Chapter 4: Collecting the Soul

I sat up from the bed and put my shoes on. The head was lowered and raised, the movement was a little violent, the head was dizzy, and the eyes were sparkling. The stomach is very uncomfortable, and the throat and eyes are pantothenic. I stood against the wall for a while, and after half a cigarette, I was still confused.

What's wrong with this? Hypoglycemia? Why would you be so dizzy for no reason?

I walked around the ward twice with one light foot and one heavy foot, but I really didn't see Yang Shanshan, this girl was gone. In my vague memory, it seems that she went to the bathroom and never came back. When I came to the window, it was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything, not even a trace of light. It's so black that it makes people's hearts hairy.

I looked back at the nurse who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile, didn't she say that she could just sit for the night, and this was not sleeping in bed. I leaned on the heater, my back was hot, and my eyes involuntarily fell on the old lady.

The old lady looked like a mummy, with a thick white sheet that covered her neck, leaving only a small head exposed. The ward was silent, I looked at the old lady for a while, her scalp was a little numb, I closed my eyes, and I panicked, where did Yang Shanshan go?

I walked to the door of the ward, looked down, and was so shocked that I almost screamed.

The bowl of thick white rice on the ground was now black and mushy, as if it had been burnt. Of the three chopsticks, two were thrown on the ground, and one was staggered even though it was plugged in. I crouched on the ground and looked, my throat fluttering.

I picked up the porcelain bowl and sniffed it under my nose, and a smell of urine emanated. It's like someone has spilled a soak of urine into this bowl.

I hurriedly threw the bowl on the ground, this bowl of black rice, it felt very evil.

I suddenly remembered a long time ago, when Master Xie gave Li Damin's mother a view of the yin, and in the process of casting a spell, he once made a red basin of white rice quickly turn black, which was very similar to the scene in front of me.

What does this mean?

I blinked, looked back at the old lady on the bed, the back of her neck was a little cold, are those little ghosts already here?

I poked my head out the door and looked in the hallway, which was empty. The hospital corridor at night was silent, and a needle drop could be heard.

If the little ghost really came, would Yang Shanshan be in danger?

I hesitated, but walked out of the way. Follow the hallway to the elevator and press down the button on the first floor. I couldn't explain my actions, and subconsciously thought that I should start from the first level.

When I came to the hall on the first floor of the inpatient department, it was empty, and there was no one. When I walked to the gate, I realized that the gate was tightly closed and heavily locked. Can't get out, can't get in.

I went to the women's toilet on the first floor, didn't dare to go in, and shouted outside: "Yang Shanshan." ”

There was a "whooshing" sound of water running inside, as if someone was washing something. I continued to shout: "Yang Shanshan, isn't it you?" It's not you, I'm leaving. ”

After a short time, a white figure swayed in the toilet, and after a while, a woman in a hospital gown came out. She had long hair, a sallow face, dark circles under her eyes, and she looked terminally ill. She glanced at me, and it was so sinister that I was so frightened that I fell back and leaned against the wall, not daring to move.

Her face was wet, dripping with droplets, and she stepped barefoot on the marble floor of the hallway, passing me and walking outside.

No, the door is locked, where can she go?

I held my breath against the wall, carefully following behind. When I got to the entrance of the corridor, I didn't dare to go out, lying in the dark corner of the wall, looking out. At some point, there were already a dozen people in the hall, all of whom were wearing hospital gowns, men and women, most of whom were old men who were dying.

None of them spoke, each of them stood on their own, their bodies looking strangely stiff, facing the gate, looking out together.

At this time, I saw several people coming from the darkness outside the gate. Whether it's three or four, it's hard to see. These people, dressed in black, couldn't see their faces and faces clearly, and they came to the gate until somehow, and somehow, the locked door suddenly opened.

The men in black walked into the hall, they were not tall, they were wearing black dark clothes, and they had never seen them before. They all wore strange hats on their heads, and there was a gauze curtain under the hat, which completely obscured their faces. The most bizarre thing is that one of these people is holding a black wooden umbrella in his hands.

As soon as they appeared, the dozen or so patients in hospital gowns began to wander out until they walked into the dark night, and disappeared.

As soon as a few men in black turned around, they actually walked in my direction step by step. In the silence, the soles of their shoes made a tooth-wrenching sound against the ground. I was so frightened that I turned and ran, the hallway was very dimly lit, and the ground was a miserable yellow.

I was so fast that I forgot to take the elevator and ran down the stairs. As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I felt a burst of urgency, damn, if you don't come early or late, come at this time, isn't this playing with me.

I turned into the hallway and ran to the bathroom. When I ran through a hospital room, I stopped because the scene in the glass window caught my attention.

There were two beds inside, a man sleeping on the back bed, and a man sitting cross-legged on the outer bed. This is an old man, actually wearing a shroud, his eyes are gloomy, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

I felt a thrill all over my body. What I'm seeing now is probably not a matter of the yang world. Those weirdos in hospital gowns, and this old man, will they all be ...... Dead person?

Just as I was about to think about it, I hurried to the toilet and was about to go inside, when I suddenly saw a person standing at the door of the women's toilet next to me, it was Yang Shanshan.

The girl seemed to have hysteria, facing the wall, and her head slammed lightly against the wall, and then bounced back. I walked over and asked tentatively, "Yang Shanshan?" ”

She ignored me and just banged her head against the wall.

I patted her: "You wait for me here, don't run around, I'll take you back after going to the toilet." ”

She suddenly tilted her face to look at me and said, "There are too many people in the toilet, I'm queuing here." ”

I stood at the door of the women's restroom and looked in with all my courage.

There were a lot of women in the toilet. The women wore a variety of hospital gowns, some clean and some very dirty. Some of them, young and old, behaved in a very unusual way, neither entering a private room nor using a washstand, or standing stiffly in a daze, or walking around aimlessly. The light in the women's toilet was extremely dim, illuminating the faces of the people inside, and when I raised my nose and smelled it, there was a particularly pungent smell of urine, which made me very uncomfortable.

This place is really weird, I don't dare to look at it more, so I grabbed Yang Shanshan, who was in a daze, and ran upstairs down the stairs.

The bladder was full of urine, I gritted my teeth, and said that I couldn't go to the toilet, and I really had no choice but to use the old lady's urine jar. Seeing the fourth floor, I pulled Yang Shanshan and ran out of the staircase, and immediately saw the few black-clothed people holding black umbrellas, walking in the corridor in front.

The men walked side by side, blocking the hallway. Step by step, they walked very heavily. I had a strong premonition that these people were going for the old lady.

Are they here to collect the old lady's soul?

I thought about it, pulled Yang Shanshan down the stairs to the third floor, and then ran wildly through the corridor on the third floor, climbing up the fourth floor from the other side of the stairs.

The hallway was dimly lit and the light bulbs were hissing. A few black-clothed people were still about ten meters away from the old lady's ward, I visually measured the distance, pulled Yang Shanshan and ran wildly, ran out of breath, and finally rushed in front of those black-clothed people and rushed to the ward.

Quickly closed the door, and when he saw that there were still a few cans of beer on the table, he didn't care, opened them one by one, poured them all on the ground, and then blocked the camp bed and chair in the doorway. My muscles tensed, my breath was short, and my chest was heaving. ran like this, but it cost me my life, and my whole body was sore.

Standing against the wall for a while, his heart beating faster, and he estimated the time, and the men in black were about to come. I was so nervous that my gums itched, and my bladder twitched for a while, I couldn't hold it back, so I got under the bed and took out the old lady's urine jar, turned my back to them, unbuckled my belt, and began to pee.

This soaking urine is really refreshing, and all the hell and gods are thrown behind. I felt wet below my legs when I peed, and when I looked down, I didn't pay attention when I urinated, and I poured my pants.

Holy shit, I'm in trouble.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt a thrill, suddenly opened my eyes, and woke up. Then I saw that I was still lying on the camp bed.

As soon as I turned over and sat up, I was sweating profusely, it turned out that it was a big dream just now. I was pondering, and I felt that my crotch was wet, and I didn't know if it was a urina or a dream, and my pants were soaked.

"Huh? It's disgusting. Yang Shanshan stood next to me at some point, looking down at my pants.

I quickly grabbed my crotch: "You, you've been in the ward?" ”

Yang Shanshan pouted: "Of course I've been sleeping." Brother Liu, what kind of spring dreams are you having? ”

I wiped my face and remembered the strange dream I had just had, which seemed to be real and illusory. I said to her, "I dreamed of you. ”

Yang Shanshan snorted: "You are so disgusting." This girl has to go to the bathroom, you dead pervert and hide aside. ”

I rubbed my head, a little dazed, and casually said, "If the toilet is crowded, you can come back." ”

She ignored me, and as soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! This bowl of rice. ”

The bowl of white rice had turned into a black mess, two of the three chopsticks were thrown on the ground, and the one that was inserted was also staggered. Yang Shanshan looked at me: "Did you get it?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh: "Can you turn a bowl of white rice into burnt black rice?" ”

"Could it be, is there really a ghost coming?" She was frightened.

The eldest sister of the nurse came over to take a look, and she was also a little scared: "How can this be?" ”

I looked at the horizon, the belly of the fish was gradually white, the sun rose, and I finally survived the night. I'm really going to die, and in a few more nights, I can die in front of the old lady.

The old lady suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at me: "Xiaoxiao, come here." ”

I walked over and asked, "Grandma......"

The old lady looked at me, coughed a few times and said, "Grandma thank you." Grandma knew in her heart that they came to collect me last night and didn't leave. ”

I laughed more than I cried: "You old Ji people have a natural appearance." ”

"This man, if he deserves to die, he must die. It's not a good thing to stay alive. I have a business on my mind that I can't die right now. Xiaoxiao, I know that the Dao has reached the end of his life, and the king of Hades has made people die in the third watch, and no one can live to the fifth watch. You can block the imp once, but you can't stop it twice or three times......"

She suddenly trembled and stretched out a hand, and I quickly grabbed it.

"Xiaoxiao, I have a small bag at the head of the bed, you bring it to me."

The nurse's eldest sister took out a very old-fashioned and old hand-embroidered bag from the bedside table, dirty, estimated to be fifty or sixty years old. The old lady spoke very hard and asked the nurse to find a wallet in her bag, and when she opened it, there was a note inside.

The old lady looked at me and said, "Xiaoxiao, you can go and get a few things according to the above address." ”

I looked at the words on the note, it was very delicate, but the handwriting was a little blurry, and it seemed that it had been a long time. The old lady said, "When you get there with the note, someone will look for you something." ”

"What are you looking for?" I asked.

The old lady didn't look at me either, but looked straight at the ceiling: "A long, long time ago, I met a master...... These things were left behind by him at that time, and they were specially reserved for me to continue my life before I died. ”
