Erosion

Chapter 21 Showdown

At night, head nurse Zhang Wanqiu appeared.

As if nothing happened, she brought Jiang Shan dinner as usual, and the smile at the corner of her mouth looked the same as before, as if she wasn't the one who ran away in panic because of a "dust" on the bottom of her feet.

"Sorry, I have something to do in the afternoon. How are you? Are you feeling well?"

Jiang Shan paid attention to the soles of head nurse Zhang's shoes, which were as clean as usual without any "dust".

"pretty good."

It's just that Jiang Shan looked at the food on the dinner plate. A piece of clean corn was placed on a white plate, with a cup of the same white hot milk beside it.

Every night is corn and hot milk, while breakfast is salad and soy milk, and lunch is stir-fried vegetables and rice.

The order is the same every day, and the three meals are the same, which seems to be strengthening the concept of early, middle and late.

Zhang Wanqiu asked: "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"

Jiang Shan looked at the dinner plate in front of him, no matter how delicious the food was, he ate it every day, but now it was tasteless.

Jiang Shan said, "Can you tell me what month and date it is?"

Jiang Shan finally asked the third question in this hospital.

Zhang Wanqiu looked at Jiang Shan, and Jiang Shan glanced over at the same time: "How long will I stay in this hospital?"

Zhang Wanqiu thought that Jiang Shan didn't care about these issues, otherwise he should have asked on the first day, "After we have fully checked your body, we will have further plans..."

Jiang Shan decided not to play charades, and said directly: "I have a tumor in my brain, and the doctor said I won't live for two months."

Zhang Wanqiu kept silent.

Jiang Shan looked at her: "So, why am I still alive?"

Why is she still alive?

No matter how many days she has lived in this windowless hospital day and night, plus the days in the barren hills, she definitely lived for more than two months.

And she showed no signs of dying at all, and she was living more and more vigorously.

Such a question, since she is a patient, is perfectly normal to ask the medical staff in front of her.

But in front of Zhang Wanqiu, she obviously couldn't answer, she choked, and facing the straightforward Jiang Shan, all her words were somewhat useless.

Seeing Zhang Wanqiu's chest rising and falling, Jiang Shan seemed to have secretly adjusted her breathing several times, and finally said to Jiang Shan: "There are still some inspection items that have not been done, so...so, I don't know what happened to you."

Jiang Shan didn't ask questions about when she would be discharged from the hospital because she had no relatives in the world and was terminally ill. For her, living in the hospital with food and drink was much better than sleeping outside on the streets.

However, the weirdness that gradually emerged made Jiang Shan unable to pretend to be invisible anymore.

She was indeed dying soon, but she also wanted to die well, but she didn't want to be treated as some kind of human experiment for no apparent reason.

That would be a bit miserable.

"Where's Wei Yuan?" The milk and corn in front of Jiang Shan were already cold, "Who is he, why did he send me here?"

Does Wei Yuan have the right to make decisions about her life?

Hearing Wei Yuan's name, Zhang Wanqiu's expression became complicated: "Even if he doesn't do this, you will be sent here."

The implication is that Wei Yuan can't make a decision.

Jiang Shan looked at Zhang Wanqiu, so whether this is an ordinary hospital after all, and whether Zhang Wanqiu is an ordinary "head nurse".

"I want to see him." Jiang Shan said.

Compared with Zhang Wanqiu and this weird hospital, Jiang Shan was obviously more willing to talk to Wei Yuan and his group, at least it was Wei Yuan who brought her down from the barren mountain.

Although I just left the tiger's den, I turned around and was sent to a place where I don't know if it is a "wolf's den".

Zhang Wanqiu's answer was also expected: "No."

Jiang Shan: "..." Even patients have basic human rights, so why not?

Zhang Wanqiu said: "Until the agreed time, you can only stay here and belong here."

Faced with Jiang Shan who had a showdown, head nurse Zhang obviously also had a showdown.

Jiang Shanhou leaned her back against the soft pillow, but she felt like a light was on her back. These words seemed to say that she was meat on the chopping board, and there was still a deadline.

"What right do you have to do this?" Detainee, this is the power of the judiciary, right?
How can a hospital have the confidence to say so bluntly that Jiang Shan only belongs here now.

Jiang Shan is an orphan, but he is also a citizen with a legitimate ID card protected by law.

Zhang Wanqiu's expression on Jiang Shan made Jiang Shan feel uncomfortable, that look seemed to be looking at a very innocent and funny person, but Zhang Wanqiu just warned: "Eat well, too much mood swings will also affect your health."

Like a matron who really cares about people.

Jiang Shan: "..." For the first time in her life, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.Not because of illness, but because of anger.

Jiang Shan thought he had given up his emotions and desires, but it turned out he hadn't.

Zhang Wanqiu gestured for the cold "dinner", stood by the bed and looked at Jiang Shan, obviously determined to watch Jiang Shan finish eating.

Looking at the milk and corn in front of him, Jiang Shan found it hard to swallow for the first time.

The food was not poisonous, and apparently it wasn't.

But at any time, something that is forced to swallow will change its taste.

Jiang Shan picked up the glass of milk, and she realized that even what she drank had to be black and white here, absolutely "clean" and "white".

Seeing that Jiang Shan drank the milk, she gnawed half of the corn and threw it aside.

This is Jiang Shan's first time wasting food.

But Zhang Wanqiu still "let go" of Jiang Shan, she picked up the empty cup and the rest of the dinner plate, and left the ward.

Before leaving, she turned off the light on the wall and said to Jiang Shan, "Good night."

The inside of the house was darker than the basement of the orphanage, not even a ray of light could be seen, no matter how much Jiang Shan blinked, he couldn't catch a gleam of light in the darkness.

In less than 10 minutes, a huge drowsiness rushed towards Jiang Shan, the turbulence was like a beast, and there was no way to resist it.

Jiang Shan knew this was the result, so he gave up resisting and sank into a dark dream.

But this time was different, Jiang Shan woke up in the middle of the night.

She clearly felt that she was awake, but she found that her eyes were still closed, and she opened them hard, and found that she seemed unable to control her eyelids.

Not only the eyelids, she found that her body was out of her control.

This feeling is as if only the consciousness has woken up all over the body, while your body is still sleeping.

What was even more frightening was that Jiang Shan found someone touching her body.

Even gradually, she heard voices...

There were people standing by her bed, and more than one.

Someone lifted up her sleeve, and something cool was rubbed on the skin of her arm, "The blood vessels are so thin..."

Jiang Shan heard this sentence clearly in his ears, it was a man, and it was a voice that Jiang Shan had never heard before.

After that, Jiang Shan felt that the top of the arm was tightly wrapped around it, which was the "tourniquet" that stretched out the blood vessels around the arm before each injection.
