"Bang, bang bang!"

The stainless steel cabinet just pulled out a gap.

Suddenly, there was a banging sound in the cabinet.

The sound startled me and made me almost fall off my stool.

It sounded... like something banged in the cabinet.

The banging sound lasted for half a minute, and then there was no sound at all.

Surrounded by rows of neatly arranged morgues, it was eerily quiet.

"Did you hear it wrong? You must have heard it wrong...could it be haunted at this noon time?"

I swallowed and comforted myself.

Gathering up the courage, I stood on the stool this time and pulled out the cabinet with a fierce force.

White air came out of the corpse cabinet, and a cold wind blew against my face.

When I saw it, it was Li Tiecheng.

His face was as white as white paper, his hands and feet were stiff, and the sutures from the surgical wound on his head could still be seen. A layer of hoarfrost formed on his eyebrows and mouth due to the low temperature.

He must have been dead for a few days.

Now that he is dead, what happened to Li Tiecheng's family members?

I remember when Xiaoxuan came back that day, she said that his family members had also come to the hospital. Xiaoxuan said that Master Xue was very busy trying to appease Li Tiecheng's family.

Did Xiaoxuan lie?

No, no, Xiaoxuan would definitely not lie to us. She must have told us after seeing those people.

Could it be...could it be that Uncle Xue was the one who asked for it?

Just thinking about this, I glanced down and suddenly saw something.

On Li Tiecheng's right shoulder, there is a tin frog.

The tin frog is a toy frog, black and green, palm-sized, wind-up. I have played with this kind of toy before. You can buy it at the canteen for two yuan each.

No wonder the banging sound I heard just now was because the toy tin frog had been wound up in advance and was being held down by the shoulders of Li Tiecheng’s corpse to prevent it from moving.

I pulled the refrigerator and moved the body, and the wind-up iron frog started jumping around and bumped into the surroundings, so it made a banging sound.

I took this thing out, turned it over, and found a folded note hidden in the iron sheet.

I took out the note between my fingers and opened it. I found a piece of white paper with nothing written on it.

At this time, I was in a state of nervousness. Maybe it was an illusion. I always felt like there were a pair of eyes watching me in the morgue.

Unexpectedly, there was a piece of white paper hidden in the tin frog. Who put it there? Did you want to tell me something, but you didn't have time to write it?

I folded the paper and put it in my pocket and left.

Back in the hospitalization hall, I was waiting for Dou Sprout to come back. We had agreed before that we would meet him here after he finished developing the photos, and we would go back to the village as soon as he came back.

I took out the toy frog, twisted the spring twice, and watched the frog jump on the ground.

"Big brother, big brother, this is so fun."

At this time, a little girl wearing a hospital gown squatted down. She was very happy looking at the tin frog jumping on the ground and clapped her hands repeatedly.

"Brother, can you give it to me to play with?" The little girl in a hospital gown said she wanted this thing.

I shook my head, "No, I still have use for this thing. Just ask your mother to buy you one."

"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoxuan, why are you here?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman ran over with a medicine bag in her hand, and she picked up the little girl.

"Kid, your name is also Xiaoxuan?" I asked.

The little girl twisted back and forth in the arms of the middle-aged woman, shouting to her mother, "I want a frog, I want a frog toy."

"I'm sorry, the child is ignorant, what does she want?" the middle-aged woman asked me.

I spread my hands and showed the tin frog to her.

"Brother, where can I buy this?"

I thought about it and said, "You should be able to buy it around the hospital."

"Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, only two or three yuan."

The middle-aged woman hugged the little girl and said, "Xiaoxuan, listen and stop making trouble. Mom will take you to buy frog toys and meet your big brother again."

The little girl was wearing a hospital gown. A smile immediately appeared on her face, and she waved to me and said, "I'm buying a frog. Goodbye, big brother!"

"Hey!"

"Mineko!"

I looked back and saw that it was Bean Sprout Boy who was back, and he was holding a kraft paper plastic bag in his hand.

"Why are you the only one? Where's Brother Yu?" Dou Sprout looked back and forth.

"Brother Yu has gone back. Let's go back now. Give me your phone."

"How are the photos?" I asked.

Dou Sprout shook the brown paper bag and said, "The store said they could only develop one version, but more than a dozen of them were developed. I came back to find you before I even had time to look at them."

I took the paper bag and said, "Let's go back now."

"Don't tell Sister Chun and her sister?"

"No, go back first."

"What's the matter? You're so anxious. Besides, I don't think your face looks good."

"Don't ask, I don't know either. Anyway, I'll tell you everything first."

After leaving the Central Hospital, I hailed a taxi and said to the driver: "Master, go to Tianguangdong Village, Dao County."

The driver was a tall and thick-set man. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Tianguangdong? Is it the village of Guiziling?"

I nodded and said yes.

"It's a bit out of the way to get there. The road is difficult and full of potholes."

Douyazai said: "What's wrong? We're giving you money. If I can't give you more fare, just drive quickly."

"Okay then..." The driver stepped on the accelerator reluctantly.

The car got on the main road and headed towards Daoxian.

I sat in the back seat, opened the leather bag, and poured out all the photos in the bag.

He picked them up one by one and looked at them, and Dou Sprout also came over to look at them.

When I turned to the seventh picture, I took a look and immediately turned the photo around. My heart was pounding and cold sweat started to break out on my forehead. I was scared.

"What? I didn't see it clearly. I'm just taking a look." Dou Sprout said.

Dou Sprout grabbed it and took a look. He immediately yelled, "Fuck!" and threw the photo away. The driver was shocked.

I washed it out and saw it clearly.

In the photo, behind the stalactite pillar.

Just a person!

I took a deep breath and bravely picked up the photo and looked at it.

I saw a fat, white face appearing behind the stalactites, and my facial features could be vaguely discerned. The fat face was extremely pale, and it tilted its head as if there were no supporting bones in its neck, and it was smiling.

Douyazai shuddered and said, "I'm scared to death, this big white face, no wonder, no wonder the photo shop owner looked at me just now and chased me out in a hurry, as if he had seen a ghost."

"What's wrong, brother? You two are so startled, and your faces don't look good," the driver said, turning the steering wheel and looking in the rearview mirror.

"It's okay, nothing happened." I pretended to be calm.

"Where are you from? Brother, the accent doesn't sound like we are from Yongzhou, but from the north, right?" The driver talked to me.

I thought to myself, just drive your car and keep asking questions.

Seeing that I didn't reply with a dark face, the driver smiled awkwardly, and then his cell phone rang.

"Hey, Teacher Zhang, I'm driving to solicit customers."

"Parent-teacher meeting? I don't have time. Can the child just go there?"

"What the hell?"

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely be at school tomorrow. Teacher Zhang, please pay more attention. Hey, okay."

After hanging up the phone, the driver slammed the steering wheel and cursed: "You bitch! I'm so angry!"

"What's wrong with you?" Dou Sprout asked curiously.

The driver turned around and said, "Damn it, I don't have a good education! My son passed notes to female classmates at school! They even went out all night together!"

"How old is your son?" Dou Sprout asked.

"I'm eighteen, and I've just entered the first year of high school." The driver's face looked full of hatred.

"You are no longer a freshman in high school. You are too strict. In what kind of society is this now? Girls are open-minded. It's normal."

I glared at Dou Sprout and told him not to fart.

"I know," the driver sighed and said, "Society is right, but no one wants this to happen to their children. It would affect their studies too much and make parents worry. Don't you think so?"

"etc...."

I turned my head sharply and looked at Dou Sprout: "What was the last sentence you just said?"

"It's normal. I said it's normal. What's wrong?"

"Not this sentence, the normal one before it." I asked.

Douyazai thought for a while and said: "The first sentence... I said that little girls are very open-minded."

"right."

I suddenly thought of something I just encountered.

that is.....

A little girl who looks at most eight years old...

Will you dress up with earrings?
