  Chapter 248 Seventeenth Hospital

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

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

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

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

  Xu Huo walked over to pick up something, 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 **** 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 youngsters like you. If my grandson is still alive, he will definitely grow to be as tall as you, and he will be as good as you."

   "Well-wishers 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 Community. 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.

  He stretched out his hand and patted 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 shoulder, "I have something to do with you, don't worry."

   "You stinking usurer, let me go!" The old lady threw the vegetables at the old man, 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 down on the ground and yelled, "Help, usury is bullying the old man!"

   Some passers-by not far away seemed to be surprised to see 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 20 years ago."

  The little old man straightened his waist to look at him, and looked at him for a long time before saying: "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 followed him upstairs, looked at the messy corridor and asked, "Why do you live here?"

  Professor Lin glanced back at him, "You don't know, I have long since ceased to be the dean."

   "I resigned from the Seventeenth Hospital more than ten years ago and have never worked in any hospital. After working 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 17th Hospital because you drank too much." Xu Huo stared at him expressionlessly.

  Professor Lin looked embarrassed and scratched 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. 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. It was his secretary who asked me to sign the contract to pay my salary. I have never met him before." Professor Lin said.

   As they talked, the two had 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 they had a premonition that the life of the old couple might not be very good, they didn't expect to be so poor. It could be said that the house was completely desolate. They didn't even have a decent dining table, so they put a few plastic stools 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 out the 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 related records."

"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 transfer-in and transfer-out patient files, but the part about the hospital is blank."
