Ji Duan looked at Xie Jin fixedly, his eyes full of sincerity, maybe Xie Jin himself didn't realize this, but Ji Duan accompanied Xie Jin from the abandoned paradise until today, it can be said that he watched the man change bit by bit .

He couldn't help but have the memories of the past few days in his mind. Going out, he had little impression of himself and the memory of being alone in the abandoned paradise, where most of the time he spent with Xie Jin was there.

Ji Duan remembered very clearly that at first the man would only run away, like a frightened cub who was hunted and killed before he was involved in the world. This may have something to do with his own stated experience, but now this man will do everything for himself to investigate. curse.

"Why are you laughing?" Xie Jin tried to shrink his neck back, his face still pinched by the young man's hands, "Is there such a big change? Really, it's still outside now, it will be suspected."

"What's the matter, they can't see me anyway." Ji Duan put away his thoughts, took advantage of Xie Jin's hands to get closer to him, pinched the man's cheek when he finally saw some flesh.

The sound of "Bah" was particularly loud, and the sound of the action just now shocked both of them.

Xie Jin was stunned for two seconds, and then his face flushed red. He hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, there were not many people on this old street. In addition, it was still a working day today, so no one could see the absurd scene just now.

"Cough, I've been doing well recently." Ji Duan also realized that he had gone too far, and before Xie Jin made any statement, he raised his leg and walked forward, "Hospital, let's go to the hospital quickly."

The setting sun stretched the young man's shadow very long, Xie Jin stared at a red face for a long time, and then he whispered helplessly: "Wait for me, the shadow is about to be discovered, you have to stand behind me. what."

At half past four, they arrived at the downstairs of Tan Jiang Municipal Children's Hospital. Xie Jin looked at the seven-story building in the inpatient department and was a little dumbfounded: "I don't seem to have told Brother Cheng that I'm coming, and the phone is broken and there is no contact information. …”

He looked at the entrance where there was still a lot of traffic, and sighed deeply, "It seems that I can only find it in the most stupid way."

"Afraid? Because there are too many people?" Ji Duan gently hugged Xie Jin's waist from behind, he lowered his chin slightly, and encouraged in the man's ear, "You can do it, what are you afraid of with me? Besides, we are not Do you still want to visit?"

Xie Jin nodded, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and walked into the emergency room with Ji Duan side by side. The Children's Hospital is more noisy than ordinary hospitals. The sound in the hall is very noisy, and from time to time there will be children's cries coming from a corner.

They walked to the service desk and happened to meet a nurse who was free. The nurse looked up and saw an adult man in Xie Jin carrying a large bag and a small bag, and roughly guessed what he was doing: "Are you visiting a doctor?"

"Hello, I would like to ask where the thirteen children who were urgently sent to rescue this morning live." Perhaps because of the sharp eyes of the nurse, the smile on Xie Jin's face was reluctant, and he did not dare to confront the other party. "I'm one of the rescuers at the scene...I want to come and see them."

"Rescue people?" The nurse looked up and down the frail-looking man in front of her. She was obviously thinking about the authenticity of this sentence. "Do you know those children?"

"Well, I know two of them, the boy's name is Cheng Xin, his father Cheng Zaimin is my friend, and there's a girl named Zhang Xingying, her brother is very familiar with me." Xie Jin explained slightly clumsily, he was afraid that the nurse would not believe him and was busy Lifting up the condolences in his hand, "I'm here to visit them, not the... bad guy."

"Understood, I didn't say you were a bad person." The nurse lowered her eyelids again. She flipped through the booklet recorded on the table and found the list of the thirteen children who were pulled by ambulance in the early morning. "Surgery 24, 3rd Floor, Building B, Inpatient Department Beds and 26, you have to follow the blue line on the ground from there to get to the elevator in the inpatient department."

The nurse put down the book and pointed to the blue line on the ground, "The sky blue line on the left, just follow it to the end."

After thanking the nurse, Xie Jin and Ji Duan walked forward along the sky-blue landmark, passed the parents wandering in the registration hall, and took the elevator leading to the inpatient department on the third floor.

The design of Tan Jiang Municipal Children's Hospital is relatively unique. It turns out to be a circular corridor directly opposite the elevator entrance. Where has Xie Jin been to such a place, he can only pull Ji Duan to continue to look for and ask, after a lot of hard work, he finally arrived. Arrived at the ward where Cheng Xin and Zhang Xingying were.

Before the two could knock on the door, the door of the ward was pushed open from the inside. Zhang Chi was still responding to his father's instructions a second before, and bumped into something the next second.

Some hard, but warm?

Zhang Chi covered his nose and raised his face, and met Xie Jin and Ji Duan, a look of surprise appeared on the tired face of the teenager: "Why are you here!"

"You? Xiao Chi, who's here?" Boss Zhang's voice came from inside the house, but he was the first to see that Xie Jin was not him, but Cheng Zaimin who came out of the bathroom with a basin.

Although Cheng Zaimin looked haggard, he was obviously not as broken as before. After he closed the bathroom door and saw Xie Jin, his eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Xie? Why are you here!"

He didn't even want the basin in his hand for a while, and rushed up to face Xie Jin as a bear hug. Before Xie Jin could respond, Cheng Zaimin actually knelt down in front of Xie Jin with a "pop"!

"I don't know how to thank you. Thanks to you and the Taoist priest, my family Xin Xin can come back safely. I... I don't have much money, but I will never forget this kindness!" It's not hard to see Cheng ZaiminThese words came from the bottom of his heart. Just when he was about to kowtow to Xie Jin in the depths of his love, Xie Jin grabbed him.

"Brother Cheng...don't do this, I didn't do anything." Xie Jin felt that his legs were softening, and he almost knelt down with him subconsciously, "Xin Xin is fine, get up quickly."

Xie Jin sympathized with this honest middle-aged man. He saw the shadow of his past in this person. This is probably because he had been in the rain, so he always wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

But he didn't expect that the honest middle-aged man in front of him who was unwilling to get up was a stubborn one. Cheng Zaimin had to kowtow to Xie Jin when he said anything. Just when the two were arguing, the head nurse took a look at the door." Battle situation," he said.

"What are you doing? This is a hospital, not a normal place. The patients in the ward still need to rest. If there is any noise, I will call the security guard and ask you all out?"

Cheng Zaimin had no choice but to give up, and pulled some Xie Jin to invite him to sit down in front of the hospital bed. Zhang Chi witnessed all this and turned to ask Ji Duan, "Do you know this uncle too?"

"Well, that's a long story." Ji Duan stood leaning against the door frame, the ward was full of Cheng Zaimin's enthusiasm, "His son and your sister live in the same bed, how is your sister?"

"It's better to be able to eat and drink." Zhang Chi glanced at the room, "I guess he was looking at Uncle Xie at this time, so he didn't speak."

"Well." Ji Duan leaned against the door with his hands in his trouser pockets, and then there was no more text. He was like a statue, and the purpose of appearing here was very simple. He was only here to accompany Xie Jin.

Zhang Chi blushed a little, probably because Ji Duan was too cold, and because there were few ghosts who didn't show malice to him, the young man's adolescent heart was restless.

"That, that, brother." He tentatively probed, and after he really called it out, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and his face became even redder with excitement, "You... will we meet again in the future?"

Ji Duan was listening to Xie Jin's speech with his head tilted in every possible way. He turned his face when he heard the question, and met the young man's bright eyes. He almost didn't hesitate and answered, "I don't know, probably not."

"Oh..." The small flame in Zhang Chi's heart seemed to be mercilessly extinguished by a basin of ice water, all his emotions were shown on his face, and Ji Duan couldn't help but laugh.

"But if you place an order to catch ghosts, maybe you can still see them." Ji Duan stuck out a hand from his trousers pocket and rubbed Zhang Chi's hairy little head indiscriminately, "Just like your house. Don't you want to know what's under the locust tree in the community?"

Speaking of the locust tree, Zhang Chi thought of the gray-white foot again, and he couldn't help shivering. He shook his head into a rattle: "I don't want to, I don't want to, that thing is terrible, I don't care at all. I don't want to see it for what it is."

"That thing? But I'm also the thing you said." Ji Duan leaned down and grimaced at the young man, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Brother, you are so handsome!" Zhang Chi's dark face turned red again, and after holding it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any good words to describe it, so he could only say, "Anyway, you are not the same as them! You are prettier than them!"

"Xiao Chi? Who are you talking to, why haven't you gone home yet?" There were sluggish footsteps in the ward. It was Boss Zhang who saw that his son had not come home for a long time to see what was going on.

Zhang Chi stuck out his tongue, waved goodbye to Ji Duan and was about to slip out. He just ran out of the ward before taking a few steps when he was stopped by Ji Duan behind him.

"Kid, wait a minute."

Ji Duan stuck his head out of the open door of the ward, and he waved to Zhang Chi, signaling the boy to come over.

Zhang Chi came over with a face full of doubts. He thought that Ji Duan had some task to explain to himself, so he was full of confidence.

"That one in your community, Wen Liang mentioned it to me when we were chatting." Ji Duan approached the boy's ear mysteriously, and deliberately lowered his voice to speak, "Have you heard of the corpse, under the locust tree in your community? It's that thing."

Zhang Chi's face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes became terrified when he looked at Ji Duan, only to hear Ji Duan say again.

"I heard that that thing is very dangerous. Wen Liang said that it would drag a living person into the soil and suffocate to death, and then absorb the yang energy from that person, so don't play near the locust tree, remember?"

"Remember! I'm not going to kill me!" Leaving these words, Zhang Chi ran away as if fleeing for his life. Ji Duan looked at his back as thin as a little chicken, and grinned again. to the ward.

The stinky boy should have a long memory now.
