Chapter 12: Clues

Just as I was falling asleep, I felt as if I had come to a strange place.

It was a forest, and the woods were full of mist, and it was gray as far as the eye could see, and the forest was so quiet that there was not even a single bird's call.

I walked along a path in the woods, trying to get out of this strange wood, but the path seemed to have no end, and I could feel the blisters on the soles of my feet, but I still couldn't see the end of the path.

Slowly, I noticed that the fog in the woods seemed to get thicker and thicker, and everything around me gradually became blurry in my eyes.

I tried to open my mouth and shout to see if there was anyone else in the woods, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I could not make a sound, and I began to be afraid, so I hastened my pace to get out of here, despite the blisters on my feet.

Suddenly, I saw the outline of a bridge.

It was a very old stone bridge, the stone bridge was not very big, vaguely, I saw that there were only two bridge holes in the stone bridge, and the bridge hole was pitch black, and I couldn't see what was inside.

There was a small river under the bridge that had dried up, and there were only a few rocky branches in the river, and I thought that if I followed this river without water, I might be able to get out of the woods.

Call!

A gust of wind suddenly blew behind me, and the temperature around me instantly became cold, and I couldn't help but shiver, my teeth began to tremble, and an unprecedented terrifying aura instantly began to spread.

I was even more scared now, and then I looked at the bridge and subconsciously thought that I should go and hide in the bridge hole, because I felt something slowly approaching me behind me.

I hurried under the bridge, not caring about the pain of the branches and stones that had cut my legs and feet, and when I touched the bottom of the bridge, I hid myself in it.

It was dark in the cave, but it made me feel warm, and the feeling of warmth in my body even made me forget my fear for a while.

Boom... Boom...

At this moment, I heard a slow, heavy footstep in the distance, as if I was carrying something heavy.

Gradually, the footsteps approached, my breathing became a little rapid, and my heart beat violently.

Click!

The footsteps suddenly stopped, just above my bridge, and I didn't dare to move, and I covered my mouth with my hand, and I was afraid that I would cry out.

Wow!

At that moment, the man on the bridge seemed to have thrown something down the dry river, and I immediately smelled a pungent smell of blood, and I could hear the sound of pouring water in my ears.

Then, as if he had finished his work, the man on the bridge walked away with heavy steps.

When I heard the sound of footsteps fading away, I let out a sigh of relief, and I wanted to see what he had poured into the creek, and how it could have made such a bad smell.

Yes!

Just as I was trying to leave the bridge, a human head suddenly fell from the bridge and stopped in front of my eyes, and I immediately saw the human head staring at me with its mouth wide open and rolling its eyes, and I couldn't help but scream.

"Ahh

I shuddered, sat up suddenly, opened my eyes, and found that I was still on the bamboo bed, sweating profusely.

"It was just a dream."

I sat on the bamboo bed for a long time before I came back to my senses from the terrible nightmare I had just had, and I still felt a little frightened in my heart, as if I had escaped death.

Rubbing my head, I got up from the bed and prepared to wash my face, only then did I see that it was evening, and I had slept all afternoon.

The dream just now was too real and terrible, until I washed my face, I still remember everything in the dream clearly, especially the human head that appeared at the end, I can't forget it, but unfortunately I didn't see its specific appearance.

When I finished making dinner, my father and mother also came home from work, and after eating with them, I said that I would go to find the cow egg to review my homework, and then I went to get the iron box to find the cow egg.

On the way to find the cow eggs, I thought about it and told the old ghost man about my dream.

The ghost old man didn't react after hearing this, and didn't say anything.

"Wait! You said you felt cold and hurt in your dreams?! After a pause, the old man suddenly shouted at me.

I was stunned and nodded, not understanding why the ghost old man had such a big reaction: "What's wrong?" ”

The ghost old man frowned, and said in a deep voice with a somewhat solemn face: "It is impossible to have five senses when dreaming, and the person in the dream cannot feel cold, heat and pain, let alone smell the smell, unless it is not a dream!" ”

"Not a dream?" I was a little puzzled, how could I wake up if it wasn't a dream.

"Some dreams are real dreams, which are illusions caused by the stimulation of the human brain, but some dreams are the real experience of the human soul after leaving the body, and the difference between the two is that one does not have five senses and the other has five senses." The ghost old man explained.

The old man's explanation made my heart tighten: Could it be that the dream I had earlier was real!

"Tell me more about the woods and the bridge." The ghost old man paused, as if he had thought of something.

I recounted the sight of the woods and the shape of the bridge that appeared in my dream, and wondered if the old man had found something.

"Sure enough." After listening to my description, the ghost old man sighed and said in a deep voice.

I was puzzled and asked, "What the hell is going on?" What did Grandpa Ghost find? ”

"That woods and that bridge do exist, and I went there when I was a child, but it's been so long that I don't remember it." The ghost old man said.

"It's real!" After the ghost old man finished speaking, I wondered even more, I also grew up in the town, but why have I never seen it, the town is not very big, I have been to all the places where I can play, and I have never heard of the woods in the town.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was supposed to be a locust forest, and the bridge seemed very old when I was a child, I don't know what age it was built, but later, the forest was cut down, the bridge was buried underneath, and the creek was converted into a sewer."

At this point, the old man seemed to look at me, and then said, "After that, the townspeople built a hospital on top of that wood. ”

"It's the hospital in our town now!" I reacted and shouted.

The ghost old man nodded, frowning a little puzzled: "Decades have passed, and nothing has happened during this period, but now your soul can still go there, maybe there is something we don't know yet." ”

"Let's go to the hospital and see the headmaster after they go down to the school, and maybe we'll find something in the evening." Even the ghost old man couldn't figure out what was going on, so I was even more confused, but I could have that 'dream', maybe it was directing me to go to the hospital to investigate.

The ghost old man didn't say anything more and agreed to my proposal.

By the time I found Cow Dan and followed him to school, the sun had completely set and it was starting to get dark.

Niu Dan is quite looking forward to this, there is a look of excitement on his face, there is no nervous and scared posture, I am a little strange about his performance: this kid don't look at people tall and big, usually not so bold, when I saw the ghost old man before, I was scared to pee, why did I suddenly become interested in ghosts, and there was no fear at all, so kind, not like the Niu Dan I knew.

"Brother Guang, you see that the school is still blocked, should we go over the wall to get in?"

After coming to the school, Niu Dan and I saw that there was still a cordon at the gate, and an iron lock was hung on the gate.

"What are you doing in there? The inside had long been cleaned up and waited outside the gate. "I thought to myself that the principal and the dean of students had become ghosts, and the doors were unlocked, so they didn't mean anything.

"No, you have to go in, they died too cruelly, they have a grudge, after the body is burned, the soul has to go back to the place where it was before it died, and then it can move around." At this time, the ghost old man interjected.

In this way, it is not possible to go in without climbing over the wall, but when I was about to answer, I was interrupted by Niu Dan suddenly: "Yes, Brother Guang, this ghost grandfather has said it, then let's go in, hehe." ”

"Got it, then let's climb through the fence in the playground at the back." Seeing that I had to climb over the wall, I also agreed to Niu Dan's proposal, and I thought that the fence on the playground was not very high, and it would be easier to climb into it from there.

At this time, I always felt that something was wrong, and I thought to myself, and I was shocked: "Cow egg! You can see the ghost old man! ”

Niu Dan and the ghost old man heard me screaming, and looked at me at the same time, Niu Dan said with some doubts: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not strange that he can see me, and you are not the only one who can see a ghost like me." The ghost old man also glared at me suspiciously.

"Oh." Seeing that they were both taken for granted, I put my mind at ease, indeed, I must be the only one in this world who can see ghosts, but I didn't expect that Niu Dan suddenly had this ability.

I thought to myself, no wonder Niu Dan is not afraid, it turns out that he can also see the ghost old man.

"Brother Guang, let's go quickly, we didn't bring flashlights and candles, and we won't be able to see anything when it gets dark." Niu Dan urged me like a person who had nothing to do.

I nodded, they had to go to the hospital after seeing the principal, maybe they would find out something tonight.

After climbing over the fence, the two of us walked straight to the principal's office, and according to the ghost old man, the spirits of the principal and the dean of students were still in that house.

The whole campus, it was quiet here, there were empty classrooms everywhere, I had never seen such a quiet time in the school, the huge campus, empty, it made people feel creepy.
