When Zong Sheng took me to the back of the inpatient building, I was still surprised how to go to the back of the inpatient building. I remember that at that time, my location was the wall between the inpatient building and the outpatient department in front of me. I still remember the little lamp on the wall in the corner.

But Zong Sheng didn't speak, just kept walking inside, and I just kept going inside. Walking around the corridor to the back of the inpatient department, I was surprised to find that there was also a small courtyard behind it, and there was also a small lamp in the corner. It's exactly the same as the yard in front of it. The difference is that there is no building behind this, and then there is someone's house. On the left wall of the courtyard, there is a small door, and from there, there is a small building and a row of tiled houses on the other side of the small door. Under the faint light, you can see that on the second floor of the small building, there are several big words "fever infection triage room".

Zong Sheng noticed that my footsteps had stopped, so he turned around and pulled my arm. He just likes to hold my arm like that, not the usual couple holding hands. "The last time I came to look for you, I found it in Nawafang. Their vice president said that this was a house that had not been used for a long time, and the courtyard door had been locked, and it was still a padlock, and the outside was locked, so it was impossible for anyone to enter. When people go in, the padlock will definitely be removed. So at first, people didn't think about it. Even if your parents ask to open the lock and see it, they can't see you. ”

"And how did you find me?"

"The paper man was ordered to help the gentleman after becoming a boy. It is generally figured out by yin and yang. You brought that paper figure in, and it became a connection point between you and this world. When I see the paper man, I can find you from the paper man. In fact, at that time, the paper man was in your hands, and it was easy for you to come out by yourself. ”

I exhaled heavily, thinking about going back there, and I felt very heavy, breathless. "Even if I had a paper figure, I wouldn't have come out on my own. Or you can teach me. Maybe there will be another such thing in the future......"

Zong Sheng in front of him suddenly stopped and turned to look at me.

"What's the matter, it's all at the gate of the hospital, we don't have the key." I said it, but apparently he didn't mean it that way, because he still looked at me, "I'm not going to put you in danger again." I've already told your parents that you'll be mine alone in the future, and I'll protect you. You don't have to learn that, and besides, not everyone can learn that. Some people are destined for these in their lives, and some people will be implicated by cause and effect after learning. It's good to have me by your side. ”

He looked at me with a very serious look. I know that he doesn't say anything lovely, and he's not good at saying nice things to coax girls. That's what he said, and that's what he must have done.

I nodded firmly and told him, "I see." ”

He then turned around and took something out of the pocket of his overalls. The light was dim, and even in the corner of here, the small lights over there were blocked by the small trees next to them, making it look like it was dark.

Zong Sheng picked the padlock a few times, and the lock opened. The courtyard door opened with his movement "Zhi~". After that voice, what appeared in front of us was a walkway about a meter, and on the opposite side of the walkway, there was a small open door, and the door was dark.

I felt that this place had a different layout than the small room I had walked into. I remember very well that when I first walked in, I could still see the light slanting in from the doorway. But here you can't see anything.

Zong Sheng stood in front of the small door, took out a red thread, pulled my left hand, and tied one end of the red thread to my middle finger, and the other end to his middle finger. He didn't speak, and I was cautious not to ask more.

When it was tied, he took my arm and walked into the former morgue. He turned on his flashlight and shone it into the room. It's not big, but you can see that there is a room that is adjoining inside. And it seems, there is nothing here, no tables, no ballpoint pens, and no notebooks.

Because I had a red thread tied to Zong Sheng on my finger, I felt a lot more at ease. With Zong Sheng, he will never let me be in any danger. That's where that sense of security comes in.

Zong Sheng took out a small red cloth and covered the flashlight, making the flashlight glow red, very dim. As he did this, he asked, "What did the man tell you to do?" ”

"He asked me to rent a freezer. He thinks I'm dead. ”

"Okay, you shout a few times here, and you say you're here to rent a freezer and rest for yourself."

"Huh?!" I was amazed.

"Since the man is guarding the morgue here, all he does is keep records and rent a freezer. There are very few freezers in such small hospitals. More than ten years ago, I saw in the morgue of the same town-level hospital, and they only had ten freezers in one hospital, and there were no bodies lying at all, just to put those medicines that needed to be frozen. Some even bought lard dumplings from doctors and nurses, and they were all taken there to be iced. Alright, let's get started. ”

I let out a long breath and felt nervous. I've been trying to escape from the place, and now I'm back, and I'm going to get closer to it. What I have always refused, now I want to do, and I am afraid that when I say it, I will find that I am lying in the freezer.

In that red, very faint light, Zong Sheng reached out and took my hand. The thick hand wrapped me around me, as if there was power from his hand to mine.

I finally mustered up the courage to shout loudly, but tremblingly, in a loud voice, "I'll rent a freezer and lie down by myself!" I'll rent a freezer and lie down on my own! I'm going to rent a freezer......"

Zong Sheng strained on my hand, and I stopped, only to notice the changes around me. In such a small room of fifteen or sixteen square meters, a kerosene lamp appeared in the place where it was connected to another room. In the dim light, a young man was putting a lampshade on it. He looked at me, and then said, "Zong Youxuan, right?" I'll just say you're dead, and you don't believe it. Now to rent a freezer? The weather shouldn't be hot these days, and you haven't seen anything rotten or smelly. Calm down and freeze up now. Or when I am buried in the future, how ugly and ugly it will be. The price is preferential, one ingot for three days. When your family comes to pick you up, you'll ...... Who is this man? I don't have any new people registered. ”

When the man spoke, he was already aging a little bit, and by the time he finished saying these words, he no longer looked like the man in his twenties who appeared at the beginning, but an old man in his sixties. The old man looked at the record in his hand, took a ballpoint pen, and said, "There are really no newcomers registered." You...... It's not dead, why did it come? Oh, I see you, and you're not alive either. How did you come to me? ”

Zong Sheng took a few steps forward, and I had to follow, we still had a red thread tied in our hands, and it was only a distance of more than one meter at most. I was so close, I was a little scared of the old man. Zong Sheng asked, "Who opened this record?" ”

"The system in the hospital is perfect, and people who have not died cannot be registered with me. Aren't these all death certificates issued by the director of the hospital? I received the death certificate, and there was no family to collect the body in time, so it would be frozen in my place. Are you Zong Youxuan's family? I have a family, why are you still here? Let's go home and do the funeral. Or is it a medical malpractice? ”

"How did the death certificate from the hospital resident come to you? If I'm not wrong, you've been dead for more than ten years, and when you died, you were in your sixties. Uncle, you are dead. ”

The uncle was still holding the notebook in his hand, but his body was already trembling. He did his best to keep his composure. Zong Sheng pulled the record book from his hand, which contained the record and the death certificate. I tiptoed over and looked at the death certificate, which was dated the first night my parents had taken me to the hospital.

Zong Sheng picked up the ballpoint pen and said, "This death certificate is a forgery." Of course, I know that the uncle will not fake, that is, the director of the hospital is cheating. If there is a debtor, I will naturally go to him. However, since this record is wrong, it needs to be changed. Zong Sheng took the pen and wanted to draw on it.

The old man immediately shouted: "Don't move, this record can't be changed!" When a man dies, he dies! ”

Zong Sheng looked at him and said contemptuously: "I'm sorry, you are also a dead person, and there should be you in this record." Zong Sheng quickly drew the word "invalid" on the piece of paper with my name written on it before, and tore off the copy of my death certificate. Turn forward at the same time.

In the process, the old man did not resist, but stood in front of the kerosene lamp shivering, and even had to prop up the table to stabilize his body.

Among what Zong Sheng said, only the sentence that he died was a relatively big blow to him, did he have no way to accept it because of this sentence? Didn't he even admit that he was dead?

Zong Sheng flipped to the front of the record and said: "Huang Zuren, 61 years old, died on December 7, 1994, and the cause of death was ...... Suicide, hypothermia causes multi-organ failure. ”

The old man whimpered and cried: "They are going to evacuate the morgue, I am alone, without this morgue, what will I live on?" It's better to lie in the freezer and die. ”

"You're in the freezer, and no one finds out?" I asked anxiously.

Zong Sheng said: "If someone had found out, he wouldn't have appeared here." Someone should have known he was here, but didn't find his body, so he's here forever. Uncle, do you want to go out? ”
