As the temperature dropped, the sky darkened faster and faster, and it was completely dark around seven o'clock.

Pay attention to ventilation in the ward, so the window is not closed tightly, and a crack is opened.There was a pot of begonias on the window sill. Aunt Li, who was taking care of Lin Peiyang, walked over and wanted to take down the pot of flowers. Zhao Yixin called out: "Sister, just put it there, it's okay."

Aunt Li didn't say anything, just nodded and walked away.Zhao Yixin smiled at her gratefully, and her eyes fell on Lin Peiyang. He was doing his homework. Although he didn't go to school, he couldn't let go of his studies. Self-study to the extent of copying new characters and memorizing ancient poems was still possible. Sometimes he I will also study with Zhou Boxan.

Lin Peiyang was keenly aware of her gaze, and tilted his head to give her a big smile. Zhao Yixin looked away as if she had been electrocuted.

This child must have been brought up in a loving family, rich both financially and spiritually.Children raised in such a family will be so generous and kind.Bo Yan should also grow up enjoying love in this way. It was that cruel and ruthless father who caused the current situation...it was also her stupid and useless mother who caused all this.

As soon as the child was born, Zhao Yixin discovered Zhou Lukang's true face, but she seemed to be blindfolded by something, insisted on refusing to divorce, and even tried to get him back. She kept condemning Zhou Lukang for so many years of indifference, but she was desperate for herself Children are equally neglected.

At first she wanted to marry Zhou Lukang because she was pregnant. He accepted the proposal very calmly and said, "I hope you know that I didn't marry you because of this child. I don't care about children." She also stupidly Thinking it was a declaration of love, she was different from those women who married with children, but in the end she found that Zhou Lukang really didn't care about the children, but he didn't care about her, let alone this marriage.

Can she still be remedied?Will her children give her a chance at redemption?Zhao Yixin sat blankly beside Zhou Boyan's hospital bed, her tears seemed to have dried up, her dry eyes were open, like a walking corpse.

After sitting for some time, Zhao Yixin came to her senses and wiped her stiff face. There was silence outside the bed curtain. Zhou Boyan had already fallen asleep. Looking at the time, it was past one o'clock in the morning.She picked up the kettle, feeling light in her hands, there was no water in it, Zhao Yixin stood up holding the kettle, and walked out of the ward.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Boyan suddenly opened his eyes, he closed his lips tightly, and let out a rapid breathing sound from his nasal cavity. The moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to have forgotten all the nightmare, but the shock he received was not weakened in the slightest.He nervously rolled his eyes to look for Zhao Yixin, but his mother was not there, everyone was separated by the bed curtain, and he was left alone in this dead corner.

Tears of fear filled the eye sockets, and quickly filled up after rolling. All the voices were choked in the throat, as if they were real, making people unable to breathe.Only the bed curtain could be seen in the blurred vision, Zhou Boyan stared at Lin Peiyang's direction, longing for him to be like before, taking advantage of his mother's absence, secretly lifted the bed curtain with a sly smile and made faces to make him laugh.

A black shadow gradually appeared, someone was standing outside the bed curtain, his shadow was blurred on the light blue bed curtain, like a stain that could not be wiped off.The person shook slightly, Zhou Boyan stared in horror, his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't turn his face away, even his eyeballs couldn't move, he could only stare at the slowly moving black figure.

The man who kept telling him about death appeared again, each time, each time, the night before it happened.Why?Is it to scare him?He was really scared, afraid to hear from that population that he would be the next person to die!

Only the sound of his rapid breathing remained in Zhou Boyan's ears, but his lungs seemed to be paralyzed, and he couldn't feel the intake of fresh air. He kept breathing, but the feeling of lack of oxygen became stronger and stronger.The oxygen mask was on a nearby table, close at hand, but he couldn't get it.

The figure stopped shaking, he stretched out his hand, and the shadow projected on the bed curtain was stretched slender, Zhou Boyan couldn't make out where he was pointing, but his words clearly pierced through the rapid and anxious breathing Passed to the ears: "He will die, he will die..."

Who, who will die?Zhou Boyan tried his best to close his eyelids tightly and squeeze out the tears that blurred his vision. He repeatedly identified that the person was referring to Lin Peiyang next to him.

No, that's his friend. Zhou Boxan's courage came from somewhere, and his voice broke through his throat: "Go away!"

After that cry, the blurry black shadow gradually faded and disappeared.The sound was so loud that Zhou Boxan himself was startled, but there was no sound around him, as if it didn't wake anyone up.Zhou Boyan breathed a sigh of relief, his body seemed to be able to move, he turned his sore neck and turned his head back.

A dark face was reflected in his pupils, Zhou Boyan was so frightened that he suffocated instantly, his eyes widened to the extreme, his hands and feet were as cold as a stone statue.

The black figure in hospital gown stood beside Zhou Boyan's bed, bent at [-] degrees, so close that almost all of his eyes were that face.

He said in a low hoarse voice, "Just tonight."

The moment the voice fell, the face disappeared, but the voice kept echoing in his mind.Zhou Boxan finally couldn't restrain himself and cried loudly.

Zhao Yixin filled the boiling water and walked into the ward. She bent down and put the kettle on the ground. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of someone walking in behind her and walked to the window.The sound of the potted plants rubbing against the metal window frame was heard, and Zhao Yixin moved her eyes a little to the window. A nurse turned her back and was taking down the potted plants.

Zhao Yixin was a little anxious: "Miss Nurse, please don't touch this potted flower..."

The nurse turned around, showing a fair and beautiful face. She smiled: "Growing flowers and plants is indeed good for the patient's body and mind, but don't put them in such a dangerous place as the window sill. There are people coming and going below, so if you accidentally touch them It won’t be good if it falls off, I’ll just put it here.” She said, placing the begonia on the floor directly under the window.

Zhao Yixin stared at the potted flower, even though she cared a lot, she couldn't say anything.Zhou Boxan's cry suddenly came from inside the bed curtain, Zhao Yixin's heart tightened, and she quickly opened the bed curtain to check the situation, only to see her son crying and throwing herself into her arms, crying until she couldn't speak.

Aunt Li was awakened by the sound of crying. Seeing the voices of the mother and child, she felt pitiful and did not stop her. She just turned to check Lin Peiyang's situation.Lin Pei moved, but he didn't seem to wake up. Aunt Li touched his arm, the skin under his palm was a little cold, and he slept soundly.Aunt Li lay down again, and Lin Peiyang suddenly trembled all over, his hands and feet twitched, very similar to the seizures of epileptic patients.

Aunt Li was completely awake in fright, and quickly called the nurse next to her: "Nurse, nurse! He's having another attack!"

The nurse was very calm, and immediately stepped forward and stuffed a small square towel into Lin Peiyang's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue: "There is a doctor on duty in the nurse's station on the first floor. I will take him to the doctor."

Zhou Boyan, who had stopped crying, suddenly became excited when he heard these words, struggling to pull Lin Peiyang in Zhao Yixin's arms: "Don't! Don't take him away!"

Zhao Yixin quickly stopped him: "What's wrong? Peiyang needs a doctor now, what are you doing?"

"No, no!" Zhou Boyan was a little incoherent, not knowing what to say, so anxious to cry.

The nurse had already picked up Lin Peiyang. She didn't know where the strength came from, and picked up a ten-year-old child in a plaster cast. Zhao Yixin was a little flustered, and quickly stood up holding Zhou Boxan: "I, I will go with you too , children are reluctant to part with friends, so I will follow to see."

As soon as her words came out, the nurse looked straight at her, and suddenly smiled: "Yes."

Zhao Yixin didn't dare to look at her, she moved her eyes in a panic to avoid it, but saw the badge hanging on her chest.There was the nurse's name and photo on it, perhaps because of the dim light, the photo looked faded, and her name was written underneath - Huo Ai.

Huo Ai hugged Lin Peiyang and walked out the door. Her speed was very fast, almost trotting. Zhao Yixin reluctantly followed behind her, and Aunt Li followed closely behind.

They walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the button, but the elevator stopped at the first floor, Huo Ai made a decisive decision: "I can't wait anymore, take the stairs."

Huo Ai turned around and ran towards the stairs, Zhao Yixin gritted her teeth and followed, but her arm holding Zhou Boxan became heavier and heavier, even if the child was seriously ill and lost weight suddenly, it would still be tens of catties.Even she felt tired. Lin Peiyang was a healthy child, and the plaster cast on his leg weighed nearly ten kilograms, but Huo Ai didn't seem to feel it at all, and kept switching his feet as he walked down the stairs, his steps still light.

This is wrong, Zhao Yixin barely moved her heavy legs, they didn't know how many stairs they had descended, how could they not reach the first floor?They didn't see anyone or hear other voices along the way, and Aunt Li behind her didn't know when she disappeared.Huo Ai's footsteps going downstairs did not slow down for a moment, Zhao Yixin hesitated and stopped, wondering if she should follow.

Her nerves were tense all the time, her whole body was under a heavy burden, and she had been working with overload. When she stopped, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up. She sat on the steps and gave up following.Zhou Boyan watched Huo Ai lead Lin Peiyang away gradually, and broke away from Zhao Yixin's grasp in panic: "No, you can't take him away, you can't!"

Zhao Yixin really had no strength, so she didn't hold her hand, Zhou Boyan walked a few steps while holding on to the handle, looked back at Zhao Yixin, and chased forward without looking back.

Tears welled up suddenly, Zhao Yixin's legs couldn't use any strength, she grabbed the handrails and wanted to pull herself up, but she tried so hard that her fingers turned bloody, but she barely stood up, and she couldn't even straighten her legs .Zhao Yixin leaned forward, strode forward with one leg, stepped on the next step, she slowly let out a breath, and slowly let go of her hand.

The next moment, her legs were as limp as two unsupported soft bodies, and she rolled down the stairs with her heavy body, hitting the tiles filled with the smell of disinfectant heavily.

She smelled blood, but in her eyes and mind, there was only the scene of Zhou Boyan breaking away from her hand and disappearing from sight without looking back.

Despair overwhelmed her, she was like a person drowning in terribly clear water, she could see the bottom through the clear water when she opened her eyes, she thought she could step on the ground and be rescued, but she exhausted all methods and was dying After struggling countless times, I still couldn't touch it.

Finally, when I exhausted my strength, I realized that I was actually so far away from the bottom of the water.

Zhou Boyan ran very fast, this was the first time he had done such strenuous exercise since he fell ill, he felt a bloody smell in his throat, but he didn't stop, and quickly chased after Huo Ai.Zhou Boyan didn't know if it was his illusion, after he followed, Huo Ai's pace slowed down, she slowly stepped down the last step, turned around and walked towards the corridor.

Zhou Boxan was sweating and followed behind her panting.He followed tenaciously, even though his heart was full of fear, even though his whole body began to ache.

Huo Ai walked to the end of the corridor, pushed open the closed door with one free hand, walked in, and the white door closed again.

In Zhou Boxan's eyes, those pale lips were the lips of a dead man, and they swallowed Lin Peiyang.Trembling with fear, Zhou Boyan still insisted on walking forward and pushed open the door.

There was no monster he imagined inside the door, the lights were dim, and there was only a hospital bed with an iron frame. Lin Peiyang was placed on that bed, but the nurse who brought him in was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Boxan rushed over quickly, shaking Lin Peiyang's arm: "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Lin Peiyang opened his eyes in a daze, and saw his little friend regained consciousness with a panicked expression on his face. He comforted him and asked, "Where is this place?"

Zhou Boyan sobbed: "I don't know. A sister nurse took you away, and my mother took me to follow, but my mother couldn't walk anymore. I chased you here alone. I don't know where this is."

Lin Peiyang dragged his plastered leg and climbed down from the bed: "It's okay, let's go together, just go back the same way, your mother must still be waiting for us there."

Hearing Lin Peiyang mention Zhao Yixin, Zhou Boyan nodded, and walked to the door supporting each other.

The closer you get to the tightly closed door, the more you feel that the door is tall and heavy, and the feeling of oppression hits your face, enough to crush two ants.Zhou Boyan reached out to grab the cold metal doorknob, his fingertips touched the icy cold, his hand trembled a little, he gritted his teeth and was about to pull hard, but a woman's voice came from behind——

"Little friend, be good, don't run around."

Lin Peiyang wanted to turn around, Zhou Boyan opened the door, and pulled Lin Peiyang's hand vigorously with the other hand: "Don't talk to her!"

The door was opened, there was no light in the corridor, and the whole corridor was dark blue, and the two little patients walked away quickly, supporting each other.Lin Peiyang couldn't control his curiosity and glanced back. The lights in the room were also off. A nurse in a white dress stood at the door, holding a bright silver tray in his hand, quietly watching their direction.

Lin Peiyang suddenly turned his head, trying to drag his right leg forward, mom!I'm so scared!

He went up to the third floor, but he didn't see Zhao Yixin on the stairs. Zhou Boyan ran to the corner of the stairs and looked down, but he didn't see anything.Lin Peiyang comforted: "Let's go back and see, your mother may have gone back."

Zhou Boyan hesitated for a moment, staring at the downstairs, suddenly a pale hand with plaques rested on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor, Zhou Boyan let out a cry of surprise, and pulled Lin Peiyang to run towards Room [-].

They rushed into the door, and the people on the other two beds were sleeping soundly, completely covered by the quilt, and the hospital bed belonging to them was empty, Zhao Yixin and Aunt Li were not there.They hid on Zhou Boyan's hospital bed, and wrapped the bed curtain tightly so that they could not see the outside at all, so they felt at ease.Lin Peiyang covered his chest with one hand, panting, and held his little patient with the other hand. They can only rely on each other now.

When Lin Peiyang calmed down, he heard Zhou Boyan sobbing softly. He knew that Zhou Boyan was worried about his mother, but it was too scary outside, what could they do?

Suddenly, a faint warm yellow light shone from the left side. The two children became vigilant, and they leaned closer to each other. Someone approached with a bright object. The cluster of light wobbled like a candle.They could only guess, they couldn't see anything clearly through the curtains.

The man placed the candles outside the curtain, took out another one from his pocket, lit it, and put it half a meter away, and surrounded the bed one by one like this.

Lin Peiyang covered his mouth to keep himself from screaming. That person was definitely not Zhou Boxan's mother or Aunt Li. What did he want to do?

It was the first time that Gu Su was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone in the middle of the night, and he didn't realize what happened to the thing making the sound in front of him at the first time. There were really too few people calling him—almost none.

He picked it up and looked at the screen for a few seconds before remembering to answer the phone. Before he started talking, the crying of the woman on the other end of the phone had already been heard. She seemed to be restraining herself, but her speech was still intermittent: " Mr. Gu...please help me, my son...and Peiyang are missing..."

Gu Su immediately got up and got dressed: "Ms. Zhao?"

"Mr. Gu, please, please come quickly..."

After the other party finished saying this sentence, the call was cut off immediately. Gu Su put down the phone, dressed as quickly as possible, jumped out of the window, and hurried to the hospital.

Arriving at the hospital in 10 minutes was already fast, but Gu Su was still a little flustered. He paused when he reached the second floor of the inpatient department, and quickly continued to walk up.In the dark corridor, only room [-] was lit with a little yellow light. When Gu Su rushed over, a man wrapped in an airtight body was squatting on the ground and drawing a magic circle. When the magic circle was nearly completed, all the candles A dazzling light burst out.

"Stop!" Gu Su shouted, rushed forward to push that person away, turned around and swept the candles in front of him to the ground, the soaring light dimmed instantly.The man paused for a moment when he saw Gu Su's appearance clearly, and soon raised his hand to fight back. The formation was only a little short of the last point, how could it be hindered by him!

"Boyan! Boyan!" Zhao Yixin called out anxiously. She rushed into the room, knocked out all the candles, opened the bed curtain and hugged Zhou Boyan, who was crying for his mother, in her arms. The mother and son cried together. group.Zhao Yixin's face was still bloody, and there was a wound on her head. It looked like she had fallen hard before.

The man put down his hands, stood there alone, looked at everything in front of him indifferently, and spoke before Gu Su realized that she was a woman. She said to Zhao Yixin, "Are you regretting it again?"

Zhao Yixin cried and shook her head: "I regret it, I regret it!"

The woman said annoyedly: "Look at you, you are so weak and repetitive. The current situation is completely caused by yourself. You are a tragedy, and you have harmed your son, tortured him at a young age, To die early..."

Zhao Yixin suddenly became fierce, and she shouted: "Yes! I hurt my son, so I regret it! I shouldn't hurt others anymore, and I shouldn't have involved Lin Peiyang!"

Zhou Boyan listened to their conversation in disbelief, and was so shocked by the content of the words that he couldn't speak. He turned to look at Lin Peiyang, and saw his confused and astonished face.

"It's late, it's the last step. I must complete it. This is the last step of my verification..." The woman drew out a knife and walked a few steps forward. Zhao Yixin hugged Zhou Boyan tightly and looked at Gu Su as if asking for help. Su, however, seemed to have lost his soul, standing there numbly, without moving.

A cold and blue hand was held on the woman's wrist. The nurse in a white dress stood behind the woman and said softly, "Please don't use controlled knives in the hospital, it's very dangerous."

The woman frowned, and hit a talisman on her body with her backhand: "Mind your own business."

Zhao Yixin suddenly yelled at Gu Su, hugged Zhou Boxan and ran out. Gu Su was awakened by her cry, and immediately picked up Lin Peiyang and ran out.

Zhao Yixin plucked up the courage to go out with the child in her arms, but she didn't know where to escape. Instead, Gu Su had a clear escape route in his mind, and said to follow him, and ran to the stairs.

The child in her arms was no longer as heavy as before, and Zhao Yixin's footsteps remained steady, following closely behind Gu Su.She hugged Zhou Boyan, crying and laughing again: "Boyan, mom won't let you go this time."

Going down to the first floor, Gu Su ran straight to the white door at the end of the corridor, Zhou Boyan saw that they had returned to that door again, and grabbed Zhao Yixin's clothes nervously.But when Gu Su rushed to open the door, light came out from inside, Zhou Boyan put his arms around Zhao Yixin's neck, and ran behind the door.

In the familiar corridor, the lights are still dim, but there is no such spooky atmosphere.Zhou Boyan looked back, the door they just passed through was just an ordinary utility room.

Aunt Li waited anxiously in the ward. When she saw Gu Su coming back with Lin Peiyang in her arms, she screamed and ran over to hug him in her arms, chanting the blessings of the Bodhisattva.

Zhou Boyan sat on the bed. After a while, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The pain made him cry out, and fell on the bed. The hospital gown was drenched with sweat in a short while.Zhao Yixin pressed the emergency bell in a panic, and the doctors and nurses came quickly, carried him to the portable ambulance bed, and pushed him out of the ward.

It was not very smooth when going downstairs. The elevator specially used to transport the ambulance bed seemed to be used, and it took a long time for the elevator to come up.

Zhou Boxan was rushed to the operating room, Zhao Yixin was sitting outside the operating room, Gu Su was standing against the wall, Aunt Li couldn't refuse Lin Peiyang's request and brought him here.Lin Peiyang prevented Aunt Li from following, moved to Gu Su's side alone, and whispered, "Uncle, can you not tell anyone what happened today?"

Gu Sumuran looked over, and Lin Peiyang said nervously, "I still want my aunt to help Boyan pay for the surgery."

Gu Su nodded, and really didn't have the energy to say another word.

The door of the operating room opened suddenly, Zhou Boyan poked his head out, Zhao Yixin looked over sharply, faced the result she had expected, smiled and opened his arms, waiting for his son to throw himself into her arms.Zhou Boyan's joy comes from the heart, and her joy is also the joy of complete liberation.

Lin Peiyang stared at the closed door of the operating room, raised his head and asked Aunt Li, "Auntie, when will the operation end?"

Aunt Li relaxed after being overly nervous. She had already notified Lin Peiyang's parents. Everything will be discussed when they come. After she was relieved, her sleepiness returned. She thought for a while: "There are still a few hours, your parents It will come soon, let's go back first, it will be dawn soon."

Lin Peiyang asked again: "Where did Boyan's mother go? As soon as we came out of the door, I didn't see her."

Aunt Li shook her head: "How would I know, let's go and say goodbye to uncle."

Lin Peiyang immediately raised his smiling face and waved to Gu Su: "Goodbye, uncle."

Gu Su nodded: "Goodbye."

He was going back too, and there was only one sentence left in Gu Su's mind, other than that it was blank.

He recognized the woman's voice.

She is Su Yu.
