Above the nine springs, people rob the earth and the spirit

Jiuquan County Psychiatric Sanatorium is located in the easternmost part. It is considered a development zone and has never been crowded. There is a large stadium. When she was in junior high school, she came here to watch several sports competitions held by middle schools. Of course, it was just that one time. , then the school was in financial crisis and could no longer afford it.

The mental hospital is further east of the stadium. There is a circle of woods around it, all of which are fast-growing poplars. It is also the season for flying poplar catkins. The poplar catkins of the fast-growing poplar trees are more numerous and larger than those of the native poplar trees, and they are flying all over the sky. The poplar catkins are flying like heavy snow, making it difficult to open your eyes and breathe.

The new mother was forced to pull the car to the side of the road, touched the basket of the front seat, pulled out a mask, and handed it to Bai Tianqing behind her.

Bai Tianqing looked at her and said, "Wear it, I have one in my schoolbag, I'll look for it."

She did not throw away the mask given by the teacher.

The new mother didn't force it. She put on the mask herself and found a pair of old and worn sunglasses. These sunglasses seemed to be ineffective sunglasses like those from the dollar store, but in a place like this where poplars were flying, they could indeed block the eyes. obscured.

Bai Tianqing doesn't need this. She doesn't ride a bicycle, and she can't bear it. Just close her eyes.

The tricycle restarted and after turning a corner, the building of the mental hospital came into view.

The door was open, but a security guard saw them, stopped them, and asked, "What are you here for?"

"Let's see the patient."

"Register."

The new mother was quickly registered.

The door opened and they drove all the way to the outpatient department and stopped.

Bai Tianqing observed the hospital.

The hospital is not new, it must have been there for a long time, but it looks very high-end.

At least compared to the county hospital, this place looks much higher-end than the county hospital.

Is there a... colder sense of technology? But in fact, there is no design, it just gives people a colder feeling.

Maybe it's because there's no one here, it's so empty, and there's an echo when you walk in.

After walking in, there was a nurse on duty sitting at the front desk.

The nurse had an expressionless face and looked particularly cold.

Seeing people coming, the nurse pointed at the registration form.

"Please register to see a patient. You can make an appointment at the self-serve next door. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

The new mother looked at the watch and said, "I'm here to visit the patient, but we don't know the patient's bed number. She just came yesterday because her husband died at your place. Let me take a look."

The nurse raised her eyes and said, "Oh, you are talking about that patient. She is on the fourth floor, and her daughter is accompanying her. What is your relationship with her?"

"Neighbor, live next door."

The nurse nodded and said, "Go up."

The new mother took Bai Tianqing towards the elevator.

Bai Tianqing looked back at the nurse.

The nurse still sat there in a daze with an expressionless face, like a heartless robot.

Feeling Bai Tianqing's gaze, the nurse turned her head and looked over.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Qing felt again that the nurse's eyes were really cold.

There is no difference in the way he looks at everything around him, as cold as this hospital. Bai Tianqing looked away and found that the hospital was really eerily quiet, with no other doctors or nurses in sight.

When we got to the fourth floor, there were not many people in the ward.

Of course, it is actually normal. In a small county town, the population is not large. Even if there is mental illness, people's living standards do not support sending their relatives to a mental hospital. They usually just take them to get some medicine, unless it is very serious. That kind of disease is extremely aggressive, and no one has been able to stop it.

Speaking of which, there seemed to be an old man in their community who was said to have Alzheimer's disease. No one knew him, and everyone thought he was a monster. He would yell and kill, and he would carry a knife every day and stab everyone he saw.

But that uncle is really very powerful in combat. It is said that he was a warrior when he was young.

Later, the uncle said that he was sent to a mental hospital, but that happened when Bai Qing was very young, and he doesn't even know if he is still alive now.

In short, it is easy to understand that this mental hospital is deserted, but what is puzzling is that in such a small place, why should we open such a large mental hospital when we know that there cannot be so many mental patients?

Whether public or private, it is unreasonable.

"Mom, I really don't understand! What on earth do you want to do? He is already dead! Isn't that bad?!"

Before she even reached Zhang Xiaoling's mother's ward, she heard Zhang Xiaoling's cry of collapse.

Bai Tianqing and the new mother stopped at the same time.

The hateful voice of Zhang Xiaoling's mother came from inside: "What did you say? That was your father! If it weren't for you, how could he die? It's because of you! You killed your father! How could I have such an unfilial daughter like you!" "

Zhang Xiaoling's voice was sharp: "What do you mean I killed him? The doctor said he got up in the middle of the night, ran to the toilet, and killed himself with a fork! He was just sick. He used to beat you and me, but now he even hurts himself Don’t let him go! This kind of person deserves to die! The police said he committed suicide! There is surveillance!"

"It's impossible for your father to commit suicide! He was killed by a doctor. You still leave me here. Do you want me to die too?!"

"When did I want you to die? Don't you want to commit suicide by jumping off the building? I can't ask the doctor to give you a sedative first and let you rest here? Don't I have to deal with his funeral and arrange family affairs?"

"Then just let me die! Don't stop me!"

"I have to stop you, otherwise I won't have a mother!" Zhang Xiaoling's voice broke, and everyone could hear her despair and pain.

But Zhang Xiaoling's mother didn't listen at all, as if she had been possessed by a poison.

"You don't even care about your father anyway, so you still care about me?"

Zhang Xiaoling couldn't listen anymore, turned around and walked out of the room.

Then she faced Bai Bai and Qing, and subconsciously turned her head and wiped her tears, but how could she calm down her excitement in a short while?

"Aunt Bai, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaoling choked with sobs.

"Come to see you. There's such a big thing happening in your family. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it," the new mother said.

Zhang Xiaoling cried uncontrollably. She really didn't understand why her mother became like this.

Bai Tianqing sighed slightly next to her, and helped the new mother to sit down in the ward next to her.

"I'm going to find a nurse and ask for some water," Bai Tianqing said.

The new mother nodded and softly comforted Zhang Xiaoling, her expression and movements were so familiar.

Bai Tian's green eyes trembled slightly and he turned around to find the nurse.

Are there no nurses on duty at the nurse desk?

No wonder Zhang Xiaoling’s father’s suicide was not seen.

"Okay, Officer Chen, we will pay more attention..." a voice came from the stairs.

Bai Tianqing looked around and saw several doctors, nurses and police officers coming up.
