“Speak… human… language…”

Boss Zhou cleared his throat and said earnestly in human language:

“h…………i…………v…………”

“…………” Ying Gou.

There is still no accurate explanation for the origin of AIDS. It is said that a busybody went to have his way with a chimpanzee.

This sounds a bit bizarre, but in reality, it's not that uncommon, such as with horses, dogs, sheep…

It can be said that humanity is always so full of imagination on the road to taming them to serve itself.

Or rather, humanity's pursuit in that area, in terms of dedication and boldness, is no less than that of scientists who dedicate their lives to frontline research units.

For example,

When Zhou Ze was a doctor in his previous life, he received many emergency patients who had eggplants, cucumbers, and various plastic and rubber products removed from their front and back;

Some were so large that Zhou Ze, as a doctor, had to marvel at the wonders of the human body.

“It’s just a virus, can we use some other way to give her a healthy body again?”

“Life… and… death… are… preordained…”

“Why don’t you just tell me that if King Yama wants you to die at midnight, who would dare keep you until dawn?”

This was a very cold rhetorical question,

Because the King Yama in this proverb

Had already eaten one and killed another.

Ying Gou didn't reply, seemingly having gone to sleep, or perhaps continuing to eavesdrop from the side.

Boss Zhou couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, AIDS has a relatively long incubation period, generally eight or nine years without any problems. During this time, Doctor Lin can live like a normal person, only needing to pay extra attention to some lifestyle and communication details.

But if the old Taoist was the kind who had lived to be over seventy, carefree and open, and could therefore face death calmly, Doctor Lin actually had this kind of mentality as well, which really surprised Zhou Ze.

All of this happened was not her fault, but she was a fuse, a passive fuse.

Of all she did, the two out-of-line things were refusing to share a bed with Xu Le after marriage, but now there are legal grounds for that, with the emergence of "marital rape," isn't there?

And the other thing was buying Zhou Ze's house after Zhou Ze died, which is also easy to explain. In the past few years, the housing prices were so hot, why not buy a house at the bottom?

Although Zhou Ze died in a car accident, he wasn't murdered or committed suicide in the house, so it can't be considered a haunted house.

Moreover, the Chinese have always had an attitude of "borrowing for death but not for life" when it comes to real estate, meaning that if a tenant dies in your house from illness, that's no problem, but if you have a baby in my house, that's too improper.

Zhou Ze repeatedly scratched his hair with his fingers.

Boss Zhou pursed his lips.

He knew that his attitude towards Doctor Lin wasn’t love, not exactly, not so much like, but he still hoped that she could live well.

He looked up,

And Boss Zhou was suddenly stunned.

The lunar halo tonight was very large,

Like a huge and glowing straw hat set on the moon.

However, the edge of this straw hat seemed to be dyed with a faint layer of blood.

Boss Zhou wasn't an astronomy enthusiast, nor did he have anything to do with astronomical experts, but he instinctively felt that today's moon seemed a little strange.

He raised his hand

And "touched" the moon,

Seeming to want to wipe away the blood color at the edge,

But obviously,

This action seemed very foolish.

Soon,

Boss Zhou also realized that he was being a bit silly,

Turned around, took out two cans of beer from his arms, opened one, and took a sip.

He had brought this beer specifically, thinking of drowning his sorrows with Doctor Lin, but without any intention of taking advantage of her vulnerability.

But Doctor Lin was much more optimistic and cheerful than he had imagined,

So,

Now only Boss Zhou was left to drown his sorrows alone.

…………

“Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, what a big cake up there.”

The old Taoist sat with the little monkey on his shoulders,

The grandfather and grandson looked up at the moon together.

The old Taoist also held a mooncake in his hand, a five-kernel one.

It was still early for eating mooncakes, but you could still buy them if you wanted to.

Perhaps young people really weren't interested in mooncakes, even if they added ice cream or matcha flavor, they were still unenthusiastic.

Only those who have experienced those difficult times understand what kind of delicious enjoyment a mooncake meant back then.

“Alright, let’s go wash up and go to sleep.”

The old Taoist patted his hand,

And the little monkey on his shoulder also patted its paw.

One man and one monkey went into the bathroom,

Oh,

Right,

The bookstore had designed and renovated a cubicle on the second floor into a bathroom.

The original large bathroom on the first floor became the boss's private one. It was really stressful to share a bathroom with a severe germaphobe, especially when that patient was your boss.

The old Taoist squeezed toothpaste on his toothbrush,

And the little monkey next to him stood on the edge of the sink, picked up its own special little toothbrush, and squeezed toothpaste on it as well.

The old Taoist picked up his large porcelain cup, and the little monkey picked up its cartoon cup.

One man and one monkey took a big mouthful of water,

Gurgle gurgle gurgle…

Ptooey!

Start brushing!

After washing up,

The old Taoist touched the little monkey's head,

“You go back to the room first, I’m going to take a dump.”

The little monkey scurried out of the bathroom.

The old Taoist lowered the toilet seat and sat down.

As people get older, digestion will inevitably have some problems, and the old Taoist's body only looks strong on the outside, but on the inside, it really can't compare to before.

In the past year, the frequency of going out to comfort young women has also decreased. In the past, it was no problem to comfort them seven or eight times a day, but now it's only four or five times.

Alas,

You can't refuse to admit that you're getting old.

After finishing,

The old Taoist got up,

First looked back at the filth he had just excreted,

And then pressed the flush button.

“Creak…”

Huh?

No water,

Or is it broken?

…………

Qing didn't know whether the moon was beautiful tonight.

Living in a narrow ward,

You can't see the moon outside.

Of course,

Qing wasn't interested in moon gazing.

A big shot in the enforcement team had been sitting in this ward for a year, which was unimaginable in the past, but it really happened.

The changes in hell and the subsequent barriers were one reason;

But the main reason was the old man who lived in the bookstore next door,

Who came to check the room three times a day, 365 days a year, rain or shine.

Since she didn't know where to go, she might as well stay here.

It wasn't about cultivating her mind and character here, just a helpless choice made in a helpless environment, and therefore having to endure a helpless wait.

Originally,

Qing kept her eyes closed.

She would occasionally communicate now, such as when Fang Fang came to deliver food, or when the old Taoist came to check the room.

But at other times, she was too lazy to communicate, and also too lazy to open her eyes.

For example, with the person in the next bed, she had always been too lazy to pay attention to him.

Of course,

That person was still unconscious and wouldn't bother her anymore.

In the first few days, sleeping in the bed next to him, you could even smell a faint aroma of barbecue, which motivated her to run away for half a year, but he couldn't help it first.

Then,

There almost wasn't a then.

Qing didn't hate this fellow patient in the next bed; she just ignored him.

In her position, with her experience, she had seen many proud children of heaven, and those who often claimed to be invincible would soon fall quickly, either disappearing completely or becoming ordinary.

Gou Xin often liked to tell Qing that he had been touched on the head by an immortal when he was a child to show his extraordinary nature,

But lying here for a year,

And now this is his fate,

Qing really didn't know what was special about him,

Was it… particularly unlucky?

“Drip… drip… drip…”

There seemed to be the sound of water dripping.

Qing wasn't a very sensitive person, but at this time, not knowing which faucet hadn't been turned off tightly, the dripping sound was so clear.

She opened her eyes,

Looking at the wall in front of her,

For a moment,

The air began to become oppressive, as if mixed with a strong water vapor.

Tongcheng was located in the Yangtze River Delta region, which couldn't compare with the sultry and humid climate of Guangzhou, but at this time, it felt as if this ward could almost "drown" people.

A somewhat hunched shadow appeared on the wall in front of her.

The shadow looked like an old man,

The old man slowly walked from one end of the wall to the other,

This feeling,

Was like watching a shadow play.

The layout of the ward was like this: near the door were the beds of Qing's two companions, then Qing's, and Gou Xin's was at the innermost part against the wall.

At this time,

The old man's shadow had come to the innermost part.

Qing just watched all this happen with her eyes open,

She didn't speak,

Appearing very calm.

She saw the old man's shadow slowly peel off the wall,

She saw the old man's dark figure slowly walking towards Gou Xin's bed,

She saw the old man stop at the head of Gou Xin's bed,

She saw the old man raise his hand,

She saw the old man's hand touching Gou Xin's head.

“Pooh!”

Just as the old man's hand was about to touch Gou Xin's head,

This clear sound suddenly came from the air.

The old man's hand, which was just about to touch down, seemed to be sucked up by a force,

His hand

Was lifted up again.

Then,

The old man continued to move his hand down,

“Pooh!”

Again this sound,

The old man's hand was lifted up again.

The old man continued to put his hand down,

“Pooh!”

Lift up,

Put down,

“Pooh!”

Lift up,

Put down,

“Pooh!”

Lift up…………

Qing felt like she was watching an old movie that was constantly looping and skipping.

…………

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, why hasn't this toilet been unclogged yet!”

In the bookstore's bathroom,

The old Taoist was panting heavily, obviously exhausted,

But he immediately picked up the toilet plunger again and pressed it down!

“Pooh!”
