Liu Gen got up before five o'clock. He didn't want to delay the work in the anatomy room because of training.
Today is Saturday, and it’s time to take out the soaked corpses and dry them again.
The work must be completed before the school team bus leaves. Come back tomorrow night and put the body back into the trough.
The weather seemed to have changed overnight, it was foggy, and a slight cold wind made the branches with few leaves left on the trees rustle.
The cold north wind, carrying the cold wave from the sea, penetrated the gaps in the clothes and kissed the strong body of Liu Gen.
Liu Gen shrugged, curled up his neck, and muttered: "It's time to spend money again."
Yes, it was time to spend money again and buy winter clothes. The cotton-padded clothes and trousers he had worn for three years were left to his father, thinking that they would not be able to wear them in a place like the South China Sea.
Liu Gen suddenly thought of his parents at home. In the early winter, it had already been freezing in Gangou Village in previous years, and his mother's old cold leg problem was coming back.
When he thought about his mother's leg and foot problems, Liu Gen felt sour in his heart. The mountain road carrying water for more than ten miles could kill his mother at any time.
Even if the water cellar is built, there is no water to store, and my mother still has to carry water to drink. The cotton-padded jacket on her body is so patched that you can’t tell what the original fabric is like. Liu Gen still clearly remembers the pair of cotton shoes and woolen trousers.
During the winter vacation of his first year of high school, he earned money from helping Xiangzi's family look after the coal mines and bought it for his mother. My mother will definitely still have to wear it this winter.
I should buy lightweight cashmere clothes for my parents.
Liu Gen thought to himself as he turned onto the road leading to the anatomy building.
At this moment, there is a mist around the dim street lights, and the entire campus is in the silence before dawn. The teachers and students are still nestled in the warm quilts, sleeping soundly, and there is no one around.
The bustling campus during the day was lifeless at this moment. Liu Gen felt as if he had entered an empty world. When he thought of walking into the anatomy room and dealing with dead people, Liu Gen couldn't help but shuddered. Suddenly he felt like there was someone behind him.
As if he was following him, he felt frightened and turned his head sharply. He saw nothing but his own figure.
This reminded Liu Gen of those nights when he was in high school, traveling between the county town and Gangou Village. How many nights he rode his bicycle through the mountain roads, and always felt someone following behind him. In order to get rid of the fear, he kept
He rang the bell of his bicycle. One winter, it snowed heavily and it was impossible to ride on the road. He had to push the bicycle forward slowly. When he reached a mountain col, he heard several wolf howls and was frightened.
He hurriedly picked up his bicycle and ran.
At this moment, it seems that I have returned to the past situation of driving at night.
The closer Liu Gen got to the anatomy building, the more hairy he felt all over his body.
How could this happen? I have seen countless dead people of all kinds and even touched the corpses with my hands all day long. Why do I feel so scared today?
It's okay to not want to die, but I have been frightened all my life. I saw the anatomy building from a distance. Except for the two street lamps at the door that gave off a faint light in the fog, the entire anatomy building was dark, in the thick fog.
It looks even more ghostly.
Liu Gen slowed down, wondering if he should wait until there were people on campus before entering.
This hesitation made him feel even more timid.
I looked around and saw that the thick fog made it possible to only see objects within three meters.
Liu Gen coughed softly, emboldened himself, bit his cheek, and muttered: "If you're not afraid of living people, why should you be afraid of dead people on the ball!"
He took off his stride and quickly ran up the steps of the anatomy building.
The door to the anatomy building is usually not locked, only hooks are used to hook the two doors. No one will come to steal anything here. Apart from dead bodies and skeletons, there is nothing valuable to steal. Of course, it will not prevent dead bodies from escaping.
.
Pushing open the door, Liu Gen reached out to turn on the light and walked toward the basement entrance. He knew exactly where the switch was.
Liu Gen's heart was still high, and behind him, bursts of cold wind shrieked.
Although he emboldened himself and walked in, Liu Gen still felt his muscles tightening, perhaps because it was too cold, and his whole body was shivering from the cold, and his footsteps were a little messy.
I walked into the soaking room and pressed the switch. The fluorescent lights on the roof buzzed, flashed a few times, and then turned on.
Liu Gen took a long breath and walked directly to the plastic suit and mask. When he put on the black plastic suit, he heard a squeak, which made his legs tremble. He turned around and saw that the door was wide open.
Under the bright light, there was nothing except the troughs where corpses were soaked.
"Who..." Liu Gen asked loudly, his trembling voice echoing in the room. Liu Gen thought to himself, is it some teacher who went to work early in the morning?
"May I ask who it is..."
Liu Gen asked, walking towards the door. He clearly heard the creak of the door opening just now.
But when I walked to the door and looked out, I saw nothing, only a cold wind pouring in from the entrance.
"What the hell!" Liu Gen laughed to himself, turned around and walked into the house. After walking a few steps, there was another creaking sound on the door, and Liu Gen turned around sharply: "Who is it... come out quickly... don't
Hiding in the dark and scaring people..." He shouted angrily.
Except for the echo of his trembling voice, there was no other sound. Liu Gen blinked a few times. If he heard the squeak for the first time, he might have heard it wrong because he was afraid, but the second sound proved that the first one was heard.
I did hear it.
Liu Gen walked to the door again, stood by the door, and looked at the doors of several rooms outside. In other rooms, the lights were not turned on. Some doors were closed, some were ajar, and some were wide open. Liu Gen walked over,
He turned on the lights in one room after another to see if anyone was hiding inside. After all the rooms turned on, Liu Gen still didn't see anything.
"It's impossible to hear wrongly." Liu Gen muttered and decided to turn on all the lights and walk towards the room where the corpse was soaked.
The nervous nerves in his heart were getting tighter and tighter. This was the first time he felt scared since he started working in the dissecting room and working with dissected corpses.
When I was a child, I listened to the weird and supernatural ghost stories told by the old people in the village, and now my mind is flooded with them.
But Liu Gen secretly encouraged himself: there are no ghosts in the world!
Fear is fear, but you still have to do your job well.
Liu Gen put on a mask and began to fish the body out of the tank where it was soaked.
When the three corpses in the first trough were taken out and placed, and when they walked to the next trough, there was another squeaking sound, this time not once, but three times.
Liu Gen held his breath and looked out through the mask. His vision was not as clear as when he was not wearing the mask. He stared blankly for a while, and then there were two more squeaking sounds. Liu Gen felt more and more uncomfortable.
Is it really weird?
Liu Gen was panicking and walked quietly towards the door. At this moment, his heart felt as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He was also sweating, his feet were a little shaky, and he was breathing heavily.
When he arrived at the door, Liu Gen planned to stand here and wait to see what the noise was.
He took a deep breath and waited quietly for the sound to sound again.
After a shrieking wind blew outside the window, suddenly, a creaking sound came from a room. Liu Gen quietly walked towards the room where the creaking sound came from. When he got to the door, he calmed down for a while and then looked inside.
This room displays human skeletons. There are several human skeleton models erected in a corner of the room. The window of this room is half open. The cold wind blows in from the half-opened window and blows the wind near the window.
A human skeleton, its arms swaying and making a creaking sound.
"Hmph... I said who was scaring me, it turned out to be you!" Liu Gen found the culprit who scared him, said to himself with a wry smile, walked over, closed the window, and patted the skeleton's arm with his hand.
Pai said: "Senior, don't joke with me anymore, it will scare people to death!"
This was a real human skeleton. When Liu Gen patted it with his hand, it made a creaking sound as if in protest.
Liu Gen chuckled: "I believe, senior, you have used your own body to create many brilliant medical experts. Your contribution is not small. In the future, I will often ask you for advice and learn from you.
Haha... My ideal is to become a surgeon and use the scalpel in my hand to save more people's lives. You will fulfill my wish, right?"
Liu Gen was no longer afraid and told the dead man's skeleton his ideals.
Later, Liu Gen learned from Xiao Xiao that this skeleton belonged to the first anatomy professor at Nanhai Medical University, a foreigner named James Jera.
After taking out all the corpses and drying them, we walked out of the autopsy room. It was already past seven o'clock.
This morning, there was a theoretical class for graduate students. Xiao Xiao came out of home early and went to the anatomy building and saw Liu Gen closing the door.
"Liu Gen, are you here so early?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
"Good morning, Professor Xiao." Liu Gen greeted with a smile: "The school team is going to the suburbs for training, so before I leave, I came over to finish today's work."
"Did you get up very early?" Xiao Xiao saw that Liu Gen was wearing a singlet and guessed that he probably came very early.
"Haha...it's not too early." Liu Genhan said with a smile.
"If anything happens in the future, you can tell Teacher Wang."
"Okay, goodbye, Professor Xiao." Liu Gen turned around and ran down the steps.
"Wait a moment, Liu Gen." Xiao Xiao hurriedly called out: "Follow me to the office."
Liu Gen glanced at the bell tower and saw that there were only twenty minutes before boarding the bus at eight o'clock, but he couldn't refuse, so he followed Xiao Xiao upstairs.
"Isn't this life easy?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Haha... not bad."
"Are you scared?"
"Haha... I'm not afraid." Liu Gen thought that he was scared just now.
"If there is no place for self-study in the future, you can come to my office. I won't lock the door." Xiao Xiao opened the office door and said, "No students dare to come here for self-study. It's relatively quiet."
"Thank you, Professor Xiao." Liu Gen really needs a place where he can study quietly, and this is indeed a good place for self-study.
Xiao Xiao took out an anatomy atlas from the bookshelf and handed it to Liu Gen: "This is the anatomy atlas I compiled. Take a look at it when you have time."
Liu Gen was startled and looked at the thick book: "This..."
"There may be something on it that is different from the general anatomy atlas. You can compare it." Xiao Xiao took a picture of the atlas and said, "Although you haven't officially started the class yet, there is no harm in taking a look in advance."
Liu Gen caught it with trembling hands: "Thank you, Professor Xiao, I will look at it carefully."
"Since you work in the anatomy room, you see corpses and skeletons every day, and you should be able to understand it if you combine it with the atlas and anatomy textbooks." Xiao Xiao said, "This book is given to you, which is a good reminder for you in the anatomy room.
