"Oops." The woman gritted her teeth anxiously, looked at me and said, "Chen, ah no, Xiao An, right? I'll just love you once, how about you come with me to my house to have a look?"
Judging from her expression, she looked like a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor.
I said even more depressedly: "If you don't believe me, find someone else. I don't have time to go to your house. Someone will ask me for divination tomorrow."
While I didn't want to have anything to do with her son, I also flattered myself and promoted my worth.
"This..." The woman became even more anxious after hearing this, and kept begging me, saying that her son might not survive.
My grandma has no choice but to say that I am her son's only hope for survival.
I remained unmoved.
Finally, my grandma saw that this woman was about to kneel down, so she looked at me and said, "Xiao An, why don't you go over and have a look?"
In fact, for me personally, I really like to see things for others, and it is my interest to be exposed to many strange things, but I hate people who don't trust me.
But grandma has spoken, and I don’t want to go against grandma’s wishes, so I said, “Okay, my grandma has said it, so I’ll go with you myself. You tell me what’s wrong with your son first?”
"Okay, that's great." When the woman heard this, she was grasping at straws and said quickly: "I can't explain a word or two. Xiao An, how about you go to my house with your aunt now? Let's talk on the way. .”
"Now?" I looked at the time, and it was already past four o'clock. It gets dark very early in the Northeast, and it was completely dark at 5:30. She was too impatient.
I asked her to tell me the address and I would go directly there tomorrow morning. However, the woman was very anxious, saying that her son's life was very important and she was afraid something might happen. She didn't want to delay for a minute and prayed that I would go with her now.
Grandma looked at me and said, "Xiao An, just go there, life is at stake."
I glanced at He Huanhuan, sighed helplessly, and then looked at the woman and said, "Okay, I'll go with you now."
"Hey, that's great, great, let's go now." Upon hearing this, the woman took her bag and walked out.
"Huanhuan, wait for me at home. I'll be back tomorrow." After I told He Huanhuan, I wanted to tell my grandma what I heard from Guo Meiqi and ask her to protect He Huanhuan.
But the woman walked out in a hurry, and I didn't have time.
"Brother An, you go ahead. I'll wait for you at home." He Huanhuan patted me on the shoulder and looked at me reluctantly.
"Go, Xiao An, Huanhuan is fine at home, don't worry about it." Grandma waved to me.
"Okay, I'll go first." After agreeing to my grandma, I picked up some tools and followed the woman out of the house.
After exiting the alley, I walked towards the bus station, but was pulled to the other side by a woman.
I was confused and just about to ask, when I saw a black Jetta car parked in the distance, its paint surface reflecting light, as if it had just been purchased.
The woman chuckled and said, "I just bought the car half a year ago. Let's take the car back to town."
"Yes." I nodded and asked, "What's your last name? What should I call you?"
"Haha." The woman chuckled and said, "My name is Tian Yurong. You can just call me Aunt Tian. My son's surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Xiangfei."
When mentioning her son, Tian Yurong looked sad and sighing again.
After getting into the passenger seat of the Jetta, the car was filled with the unique smell of a middle-aged woman. I don't know if it was her body smell or the perfume she sprayed. It smelled weird, but it was slightly exciting.
There was a photo frame placed on the front panel of the car, which contained a photo of Tian Yurong and Xu Xiangfei. Judging from his son's age, it should have been taken when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
But his father was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey." Tian Yurong looked at the photo and sighed: "I'm not afraid to tell you that my husband died in an accident when my son was in elementary school. For so many years, I have never found a man for my son. "
Tian Yurong started the car as she spoke, her voice choked up, "Hey, my son and I have been dependent on each other for so many years. He is my lifeblood and everything. If something happens to him, I will, I will..."
"Aunt Tian, don't be sad." I looked at her and asked curiously: "Can you tell me about your son's condition now? I will definitely try my best to help him."
Although Tian Yurong didn't trust me, which made me feel disgusted, now that I know the tragic situation of her family, I shed tears again, and my heart softens.
"Hey, strictly speaking, this matter started three years ago. I really regret that I didn't listen to your grandma when I met her four years ago. Otherwise, my son might not be so serious now." Tian Yurong's voice was choked again, and she looked at the road in the distance in front of the car window and said leisurely.
"Three years ago, I felt something was wrong with my son. At that time, he was not that serious. He was listless all day long. I didn't take it too seriously at first. I just thought he didn't have a good rest. But later..."
According to Tian Yurong's description, at first Xu Xiangfei was listless all day long, as if he hadn't woken up, and later developed to the point of being taciturn. Sometimes he even sat on the bed alone and talked to himself, as if talking to the air.
Only then did Tian Yurong realize the seriousness of the problem, but she didn't think about it in other aspects. She simply thought that Xu Xiangfei was suffering from depression. After all, talking to himself was one of the symptoms of depression.
Unfortunately, Tian Yurong took Xu Xiangfei to see many hospitals, but he took a lot of Chinese and Western medicine and it didn't work. In this way, more than a year passed while he was constantly seeking medical treatment.
After the second year, Xu Xiangfei's condition became worse and worse. Not only did he talk to himself, but he also lost a lot of weight. He was even in a trance and couldn't hear you when you spoke to him, just like that demented child.
Tian Yurong spent a lot of money to see famous doctors for her son's condition. She even went to Hualian City Hospital, but it still didn't work.
Until the third year of his illness, Xu Xiangfei almost became a fool. Most of the time, he sat on the bed and muttered to himself in the air.
It even developed to the level of sleepwalking. One night at around 12 o'clock, Tian Yurong followed the sleepwalking Xu Xiangfei to see where he was going.
What frightened her so much was that Xu Xiangfei walked to the overpass in a daze and wanted to jump off the bridge. Fortunately, he was stopped in time, otherwise he would have fallen to his death. This frightened Tian Yurong.
Since then, Tian Yurong locked all the windows and doors at night and kept an eye on him, but Xu Xiangfei's condition became more and more serious day by day.
Sometimes I sleepwalk in the middle of the night, sit in front of the mirror, light candles, put makeup on myself, and laugh weirdly, which is scary but weird.
It was at that time that Tian Yurong realized that the condition was far from as simple as she imagined, so on the advice of her relatives, she began to look for immortals to treat her son.
"Hey." Tian Yurong sighed after saying this, "I am an atheist. I never believe in ghosts and gods. I think those are just nonsense, and all the lies made by great gentlemen are lies. But... ..”
