Chapter 7: Glance

When I came back to my senses, I found myself lying on an unfamiliar bed, the pungent smell of disinfectant water in the air, and the snow-white ceiling above my head.

Is it in the hospital? I tried to sit up from the bed and found the patient lying on either side of the bed looking intently at the TV in front of me.

The TV is playing Mango Channel's summer vacation drama - "Huanzhu Gege"

Erkang: "Ziwei, I'm so sad to see you like this. ”

Ziwei: "Er Kang, don't be sad, seeing you so sad will make me even more sad." ”

Erkang: "I know I shouldn't make you sadder, but I really can't help myself. ”

As soon as I woke up, I saw this classic ghost animal scene, I was a little insensitive, this brain-dead Qiong Yao-style dialogue, if someone really talked to me like this, I would have to hammer his dog's head.

Before an episode of the TV series was over, Li Qian appeared at the door of the ward with a fruit basket, and when she saw me sitting on the bed, she waved at me from afar, which was regarded as a greeting.

Li Qian finally sat down on the chair next to my bed, began to peel apples, and asked with concern, "Is your body okay?" ”

I shook my head and half-jokingly said, "I can't die yet, but if you want to repay the favor, just make a promise." ”

Li Qian's action of peeling apples stopped for a moment, suddenly became serious, and said coquettishly: "You can't be serious?" Do you know how long you've been dizzy? ”

I really don't know this, I just remember the ghost that possessed Brother Yang, and the resentful eyes it looked at me at the last moment, which was very impressive.

But since Li Qian and I are safe and sound, it must be gone......

Seeing that I didn't talk for a long time, Li Qian sighed and continued: "You have been in a coma for a week, and even the doctor can't check the problem, if you don't wake up again, I have to transfer you to the hospital." ”

I said in my heart that there are ghosts if Western medicine can detect them, and it's not that there is something wrong with the body, and this time it's okay, but the three souls and six spirits are a little damaged, go home and grab some Chinese medicine to make up for it, and you can make it up, at least you don't lose your life.

It's not alarmist, why is the forbidden technique called the forbidden technique, there must be a reason for it.

In short, forbidden techniques can probably be divided into two categories, one is the technique of harming people in a crooked way, and the other is a technique that is particularly serious against the caster.

As for how serious the backlash is, it depends on the caster's ability and the power of the technique, and the two are positively correlated.

However, as long as the forbidden technique is cast, there is a price, and the backlash can be caused by internal injuries at least and killed on the spot.

"Is Brother Yang's body still in the morgue?" Although I was very touched by Li Qian's concern for this beauty, I still cared more about Brother Yang's affairs.

After all, he is my client, and I am obligated to take responsibility to the end. Besides, I originally wanted to check on his corpse, but who knew that I would be delayed by the stubble of the ghost.

"You said Yang Yu? The police have closed the case, characterized as an accidental death, and it has nothing to do with you. Li Qian handed me the peeled apple, looked around, and deliberately lowered her voice.

"A few days ago, his family came to the hospital to identify the body, but due to inconvenient transportation, he was cremated in Ben and only brought the ashes back to his hometown."

I hummed, a little disappointed, or rather regretful, that the last clue was broken.

"Brother Yang's body was made like that by us, and his family didn't say anything?" At this time, I suddenly thought that there was such a thing, I was entangled with the ghost before, and it was Brother Yang who was all guilty.

The Chinese have always been relocated to the land, and they also pay attention to the whole corpse of the dead, and it is impossible for his family not to care about it at all.

Li Qian nodded silently, her mood suddenly became depressed, and said: "People are just such a son, he died unexplained first, and we made him look miserable, if you are his parents, do you have any opinions?" ”

"And what happened in the end?" I didn't expect Brother Yang to be a single child, and his death was a human tragedy from a living white-haired person to a black-haired person.

Li Qian sighed and replied: "What else can I do, the insurance company has lost some of the money, and I personally have also lost a little." ”

"Do you have contact information for his family?" I took a bite of the apple, and although I was very thirsty, I felt like chewing wax.

"What are you going to do?" Li Qian asked as she took out her mobile phone.

I felt a little depressed in my heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I have a certain responsibility for Brother Yang's death, and the salary he gave me must be returned." ”

Li Qian probably sensed that my mood was not right, patted me on the shoulder, and teased: "Chen Poxiao, I can't see that although you are a little ugly, you are still quite professional." ”

"That's you're blind. Am I so handsome or ugly? How can other people still live, and they can't go back to their mother's womb to be recast? Tell me quickly, the contact information of Brother Yang's family. "Being teased by Li Qian, my mood is a lot better.

"You're blind. Aren't I complimenting you on being different from those charlatans? Li Qian muttered an explanation as she reported Brother Yang's father's phone number to me.

I silently saved the number with my mobile phone, didn't call immediately, and then told Li Qian that I was going to be discharged from the hospital, and asked her to give me the bank card number as well.

I want Li Qian's bank account for no other reason, the main reason is that the expenses of my hospitalization must be made up by her, we meet in Pingshui, we can't owe people a favor, we have to pay it back.

As soon as Li Qian heard that I was going to be discharged from the hospital, she first dissuaded me from the perspective of medical professionals, saying that my condition still had to be hospitalized for observation, but she couldn't stand my insistence, so she agreed to let me be discharged, but the hospitalization fee did not have to be paid, and I was paid for saving her.

I don't think I saved her, but I looked at her by the way when I was protecting myself, but I thought of her too, and the most important thing was that I was really shy in my pocket, so I didn't refuse again.

But taking advantage of others is not my style, so let her go to the overpass to find me in a few days when she is free, and I have something for her.

She was full of yin energy, and she didn't want to suppress it, and she had to encounter dirty things in the back.

In the end, with the assistance of Li Qian, I successfully went through the discharge procedures, and she wanted to drive me back, but this time I really refused.

Although Li Qian is a beauty, she is a person in the bureau after all, and the key person is still stupid, I don't want to have too much intersection with her, otherwise I may have to pit me later.

After separating from Li Qian, I took a taxi home, and as soon as I entered the door, I lay on the bed and didn't want to move, I was dizzy and tired, and the sequelae of backlash were still very serious, so it seemed that I really shouldn't be discharged from the hospital.

But even if I continue to be hospitalized, it will only be a waste of money, modern medicine can't control the metaphysical soul, and I have to treat this problem by myself.

But it's not too early now, it's dark outside, so I'm thinking about going out to get medicine tomorrow.

I slept until midnight, and I was woken up by my own hunger, but I was lazy to move, so I kept lying like that, very bored.

It's easy to think too much when I'm bored, I don't know how to think of the ghost that possessed Brother Yang, she said that she wanted revenge, in my opinion, it has become an obsession.

Sure enough, as the saying goes, there will be pity for those who hate them.

I finally stayed up until dawn, I dozed off again, and when I woke up again, it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon, I got dressed and washed up briefly, and went straight to the Chinese medicine hospital.

The medicinal materials I want to buy are all common Chinese medicines, and there is no shortage of stock, but the last medicine has to be put into some painstaking work.

The scientific name of the medicine is the cicada nymph, which is the larva of the cicada in layman's terms, and the key is that the medicine can not see the sun.

So under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to buy it in pharmacies, but fortunately, it is summer, and you can dig it yourself at night.

I made up my mind, I went home and waited until it got dark, and with a small shovel and backpack and other equipment, I rode out again on a small electric donkey, aiming for the suburbs of the northern city.

In my impression, there is a mixed forest on the outskirts of Beicheng, and in summer, it is full of cicadas, which is undoubtedly a good place to dig medicine.

The road is also quite smooth, but my second-hand small electric donkey is not very powerful, and the speed can't go up, so it's a little better than the No. 11 bus, which is labor-saving.

And where I live, about an hour's drive from the woods in the northern suburbs, and the little electric donkey is even slower.

It seems that when I make money in the future, I really go to change a four-wheeled car, and even if it is a third-hand one, it is really not good, so I will go to find a murder car that has been in an accident, anyway, I am in this business, and I am not taboo.

Just thinking about it, there was a sharp turn ahead, or a long uphill slope, and where the headlights swept by, a figure suddenly appeared.

The man was standing on the side of the road, waving at me, as if trying to stop. But because it was dark and the lights were dim, I couldn't see his face clearly, let alone tell whether it was a man or a woman.

In the middle of the night, there are dense forests on both sides, and there are ghost birds calling from time to time, who dares to stay in this ghost place.

I was worried that the person had encountered some accident or was thrown down halfway by an unscrupulous driver, and it was not uncommon for this kind of case to pinch the brakes.

And when I parked the car next to the man, I couldn't help but curse secretly, where is this person, it is clearly a paper person.

But I have to say that this paper figure is really level, at first glance it is really similar to a real person, but the facial features and clothes on the body are painted, and I feel panicked after looking at it for a long time.

Looking at the details of the appearance, the gender of the paper figure should be female, with two double ponytails made of paper, and tied with red ropes, how awkward it looks.

I remember that there was a communal cemetery nearby, and the paper figures were supposed to be blown by the wind from that side, but I don't know why they didn't burn the deceased's belongings together.

Considering that the paper figure was scary standing on the side of the road, and the drivers who came and went were not necessarily as bold as me, I placed the paper figure horizontally in the gutter, intending to let it decompose naturally.

It so happened that my destination was nearby, and a few steps ahead, there was a concrete path that led to the woods, so I decided to simply walk there.

The miscellaneous forest originally belonged to the planning area, and it was separated from the cemetery by a small stream, because the scenery was good, and there were many people who came to the outdoor picnic on weekdays.

In the past, I have been here a few times with a female colleague who delivered couriers together, so I am familiar with the route and know that as long as I don't die and drill deep into the dense forest, there is no problem of getting lost.

After walking down the trail for a long distance, I suddenly felt that something was not right, but I couldn't say exactly what was wrong.

Of course, it's not a ghost hitting the wall, that's what I do, and I won't be so easy to get hit.

After a few more steps, I vaguely heard movement behind me, as if someone was following. So he turned around sharply, and it turned out that there was nothing, it seemed to be just an illusion.

If you think about it carefully, it's right, except that I have no choice but to do it, ordinary people who want to come to this place at night, even if it is a roadblock and robbery, they have to choose a place with relatively many people, but it is not excluded that there is that kind of perverted wonder.

To tell the truth, I'm not afraid of touching ghosts, and I'm afraid of meeting bad people. Taking a long breath, I began to hum a little song to give myself courage, and then pretended to be calm and walked into the woods, planning if I could squat back.

When I got into the woods, I found a bush to hide, and at the same time held the shovel tightly in my hand, and my palms were sweaty.

After hiding for a while, I almost suspected that I was really suspicious, but the next second this thought was immediately dispelled.

There was indeed a rustling sound nearby, something rubbing against the branches of the grass and trees, and it was getting closer and closer to me.

Could it be that it was discovered? I had the audacity to glance outside, and even though I boasted of being bold, I was almost scared to pee.

It's the paper figure before, yes, it's still stained with mud from the drainage ditch, but I don't know why it has an extra white lantern in its hand, emitting a faint green light, which sets it off even more eerie.

And it's obviously paper-tied, but its head can rotate flexibly, looking left and right as if it is looking for someone, and a pair of painted eyes are also scanning.
