"Where are we going?"
Li Huowang, who was handcuffed and shackled, was accompanied by a nurse and followed Yi Donglai as he walked along the bright corridor.
Yi Dong replied without looking back. "It's a good place. You'll know it when you come."
Because it had been some time since he had been admitted to the hospital, Li Huowang's broken hair had grown so long that it almost covered his eyes.
Through his bangs, Li Huowang quietly looked at the back of Yi Donglai's head. "What kind of command can this guy be?"
"He should be our commander, right? But if he is really our commander, then why doesn't he help me escape?"
Under Li Huowang's random guess, they stopped in front of a treatment room.
The nurses were guarding the door, and Li Huowang followed Yi Donglai in.
This place is very simple. Apart from a few stools, a sand table, and cabinets filled with various odds and ends, there is nothing else.
"Wait, sandbox?"
Li Huowang looked not far away. There was a square table the size of a mahjong table. The southeast and northwest were blocked by a blue wooden board on the inside, and the inside of the table was filled with yellow ordinary fine sand.
Li Huowang looked at the table, then ran to the cabinet and saw all kinds of strange small models scaled down on it.
Looking at those miniature humanoids, animals, trees, flowers, cars, boats, flying objects, stones, and monsters, a hint of understanding appeared on his face.
"Ah~ I understand. You want to play a small game for me, right? You want me to place items in the sandbox, so that I can show my inner world without reservation?"
"You know it very well, Li Huowang. Since you know so much, I won't introduce you. You can start." Yi Donglai took out the key from his pocket and reached out to open Li Huowang's handcuffs.
Rubbing his wrist with his hand, Li Huowang looked at Yi Donglai with an unkind expression, "You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that this lunatic will go crazy and kill you?"
"Li Huowang, do you still have time to joke around? It seems you are not in a hurry at all? Do you know that your mother called me yesterday and she was crying really sad?"
Seeing Li Huowang's expression gradually becoming painful, standing there with clenched fists, Yi Donglai sat down on the other side of the sand table.
"You are also a frequent visitor to this place. I don't want to say anything else. If you want to be discharged from the hospital quickly, you just need to cooperate with the treatment. There is no other way."
Yi Donglai tapped the edge of the sand table with a pen and placed a small plastic figure in the center of the sand table.
"If this is you, what are you going to do next? It's best not to think about anything and just follow your heart."
Li Huowang looked at the little plastic figure the size of a fingernail with a complicated expression. After standing there and thinking for a while, he walked towards the cabinet. When he came back, he already had a bunch of models in his hands.
Li Huowang picked up the little figure and placed it in front of him for a while, then placed it again in the center of the sand table, and began to pick up various models and place them in the sand table.
As Li Huowang continued to place various things, Yi Donglai couldn't help but frown, "Why is this guy's mind so weird? What does it mean that these little people are crowded together, with their upper bodies inserted upside down into the sand?"
When Li Huowang stopped, Yi Donglai looked at the displayed sand table and didn't know what to say for a while.
Li Huowang uses monster models the most, but all the models are not with feet on the sand. They are either upside down or spliced into a ball. They come from nowhere, and the sand table is dug into a deep funnel shape.
"Do these things have anything to do with you?" Yi Donglai pointed to the villain hiding on the edge.
Li Huowang shook his head and said nothing.
Yi Donglai looked at Li Huowang in front of him, slowly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the little man representing Li Huowang, and gently hung it over the monsters, trying to throw the little man into the loophole where the monsters looked around.
While making these moves, Yi Donglai stared at Li Huowang's expression, trying to find anything unusual.
Just after he went back and forth several times, Yi Donglai saw Li Huowang slowly raising his head and looking at him with a strange expression. "Are you okay? I've also set up the sand table. If nothing happens, I'll go back first."
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning." Yi Donglai handed the little man in his hand to Li Huowang, took out all the things in the sand table, and resurfaced the sand table. "Come on, continue. See what you want.
How to arrange it."
Li Huowang took a breath and started to pose again.
This time, the situation was similar to the previous one. The only difference was that the villain representing Li Huowang was slightly closer to an upside-down monster.
"What if?" Yi Donglai put his finger on the villain's back, slowly pushed it forward, and finally pushed it in front of the monster. "What if it was like this? Wouldn't it be better?"
"If you say it's better, it'll be better. Do you want to continue?"
"Continue." The little man representing Li Huowang was thrust into Li Huowang's hand again.
When the third plate was rearranged, the villain was buried in the sand, and there were two monsters next to it.
Yi Donglai seemed to have noticed something, and began to take out a ballpoint pen and write it down in his notebook. "Don't look at me, continue. Keep going until you stop."
As Li Huowang continued to place them, the villain sometimes ran into the vortex, and sometimes ran to the corner of the sand table. But the two monsters were still chasing the villain.
In the twelfth game, the villain was placed on the monster's head.
"Continue, don't stop." Yi Donglai put the villain into his hand again.
But this time, Li Huowang placed the villain on the wooden board at the edge of the sand table, facing him.
"Huh? What does this mean?"
"It means I'm tired of playing with it!" Li Huowang made a fist with one hand and slammed it hard into the sand table. The monster model was instantly smashed open, and the plastic man placed on the edge was also knocked to the ground.
"Yi Donglai, do you enjoy playing tricks on me? If you want patients to use this kind of sand table to express their inner world, all they have to do is set up a sand table!!"
"Things are dead, people are alive, and everyone's usage must be different."
After hearing this, Li Huowang endured the irritability in his heart, sat down again, and began to review the sand table.
"Since you're annoyed, let's get here today. You can go back first. It's time for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Li Huowang turned around and walked towards the door.
Just when he was about to go out, he stopped and said, "Yi Donglai, I will cooperate with all your treatments from now on, but there is one condition. If my mother calls again in the future, you will say that I am recovering well. Very good.
I'll be discharged from the hospital soon."
