Volume 1 Can't Escape the Nightmare Chapter 46 Old You's Tavern

December 3, 2019 20:36

Recently, it has been surprisingly calm, the ghost child virus has not appeared again, and Wang Di has not made any big moves, and everyone seems to have relaxed as if they had made an appointment. But Yang Yue still didn't dare to go home to sleep, Su Kang wanted to stay at the police station to accompany her, but in the end Yang Yue refused.

"Old Fang, it's been so peaceful lately, why don't we take a few days off and go out to have fun?"

"Taiping? What do you want? ”

"Isn't it peaceful? Nothing happened in this time. ”

"Have you forgotten that Long Feng has already obtained my blood? Now I'm afraid it's the calm before the storm. ”

"I want to ask you. Why didn't we act knowing that Long Feng had gotten blood? ”

"Wanli, Wanli..."

"Why are you shouting Wanli..."

Wanli was washing dishes with Yuehan in the kitchen, and when she heard the shout, she came to the living room.

"What's wrong?"

"Drag him to the kitchen and brainwash him, there's too much dirt in it."

"Dirty? Zhang Ze, are you watching something behind my back that shouldn't be seen again? ”

"No, no."

Zhang Ze begged hard to send Wanli back to the kitchen.

"You're still laughing."

"If we act now, Zhou Hongtai will stop cooking."

"Oh, yes, yes, I always forgot that he was in the hands of Long Feng."

Zhonghai City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, followed by other provinces and cities, and a river flows diagonally through Zhonghai City to the sea. The bank is full of weeping willows, green when it is warm, white when it is cold, and there is a beautiful scenery of rime on both sides of the river bank in winter. There is a long alley on the opposite side of the river, and every winter moon will waft out from the depths of the alley to the refreshing aroma of wine, which is Lao You cooking wine. This habit was as rare as his surname, and at this moment there was a burst of wine in the deep alley, which caused the tired people to stop again and again.

"Old You, come to a pot of wine."

"Or half a catty?"

"Let's have a pound today. My son is back, and we have a drink. ”

"Gotcha."

The guest left with the wine satisfied, Lao You used a rag to beat the wine that had been splashed on his body, turned around and entered the house, he touched the photo of his son on the table, and then took the wine glass next to him and drank it all. Back and forth like this, Lao You drank until midnight, and he looked at the clock and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. Lao You staggered out and prepared to put the door panel of the store on the door, and as soon as he went out, he touched the wine vat next to the door panel, a large wine vat more than one meter high, which was full of wine. Lao You bypassed the wine vat and took the door panel and was about to press it against the window, when he suddenly realized something. Lao You looked at the wine vat that he had just bumped into, and Lao You muttered in his heart.

"That's not right. There's less than half a jar of wine left, so why is it full all of a sudden? ”

Lao You thought he was dazzled, and he lay on the side of the cylinder and looked carefully, yes, it was full. Just as he was full of questions, he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear, Dad.

"Dad."

Lao You looked up suddenly, but saw a black shadow standing beside him, a black shadow without a face, and in the next second, Lao You had drowned in the wine vat, his legs swinging up and down on the edge of the vat like a seesaw. This scene was engraved in the eyes of Lao Chen, who was about to go to the construction site for the night, he was so frightened that both legs were weak, and there was a wet and hot feeling in the crotch of his pants. Lao Chen looked at the big change in the black image magic and disappeared, Lao Chen gasped and rushed to the next night now, and went back along the way he came.

Early the next morning, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were called to the morgue of the hospital by Su Kang, and the corpse of Lao You lay on the cold morgue, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at Su Kang in surprise.

"What's going on?"

"This morning the cleaners called the police after finding the body, and we rushed to the scene and after some questioning, we didn't find anything strange, but I found a strange person in the crowd."

"Who?"

"Old Chen for the next night. According to him, he witnessed the whole process of Lao You's murder last night, but the murderer was a dark shadow, and he disappeared after committing the crime. ”

"Where's Old Chen?"

Su Kang took Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to a ward, where Lao Chen was receiving an infusion. After going back last night, Lao Chen didn't sleep all night, and the first thing he did when he got up this morning was to run to Lao You's tavern to check the situation. As soon as I went, I found that it was already full of people, and I stood on the outermost side and watched. But it wasn't the kind of generous look, because of what happened last night, he was a little jealous in his heart, as if the murderer was himself, and then Su Kang discovered his strangeness. After interrogation, he learned that he was an eyewitness, but suddenly Lao Chen began to have a fever, and finally had to be sent to the hospital with Lao You's body.

"Lao Chen, how are you?"

Lao Chen dragged his body against the hospital bed and said weakly.

"Much better."

"Can you describe to me what you saw last night?"

"I see... I saw a black shadow without feet slowly approaching Lao You's back, and then shouted to Lao You's father, and then Lao You was pressed into the wine vat by the black shadow, and after a while, Lao You didn't move, then... Then the shadow suddenly vanished. ”

"Lao Chen, you have to be legally responsible for making a false confession. Do you guarantee that what you say is true? ”

"I promise that what I said is all true, if there is a word of falsification, it will make me die worse than Lao You."

"Okay, we believe you, you can rest."

The three left the ward.

"Su Kang, do you understand Lao You's family situation?"

"I have inquired with people in the community, Lao You was widowed in his early years, and he has always been dependent on his son, but then his son also died in a car accident, and then Lao You once thought about suicide, but after a long period of psychological counseling, Lao You came out of the shadows, and finally opened this tavern with the help of the community."

"Let's go to Lao You's house and have a look."

The three of them came to Lao You's house, the outhouse was full of wine tanks and wine bureaus, and the inner room was a place to rest. Although Lao You is usually alone, his home is well organized and clean. There was a large picture frame hanging on the wall, and it was covered with photographs, and the photos that had not had time to be put in were inserted into the edge of the frame. One of the family photos attracted Fang Fan, and in the middle of the young couple stood a little boy with a tiger's head, the boy was wearing army green clothes, which was a popular children's military uniform at the time, with a large-brimmed hat on his head and a toy gun pinned to his waist. That is the dream of every post-80s boy, and as he grows up, this dream is also growing, some are straight up, and some are folded in the middle of the month.

Another photo next to it is a photo of Lao You and his son, with a cemetery in the background, and a tombstone next to his son, which should be the second group photo of a family of three after many years, and it seems that the father and son are very close from the photo. This is what Fang Fan envies, he grew up in his aunt's house since he was a child, not only his father's love, but even the mother's love that he relied on most as a child, he also lacked it, but now he can more or less make up for it, but there is still a blank space in his heart.

"Old Fang, what are you looking at?"

"Oh... Oh, nothing. What did you find? ”

"Lao You's diary. The diary records that after a big quarrel between father and son, the son ran away from home and died in a car accident. ”

"Is the reason for the quarrel written?"

"There are two reasons, one is that Lao You opposes his son leaving home to go to school, and the other is that Lao You drinks heavily all day long."

"What about the others? Did you find any of those things? ”

"No... There are no signs of any supernatural signs. ”

Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin, and his eyes rolled.

"We're in ambush here tonight."

December 4, 2019 23:48

Fang Fan, Zhang Ze, and Su Kang hid in the car, staring at the door of the Old You Tavern. In order not to be discovered, they did not dare to start the car, and the three of them shivered in the car.

"Old Fang, how long do we have to wait? If I don't come again, I'll freeze to death. ”

"Wait, Su Kang hasn't complained yet."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at Su Kang, this thing was actually asleep, Zhang Ze hurriedly shook Su Kang.

"Wake up, wake up. Don't sleep, it's time for a cold. ”

Su Kang rubbed his eyes and said.

"Coming?"

"Nope."

"Why didn't you wake me up, I was dreaming of having dinner with Yang Yue, Bolong, king crab, double-headed abalone, sea cucumber king, French red wine..."

"Wake up, stop messing with your seafood platter. Look ahead. ”

Su Kang and Zhang Ze looked along the place pointed by Fang Fan, and saw a black shadow floating in front of Lao You's house, and suddenly passed through the door. The three of them hurriedly got out of the car and came to the door, Su Kang looked a little nervous, and his breathing became rapid.

"You're scared, huh?"

Zhang Ze asked after hearing Su Kang's rapid breathing.

"I... I'm not afraid... I'm excited. ”

"Oh..."

Suddenly, Zhang Ze pushed Su Kang in, and when Su Kang was pushed into the back room for unknown reasons, he saw a black shadow standing next to the photo frame in a daze. The dark shadow turned to Su Kang, who saw that his face was pale and bloody, and one eyeball burst out of his socket. Su Kang suddenly took a deep breath of cold air and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. At this time, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze also followed, blocking Su Kang behind him, Fang Fan calmly looked at the black shadow and said.

"Friend, this is not your home anymore."

"I... I... I'm this little boy..."

The black shadow pointed to the family photo that Fang Fan had seen, his voice hoarse and a little ethereal.

"Well, you killed your father..."

"No, I didn't, I didn't, it was the woman who said it would free him."

"What woman?"

Fresh blood oozed from the shadow's face, covering the blood stains that had dried up before. The bursting eyeballs were bloodshot, and then all three of them heard the sound of clenching their teeth hard.

"Fang Fan..."

The black shadow seemed to be under control, and the sudden irritability was a bit strange. The black shadow rushed towards Fang Fan, and Zhang Ze grabbed the black shadow's neck, and his arm glowed with blue light.

"You still have a question that you haven't answered."

Fang Fan sensed the strangeness of the black shadow, he put his hand into the black shadow and rummaged in it for a long time.

"Found it."

Fang Fan took out a paper figure from inside, and after burning it, he saw that the black on the black shadow's body was receding little by little, and then what appeared in front of everyone was the soul of a young man.

"What is this?"

"This is a type of paper tie, and some people who know how to do witchcraft often use this to control ghosts, and they have achieved their own goals."

Fang Fan looked at the teenager in a daze.

"Now we can have a good talk, shall we?"

I saw that the blood stains on the young man's face had disappeared, and the burst eyes had returned to their original state.

"He's my father. My mother passed away early, and I understood my father's difficulty, so I wanted to reduce my father's burden by going to other places to work and study. But my father disagreed, he has always controlled me since I was a child, and I missed the rebellious period by being sensible as soon as possible. But that night I had a big fight with my father, ran outside and got drunk, and was hit by a speeding car and died. ”

"Your father is afraid, afraid that he will not find you, and that he may love you more than you think, but the expression of this love is like a mantra. Then why did you kill him? ”

"When I died, I regretted it, so I turned into a wandering ghost. Later, in order to avoid the pursuit of ghosts, I stumbled into a dilapidated temple, but who knew that it was actually a trap to catch ghosts. A woman stuffed something into my body, and then I had to be controlled by her. She would summon me out every time I had a mission, but this time she told me that it was a relief for my father, and she tortured me in every way when I didn't obey. ”

"So in the end, you still did it?"

"Hmm..."

"It seems that you don't love your father as much as he loves you. Tell me who that woman is, and how many lonely ghosts are in the same situation as you? ”

Suddenly, a voice blocked the boy's mouth.

"Don't say it."

The three of them and the boy looked at the source of the sound at the same time, it was Lao You. He slowly walked out of the photo.

"Xiaosheng, don't say it. That woman won't let you go. ”

"Dad..."

The boy knelt at the old man's feet and cried.

"It's me wrong, it's me who is wrong."

"Hey, what is right and wrong between father and son. As the saying goes, wronged father and son, debt turned into husband and wife. This result is also the solution of our previous life's hatred, I am too selfish, if it weren't for my stubbornness, how could you die. ”

The boy hugged his father's leg and shook his head vigorously, tears falling down his cheeks on his father, and the boy stood up violently and wiped away the tears. Seeing this, Lao You immediately stepped forward and pushed his son.

"Can't say it, absolutely can't say it."

"Dad, you let me go."

"If you say it, you'll be completely finished, and now you still have a chance, and you can be reincarnated as a human being."

The young man didn't know where he got the strength, turned over and pressed Lao You to the ground, Lao You saw that he couldn't stop him, so he had to shout together.

"It's a succubus. There are many more such lonely ghosts, and they are fighting for..."

At this moment, cracks appeared on the young man's face, and his expression became painful, Lao You grabbed the young man's hand but didn't know what to do, and at the moment when the young man disappeared, a little tear fell on Lao You's face and flowed down his eyes. Lao You knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the smoke and dust that dissipated in the air, he reached out to grab it, and the dust escaped between his fingers.

"Condolences and change."

Lao You's body gradually faded, faded, and finally disappeared. When the three of them left Lao You's house and were about to go home, suddenly Fang Fan received a call from the hospital.

"Quick, let's go to the hospital."

"What's going on?"

"Something happened in the morgue."

When the three of them arrived at the hospital, they found that there were some policemen and nurses around the door of the morgue, but no one dared to enter, Fang Fan squeezed to the front and asked.

"What's going on?"

"The drawer containing Lao You's corpse has been ringing non-stop since just now, and no one dares to come forward to take a look."

"Let everybody go."

Fang Fan, Zhang Ze, and Su Kang walked into the morgue, Fang Fan nodded to the two, and Su Kang and Zhang Ze worked hard to get out of the drawer. Because of the great force that dragged the drawer of the dead to the ground, they opened the body bag, and suddenly the old man sat up, gasping for breath, and the little nurse who had not left the door fainted in fright. Zhang Ze and Su Kang were also taken aback at that time, only Fang Fan calmly wiped Lao You's wrist, and the faint pulse was beating on Fang Fan's fingers.

"You're alive."

"Am I dead? I remember having a dream that my son came back and he was holding my leg and crying and then he was gone again. ”

Fang Fan told Lao You everything from beginning to end, and Lao You sighed after hearing it.

"My son..."

According to Fang Fan's intentions, this bizarre resurrection case did not attract a wave of reporters, nor did it attract a curious crowd. It's just that when the first sunlight appeared in the morning, Lao You left the hospital with his hands behind his back, he returned to the tavern, cleaned the house again, found his son's posthumous photo from the closet, and put it next to his wife's posthumous photo. Lao You put on the pillar incense, put some snacks, and then took care of the guy's business, and after a while, the intoxicating aroma of wine filled the entire alley.

"Lao Fang, Lao You's resurrection is too outrageous."

"Human tears represent many emotions, while ghost tears only represent the desire for life."

"You explain... Even more outrageous. ”

"You don't understand."

Zhang Ze returned to the police station from home to get things, and went home in a hurry to rest in the morning, but he forgot some important information here. Zhang Ze and the colleagues on duty at the police station said a few words and then walked to the office, suddenly he saw a faint light in the office from the crack in the door, Zhang Ze carefully pushed the crack in the door to make it bigger, he looked inside from the crack in the door, and saw Yang Yue writing complex program code on the screen, when she was testing, Zhang Ze actually saw the ghost boy flickering on the screen.
