Chapter 329 Between Fear of Death and Fear of Death

Sun Xiangyun stood up, meaning to ask Muchun not to bother pouring water. He was not very thirsty, mainly because he was not used to food outside.

"So you are still afraid of drinking water from outside? Do you know when it started? We talked about it last time. Is it around the same time that insomnia happened?"

The last time Mu Chun said this, Sun Xiangyun didn't pay attention, but now that Mu Chun said this, he actually thought of the nanny he saw at Grandpa Chen's house in the morning.

The round and slightly bloated face, the rough and red fingers like carrots, and the bright rose-red cotton jacket that makes people blind.

My throat suddenly feels dry and tight. It would be best to drink some water, but it's like having a thermos cork stuck in it. I can't swallow the water at all.

After thinking for a minute, Sun Xiangyun suddenly looked at Muchun, with a nervous expression and a serious tone, "It's true, I thought about it, I probably feel dirty."

"Dirty? Sure enough!"

Muchun handed Sun Xiangyun a 350ml bottle of mineral water. Sun Xiangyun unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle.

"How does it feel like being dirty? Does it make you feel that you are in danger or can you transmit diseases?"

Muchun asked.

"It's all there. How should I put it? It probably has something to do with my visit to an old friend. Lao Wu was not doing well this winter. He was in bed almost all day long and didn't even have the energy to take photos at home. After I came back from visiting him, It was like I couldn't sleep at first. Then, I didn't want to drink the water you gave me last time. I didn't think of the reason at that time, but this Saturday I went to Lao Wu's house again, and the nanny poured me a glass of water. They brought me apples and oranges, but I didn’t eat them. For more than an hour, I stayed with this old friend, talking vaguely, and didn’t eat anything. He seemed a little unhappy about this.”

"I feel uncomfortable after visiting the patient. This is understandable and can even explain many problems, such as fear of death."

"Afraid of death?" Sun Xiangyun repeated in confusion.

"It's like this. It's easy for us to empathize with other people's pain. For example, after visiting an old friend who is paralyzed in bed, we will think about what we should do if we are like this. Will someone take care of us? Will we also As embarrassed as an old friend."

"Yes, I do have such thoughts."

Sun Xiangyun looked at Muchun in surprise.

"Well, this kind of thought comes naturally, but you will unconsciously think not to have these boring thoughts, because you are a literate person, you know that this kind of thinking is unnecessary, why should things that happen to other people matter? If you try to live a good life, you will have some physical conflicts at this time."

Sun Xiangyun nodded, "Also, I think the smell is also affected. There is an unpleasant smell in the whole room."

"The lifeless and stinky smell is a smell that makes people easily associate it with bad things. Sometimes, some people will have diarrhea, headache, and difficulty breathing in that kind of bad environment. Not everyone can take care of those who are bedridden. That’s a bad feeling for an old man.”

"That's right, and that nanny, she always makes me feel dirty. She doesn't want to clean it up at all, and she also looks like she's cheating money." Sun Xiangyun nodded with self-confidence as he spoke.

"Nanny? Is she the one who takes care of Lao Wu?" Mu Chun asked.

"Yes, speaking of this nanny, I saw it at Grandpa Chen's today. It seemed that she went to Grandpa Wu's during the day and took care of her at Grandpa Chen's house at night. I was thinking, if people die in our area, I will probably go to the candle shop owner. Did this old man’s life depend on the nanny before he died? He just looked after the nanny all day long?”

"It would be nice to have a young nanny dressed as a maid."

Muchun suddenly smiled evilly.

Sun Xiangyun was a little stunned when he heard it, but he started laughing after he realized it.

This ghost doctor really knows how to speak human words.

"So, it's fear." Muchun said, handing the previous checklist to Sun Xiangyun. "According to the results of your previous physical examination, and my additional examination last week, it seems that the sleep problem is caused by mental stress. Recently, there are quite a few people who have poor sleep, especially some retired elderly people, and some old friends around them are sick. When some old neighbors die, they will think of themselves and wonder if they will be like this too. Then they think about it like, what if I collapse in bed? Who will take care of my grandson at home? What if I can't get out of bed? , who will take care of things like serving tea, water, eating, drinking, and defecating? Many people say that nannies are not good and are just fooling people. If an old man wets his pants, he will not change them in time even if he covers them. The children are still enthusiastic when they are there. At a point, you just let the old man do whatever you want when you are away. You are not your biological father or grandfather, so no one will take care of you seriously as a relative, right?"

Before Muchun could finish speaking, he just took a breath. Sun Xiangyun immediately said: "It's really just like what you said. She will definitely think of herself. This nanny is really unreliable. My wife is pregnant." They would say that after giving birth, we shouldn’t bother the elderly to help or spend money to find a confinement nanny, etc. Both of us are opposed to it, how can outsiders take care of it?”

"Taking care of children may be a little easier, but taking care of the elderly is really not easy. After all, the elderly have their own charm, and sometimes they are stubborn and unreasonable, right? We all have similar understandings of the elderly. Although there are some who are easy to talk to, after all, when people are old and ugly, they are not as comfortable to look at as children. So everyone says that when children make noises, there are people who love and comfort them, but when the elderly make noises, everyone is annoyed."

"These days, I really can't afford to get old and sick."

"Yeah, and I can't afford to die." Mu Chun made a face.

"Really, it's true. I think about this all day long, and I hear that someone has passed away. My wife also told me about this this morning, and I went to Grandpa Chen's place on purpose."

"Well, then it's even more lingering. Death lingers in my mind, like chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoes." Mu Chun said.

After listening to this, Sun Xiangyun gulped down another half bottle of water. It seems that he thinks too much and is troubled by death.

"Everyone is afraid of death, so we are very sensitive to death. The older we are or the ones who have elderly parents and children, the more sensitive we are, because death and illness mean that we lose our freedom to live. It's scary to think about it, isn't it?"

Mu Chun folded his hands over his chest and shivered a few times.

"Do doctors also have this problem?"
