Chapter 24: Hallucinations
The promise was that she refused to sit down, and the old man glared at her fiercely, so she had to sit down. The mat was in the middle, and she just wouldn't reach out. To be honest, she had always only let the old man take the pulse, but she was also a little uncomfortable with a sudden change of person, not deliberately squeezing him or looking down on him. Her hands were clasped back and forth, her head bowed, trapped in deep hesitation.
"Reach out." The man suddenly spoke, and the promise eyes drifted over, he was drinking tea with his head down, faintly, and he couldn't see any expression, as if the words just now didn't come out of his mouth. The old man's eyes were about to pop out, and she had to stretch out her right hand.
His three fingers were on her hand, a little cool, and the pressure was a little heavier than the old man's, but he could feel the strength of the three fingers. After two minutes, he said, "Change hands." ”
Promise to be stunned and have a full body check? But he still stretched out his left hand and placed it on the examination pad. After taking the pulse, he didn't say any results, just got up and told the old man that he was going to boil the medicine.
Xu was a little embarrassed, she used to boil it here by herself, and she hurriedly said: "You prescribe a prescription, I can take the medicine to boil it myself." "The old man has all these things, and sometimes as long as she gets the prescription, she will go to grab the medicine according to the prescription by herself.
He ignored his promise, walked straight to the village, walked to the drawbridge, and glanced back at the old man. The promise was unknown, so he stared at the old man, the old man took a sip of tea, and changed the topic frankly: "It was a kid who answered the phone in the morning, are you sure?" ”
"I don't know, but I don't want to give up." After taking a sip of tea, she said, "I can't untie the knot, and I will always be a little afraid to accept it." Sometimes, she is really afraid, afraid that after she gets it, she will lose it because of her. I'm afraid of his distrust, I'm afraid I'm really wrong.
The old man looked at her, sighed, but did not speak, and asked her to go back and drink the medicine. She asked as she walked: "Why do I have to prescribe medicine every time I take the pulse, I feel that my body is obviously fine, why did I change him to show me?" ”
"Where's the good? Do you know how bad your heart is? Serial murder case, if it wasn't for him, and your little life, what? You still dislike his medical skills, and I tell you, his medical skills are above mine. ”
"No, old man, you are the number one Chinese medicine doctor in the country, he is obviously a lot younger than you, how can he have such high medical skills?"
The old man stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at her, and said, "I worship him as a teacher, and he may not accept him yet." Traditional Chinese medicine is a thing that has been passed down very little, and it is not easy to comprehend, and a Chinese medicine expert who has been in several lifetimes may also say that he has only understood a little bit of it, and it is even more impossible to understand it, and he is on the verge of penetration. Those who are ranked first, compared to him, are simply small minions. ”
The promise was shocked, generally people praised the old man for his superb medical skills, and it was the first time he praised others, no wonder the old man had to retire early to come here, and they laughed at the old man at the time for throwing watermelons to pick up sesame seeds. It's rare that only they understand this sympathy.
There are a lot of people in the hospital every day, and there are also a lot of helpers. Xu Promise came often and knew each other, but the helpers basically didn't talk to her. He walked up to a lame helper who was grabbing medicine, the man looked at her, turned around and left, she shouted behind him, "You're really not going back?" He should miss you a lot? The man didn't stop and walked away.
After drinking the medicine, she said goodbye to the old man. She was busy driving back, but she didn't see the eyes of the man who took her pulse. It wasn't until the body disappeared at the end of the road that he picked up the bowl she had drunk and washed it, and his face finally took off the blandness and overflowed with tenderness.
As soon as she returned to the police station, everyone looked at her nervously, and when she looked back, everyone immediately lowered their heads, but no one spoke.
Shi Chu and Zheng Miao were in the office, and there was a set of clothes on the table, which was said to have been sent by that person. They checked and there was nothing unusual about the clothes. Along with the clothes, there was a printed note that read: Xishan Cemetery, come alone.
According to Lao Zheng, the Xishan cemetery is a former battlefield, a modern slaughterhouse, and a current mass grave, located in the nest below the two mountains, very deep, and few people go down. It is rumored that the place is haunted for ten miles, and there are basically no residents. A place they are not familiar with, and it is in the mountains, with poor signal, wide range, and high mutation coefficient, and it is difficult to protect the promise at any time.
"What the hell are they playing? If a girl goes to that kind of place, she will be scared out of half her life. ”
Xu Yu looked at Shi Chu, but answered Zheng Miao's question: "Pretending to be a ghost, they should find it more exciting and scary, and seeing them panicked should be one of their pleasures." Just like Gu Qingcheng, who was let go and played the game of eagles catching chickens, Zheng Kexin was completely frightened. If she is afraid in her heart, there must be a little bit.
Shi Chu leaned on the table, crossed his hands and frowned in thought. Xu Promise walked over, dangled his hand in front of her eyes, and was grabbed by him, and she asked, "What do you think?" ”
"I've got something new for you, as long as you don't take it off, we'll be able to track you. Invisible headphones you can carry, so that we can communicate at any time. As long as you change back to Zheng Kexin, you will run as soon as you have the opportunity. I've also found someone to explore the terrain, and I'll give you the latest route up the mountain later. It's been sunny and cloudless these days, and there will be stars and moon at night, so if something happens, remember to observe the sky. ”
Xu Promise smiled and nodded, and the feeling of being cared for and cared for was really happy.
It was a long black dress with a cape, as if it had been specially designed. There was a diagonal button on the top, but a patchwork black lace dress under the waist, and several layers of black veil on the outside, except for the group of kidnappers, she had no idea the purpose of this dress.
When he sent her to the bottom of the mountain, she walked alone according to the map of the location of the Xishan cemetery in her mind.
It was getting dark, and it was a little cold in the mountains, but fortunately there was a cloak, and I talked to her from time to time at the beginning, "The person who went to explore the road first said that there was no one around the Xishan cemetery and the road you went up the mountain, and we were worried that this was a cover." ”
Xu Promise joked as he walked forward: "Then should I go back?" Give him an empty city plan? ”
Suddenly a black bird appeared in front of her, and the bird did not make a single call, but its eyes were fixed on her. After seeing her look over, she fluttered her wings and flew unhurriedly in front of her, as if leading the way.
Her attention was all drawn, and she tried not to go in its direction, and the bird let out a high-pitched call, as if in warning.
She wanted to tell Shi Chu about this somewhat humane bird, but Shi Chu's side suddenly became quiet, and promised to ask him what was going on, but Shi Chu didn't answer. She ran forward, not following the direction the blackbird had pointed, and the blackbird spun around her head and tried to attack her. She picked up a stone and went over to the bird, and although it didn't hit it, it had a threatening effect, and the blackbird didn't dare to come near her casually.
Suddenly, the smell of blood came from ahead, and she sped up, and saw a man lying on the ground in the distance. She ran forward to check, and a cold sweat broke out. It was their man, dead, the two eyeballs were missing, the clothes were tattered, the stomach guts were flowing out, pecked to pieces, and she guessed at once who the culprit was.
Looking up, the flock of birds was perched among the trees in the distance, and the bird that led the way was still not far from her. Flap your wings and fly in one direction. Promise had to follow it, she tried many times, but at the beginning of the time, the mobile phone and watch had no signal at all, and it took less than ten minutes to jump directly from a three-bar signal to no signal, which was too unbelievable.
Cheer up and observe the surroundings, all of them are similar trees. When the night was dark, she looked up at the sky, there were no stars or moon, and she felt that something was wrong.
After taking two steps, she immediately remembered that Shi Chu said that it would be sunny for the past few days, and there would be stars and moon at night. It's only been a while, and it's impossible to change the sky suddenly.
She didn't go any further, and a flock of birds came around her, drove her, and pecked at her, and it hurt. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of her, as if she saw a glimmer of hope, and she ran quickly after the figure.
The figure ran into a Zhuangzi and was gone, as were the birds that followed her.
Promise didn't care about the unexpected situation, and stopped at the mouth of Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi is very different, the houses are a little strange, black, red, tall and narrow, like a standing •••••• coffin, fear penetrates in all directions, and the invasion comes as a blow.
Suddenly, a "help" came, and Xu Promise thought twice and walked in. The door was closed, and she carefully ascertained the direction, and a string of chains came from a closed room, and she stopped at the door, pushed it open, and saw nothing. The heart she was carrying seemed to gasp violently, and she stood still, not stepping into the room easily.
There was a sudden "help" sound from the opposite room, and she still stopped at the door, pushed the door open, and there was still nothing. No tables and chairs, no people, just an empty room with nothing.
Thinking of something, she retreated to the middle of the road, not approaching any house. Walking forward, there were various voices along the way, and some even shouted her name clearly, and she continued to walk as if she hadn't heard it.
Where did you start entering, or rather, when did you start falling into hallucinations?
All she could think of was probably starting with the bird, and when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, the bird at best made her feel that she was walking normally, and she would not notice that it was a hallucination, and it didn't attack her at all. There seems to be only one explanation for the cause of this walking hallucination, and that is the dress she was wearing, and there must have been something in this dress that had a hallucinogenic effect on her.
Zheng Miao and Shi Chu have both touched this dress, will they also hallucinate? She was starting to worry, and now the main question was, how was she going to get out of this hallucination?
