandma Ye, can I borrow your book?"
"Books, sure."
Grandma Ye stood up from the rocking chair, picked up the crutch beside the rocking chair, bent over and walked towards the house step by step.
Grandma Ye gently pushed open the old wooden door. She stood beside the door and looked at Yu who was still standing there. A smile appeared on her old face. "Come on, the books are inside."
It was pitch black inside the wooden door. I don't know if it was due to the structure of the house or other reasons, but not a single ray of light could penetrate into the room. Even from a distance, I could feel the chill hidden within. It was as if a wild beast was hiding in the dark house, greedily waiting for me to enter.
Yu's smile remained, but his eyes narrowed into slits. He moved forward step by step. The closer he got to Grandma Ye, the faster his heart beat, and the biting coldness got closer and closer to his body.
Just like that, Yu walked step by step to Grandma Ye's side. When he was only one step away from the wooden door, he stopped. He turned his head and looked into Grandma Ye's eyes. There was a smile on his old face, which made people feel a little creepy.
A gleam of light flashed in his gray eyes.
"It seems interesting."
He ignored the warning in his heart, lifted his right leg, and strode into the dead silence.
