Chapter 61: Half-Dead
The beard lifted Erlang's legs and leaned on the sofa, wiped his hair and continued: "About a month ago! Someone pulled two large pieces of rosewood wood over the material, and wanted the boss to personally process a pair of Qing Dynasty court-style inlaid luodian triangular chairs as a dowry for his daughter's marriage, the material is really a top material in a million, the estimated market price is not less than 30 million, the boss was very happy to receive the deposit, agreed to take it three months later, and then the boss almost day and night to design and carve, but just a few days ago, the boss suddenly fainted in the studio, the doctor said that he was overworked and needed to rest, and then the next day began to scratch the wall, while scratching and saying"You come out for me, I won't kill you when you come out", scratch it almost two or three times a day, each time it's the same words, and then it's fatigue, but the results of a check show that all the indicators of the body are normal, so I wondered if it was a legendary ghost, so I took it upon myself to find someone to inquire about you, and I want you to see what the situation is and whether it can be solved"
I don't think he could say anything more valuable, so he nodded and asked to see his boss, and he didn't refuse to lead me up to the second floor.
There were a few abstract paintings hanging on both sides of the long hallway, I don't know how much they were worth, but I really couldn't appreciate them, and then the bearded man pushed open the innermost door, and made a small gesture to me at the door, and turned on a small floor lamp in the room to beckon me in.
The decoration in the bedroom is very simple, except for a large bed, there is a super large desk, there are a lot of books stacked on the desk, and there are a lot of papers, because it is far away I don't see what the content is, this room gives people a very cold feeling, but there is no evil spirit, I walked to the bed to see the face of the victim, but before I could get closer, the owner suddenly got up, and then quickly got out of bed, squatted in the corner of the wall next to the bed and began to dig the ground with his hands, although his strength did not have any effect on the hard marble floor at all, but his sudden action still made me take a few steps back。
The bearded man behind me quickly grabbed me and whispered in my ear, "I'm getting sick again."
This sentence actually sounds a little disrespectful to me, I don't know what status this beard has in this family, but judging from his tone and dress, it should not be low, but after all, he calls the person who is struggling to scratch the ground at this time the boss, since it is his boss, the least respect should be there, right?
Is it because he and his boss usually have a good relationship? Or is there another reason? I don't know, so I can only observe the victim squatting in the corner first, and when I see that there is not much wrong with the other party, I turn my head and ask the beard: "How long does it take for your boss to scratch it to get back to normal?"
The bearded man replied: "It's only a matter of a few minutes, I guess it's going to be soon, and you can ask him directly in a while."
I nodded, and looked patiently at the owner in the corner, only to see his left and right hands fussing back and forth on the ground, and muttering with words in his mouth: "Where are you? Come out for me, and I won't kill you when you come out."
I took two steps in the direction of the victim suspiciously, there was indeed no evil aura on him, but his behavior seemed to be abnormal, although the voice was a middle-aged man, but there was a trace of anger in his words, although it was not obvious, but I could hear it.
I put my hand on the tong ting in my pocket, wanting to see what he had encountered ten days ago, but at this moment, the body of the victim fell back sharply and fell directly to the ground, and then his limbs shook wildly, a bit like a sheep's horn wind, his body couldn't stop trembling, his eyes widened, and he rolled his eyes and looked at me who was standing less than two steps away from him, the expression was extremely terrifying, and his mouth was half open as if he wanted to say something, I frowned, and my heart was even more puzzled, what the hell is going on? It looks like an evil spirit, but there is no evil qi in his body, isn't there really some disease?
Indirect psychosis? Well, it's a bit like, but psychosis doesn't have convulsions!
Is it indirect psychosis plus epilepsy?
The more I pondered, the more I felt that this person was really sick and not evil, and that he could be cured if he was sick!
Thinking of this, the owner on the ground seemed to have relieved his illness a little, and finally slowly got up from the ground with a few strokes, and the beard behind me hurriedly walked to the owner of the matter, helped him to the bed, and then whispered to the owner, that is, his boss: "Brother, I invited you to a half-immortal, if you are uncomfortable, just tell him, see if he can help you, if not, I will change someone."
The master, who was finally lying on the bed, groaned and said weakly: "Then turn on the light and let him come and have a look...... By the way, did you do what I asked you to do?"
The bearded man nodded at the victim and said, "Don't worry, brother! It's all done, and now Mary is the only one left in the house."
The victim closed his eyes, sighed weakly and said, "That's good...... Well, let's go turn on the lights!"
The words they said were not loud, but they didn't seem to want to hide what I meant, so I heard every sentence clearly.
I thought to myself, it turns out that this bearded man is the carpenter's younger brother! No wonder there is no employee in awe of the boss, but then again, this beard is also problematic, brother is brother, and called the boss, this brother is really a wonder, and listen to the meaning of the two of them, it seems that there are other people in this villa, maybe this owner asked his brother to send the other people away, and now there is only the one named Mary, I guess it is the Filipino maid!
Just thinking of this, the beard pressed the switch next to the bed, and the room suddenly became bright, and then he turned his head and said to me: "Zhong Xiaoxian, please come and see my brother, what is going on with him?"
I hurriedly nodded, and walked to the side of the bed to see the victim, it didn't matter, I was surprised at first, and then I was surprised and then "groaned" in my heart, this ...... This man ......!
The victim lying on the bed looked exactly the same as the beard sitting on the edge of the bed, it is obvious that the two are twin brothers, to say that the difference is that the beard of the two is slightly different, the beard of the victim is more on both cheeks and less on the chin, while his brother has less beard on both sides of the cheeks and slightly more on the chin, which looks a bit like the opposite of concave and convex, which surprised me, but then when I saw the purple and black patches on the face of the depressed victim on the bed, my heart immediately jumped wildly, this Nima is a corpse spot!
People who know a little bit about medical pathology know that this corpse spot is one of the phenomena that appear on the corpse after death, which is due to the cessation of blood circulation after death, the lack of power in the blood in the cardiovascular system and accumulates along the blood vessel network at the bottom of the corpse, and the dark purple to purple red marks presented through the skin, most of them are on the back, buttocks, and limbs of the corpse, and a small number of them will appear on the cheeks, and this corpse spot generally appears 2-4 hours after death, and develops to the highest height after 12-14 hours, 24- After 36 hours, it was basically stable and did not move until the body decomposed.
But this phenomenon only appears after death! How can this 30-year-old living man have corpse spots on his face?
Could it be?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the subject in front of me carefully, and then opened his eyelids, looking at his somewhat dilated pupils, only to see that a thin gray-white line appeared on the black pupils, although the color was extremely light, but I also caught it, and sure enough, it was so.
I took a deep breath, lifted my aching neck, and stood up.
"Zhong Xiaoxian, my brother ?......"
Seeing that my expression was a little solemn, the bearded man seemed to be a little worried, and wanted to ask something, but he looked at the owner on the bed and stopped talking, and finally stared straight at my face for a long time, and finally sighed and still didn't say the next words.
"Let's go out! arrange me a room, I'll stay here tonight."
I glanced at the beard, gave him a look, and then told the owner on the bed, let him rest well, and talk about the rest tomorrow, after the explanation, I turned around and walked out of the door, and when the beard saw this, he followed closely behind my ass and gently closed the door.
"Zhong Xiaoxian, what's wrong with my brother?"
When the two of us stepped out of the range of what the victim could hear, the bearded man couldn't wait to pull me and then asked.
"Your brother is really not in a good state now, it should be said that it is very bad" I ignored him and continued to walk towards the stairs.
The bearded man paused, then hurried after me and continued to ask.
"What's that mean?"
"I can only tell you that he is now a half-dead man, and if he doesn't find out the cause soon, he probably won't live for ten days" I didn't stop at all as I walked down the stairs towards the living room
