I really don't want to be a teacher

……

While chatting, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying got into the old jeep and started driving to the Yanhu County Hospital.

Chapter 20 Hospital

Salt Lake County, County Hospital Emergency Department.

Although it was already night, the emergency department still seemed a bit busy and noisy. The sound of children crying, adults talking, and the sounds of nurses reminding each other mixed in the emergency hall.

Different from the daytime, after the outpatient service of the county hospital at night is closed, the emergency department has replaced the outpatient service to some extent.

Most patients and their family members don't care whether the condition is critical or not, and they can't judge it. Once they get sick at night, their only choice is to come to the emergency room, especially the parents of children, who are even more worried because of their concern.

And amidst the hustle and bustle, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying stepped into the emergency department of the county hospital,

"...there are so many people in your county hospital here." Gu Xiaoying looked at the patients crowded in the corridor and was slightly surprised, "It is reasonable to say that most patients who need to go to the emergency department like to go to the city hospital or more Will the big hospital run away?"

"The situation is different in different places, so it can be regarded as regional characteristics." Lian Ge heard the words and simply explained, "The location of the county seat of Yanhu County and the urban area of ​​Xugou City are basically opposite. If there is a critical patient, you need to go from Yanhu County to the Xugou City Hospital. , Even if you drive all the way on the mountain road, it will take more than two hours.

And this is still the distance between two urban areas. If it is a village or town under the jurisdiction of Salt Lake County, the side closer to the urban area is fine. If it is the other side, it will take at least three hours.

If it is really a critical condition, the corpses sent to the urban area will start to grow spots. "

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying, smiled slightly, and continued: "However, because of this, the emergency department of the county hospital has good hardware and software capabilities."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded knowingly, looked away from everyone in the corridor hall, and looked at Lian Ge again,

"Then we're also at the county hospital now, Lian Ge, how are you going to let me see... the ghost?" As he spoke, Gu Xiaoying leaned closer and asked mysteriously in Lian Ge's ear.

"Come with me." Lian Ge glanced at the emergency room and walked towards the corridor.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoying nodded lightly, then tiptoed forward closely following Lian Ge.

The two of them passed the hall, appeared at the stairway at the entrance of the corridor, and walked upstairs to the emergency room.

Turning his head inadvertently, Lian Ge noticed Gu Xiaoying's movements, and couldn't help laughing, not knowing whether to laugh or cry,

"Gu Nvxia, you're creeping around, you're acting like a thief? Don't you think your movements are even weirder?"

"No, you forgot, this is a hospital, others will only think that I am mentally ill."

"It's kind of proud to be with you, isn't it?"

"Yeah, I'm the witty bunch most of the time."

Even though he said so, Gu Xiaoying put away that gesture as if nothing had happened, and then took Lian Ge's hand.

Smiling, Lian Ge didn't speak any more, turned around with Gu Xiaoying and continued walking upstairs.

……

Compared to the downstairs, the upstairs, which is only one floor away, seems very quiet.

Except for the two nurses at the front desk, there are only a few people in the entire corridor.

"...Lian Ge, how do you know this is the intensive care unit?"

Unable to be affected by the environment, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying took their steps lightly and lowered the voice of communication.

"My parents stayed here for a month after the car accident that year." Lian Ge said calmly.

"...I'm sorry." Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge apologetically.

"It's okay, it's been a long time." Lian Ge squeezed out a smile and stroked Gu Xiaoying's hair.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Ge dragged Gu Xiaoying past the front desk with nurses.

"Lian Ge, why is no one paying attention to us?" Gu Xiaoying asked again in a low voice.

"Remember the spell I used when I came here?"

"...Decree, invisible?" Gu Xiaoying said uncertainly, and after the words came out, she became a little excited,

"So are we invisible now?"

"The effect of the spell is to reduce our sense of existence. We still exist in their eyes. If you speak louder, their attention will be focused." Lian Ge explained with a low voice.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoying nodded obediently, and then made a zipper movement on her lips, signaling her to stop talking.

Seeing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then led Gu Xiaoying along the corridor, looking at the intensive care unit one by one,

Through the window on the door of the ward, every time he passed an intensive care unit, Lian Ge took a look inward with his unclosed eyes.

Gu Xiaoying next to him also obediently kept silent, just followed Lian Ge from ward to ward.

Finally, when he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying stopped in front of an intensive care unit.

"Okay, here it is." Lian Ge glanced at the patient on the hospital bed in the intensive care unit again through the glass window on the door.

"Is there...a ghost in here?" Gu Xiaoying lowered her voice, and also moved to the glass window to look in.

"Not yet, but soon." Lian Ge said calmly.

"Huh? That means..."

"Well, yes." Lian Ge nodded, affirming Gu Xiaoying's thoughts, "Do you still want to watch it?"

"...Think!" Gu Xiaoying nodded firmly.

"Well, you should be mentally prepared." Lian Ge pulled Gu Xiaoying to the door, and then took out three sticks of incense and a lighter.

"Clap."

Light the incense with a lighter, put the lighter back into the pocket again, hold three sticks of incense with both hands, solemnly,

"Burning the incense of the soul, connecting yin and yang. The 1th generation descendants of the Lian family have decreed that yin and yang are connected, and people and ghosts are supernatural!"

Standing the incense in front of Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge shouted in a low voice.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoying felt that there seemed to be some changes in the picture in front of her, but it didn't seem to be there.

"Are you ready?" Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge with some doubts.

"Okay." Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then handed the three burning incense sticks to Gu Xiaoying,

"Hold these three sticks of incense in your hand, you can see them before the incense burns out."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoying took the three sticks of incense and held them in her hand,

As soon as Xiang got it, she felt that the picture in front of her suddenly seemed much more real.

"Let's watch it now."

Following Lian Ge's voice, Gu Xiaoying took the three sticks of incense, turned back to the door of the intensive care room, and looked in through the transparent glass on the door.

The next moment, when the picture came into view, Gu Xiaoying paused for a moment, her pupils shrank slightly, her eyes widened slightly, and with sufficient psychological preparation, she barely screamed.

At this moment, in her line of sight, the picture is no longer just a dying patient lying quietly on the hospital bed, but on the patient's body, or inside the body, there is another shadow struggling desperately.

"Is that... that person's soul?" Gu Xiaoying resisted the emotional changes in her heart and asked in a low voice,

"Yes, that is the soul of that patient." Lian Ge nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"He seems to be struggling. Does he want to leave his body? Does the soul die after leaving the body?" Gu Xiaoying stared at the soul in the intensive care room and asked again,

"Under normal circumstances, a person whose soul leaves the body is indeed dead. But his struggle is not to get out of the body, but to resist the rejection of the body and try his best to stay." Lian Ge paused,

"In other words, this patient has a strong desire to survive."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying was silent for a while, then nodded,

After a while, Gu Xiaoying looked away.

"Lian Ge, let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

……

A moment later, outside the hospital.

"... Lian Ge, have you ever studied the nature of the soul?"

After a very short period of time, Gu Xiaoying quickly accepted the existence of ghosts, and then discussed with Lian Ge with some interest,

Looking at Gu Xiaoying's expression of wanting to catch a ghost and dissect it,

Lian Ge couldn't help but think of the figure who skillfully dissected the human body in the dissecting room, and the figure who neatly broke the neck of the mouse in the laboratory.

On the way back to Lian's old house, Gu Xiaoying became more and more excited, even a little excited.

"...Lian Ge, why haven't we seen wandering ghosts since we came out of the hospital?"

Gu Xiaoying held the three sticks of incense in her hand and looked out through the car window.

"After a person dies, the soul will have a period of confusion. During the period of confusion, they will follow their instincts and go to the underworld, so unless the person dies in front of you, it is difficult to see the existence of ghosts in other places."

Inside the jeep, Lian Ge held the steering wheel tightly without looking back, and simply explained.

"Do all ghosts go to hell?" Gu Xiaoying asked curiously,

"This is naturally impossible. There are still many ghosts in this world who have not gone to the underworld for various reasons."

"for example?"

Gu Xiaoying leaned forward and approached Lian Ge who was in the driver's seat.

"for example……"

Lian Ge smiled, and while watching the winding mountain road illuminated by the car lights through the front window, he explained,

"There are many details, but there are roughly a few types.

The ghost's own reasons, such as deep obsession and resentment, turned into a ghost right after death.

The influence of the surrounding environment, such as the death in a 'feng shui treasure land' or a special place, became an earth-bound spirit.

The special function of special items, for example, some talismans left by senior experts happened to play a role on a certain ghost.

There are other influences or help from people with special abilities. For example, if I want to wake up a ghost from the dark period, it is also possible. "

As he spoke, Lian Ge paused slightly, and then added,

"However, after death, it is not a good thing for the soul to stay in the world.

One is that the human environment is not suitable for ghosts to survive. In order to continue to exist, even if they do not want to, they still have to do some things.

The second is that according to the law of Fengdu City in the underworld, this is illegal. If you are forced to stay now, you will only suffer after you go down. "

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded knowingly.

"Lian Ge, the three sticks of incense in my hand are burned out."

"If it burns out, let's burn it out. It's not a good thing to see ghosts anyway."

……

As time passed, the old jeep carrying the two of them was driving unhurriedly on the winding mountain road from the county hospital to the old house of Lian's family.

Gu Xiaoying, who saw a ghost for the first time, fully demonstrated a materialist's ability to accept and curiosity about unknown things.

All the way home, they seemed a little excited.

In the old jeep, the voices of questions and answers or discussions continued.

……

Another half an hour later, the old jeep stopped steadily in the courtyard of the grand uncle's house at the entrance of the village, and Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying got out of the car one after another.

"...Second Uncle!" Lian Ge stood in the yard and called inward.

"...I've filled up the car for you, so I'll put it in your yard!"

"Okay! Let's put it in the yard!" A voice came from the room, and then a middle-aged man came out of the room. It was Lian Ge's second uncle.

"Xiaoge, wait, don't go, your great-uncle has something to tell you." Second Uncle Lian stopped Lian Ge, and at the same time noticed Gu Xiaoying who was standing side by side with Lian Ge,

"Hey, Xiaoge, is this your girlfriend?"
