Chapter 51: The Talkative Boss
When the old man found out, he ran back like crazy, but he couldn't run out, and he kept going around in circles in the hospital. "When the middle-aged boss spoke, I was afraid that his spit would spray on my face.
After a few laps, the old man realized that he might have encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
To deal with such a thing as "ghosts hitting the wall", each place has its own way of dealing with it.
One of the methods that circulate in this town is to pee on the walls at the base.
As soon as the old man peed down, the whole person became unconscious, and he fell down. At this point, the restaurant owner paused for a long time.
Only then did I react and quickly asked, "What happened to him later?"
The boss looked at me proudly, and continued with a look that counts you as a kid: "That old man has fallen into evil, and all his urine and mud have been wiped on his face. The eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth were stuffed to the brim. ”
"The old man is also a big man, if someone hadn't found it at dawn, it is estimated that the old man would have died there. Usually, anyone who has nothing to do goes back to the neighborhood and hides away. That is, there are a few in our neighborhood that are in tatters, and they are full of things during the day and leave them there temporarily, and they don't dare to stay overnight. ”
The old man was also found by the rags, and only then did he save his life.
"Uncle, where does the old man live, I am interested in this aspect of things, and I want to meet him. ”
The restaurant owner took out one and handed it over, and I waved my hand to signal that I was not smoking, and he took it in his mouth and lit it himself.
After taking a hard breath, he said to me: "You can't see the old man, the children heard about this a few days ago, and they picked up the old man overnight. ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album and handed it to me: "Look, it's this old man, when the hospital was still in the past, he often came to my restaurant to eat." ”
When I saw the old man in the album, my frightened chopsticks fell to the ground.
grabbed the hand of the restaurant owner, and stared at the old man in the picture with wide eyes.
I'm all too familiar with this old man, I've just seen him.
It was the burnt photo in the morgue.
"Young man, this old man is not your relative, is he?" said the restaurant owner, shaking his hand and looking a little displeased.
Only then did I realize that something was wrong, and I quickly let go of my hand.
"Not really, I just want to see something clearly. I have heard that there is a precursor to hell. I want to see if there's anything on the face of this old man in the photo. ”
After hearing what I said, the restaurant owner looked at me with disdain: "That's the gentleman who tells fortunes." I see that your young man is still a college student, and he ran to the town to chase the girl? But the young man's vision is okay, and the girl with you looks good during the day. ”
Speaking of this, the restaurant owner's face turned obscene.
I didn't deny it, and now I still want to know from him.
"Uncle, what did you say about the few high school students in the town before?" I pulled the topic back again.
When talking about these high school students, the restaurant owner's face was obviously much more serious than just now.
I just told me that the rumors of the old man hitting the ghost are just talking about it after dinner.
"Alas, those babies are also thieves and bold. These people in our neighborhood walk around the hospital in broad daylight. A few young men didn't know the severity, so they went to the hospital in the middle of the night, didn't they look for death. ”
What he said next was similar to what I heard from Liang Bing.
Even a few girls surrounded the unconscious boys, looking at them like beasts, and they were all told by the restaurant owner vividly, making people feel as if they were in it.
"I heard that on the night when those students went in, some people saw ghosts 'picking up their daughters-in-law' in the middle of the night. ”
The restaurant owner suddenly lowered his voice and said with a mysterious face.
Unlike the previous one who knew exactly about the old man, this time someone saw it, but everyone was spreading it.
As for whether it's true or not, no one knows, anyway, it's just coming out. And not only that, but there are also many versions that have been circulated. Some people say that the hospital burned a bride to be married, and every night she would wear a red wedding dress and wander around the abandoned hospital.
Some people also said that the fire in the hospital back then was that the place where the hospital was built blocked the way for ghosts to "pick up their daughters-in-law", so they caught fire in the middle of the night unknowingly.
Otherwise, the fire could not be extinguished after the fire brigade arrived.
"Uncle, aren't you afraid to open the shop here?" I asked curiously as I watched the night fall outside, while eating.
In this area, only their shop is the nearest abandoned hospital.
"You don't know this, look around, my store has the best business. Do you know why?"
Seeing me shake his head, he laughed and said, "Why did you come to my restaurant for dinner instead of going to a few other stores?"
"It's because there are a lot of people like you who are interested in the abandoned hospital, and people come to ask almost every few days. In the first two years, not only people from our town, but also from the county, the city, and other provinces, many people came to inquire about the hospital. ”
"Some of those people are just as innocent as you are, and some of them are uneasy and kind. ”
"No matter who you are, as long as you are here to give money and eat safely, we don't care about that thing. ”
The boss's cigarette has been replaced for the third time, and it may be that the business has not been good recently, and I am constantly nagging.
Coming out of the tavern, I have already received a lot of useful information.
It seems that there is a force that has set its sights on this abandoned hospital, and the specific purpose is still unclear.
After returning to the hospital, the number of middle-aged couples at the door has been reduced by half, and only the man is still holding on.
From the exhaustion on the faces of several people, you can feel how much psychological pressure they have been this week. I have just experienced Zheng Ling's incident before, and I can understand their current mood very well.
Besides, Zheng Ling still has me running around looking for a solution.
And now, they can only pin their hopes on the doctors in the hospital, or a miracle happens.
"Uncle, was there anything unusual about your child before the accident?" I saw a parent sitting on a bench in the aisle very decadently, walked straight over and sat next to him, and asked.
My voice almost startled him, and he staggered to look up at me, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you Liang Bo have anything unusual before the incident?" he had seen me and Liang Bing in the afternoon, and asked me directly.
