"Hey, that young man with long hands and long feet in front!" Outside the old residential area, an old lady stood at the intersection with several bags of vegetables and fruits and shouted.

The hurried passers-by didn't turn their heads, but the old lady said again, "The tall and handsome guy...it's not you two ugly ones, it's the one in black."

The two young men who were smiling and wanted to turn around to help walked away with a dark face, and Xu Huo turned around and smiled slightly, "Old man, you call me."

The old lady's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's you. The young man is so good-looking and has a good face. He looks like a good young man at first glance. Can you give me a hand and help me carry things?"

Xu Huo walked over to pick up the thing, and held her arm with one hand, "Where does the old man live?"

"The Red Star Community in front." The old lady held his hand, her face wrinkled with a smile, "I don't know if the small cart for grocery shopping was stolen by some bastard who lacked virtue, and my old arm was so tired The old man came out to buy some vegetables and almost jumped to the waist."

"Now there are not many kind-hearted young men like you. If my grandson is still alive, he will definitely grow up to your height and be as good as you."

"In any case, kind-hearted people still make up the majority." Xu Huo said with a smile, "I think someone wanted to help you just now."

But the old lady grabbed his hand tightly, "They don't look good, I don't care, I care about you, how old is the young man? Are you married? If my granddaughter is still alive, I will definitely introduce you. She looks like She's so beautiful, she was a beauty when she was a teenager, and many neighbors wanted to marry her!"

Xu Huo helped her into the community, and walked towards Sandong under her instructions.

"Young man, I haven't seen you around here. You don't live here. Are you here to visit relatives?" The old lady looked at him lovingly.

"I'm here to find someone. I heard that there is an old professor living in Hongxing District. Have you heard of it? A famous psychiatrist." Xu Huo asked.

"No!" The old lady threw her hand away, her expression switched back and forth between disgust and a smile, and then she lowered her back and said, "Oh, I can't walk anymore, I can't climb up to the sixth floor!"

Xu Huo glanced at the elevator that was under maintenance, and said, "How about I carry you up?"

"Can you carry it on your back?" The old lady waved her hand, "It's not that I don't know, all of you young people can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands. When outsiders come in, they not only don't help, they take advantage of the fire to rob, and they don't like it. Useless stuff."

She said and took five yuan to Xu Huo, "Go, buy me a bottle of drink outside the community, the energy drink you like to drink when you are young."

Xu Huo put his things down, and when he walked some distance away, he heard the old lady calling someone on the phone in a low voice. He smiled slightly, went to the supermarket to buy a drink, and came back when he happened to meet a little old man on crutches who was hunched over from his side walk by.

Reach out and pat him on the shoulder, "Dean Lin."

"You, you, you got the wrong person, Dean Lin lives in the sixth building..." The little old man bent down and stared at the ground to leave.

Xu Huo clasped his shoulders, "I have something to do with you, don't worry."

"You stinking usury, let me go!" The old lady threw the vegetables at her and said to the old man, "Run, old man, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me when I'm old!"

Xu Huo avoided the things and pulled her for fear that she would fall, but the old lady sat on the ground and yelled, "Help, usury is bullying the old man!"

Some passers-by not far away seemed familiar with this scene, and some of them had already taken out their phones.

"I'm not a loan shark." Xu Huo said, "Dean Lin, I was treated in your hospital twenty years ago."

Only then did the little old man straighten his waist to look at him, and after looking at him for a long time, he said: "I remember you, your name is... Xu... Xu... Xu Huo! You are a very smart boy!"

"It's been twenty years, do you still remember what I look like?" Xu Huo was quite surprised.

"The children admitted in that hospital back then were all first-class smart, and it was hard to forget." The little old man pulled his wife up and patted the dust off her body, "It's okay, this is my old friend's life." patient."

The old lady became smiling again, and took Xu Huo's hand, "Young man is so handsome, if my granddaughter is still alive, I will definitely let you be my grandson-in-law, are you hungry, I will cook two dishes for you, come here Let's eat at my house."

"He came to see us on a special trip. He must have dinner. You go upstairs to steam the rice first, and we will go up immediately." Professor Lin said with a smile.

The old lady left happily.

Professor Lin turned to Xu Huo and said, "Don't be surprised, her son and daughter-in-law died early, and she became like this after a pair of grandchildren passed away, but the situation is still passable."

Xu Huo picked up his things and went upstairs with him, looked at the messy corridor and asked, "Why do you live here?"

Professor Lin glanced back at him, "You don't know, I am no longer the dean."

"I resigned from the Seventeenth Hospital more than ten years ago and have never worked in any hospital since I worked in the hospital for so many years. I have seen through the coldness and warmth of human relationships and life and death, and I don't want to work anymore..."

"I heard that you were fired by the original hospital before you took office in the Seventeenth Hospital because of drinking too much." Xu Huo stared at him expressionlessly.

Professor Lin was embarrassed and scratched at his thinning hair, "Really? Oh, I can't remember it when I'm old."

"Because of your previous convictions, no hospital was willing to hire you later. I want to know who is the person who invited you to be the dean of the Seventeenth Hospital." Xu Huo said.

"I don't know about that. I only heard that his surname is Zhu. He is a businessman. The person who asked me to sign the contract was his secretary. I have never met him before." Professor Lin said.

While talking, the two had already reached the sixth floor, the old lady was waiting at the door, took the things from Xu Huo's hand, asked him to sit down and drink tea, and went to the kitchen to cook by herself.

Although I had a hunch that the life of the old couple might not be very good, but I didn't expect that they would be so poor. It could be said that the house was completely bare, without even a decent dining table, and only a few plastic stools were placed beside the coffee table.

"Please sit down, please sit down." Professor Lin wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and asked, "The person who you came this time to find funds to build the Seventeenth Hospital? Why don't you go to the hospital and ask, the current hospital The boss should know."

"The Seventeenth Hospital has disappeared." Xu Huo said: "Not only the hospital building, but also any records related to it."

"I checked the records of patients who were transferred to No. 17 Hospital. During the years when the hospital existed, there were patients interacting with other hospitals and institutions. It is common sense that there should be records in these places, but now I can't find them. I have also read the patient files transferred in and out, but the part about the hospital is blank."
