Li Huowang was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the ward by his mother, Sun Xiaoqin. His hands, which were as thin as chicken claws, were handcuffed to the handles of the wheelchair with silver handcuffs.
Li Huowang himself was also surprised that he was not wearing a double bondage when he went out. It seemed that they also thought that his illness was cured.
"Just come out for a walk and get some fresh air. There's no need for so many guards, right?" Li Huowang looked at the four tall and rough prison guards beside him and said.
"Hey, let them follow as long as they are told. It's a hard order from above. It's not easy for Xiao Liu and the others, so don't make it difficult for them."
Hearing his mother's words, Li Huowang smiled slightly and started calling others by nicknames. It seemed that his mother was very familiar with the people in this area.
"Son, it's raining outside today, so we won't go out to bask in the sun. Let's take a walk indoors."
"Oh, okay."
Soon Li Huowang was pushed through, and after turning a few corners, he came to a relatively large space.
Some patients wearing the same blue and white stripes as Li Huowang were looking up at the TV hanging on the wall.
It is said that a long-term illness makes a good doctor. Although mental illness cannot make a good doctor, Li Huowang can still roughly tell what diseases these patients have at a glance.
Those who talk nonsense, or those who think clearly but can't stop talking. These two types are most likely to be schizophrenia, which is also the type of mental illness that the public is most familiar with.
This type accounts for a large part. It seems that the family does not care and is caught wandering on the street and is sent to the public hospital.
If you are taciturn and do not interact with others, and you look very introverted, you are probably suffering from depression.
He is particularly energetic and keeps his mood high all the time. He should be hypomanic.
As for those who seem a little confused, have a dull expression, and have dull eyes, it is probably because they were given medicine by the nurse and the effects of the medicine have not worn off.
Naturally, there are some who behave normally. As for whether they are almost cured, whether they are anorexic and overeating, pretending to be normal, or have some other disease, only they themselves know.
Seeing these people, Li Huowang felt that this place was not bad, and there were no manic patients who beat and cursed people for no reason.
It is also possible that this kind of person was forcibly imprisoned just like his past self. Those who can be released to watch TV will have relatively stable symptoms.
These categories are the majority in mental hospitals. As for other rare species, he is not a doctor after all, so he doesn’t know them.
But soon, Li Huowang discovered that these people were no longer watching TV. Instead, they turned their heads and looked at him with wide eyes, as if his face was much prettier than the programs on TV.
Looking at the people in the room paying attention to him, Li Huowang asked with some confusion: "Why are they all looking at me like this?"
The prison guard named Xiao Liu next to him said: "Xiao Li, you are one of the top figures in the White Tower Ward. Not to mention that they know each other, there is no one in the fifteen jails in the prison who has never heard of you.
The famous name."
"So I'm so famous?" Li Huowang said with some surprise.
"More than that, the popularity has cooled down now. When you broke into the university town to save your girlfriend, it was number one in the hot search list every day. Otherwise, why do you think the warden was so convenient to you?"<
/p>
After Li Huowang heard this, he finally understood his position in the hearts of these people.
Then he saw that there seemed to be an invisible circle around him, and no mentally ill person dared to approach within ten meters.
"Mom, just stop here. I'll watch TV for a while. I haven't watched TV for a long time." Li Huowang looked up at the noon news in front of him.
The boring scenes in the past seemed so novel in Li Huowang's eyes now.
"Hello, audience friends, today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, a small year. The so-called 23rd day is for worshiping the kitchen official; the 24th day is for cleaning the house. Nowadays, people in various provinces and places..."
"Is it celebrating the New Year again?" Li Huowang suddenly felt like traveling through time and space. For a long time, he had no concept of time at all.
"Yes, it's the Chinese New Year and you're one year older. Son, what do you want to eat during the Chinese New Year? Just tell me and I'll make it for you."
"I heard that there is a game that is very popular recently. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will give you New Year's money and you can buy it and play it."
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore." Li Huowang said helplessly.
"How old are you? You are only eighteen. Legally, you are an adult, but you are just a young boy."
Time passed slowly amid Sun Xiaoqin's chatter and the festive background music of the news.
Li Huowang likes this peaceful feeling. He likes this kind of peaceful life. It is best to maintain this kind of life until the moment he dies of old age.
Under this quiet and peaceful illusion, all the things I have experienced before seem like a dream.
"Mom, where is Dr. Yi? Why haven't I seen him recently?"
"He, I heard that he doesn't have time to go to work. He said he was writing some paper."
"What paper did he, a neurologist, suddenly publish?"
"Mom doesn't know. Mom doesn't understand this, but I heard from Sister Ma in the cafeteria that there are people from the TV station coming to interview him. He should be on TV."
"Really? Congratulations to Dr. Yi."
"Yes, yes, there are not many people who are as responsible as Dr. Yi. Also, I heard that he is in his thirties and has not found a wife yet."
"How damn anxious are you talking about? If you still haven't found a wife so late in the future, I'll be really anxious to death," Sun Xiaoqin said empathetically.
Li Huowang wanted to scratch his head when he heard this. Are all middle-aged women so well-informed about gossip? Even Dr. Yi knows that he is not married.
"Sister Sun, what are you saying? In today's society, it has long been common for people in their thirties not to get married." The prison guard on the side couldn't help but interjected.
It can be seen that Li Huowang's condition is gradually stabilizing, which makes these people feel much more relaxed, and they can still talk nonsense to Sun Xiaoqin.
"Hey, you young people are just thinking about it. Marrying early has the advantage of getting married early. If you get married early, your parents can help you take care of it. If a woman gives birth to a child early, confinement will not easily cause the disease."
"It's not that we don't want to get married, but we are already in our twenties as soon as we leave school. We have no money in our pockets, no car, and no house. Who will marry us? Besides, we only have fifteen days off for our jobs in the prison.
How can I find it for fifteen days? When I heard that I could only see him half a year, I ran away."
"Oh, you are all worried about not being able to find a wife because you have a stable job, so don't those working outside have to live?"
Soon another single prison guard joined the debate, but Sun Xiaoqin became more energetic and became more courageous as he fought, facing the two men without losing any of them.
Seeing his strong mother coming back, Li Huowang raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He still liked to see such a energetic Sun Xiaoqin.
Just when he saw that the debate competition was about to enter its most critical moment, Li Huowang suddenly felt his scalp numb and turned his head to look at the corridor on the left in the distance.
