Chapter 506: Spring Festival (8)
Li Yun first heard a cry of pain. The two ghosts scuffling together in the hallway fell to the ground in a ball, rolling on the ground. One of them was holding his head and the other was holding his stomach, and they were all in pain. The sound of falling ground and wailing was also heard in the ward. For a while, there was really an atmosphere of ghosts crying wolves in the maternity ward, and the cry of the baby could not dispel this haze.
Fear also spreads through the hospital room with pain.
Li Yun raised his eyes and saw the college student holding a scalpel leaning against the wall and walking out of the ward. He seemed to have retained more sanity, and he could find that the source of the change was Li Yun. Li Yun stared at him without showing weakness. The college student's grim gaze quickly weakened. As soon as he let go of his hand, the scalpel fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The college student slipped against the door frame and fell to the ground, gasping for breath without being able to make a slightly louder shout.
Li Yun relaxed the pain that had been exerted on him a little.
His choice of patients and ghosts is also targeted. The patient selected for this college student was a patient who was seriously injured in a car accident in the Department of General Surgery of the Third Hospital, and the patient had multiple wounds on his body, and after the effect of the analgesic rod had passed, the pain could not be completely stopped by painkillers alone. The college student should not have suffered such trauma before his death, and it does not seem that he died from trauma. At the same time, he had more reason left and couldn't ignore the pain in his body.
In contrast, the crazier, even insane, ghosts are the real trouble.
Li Yun quickly looked away, his gaze penetrating the wall, and he looked at a ghost in the next ward.
The demon howled frantically, hysterically, his hands tearing open his already tattered clothes, clutching at his belly desperately. His bare upper body had visible scars. The wound had not yet scarred, and it seemed that before the wound had healed, he died, and remained that way after his death. The ghost couldn't stand the pain in his abdomen, and scratched his stomach full of nail marks. In his whimsy, he put his hand into the wound in his chest, pulled his flesh open, and tried to penetrate deep into his abdomen from there.
Li Yun's eyelids jumped, and he relaxed the pain he had inflicted on the ghost a little.
As soon as he relaxed, the ghost calmed down.
The pant sound replaced the previous howl.
It was as if the labor pains had passed, and these ghosts had been given a chance to breathe.
At this time, Li Yun transmitted his thoughts into the consciousness of the ghosts.
He just wanted to drive them away and prevent them from continuing to cause trouble in the Third Courtyard, and he didn't want to see these ghosts waste their remaining souls in meaningless battles.
Li Yun knew that in other places that he couldn't see, in Yaocheng and other cities, large and small hospitals, tragedies between ghosts must be unfolded. He could prevent such a thing from happening in the Third Hospital, but he couldn't stop all the tragedies. Even these ghosts who were driven out of the three hospitals by him are likely to quickly turn around and join the fight in other hospitals.
Li Yun was a little gloomy.
There was so little he could do, very little.
He was an ordinary person in his life, and after his death, he had some unusual "ghost" abilities, but this did not make him a savior.
Only a handful of people and ghosts could be saved.
Li Yun remembered the boss.
is obviously a legendary phoenix, but when the boss tells his past, it seems to be describing an ordinary bird.
Li Yun thought about it carefully, most of the reason why he had a preconceived idea that the boss was very powerful was because of his inherent impression of the "Phoenix", a divine beast. What is the difference between a flame that burns a demon and a chain of black impermanence? In addition, the boss's ability to pluck feathers to confuse the living, as well as to "introduce" netizens to him, is also similar to the actions of black and white impermanence in the world. They are all different from people, they all have special abilities, but that's about it.
No one is a savior.
The immortals in the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Mansion can't save themselves, so they can only disappear with those two places, not to mention the other legends that survive in the world?
Li Yun quickly picked up his spirits and looked at the ghosts in the maternity ward.
His thoughts have been conveyed to the past.
The college student stood up first against the wall. He glanced at Li Yun with fear, as if he had completely regained his senses, and there was no such ferocity and cruelty in his eyes. He didn't speak, staring at Li Yun vigilantly, still a little hesitant, as if he was unwilling to give up.
The other ghosts were slow to react, but were also aware of Li Yun's exorcism. They were even more unwilling, looking at Li Yun with murderous intent in their eyes, and they did not dare to act with some concerns.
Seeing this, Li Yun drew a gourd in the same way, and once again inflicted the pain of the patient on them.
After repeating this, the ghosts finally had some intention of retreating, and began to move their feet outward.
Li Yun's heart was relieved, and he suddenly heard the sound of music from far and near. The sound was coming from the stairwell, all the way up, and it was someone climbing the stairs playing music.
The music was very cheerful, and Li Yun was a little surprised when he noticed the panic that accompanied the music.
The sound of the music had reached the door of the maternity department, and an exclamation was heard.
All the ghosts' eyes turned to the hallway door.
Wang Yiqiu was pinching an iPod, looking at this strange confrontation scene with palpitations.
She soon spotted two familiar faces among the crippled ghosts. Yin Shikang and Li Yun were standing in the hallway, both of whom had helped her and made her feel kind.
"Great...... Finally found someone...... I just didn't see anyone in the administration building, and I thought something was wrong. Wang Yiqiu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She had come all the way and had been looking for a lot of places before.
She carefully aimed at the mutilated ghosts and walked quickly towards Liyun.
Wang Yiqiu didn't know all the ghosts of the Third Academy. Because of its special nature, she has never been to the obstetrics.
Recently, she has been staying at home. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Li Jingjing and Wang Sheng are going to Wang Yiqiu's grandmother and grandfather for a reunion dinner. Because the little nephew Li Yun was also there at that time, Wang Yiqiu could only choose to avoid it. Song Yingying heard about this situation and simply invited Wang Yiqiu to the third courtyard to spend Chinese New Year's Eve.
Wang Yiqiu came later than Li Yun and Uncle Li, and later than Yi Xin. She walked directly through the air corridors of several buildings inside the Third Hospital, and did not meet Uncle Li and Yi Xin who were guarding the downstairs of the inpatient department, so she pinched her iPod, played cheerful music suitable for the Spring Festival all the way, passed through those decorated corridors, and followed the screams just now, and found the obstetrics.
If it weren't for the howls of this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts that Li Yun had tossed before, Wang Yiqiu wouldn't have found them so quickly.
Wang Yiqiu didn't know what was going on, just looked at those broken ghosts, and it was the ghosts who were lining up in the obstetrics department to be reincarnated that had a conflict. She had heard Song Yingying say before that sometimes there was a fetus with a "golden spoon" in the obstetrics department, and those ghosts waiting to be reincarnated were likely to break the blood flow, just to grab this precious opportunity to reincarnate. It is said that this kind of scramble is now staged on a daily basis in the maternity wards of some private hospitals. There are also some ghosts who are ingenious and go directly to high-end residential communities to find pregnant women. Of course, many of these ghosts who burrow into the belly of pregnant women prematurely are self-inflicted, and they will be devoured by the ghosts that squeeze in after the pregnant woman is admitted to the maternity department. Who can really occupy the body of the fetus, in addition to looking at the "off-the-plate tricks" such as planning and luck, the most important thing is to look at the strength of the ghost itself.
Those lonely souls and wild ghosts who had been tossed by Li Yun for a few rounds were also looking at Wang Yiqiu at this time, and Wang Yiqiu's heart was beating in horror. It was the first time she realized that reincarnation was so difficult and not an easy path. No wonder there are so many ghosts in the Third Courtyard, who would rather stay in the Third Courtyard, and do not rely on the right time and place to seize the time to reincarnate.
"Xiaoqiu!" Song Young-young's anxious voice came from the end of the corridor.
Li Yun turned his head to look, and saw that there were several heads poking out of the door of the room that he didn't know what it was for.
Song Yingying's head is the most eye-catching, not only because she stands in front, but also because Li Yun is familiar with her.
Wang Yiqiu also met Song Yingying.
Yin Shikang pulled Wang Yiqiu, "You go to Yingying, hurry up, don't run around." ”
Wang Yiqiu realized that something was wrong, looked at the two figures, one black and one white, hurriedly lowered his head, and ran quickly in front of Song Yingying. She was still holding the iPod in her hand, and as soon as Song Yingying reached out and pulled Wang Yiqiu into the room with the iPod, the sound of music also squeezed into the small room, and echoed out.
Li Yun added another force at this time, warning those lonely souls and wild ghosts again. It's just that Wang Yiqiu's arrival broke the previous atmosphere. The minds of these lonely ghosts are really not good, and their memory is probably about the same as that of the legendary goldfish. Li Yun could only repeat what he had just done.
He heard that on the other side of the corridor, Song Yingying whispered to Wang Yiqiu what happened. The iPod was also playing music.
The music switched three times, and the ghosts finally gave up.
The college student cautiously backed away all the way to the window of the hospital room, and the figure disappeared outside through the glass.
It was like a signal that the other ghosts had exited the inpatient building.
Seeing that those lonely souls and wild ghosts were all driven away, Li Yun also felt a little tired.
Yin Shikang asked suspiciously, "Xiao Li, what did you do?" ”
Li Yun didn't know how to answer. What he did was not visible to outsiders, only he and those lonely ghosts experienced this tormenting process themselves.
Black and white impermanence seemed to know what Li Yun had done before. The empty bottles that Black Impermanence threw away disappeared into the air like those ghosts. He took out another cigar, and with a flick of his fingers, he lit the cigar and swallowed the clouds. Bai Wuchang looked at Li Yun like a curious baby, but he didn't ask questions, and spit out the greetings written in his eyes from his mouth.
Song Yingying rushed out of the room, shedding tears as she ran, and her body, which belonged to a junior high school girl, flew directly and crashed into Li Yun's arms.
Li Yun was thrust by her furry head, and she barely caught her breath. He leaned back, his feet directly supporting his body weakly, and his head slammed into the ground.
Li Yun bared his teeth in pain, only to feel that the head pressing on his chest and the hands holding his waist were about to toss him to death. Feeling the wetness coming from the placket of his chest, Li Yun gave up struggling.
He stared at the headlights on the ceiling of the maternity department with his eyes open.
Song Yingying's body trembled and the fear in her heart passed over together.
She struggled to suppress the impulses and fears in her body until now.
Those lonely ghosts want to live, why don't they want to come back to life?
Li Yun lowered his eyes, and from where he was lying, he looked at Yin Shikang who was standing in the corridor with some difficulty.
He only saw one of Yin Shikang's backs.
The old man's not-so-tall body stood up to the sky and greeted the residents of the Third Courtyard who swarmed out of the room. The ghosts were noisy, and they asked Yin Shikang about his current condition. Yin Shikang didn't get an answer from Li Yun just now, so he could only comfort his compatriots at this time. Li Yun knew that he was talking nonsense, and he also knew that he was talking nonsense, but except for the two people who knew it well and the black and white impermanence on the side, the other ghosts all believed Yin Shikang's words.
Li Yun could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the obstetrics department was recovering.
The cries of young children, the laughter of adults, and the relieved exhalation of ghosts mingle together.
Li Yun looked back at the ceiling.
On the side of the headlamp on the ceiling, a three-dimensional paper cut representing the New Year is hung. The paper-cut was blown in circles by the air-conditioned wind, and the red tassels that hung down shook and swayed.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival and the current atmosphere of obstetrics complement each other.
Li Yun touched Song Yingying's head, pushed her shoulder, and sat up.
Song Yingying had stopped crying.
"Mom...... My parents, will they be okay? And younger brothers and sisters......" Song Yingying asked in a low voice, "Will those lonely ghosts attack them?" ”
"Probably not. What they want most is the body of a newborn. Li Yun replied, "What they want is 'life'." ”
It's different from the ghost dolls in Yangcang Church who want to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls. Those lonely ghosts want a "new life", not the skin of a living person.
Song Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yun got up from the ground and dragged Song Yingying up as well.
Song Yingying was already cheerful, and turned to look for her companions.
Wang Yiqiu's face was as white as paper, probably worse than that of a woman who had just come out of the delivery room.
Li Yun's "should" can soothe Song Yingying's heart, but it can't make Wang Yiqiu settle down. It is more convenient for her to go back to inspect her family than Song Yingying, she doesn't need to take a long-distance bus to another city, she only needs to rub the bus in Yaocheng, and she can see her family in less than an hour.
Wang Yiqiu's mood was an outlier among the many ghosts in the Third Courtyard, as distinct as fireflies in the deep mountains and old forests at night.
Li Yunzheng was about to say something.
"Boy, you really can." Hei Wuchang spat out a puff of smoke, like an evil dragon spitting out a sea of fire, and the cigar that had just been lit for a short time was sucked by him in one go, and directly turned into snowflakes and fell one after another. Hei Wuchang clapped his hands, "Alright, there's nothing to do with us here." Let's go, Lao Kang. ”
Bai Wuchang smiled and waved at Li Yun, the hand was tucked into an extraordinarily long plush sleeve, which looked like a kitten waving its paws covered with long hair.
Li Yun wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't stop the pair of black and white impermanence.
Their attitude is already obvious. They will just do what they do. If a demon kills someone, they kill the evil spirit, and nothing else.
Yin Shikang turned his head and thanked the black and white impermanence, and politely sent them to the door of the obstetrics.
Li Yun watched as the two figures, one black and one white, one tall and one short, slowly walked out of sight. In the distance, Li Yun could still hear Bai Wuchang's lively questioning.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't we eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? Do you want to go back to the capital for Chinese New Year's Eve?
"Eat you big-headed ghost. Everyone has to be on patrol today. Don't you see this in the world? ”
"Hmm......" Bai Wuchang seemed to be reprimanded, and muttered dejectedly.
Li Yun felt that he could feel a little more at ease. At the very least, it's impossible for these crazy lonely ghosts to kill the living wantonly.
A jingle bell sounded, interrupting Li Yun's train of thought.
The nurse in the obstetrics department exclaimed, bent down a little bewildered, and picked up the scalpel she had just kicked.
"Where did this come from? How did it fall here? The nurse's face was a little flustered, and she asked the people around her, and hurried to the nurse's station.
Yin Shikang sighed behind the nurse, "I don't know where that young man got the scalpel." Don't come out of the operating room, do you? That's miserable. One less scalpel, and the people in the operating room are going to die. ”
"It doesn't look like it." Song Yingying leaned in and took a look, "There is no blood on it, it's new." ”
"New ones are the best. Hey, you go to the operating room and check every one of them. Don't really come out of the operating room. Yin Shikang was worried, "If the wound has already been stitched, it will be troublesome." ”
The wounds were all sewn up, only to find that there was a scalpel missing from the surgical instruments, and they couldn't find it alive or dead, that was not only the doctors and nurses in the operating room, but also the doctors and nurses in the whole department had to go crazy, maybe even the dean had to be alarmed.
A group of ghosts from the three courtyards dispersed in a hurry.
Wang Yiqiu's feet were nailed to the ground, like rocks in a torrent.
The ghosts in the Third Courtyard all looked at Wang Yiqiu, a little worried, and a little curious.
Song Yingying pulled Wang Yiqiu. She was smart and reacted quickly.
"You can rest assured, they just want to be reincarnated and only pick small children. I mean, just pick newborn babies. Song Yingying said busily.
Wang Yiqiu didn't feel at ease because of this, "Yunyun, my nephew...... My nephew is different. She said in a panic and looked at Yin Shikang.
Yin Shikang asked, "That kid can still see ghosts?" ”
"I don't think I'll see it. But......" Wang Yiqiu was still worried, "I used to be just some lonely ghosts who hid from people, but now they want to be reincarnated......"
Her heart was beating wildly, as if she had a bad premonition.
In fact, from the moment she stepped into the conference room and heard the music constantly playing from her iPod, her heart beat chaotic.
The conference room was decorated with joy, and there was a celebratory afterglow, and the music playing on the iPod was also joyful. Loud music echoes through the empty room. This strong sense of contrast made Wang Yiqiu think that the ghosts of the Third Courtyard had been swept away by some force. She didn't have Li Yun's ability, so she could only see with her own eyes and hear with her ears. She is a ghost, and what she is looking for is also a ghost, and it is impossible to call the police or ask anyone. A sense of unease gripped her. Wang Yiqiu thought for a moment that he was the only one left in the Third Courtyard.
When she heard the wailing in the obstetrics, Wang Yiqiu didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hold on to a heart.
When those lonely ghosts were gone, just when she thought it was okay, she didn't expect to hear such news. It didn't take long for her heart to calm down, and it started to mess again.
The iPod is still playing music constantly.
I don't know whose iPod it is, who set the playlist, the cheerful music is probably finished, and then the sound coming out of the iPod changes, and the slow and monotonous piano background of "The Grudge" pops out note by note, and there is a disturbing sub-melody behind the mournful note, revealing an ominous meaning.
Wang Yiqiu's hand shook, and the iPod fell directly to the ground.
Her heartbeat seemed to be controlled by the music, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, stepping on every note, beating irregularly.
A figure walked out of the hospital room. The half-hundred-looking woman looked around for a moment, and then her eyes fell on the iPod.
Song Yingying secretly screamed that it was not good, but she couldn't touch that iPod at this time. She saw Wang Yiqiu subconsciously bend down to pick up the iPod, and hurriedly grabbed her hand.
The woman had already walked out of the ward, wiped Wang Yiqiu's hand, picked up the iPod, and walked to the ward with it, asking, "Who left this mobile phone outside?" ”
"What a phone. That's an iPod. The pale young woman on the hospital bed said, "Mom, turn it off, it's too uncomfortable to hear." ”
"I think it's pretty good. Is it classical? The next bed interjected.
"Not really. I guess it's called light music. ”
"Don't you think it's like a horror soundtrack?"
"Ah, I remember, what kind of horror soundtrack is this."
"Ahh
"Ouch!"
Young mothers, whether they have watched horror movies or not, have a concept of horror movies, and older family members don't know much about it.
"Mom, where did you pick it up? Give it back to others. ”
"You turn it off first. It's so uncomfortable to listen to. ”
The woman with the iPod was very aggrieved, "I heard a voice, and when I went to the hallway, I saw this thing lying on the ground." How is this closed? ”
"I'll do it."
Song Yingying had already pulled Wang Yiqiu to stand up. The arm she held under the palm of her hand was trembling.
"I'll have to go back and see...... I'm going to see Yunyun......" Wang Yiqiu said to herself.
Xiao Liyun is different. It is impossible for Wang Yiqiu to listen to Li Yunsan's words and treat it as if nothing happened.
"Hand it over to the nurse's desk."
A result has been discussed on the ward. The woman took her iPod and went to the nurse.
The nurses were still struggling with the scalpel, but they didn't expect another iPod to pop up.
There are often people in the Third Courtyard who lose things, but those lost things are always found quickly, and they are always found within the scope of the owner's activities, so no one suspects that it is a theft problem, let alone a ghost.
If you really count it, there are very few "lost items" in the three hospitals. Even with the patients and their families coming and going, few of them will leave something behind, let alone leave it in the corridor of the ward - thanks to the ghosts under Yin Shikang's management are very good at scavenging.
"Not in the hallway." The nurse took the iPod, "Still people use iPods?" ”
Hearing this, a ghost in sportswear stretched his face, very unhappy.
This was something he had "picked up" from a patient a few years ago. The patient left the iPod at the head of the bed and didn't look for it, so it was his.
"When the lost and found, you can get it again." Yin Shikang said angrily, "Hurry up and go to the operating room for examination, don't be stunned." ”
Then the demons reluctantly dispersed.
Wang Yiqiu was grabbed by Song Yingying and wanted to run along. Instead of going to the operating room, she was going to go home and have a look.
Song Yingying didn't dare to let go, afraid that if she saw her family, Wang Yiqiu would lose her mind like those lonely ghosts.
"I'll go with you. And Xiao Li also went. Song Yingying hurriedly said, and looked at Li Yun for help.
Wang Yiqiu also looked over, his eyes were in a hurry, and he was already in a mess.
Seeing this, Li Yun agreed.
