The county commander did not say his mantra in front of this old man, whether it was his eye movements or tone, he seemed very sincere. I know that in fact, although the county order seems to be out of tune, he has hardly dropped the chain at the critical moment, and he has special respect for the older generation.

The question he asked is also what I want to know, the old man may be due to his age, he is more verbose in his speech, and after many things are said again, he has to repeat them again, which greatly reduces my sense of fear, but even so I still think this thing is very weird, what is that person?

When the old man heard the words of the county order, he smiled, and the smile gave people the feeling that he was laughing at himself, but it also gave people a feeling that he was very scared, in short, it was very contradictory, he said to us: "At that time, that thing really scared me badly, but now that I think about it, I didn't hide from the horror." ”

The county magistrate and I looked at each other in unison, and we both saw the strangeness and depression in each other's eyes. It's strange what that thing is, and it's frustrating that this old man is too much of a sellout.

After glancing at each other, we once again focused our eyes on the old man's face, and I didn't speak to the county magistrate, just looked at him so quietly.

The old man saw that we couldn't wait any longer, and said to us, "Actually, that thing is a rag doll......

"Ragdolls?!" The prefectural magistrate was a little disappointed and said, "No...... Just a rag doll? ”

When I heard this, I didn't relax in the slightest, but my face was even more incredible, recalling what the old man said, when the rag doll was lying on the bed where Zhu Xiaoli was sleeping now, and smiled at him......

Seeing the surprised appearance of the county commander, the old man said with a cautious face: "That's right, it's a rag doll, the rag doll is about a meter tall, there are several colors on its body, and the expression on its face is also very vivid, laughing at me for a while, crying at me for a while, and sneezing at me for a while." ”

The old man said that when the rag doll appeared, his pneumonia was all at once, and he coughed desperately and struggled desperately in bed, trying to attract the attention of the others in the ward.

At this time, the child who said that the bed was shaking was the first to find out about the situation on his side, and the little boy said to his mother: "Mom, what do you see the old man doing?" ”

After the little boy's mother saw the old man's appearance, she hurriedly walked to the old man's side, and the old man's hand waved desperately, pointing to the right bed, wanting to tell the little boy's mother that there was something on the bed.

But when the middle-aged woman came over, the old man was surprised to find that the rag doll on the bed on the right had disappeared, which made the old man feel awe-inspired, it seemed that there was really something wrong with this ward.

After the rag doll disappeared, the old man's pneumonia was alleviated, and at this time, the middle-aged woman just walked up to him and asked him what was wrong.

The old man had no choice but to wave his hand, indicating that it was okay, in fact, the old man really wanted to change the ward, or be discharged, but when he thought of what the nurse said to him, he was reluctant to leave the hospital, because his children paid a lot of money in the hospital, how could he, an old man who had experienced vicissitudes, be willing to waste this money casually?

The old man decided to endure it, because he felt that it seemed that it didn't want to hurt people, otherwise everyone in this ward would not be able to live here well.

He looked at the full moon hanging high in the night sky, sighed again, and deeply felt that this world was really full of wonders, and the supernatural and ghostly events he had heard from the older generation when he was a child had actually experienced it personally when he was seventy-five years old.

"I was restless that night, so I was always thinking about something strange." The old man said to us, "I heard a lot of things when I was a child, what Xiangxi Gu poison, Xiangxi corpse and other things, I heard the older generation say, I remembered a lot of these stories that night, and then unconsciously fell asleep......

When the old man said this, his face became extremely serious, and even the smile that was faintly hanging on the corner of his mouth just now disappeared.

When I saw the old man's expression and thought of him just now telling me not to sleep, we knew that I was afraid that what he was going to tell us was the real beginning.

The fear in the old man's eyes became deeper, and his face like pine bark became whiter than just now, he glanced at me and the county order respectively, and then looked at Zhu Xiaoli who was sleeping on the bed, and finally moved his lips to tell us something that made me and the county order a person who is used to seeing things, and couldn't help but feel frightened.

The old man said that he was thinking about some old things at the time, so he gradually fell asleep, and as for how he fell asleep, he didn't know himself, anyway, he fell asleep inexplicably.

Soon he fell asleep and had a dream, in which he did not know where he had been, this place seemed to be underground, the whole space was pitch black, he couldn't see his fingers, and there was the sound of dripping water in the faint darkness.

"Tick...... Tick ......"

Of course, the old man didn't know what was going on in his dream, and before he knew it, he walked in the direction of the water droplets, and after walking for a long time, he seemed to hear something.

The voice was complicated, there seemed to be a lot of people, but for some reason, the old man couldn't hear it very clearly, so he kept walking in the direction of the water droplets.

As the footsteps moved forward, those voices became louder and louder, and the old man probably heard it clearly, these voices were actually crying!

There were children, adults, and old people, and the crying was very miserable, which reached the ears of the old man, making him feel very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't help it, because he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where the sound came from, but the strange thing was that even though the cry was loud, it didn't drown out the sound of the drop.

"Tick, tick......"

The old man was dazed, he didn't care so much, he just knew that he walked in the direction of the water droplets, and as he walked, he finally saw a trace of red light, as if it was two lanterns lit.

He walked slowly, without thinking of anything in his head, and approached the lantern, and when he walked to the lantern, and when he saw the scene behind the lantern, he was so frightened that his whole body suddenly seemed to collapse, and he fell to the ground.

I don't know why, even if he was frightened, the old man didn't wake up immediately, he was lying on the ground in his dream, and the scene behind the lantern came into his eyes.

Behind the flaming red lantern was a huge cell with eight beds, seven of which contained seven people, including the old man himself.
