Chapter 34: Crisis
03070606060606 listening to the old lady's words at the time, I felt a chill from my heels to the top of my head, but I still didn't give up. I asked her which hospital the old man was in, and the old lady couldn't help it because of my ink, so she told me.
I quickly took a taxi and went to the hospital again, thinking a lot along the way. But the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, because the more I felt that the old lady was telling the truth.
The old man was dead, and the old lady had no daughter.
So the two people I saw just now were hallucinating?
When I arrived at the hospital, I hurried straight to the old man's ward, but when I got to the ward, I was a little stupid, because I saw that the old man was really lying on the hospital bed, and I only had half a breath left.
There was only one middle-aged man by his side taking care of him. I took a long breath and tried to calm myself. Then I went over and said a few words to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man asked me to go to the corridor with him and tell him not to disturb the other patients in the room.
After going out, the middle-aged man told me that he was the old man's son, and he said the same thing as the old lady.
The old man had been brought here by ambulance since he had a stroke in the afternoon. He's been here taking care of his dad, who can't even speak now. So the old man who went to my house was definitely not his father.
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man lit two cigarettes, one for himself, handed one to me, and then told me that the little things that his father would have basically passed on to him, so if I believed him, I would tell him now, after all, his father also received my money.
I heard him say this, so I told all these strange things I encountered, he didn't squeak for a long time after listening to it, and finally I couldn't help but ask him, who is the old man who went to me tonight is not his father? Is it his dad's brother?
After listening to this, he just snorted with his nose, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it before saying to me, "My dad doesn't have any brothers at all, and the old man you met tonight is not my dad, and I can't tell what it is, but it's certainly not human." "The private line is dead.
The moment those three words came out of his mouth, I felt like my scalp was going to explode.
I immediately opened my mouth and stared at him dumbfounded, but he said to me with a much calmer look than I did, "I don't know why that thing is pretending to be my father, but it should be trying to harm you, I don't know if you have heard this sentence, you may still live when you hear those things crying, but it is difficult to live when you hear those things laughing." "
I looked at him without saying a word, but cold sweat was already oozing from my palms, but he continued, "And you also told me that you heard laughter when you burned paper, and it must be that thing laughing, and he asked you to cover the mirror before entering the house, probably because you were afraid that you would see his true face." "
When I heard this, it felt like something was in my throat, but I still asked him, "I just saw him smiling on my phone, but he was still a person!" "
The middle-aged man smiled and said to me, "Can a mobile phone be like a mirror, if you have the chance, you can look at him in the mirror again, maybe you will know what he is." "
I nodded noncommittally, but immediately asked him, "Then why didn't he hurt me tonight?" "
The man thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be time, and the most important thing should be the woman with the umbrella later, she saved you." "
I immediately looked at him with wide eyes, and the man continued, "But I don't know what this woman has to do with the thing pretending to be my father, and it's definitely not a father-daughter relationship anyway." "
After the man finished speaking, he rubbed his chin and pondered, but I immediately blurted out and asked him, "Is the woman with the umbrella human?" "
The man just shook his head and said he didn't know, but the man quickly asked me what I was going to do, and I thought for a moment and said, "Call the police?" "
The man looked at me and smiled, saying, "Do you think it's useful?" "
I scratched my head, thinking that the police would not believe such a bizarre story as me, so the man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Why do you say that my dad has also taken your money, and the so-called collecting money for others to eliminate disasters is the so-called "Collect money for others", so come to me tomorrow night, and I will accompany you to that place to have a look." "
As soon as I heard him say this, a stone in my heart fell to the ground, and he asked me to write down his phone number, and then the man told me not to go home tonight, and to talk about it when I was done tomorrow, so I nodded and said okay.
After leaving the hospital, I went to live at a friend's house, but I didn't dare to tell him what happened, I just said that the house was upstairs decorated, and I couldn't sleep well in the morning, so I came over to deal with it for the night.
But I didn't sleep well, I was in a daze, I kept dreaming, and it seemed that someone kept calling my name in my dream, but when I rubbed my eyes and woke up, I was almost not scared silly.
Because I was in my own bed, I was in my own home!
I shook my head vigorously and then jumped out of bed, my heart was beating so fast that I immediately took out my phone and called my friend and asked what was going on.
But my friend told me that he had gone to work at 7 a.m., and that he hadn't woken me up when he was still sleeping, so I asked him again to make sure that I was still in his bed at 7 a.m., but how did I get back to my house!
I told him that I woke up in my own house, but he only said that I was asleep and fell asleep again, of course I knew that was not the case, but I hung up without arguing with him.
Putting down the phone, I thought about it carefully, and thought that it was unlikely that my friend would lie to me, and that he would never carry me from his house to my house for a prank.
That means I didn't come back from him until he went to work at seven o'clock, and I'm a mystery as to how I got back.
But it occurred to me that I arrived home after seven o'clock, and that there must have been quite a few neighbors around, so would anyone see how I got back?
Thinking of this, I found a set of clothes from the cabinet and prepared to go out, but then I was surprised to find that there was a set of shroud neatly placed next to my bed!
At that time, I felt the cold sweat on my body brush down, could it be that I came back wearing this shroud?
After thinking about it, I still took this shroud in my hand ruthlessly, and planned to go out and ask the neighbors nearby, how did I get back this morning!
As a result, as soon as I pushed the door, I felt something stuck behind the door, and it was a bit difficult to push, I walked out the door to see, and a mooncake box that was exactly the same as yesterday was placed in front of my house.
There shouldn't really be 100,000 yuan in this!
I don't know why, looking at the moon cake box on the ground, I didn't dare to reach out to take it, but soon, I bit my teeth and my heart was horizontal, anyway, this thing was sent to the door, I couldn't shake it off, it was better to satisfy my curiosity.
I squatted down to pick up the moon cake box, just picked it up I found a little heavy, opened it to see, sure enough, there were ten square banknote bricks with white paper tape hoops.
This time I didn't count it, because I was sure that since that person was willing to put the money at my doorstep, there was definitely no shortage of catties or two, there were definitely 100,000 in it, one more is not more, and one less is not less.
At that time, I swallowed my saliva, to be honest, I have never seen such a large amount of 100,000 yuan when I grow so big, with my current life of 3,000 yuan a month and usually 2,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan is a large amount that I can save in ten years.
I don't know what happened to me in my head, but a thought came to me, if there is really 100,000 yuan in it, then it will have to be 1 million tomorrow?
If there is really one million, then I will be relieved even if I die, rather than spending my life in such a mess, it is better to take this million to the vigorous waves, so that I can die well.
My mood began to change from the initial fear to another inexplicable feeling, how to say, but some anticipation.
As soon as this thought popped into my head, I snuffed it out.
It's better to die than to live, who doesn't want to live.
