CHAPTER XXXV
It seems that this Miao Yilong doesn't seem to like chatting with people, and the tone of the answer to me is cold, and there is no nonsense, I nodded and didn't talk to myself anymore.
Following them downstairs, the four of them opened the rear door of the hearse, carried Wang Deliang's body in, and then got into the car and left, I stood at the gate and watched the hearse gradually move away, and the doorman next to me suddenly asked: "Why are these people in the funeral home cold?"
It dawned on me in my heart, it turned out that Miao Yilong told the doorman that he was a staff member of the funeral home and came to pull the corpse, no wonder the doorman let them in so easily.
I smiled slightly, turned to the doorman, and said, "If you deal with corpses all day, you'll be cold, too." ”
The doorman, a young policeman in his twenties, not only shivered when he heard this, but shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll still be my policeman." ”
I smiled and didn't speak, ignored the little policeman, took out my phone and handed over a taxi, then went to the grocery store next to me to buy a pack of cigarettes and stood on the side of the road waiting for the car to come.
At this time, my mobile phone rang suddenly, I thought it was the taxi driver calling me, I took out my mobile phone and said without thinking: "Master, I am in the position where I am located, you-hmm? Zhang Xiaoshan?"
The call turned out to be from Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan's voice was a little trembling on the phone, as if he was frightened, and I didn't hear what he wanted to say for a long time, so I yelled at the phone: "Zhang Xiaoshan! Calm down! Are you being hunted down or what's going on?"
The purpose of my shout was to calm him down, Zhang Xiaoshan's deep breath came from the phone, and then he said to me: "Brother Wu, I... I may have noticed a deliberate phenomenon. ”
"Huh?" I suddenly came to my senses as soon as I heard this, "Tell me, what kind of anomalous phenomenon?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's voice trembled again, only to hear him say intermittently: "I... I'm talking to you on the phone right now in my room, there aren't many old people here, but there are quite a few rooms. The old people are afraid of loneliness, so Xiaoqing arranged for several of them to live in a room, so that the old people can take care of each other. But I didn't want to live with those old guys, and there happened to be a lot of empty rooms, so Xiaoqing arranged a separate room for me, but last night I found a very strange problem. ”
I asked, "Xiaoqing, who is Xiaoqing?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's voice came: "Is it Dean Luo Xinqing? Have you forgotten that beautiful girl?"
I suddenly became angry: "You have only lived there for a day and a half, and you started calling people Xiaoqing?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's hehe let out two cheap laughs, and then his tone changed, and he became trembling again: "The architectural structure of this nursing home is a bit similar to a townhouse, and the interior is connected to all the rooms by a straight corridor. I thought it was her bedroom, so I wanted to get a peek at it. ”
I got angry when I heard this, you said that you are old like this now, and you still have the heart to do this and that? Do I want it, but as soon as I said the word "you", Zhang Xiaoshan on the other end of the phone hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, don't be in a hurry to scold me first, listen to me!"
"My legs and feet are a little weak now, and when I slowly touched the door of that room, the door of that room was suddenly opened, and Xiaoqing walked out of it, and when she saw me here, she seemed to be startled, and hurriedly closed the door behind her, and then asked me what I was doing here. All I can say is that I can't sleep and come out and wander around the hallway. Xiaoqing became a little angry and asked me to go back to sleep quickly. She also reached out and carried me to my room, and I had no choice but to go back to the house. ”
I listened to his ink for a long time and didn't say why, and was about to scold him for a couple of sentences to let him hurry up and get down to business, when a taxi suddenly stopped beside me, and I saw that the license plate number was exactly the one I called, so I opened the door and sat down, and told the driver the address of the company.
The driver rushed out with one foot on the accelerator, while I continued to listen to Zhang Xiaoshan's report.
"From that point on, I thought there must be something wrong in that room, you know I'm a tough person, and the more people don't let me do anything, the more I want to do something. She mysteriously didn't want me to go into that room, so I did, and I was looking for an opportunity all day today.
But this Xiaoqing is so dedicated, she accompanies us old people every step of the way, for fear that any old man will have a problem, so I didn't find a chance during the whole day.
But just now, Xiaoqing seemed to have a little stomach ache, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the toilet, and as soon as I saw the opportunity, I immediately got up and went to the room at the end of the corridor. I turned the doorknob and saw that it was unlocked, so I quietly pushed it open, dodged in, and slowly closed the door again.
I originally thought that this would be Xiaoqing's boudoir, but when I turned my head, I found that it was an ordinary room, and the structure was not much different from the room I lived in. Also two beds, a table in the middle, a few chairs. The difference is that near the window there is a rattan rocking chair, the kind on which the old man lies in the sun.
The chair was facing out of the window, and from my vantage point I could only see the back of the chair, but I could tell that there appeared to be a person lying on the chair, covered with a purple blanket. I was a little curious, so I walked over and took a look," Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan's voice began to carry a little crying, "There is actually a lie on the chair - lying in a groove!!! Brother Wu come to help-"
"Zhang Xiaoshan?!Zhang Xiaoshan?!" The voice on the phone stopped abruptly, I yelled twice into the phone, only to hear a busy sound of "doodoo", I quickly called the phone back, but no one answered.
The driver was startled by my yelling just now, and looked back at me with some confusion, "What's wrong with you, buddy?
I didn't answer him, but quickly told him the address of the nursing home and asked him to take me there quickly.
When the driver heard that it was in Qingshan District, he was a little unhappy: "Oh, Lao Tie, let me tell you Ang, the one you want to go to is too far enough, I may not be able to go." ”
I hurriedly said to him, "Hurry up, I'll add money! I'll give you all the money back and forth!"
The driver laughed: "Oh! The old iron is bright enough! Then let's go immediately!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The smell of budding rice stubble made me want to be happy, but when I thought that Zhang Xiaoshan might have encountered danger now, I couldn't be happy in my heart.
To be honest, I didn't really have any friendship with Zhang Xiaoshan, and I regarded him as a burden at first. But calm down and think about it, an ordinary person suffered from this catastrophe, he only has me to rely on, and it is indeed a little pitiful, unconsciously I really treat him as my younger brother, and now that he has an accident, I am also anxious from the bottom of my heart.
The driver drove very fast, but it was indeed some distance from Xianshan District. The car was speeding on the Ring Expressway, and I kept dialing Zhang Xiaoshan's mobile phone along the way, but there was no answer, and my mood became more and more anxious.
About an hour later, the driver finally sent me to Anle Village, I got off at the entrance of the village, and paid double the fare with my mobile phone.
It was already almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the neighborhood was relatively remote, except for a few street lamps on the main road in the middle of the village, which emitted a dim light, and the rest of the village was pitch black, without a trace of light, like a dead village.
I walked along the main road, and with the help of memory, I came to the door of the village committee, and there was a light at the door of the village committee, and the light was quite bright, and this piece was very clear.
Next to it was the nursing home where Zhang Xiaoshan was, and I looked through the low courtyard wall and found that the room was dark and there was no light.
I pushed the door of the nursing home, and the wooden door made a "creaking" sound, but it didn't open, and it seemed that someone had bolted it from the inside, so I had no choice but to cross the low courtyard wall and enter the courtyard.
I came to the front of the house and pushed the door, the wooden door opened with a "creak", I flashed to the corridor, looked back and forth, and found that there were at least a dozen rooms here, I didn't know which room Zhang Xiaoshan was arranged in, but I saw that at the end of the corridor on my right, there was a wooden door that was tightly closed. I know that is the room that Zhang Xiaoshan is talking about.
I stood in the corridor, took out my mobile phone and called Zhang Xiaoshan, and suddenly there was music in a room on the left side of the corridor that I was familiar with:
"I'm looking at the moon, how many dreams are flying freely~~"
The song was supposed to be the ringtone of my old-fashioned phone, and I followed the sound to find that the door to the room was open with a slight push.
I cautiously hid myself behind the door, and cautiously peeked into the room, to find that my phone was lying on a somewhat messy bed, still playing the familiar song:
"I'm looking at the moon, how many dreams are flying freely~~"
I hung up the phone, and the singing came to an abrupt end.
I stepped into the room, reached out and picked up the phone from the bed, and looked around the room again.
Zhang Xiaoshan is right, this is indeed a room for the elderly to live, two single beds, the height is not high or low, and there are protective rails and handles installed next to the bed to facilitate the elderly to get on and off the bed. There was also a thick carpet on the ground, so that even if the old man fell, he would not be too seriously injured. The other arrangements are also very attentive and elegant, and it can be seen that Dean Luo Xinqing is indeed doing this very carefully.
But what happened to Zhang Xiaoshan?
It seems that the answer must be in the room at the end of the hallway.
I walked briskly out of the room towards the room on the other side of the hallway.
The corridor was not too long, and I came to the door of the room in a few steps, and was carefully placing my hand on the handrail of the door, when suddenly a surprised voice came from behind me:
"Mr. Wu?"
I was so excited that I quickly turned around and looked behind me, and found Luo Xinqing, the director of the nursing home, standing behind me.
I have already analyzed it on the way here, and there is a problem with this Luo Xinqing, so as soon as she appeared, I was ready to summon the retainers, but when I turned my head and saw her appearance, I couldn't say anything when I came to the words "the retainers are out".
Don't get me wrong, I'm not fooled by her beauty.
Of course, I have to admit first that she is indeed beautiful, especially in this state ...
