I learned from Zhang Qiliang that after he fell into coma, he went insane again.
Not only did he chase the abbot of Longxing Temple, but he also smashed a wooden fish in front of the Buddha statue.
According to Zhang Qiliang's description, he hated the wooden fish very much at that time and smashed it with all his strength until it fell into pieces.
At this time, Jiang Wuji seemed calm on the surface, but there was a storm in his heart.
"Muyu, I'm actually smashing the wooden fish!"
"So when I was fighting the boundless demon monk on the other side, I was also smashing wooden fish here?"
"No, this... the time doesn't match!"
"What Zhang Qiliang said happened in the afternoon, and the other thing happened in the evening..."
Just when Jiang Wuji couldn't figure it out, Zhang Qiliang asked: "Wuji, do you have any views on Buddhism?"
Jiang Wuji shook his head: "No, although I don't believe in Buddhism, I'm not disgusted either."
"What shadow does that have on Muyu?"
"nor……"
Jiang Wuji said seriously: "Doctor Zhang, in my opinion, I was going crazy at that time."
Zhang Qiliang: "Going crazy?"
Jiang Wuji: "Yes, this is a disease and it needs to be cured."
Zhang Qiliang: "I know..."
Jiang Wuji: "Well, it's all thanks to you."
Zhang Qiliang: "It's not hard work, it's your duty..."
Seeing Jiang Wuji nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Qiliang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.
Then he took out a brand new wooden fish, put it on the table, and asked: "Take a look, will you feel any discomfort?"
Jiang Wuji looked at the wooden fish on the table cooperatively, and even picked up the wooden fish and knocked it for a while.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"No discomfort, I really don't have any shadow against Muyu." Jiang Wuji said.
Zhang Qiliang nodded, and then took out a broken wooden fish that was smashed into pieces, "What about this one?"
Jiang Wuji frowned: "This wooden fish..."
Zhang Qiliang observed Jiang Wuji's changes and said, "This is the wooden fish that you smashed."
Jiang Wuji stared at the wooden fish fragments, and his mind fell into a brief blank.
Because there are still bloody scabs on this wooden fish, and even the broken fingers.
Why does this wooden fish appear here?
Is it possible that Monk Wuyuan is not dead yet?!
No, no...no, no, no!
They can't see it, neither Zhang Qiliang nor his aunt can see it! Just like the black cat back then, they can't see the blood scab on the wooden fish, nor can they see the fingers!
In their eyes, a black cat is an ordinary cat, and a wooden fish is an ordinary wooden fish!
Only I can see it! Only I can see it...
"Jiang Wuji?"
Zhang Qiliang's voice pulled Jiang Wuji out of shock.
Jiang Wuji coughed dryly and reached out to touch it. After making sure that the wooden fish was completely dead, he said, "Is this... very expensive?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Qiliang asked with a smile.
Jiang Wuji touched the bridge of his nose and said with some embarrassment: "You brought this broken wooden fish here to compensate me, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhang Qiliang laughed heartily and said: "It's not that, it's not that, I just did a small test to see if I can find the reason why you fell ill at Longxing Temple."
"Although I don't know, it definitely has nothing to do with Muyu." Jiang Wuji said sincerely.
Zhang Qiliang put away the wooden fish and said, "Well, I have nothing to do here for now. If it rains today, don't go outside. If you are bored, just go to the activity room for a walk."
"Oh, by the way, other patients are also there. Although there are nursing staff, you still have to be careful when interacting with them. If you encounter any trouble, you can directly tell the nursing staff, you know?"
Jiang Wuji nodded and responded: "I understand clearly."
"Okay, then... Miss Su, why don't you come with me first? Some procedures have not been completed yet, and I need you to confirm and sign." Zhang Qiliang looked at his aunt and asked for her consent.
"Okay, then Wuji, I'll go through the formalities first," the aunt said.
"Well, I'll go to the activity room later, don't worry." Jiang Wuji's smile was bright and sunny.
In fact, the aunt didn't want to leave, or let Jiang Wuji leave her sight.
At the same time, Jiang Wuji could also guess that going through the formalities was just an excuse, and chatting about his condition in private was the purpose.
After Dr. Zhang and his aunt left, Jiang Wuji walked out of the ward and was led by a nurse to the activity room.
There are not many patients in the activity room, about ten or so. After all, Sunshine Mental Hospital is very big and not all patients live in the same building.
However, those who are able to move out are relatively mild or relatively stable.
They were wearing the same hospital gowns as Jiang Wuji, some were playing chess, some were watching TV, and some were chatting like normal people.
Laughter, orderliness, and very healing.
Jiang Wuji came here not really because he wanted to do some activities, nor because he was curious about mental patients, but because he wanted to see if he would meet a patient like Jueming, a patient who could recognize him as a Taoist priest.
At this moment, a man who looked to be at least in his fifties walked straight towards Jiang Wuji. Through the light, you could clearly see his sallow scalp under his sparse hair.
"Little Cheche, why are you back?" The other party's face was filled with a smile, revealing two rows of uneven, disgusting yellow teeth.
Jiang Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Are you talking to me?"
"You're crazy, is there anyone else here?" the man said.
Jiang Wuji: "But my name is Jiang Wuji..."
"Your name is Xiao Cheche, not Jiang Wuji."
"My name is Jiang Wuji."
"Your name is Xiao Cheche!"
"My name is...forget it, as long as you are happy."
Only mentally ill people would argue with mentally ill people, at least that's what Jiang Wuji thought.
"Little Cheche, you don't recognize me? I'm Lao Li. We were roommates for a month before," Lao Li said.
Does he really know me? After all, I have lived here before, but after I recovered, I forgot all about it.
Jiang Wuji frowned, and then patted his forehead in a very cooperative manner, "Oh! Old Li! How could I have forgotten you? I was just thinking about other things."
"Just remember, come with me."
Lao Li pulled Jiang Wuji to the corner, his cloudy eyes constantly observing the surrounding situation, making Jiang Wuji feel like a thief.
"Little Cheche, you came back at the right time! Something happened to Little Fatty, let's go over and help him quickly!" Lao Li said in a suppressed voice.
"Something happened? What happened? If something happens, tell the nurse immediately!" Jiang Wuji was a little anxious, feeling that even if something happened to a mental patient, it would not be a trivial matter.
Unexpectedly, Lao Li glared at him and cursed: "What's the use of looking for those trash? They can't see it. If they could see it, how could we still be locked up in this hellish place?"
"Has Zhang Qiliang's grandson brainwashed you? I'm telling you, you must not believe what he says."
"We are not sick, they are the ones who are!"
"Forget it, don't talk about this now, hurry up and come with me to save Xiaopang."
Jiang Wuji was speechless for a while, but his curiosity was aroused by Lao Li's words, so he followed Lao Li to the toilet.
There are also caregivers outside the toilet, but they don't really control when mentally ill patients go to the toilet.
Those who can be released are in relatively good condition, can take care of themselves when going to the toilet, and do not need their help to poop or pee.
After entering the toilet, Jiang Wuji's brows knitted together.
There were many dead bugs on the toilet floor. They were everywhere. Some unnamed hard-shelled black bugs were about the size of a small fingernail. If you step on them, they will explode.
And the whole toilet was not filled with the smell of excrement, but the smell of these bugs.
Is the environment here so bad? I must complain later, it’s so disgusting!
"It's over, it's over, why are there so many bugs, it's over."
Lao Li pulled Jiang Wuji, hurriedly walked to the last room, and pushed the door open.
"Little Fatty, look who's coming! Little Cheche is back!"
Lao Li's voice was very excited, but Jiang Wuji's face turned pale at this moment!
Because the man sitting on the toilet was covered in these black bugs!
His expression was very painful, but he tried his best not to scream. Densely packed insects crawled over his body, burrowing into his mouth, ears, nose, and even under his eyelids.
Just when Jiang Wuji wanted to shout for the nurse, Lao Li covered his mouth.
"What are you doing! Don't make a sound!"
"They can't see these bugs! It's useless to scream!"
"Not only is it useless, they will lock us up later and give us injections! We need to take medicine! They say we are mentally ill!"
"So don't scream, don't scream!"
"You have never made such a stupid mistake before."
Thinking of the broken wooden fish just now, Jiang Wuji swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Now that the black cat and the boundless wooden fish head have appeared in this world, these bugs may have come from there too.
Save people first!
After Lao Li released his hand, Jiang Wuji quickly asked: "So what are you going to do?"
"Of course it's to save people! Haven't you seen it? The little fat guy is like this!" Lao Li said anxiously.
Jiang Wuji: "Then how to save him?"
Lao Li stretched his neck and looked towards the door, then carefully took out a bottle of toilet water and a lighter from his crotch.
"Burn these bugs!"
"Where did you get the lighter?" Jiang Wuji was very surprised. With this toilet water, he could still understand. How did he get the lighter?
Aren't you afraid that mental illness will burn down the hospital?
"Don't worry about it, I have my own way."
The anxious Lao Li began to pour toilet water on the insects.
"Go to the door and watch, and try to prevent others from coming in. If you can't, just cough! Just leave it to me!"
"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"
Jiang Wuji scratched his scalp, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a "pop" sound.
Lao Li lit the toilet water, and the blue flame instantly enveloped the little fat man sitting on the toilet.
These black bugs made crackling sounds as they were burned by the flames, and fell from Little Fatty's body one after another.
"Little Fatty, hold on! Hold on!"
Lao Li hurriedly took out the tissue and threw it at the other party, and the fire suddenly became more fierce!
The smell of burning began to permeate the air, and soon the smoke alarm installed on the ceiling made a shrill sound.
"Ring ring ring——"
"Bang!"
A caregiver rushed in, and when he saw the flames, his eyes almost fell out of his head!
