I panicked and took two steps back, rushing to open the door I had just walked in. But under the dim kerosene lamp, when I turned around, there was no door at all. If I had a little fantasy just now, now I don't have that little illusion.

If this old man can say my name, I'm not just one who can see him. I was in a hurry to pat the wall, but it didn't, it didn't work at all.

The old man looked at the record and continued: "Zong Youxuan, died of high fever, because this small hospital delayed the time of treatment, resulting in multiple organ failure and death. Well, you see, there's no need to arrange a freezer for you. If you want a freezer, you have to charge an additional fee. I don't accept money from the yang world, and when your family comes to take you away, they send you paper money, and you pay back what you owe me. ”

I was leaning against the wall behind my whole body, shaking my head vigorously: "I'm not dead!" I'm not dead! I've got a fever and I'm not dead at all! ”

"The records have been sent to me, can there be any mistakes? There are many people who have been sent to me just like you, and they don't know that they are dead. Some of them waited for their families to come to pick them up, only to know that they were dead. Some of them have been there all the time, even watching themselves buried, and they still feel that they are not dead. ”

"I'm really not dead. Big brother, I'm really not dead. My high fever has subsided. It was only when I saw someone calling me in the courtyard that I left the ward and walked here in a daze. I'm not dead! I exclaimed. At this moment, the tears of fear could no longer hold back their falls, "Big brother, please help me and tell me how I can go back." I'm not dead, and I don't want to die here in such a muddle. ”

"It's all here, and you still say you're not dead? The person you saw who brought you out should be yin, because you died, people guessed that they brought you over. If you're not dead, how can you see it? ”

"Me, that's not a yin! That's, yes, Zongsheng. He's not a bad guy, he's just a ghost. He is a big living man. I just saw him ...... "That's how my words were." The hand that had been holding on opened up. In the palm of my hand was the little paper figure with the blood stains. The paper man had been crumpled in the palm of my hand because of my nervousness and fear. "It brought me here. Big brother, I'm really not dead. It's this, it's this that brought me here, it's not a bad thing. I'm not dead. Let me out. ”

The eldest brother looked at the little paper figure in my hand, his face changed slightly, and I quickly said, "I'm really not dead." I've got a fever. Big brother, please, let me out. ”

The man's face became more and more ugly, and then his face sank: "I have a name, but I am already dead." I don't care about the rest! ”

His tone was very bad, and with a wave of his hand, the light on the table went out. The room was plunged into total darkness.

From light to pitch black, it was only a matter of a second, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move a single step, and stood there staring around. My heart was beating wildly, and I couldn't calm down.

It's pitch black, it's completely pitch black, it's the same feeling I felt in the enchantment before. I moved my feet slowly, and finally I felt a wall. Leaning against the wall, he sat down slowly, looked around, and helplessly poured up.

What the hell is this place, and how can I get out of here? Over there, in the hospital, what's going on now? My aunt should have found out that I was gone, did she inform my parents? Did Zong Sheng get the news? "How can I get out?" My voice trembled, helpless and hopeless.

Time ticked by, and I don't know how long it had been since I came in. It always feels like a long, long time, a few days. I don't eat or drink. It shouldn't be a few days, probably dawn. It's just that I'm here alone, and I'm nervous and scared, so I have some illusions about time.

In the darkness of silence, there was a sudden sound of the door being opened, which seemed to be heard not far from me, and I stood up in surprise, but it was still dark all around, and there was no light at all.

Footsteps! Is there really a sound of footsteps? Right next to me, it was like walking past me. The sound of several people's footsteps.

"Is anyone there? Did anyone come in? I shouted in a hurry, but no voice answered me.

A voice said, "There's no one here." It's been deserted for so long. She wouldn't have come here on her own. Go back, it's weird here. ”

Another voice said, "But we've searched everywhere in the hospital, and there is no one at all." Where can she go? "It's my mother's voice. Hearing my mother's voice, the same voice that had clearly cried, I excitedly shouted, "Mom, Mom, where are you?" "I shouted so loudly, almost with all the strength I had now. But it was still pitch black around me, and I could still hear my mom's voice, "Is there anything else in the hospital?" We'll find out again. ”

"There's also a small room over there that is stacked with miscellaneous items. I'll take you there. But we've looked for it before. There was no one there. ”

My dad's voice said, "No one? No one? Can anyone who is hospitalized with you lose it? ”

"Yo? What are you talking about? What if your daughter went by herself? Also look for us to ask for people. ”

"Didn't the surveillance say that they didn't see her out of the hospital gate?"

"Who knows where she is? She's not a neurotic patient, so we can still tie it up and help you watch people. If you take care of the patient yourself, you can lose the patient yourself, and you come to us nurses. How many people do we nurses have to watch on a night shift, and you don't just take over the entire hospital and let the doctors and nurses watch your daughter. ”

"Alright, alright." My mom said, "Take us over there." If we can't find anyone, we'll call the police. ”

"It's not been 48 hours since I've lost such a big adult, and it's useless to call the police. Let's go! It's still a locked door. ”

I reached out in the darkness and waved at the voice: "Mom! Mother! I'm here, take me out, Mom! I screamed, but I was answered by the sound of the door closing.

My heart sank as if I had entered icy water. I shrunk back and sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall behind me. I think I kind of know what's going on.

When I was young, I went to preschool, the year Zong Sheng left. A three- or four-year-old child in the village was lost, and the whole village went to look for it, and all the places where they could hide people were seen. There are a lot of people, and basically there is nothing to say that there is nothing that cannot be found. But when it got dark, the child could not be found, and some people even suggested that they should go to the river to hook the child with a large battery lamp, bamboo poles, and iron hooks. Everyone felt that all the villages had been searched, and there were old people sitting at the entrance of the village, and no strangers had entered the village to take away the children. The boy must have fallen into the river. For such a long time, now I can only go to the river to hook the corpse to see it.

In the middle of the night, many adults went, and a very long bamboo pole was tied to the kind of basket that was hung on the girders at home with a big iron hook, stretched out into the water, lined up in a row, and the carpet had to be hooked through. If there is blood in the water, or if the person holding the bamboo pole feels that something has been hooked, it has been found.

But the whole village was busy until more than two o'clock in the evening, and there was still no trace of it. There was no blood on the surface of the water, and there was no hook on the surface of the water for anything special.

When the villagers went home, the child's parents stayed by the river and cried to the river.

Some people say that let them go to Lao Bei and ask. At that time, when Zong Sheng, who was just seven years old, followed his grandmother home from the river to watch the excitement, and when he walked home, he said to his grandmother: "There is a smell, the smell of dead people." ”

His grandmother didn't take it seriously, so she felt that the child's family knew the smell of dead people.

The next day, the whole village continued to look for the children, and even asked the children in the village to go to the place where they played every day. Children can run and drill better than adults. But the next day, I still didn't find it.

On the third day, their family really went to find Lao Bei. Lao Bei asked the people in the village to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, and the whole village turned around, shouting as they turned. The child's family paid for someone, more than 20 young men, and the lion dance team during the Spring Festival came out, and the big gongs and drums, coupled with the sound of firecrackers, the whole village was lively.

turned around again and again, and when it was almost dark, some people began to question whether Lao Bei's method would work, and whether he still had to find someone to go to the lower reaches of the river to see it.

Grandma Zong Sheng ran over and shouted loudly: "Don't rest, the child is in the crack of the wall over there!" ”

Everyone gathered, and in the gap of about twenty centimeters between the two new houses, the child was caught in it, unable to move, looking at the hanging hands and head, which should have died. Counting the time, it will be three days before this death.

Grandma said that in fact, on the first day, Zong Sheng passed by here and told her that there was a stench of dead people here, but she didn't take it seriously if she was a child. Some children also said that they often play hide and seek here. But they did look for it that day, and they had looked at this crack in the wall several times, but no one was there. And now the corpse really pops up out of nowhere?

I was young at the time, and I couldn't remember much, and many of them were later told about by adults. They said, Lao Bei said, this is called the ghost Tibetan people. The ghost hid the child here, so naturally the people who came to see it could not see it. This kind of thing is to beat gongs, drums and burn firecrackers, and when there are too many people, the ghosts will release the hidden people. If it is found in time, maybe the child can be saved. If you don't find it in time, that's it.

I remember that at that time, when the child's body was to be taken out, the people of the two houses still quarreled. Because to take out the body, you have to smash a hole in the wall and pull it out. This pulls directly, and it can't come out at all. The kid is completely stuck inside. Houses on both sides, smash the other side? It's smashed, the body is pulled out, how can it be carried out of someone's house? This corpse of someone else's family must not go through the door of his own house, which is unlucky and not allowed by customs. It's not something you can do with money.

ps: Some girls asked, why is Lao Bei's sentence so useful? Listen to him for everything? They're too unassertive, aren't they?

Let me explain, in the countryside, some very prestigious old gentlemen do have such prestige. What they say, especially those that are similar to those suggested, will be respected.
