I frowned and dipped my fingers in water to write on the cement floor, thinking about how to come up with a seamless plan.
Suddenly, there were voices outside the door, and I quickly wiped away the water stains on the floor.
"Zhao Mouse, I'm warning you for the last time, if you cause trouble for me by being dishonest, I will have no choice but to send you to the correctional room."
The door opened, and it was Zhao Xiaoxiao talking to an older male caregiver.
After not seeing each other for a day, Zhao Xiaoxiao looked a little haggard, and he hurriedly said: "Ouch! Brother Qu, look at what you said! Forget it in the correction room, I promise not to cause trouble."
"It's good to know, I'm sorry you don't dare, go to bed early, I'm leaving!"
"Report!"
I hurriedly raised my hands and said: "Report to the leader! I apply to change the dormitory!"
Zhao Mouse put his arm around my shoulders and said with a friendly smile: "What else can I change? We are fine!"
The nurse named Qu looked back at the two of us and left without saying a word.
As soon as the man left with his front legs, the mouse locked the door with his hind legs.
"Hello, my dear, come here."
He smiled evilly and hooked his hand at me.
I know that at this moment he is not the honest and docile Zhao Weiping, but the crazy Zhao Muse.
I stood there with a cold face and didn't move.
"I told you not to come here!"
His eyes were fierce and he immediately punched me.
I wasn't prepared last time, but this time I was fully focused. How could I let him hit me so easily?
At that moment, I stepped back and nimbly avoided his punch.
"Huh? You little tender chicken, I want you to hide!"
When he failed to succeed, he immediately became angry and launched an even more ferocious attack.
Master Hou Shang Ma once told me: "Let him be strong, let him be strong, the breeze blows on the hills, and he is as horizontal as he is, and the bright moon shines on the river."
Bu Chanchan is the best at restraining his unstructured punches. As long as his center of gravity and footwork are stable, he can't even think of touching me. If there are outsiders present, they will see that my waist is like a willow branch blown by the wind.
Twisting back and forth, although the movement is not aesthetically pleasing, it is full of practicality.
Seeing the opportunity, I kicked him down in the stomach!
Zhao Mouse's center of gravity was unstable, he took several steps back, and his back slammed against the iron door.
He gasped and said: "Little...boy! I...I didn't expect you to hide so much!"
After saying that, he opened the door and ran to the corridor, yelling at me fiercely: "The space inside is too small, I can't use my fists! Boy, you have the guts to come out! Let everyone witness! I will sign a life and death certificate with you! Damn it!"
Yes, today either you die or I die!"
I glanced at him, kicked the door shut, and then locked it.
I thought to myself: "What a fucking fool."
"Bang bang bang!"
"Come out! Come out, kid! I'll beat you to death today!"
He roared hysterically and kicked the door with crazy force.
Such loud noise quickly attracted two night shift managers on the fourth floor.
Someone stopped Zhao Xiaoxiao and asked me what was going on?
My face was already bruised, so I immediately covered my cheek and cried aggrievedly: "He hit me! He hit me again! Leader, if you don't change my dormitory for me, I will be beaten to death by him sooner or later!"
"
"Zhao Shu! What did I say just now... You are so disrespectful to me."
"Qu...Brother Qu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense! I didn't hit him at all just now!"
"Don't make excuses, then why didn't I see any injuries on you?"
"Call someone! Send him to the behavior modification room!"
Two strong men in work clothes came immediately and dragged Zhao Muse forward.
Zhao Museuzou was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept shouting: "I won't go to the correction room! I won't go to the correction room! Don't shock me!"
Watching the person being dragged away, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the male manager suddenly said: "You did a good job and did not give me a bigger problem. Tell me which room you want to change to, and I will try my best to meet your request."
I pointed to the corner of the toilet and said, "Boss, I want to live in that room. I have a little problem. Sometimes I urinate frequently. It's more convenient if I'm closer to the toilet."
The male manager turned his head and glanced, frowning and said: "Do you want to live in the ward next to the freezer?"
I nodded quickly and said yes.
"Well..."
"It's not that I won't let you stay. Although that ward is a bit cold, it is a single room. Many well-behaved and senior people here want to live in a single room. You are a newbie here. I'm afraid it won't be a good idea for me to arrange this...
..”
I covered the wound on my face with my left hand, stretched out my right hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile: "It all depends on the leadership's arrangement. I will live wherever the leader asks me to live."
He looked at me in surprise and put his hands back into his trouser pockets calmly.
Then he smiled and said: "Young people are full of firepower, and it doesn't matter if they are cold. Then you can move to a single room."
"Thank you! Thank you, leader!"
Watching the other person's back leave, I thought to myself: "Sure enough, money is everything, and it's the same here. The most correct decision I made was to hide a lot of money on me before I came in."
....
Damn, it's really a bit cold here.
I carried a quilt and moved to room 429. Next to it is the freezer 428. I just asked about it. People here say that the freezer is used to freeze and store canteen ingredients, but Wu Le told me that it is actually a room inside.
There is a dedicated internal "morgue", just like large hospitals are equipped with morgues.
Thinking about it, many people have lived here for decades and have no family members for a long time. After the death of these people, the Changchun Society will certainly handle the funeral arrangements.
As for why it was frozen instead of directly cremated, I haven't been here for a short time and I haven't figured out the reason yet.
It is now 9 o'clock in the evening. The door is locked at ten o'clock. There is still an hour of free time. I have nothing to do and go to the chess and card room to watch TV.
There was a Changhong color TV set there, playing foreign black and white silent comedies. About seven people were watching them here.
"Master Qin, right?" I walked to the chair and asked softly.
This old man is estimated to be over ten years old. He is wearing a clean hospital gown and has half black and half white hair. Especially his eyes. They are very energetic.
He stared at the TV and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to buy cigarettes, you still want to buy wine."
I looked around and said in a low voice: "Master Qin, I want to buy something else, I don't know if that's okay."
"What do you want? Want to find a wife in the East District and have fun?"
I shook my head and whispered, "I want the key to the freezer."
I kept staring at him and saw his right eyelid twitching.
"What are you doing in the cold storage?"
I lowered my head and said, "Master Qin, I found out that a man named Cao Zheng died here two years ago. This man is related to me. His body may be hidden in the freezer. I want to go in and look for him."
After hearing this, the old man frowned and said: "Cao Zheng...this name is a bit familiar. There seems to be such a person in the past two years."
"Master Qin, I heard from Zhao Shuhu that you are a relative of the vice-dean. You have a lot of energy here. The nurses and management have to give you some face. I hope you can do me this favor. Please give me a price."
"It's hard to get the key to the cold storage...how long do you want to go in?"
I said without hesitation: "Three minutes, three minutes at most."
"Then what price can you offer?"
"Master Qin, please wait a moment."
I turned around and quickly took out all the money sewn in my pants. I counted it and found that there was less than four hundred yuan left.
"I only have so much left in my body. Master Qin, please see if you can help me."
He looked at it and directly took my money and put it in his arms.
"What is your specific relationship with Cao Zheng?" he asked again.
I don't know Cao Zheng at all. I learned this name from someone during the day. I only knew that this person died last year.
I wiped my eyes and whispered: "I didn't expect to find out about him here. Master Cao hugged me when I was a child. There has been no news about him for so many years. I...I didn't expect."
"Ah? I remember Cao Zheng was only in his forties, right? He even hugged you?"
I quickly said: "Master Qin, you remember wrongly. If he is still alive, I am afraid he must be at least fifty years old."
"Well... maybe I remembered it wrong."
The TV was still playing. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and continued to watch the TV and said: "The key to the cold storage is with Lao Qu (the male caregiver). You go to the toilet and wait, and I will ask a Rongmen master to give you the key."
Take him there, you must remember that it is 9:30 now, whether you find Cao Zheng or not, you must come out before locking the door at 10 o'clock."
"Also, the dirty talk is ahead. If you are discovered, do you know what to do?"
I nodded hurriedly: "Young man, I understand that I will never harm you, Mr. Qin."
"As long as you understand, go and wait."
Rongmen is a thief. Anyone who can be called a master here is by no means an ordinary thief. At worst, he is a master thief.
The conditions in the mental hospital are poor and the toilets are extremely dirty.
If you think about it, you will know how well a group of bachelors with abnormal mental state can pay attention to hygiene. The toilet is still a dry toilet, and all kinds of sundries including toilet paper are thrown everywhere. If it is summer, no need to guess, it must be in vain.
Maggots crawled all over the ground and couldn't find an empty place to settle.
Why did Zhao Mouse say something like asking me to eat shit yesterday?
Because there is a man here with severe pica. He likes to go to the toilet to eat fresh feces. I heard that he specially chooses the steaming, formed and dry ones to eat, as well as cold and thin ones with soup.
Don't eat.
At 9:45, the door was about to be locked, so I waited anxiously at the door of the toilet.
Suddenly, a short young man came over and touched me. Without turning his head, he quietly handed me a bunch of keys.
I secretly hid the key in my sleeve, walked to the freezer, stopped and looked at the shape of the keyhole, and quickly tried a few keys while no one was paying attention.
Also by luck, I quickly found the corresponding key card and opened it with a click.
Slowly opening the door, I ducked in and quickly closed the door.
After coming in, I fumbled to turn on the light on the wall.
