Chapter 1 Playing cards late at night
In the second half of my senior year, I was assigned to a small hospital as an intern because my family was out of town and I had no background.
My family has almost emptied my family because of my studies, and now that I am out to work, I am embarrassed to ask my family for money again.
I thought that being a doctor was a good profession, with a good salary and a lot of stability.
But when I got to the hospital and worked there for a month, I realized I was wrong.
The doctor's salary is also divided by grade, and the director and deputy director of the department are just one word apart, and the difference in salary is nearly 2,000, and I, the intern who has just been assigned, can get more money every month, not to mention the pitiful less.
For this reason, I had to move, otherwise I would not be able to live on the money I had left after paying the rent in Anseong, where every inch of land was at a premium.
I'm looking for a house that I can sacrifice myself in, no matter how dilapidated and small it is, if it leaks wind in winter and rain in summer, as long as it's cheap enough for me to live in, I'm already satisfied.
For this reason, I ran through most of Anseong, and the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally I found this house, except for the old, this house, wrong, I should say that this big house is beyond my expectations.
The mansion is divided into two floors, European-style building, and there is a large garden at the back.
Inside, it is even more eye-catching, the rotating escalator, the crystal lamp hanging from the ceiling, and the dust-proof and dust-proof floor tiles all show the luxury of this villa.
I found this villa when I saw a small advertisement on a telephone pole, but on the small advertisement, it clearly said that the rent was only 300 yuan per month, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the luxurious layout in front of me.
In addition to being a little old, how can such a beautiful villa be rented for only 300 yuan per month, you must know that the house I used to stay in is less than 30 square meters, and it leaks when it rains heavily, and it is on the 4th floor, such a house, the price is also 1500 a month, and the villa in front of me, how can it be only 300 yuan of rent?
The owner is a woman in her 30s, with long hair, and when she talks to me, she always has a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her attitude is surprisingly humble, as if I am a rich man and she is a housekeeper.
I was really tired of running and didn't want to run anymore, looking at the luxurious layout in front of me, I mustered up the courage and asked her if she could live here for 300 yuan for 1 month, in my violent heartbeat, she smiled and nodded.
At that moment, I was ecstatic, for fear that she would regret it, so I hurriedly signed the contract and paid all the rent for one year at once.
I thought I had picked up a big bargain, but I didn't expect that this was the beginning of my nightmare, if I could be given a chance to choose again, I would never have lived in this villa, even if it was cheap, or even if it didn't cost money, I would not have signed that contract.
On the first day of moving in, nothing happened, everything was uneventful.
The next day, too.
It wasn't until the third day, when I came back from the hospital, after dinner, that something strange happened when I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I wanted to go to the bathroom in a daze, and when I came out of the bathroom, I heard the sound of mahjong playing in the living room.
That's not right! When I moved in, I observed that although there were many houses around, I don't know why, almost no one lived there, and they stood there alone as if they had been abandoned by their owners.
There is no one around, so who will play mahjong in the living room, and it is uninvited, and it is in the silence of the night?
With this question, I went to the living room in a trance, and there were 3 people in the living room, an old man in Tsing Yi and two young people.
When the three of them saw me, the old man in Tsing Yi beckoned to me, and then pointed to a spot next to him with a smile, and his meaning was obvious, he wanted me to participate in their gambling game.
I'm not interested in gambling at all, I think it's only played by the rich, and people like me who are running around all day to make a living can't afford it.
But I don't know why, when I saw the old man beckoning to me, I walked in and joined them in the game.
Every single one was a loss, never a single win, and very quickly, I lost all the chips in my hand.
"Little brother, you have no money now, what are you betting with us?"
The old man's words came from his ears, and his face was still smiling, and his attitude was extremely gentle.
It's just that the two young people sitting on either side of him are not as kind as him,
They didn't say anything, but they all looked at me with disdain, as if I should have gone away now.
How could I stand this kind of staring when I was young and vigorous, and I almost didn't have time to think about it, so I blurted out: "Bet, why don't you bet?" ”
"But you have no money, what are you going to bet with us?" The old man's attitude was still gentle, and he asked with a smile.
My brain was racing fast, and there was something of value around me, but when I thought about it, I couldn't find anything valuable.
"Actually, there is one thing you can bet with us, that kind of thing, it is enough for you to win back what you just lost."
"What's that?" I looked at the old man in Tsing Yi in amazement.
The old man smiled more gently, and he said softly to me, "Your life." ”
I was shocked when I heard this, life can also be gambled, what do they want my life for?
If I lose, will they really kill me, this is a crime, killing pays for life, but if you want to be shot, aren't they afraid?
In an instant, my head cleared up a lot, and I hurriedly stood up, and I said, "I don't play anymore." ”
Regardless of whether what the old man said is true or false, I want to quit, it is not easy for my parents to provide for me to go to college, they have not enjoyed the blessings, I have three long and two short, how can I be worthy of them?
So I can't die, and even if there's a joke in it, I don't think it's funny at all.
I just stood up and didn't take a step, my hand was grabbed by a tall young man next to me, and I heard him say coldly: "Sit down, you can't easily quit, whether you want to gamble or not, this gamble is going to go on." ”
"It's just that you want to leave before we have fun, it's impossible." Another young man who was a little shorter said.
He left no room for words, he must let me continue to play, the same young people, the same flesh and blood, according to common sense, I will turn around and leave.
But at this time, I had no time to pay attention to him, and the hand that the tall man grabbed me was cold and cold, and there was no temperature at all.
Working in a hospital, I once came into contact with such a hand, which was the hand of a dead man.
Could it be that the tall man is dead, and I am gambling with a dead ghost?
Slowly raising my head, I saw the tall man's face, when he first sat down, his face was normal, ordinary-looking, except that he was a little stronger than the average person, people couldn't feel the difference in him.
But at this time, I saw one of his eyeballs roll a few times, and then suddenly and slowly, it fell out of his eye socket.
"It's really troublesome, I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have chosen to jump off the building and die in the first place, and now I have to pick it up and press it back." The tall man frowned impatiently, and then he let go of my hand and bent down to look under the table.
"Did you see that he didn't have one eye, and said he had jumped off the building and died?" I panicked and shouted at a tall man with my finger.
Then I hurriedly kicked away the chair next to me and tried to escape, but who knew that because I was in too much hurry, my body hit the corner of the table, and I stumbled and fell on the old man in Tsing Yi.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" As I spoke, I tried to stand up.
But then I realized that something was wrong, and my hand was pressed on the chest of the old man in Tsing Yi, and on it, it was cold, and there was no heartbeat.
"Isn't it just a dead man, what's all the fuss, so am I!" The old man stopped laughing, he said slowly.
I'm about to collapse, the tall young man is a ghost, and so is the old man in Tsing Yi, so the remaining short young man, will he also be ......
With my hand retracted like an electric shock, I hurriedly stood up and looked at the short young man.
The short young man sat upright in his seat, and he was looking at me, his face hideous, and his tongue like that of a summer dog.
Only hanged people have this expression, I have seen it in the hospital, the deceased was a little girl, and when the family brought her, she could not be saved.
It is said that after she finished her homework, she jumped and jumped on the bed, and accidentally, the red scarf around her neck was hung on an iron hook, and by the time her grandmother found out, it was too late, and she had been strangled alive by the red scarf.
"Continue to bet on me, we are missing one, how to play mahjong like this, you came just in time, just to fill this gap."
It was the old man in Tsing Yi who was talking, and his tone was eerie, looking at my gaze, it was also straightforward, as if as long as I refused, he would pounce and grab my throat.
"Found it, found it, let's move on." The tall man found his eyeball from under the table, then straightened up and put it back into his socket.
All of them are ghosts, and none of them are alive who play mahjong with me, and looking at their appearance, they all died of unnatural death, that is, their longevity is not over, and it is due to external forces that they lost their lives early.
It is said that such ghosts are very angry, and if they go against their will, God knows if they will kill me and be their company.
But my chips are gone, if I continue to gamble, it is a gamble, the first few times I lost every hand, if I do it again, it will definitely be the end.
Gambling is death, not gambling is death, what should I do?
