Chapter 10

There was only Qu He and the nurse in the elevator. She was standing in one corner of the elevator, and the nurse stood in the other corner. After thanking her, the nurse did not make any more noise.

Qu He didn't say anything either.

Until the elevator stopped, a woman came in outside. The woman was a little bloated and looked like she was in her thirties or forties and had dry hair. She pushed a stroller into the elevator, and there was a thin baby in the car.

The baby is not old and can't speak. He originally had a pacifier in his mouth. After entering the elevator, he stared at the nurse's big eyes, which looked a little bulging because he was thin.

Qu He's eyebrows beat a little, looked at the nurse, and saw the nurse bent slightly to stretch out his hand towards the baby.

Before the nurse's hand touched the child's face, Qu He reached out to open her hand.

"What are you doing?"

Two voices sounded at the same time. The nurse covered her hands and stared at Qu He in a frightened manner. The woman pushing the stroller responded even louder than the nurse. When she stared at Qu He, there were still light red bloodshot on her eyes.

"There are mosquitoes." Qu He said to the woman.

However, the woman seemed to be stimulated by her words. The flesh on her face twitched a few times, her expression was a little distorted. She pushed the stroller and stood at the farthest place from Quhe, muttering and making noises in her mouth.

"If there are mosquitoes and mosquitoes, you will only say that there are mosquitoes and do nothing. You don't care about your baby or nothing. I'll take care of her, I'll take care of her..."

The child in the stroller seemed to feel the emotional changes from the mother. When he opened his mouth, the pacifier in his mouth fell out. The child's hoarse cry suddenly sounded in the elevator. The cry sounded so thin and weak, as if it was boring.

It sounds even more heartbreaking.

"Stop crying, baby be good. OK, okay? Mom knows you are uncomfortable, mom knows, everyone knows, because mom is the same as you..." The woman leaned over and squatted beside the stroller, stretched out her hands to wipe the child's face.

Rather than coaxing children, it is more like talking to oneself.

Qu He frowned as she looked at the scene. She pursed the corner of her lips and looked at the nurse who covered the back of her hands in the corner.

The nurse was also looking at the mother and daughter, her face was still pale and her expression was worried. She wanted to go up and talk to the woman, but as soon as she reached out, her hand passed through the woman's body.

"I..." The nurse stared at her hands blankly, looking confused.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and there were many people outside waiting for the people inside to go out, but Qu He stood still. The woman in the corner was still squatting there to wipe the child's face, but she didn't move. The people outside were stunned for a moment, and as the elevator door was about to close, she still walked in.

One, two, three... passed directly through the nurse's body, and the nurse's figure became increasingly faded. She turned her head and looked at Qu He when she completely disappeared.

Qu He, who was originally standing in the other corner, moved and stood behind the woman. The child in the stroller was crying almost silent. Someone in the elevator looked here frequently. A girl in a hospital uniform opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the woman standing next to her pulled her.

"We're here, hurry up and leave."

The elevator went up again, and the people in the elevator went out one after another until only Qu He and the mother and daughter were left in the elevator.

For a moment, no one came to take the elevator, and the elevator stopped on the last floor that he arrived without moving. Qu He was watching the woman, and the child was crying silently. The ringtone of the cell phone ringing on the woman's body suddenly rang in the elevator, which shocked the child a few times.

As soon as the phone answered, even though the woman did not turn on the speakerphone, Qu He still heard the swearing sounds on the other end of the phone.

"Where have you gone? I don't know if I'm back so late. I can't take care of my children well and I won't do housework. My son has been married to you for eight lifetimes. You might as well die outside!"

The woman lowered her head and answered the phone, but didn't say anything until the person on the other end of the phone scolded her enough and hung up the phone.

The elevator started to move again, this time heading to the top floor.

The woman had already picked up the child in the stroller, humming the tone that Qu He could not understand. It sounded very nice, and the child in the woman's arms seemed to have been comforted.

"What did she do on the top floor?" The nurse's figure appeared in the elevator again. She looked at the mother and daughter anxiously, and reached out to pull each other. She probably remembered that her hand had just passed through the woman's body, so she stopped her hand and hurriedly took it back.

"Stop her! Her condition is obviously wrong now...Are you a ghost too? No, but you can open the elevator door..."

The nurse's voice was in a mess, and Qu He's eyes were always on the mother and daughter, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.

"She wants to die." Qu He whispered, and he planned to die with the child.

The elevator has reached the top floor. Seeing that the woman has already walked out of the elevator with her child in her arms, she walked towards the stairs next to her, went up the stairs, and pushed open the door to the rooftop.

Qu He always followed behind him, no matter how anxious the nurse was, she never stepped forward to stop the woman.

She was curious about one thing, why women wanted to die with their children.

"Hey! Are you so kind? Are you just watching her die? She is so pitiful, please hold her! As long as you hold her, whether you call the police or find a doctor, it will be considered helpful to her, instead of following without saying a word like now!"

The nurse turned anxiously, her eyes gradually turned red, and resentment appeared all over her body. She stared at Qu He as if she was crying and laughing, from the beginning to the resentful scolding behind her.

Qu He was always indifferent, and she followed the woman to the edge of the rooftop.

It was already around nine o'clock in the evening. On the road outside, on the highway bridge, cars were coming and going. It was the most lively time of the night. The woman stood on the edge of the rooftop with her child in her arms. The night wind blew up the loose skirt on her body, and the figure wrapped in it was not very good-looking.

She was still humming a song softly, looking down at the child in her arms, and stepped forward with one foot, stepping in the air.

"Why?" Qu He finally reached out and grabbed the woman's clothes on the back.

She stood under the rooftop and looked up at the woman, "Why do you want to die? Why do you want to die with your children?"

She has been practicing in the mountains for years and has seen many animals in the mountains, whether it is a beast or a gentle person. She has never seen anyone who will take their children to die, especially when it seems that there is no fatal danger.

Qu He couldn't figure it out.

The woman hung her foot outside the rooftop, but her body stood there steadily and did not fall forward because of this.

At this time, someone had already found a person standing on the rooftop. More and more people looked up. Security guards rushed into the building. The door leading to the rooftop was also pushed open. The girl who had seen in the elevator before stood there with a breath, looking here with a nervous look on her face.

Only Qu He's face was simple and puzzled.

The woman turned her head and looked at her, looking confused, "This place is so scary, I want to take my baby out of here..."

"Is it scary?" Qu He curled up his fingers holding her clothes, "What's scary? Is the night scary? Or is the people you meet terrible? Or... Is it something that makes you feel scary?"

"I don't know..." The woman lowered her head and cried, and her emotions became excited. She shouted while turning her head and insisting on moving forward, even if there was no way ahead.

"I don't know... it's so scary here... I'm going to take the baby away..."

The girl in the hospital uniform was so scared that she covered her face and squatted on the ground, screaming.

Qu He still held the woman's clothes tightly, letting the woman struggle to lean forward and she couldn't move at all, but the woman's clothes could hardly support her.

"It's really scary." Qu He pursed the corners of his lips, and she looked at the woman calmly.

The woman paused and turned around and looked over, with a crying and laughing expression on her face, "You think it's scary, do you?"

Qu He did not shake his head or nodded. She just asked the woman seriously, "Do you think I'm scary?"

The woman looked confused.

"Some people think I'm scary." Qu He said, with no expression on his face. "They all say that I'm the most terrifying existence in the world, nothing is more terrifying than me. I can only hide in the mountains forever without seeing the light of day. If one day I run out, countless people will surely drive me away and want to kill me, because I'm scary."

Qu He grabbed her arm, and she felt her neck a little sore, so she moved her head slightly and continued: "I don't know what you think is terrible, but it shouldn't be more terrible than me."

"Why do they... think you are scary?" The woman looked over in a daze.

"I don't know." Qu He shook his head. In this season, even the wind at night may not be cool, but her hands are still chilling.

The nurse next to her jumped in an anxious manner, "Why are you so comforting people like this? You can't say that. You have to calm her emotions first and then persuade her..."

Qu He thought she was a little noisy, but more importantly...

"I'm a little hungry." Qu He said to the woman, his eyes falling on the child she was holding, "She seems to be hungry too."

Many people had already gone to the rooftop, and no one could see how Qu He used force clearly, so he pulled down the woman standing on the rooftop.

"Is it okay?" The others rushed around, but when the woman saw them coming, she showed a look of resistance on her face.

Qu He glanced at the child in her arms and said, "She is too thin and should eat more."

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of the baby..." The woman apologized in a panic, as if she had made a big mistake.

Qu He looked at her and did not express his opinion on this, but just pulled her downstairs.

The people in the hospital thought they were together, and there was no stop. The nurse could not leave the hospital building, so she could only watch them leave. When she walked out of the hospital, there seemed to be a nurse's voice in Qu He's ear.
