Chapter 39: Hair (5)

"Your cousin, just sudden death. The police checked. He worked overtime for several days...... That day, his grandfather suddenly collapsed, and your aunt and I took the old man to the hospital for first aid. Your aunt called your cousin and asked him to come over quickly. She also asked him to get some money...... That's when your cousin withdraws money...... He's dead...... The police told us that if we were saved, we could get it back. But at night, he was in the cubicle where he took the money...... It was only discovered in the morning...... People are hard......" Li Haiming opened his eyes, did not shed tears, but stared at the front with empty eyes.

Zhou Ping withdrew his gaze. He lowered his eyes and saw the burgundy hair again. It was still sticking there, gently shaking by the wind.

"Didn't you go to your cousin at night?" Zhou Ping asked.

Li Haiming nodded, then shook his head again, "I'm guarding in the hospital." Your aunt went to find it. After several phone calls, but they didn't get through, she became worried. On the last phone call, he said that he was withdrawing money...... Withdraw money at the entrance of the hospital......" he said with his head buried deep in his head.

Zhou Ping's heart sank.

"He said he was picking up money at the entrance of the hospital? He died in the compartment of the ATM? Discovered in the morning? ”

These questions were spit out by Zhou Ping, and he watched Li Haiming's body shrink even smaller.

"Uncle, you better take your aunt to see a doctor earlier, a psychiatrist." Zhou Ping said with a sigh.

He understands Zhang Shu now.

His cousin was originally saved, and his aunt knew where he was, and she realized that something was wrong, and she had already gone out to look for it...... Even if she made an unintentional mistake, the reality is that she didn't find her sick son in time, and his son died, so she will definitely not forgive herself. Self-blame and grief probably made her subconsciously avoid this reality. She blamed her relatives who complained on weekdays, and blamed them for her son's death. She may also have added her superstitious old ideas to that illogical blame, and decided that the Li family had done something to kill her son.

If she hadn't gone crazy, I'm afraid she wouldn't have survived now.

Zhou Ping thought about it and calmed down, but he didn't want to continue to meddle in this matter. He couldn't do anything about it. If you want to send Zhang Shu for treatment, you always have to come forward with Li Haiming's husband.

Zhou Ping didn't have a little doubt and complaint in his heart. The Li family is more or less responsible in this matter, but this responsibility is not a legal responsibility, nor can it even be said to be a moral responsibility...... After more than 30 years of married life, it will not be surprising if Zhang Shu has any grievances and injustices.

"It can't go on like this. She couldn't get out on her own. There's only so much we can do to help her. You have to find a professional to enlighten her. You may also need to take some medications. Zhou Ping said, and the topic changed, "I'll call back about my cousin." My mom they'll probably come over. I'm a junior, and I can't make up my mind about this matter. ”

Li Haiming didn't react, as if he was immersed in his own world and couldn't hear Zhou Ping's words.

Zhou Ping reached out and patted Li Haiming's shoulder and stood up.

His hand was grabbed by Li Haiming's backhand.

That strength reminded Zhou Ping of Zhang Shu who was holding him before.

Li Haiming raised a face, and the old face was full of horror.

Zhou Ping was looked at by Li Haiming like this, and he was immediately terrified, and goosebumps appeared on his body.

"You, stay with me......" Li Haiming's voice seemed to come out of a pit leading to the depths of the ground, with a strange echo, without Zhang Shu's chilling and gloomy feeling, giving people the feeling of another kind of discomfort.

Zhou Ping opened his mouth and persuaded patiently: "It's useless for me to be here." My aunt was still alone at home. It's too dangerous for her to be alone. You're her husband. I ......"

"Don't go! Don't leave...... I don't want to go back yet. Let's sit down for a while......" Li Haiming's voice went up and down, and his head slowly lowered again, but he didn't let go of his hand holding Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping was at a loss, he couldn't shake off Li Haiming's hand and leave directly. He was grabbed by such a middle-aged and elderly man, and he could only see a few hairs on the top of the other party's head and the circle of white hair, which was really embarrassing.

The night breeze blew, as if blowing the voices of people in the distance.

She ...... Encounter a ghost......" Li Haiming's voice was faint, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Zhou Ping subconsciously asked: "What?" ”

"She said she was blindfolded by a ghost."

Zhou Ping suspected that he had misheard.

"She said she walked down that road five or six times and didn't see the machine that took the money." Li Haiming recounted in a dull voice.

Zhou Ping suddenly felt helpless and said, "You should take her to see a doctor." Find a better ......."

"They went looking for it, too."

Zhou Ping was stunned, "Who?" ”

"My nephew. My two nephews, as well as my brother and daughter-in-law, all went. Li Haiming grabbed Zhou Ping's hand and tightened, and the speed of his speech also increased, "They went to the hospital later. She never came back, so I told them. So my nephew and my brother-in-law went out to look for it. They didn't find anyone, and they didn't find her. They went back to the hospital and called the police. The police said, how could such an adult be missing? The policeman on duty went with them to look for it. On the road, I couldn't find the machine to withdraw the money. They later said that it was because there was no street light in that corner at night, so they didn't see it. She didn't believe it, she said it was a ghost covering her eyes, and she said it was a ghost covering her eyes several times. She also said...... It was her son who told her. ”

Li Haiming raised his head, and his eyes were full of red blood.

She said her son told her. The son was killed. The son said that he died unjustly. My son kept talking, and kept saying, ......"

Zhou Ping's goosebumps stood up.

"Uncle, haven't you rested for a long time? I'll send you back, you ......," Zhou Ping said dryly.

Li Haiming grabbed Zhou Ping's hand with both hands, "He's at home...... I see it! He's at home! He followed his mother...... Follow her and speak in her ear! ”

Li Haiming made no secret of his fear, and his fear was transmitted to Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping is not afraid of the ghost that Li Haiming said, he is afraid of Li Haiming's mental state. He had one thought in his head right now: the couple was crazy. One went crazy and blamed his relatives for his son's death; The other one was crazy, thinking that the crazy one in front of him was entangled by his son's soul and driven crazy.

"Uncle, my cousin is gone, don't think about it. Mourn. Auntie, she was so sad. She'll be fine. You'll be fine too. You have to live well. Cousin definitely doesn't want to see you like that. Zhou Ping said very ordinary words of consolation, and he did not expect these words.

As expected, Li Haiming didn't listen to Zhou Ping's words at all.

He may be the same as Zhang Shu, and he still has some sober consciousness, and he knows that Zhou Ping is denying him.

"He's really there. I see it. He was in the ......" Li Haiming repeated similar words a few times, and suddenly let go of his hand.

Zhou Ping exhaled secretly in his heart, prepared to say a few polite words, and went back to the hotel. He didn't stay here for long. At this point in time, my colleague should not have slept yet. The standard room in that small hotel only gives one key card. When he went back, he had to trouble his colleague to open the door.

He's also going to call his mom.

I really don't know how to talk about this......

Li Haiming reached into his coat pocket and dug it out.

"Uncle, go back early. I'll go first today. I'll call back and ask. My mother, they will come over when they arrange a time......" Zhou Ping was halfway through his words, and saw Li Haiming pull it out of his hand pocket.

The hand trembled, and a few trembling hairs were pinched in the hand.
