Don't break it, I'm bent

Chapter 5

"Young man, we've arrived." The taxi driver uncle said loudly to the people in the back seat.

Jiang Yun asked sleepily, "How much?"

"forty."

"Why is it expensive again?" Jiang Yun murmured in a low voice while taking out two [-]'s from his wallet and handing them to the driver uncle.

The uncle driver took the money and put it in his pocket, "I can't help it, the price of gas has risen, and your place is quite out of the way."

Jiang Yun didn't refute, and got out of the car with his coat in his hand.

The car door slammed shut, and a heat wave rushed in.Cheung Chau is located on the southern coast, so autumn and winter don't come very clearly.Even in autumn, the weather is still hot, and because it is a coastal area, the air is filled with water vapor.

The hot and humid weather always makes people lose their spirits, Jiang Yun yawned, and then put on his coat.

As the driver uncle said, the old area of ​​the Cheung Chau Nursing Home is indeed remote, but it is better because of the high coverage of green plants and pleasant environment.

There is still an uphill road from the place where Jiang Yun got off the car to the nursing home. The average taxi driver is unwilling to pull people directly to the gate of the nursing home. It is not a long way, but it is very expensive.Those who are willing to come here are all old fritters, and they either need to pay more or go for a while.

Jiang Yun must have chosen the latter, for no other reason - he has no money.

In the past, Jiang Yun had to walk for 10 minutes to get to the gate of the nursing home, but now, it only takes five or six minutes.As the saying goes: Some roads will become familiar as you walk.

As soon as he went up the slope, he saw the crumbling gray-white house number of Changzhou Nursing Home from a distance, and a fat figure was wandering under the house number.This person is Zhang Zhi, the person in charge of the nursing home, the person who called Jiang Yun before.

Seeing Jiang Yun approaching, Zhang Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, took two steps forward, and shouted loudly: "Little Jiang, you are here." Maybe it was too hot, and because of standing outside for too long, Zhang Zhi's voice was hoarse.

Jiang Yun took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zhang Zhi, and said in a calm tone, "Director Zhang, what happened?"

"I don't smoke." Zhang Zhi was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet, "Your mother is missing."

Jiang Yun's hand holding the cigarette case tightened, and then he lit a cigarette, "When did you see me?"

"This morning, when the nurse went to deliver breakfast to your mother, she found that she didn't have a room." Zhang Zhi continued: "We have searched everywhere, especially the places she often goes to. We have also searched. I found her, so I called you."

Jiang Yun stared blankly ahead, "Have you searched her room carefully?"

Zhang Zhi replied: "I searched carefully, even the wardrobe, but I didn't see her."

"Go to her room first." There was no emotion in Jiang Yun's voice.

Zhang Zhi quickened his pace, "Okay."

The building where Mother Jiang lived was a bit out of the way, but not too far from the entrance of the nursing home.The building is located in the southwest corner, and there is a path that leads directly to the entrance of the building.

Jiang Yun is quite familiar with this path.Three years ago, when Mother Jiang first moved here, he had to walk five or six times a day.

The buildings in the old courtyard area are basically tube buildings. Although they have been renovated [-] years later, the buildings have not changed.After the renovation, elevators were added to the left and right sides of the building to make it easier for people to go up and down.In addition, rooms with balconies have been extended.

Mother Jiang's room is on the third floor. Her balcony faces south, with a wide view and good lighting.Jiang Yun specially chose it when he moved in.The nurse's suggestion at the beginning was that Jiang's mother was emotionally unstable, and it was most suitable to choose a room without a balcony.

But Jiang Yun still chose this room. Jiang Yun answered the nurse in this way: "My mother likes to bask in the sun, and a room that is too closed is not suitable for her. In this room, light can shine in, which can calm her emotions."

Jiang Yun pushed open the door, and there were flowers everywhere in the bright room.There are tulips in the vase on the round wooden table, and there are dried lilac flowers specially made by Jiang Yun in the photo frame in front of the bedside table, which are used to calm the nerves and help sleep.There are many similar photos of dried flowers on the wall and next to the TV.On the balcony, Jiang Yun chose the best green plants to support. He believes that plants with tenacious vitality can always bring something to people to a certain extent.

He doesn't believe in metaphysics, but he has to believe it.

"Little Jiang." Zhang Zhi turned over the whole room again, but still found nothing, "Your mother still hasn't come back, where did she go?"

Zhang Zhi couldn't tell the difference in the room, but Jiang Yun noticed something missing in the room the moment he opened the door. He didn't rush to answer Zhang Zhi's question, but walked around Zhang Zhi to the closet.

With a "squeak", the closet was opened, and Jiang Yun said, "The cemetery."

"Ah? Why are you going to the cemetery?" Zhang Zhi looked surprised, and while he was muttering in his heart, he was also worried that something would happen to Mrs. Jiang.If Mrs. Jiang had an accident, he would be criticized by the leaders for not doing a good job in the management and control of the nursing home, and even lose his job.

Jiang Yun didn't say much, after greeting Zhang Zhi, he went downstairs.He knew that this was one of the few times when Jiang's mother was sober. Since that incident, Jiang's mother's consciousness has been unclear. To put it bluntly, she is mentally ill.

The cemetery is close to the nursing home. Walk up about one kilometer from the back door of the nursing home, turn right along the fork in the road, and you will reach the side door of the cemetery.Although it is close, there are not many people coming and going.The vast majority of people visit the cemetery through the main entrance of the cemetery, unless the family members of the patients in the nursing home go directly to the cemetery from the back door for the sake of safety.

The back door of the nursing home is not equipped with surveillance cameras, and the gatekeeper is hard of hearing and likes to doze off. To be honest, the gatekeeper is the local dog named Ah Huang.Every time Jiang Yun went from the back door to the cemetery, she would bring two steamed buns for Ah Huang and light a cigarette for the gatekeeper.

This time he came in a hurry, Jiang Yun didn't bring anything, Ah Huang wagged his tail vigorously at him, Jiang Yun didn't know how to explain it to him.

"Yo, here you come." It's rare that the uncle didn't doze off today, but was boiling water, ready to give Ah Huang a bath, "Ah Huang, come here."

Seeing that Ahuang kept moving closer to Jiang Yun, the uncle was afraid that Ahuang would rub lice and fleas on Jiang Yun, so he quickly tightened the dog leash that was tied to Ahuang.

"Wow~" Ah Huang blinked, and sat down on the ground, looking a little aggrieved.

Jiang Yun raised his hand and wiped Ah Huang's head, and said, "This time I came here in a hurry, next time I will bring you four buns."

Ah Huang shook his tail, Jiang Yun knew he understood.

"Greedy dog." The uncle teased Ah Huang cheerfully, and then said to Jiang Yun: "Little Jiang, are you going to see your grandma again?"

Jiang Yun lit a cigarette for the uncle, "Yes."

"You are also really filial." The uncle took a deep breath of the cigarette, probably because the smoke was too hot, which made him cough twice, "How is your mother, is she better?"

Jiang Yun also ordered roots for herself, "Same as usual."

"That's good." The uncle knows something about the Jiang family's affairs, and he has heard Jiang Yun mention it a few times.

Jiang Yun smiled, pinched his cigarette, "Let's go."

"Leave without a cup of tea?"

Jiang Yun went out of the gate, waved his hands with his back to the uncle, and joked: "I don't drink overnight tea."

"I just did it!" The uncle was eager to defend, but Jiang Yun had already gone away.

At this moment, not even a human figure can be seen. ?
