The living tree has changed more than yesterday - the wrinkled bark has become relatively smooth, as flat as birch bark, and the limbs that were originally turned into roots have reappeared in outline, but the palms and soles are still stuck together, like
It's a bulky drama costume.
Today's living trees look more like people than a tree.
Lu Li guessed that this was what "Little Linna" really looked like. Was it the sucrose that made it return to normal?
"Do you like sucrose?" Lu Li asked little Linna.
"Well, I eat it when I'm in a bad mood!"
Even her voice is no longer hoarse and rough, like an innocent little girl suffering from a bad cold.
After a brief conversation, Lu Li came to the corridor.
The quiet corridor was no longer as cold as last night. The girl in the wheelchair didn't know when she got up and was still sitting by the window.
"I really don't know how to thank you..."
Lu Li came to the corridor carrying a potted plant and saw the dog meat packed in the ward.
Lu Li accepted the commission and when he left the ward and came to the corridor, dusk fell unexpectedly outside the window.
And Mildred Hempree——
The door to the activity area is also closed during the day.
Lu Li has been in the hospital for more than a week - although from the perspective of perception, not even a day has passed.
The boy shook his head, he didn't know either.
"Yeah, thank you for the candy." Little Lina took out the thing hidden on the other side of her body, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital, this is for you."
"Huh? You're fucking asking a blind doll where things are? Do you have any empathy?" Lu Li's question was met with a fierce response from the doll.
"I'll try to find a knitting needle."
Lu Li promised Siren to come back to her after getting the flashlight, and when he was about to leave, a sharp scream suddenly sounded.
"I have no idea……"
Like the Evil Fall and the golden retriever who were sent away by Lu Li, now it's the old man's turn.
Lu Li came to Ward 210, exchanged the "dog meat" story for anti-inflammatory drugs from Mildred Hempley, and then went to Ward 207.
A black cat, a crazy lady, and a woman with swelling and fluid under her skin.
Understanding what it meant, Lu Li placed the dried fish in front of the black cat, picked up the ball of thread, and handed it to the lady in ward 205.
Soon, Lu Li discovered that not only little Linna was discharged from the hospital, but also Dog Rou——
"When you get my stuff back, I can give it to you."
"Boy, I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
After successfully receiving two commissions, Lu Li returned to the corridor amidst the scolding and visited Crow Mask with a flashlight.
“Where am I going to find it?”
"That's right..."
…
"Have you recovered?"
Its puppet hand poked the eyeless face: "I need eyes!"
The ulcers on the boy's skin have stopped, a layer of scab has formed on the surface, and the putrid odor that attracts flies is no longer emitted.
The calendar on the bedside table shows the eighth day.
The doll in Ward 207 needs “eyes”;
The girl in a wheelchair who lost her legs in Ward 201 seems to be eager to dance again, and the woman dragging her intestines is looking for a "child";
Lu Li only had one piece of sucrose on him that he was going to use.
Lu Li's eyes briefly paused on the swollen Nv En, who seemed to need more medical treatment than the ulcerated boy, and then fell on the black cat sitting elegantly like a lady. Thinking of something, he took out the dried fish given by "Dog Meat" from his pocket.
"You want to go out at night, right?" Siren directly exposed Lu Li's thoughts and said in his silence, "Remember to take me with you."
"Thank you, but I still need a knitting needle..." the lady said gently.
The tree-like features had almost completely faded away, leaving only a seedling emerging from her long brown hair. Little Linna was huddled on the hospital bed. Lu Li seemed to see the sun shining golden from the window, and the floating dust floating around, floating the tiny hairs on her cheeks.
.
Obtained anti-inflammatory medicine from Mildred Hempry in ward 210, and gave sucrose to little Linna from the boy in ward 207;
The Crow Mask in Ward 206 and the Siren in Ward 207 need to enter the activity area, and the latter needs to be taken out at night;
The boy thanked Lu Li and gave him the third piece of sucrose.
"it works."
The old man expressed a sigh unique to his age: "We always have to face reality."
"Where am I going to find it."
"The woman in the crow mask in the next ward." The siren in the next bed suddenly said, "I saw she had a flashlight."
After getting the new clue, Lu Li thanked the Siren, but what she wanted was more than a frivolous thank you: "What do you need a flashlight for?"
He stopped in front of Ward 202.
This lady and the doll are two extremes.
The dim yellow that passed outside the window meant that night was approaching. Lu Li closed the door and handed the sugar to the living tree. He had no intention of exploring the corridor late at night and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.
"I have no medicine to give you. The nurses gave me normal medicine today. They also told me that I can be discharged from the hospital at any time." Mildred Hemprey said kindly: "Thank you for those interesting stories."
Lu Li looked at Siren. She was lying on her side on the hospital bed like a mermaid with her hands spread out, unable to help.
There was no way to get a flashlight in advance, so taking advantage of the unpredictable dusk, Lu Li walked along the corridor to find a ward that had not been opened before.
"I don't need medicine anymore." The boy whose ulcerated skin was completely scabbed said, "I should be able to recover and be discharged soon. Thank you."
"Do you want it?"
"What about the activity area?"
"Thank you for not being afraid of danger." Gourou said goodbye to Lu Li after being discharged from the hospital.
It was a little different from before. It was no longer a rough friction sound, nor a rough voice, but the clear and crisp voice of a girl.
"Thank you, I feel much better..."
If the old man no longer provides anti-inflammatories, what about the boy?
Lu Li came to the ward where the boy was and told him that there would no longer be anti-inflammatory drugs.
It was a potted plant with young shoots growing out of the soil.
Lu Li did not leave just yet: "Do you know where I can get lighting tools?"
"Are you going to be discharged from the hospital today?" Lu Li saw the packed suitcase.
The black cat raised its head and stared at Lu Li. Its long tail wrapped around a circle suddenly stretched out, got under the pillow, and pulled out a ball of wool.
Returning to Ward 204, Lu Li sorted out the current commissions:
"I should thank you."
"Good morning, Mr. Lu Li."
The boy climbed out of the hospital bed, sincerely thanked Lu Li and told him:
The dirty stuffed doll that looked like it was left behind by a patient said to Lu Li: "You have been running around and helping a lot of people these days? If you are so free, do me a favor too."
.”
"Thanks."
"Why can't we go together?"
"Can't you give it first?"
"How do I know if you won't do anything if you take something?"
The lady in ward 205 needs a knitting needle;
"My brother is on the third floor. If you need help, you can go to Ward 303 to find him. He will definitely help you."
