Chapter 8 Accidents
After serving the dishes, Gu Yunsheng picked up the drink in front of him and smiled at Lu Zhao: "Brother Lu, I actually felt very friendly when I saw you for the first time. I didn't expect that it would be so coincidental to become a neighbor again. We all came from the mainland, and it would be a fate to meet in Hong Kong. If you have any problems in the future, everyone will take care of each other."
After hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhao felt very touched: it was completely different from his introverted and gloomy self, Gu Yunsheng was a passionate and sincere person.
With a personality and talent like him, he is always a shining presence in the crowd no matter where he goes. There are many classmates around him who have good relationships, but even so, the other party still treats him sincerely.
Gu Yunsheng is also the only person he has come into contact with after coming to Hong Kong who has no purpose and just wants to be friends with him.
For Lu Zhao, who was plagued by curses and trapped in shackles, isn’t the appearance of Gu Yunsheng a ray of sunshine that shines into his dark life?
Everything will be fine.
What happened today was a good start for Lu Zhao. The investigation had some clues, helped Meng Qitong get rid of her regrets, and made such an excellent friend...
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao also picked up the drink in front of him and smiled and clinked with Gu Yunsheng.
Gu Yunsheng ordered too many dishes. Based on the principle of not wasting it, the two of them could only eat and chat while stopping and resting. By the time they finished eating, it was already 7:30 pm. In the end, both of them couldn't stand it.
Meng Qitong, who sensed that she seemed to have woken up. At the moment, there was still some time before the curfew in the building, Lu Zhao took the initiative to go for a walk nearby to digest food, and then take a bus home.
"Okay. By the way, Brother Lu, our school is nearby. How about it? Are you interested in going to take a look?" After Gu Yunsheng settled the account, he asked the other party.
Lu Zhao agreed happily. The University of Hong Kong is well-known. When he was studying, he had also longed for how good it would be if he could go to such a university to study in the future.
Now that I have been to Hong Kong for a week, I have not been to any famous attractions during this period. It is also good to go and see them today.
The night is much cooler than during the day. The two of them stroll along the streets. Hong Kong at night is more lively than during the day.
The endless stream of vehicles is crowded on the street like a tide; neon lights are placed on both sides of the road, making the tall buildings crystal clear.
Lu Zhao looked up and looked at the colorful sky rendered by the lights. The prosperity here is far beyond the small county town of his hometown.
"It's very lively, right?"
Gu Yunsheng said relish: "The classmates in my hometown all envy me. They think that studying in an international big city like Hong Kong will be much richer than theirs, regardless of their experience. After graduation, I want to follow my tutor and continue to study for a doctorate."
Gu Yunsheng turned his head and looked at Lu Zhao: "Brother Lu, do you know why I chose the Department of Psychiatric Medicine?"
Lu Zhao didn't understand why, so he shook his head.
"When I was young, there was a sister next door to my house. She was seven or eight years older than me, very beautiful, and had excellent academic performance. Although her family was not good, her parents always supported her to study, hoping that she would make a fortune one day. Sometimes, her sister would come to me to tutor my homework, and her mother also let me learn more like her. Her sister is someone else's child as everyone calls her, and her parents are proud of her."
Gu Yunsheng calmly recalled the past:
"But one day, the sister seemed to have changed. At first, she stayed in the door and said things at home all day long. Her words and deeds were full of weirdness, and she even acted like self-harm. Later, she could no longer communicate with others normally. She became crazy. Once, she ran out of the house while her parents were not paying attention and attacked a passerby on the street. She was afraid that she would hurt herself and others, so her parents could only tie her to the house with iron chains."
The neighbor's family tried every means to take their daughter to see a doctor. However, in a small city in the 1990s, medical conditions were limited at that time. Although the doctor prescribed medicine, the girl's condition did not improve, but instead became more and more serious.
Although doctors from county hospitals suggested that they take their children to the psychiatric department for consultation in big cities, at that time, the economic situation of the leader’s home was no longer enough to support them to continue their struggles.
The grandmother next door heard from somewhere that she thought her granddaughter was "a ghost".
After all, a normal child suddenly becomes like this. For the elderly, this superstitious statement is obviously more acceptable.
"In fact, it was not only that family, but also their relatives, friends, and neighbors nearby thought that the sister had gotten into something unclean. For a year later, I watched them do things at home, asking some so-called immortals to exorcise ghosts and drinking all kinds of strange talisman water for my sister..."
"Until later, my sister died of poisoning because she took the magic medicine that her family got from somewhere. Her parents also committed suicide because of self-blame and both drank pesticides."
Gu Yunsheng sighed: "I only realized when I grew up that my sister had dated a boyfriend, but later became pregnant due to an accident. After her parents learned about this, they went to school and asked the school to fire the boy; then took her sister to have an abortion..."
Due to long-term mental stress, the girl accumulates a lot of negative emotions in her psychology, which leads to a sudden mental illness, which triggers a series of subsequent tragedies.
When Lu Zhao heard this, he felt extremely sad. After all, there are too many people in society who cheat and cheat by feudal superstitions, and there are very few experts like Uncle Zhong and Grandma Li.
After seeing the real experiences happening around you, no wonder Gu Yunsheng became a staunch atheist.
Gu Yunsheng said that in fact, medical care is already very developed now, but nearly 1 billion people around the world still suffer from mental health problems of varying degrees. Especially in low- and middle-income countries, there are frequent problems with mental illness, neurodegenerative diseases, and drug abuse, and nearly 75% of people cannot receive timely and effective treatment.
Speaking of this, Gu Yunsheng's eyes were slightly moved: "So I swear I must do something in the future to change this situation."
After hearing what he said, Lu Zhao suddenly remembered Lin Yue'e. The reason for this was that the tragedy of that family was also caused by mental illness.
"It is gratifying that nowadays the continuous progress of basic and clinical research, early diagnosis and precise treatment of diseases have gradually been applied to clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the past two years, research in the field of neurological and mental illness has achieved fruitful results, and has repeatedly entered the top journals in the industry and made major breakthroughs. My mentor is an internationally renowned expert. He said that after graduation, he will hire me as his assistant to overcome this problem together. I hope that one day, I will also make contributions in this field."
Lu Zhao found that when he was saying these words, Gu Yunsheng's eyes were shining brightly, like stars in the sky, all falling into his eyes.
"You will definitely become an excellent scholar in the future, come on," Lu Zhaoqing couldn't help but speak.
"yes."
At the same time, Meng Qitong's voice also sounded in her mind. Lu Zhao was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that the other party had been listening to Gu Yunsheng's speech.
"Hehe, I'll lend you auspicious words!"
By chance, Gu Yunsheng's words happened to be on. At first glance, it seemed as if he was talking to Meng Qitong.
Perhaps because of the ring, Lu Zhao could actually sense Meng Qitong's emotions. Obviously, it was a happy thing for her to communicate with others in this way.
The evening breeze blew gently, whirling the leaves beside the road.
Along the way, Gu Yunsheng chattered and introduced the customs and customs of Hong Kong to Lu Zhao. Even Meng Qitong in the ring listened very seriously.
Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the gate of the medical school.
However, at this moment, they suddenly discovered that outside the school, which should have been no one, was crowded with students and residents living nearby; several police cars were parked on the side of the road, and cordons were also pulled around the school gate.
Meanwhile, four young men and women walked out under the leadership of police and security guards.
Each of them had a look of horror. One of the boys wearing glasses was covered with scars. He covered his right hand and blood kept oozing out of his fingers, looking like he was injured. The other two boys and the school security guards were also stained with a lot of blood stains.
"Isn't that Brother Lin Yiyun from the Department of Pathology next door? Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'll ask what's wrong..."
Gu Yunsheng recognized the injured person who was supported by the police at a glance. He quickly left Lu Zhao, pushed the crowd away and squeezed in.
