Chapter Ninety-Three: The Contagion of Aging

The old woman was already dead, with several bullet holes on her body, bleeding outward, and throwing a pistol beside her, as if she had committed suicide.

At the same time, Xu Mo smelled an even stronger putrid smell, coming from the corpse, this breath was the same as the one coming from Mengmeng's mother before, but it was much stronger.

"Daddy!" the little girl cried out when she saw her father.

Han Ying hurriedly covered her eyes so as not to see the corpse on the ground.

"Mengmeng, follow Auntie, don't come over. Guo Lin heard his daughter's voice and hurriedly ordered.

"Where's Dad, Mom?" Mengmeng asked.

"Mom is not there. Hearing this, Guo Lin came over and took his daughter over, but did not tell her the truth.

Han Ying said loudly, "Doctor Li, I have something I want to ask you. ”

The sixty-year-old man was Li Heling, who listened to Han Ying's words and said lightly: "I'm tired, I don't have time to treat people today." Then he commanded the bodyguards, "Let them go out." ”

When the bodyguards heard this, they gathered around, as if they wanted to drive them out.

Han Ying hurriedly said: "I don't want to treat the disease, there is a prescription you prescribed, Doctor Li, I want to ask you for verification." ”

Li Heling ignored her, turned around and walked towards the depths of the courtyard, and before leaving, he didn't forget to order, "After driving them out of the city, let the person take this corpse away." ”

The bodyguards had already surrounded them, and one of them seemed to be the leader, and said to everyone: "Doctor Li wants to rest, if there is anything, please go back and wait." ”

When he said going back, he was of course referring to going back to the bamboo house. But as he approached, Xu Mo immediately noticed that the bodyguards were emitting the same rancid smell, which obviously came from the blood splashed on the old woman's body.

The bodyguards drove everyone out of the courtyard, and the body of the old woman was also carried out and thrown outside, and the leading bodyguard said to Guo Lin: "Mr. Guo, please bring back your wife's body." ”

Guo Lin had calmed down strangely, handed Mengmeng to Han Ying, walked up to the old woman's corpse, squatted down, and took a closer look.

The leading bodyguard walked up to him and persuaded in a low voice: "Mr. Guo, whether you believe it or not, this corpse is indeed your wife's corpse." ”

The clothes on the old woman's body were exactly the same as those of his wife, Guo Lin obviously saw it, and after listening to the words of the bodyguard, he faintly felt that this corpse was really his wife.

But why did his wife think about it? For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

Frightened and sad at the same time, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch his wife's body, but suddenly remembered something, and withdrew his hand like a snake and scorpion.

He then straightened up and glanced at the lead bodyguard. The leading bodyguard persuaded: "Please mourn, Mr. Guo, Dr. Li has done his best, but your wife's illness is really special." ”

Guo Lin sighed: "Okay, this is my wife's corpse." After a pause, he added, "But I remember you have a corpse parking service here, right?"

The leading bodyguard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, there is this service, we have a special basement, and the fee standard is..."

Guo Lin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then interrupted him loudly, "I don't care what your charging standard is, now immediately transfer my wife's body there." ”

"Okay. When the chief of the bodyguards heard this, he waved to the other bodyguards, and immediately two men came and carried the old woman's body in the other direction.

Guo Lin glanced back at Xu Mo and Han Ying, and then said, "Please go back first, Mengmeng also troubles you to bring it back, I have settled... Just come. The words were very vague, but Xu Mo and Han Ying naturally understood what he meant.

"Daddy, where are you going?" called Mengmeng.

"Dad has something to do, Mengmeng, follow Auntie back, Dad will be back in a while. Guo Lin replied and chased after the two bodyguards.

Xu Mo and Han Ying had no choice but to return to their residence with Mengmeng. After about two or three hours, Guo Lin placed the body and came back, and as soon as he came back, he planned to leave with Mengmeng, walking in a hurry, and his expression was a little anxious.

Xu Mo asked about the corpse, Guo Lin was hesitant, but he couldn't say clearly, but before leaving, he reminded Xu Mo and Han Ying that it was best for them to leave as soon as possible.

But Han Ying's prescription hasn't been asked clearly, how can he leave? After the two of them left, they talked about it, and they both felt indescribably weird, if the old woman was really Mengmeng's mother, why did she age like that in just a few days?

Xu Mo knew that the reason why she was like this must be related to the corpse odor emitted from her body, but because of what kind of body stinks, she will age, but she also can't think clearly.

The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason, and finally decided to ask about the prescription as soon as possible, and then left here.

The next day, without waiting for Li Heling to send someone to call, he went to the courtyard. The door of the courtyard was closed, and the bodyguards did not know where to go, and the two stood outside the door, looking through the gap between the fences to the security room, but there was no one in sight.

Han Ying reached out and pressed the bell, and after a long time, she heard a man's accent coming out of the walkie-talkie, and said in a rough voice: "What's the matter?"

Han Ying asked politely, "I want to see Dr. Li, is Dr. Li free today?"

"Not available. The man replied coldly, and then he was silent.

"Hey, hey!" Han Ying shouted a few more times, but no one responded, and waved on the camera, but no one paid attention to it.

Xu Mo sighed helplessly, "It's useless, let's go back." Looking at it like this, I won't see Li Heling today. ”

Han Ying had no choice but to go back with him.

On the third day, the two went again, and as soon as Han Ying rang the doorbell, she heard a man's accent shouting: "Get out!" The voice was anxious, and the tone was indescribably rude.

Han Ying was taken aback by this sudden shout, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Mo was furious, walked forward, and said into the walkie-talkie: "You have taken medicine, and the anger is so big?"

"it, if you don't get out, I'll shoot you up. The man's voice was hoarse.

"Hey, why are you like this, we need to see Dr. Lee. Han Ying said.

"Dr. Li doesn't have time to see you, get out!" This time, it was another man who was speaking, and his voice was even more anxious than the one in front of him.

Xu Mo and Han Ying looked at each other, unable to figure out what happened to these bodyguards and why they became like this. I had to go back to my accommodation again and wait.

On the fourth day, when the two went again, they rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one responded, and the whole courtyard was quiet, as if there was no one. Xu Mo planned to climb over the fence to take a look, but was stopped by Han Ying.

By the fifth day, it was still the same, and the courtyard seemed to be a little quieter and quieter than the day before. At this time, the time for the two of them to stay for a week had already passed, and the man who managed the hotel had not come to charge.

The two of them could not guess what was happening, and they were going to find someone to inquire, so they went to the shop and then to the outermost gate, but they did not see a single figure, and apparently everyone had gathered in the courtyard.

What is certain is that these people were in the courtyard and did not leave. Because Xu Mo was closer, when he calmed down, he could hear a slight sound from the depths of the courtyard. But what it was, it was impossible to tell, because everyone was in the house, the walls were blocked, and the sound became muffled.

The two waited for another two days, got up in a hurry, and when they arrived outside the courtyard that day, they rang the doorbell, but still did not receive a response.

Xu Mo listened to the movement with his ears sideways, and was suddenly startled, the courtyard was very quiet, he didn't hear any sound, it seemed that everyone was gone, and it seemed that he had gone to a distant place.

"Let's go in and have a look. Xu Mo proposed: "I'll climb in, open the iron door, and you can go in again." ”

"Okay. Han Ying thought about it for a while, and then stopped stopping it, but still instructed: "Be careful." ”

Xu Mo nodded, then went around to the side, climbed over the fence, and walked into the security room. The security room was quiet, there was a lot of snow piled up at the door, no one cleaned it, and there were no footprints, obviously no one had come in for the past few days.

Xu Mo found the control button, opened the iron gate, and let Han Ying in, and the two kept walking towards the depths of the courtyard.

Directly opposite the gate was a rockery, and the two of them walked around it, and the ground was also very deep in snow, and there were no footprints and no one cleaned it.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Han Ying nodded, and the two continued to walk deeply, there were many rockery corridors in this yard, and the houses were scattered between the rockeries, the two chose a direction and continued to walk forward.

This time, after only walking a few dozen steps, when he arrived at a house, Xu Mo's ears moved, and he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Han Ying asked in a low voice.

"There's someone in this room. Xu Mo also whispered back, but couldn't help frowning.

What he heard was the sound of breathing coming from the room, and the breathing was indescribably heavy, as if a tuberculosis patient was out of breath.

Seeing him standing still, Han Ying was puzzled and asked, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "It's okay, but be careful." Knock on the door first and see how the people in the house respond. ”

Han Ying responded, and the two approached. Han Ying stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, and said politely, "Is there anyone in the room?" ”

After a while, I heard a faint voice in the house, "Help me!"

The voice is low, and it appears that the person who is speaking is extremely weak, as if humming in the throat.

The two of them were startled again, and pushed the door in, but saw a man lying on the floor, the person looked very familiar, it was the driver who drove them in the snowmobile.

It's just that his appearance, who has not been seen for the past few days, seems to have aged by more than ten years. Not only that, but it is also aging at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and the hair is rapidly turning gray, and the face is crawling with wrinkles in an instant.

In just a few minutes, he changed from a man in the prime of his thirties and forties to an extremely old man.
