Chapter 13 Chapter Ten Half Dead Baby

This is the face of a foreign girl.High nose bridge, thick eyebrows, thin and long, the pupils in the eye sockets are staring at Jiang Xia! Jiang Xia was so frightened by this scene that he couldn't move, he almost cried out, and even felt his heart tremble uncontrollably. Jiang Xia stroked her hair slowly with her hands, and the girl in the window stroked it too.Jiang Xia let out a sigh, and the girl also let out a sigh. He didn't know if the girl was his reflection in the window, or there was really a girl looking at him from the other side of the window. His mind is in a mess, he wants to scream loudly, he wants to curse loudly, he wants to cry, he wants to jump out of this mess...

However, he reached out and twisted the handle, opened the door and walked in! The light was on in the room, and at the table next to the large window stood a woman dressed as a nurse, with her back to him.The light blue short-sleeved top is dotted with white collar and cuffs, the slanted white suspender skirt is knee-length, and the black stockings are black leather shoes.That person was wearing a square nurse's cap, which was quite different from the nurse's swallow cap that Jiang Xia often saw in the hospital.There is a blue line on the lower edge of the hat. Jiang Xia was taken aback, and subconsciously said sorry.

The man still turned his back to him, as if looking down at something. Looking at the back, Jiang Xia felt that the nurse was also a foreigner, so she said it again in English: "I'm sorry, how can I get out?" Jiang Xia felt that her voice was trembling and she had no strength. The man didn't answer, turned around, glanced at Jiang Xia, smiled slightly, sat down with the notebook in his hand and continued to read. It was indeed a foreigner, a beautiful female nurse. What puzzled Jiang Xia was her reaction when she saw this stranger who broke in. "Hello." Jiang Xia said.

The nurse still ignored him. Can't she hear?Or is there another conspiracy? Jiang Xia looked around, it was just a very simple office with six wooden desks.In the corner is a single bed separated by a white curtain, which must be the resting place for the nurse on duty.Hanging on the wall is a wooden blackboard that has not been seen for eight hundred years, and the surface of the board is flat.There are some simple tips written in chalk on the blackboard, all in English, about the number of beds and what medicine to take.Below the blackboard is a rectangular table with a single-ear stethoscope, two binaural stethoscopes, a sphygmomanometer and a double-winding clock.

"Principal Gustri came here just now, and I told her you'll be there soon. Go to the first ward and report to her." The nurse said, looking up at Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia was confused, but then he heard himself say: "I'll be there right away, thank you, Liz." My lips are moving, but the voice is that of a woman!English with a pretty strong accent! Jiang Xia walked to a mirror, and it reflected the girl she saw in the small window on the door just now, about sixteen or seventeen years old.Young and beautiful, but there is a little melancholy in her eyes that does not belong to this age.She was also a nurse, dressed like the one called Liz.There is no nurse cap on his head, maybe he is still a student of nursing school.

This photo shattered Jiang Xia's last ray of hope!If it is said that he was pulled into some kind of illusion after pressing the number given by Ye Guangting, then this illusion is so real that it is suffocating. "Fayina," Liz said. "Huh?" Jiang Xia looked at Liz in the mirror, and continued to adjust the collar of her coat. "Bring this medical record to the principal later." It turned out that this little nurse was called Faina.Jiang Xia calmed down a little, and began to organize her thoughts slowly.After tidying up his clothes, he took the medical record from the table and went out.

Jiang Xia probably has some feelings now, it's like...he is living in the body of this little nurse named Faina, and his consciousness can't control her actions.He could feel what she felt, yet Faina didn't know he existed. To prove this point, Jiang Xia shouted loudly: "Faina! Faina! I am Jiang Xia, can you hear me?" Without the slightest pause or panic, Faina was still walking in the long corridor with the medical case in her hands. Jiang Xia felt uneasy again. What's happening here?I'm dead?Reincarnated into the body of a foreign nurse? The theory of reincarnation cannot be established, and the memories about myself are still there.The voices and smiles of parents, Ye Guangting, and Zhou Qingzi are still in front of my eyes.The United States, Beijing, Tukang Road, large factory buildings...all the scenery and all the things are also vivid.

If you are not dead, there is still a way, Jiang Xia thought. But why? Or maybe there is a space-time tunnel in the old factory building on Tukang Road, and after entering the password given by Ye Guangting, it was activated and brought him here? Not too much like it.Traveling through time and space can at most take me to a certain time and place, but why did I enter another person's body?Messed up? Just as she was thinking, Faina entered the women's toilet, opened the door of a cubicle and walked in, turned around, took off the wide-angle underwear from under her skirt to her knees and sat on the toilet.

I rely on! Jiang Xia cursed while urinating, dumbfounded. Suddenly, a newspaper pinned to the side armrest caught Jiang Xia's attention. It was left by the person who went to the toilet before, and Faina also reached out to take it off. Jiang Xia was both nervous and excited, staring closely. This is a copy of the Boston Globe.The headline on the first edition read: Zero to Four!The Red Sox lost to the Yankees, when will the curse be broken? Traveled to America? Jiang Xia is familiar with this story of the Boston Red Sox.Since this team won the national championship in 1918, it has not won this title again until 2004.The reason is that the owner of the Red Sox sold his pitcher Babe Luce to the New York Yankees.So the angry Beibolus cursed: You force me to transfer, then your Red Sox will never want to touch the championship again!

This curse turned out to be a reality. In the next 86 years, the Boston Red Sox tried everything but failed to win the championship, while the New York Yankees won it 26 times. When is this newspaper?The curse of Bebolus was broken in 2004, why are you still writing about these birds? Faina was browsing the content of the article, Jiang Xia looked away to find the date of the newspaper. The light in the toilet was too dim, Jiang Xia rubbed his eyes.The situation didn't improve, so it occurred to him that he was looking through Faina's eyes. If she couldn't see clearly, no matter how much he rubbed his eyes, it wouldn't help.

Fortunately, Faina was not in a hurry to turn the page, and Jiang Xia finally saw the date in a corner: September 29, 1935! God... Really time travel. Jiang Xia was a little dizzy, although this was a possibility she had thought of, but once it was confirmed, it was still difficult to accept.The first one is whether you can go back, how to go back? He had talked with Qingzi on the phone a few hours ago, but now he was in another time and place, and turned into a woman.What the hell is this? How nice it is to drink tea and sing with Qingzi at night.What the fuck is that old factory building on Tukang Road?If Jiang Xia was holding a glimmer of hope a few minutes ago, all this was an illusion, at this moment he really has no idea. Jiang Xia once watched an American movie called "Puppet Life", which tells the story of a puppet performer entering the body of a movie star through a tunnel-like space.He can also feel everything about the "host", and later he can also manipulate the movie star like his own puppet.Did you also enter that space?It's just that the time travel in the movie is real-time, but I ran into the body of a little nurse seventy-five years ago! Just when Jiang Xia's eyes were staring and her mind was in a mess, Faina put the newspaper back in her hand and tidied it up.She went to the sink and looked in the mirror.Jiang Xia took the opportunity to take a closer look at the little American beauty she "reincarnated" again.This is really a pretty face, the gray-blue eyes reveal a kind of European aristocratic elegance, and the blond hair is tied up high, which sets off this pointed smiling face especially beautifully.She turned on the tap and wet her hands.Faina squeezed a bar of greasy soap from the soap dish on the sink and lathered a lot.She rubbed the palms of her hands, very carefully.Then put the five fingers of the left hand together and wipe back and forth on the palm of the right hand, and then clean the nails of the right hand in the same way, and finally put both hands under the faucet and turn around to shower.After washing for five minutes, Faina finally turned off the tap, shook most of the water off her hands, took out a small glass bottle from the pocket of the nurse's uniform, pulled out the cork, and poured out a few drops of transparent liquid Apply it evenly on the palms and backs of hands, hold the medical record with your elbows and walk out of the toilet. Walking through a corridor, Faina came to another building called a ward.Although it was the end of September, the heating in the building was already on, so it was very warm.The ward is very large, and the ceiling is five or six meters high.The oversized white ceramic washbasin is installed in a low position and is designed to fit the height of the small patients.Inside the room are small compartments separated by two-meter-high thin boards, and each compartment has a small white hospital bed.There is a sign at the door of each ward, with the room number and the name of the little patient living in it written on it.Jiang Xia saw that the sign also stated: Boston Children's Hospital. Faina probed from ward to ward.Since it was not too late, most of the children were awake. They were wearing striped hospital gowns, some were sitting on the bed, some were playing games in twos and twos, and when they saw Faina, they would grin and wave to her. Say hello with a wave. A woman who was talking to the child by the bed came over with a smile when she saw Faina.The woman was in her early twenties, wearing a woolen coat with a large lapel, thick mid-heeled shoes, her hair tied back, and a playful little top hat.This outfit looks very fashionable no matter in the 1930s or now when the retro style is flourishing.The man had thin eyebrows, light eye shadow, and dark red lips that were delicately painted. Faina stopped in her tracks and exclaimed in surprise, "Megan! Why are you here!" Megan took two quick steps, hugged and shook Faina, and said, "My cousin is in the hospital, poor little boy!" She turned her head and pointed to the little boy sitting on the bed looking over here: "He called Daniel." "Hi! Dan." Faina greeted the little boy, and Daniel waved to her. "What's wrong with him? Why doesn't he stay in your hospital?" Faina asked. "Daniel has been coughing all day, and Dr. Cooper diagnosed it as acute pneumonia. That old man taught us lessons, remember! Our hospital is not as good as this! Besides, I can see you often this way!" Faina smiled and said excitedly, "How is Cindy? I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you!" "I haven't seen Cindy for a long time, I'm afraid she's married. You're the youngest in the class, and you're so young, so of course you don't have to think about these things! Oh, I ran into Principal Gustri just now to check the house ’” said Megan, “she’s still stern! She still recognizes me!” "She has a good memory!" "But I just don't like her." Megan said, looking at both sides of the corridor, lowering her voice with a smile, "Why did she not recommend me to Boston Children's Hospital, but recommended you, the youngest in the class! Haha! " Faina knew that Megan was joking and not really holding grudges. "Are you okay?" she asked. Megan curled her lips: "It's okay, our hospital is small... don't talk about that, how is my brother?" Jiang Xia felt a heat on Faina's face. "Uh...very good." She replied vaguely. Megan's face was a little unnatural, but he smiled instead: "Have you known each other for a few months? Why is it just nice? He's obsessed with you! He chases me every time we have a family day Ask about your situation. I've never seen him care so much about a girl!" Faina bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say. "But..." Megan said again, "Promise me, you don't make progress too fast. For a man as good as my brother, his previous girlfriends took the initiative, but as a result, you know, nothing came of it!" Faina looked down at her feet and whispered, "We haven't... made any progress..." Megan breathed a sigh of relief, and touched Faina's little face, which greatly benefited Jiang Xia. "Go, be careful that Principal Gustley scolds you. Daniel is hospitalized these days, and I will come to read to him every day." Faina also seemed relieved, hugged Megan and walked away quickly, not forgetting to turn her head and wave to Daniel. Walking around the corner, there is another ward. When she came to the fourth ward, Faina bumped into an old woman as soon as she poked her head into the door. She was so startled that she let out a small cry, and Jiang Xia was also taken aback.Taking a closer look, it turned out that there was a woman in her fifties standing at the door of the ward. Faina quickly took two steps back. "Principal." Faina said timidly. Jiang Xia looked at Gustri, the principal of the famous Harvard Nursing School.The half-old lady has two thick eyebrows, wears a pair of rimless glasses, and her eyes are shining with wisdom, but also revealing a trace of kindness and tenderness.The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and it doesn't look very serious.Her gray hair was tied up high and covered with black silk netting, with a three-striped nurse's cap pinned to it. Faina handed over the medical record, her hands hanging in front of her body.The principal nodded and looked through the medical records, and said, "How many new children are here today?" "Remember, it's in the medical record." Faina obviously couldn't answer. The headmaster looked up at Faina, and Jiang Xia felt uncomfortable with his sharp eyes.The girl was even more ashamed, and regretted that she only focused on talking with Megan and didn't browse the medical records in advance. "How long have you been in the hospital for an internship?" "Six months." "I remember that when I was teaching you, I said that the children in the ward are the most pitiful, and they need more care and care. We must remember the situation of each of them, including their names, illnesses, and when they were admitted. The hospital, what toys you like to play with, etc. It is not enough to write it down in the medical record.” Faina listened quietly.Jiang Xia felt that the little girl was the most pitiful at this moment. "Do you like children?" The headmaster continued to ask, his tone was always calm and without ups and downs. Faina nodded. "What I want is that kind of motherly love for children. But this request is a bit difficult for you, and you are still a child." The principal patted Faina's shoulder lightly and smiled, "Take what I just said Make a note of it, take your time." Jiang Xia had a sore nose, and suddenly felt that her vision was blurred. It turned out that the little girl was crying.This old lady is worthy of being the principal. She educates people with both kindness and prestige, which is very effective. Principal Gustley handed over the case to the nurse next to her and left.Faina stood on the spot and swayed slightly from side to side, then looked mischievously at the direction of the principal behind her, and then pouted at the little patient standing at the door poking her head: "Little Larry, what are you looking at? Wait a minute I'll give you an injection and let you see!" The patient named Larry, who was about six or seven years old, screamed exaggeratedly, and ran back to the room with teeth and claws. After a day of tossing, Jiang Xia was really a little tired, and I was also tired of thinking about these things that happened.I can't figure out why, so I simply don't bother, just let fate.It happened that Faina was on the night shift today, and she didn't know if she could sleep.Jiang Xia tried to close her eyes, and it seemed to be all right.This made him happy: let Faina do what she has to do, I can watch when I want to, and rest when I don’t want to. In "Puppet Life", the male protagonist fell out of some big pipeline next to the expressway after entering the movie star's body fifteen minutes later. I hope that when I wake up, I will return to Beijing in 2010. Jiang Xia closed her tired eyes, and then thought about it: If something happened to Faina, such as being hit by a car and killing her, where would her consciousness be?Do you want to die together with your eyes? Forget it, don't want to.Since there is no way to control it, let's do it first. Jiang Xia fell asleep drowsily helplessly. "Have you seen clearly?" "Well, that kid does have a mole on his face." Jiang Xia was awakened by the quiet voice, extremely disappointed - he did not withdraw from Faina's body.Sitting in front of him was a man in his forties.The reason why Jiang Xia guessed this way is that he thinks that Americans usually look very old.The man had a thick black beard on his upper lip and thinning hair.A light-colored waist-pinch plaid suit is very decent.The tie knot is very small, a handkerchief is inserted in the left pocket, the shoulders are slightly raised, and the vest of the same style is inside the suit, and all the details are neatly tidied up. This might be a banker, Jiang Xia thought. "What about the date?" "As you say, May 26th, 1889." The man nodded and looked at Faina, his gaze was like a sharp knife trying to dig out everything in Faina's heart.Jiang Xia has never been used to the relationship he and Faina are in now, and it still feels creepy to be stared at like this. "Can you find a way to get that baby specimen out?" Jiang Xia was startled, and he felt that Faina was also shocked. "How is this possible?" The little girl was in a dilemma. "Our principal keeps the key to the warehouse. You don't know how nervous I was when I secretly handed the key back to her last night." Jiang Xia suddenly realized that it turned out that Faina seemed to have bumped into Principal Gustri inadvertently, but actually returned the key to the warehouse.This little girl is not simple! However, no matter how carefully Jiang Xia thought about it, he didn't notice anything in Faina's hand.Moreover, after the door of the warehouse was closed, it was almost a flat wall, and there was no key hole. "I know it's difficult," the man grabbed Faina's hand, "but you know, this baby is very important to me. If it weren't for your hospital's strict management, I would rather go get it myself than let you Go get those dirty things." Jiang Xia had never been grabbed by a man like this before, and subconsciously pulled back.But it was useless, it was Faina's hand after all, she let this man hold it, her heart was very sweet.Even Jiang Xia felt the happiness in the heart of this little girl who was pregnant with spring. "But, Pat." "Shhhhhhhh..." Pat shook his head and put a finger on Faina's lips. "You can do it baby." Get this set!Jiang Xia cursed in her heart. "Everything in the warehouse is recorded, what should I do if it is found?" Faina didn't lie, Jiang Xia remembered that there were stacks of records in the drawer in the warehouse, probably what she said. "You give me that baby, and I'll get some stuff and repack it and you put it back. A week's enough. Nobody's going to find out. Only you can help me, darling." Imagining these scenes, Faina couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body, and asked with concern: "Pat, what are you doing? Tell me, please? Why do you always ask me to do such disgusting things? I It hurts to see those dead children." Pat grabbed Faina's hand and put it on his forehead, lowered his head in thought, then shook his head: "I can't say it yet. I didn't tell you to protect you. You are still young, so you shouldn't know too much. You just need to understand , that baby matters, matters to the whole world!" Jiang Xia looked into Pat's eyes, and he didn't seem to be lying.But what energy can a baby who has been dead for nearly fifty years have to threaten this world? Faina bit her lip and stopped talking.That's right, a man she loves has said everything to this point, what else can she say?Only follow him to do it. The man showed a satisfied smile, and stroked Faina's hair and cheeks with his hands, making Jiang Xia excited again. This Pat is probably Megan's brother.The age difference between these two people is nearly ten or twenty years old, and there is no similarity in the whole body except that the clothes are also noble.Megan is dignified and dignified, but Pat makes Jiang Xia inexplicably disgusted.Oops!Jiang Xia thought of one thing, and his heart suddenly trembled. He was afraid that he would be forced to do something that he had never done in his life. Sure enough, Pat looked at Faina affectionately, bowed, and kissed her... Founded in 1869, Boston Children's Hospital is arguably the oldest children's hospital in the world.The founder, Dr. Francis Brown, is a doctor who graduated from Harvard Medical School and was a surgeon for the Union Army during the American Civil War.After the Civil War, Dr. Brown traveled throughout Europe, studying hospital architecture.After returning to the United States, he called together several former colleagues to set up Boston Children's Hospital with only 20 beds at that time.And that small hospital has now become one of the four flagship hospitals of Harvard Medical School.During a visit to Boston with Ye Guangting and Zhou Qingzi, Jiang Xia took a special look around. Some old buildings from that time are still preserved, and they are still used for some purposes.I don’t know if the Ida Smith ward building is still there.When visiting the Harvard Museum, Jiang Xia noticed an anecdote in the early days of Boston Children's Hospital.One of Dr. Brown's partners, William Canddington, was a well-known surgeon at the time. Hand nerve connection.It took only five hours in total, and three operations were sutured successively, and all of them were successful.Although this incident was investigated by the local medical ethics committee in Boston and given heavy punishment, many people in the industry marveled at Candington's superb medical skills, and he became famous.However, facing pressure from the outside world, Dr. Brown had to ask Candington to leave the hospital. The proud Canddington started a new business in Salem, the "city of witches" not far from Boston, and opened a surgical clinic called "The Third Unit". surgery.This is nothing more than playing with the medical ethics committee and Dr. Brown. With Canddington's knowledge and reputation in children's surgery, "Third Channel" got off to a smooth start.He is invited to perform many difficult operations from all over the world.However, in the last few years of the nineteenth century, patients in Candington Hospital died strangely one after another.Obviously the operation was done well, but the patient died inexplicably within a few days after returning to the ward.Candington did a detailed autopsy on the deceased but found no cause, and he invited the police to investigate the scene but found nothing.Cantington had no choice but to close down, and after a few months of depression, he died, leaving behind his wife and newborn son. This reminds people of the legend about witches in Salem at the end of the seventeenth century and the resulting massacre.At that time, Salem was just a small town, and John Putnam, a respected old man in the town, invited a big businessman, Jasamu Pallis, to be the mayor.After some scrutiny, Pallis accepted the job and moved into the town of Salem with his wife Elizabeth, their six-year-old daughter Betty, and a bought West African slave girl, Tituba. The winter of 1692 was very cold, and the mayor's daughter, Betty, got a strange disease. She jumped up and down from time to time, hit the wall with her body, crawled in and out under the furniture, and twisted her body in pain... No one knew that. What is the disease.It didn't take long for Betty's two playmates to have similar symptoms.The doctor was called in to examine it, and it was concluded that some supernatural force was possessing the girls, which he could not cure. As soon as the remarks came out, there was chaos in the town.In that era, people believed in gods and ghosts, and rumors arose one after another, saying that there were witches.The mayor's neighbor is a woman named Mary Sibley, who claims to subdue the witch's spell.So she asked Tituba, the slave girl of the mayor of Palis, to bake bread with rye flour from the urine of the sick girls and feed it to the dogs.Because at that time, it was said that dogs were tools used by witches to transmit their evil magic power.Of course, this method did not work. On the contrary, several girls got this strange disease, and people began to suspect this black female slave named Tituba.Because she was overheard telling stories about voodoo while putting Betty to bed.It was a religion of witchcraft and magic popular among blacks.It was said that Tituba herself was the witch, who had bewitched the girls of the town, and tampered with the baking of rye bread to make the sick's symptoms worse. The residents of the town arrested Tituba and two other women who were suspected of being witches and questioned them one by one.The strange thing is that Tituba said that he was innocent at first, but then suddenly changed his words and admitted that he was a witch, and that he often flew around the town on a stick and talked to the devil.Then the woman began to testify indiscriminately against the women who were "accomplices" with her.The ignorant people believed her words and executed twenty-four innocent people one after another.Most were hanged, and one person was crushed to death by a boulder for two days.Of course Tituba was also put to death, but it was later said that a flying woman on a stick had been seen in the mists of a winter night, just like Tituba. The "Witch Trials in Salem" is a well-known case of injustice in American history. At that time, the new government checked all the people who were executed, but found no traces of the legendary witch's body.It didn't take long for an open letter to be published stating that the conclusions of the trial were wrong. But when a patient in the "Third Station" hospital died for unknown reasons, people brought up the old story again, thinking that Tituba had not died, and returned to Salem to take revenge.People were panicked for a while, but they no longer dared to deal with people casually.Seeing that Candington closed the hospital and died of depression, he gave up and stopped embarrassing the poor widow and orphan.As for those unlucky ghosts who died on the "third channel", no one made any further investigations.Boston Children's Hospital counted and purchased the written materials, instruments and equipment of the "Third Station" one by one, and paid a sum of money to Candington's wife to let their mother and child live. After another night shift, Faina went back to the office and took a small cotton cloak to put on her body, carrying a medium-sized leather bag, and prepared to go home to sleep with tired steps.The lights in the corridor had been turned off, the sunlight came in from the wide windows, and Jiang Xia finally saw the sky.Noisy voices came from the far end of the corridor, and when they approached, it turned out that people were registering with their children.It was already very cold in Boston in late September. Most people wore windbreakers or woolen coats with large fur collars, or held or hugged their children and huddled together, waiting to be called.There was only one nurse sitting behind a crude wooden desk, writing and drawing, answering the phone now and then, and calling the next patient to a different consulting room.Faina was used to seeing it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.Jiang Xia finds it fresh, because Americans used to be so unbearable when they saw a doctor! The weather in the United States in 1935 was clearer and brighter, and the cool air of early autumn was particularly comfortable to breathe into the lungs.The two sides of the main building of the Children's Hospital are lined with old-fashioned baby carriages with awnings against the outer walls.A new building is being built in an empty space across the street from the hospital, and many workers have already gathered in front of reinforced concrete pillars and wooden piles.Some of them are wearing hard helmets, others are still wearing top hats, and they are putting together their own lunch boxes.The foreman, wearing a soiled shirt and waistcoat, was holding a cone of iron and shouting something.The boy wearing a peaked cap next to him distributed white notes to the called workers.All these attract Jiang Xia's attention, I really hope that Faina will walk slowly and browse a lot by herself.But the little nurse seemed to be returning home, and hurried on a brown-red tram that had just arrived at the station.This style of tram has been preserved, but it was later changed to green.Jiang Xia sat there when he came to Boston, but it was just a copy of the original.Jiang Xia knew that the trams in Boston were first built in 1900s, so the one he is sitting on should be the original version.He couldn't help being a little proud, but then he thought about it, wondering if he could go back to 2010 to show off with Ye Guangting, Zhou Qingzi and the others, and he felt sad again. The cars were rattling along, the street was obviously much wider, and there were no buildings on either side.There are not many cars coming and going, mostly Fords and Chevrolets.The tall and fat front face, the wide pedals, the narrow wheels and the rounded wheel eyebrows are all on both sides of the engine and the car, and a round spare tire box is installed on the side of the car... This is clearly in a Hollywood studio , a big drama of gangster mergers is about to begin.Suddenly Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, he saw a small storefront called "Fangtian Groceries", at the door stood a young man with a white apron wrapped around his suit pants, smoking a pipe in his mouth, puffing around Watching, as if waiting for customers.This store was still in the old place when Jiang Xia visited Boston. The place has expanded a lot and the front has been refurbished.Ye Guangting also went in to buy a pack of cigarettes.This young man is probably the founder of this store, and he may still be worried about not having any business. After only three stops, Faina got out of the car.Jiang Xia looked up and saw a white two-story brick house with wide gables and pointed beams.There are four large windows on the second floor, the green window eaves are very eye-catching, and the green wooden grilles are used as decoration around the windows.The four large windows on the first floor are all arched, with green eaves and grilles.What a boldness!Jiang Xia sighed, this style of house is rare in Boston, it should be considered a luxurious building in 1935, right?Faina briskly went up the steps, unlocked the door, and deftly pressed the switch on the copper handle with her right thumb, pulled the door open and walked in.The light in the corridor is very dark, and the winding stairs are narrow and steep. The handrails are newly painted, oily and smooth, and feel particularly good to the touch. Going up to the second floor, Faina opened the door with the key.This is a very large house, with at least five or six bedrooms and a large hall.How could a young little nurse have the ability to buy such a big house?Even renting is too unnecessary, right?Jiang Xia was amazed. The room is clean and bright, and the walls are painted with a single light yellow wall powder and a layer of varnish.The elegant furniture is placed in the right position, which makes people feel very comfortable.Faina put her bag on the wooden floor, took off her cloak and threw it away, and pressed a few keys on the open piano as she passed by, making a melodious scale.She came to the big window, yawned lazily, and untied the linen curtains and closed them. Jiang Xia thought the little nurse was going to bed, but the hoarse doorbell rang. Jiang Xia felt that the skin around Faina's body tightened. She glanced at the purse on the ground, and tiptoed briskly to open the door. Pat walked in, seemingly in a good mood, lightly wrapped Faina's waist with both hands, and kissed her forehead.The leather jacket on his body was blown cool by the wind, and Faina couldn't help shivering as she stuck to it. "Did you sleep well last night, baby." Faina nodded, staring at Pat's leather jacket. "new clothes?" Pat looked down, smiled, and didn't answer. "It's beautiful, isn't it expensive?" Pat hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "A dozen or twenty yuan, what's the matter?" Faina smiled palely and shook her head. "Got it?" Pat asked. Faina nodded. "Well, you've been busy all night, now go to bed obediently. I'll go by myself when I'm done. I'll trouble you to send it back tonight." Faina hesitated for a moment, nodded again, pointed to the leather bag on the ground and said to Pat, "In there, I'll make you coffee." "No, you'd better go to sleep. I don't want you to see it and feel uncomfortable." "I just want to see it." Faina insisted. Pat paused: "Are you sure?" "Sure." "Okay, let's go to your kitchen? It's easy to clean up." With Faina's consent, Pat took her leather bag and went into the kitchen.He first took out a thick plastic cloth and spread it on the desk, and then brought a lot of newspapers and placed them around the plastic cloth, probably to absorb water. He glanced back at Faina.The little girl was watching, but kept away, as if something terrible was about to jump out of nowhere.Pat handed her a clean cloth mask. Pat's handbag was more like a toolbox, made of hard tanned leather, ribbed all over, very strong.He took out a small canvas bag from inside and opened it left and right. It was a set of surgical tools, including scalpels, surgical scissors, mosquito-style vascular forceps, toothed forceps, toothless forceps, needle forceps, and various traction hooks... Look Jiang Xia felt chills in his heart. Putting on a mask and rubber gloves himself, Pat reached into Faina's purse and pulled out a glass jar containing baby taxidermy. Although it was within Jiang Xia's expectation, it was still very uncomfortable to see this jar at this time.She fell asleep last night, unaware that Faina had gone to steal the key again, and went to the warehouse to get the half of the baby's bottle. Pat placed the bottle on the plastic sheet and studied it carefully, as if worshiping a supreme sacred vessel.Then he squatted down to look at the wax seal with the date of manufacture.接着他把手伸到瓶子底下托住，轻轻将瓶子举过头顶，抬头观看。江夏注意到，那里有一枚火漆印。帕特一边看一边摸索着，十分谨慎。 法伊娜又打了个哈欠，泪眼婆娑。 江夏倒是睡了个踏实觉，现在格外精神。他希望法伊娜再忍耐一阵子，自己很想多看看这个男人到底要干什么。 帕特放下瓶子，取出一把小刮刀交到左手，轻轻将瓶口的蜡刮下来收集好。又拿来一只细小的钩子将渗入瓶塞边上的蜡一点点抠挑出来，也放在蜡屑堆里。换了几把柳叶刀，帕特挑了一把既薄又有些硬度的小心地插进瓶塞外缘几个不同的地方轻轻地撬。双手手掌按住瓶体，拇指和食指捏住瓶塞上的突起缓缓地晃动。江夏见到那瓶塞在帕特的用力下正一点点起出来。每晃一阵，帕特便停下来把带出来的蜡屑刮出来收集好，以防瓶塞开了后落入福尔马林中。 “嘭”的一声，塞子开了。帕特探头审视着里面的液体，又小心地将鼻子凑上前闻了闻。他停了一会儿，摘下半边口罩用手扇着气味来闻，自言自语道：“封存了快五十年了，还没什么怪味，难得难得……” 江夏觉得那股气味很是刺鼻，眼睛也被熏得很痛，实在不知道帕特所指的怪味是什么。法伊娜用手捂在口罩外面，直想呕吐。
