Chapter 40: The Water Glass Dropped

A few years ago, Qian Wancang attended a relative's funeral and saw the shroud worn by the dead.

The pattern of the shroud was very weird, and he remembered it very clearly.

At this time, seeing this kind of shroud again in the old man's memory picture, Qian Wancang couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

Who is this middle-aged woman in a shroud?

Is it the old man's wife?

If it's his wife, it's too young, right?

Moreover, What does it mean that she wears a shroud?

Didn't she know that it was a shroud worn by a dead man?

……

A series of questions arose in Qian Wancang's heart.

"Yes, when the rat barks, my wife can't sleep, and I can't sleep either."

The old man said slowly.

"How old is your wife?"

Qian Wancang asked.

He wanted to confirm whether the middle-aged woman in the old man's memory picture was his wife.

"Hmm...... 76 years old, three years older than me, female junior holding gold bricks, hehe! ”

The old man thought for a while, blurted out his wife's age, and then smiled, his face full of happiness.

"Oh, hehe."

Qian Wancang nodded.

He thought to himself that the 76-year-old lady must have gray hair and a wrinkled face.

In other words, the middle-aged woman in the old man's memory picture is not his wife.

Since it was not his wife, why did he think of this young middle-aged woman when he mentioned his wife?

It can't be that you have a fancy for someone else's youth and have a wrong thought, right?

It's really old and serious, hehe......

"It's not surprising that although my wife is three years older than me, she is much younger than me, and her appearance has not changed for more than 20 years. Hey. ”

The old man suddenly added, looking like he had picked up a treasure.

Qian Wancang listened, and his eyes suddenly sank.

Hasn't changed for more than 20 years?

Could it be that the middle-aged woman is really the old man's wife?

Qian Wancang suddenly thought of the star Lin Zhiying, and his appearance has not changed for more than 20 years, as if his age has frozen.

In other words, as long as you can maintain it, it is possible for an old lady in her seventies to look in her forties.

"Old man, you just said that you and your aunt both heard the cries of mice?"

Qian Wancang stared at the old man's eyes.

He wanted to make sure again,

If both the old man and his wife heard the sound of rats, then maybe there were rats.

If there are really rats barking, then it is not the old man who is sick, but the old man's son and daughter-in-law......

"Yes, didn't I just say that? The rats barked every night, and my wife and I couldn't sleep. ”

The old man was a little impatient, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "If you say it once, you have to say it a second time, are you so young?" ”

Qian Wancang saw the old man's complaint from the old man's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: "This little old man's temper is not small, hehe." ”

Since the old man and his wife both heard the sound of rats, there is a chance that there are really rats barking.

Because it is impossible for two people to have auditory hallucinations together and still hallucinate the same sound.

Since this is the case, the problem lies with the old man's son and daughter-in-law......

These little couples won't be behind their ears at a young age, right?

Qian Wancang was a little puzzled,

"Old man, you wait here first, I'll go out and pour you a glass of water."

Qian Wancang found a reason and left the treatment room.

He said that he was going to pour water, but in fact, he was going to test whether the old man's son Zhicai and daughter-in-law Shujuan were behind their ears?

"Are you two thirsty?"

While receiving the water, Qian Wancang lowered his voice and asked, if you don't listen carefully, it's really not easy to hear.

"I'm not thirsty, thank you."

Shujuan replied with a smile.

"I'm thirsty."

Zhicai glanced at Shujuan, there was a trace of complaint in his eyes, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Don't ask me if I'm thirsty, just say I'm not thirsty, is there still a husband like me in my heart?" ”

"Come on, come on, this glass of water is for you."

Qian Wancang smiled and handed the disposable cup full of water to Zhicai.

It seems that the ears of these two people are quite good, not the back of the ears.

But why can't they hear the cries of rats?

Perhaps, this rat is afraid of these two people, right? They didn't dare to shout when they were present......

Qian Wancang felt that this guess was very reliable.

"This eldest brother, is there really a mouse in your house, I just heard the old man say that he is not the only one who heard the mouse call, and the mother seems to have heard the mouse call."

Qian Wancang said as he picked up another disposable water cup and bent down to pick up water from the water dispenser.

He was going to tell the two of them his guess.

"Mother-in-law? Oh...... When my mother was alive, she was very afraid of rats, and at that time the family was poor, and she lived in a dilapidated house in the countryside, and there were indeed many rats in the house, but since we moved to the city and lived in a high-rise building, there are no rats in the house anymore. ”

Zhicai held the water cup and sighed.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, the disposable water cup in Qian Wancang's hand fell to the ground, and the water spilled on the ground.

What do you mean by "while you are alive"?

Dare to love your mother, the old man's wife, has died?

Qian Wancang thought of the conversation with the old man just now, and his back suddenly cooled.

He instantly understood,

The middle-aged woman in the old man's memory picture should be what he looked like when his wife died.

No wonder this middle-aged woman is wearing a shroud......

But why did the old man say that his wife, like him, also heard the cries of rats?

Why does the old man still say that his wife's appearance has not changed for more than 20 years?

Could it be that his wife was reluctant to leave after her death, and turned into a ghost to accompany the old man all the time?

Thinking of this, Qian Wancang's back was cold again,

It was as if the old man's wife was in the clinic at this time.

No

Absolutely not superstitious,

There are no ghosts in this world that can scare themselves.

The old man must have missed his deceased wife too much, so he had a hallucination, thinking that his wife had never left and had always been by his side.

"Whew~"

Feeling that this explanation was very reasonable, Qian Wancang exhaled, and his emotions relaxed.

"Doctor, are you alright?"

Seeing Qian Wancang's look of losing his soul, Shujuan asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, the water cup is a little hot, hehe."

Qian Wancang casually made an excuse, and then took a new disposable water cup to fetch water.

"Be careful."

Shujuan kindly prompted.

"Uh-huh." Qian Wancang nodded.

After receiving the water, Qian Wancang glanced at Zhicai and Shujuan, and said seriously: "The old man may not only have auditory hallucinations, but also hallucinations. ”

He planned to tell the old man's situation to Zhicai and Shujuan.

"Hallucinations?"

Shujuan's eyes widened, and there was confusion in her eyes.

"Hey, no, the old man is very sober, how can he hallucinate?"

Zhicai smiled bitterly.

"Did he tell you about his mother?"

Qian Wancang stared at the eyes of the two of them, keeping track of their psychological activities at any time.

Zhicai and Shujuan glanced at each other,

After a moment, a hint of horror appeared in the eyes of the two.
