Chapter 20: The Beginning
"Hmm."
I rubbed my stinging head, sat up slowly, and found that it was daytime, and the sunlight outside was still shining through the window on the windowsill.
When I saw the environment around me, I noticed that I was lying on a hospital bed at this moment, and Niu Dan was also lying on a bed next to me, and then I also woke up faintly: "Huh? Brother Guang, why are we here? ”
I also wondered, I remember that I had followed the baby eaters out of the iron gate of the passage, and how they had ended up in the hospital bed.
"I don't know."
When I just wanted to turn over and get out of bed, I saw two people walk in, and when they walked in, I looked and found that the person who came was my father and Niu Dan's father, and one of them walked in with a lunch box.
Later, after my father's narration, I found out that Niu Dan and I frightened them last night.
It turned out that there was a hospital nurse who was cleaning up garbage last night, and when he was in a hurry to pee, he accidentally came to the door of the underground passage and found me and Niu Dan on the ground.
At first he thought we were four, and he screamed in fright, but when the doctor came, he found that we had just passed out, but they couldn't wake us up, and we were cold, without any temperature, but they found that we were just asleep, and they could hear the loud snoring of cow eggs.
They were puzzled by the strange situation I had with Niu Dan, so they had to send us to the hospital ward for observation for a day, and someone who recognized us immediately notified me and Niu Dan's family.
Later, the doctor came to the hospital again, checked our bodies, found that everything was normal, and let us be discharged.
That's when I realized that my body and I didn't go into the woods last night, it was just our souls.
Because of this, my father was worried for a long time.
When I got home, I found the iron box I had found in the small iron house, and after I called out to the old man for a long time, I didn't see him come out, and then I was sure that the old man had really disappeared.
After that, I took out the diary and threw it into the South Irrigation Pit along with the pipe.
Two days later, the school reopened, and the police station also sent a police officer to the school, saying that the case of the principal and the director of education had been solved, and that the murderer was a foreigner, and now he had been arrested and sentenced.
Only Niu Dan and I knew that the police's remarks were just to comfort the people in the town, and this case was going to become a complete cold case for them.
Thankfully, everything has been resolved and there will be no more demons in our town.
After that, I went to school with Niu Dan as usual, and every weekend I would quietly go to the blind old man and continue to learn everything about ghosts from him.
Since then, however, I have never seen a ghost in the town again, but I am very worried when I see that the master's health is getting worse and worse.
The day before my junior high school graduation exam, I was finally able to communicate with the spirit of words and learned the master's method of measuring words, and the master wrote down a word tremblingly.
When I saw that word, I knew that the master's lifespan was gone, and he couldn't even last a night.
Although I have always regarded the blind old man as a master in my heart, he does not allow me to call him master, as long as I call him master, he will jump in a hurry, and he will look very angry, so I will only call him master in my heart.
Before leaving, the master told me that he had taught me all the things he knew, and specially told me that I was not allowed to use the method of divine calculation and word measurement to make money in the future.
When it was over, the master didn't let me go to his funeral, saying that the people in the town knew how to cook, and I couldn't go to worship him secretly.
After the death of the master, everything was calm again, and after Niu Dan and I finished junior high school, we went to high school together.
Since there is only a junior high school in the town, if you want to continue your high school studies, you have to go to the county seat, which is about 50 kilometers away from home. So Niu Dan and I had to leave home and go to the county seat.
There, without the restraint of our parents at home, Niu Dan and I felt completely free, and we would only go home once a month.
In the three years of high school, I wanted to meet any ghost things again countless times, but to my disappointment, I never even met a ghost hair, which made Niu Dan very dissatisfied.
I sometimes wonder if I've lost the ability to see ghosts again, because I haven't seen ghosts in almost six years since the old man.
Every now and then, I would take out the pen and the book, and when I saw the name I had written on it, I knew that everything must have happened.
Since I can't find ghosts, I have to read books and study, and Niu Dan is looking for people to fight everywhere, in his words, since there are no ghosts, then find a living person, anyway, there are living people, and there are a lot of gangsters, so you can't be idle.
After graduating from high school, I decided that I still wanted to go to college, I didn't want to stay in that little town in the future, and it was better to go out and break in.
In addition, my academic performance is still good, although I can't get into a major university, but a regular undergraduate is still no problem, so after the college entrance examination, I applied for a school in a big city far away from home.
That university, a big city in the Northwest Territories, let's call it West City for the time being, not so much as choosing a school, but rather choosing that city, because I always felt like something was calling me.
At that time, I thought in my heart that there would be no problem in getting into that university based on my grades.
However, I realized a problem, that is, Niu Dan, if Niu Dan wants to go to college, it will be a bit of a fantasy, because this kid is not a study material at all, if it weren't for his father forcing him to finish high school, so he would have dropped out of school a long time ago.
In addition to fighting, this thing is sleeping in the classroom, and even the teacher can't do anything about him, but it is conceivable that if Niu Dan wants to go to college, it is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky.
When I told Niu Dan about going to college, Niu Dan was stunned at first, and then smiled at me and said, saying that he would go there if I went there, although he couldn't go to college, but he could go to that city to work, anyway, after not going to school, he didn't plan to stay at home, but also to go out and break through, increase his knowledge.
Now I heard that I was going to the West Market, Niu Dan immediately decided to go with me, in a big city like the West Market, it is quite easy to find a hard job, and you can meet when you have something to do.
I think about it, don't mention how powerful this guy is now, not to mention the tall and big, carrying a sack of hundreds of pounds is like playing, and in the three years of high school, he has beaten all the gangsters in the school, and no one dares to mess with him.
Sometimes, I have the illusion that since I was possessed by the old man, the cow egg has changed a lot, as if there are more things than I know, and in his eyes, I can always detect a look of respect for me.
I also thought about using the word measurement magic that the master taught me, and tested myself to see if I could find out what my identity was, but when I remembered what the master had explained to me, the most taboo thing about this kind of thing is to calculate it for myself and my relatives, once I act against the sky, I will definitely suffer extremely serious consequences.
It was because of this that I gave up the idea of measuring my own words.
After Niu Dan and I discussed going to Xishi together, we went home first and waited for the results of the college entrance examination.
After Niu Dan returned home, he told his father that he was going to work in the West Market, and his father knew that I was going to study in the West Market, so he happily agreed.
I still remember the scene when Niu Dan and I set out on the road to Xishi, it was the first time we really went out, the first time we took the train, and we were a little excited and couldn't sleep along the way.
We went to the West Market a few days earlier than the start of the school, because in these days, we had to help Niu Dan find a job first, and by the way, we also saw the famous scenery of the West Market.
To put it bluntly, I was completely a dirt bun with Niu Dan at that time, and I had never seen anything of the world at all.
Luckily, I know that when I get to a place, I have to buy a map first to prevent me from getting lost.
It took almost three days to finally find a job for Niu Dan to work on the construction site, and Niu Dan was responsible for one thing - moving bricks! The foreman also valued the strength of the cow eggs, and he also managed to eat and live.
After arranging the cow eggs, it was time for me to register for school, so I followed the address on the admission notice and rushed to the school by bus.
What I didn't expect was that since I entered college not long ago, I had experienced a terrible thing, which I still can't break, and I can't break that spell by all means.
Moreover, since then, the ghost incidents that have been silent for nearly six years have followed one after another, and they have continued until now.
I'm hesitant right now, hesitant to say it, because if I did, it might cause something terrible that I couldn't control.
Whoever knows about this will be caught in a great cursed vortex, a vortex from which no one can escape, and unless you follow the rules of the game like me, you will be in a great danger that even I cannot resolve.
Well, if you insist on knowing what's going on, then please be sure to follow the rules of 'it'.
