Chapter 165: Escape from the pharmacy
After an hour, I heard the sound of beating the watch outside, it was already the fifth watch, and it was about to dawn in another hour, and nothing happened, so the two gradually calmed down, slowly closed their eyes and slept for a while.
When he was napping, Yang Mingde suddenly felt that someone was pinching his neck, and he couldn't breathe, he shook his head desperately and tried to break free, but he couldn't break free, and he woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the white hanged ghost beside the bed was the old hanged ghost, with his tongue sticking out and his eyes bulging and staring at him. A pair of wizened hands with pointed nails were pinching his neck, pinching him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Yang Mingde struggled desperately and kicked with his feet. kicked Zhang who was lying next to him. Zhang, who had been sleeping in a daze, was suddenly kicked awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the white hanged ghost was pinching his neck, screaming in fright.
Maybe it was because there was a scream, which scared the hanged ghost away, only to see the white shadow flash, disappearing out of thin air, Yang Mingde kept moving, stroking his erect neck, coughing vigorously, and propped up from the bed with difficulty, probes to the ground, and looked around the house, black coo, nothing, at this time has entered the darkness before dawn, the moonlight has long been gone, but if the white figure is in front of them, he should be able to see.
Yang Mingde gasped and said, "Hurry up the lights, hurry up the lights!"
Yang Mingde screamed a few times, and Zhang's screaming stopped, and he was bold enough to open his eyes to see that there was no hanged ghost in the house, so he hurriedly climbed out of bed and fumbled to light the lantern at the head of the bed.
The two men held each other and held the lantern, and looked around the room again, their bedroom was not very large, and the furniture was not very small, and they looked at every corner, but there was nothing.
The two sat on the edge of the bed with lanterns, not knowing what to do for a while, and by the light of the light, Zhang's voice pointed to Yang Mingde's neck and said, "Official, your neck is bleeding." ”
Yang Mingde didn't feel anything before, but after hearing this, he also felt that his neck was hot, and when he reached out and touched it, his palms were full of blood. He said in horror, "This, what's going on?"
Zhang's face was pale, his face was like earth, and he said: "I just saw that hanged ghost pinching you with his hands, his nails are long, and he must have scratched your neck with his nails." Oh, sir, this house is haunted! Let's not go outside, right?"
Where else does Yang Mingde have any ideas? Hearing her say this, he nodded busily. So the two of them staggered out of the house with the lantern in their arms, and came outside.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the lobby of the pharmacy, they felt even more gloomy, because the lobby was much wider than the bedroom, and the lantern light in their hands could not shine on every corner of the lobby, but only a few feet away from their feet, so the corners of the lobby were full of black holes on the roof, as if full of terrifying gods and monsters. At this time, they were not daring to go back to the haunted bedroom, so they trembled and hugged each other, sat on the bench by the door, and looked around in horror.
They knew that the more they were afraid to look at these places, the easier it might be to find strange things, and the easier it was to be afraid, but under the horror, they could no longer suppress this nervousness, and instead looked towards the place where something terrible was most likely to happen.
The more fearful things are, the more likely they are to appear. Just as the frightened eyes of the two were looking around in the dark hall, suddenly, Zhang, saw a black person lying on the top of the hazy high medicine cabinet. The man's eyes glowed green, and he was staring at her.
Zhang Shi thought he was dazzled at first, and when he blinked and looked again, he saw that the pair of green and faint eyes, more and more fierce, staring at him, his mouth open, revealing long fangs, white and conspicuous in the dark.
Because the first two times I saw it suddenly in my sleep, but this time I saw it in an unusually awake situation, and I was even more frightened, and I threw myself into my husband's arms with a scream, and my whole body trembled, and I couldn't even speak.
Yang Mingde was also startled, and when he looked at her, he also saw a pair of green eyes, staring at him, and the terrible white teeth.
Yang Mingde screamed, hugged his wife and fell backwards, slammed, and fell under the table. The two of them crawled under the table legs again, curled up in the corner, hugging each other, not daring to look outside.
The lantern on the table fell to the floor, the candle went out, and the room fell into darkness. After losing the light, the fear in the hearts of the two has reached its peak, and they just feel that they are about to be frightened crazy.
And just then, there came a terrible and strange laughter, which was unusually erratic, one moment overhead, one moment to the kitchen, another moment to the door, and suddenly to their table.
Yang Mingde hugged his wife tightly, frightened, and turned his head to find a place to pull his wife out. And at this moment, with a whoosh, a human head poked down from above the long case. The two eyes of the man were bulging, like two lanterns, shining in the darkness, the mouth was wide open, and the teeth of Bai Sensen and the long tongue were sticking out and dancing in the air.
At this time, Yang Mingde completely collapsed, screamed, stood up suddenly, and his thin body actually overturned the heavy long case, and pulled his wife Zhang out to run, Zhang's legs were also weak, but seeing that her husband did not give up on herself at this time, he suddenly had the courage, and he had a little strength under his feet, and followed his husband to the door.
Yang Mingde wanted to open the small door, but in a panic, he didn't know where the latch was. It was Zhang who usually opened the door, and Zhang regained a moment of calm and shock at this moment, accurately grabbed the latch and opened the small door, the two staggered out, but they tripped over the high threshold, and fell heavily on the bluestone steps outside the house, screaming in pain, but they didn't care about it at all, and staggered and climbed until they reached the center of the street.
At this time, it was still dark, but it was more reassuring to be in an empty street than in a dark haunted house. And at this time, some people have already gotten up early to go to the morning market, or are in a hurry. There were footsteps near and far, and people looked at them curiously, walking past them.
Hearing someone talking, and early risers coming and going, they stood up in horror by the help of each other, and looked back at the small door of the black hole, and there was a faint sound of terrible ghost laughter inside.
At this time, the small door of the jewelry store next door opened, and the shopkeeper Zhu and his wife ran nervously while dressing, followed by a maid carrying a lantern, and the shopkeeper Zhu asked with concern: "What's the matter? What's wrong? I heard screams in your room......
Yang Mingde saw the shopkeeper of the jewelry store who had never spoken to him appear by his side when he needed help the most, and immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and pointed to the door of the black hole with trembling and said: "There are ghosts, our house is haunted......!
Shopkeeper Zhu immediately understood that Sun Dalang must have asked the macaque and his subordinates to do it, otherwise it had been more than ten years, and he had never heard of the haunting of the pharmacy. Shopkeeper Zhu glanced back at his wife Zhu, and the corners of both of them inadvertently showed a smug smile, and then disappeared in an instant.
Shopkeeper Zhu knew that pretending to be a good person at this time would be able to win the trust of the other party, so as not to make the other party suspect him, he believed that the other party would definitely find a way to get Yang Mingde and his wife away from the house after spending money, at this time, there was no need to add fuel to the fire, it was wisest to pretend to be a good person.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Zhu also looked at the door of the Rejuvenation Hall nervously, but deliberately pretended to be bold and bold and said: "It's okay, it's okay, people are afraid of ghosts for three points, ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, we are all here, ghosts don't dare to come out, let's go, go to my house! Go to my house first!"
Yang Mingde was so grateful that he burst into tears, kept nodding his head to express his gratitude, helped his wife up, and followed Shopkeeper Zhu to her jewelry store. At this time, a few guys came out of the jewelry store and probed their brains.
Mrs. Zhu scolded angrily: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and help Huichun Hall close the door." ”
"Didn't you say it was haunted?"
"You are men, how many of you are still afraid of ghosts? Didn't you hear my officials say that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points?
The man hurriedly agreed, carrying the lantern, timidly, pushing one by one, and finally passed, quickly closed the small door, and locked it.
In the jewelry store.
Yang Mingde and Zhang's faces were as earthy as earth, and they were trembling and talking about what happened. Shopkeeper Zhu was very surprised, seeing the blood marks on Yang Mingde's neck, he quickly asked someone to get medicine to wipe him, but the wound was not deep, the blood had dried up, and there was no need for special treatment.
Yang Mingde and his wife were so frightened that Mrs. Zhang Zhu hurriedly asked someone to make a pot of hot tea for them to drink. The two of them held hot tea, and saw that there were people around them, and there were several lanterns, which illuminated the room brightly, and gradually calmed down their frightened hearts.
Shopkeeper Zhu and his wife have been comforting them constantly, saying that if it is really haunted, Ming'er will go to get a Taoist monk to recite the scriptures, and he will definitely be able to suppress the ghost, don't worry, maybe it is a ghost passing by, seeing that their son is not there, so they come to make trouble, maybe they will leave after making trouble.
This relief made Yang Mingde and his wife feel at ease a little, and they were really grateful. It turns out that people are not the kind of snobbish people, and at critical moments, they are still reliable, which is the truth that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I didn't know before, it turned out that the couple was so enthusiastic, Yang Mingde and Zhang were a little ashamed in their hearts, and they were even more grateful to the Zhu couple for their care.
The sky gradually brightened, and Yang Mingde's mind gradually calmed down. But he did not dare to go out until dawn, when all the doors of the jewelry store were opened.
There were already several patients waiting at the door to buy medicine and seek medical treatment, and I thought they didn't open the door, because according to the previous day, the door had already been opened. A few patients were gossiping and waiting for the door to open.
