PNB Chapter 23 Camphor Wood [3]
Chapter 23 Camphor Wood [3]
Su Chi finally went to the hospital because Xiaolong reminded her that if she didn't go, the next one to be betrayed might be her benevolent brother.
In the taxi, Xiao Cage asked the woman in yellow for her name.
The woman pronounced her name shyly.
Crowbar (lao).
She said that was her name.
Xiaolong exploded when he heard it, "You don't look a few years older than me. It's obvious that you want to take advantage of people by calling out such a name that you can say that you are senior. The ancestors offered it?"
Su Chi pulled the cage over, covered her chattering mouth tightly in his hands, and finally wrote the word Wuzhi in her palm, and whispered a lesson in her ear: "Camphorwood is also known as crowwood." Zhang, Zhangzhang, it’s only natural for people to call this name. You can’t read, but you have to shout that the whole world knows it?”
The driver in front glanced back at them silently. Su Qiu in the passenger seat lowered his head and secretly wrote on his lap for a long time, but he didn't write the word his sister said.
He decided to pretend to understand when he didn't understand, and he was as wise as a fool.

When they arrived at the hospital, Wu Cheng took them all the way to the brain intensive care unit of the inpatient department.
Through the open glass window, Su Chi indeed saw a young man lying on a hospital bed near the window, with tubes inserted all over his body, his breath like a gossamer, and his face ashen.
The little nurse at the nearby nurse's station saw Wuzhi, and immediately stepped forward to ask why she hadn't been seen for a day.
Wu Cheng didn't dare to say that he was nearly burnt with gasoline after being tied up, so he changed the subject and asked about the young master's condition.
The hospital only knew that Wu Zhi was the wife of the male patient, so they explained the man's situation today to her in detail.
The more Wu Cheng heard it, the sadder he became.
Su Chi and the others didn't speak either.
After the nurse left, Wu Cheng murmured to himself, wanting to cry but without tears, "...why don't you wake up? The doctor also said that it's time to wake up. If you don't wake up, you will become a vegetable..."
"Maybe his body hasn't recovered yet. In a few days, when he is in better condition, he might wake up." Su Qiu comforted.
Su Chi opened her mouth to say something, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Xiaolong lying on the glass of the intensive care unit like a gecko with a strange expression, so she asked, "Xiaolong, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Long turned around and asked: "A person who should have woken up but has not woken up, does he not want to wake up?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Cheng asked in surprise, "Why didn't he wake up, what's the good of lying there?"
"That's not necessarily true." Xiaolong walked away from the glass window, leaned behind Su Chi, and said calmly: "No matter how good the world is, there are many troubles. Some people are willing to lie here ignorantly in order to escape temporary hardships." Not moving at all. Otherwise, where do you think there are so many suicides in this world?"
"Suicide..." The blood on Wu Cheng's face faded suddenly, his face looked as if he had chewed bitter melon raw, and his twist was darker than the cloudy sky, "...Speaking of which, I don't even know how the little master fell off the roof Yes, he is clearly standing well, not stepping aside, and there is no one else..." Wu Cheng rushed to Su Chi, took her hand and cried loudly, "He didn't really commit suicide, did he? Why? Why? How could he commit suicide? Is he worthy of his ancestors? Is he worthy of his parents? Is he worthy of me?"
Su Chi glared at Xiaolong, and with great effort pulled out his sleeve from the crying Wuluo, trying his best to comfort him, "Don't listen to Xiaolong's nonsense..."
"Why is it talking nonsense? I'm just stating a possibility." Xiao Cage said naturally: "If you don't understand the real predicament a person is in, what's the use of saving his life? Don't you think he's still awake? Don’t come here? I think it’s serious to prescribe the right medicine.”
"Prescribe the right medicine to the case, how to prescribe the right medicine?" Wu Cheng turned to hold Xiao Long's hand with tears in his eyes, looking at her as if seeing Hua Tuo alive.
"It's very simple." Xiao Cage said calmly, "Look at what's going on in his mind."
"In my mind..." Wu Cheng's eyes widened in surprise, "Then how do I know?"
"The look she said is the real look," Su Qiu explained: "There is a small cage, this method can be tried."
Facing Xiao Long, Wu Cheng already wished she could be enshrined.
"It's easy for me to enter that guy's consciousness, but..." Xiao Long suddenly turned to Su Zhi, with a sly and smug smile on his face, "I want Su Zhi to go with me."
Su Chi asked inexplicably, "Me?"
Su Qiu also felt strange, "What is my sister going to do?"
Xiao Cage took it for granted: "If this person is really a passive and frustrated person who wants to commit suicide, and there is no one present who can persuade him with eloquence, even if we go, isn't it all in vain?"
"Can you be eloquent? You have to persuade him..." Su Qiu looked at the silent Su Chi, and whispered suspiciously: "...I always think my sister should be the kind of person who turns around and leaves..."
Wu Cheng and Su Chi spent a short time together, but she trusted her far more than anyone else. She immediately took Su Chi's arm and begged with trembling tears: "Please help my little master, as long as the little master is good Come here, I can make you a cow or a horse!"
"You were automatically sold into my house with my money. Even if I don't help you, isn't it a matter of course for you to treat me like a horse?" Su Chi said calmly.
"...Eh?" Wu Cheng was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
"..." Su Qiu covered his forehead, thinking that this is the style of his younger sister.
"Pfft!" Xiaolong put his arms around Su Chi's neck, leaning against her and laughing loudly.
Su Chi was strangled by her neck, and struggled for a long time, then pushed her away, rubbed her neck and said to the dull Wu Zhi: "You just need to remember that it is my kindness to help you, but it is by no means my obligation. "
Wu Cheng nodded again and again, shaking tears all over his face.
Su Zhi sighed heavily, turned to Xiao Long and asked, "What should I do next?"
Xiao Cage smiled and said, "It's very simple, first of all, you have to fall asleep."
---
For Su Chi, sleeping is the most difficult thing to do.
Su Chi and Xiao Long sat side by side in the quiet stairwell of the hospital, and several flights of stairs separated Su Qiu and Wu Cheng standing in front of them, each helpless.
"I can't help." Su Chi spread his hands and said, "Or let Wu Cheng go, after all, he is an acquaintance."
Upon hearing this, Wu Cheng panicked and said, "No, no, I'm nervous!"
Xiao Long was also unwilling, and turned his face away with his mouth pursed, "I don't want her."
Su Chi said: "It's not a big matter of marrying and avoiding demolition. What does it have to do with whether you like her or not?"
Xiaolong suddenly regained his energy, bumped into Su Chi's arm, and said with a thief: "Hey, don't rise to the height of whether you like someone or not! It's easy to be misunderstood!"
Su Chi annoyed her, pushed her arm away, and was about to stand up, "You started this matter yourself, you should find a way to solve it yourself."
"Wait!" Xiaolong dragged Su Chi down again, who was half up, and wrapped one hand around the back of her neck, with the palm of his hand pressed against her face, not only hugged Su Chi, but also covered her ears.
Su Zhi looked at Xiaolong who was facing him in puzzlement.
Xiaolong's other hand covered Su Zhi's other ear, and she leaned close to Su Zhi, so close to her, her eyes met.
"Su Zhi, I know why you can't sleep." Xiaolong's smiling face gradually enlarged in Su Zhi's eyes.
Su Chi's eyes widened in surprise.
But before Su Zhi got Xiaolong's words, the next second, Su Zhi's body tilted, and he fell heavily into Xiaolong's arms.
"Sister!" Su Qiu was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward, nervously trying to help Su Chi.
Xiao Cage didn't let go, "It's okay, she's asleep."
"Asleep?" Su Qiu asked suspiciously, "Why does it look like you've been knocked out?"
"Not knocked out!" Xiao Cage said dumbfoundedly: "As long as she thinks she is safe, she can actually fall asleep!"
---
"Little Susu? Little Xiaosu?" A familiar voice kept pestering her ears, "Daughter, it's time to go to bed."
Su Chi opened her eyes from a warm chest, and saw her father, whom she had not seen for a long time, standing in front of her. His thick and powerful arms were carefully propped under her armpits, supporting her to stand upright.
Su Chi looked down, and immediately saw his short, fat body.
This looks like me who is less than five years old.
"...Dad?" Su Chi, who was very conscious, was not frightened by herself. After she was surprised, she immediately calmed down. She examined the man in front of her for a while, and after confirming that he was indeed her young father, she asked Look around.
This is her room, her childhood.
So, what about the cage?
She herself is not sure if she can find Xiao Cage, because she is still not sure whether this is her real memory or a false dream created by Xiao Cage again.
"Xiao Xiao Su, what are you looking at?" The father at the front tried his best to help Xiao Su Chi change her clothes, let her lie down on the comfortable and soft bed, and covered her with a quilt, "Go to sleep."
"Dad," Su Chi tried to communicate with the father in front of him, "There should be someone hiding in my room, and I want to find her."
"..." The father showed surprise on his resolute face, and then smiled bitterly. He stroked Su Chi's forehead, and persuaded softly, "Honey, there are no bad guys or monsters hiding under your bed or in your closet. It's safe here. Dad promises you, so you can sleep peacefully, and Dad will always be by your side, not going anywhere."
Su Zhi stared at the young father in front of him, his mind became hot, and he was bewitched by some emotions. He knew that he shouldn't say it, but he couldn't help but blurted out: "Liar."
The father's eyes widened in surprise. Being accused by his daughter face to face probably made him feel at a loss. He panicked, "Where did I lie to you?"
Isn't it a lie to make promises that are impossible to keep?
Su Chi didn't answer his father's question, but lifted the quilt to cover his head tightly and remained silent.
The father tore off the quilt from Su Zhi's head, and said: "Don't cover yourself, go to sleep, Dad will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
"...Well." Su Chi revealed half of his face from under the quilt, and closed his eyes obediently, "Dad..."
"Huh?" Dad responded.
Su Zhi knew that this was only the world in his consciousness, but he still closed his eyes and said softly: "...Actually, this is a dream, and I'm already asleep, so you can leave, it doesn't matter if I'm alone."
No one responded to her.
Su Chi opened his eyes quietly, but saw a magnified smiling face, and a white chicken coop hair above the smiling face.
"Su Chi, why do you want to say it? If you say it, your father will have to disappear when this layer of illusion ends." Xiaolong sat on the children's bed, dangling his two legs, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I Must be in this room?"
Su Chi sat up from the bed and said coldly, "Why are you reluctant to see my jokes with your own eyes?"
Xiaolong stared at Su Chi for a long while, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, threw himself on the bed and laughed loudly, "Hahahahahahaha!"
Su Chi frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
While beating the bed, Xiaolong covered his belly and laughed, "You are so small, and even your voice is like a baby's, but you still want to put on an adult look and tone, isn't it funny? Hahahaha!"
Su Chi lowered her head and noticed that her body in children's pajamas did not return to an adult appearance after her father disappeared. She kicked Xiaolong and said dissatisfiedly, "What good will it do you for me to become like this?"
Xiaolong avoids her childish beating, climbs up to her in two steps, holds her fair and tender face, kisses her cheek hard, and laughs: "This way I can always remind myself, Adults don't remember the mistakes of 'little' people!"
"...boring." Su Chi wiped the saliva off his face with the quilt, jumped out of bed by himself, stepped on soft children's indoor slippers, and said coldly: "Let's go, go and see why that man can't wake up .”
"Okay, okay!" Xiaolong nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.
Su Chi, who was walking in the front, stood on tiptoe and turned the doorknob. The door creaked and was pushed open, and a beam of white light shot into the room from the outside. Su Chi closed her eyes tightly in pain, but she did not stand still, and He just stepped out of his bedroom and came to the unknown world outside.
