Brother Wang?

I stared at the dark shadow in front of me, not daring to move, my whole body stiffened like a piece of wood.

"Dr. Chen. ”

The shadow spoke suddenly.

The sound is familiar.

I was startled and took out my mobile phone to illuminate it, only to find that it was not Wang Qing at all, but the old man.

"Old man, why did you come here, you almost scared me to death. I let out a long sigh of relief and smiled wryly.

The old man was silent for a long time, and under the illumination of the mobile phone flashlight, his face looked extremely solemn, as if he was twitching.

"Doctor Chen, I.... Am I dying?"

It took a long time for the old man to say something tremblingly.

I was stunned and said, "Why are you saying that?"

The old man said that he had just heard the call of death.

The Call of Death?

I didn't react for a while, and I didn't have time to ask immediately, and it was twelve o'clock in more than ten seconds, so I hurriedly pulled the old man out.

Coming outside, I asked him, what is the call of death?

The old man said with a gloomy face that he had been hearing crying next door just now, a bit like a baby crying, so noisy that the old man couldn't sleep.

I thought to myself, what's the matter, isn't it just crying?

Explain to him that it must be the wild cats outside barking, so that he should not think nonsense.

Unexpectedly, the old man directly interrupted me and loudly denied me.

"No, it's not a wild cat, I can tell the sound of a wild cat!" said the old man solemnly, "and besides, the cry is not from the window, but from ......"

"And what?"

"It's coming from the next room. ”

I frowned and said it was impossible, four buildings were occupied, there were no pregnant women, and it was impossible to have babies.

"If you don't believe me, follow me to have a look!" The old man was in a hurry, took my hand and rushed to the fourth floor.

I was a little reluctant, but after all, I was the night watchman here, and I had to take some responsibility for the patient, so I had to suppress my reluctance and go with him.

When we got to the fourth floor, we searched around and didn't hear any crying at all.

"Yes, old man, you must have misheard. I laughed.

"No way! This baby has been crying for hours, and I can't sleep because I'm so noisy that I come to you. The old man said firmly.

"Eighty percent of them were wild cats barking. ”

The old man was still stubbornly sure that he had heard correctly, that I wanted to leave, and that he wanted me to stay here and wait.

I knew he was too worried about death, and he was just scared in his heart.

Actually, I can understand that.

After all, when people are old, they take death very seriously, and who doesn't want to live for a long time.

But for the sake of the old man's peace of mind, I decided to stay here for a while.

I asked the old man to go back to the ward to rest, and I guarded the door, and the old man rolled his eyelids and said How can it be done, how can you stand guard for me?

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to want to go back, I didn't insist anymore, so I had to nod and agree.

I took out my phone and swiped it.

After about half an hour, the air seemed to drop quite a bit and became a little cold.

There is no air conditioning outside the corridor, but here it is sheltered from the sky, the temperature is humid, and there is no sun exposure all year round, so the four buildings are almost never warm.

I rubbed my hands together and wondered if I should go back to the lounge to get a coat and put it on.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry of "babbling".

The voice is harsh.

I shuddered and stood up.

"Did you hear that? I said there was a baby crying. ”

The old man said excitedly.

I didn't say anything, feeling like the cry should be nearby.

I began to search along the old man's room one by one.

The crying became clearer and clearer.

It's kind of like the sound of fingernails scratching and rubbing on a chalkboard.

Inexplicably a little irritable, very eager to find out the source of this sound.

But, no, where did the baby come from in the four buildings?

The farther I go, the more chilled I feel.

As much as I hate to believe it, the facts are in front of me at this moment.....

Crying!

It's from Ward 4!

The old man walked up to me, frowned, and said, "It doesn't seem that there are any people living in this ward, right?"

I thought to myself, not only was there no one living there, but the gate was locked.

"Hey, what's this?"

The old man walked to the door with a big grin and tossed with the gossip mirror on the door beam.

"Don't move!"

I immediately became nervous and rushed over to stop the old man.

Seeing the old man looking at me suspiciously, I explained to him that this was a forbidden area of the four buildings, and it was not allowed to be touched casually.

The old man disagreed, and said, "What kind of forbidden area, I think there must be something unsightly hidden! Get out of the way, let me open the door and go in to see." ”

"Don't, don't, old man, you should cooperate with my work, if this door is opened, my job will be lost. I hurriedly said to the old man.

He looked at me deeply and said, "Okay, don't embarrass you, kid, but the problem is that there's a baby in there, so don't you just let it go? Isn't that murder!"

As he spoke, the baby's cry inside became louder.

Actually, I also felt that something was wrong, the door of ward 4 was locked, and even if there were wild cats, they should not be able to enter, let alone babies.

Could it be that the windows inside are not closed?

"I'll call the leader and ask. ”

I took out my mobile phone and dialed Sister Li's number.

At more than twelve o'clock in the morning, Sister Li estimated that she was also asleep, and the phone was answered after a while.

A tired voice came from the other side: "Xiao Lei, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"Sister Li, it's like this, there's a ..... from ward four"

In the middle of my sentence, I suddenly stopped, and my eyes widened!

He looked at the old man in horror.

He didn't know when he walked to the door of Ward 4 again, and reached out to hold the doorknob.

There was a "crunch" and the door was opened.....
