Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Emergent Thing
As soon as I entered the door, I was not polite, I found a place and sat down, all the way over, I was dizzy from the bumpy bus.
"How are you? Is it better? ”
I lay on the chair and tilted my head to ask Qin Xinrou.
"Well, it's much better, it's basically fine. I want to go to the doctor and ask if I can be discharged from the hospital. ”
Her face was ruddy, and she did look good, but her face was displeased, I looked at Liu Nan, and she smiled:
"I've asked the doctor before, and she'll have to stay for at least another week to observe."
"So that's it?"
"Ahh I'm suffocating, I really want to go back to school. ”
"Okay, you can stay in the hospital well, and you can leave when the doctor speaks, besides, Liu Nan is here to accompany you? And I'm here too. ”
Seeing me say this, Qin Xinrou retorted:
"No, that's what I want, you know? My bed smells like me, and a trip up to heaven is like ascending to heaven, you know? ”
She looked at me and Liu Nan with wide eyes.
"Neurotic!"
The two said in unison, and suddenly the sound of laughter came from the ward, endlessly.
"By the way, why did you leave so early this morning? Leave without saying hello. ”
Liu Nan said.
"I see that you are sleeping soundly, so I don't bother you."
"You've forgotten something, have you?"
Liu Nan looked at me and smiled meaningfully.
Forgot something? He asked me this question, no, I didn't bring anything when I came yesterday, how could I leave something behind?
After thinking about it, he smiled at her:
"I guess you made a mistake, maybe it might be Qin Xinrou's things."
Liu Nan shook his head and said:
"How so? I saw that thing was on you, how could it not be yours? You see! ”
As she spoke, she took something out of her pocket and handed it over.
When I looked closely, it was a sachet-like thing, and I looked at it, and it was definitely not my thing, I had never liked these things.
"You're mistaken, hehe, this is really not mine."
Declined politely with her, and was just about to stand up, Qin Xinrou on the side said:
"No, that's yours?"
"Okay, you two, I don't know if you're making a joke like this?"
Seeing me speak, Qin Xinrou and Liu Nan looked at each other, frowned and said:
"I don't know why you said it wasn't yours, but when you left yesterday, I saw this thing tied to your back, it's really strange, how did you sleep and didn't even recognize your own things."
"No way, I didn't tie anything yesterday, and the key is in my pocket, don't believe me."
As he spoke, he took out the key from his pocket.
"If there is such a thing, why don't I tie the key to this one, it won't be easy to lose."
When I asked them like this, they didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Anyway, whether it's yours or not, you can take it."
Liu Nan glanced at the thing, and after speaking, he turned around and walked out of the ward with a pile of clothes.
Only Qin Xinrou looked at me curiously and urged:
"Open it and see what's inside."
"Good!"
In response, I lowered my head and looked at the sachet-like thing, the pattern on it seemed to write something, and it looked like a painting in between.
I don't know why, how does it feel a little familiar? But I couldn't say it for a while.
I tied a slipknot and opened it with a slight pull, and I opened it with my hand and looked inside.
There were no imaginary petals or anything, and unexpectedly, there was a black thing in it, which seemed to be covered with mud, and I don't know how long it had been there, and it seemed that it couldn't be cleaned up.
The moment I opened it, I immediately emitted a very strong fishy smell, I wrinkled my nose and almost didn't vomit, Qin Xinrou immediately jumped off the bed, ran to the window and poked out half of my body.
"It stinks! What's in there? What's the smell of this big one? ”
At this time, Liu Nan also happened to come in from outside, and covered his nose as soon as he entered the door:
"Well, what is it that stinks? Did any of you knock over the trash can? ”
"No, no, no, it's Li Yi's thing, we were just curious and ready to open it to take a look, who knew that it would be like this as soon as we opened it!"
Qin Xinrou was extremely resistant to this.
"Li Yi, didn't you say that it wasn't your thing? Throw it away, stinking man! ”
I looked at the contents and wanted to see what it was, but I couldn't stand the smell and quickly got up and ran downstairs to throw it away.
The smell of this thing is too big, and throwing it in the trash can of the ward may attract more people to look strange, and the nurses and doctors along the way are all looking at it as they go downstairs.
I made sure I threw it in the trash and finally went upstairs.
"Liu Nan, when did you say you saw that thing was me?"
I suddenly remembered that Liu Nan said that I had this thing on my body yesterday, but I didn't make it clear when.
"Don't you remember? You forget, yesterday you went out for a while, and then came back and said that you forgot something, and then I saw that you had this thing behind you when you went out, and then when I went out to take out the garbage, I found that it fell at the door, so I helped you put it away. ”
Liu Nan said that he has a nose and eyes, which makes me have to believe it.
But the problem is, I haven't been back since I left yesterday. Who's coming back to pick it up?
It's impossible for me to remember wrong, and besides, how can I forget just yesterday's events?
A picture suddenly flashed in my mind, yes!
I went to Biquan Lake once, but after I went back, Qin Xinrou and Liu Nan said that I went back with them!
Yes, that time, last time I thought I was thinking too much, and then I didn't pay attention to it.
But this time, I'm afraid it's not accidental.
"Are you sure I'm back?"
I confirmed to Liu Nan again.
She looked into my eyes, puzzled, and nodded.
Could it be that there really is another me who shows up to impersonate me when I am not there?
What does she want to do?
"What's wrong?"
Liu Nan looked at me and asked.
"It's okay, I guess I misremembered."
For now, I can only say this to them, and if I tell the truth, it is difficult to tell, and they will not believe it.
"It's okay, it's okay, Qin Xinrou, you can stretch your body back, the taste is gone."
Seeing that Qin Xinrou still maintained that posture, I smiled reluctantly and tried to behave as naturally as possible.
Forget it, no matter who she is, as long as she doesn't hurt people, she doesn't have to take it to heart, maybe it's really me thinking too much, maybe I really forgot it.
I felt in my pocket and felt the cloth I had wrapped inside.
The purpose of coming here today is to test the things in Qin Xinrou's body, but I didn't come to think about these things.
Linde told me that this thing should be in the yin time, that is, the ugly time!
From one to three o'clock in the middle of the night, a white candle is lit in the corner of the house, and then, if the candle goes out, it is a ghost, and if nothing happens, it is a ghost hunter lurking inside her.
Of course, whether it works or not depends on trying it to know.
I chatted with them for a while, and after having my heart's content, I quietly put the candle in the drawer without them noticing.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.
The last glimmer of light in the sky vanished into darkness, and night fell.
After washing up early, I was the first to go to bed, and seeing that I went to bed so early, Qin Xinrou also lost interest, and went to sleep after doing something else alone.
It was about one o'clock in the morning, and the hospital was empty late at night.
The dim lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and Qin Xinrou's delicate heartiness in the ward sounded from time to time.
I, quietly, opened my eyes.
Yes, I haven't slept all the time, to be precise, I've been waiting for this time.
After seeing Liu Nan and Qin Xinrou asleep, they quietly touched their bodies and got up.
Slowly pull open the drawer, for fear of a sound waking them up. Otherwise, I can't explain it.
With the white candle in his hand, he moved it to the corner where I was sleeping, struck a match, and lit it!
According to Linde's instructions, after the white candle is lit, take out the cloth and light it, and when it is all burned out, it will work.
When everything was done, I hid under the covers again.
Linde told me that the candle should be placed in the corner, and then I could hide under the covers, and I must keep my eyes closed, and I should not open my eyes no matter what happens!
I was convinced of his words, or rather I didn't dare to risk my life.
The light of the white candle reflected on my face, and I could feel the scorching heat through my eyelids.
As for the cloth that was about to die, it smelled strange when lit, but fortunately, strange but not pungent.
looked at Qin Xinrou and Liu Nan, who were asleep, presumably not disturbing them.
I don't know how long it has been, but the clock in the ward still ticks.
I also began to feel tired, wondering if Linde was lying to me and deliberately looking for a pretense to prevaricate me.
"W-"
Suddenly, something seemed to be touched in the darkness.
At first I thought it was the wind blowing, but then I listened closely, no, the wind can't be the only thing that makes a sound, right?
I closed my eyes tightly and didn't dare move.
"Shhhh
The sound of scraping against the ground began to sound, very subtle, like a piece of paper rubbing against it.
I knew that the white candle and the cloth of vain were starting to work, and whatever it was, there would always be clues.
The sound was still loud and loud, and this time, it seemed to be from far and near.
Prick up your ears and listen, the sound seemed to come from the door, but I remember the door was closed.
"Shhhh
The sound of the constant shuffling was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it was approaching my ears from the doorway.
Hiding in the quilt, his eyes did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Just when I thought it would approach Qin Xinrou, the voice disappeared.
No, it seems to have disappeared in front of me!
