Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Chapter 164: Hospital Bed

Edited by Crooked

Gu Xizhou was a little confused. After the old man laid down flat, he didnt budge. After a long moment, Gu Xizhou was certain that the door wasnt attached to a persons soul but a bed.

The bed was alive, meaning that the door was attached to it.

The old mans body was paralyzed. He lay on the bed everyday, doing and thinking nothing. Gu Xizhou could feel that this persons mind and emotions were blank.

After the mans family sent him to the sanatorium, they would visit him every week. It was apparent that the man worked hard. Every time they came there were dark circles under his eyes. He tried to talk to the old man even if he never answered him.

Ka cha.

It was the mans son coming to visit him again.

The man dragged his weary body into the room, took a deep breath, and walked up to the old man with a smile. Dad, how is your health these days?

The mans eyes were cracked open. Since he was unable to speak, he could only hook the corners of his mouth to convey that he was very well and that his son didnt need to worry.

The man was silent for a moment before picking up an apple and peeling it with a knife. He cut it into small pieces and placed them in the old mans mouth. Dad, in a few days Ill be going on a business trip. Itll be about a month. I wont be able to come and see you this month.

The old man seemed to acknowledge it with a nod, but because of the paralysis all the muscles in his body had atrophied and he couldnt move.

Gu Xizhou silently watched the man and the old man before him interact. The man stayed in the sanatorium all afternoon before leaving.

The ward sunk once again into deathly silence. Usually the man stayed in a silent daze. It was only when the man came that he would think. Gu Xizhou wasnt sure why the bed was capable of perceiving what the old man was thinking.

My paralysis is dragging my son down and now he cant marry

In the scene before him Gu Xizhou saw a middle-aged man. When he was paralyzed unexpectedly, his son had just graduated college. The young man took care of his father while working. He was originally from the countryside and didnt have a lot of money. With the old man, no girl wanted to marry him.

Even now, he was thirty-four or five years old and still hadnt married or had children. It wasnt until a few years ago that the mans life had changed. He got a promotion and had to travel frequently. With no other options, he sent the old man to the sanatorium.

As the old man reminisced, Gu Xizhou felt something wet. The bed sheets were soaked with tears.

Why am I not dead yet?

A man rushed in screaming and crying as he begged his father to eat. Dad, you can eat, okay? Im begging you!

Dad, Ive told you this before, I dont want you to die because you feel like youre burdening me. I want to take care of you, just like you took care of me when I was little.

Please, I still have to work so dont make trouble for me. If youre like this, then I wont be able to do a good job. When I get promoted again Ill have more money and it will be easy for me to find a wife. Dadwhat good is carrying on like this? Dont you want to see me get married?

Gu Xizhou watched as the man knelt on the ground and begged. He really did look pitiful.

At the sound of his sons weeping, the old man finally opened his mouth and began eating. As time passed one day the man really did bring a woman to the hospital.

Dad, this is Wen Hua. We are already talking about getting married. She came to meet you today!

When the old man heard this, his gaze fell on the woman and his eyes instantly crinkled into a smile.

The scent of death spread through the room and the old man finally closed his eyes in peace. As the old mans hospital bed, Gu Xizhou could feel the joy in his heart.

A few days after the old mans death, Gu Xizhou saw the son again. Yi? The mans wife didnt come along?

After the man came in he began to pack up his things. One by one he placed the old mans things into a bag. After a while he seemed a little tired and sat down on the bed. His head drooped and he let out a long breath.

After a while Gu Xizhou realized the man sitting on the bed wasnt moving. After a long time a sanatorium nurse came in.

Kong Xiansheng, the sanatorium is closing. Are are you okay? the woman asked.

The man didnt answer. The nurse furrowed her brows and walked in patting the man on the shoulder. With one pat the mans body collapsed to the ground!

His body had already grown cold.

S-somones dead! The woman let out an alarmed cry.

But Gu Xizhou wasnt surprised. Just before the man sat down Gu Xizhou had discovered that the bed had thoughts, and he finally found the owner of the door.

The door wasnt attached to the bed, it was attached to the man.

Gu Xizhou knew the mans cause of death. Hed died of exhaustion.

The hospital bed ushered in a new elderly person. This one wasnt paralyzed and had four children, but none of the four children wanted the elderly person to live at home, so they pooled their money to send the elderly person to a sanatorium.

From that day onward, the elderly persons children never came to visit.

At night, the elderly person sat on the bed in a daze.

The elderly person was like this day after day, sitting quietly alone, not talking, not chatting, sitting on the bed and not going out.

Until one day, the elderly person died.

One elderly person after another appeared in the hospital bed and everyday Gu Xizhou felt the lifelessness of his surroundings.

As time went on, the nursing home slowly began to change. The people there started being rude to the elderly people whose relatives didnt visit them. Instead of attending to them carefully, they had bad attitudes and sometimes even went so far as to say cruel things to provoke these patients.

Tch, what do you mean Im slow? Do you really still believe your family is going to come visit you? Theyve all gone abroad and paid for ten years upfront. They probably arent coming back. Isnt that a little too slow? Wont you be dead by then, ah?

The blood is flowing back into the IV. I-I You The elderly person lying on the bed panted with rage as they argued with the nurse, their face flushed.

Why? Tch, I dont want to take care of you! Tomorrow Ill find someone else to take care of you. Whoever loves taking care of you, they can do it. There are so many things to do!

The elderly persons body was inconvenient, and they could only move their mouth. Faced with the nurse, there was really nothing they could do.

Another night, due to his poor health, the elderly person had just returned from the hospital so he was still on an IV. Just like the other day, the nurse didnt come on time. Watching the blood flow backwards, Gu Xizhou couldnt help frowning.

At this moment, the bed, or more accurately, the sheet moved as if the bed had come to life. At night the sheet was like a pair of hands, helping the elderly person who couldnt move turn off the IV.

I forgot to turn off that old things IV!

The nurse hurried in to discover that the IV had already been shut off and that the elderly person was still asleep. The nurse rubbed his eyes. Did he come in last night?

Forget it, its off now anyways.

Everyone who entered the ward was taken care of by the bed. At night the IV is taken care of, the blanket is pulled up, and water is delivered It seemed as though this very same bed was the one who fixed the covers for Song Nainai.

Gu Xizhou discovered that the bed had slowly begun to establish a strange connection with that young man who had died suddenly. Although he couldnt see the mans soul, this bed was the man, and the man was the bed.

After all, a sanitorium was a place brimming with negative energy. Compared with the happiness of the first old man, more and more patients had their own misfortunes.

The bed began to have its own emotions, and it was not so happy.

Clang.

The sliding sound of chains made Gu Xizhou certain that the mans chains had broken.

As the attitudes of the nursing home staff worsened, the chains attaching the man to the bed broke and strange things began to occur in the hospital. People died everyday.

The bed caused panic and all the staff in the sanatorium died. No one dared to work there. All the patients left and the sanatorium filed for bankruptcy. The bed was left alone in that room forever.

Scene after scene passed before his eyes and Gu Xizhous mind suddenly sank into emptiness. Harsh sunlight streamed in through the curtains onto his eyes, turning his vision red.

HeyWake up.

Gu Xizhou heard someone whispering in his ear. Opening his eyes, he saw Si Yu looking at him tenderly. He gently touched Gu Xizhous hair and asked, Are you okay?

Im fine, Gu Xizhou smiled. He heard a heavy gasp and turned his head to see Fang Zhi sweating like hed just run a kilometer.

Gu Ge, did you see that? The door is on the bed! Fang Zhi said.

Gu Xizhou nodded. When he died suddenly, Kong Xianshengs soul was attached to the bed. Before, the bed couldnt think and could only perceive the patients emotions, but after the death of Kong Xiansheng, it began to develop emotions.

Fang Zhi thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, But I feel like somethings not right. Before when those ghosts possessed something we could always see them, but this time we couldnt. From beginning to end all we could see was the bed.

Gu Xizhous brows furrowed a little when he heard Fang Zhis words. It really wasnt the same, was it?

He wanted to ask Si Yu for his opinion, but Si Yu only smiled and wouldnt participate in the conversation or give any of his opinions.
