Jiang Lan took out the newly bought hat, drew the bed curtain, untied his sun protection jacket and put the hat on him: “Your hair is a little long, I’ll cut it for you when we get back.”
Jiang Chi pursed his lips and said nothing, but his clenched fist hanging at his side loosened a little.
Jiang Lan deliberately bought a hat one size larger. When Jiang Chi put it on, it was just enough to hide the small horn on his forehead. He patted Jiang Chi’s shoulder with satisfaction and asked him to wait in the ward. He went to find the doctor to ask about Crazy Lady Li’s condition and also found a nurse to look after her.
It was relatively easy to find a nurse in the hospital, but the screening process took some time. In the end, the one he chose was a woman in her forties named Zhang, who was kind and patient.
Jiang Lan took the nurse back to the ward. While waiting in line for the elevator to go upstairs, he saw a hospital bed being pushed in front of the operating elevator next door. On the hospital bed lay a young man with a sallow face, with bulging and bloodshot eyes. Both his hands and right foot were fixed to the bed with restraints, and the only free left foot was still in a cast.
His bloodshot eyes were staring in fear, and he kept shouting, “Don’t look at me, don’t look at me…”
Two nurses stood by his side, as if to prevent him from getting too emotional and breaking free from his restraints.
Many people waiting for the elevator looked around curiously.
The nurse also poked her head out to take a look, and muttered to Jiang Lan, “Hey… I saw this guy this morning. He even asked me for directions to the psychiatric department. How come he suddenly went crazy?”
A “ding” sound interrupted her words. The door of the operating elevator next to her opened, and two nurses pushed the patient into the elevator. The closed elevator door blocked other people’s view.
There were many people going up and down the ordinary elevator, so the two waited for a long time before they got on the elevator and returned to the ward.
But before anyone arrived, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the ward, even the head nurse was there.
Jiang Lan frowned and walked over quickly and saw that the mentally ill patient had also been placed in this ward. The head nurse and the nurses were comforting the protesting patient’s family.
Crazy Lady Li lived in an ordinary ward. There were three to four people in one ward. Her bed was at the innermost part. One of the two beds outside was empty, and the other was occupied by an elderly person who had undergone gastric surgery.
The protest was made by the elderly’s family members, who were worried that the new patient’s illness would affect the rest and safety of their own patients.
The head nurse was also embarrassed. She explained to them that the patient had registered for a psychiatric consultation, but after coming out of the clinic, he suddenly became ill for some reason. He ran downstairs while yelling “Don’t look at me” and ended up falling down the stairs and breaking his leg. He could only be temporarily arranged to stay in a general ward and transferred to a special ward after his leg injury healed.
At this time, the patient’s parents, who had completed the hospitalization procedures, also arrived. The couple begged and made assurances, promising that someone would watch over him 24 hours a day and that he would never hurt anyone, before the dispute was finally settled.
The new patient stayed in the bed near the door. The nurse gave him an injection of tranquilizer. He stopped shouting and just stared blankly with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Lan passed by with the nurse, took another look, and after thinking about it, he asked the nurse to pay more attention in case the patient really fell ill and hurt the elderly.
After everything was arranged, he took Jiang Chi home.
Jiang Chi was holding his hand, his pair of dark eyes hidden under the brim of his hat, looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly.
In order to help him find the way, Jiang Lan took him back by bus.
When they got home, Jiang Lan first released Suan Ni and Jiao Tu, and then took Jiang Chi to the bathroom to take a bath.
Jiang Chi was extremely dirty, and his hair was long and messy, not much better than a bird’s nest. It would be a huge undertaking to clean him.
Suan Ni and Jiao Tu curiously leaned over the bathroom door to look; “Who is this?”
Seeing a cat speak with his own eyes, Jiang Chi tensed his back nervously, his thin back almost touching the wall.
“The new brother is called Jiang Chi.” Jiang Lan paused and said, “He will probably stay at home for a while. Don’t bully him.”
Suan Ni said “Oh” and was quite happy: “I have a younger brother, so my generation is older, right?”
Jiang Lan responded perfunctorily and said to Jiao Tu, “I haven’t had time to buy him clothes yet, so let him wear yours first?”
He looked at Jiang Chi’s small body and said, “It may be a little big, so wear it for now and we’ll buy new in a few days.”
Jiao Tu transformed into his human form, smiled at Jiang Chi in a friendly manner, and said, “I’ll go get the clothes.”
After saying that, he turned and went to the bedroom, leaving only Suan Ni squatting at the door, looking at the new member curiously.
Seeing this scene, although Jiang Chi tried his best to appear calm, his hands hanging by his side were still clenched nervously, and his dark eyes were fixed on Suan Ni, very alert.
Jiang Lan noticed his nervousness, rubbed his back, and soothed him, “They are the same as you.”
He tapped the little corner on his forehead and pointed at the Suan Ni who was looking around curiously.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Jiang Chi subconsciously touched the corner of his forehead, then loosened his hand as if he had received an electric shock, lowered his eyes and said nothing. His tense body gradually relaxed under Jiang Lan’s comfort.
Jiao Tu brought the clothes, and Jiang Lan locked Suan Ni outside the door when he tried to come in to play in the water. It took him nearly two hours to wash the dirty little cub clean inside and out.
The messy hair was cut short, revealing the small corners on the forehead and the clean eyebrows and eyes; the sharp nails were cut short and washed… and then changed into clean clothes, it looked like a somewhat thin but very beautiful cub.
Before, Jiang Chi always kept his head down, with most of his face covered by his hair, so Jiang Lan never saw what he looked like. Now that he was dressed neatly, he couldn’t help but admire Jiang Chi’s delicate features. The only flaw was that his complexion was a little off due to long-term malnutrition.
Jiang Lan praised him generously, and even Jiao Tu and Suan Ni agreed.
Jiang Chi stood with his hands down uncomfortably. He had never been so neat before. The cut hair and nails also made him feel insecure. But he looked at the three smiling faces opposite him, and strangely he was not angry. He curled his fingers, pursed his lips, and said stiffly: “What do I have to do?”
Jiang Lan did not expose his discomfort and said with a smile: “I will go to prepare the contract. Your task now is to play with them.”
He pointed at Suan Ni and Jiao Tu and said, “Remember to be polite and call them brother.”
