I rescued her as quickly as possible. I was really scared! I slapped her face continuously.
"cough!"
Mi Niang Razhen took it in one breath. Her face turned red, her head turned to the side, and she kept coughing loudly.
I sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. If I had been chatting with Aunt Qing for three more minutes just now, she would definitely not be able to save her.
After a few minutes of calm, I turned around and cursed:
"Are you out of your fucking mind! What can't you think of? Why did you hang yourself!"
She huddled on the bathroom floor, holding her legs with her hands, and sobbed: "Just now... I didn't know what happened just now. Suddenly I just wanted to die and not live anymore. I didn't kick down the stool.
The stools are poured by themselves.”
I frowned and asked, "Don't joke with me, are you sure?"
She looked horrified and nodded violently.
It was past 11 o'clock in the evening. I turned around and scanned every corner of the hotel room.
Eyes locked.
I stared at the sofa for a while, and felt a chill on my back.
"You stay here, I'll go out and be back soon."
"No! Don't leave!"
She begged me to stay, saying that she was scared to be alone in the hotel.
I thought, what if I leave and she hangs herself?
No matter what, there is something sinister about this matter.
There was a billiard hall downstairs, and it was crowded at night, so I asked her to stay in the billiard hall, and then I gave her something I brought with me.
It's the guru's brow pendant I got from Lao Fu.
Nothing else, just asking for psychological comfort.
I took a taxi to the city hospital and used some tricks to find out the ward number of the person who was involved in the car accident. The nurse at the front desk said that the person suffered internal bleeding and multiple fractures, but his life was saved.
After looking back and forth across the corridor, I turned the door handle and slipped into the ward.
I saw this man lying on the bed, his face was bruised and purple, and then the electrocardiogram showed that he was wearing an oxygen mask, a plaster cast on his right arm, and a lot of gauze wrapped around his chest.
During the day, I learned that his surname was Du from the comments of passers-by. At that moment, I tried to call out softly: "Master Du? Master Du?"
No one responded.
The ward was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, a cell phone ringtone rang out of nowhere, which startled me.
There was a white plastic bag on the chair. It should be the clothes and pants that the doctor took off for him. The mobile phone was in the bag.
It kept ringing, so I took it out and looked at it.
There are only two words on the caller ID: "Brother Cha."
"Hello?"
The other end of the phone immediately said: "Who are you? Where is Lao Du?"
When I heard this voice, I felt it was extremely familiar.
"You...you can't be Master Cha, right?"
"My nickname is Household Checker, which one is yours?"
What a coincidence! I quickly held up my phone and said, "It's me, Master Cha! Xiao Xiang! Xiang Yunfeng, do you remember what happened to Li Nai? You approved my life for me!"
"So it's you. Why are you still in Nanping and holding Lao Du's mobile phone?"
"This... I can't tell for a while. This man had a car accident and is in the city hospital. Where are you, Master? Why don't you come over here."
"I'm in Huacun, not far away. I'll go there."
After hanging up the phone, the sound of the door opening sounded behind me.
"Who are you? A family member of the patient?" the doctor in a white coat asked me.
I quickly said: "Hello doctor, this is my dad, I'm here to see my dad."
The doctor frowned and asked, "Why aren't you coming for the surgery this afternoon?"
I lied: "I work out of town, and I came to the hospital as soon as I got off the train."
"Let me see the ID card."
I couldn't refuse it openly, so I gave it after a brief hesitation.
He looked at it, handed the ID card back to me and asked, "So your father's surname is Du and your surname is Xiang?"
"Yes, that's right! This is my stepfather, haha."
I quickly changed the topic: "By the way, doctor, how is my father doing? When will he wake up?"
He replied: "This patient's situation is special. Logically speaking, he should wake up after the anesthesia wears off, but he never woke up. After a series of examinations, the results showed that there was nothing wrong with his head, except for a few fractures.
Blood pressure and electrocardiogram also look normal.”
"Doctor Zhao! There's something wrong! Come to Ward 6!"
"coming."
The doctor walked to the door, turned around and warned: "Stay in the hospital for a week and check the situation. If the person is still awake, figure out where the problem is."
"I understand, doctor, please excuse me."
Huacun is not far from Nanping. After one o'clock, I saw Cha Hukou again. I hadn't seen him for several months. He was still the same, but his hair was longer.
As soon as he saw me, he frowned and said, "Boy, your eyebrows are cut off at the end, there are vertical lines on the corners of your eyes, and your eyes are black and blue. With such an unlucky face, are you a ghost?"
"Master Cha, don't be joking, I haven't seen any ghosts."
"It will be serious when you see it. Forget it, go see Lao Du first."
In the ward.
"It's strange...it shouldn't be. Judging from Lao Du's appearance, he has not had any disasters in the near future."
After staring at it for a while, he frowned and said, "This matter is big or small, don't hide it, tell me in detail what happened that day."
I still trusted him, so I immediately told the whole story. Of course, there was a murder in the orchard, so I didn’t tell him.
He frowned even deeper after hearing this.
"So that's what happened. The old snake girl from Zhanghu died in a foreign land, and you drove her back?"
I nodded and said yes.
"The person was buried? What was the cause of death?"
I said he had been buried. There was no cause of death, he just fell asleep.
After hearing about the household registration check, he kept pacing in the ward, turning his head to look at the hospital bed from time to time. After a while, he sighed: "Old Du was born with a very tough character. His ancestors made a living by fishing corpses from the Yangtze River. Old Du is in the funeral parlor.
I have been working for more than ten years without any problems, but I didn't expect that something like this happened now. According to me, it was the car accident that knocked him out of his mind, so he couldn't wake up."
"why do not you believe Me?"
I said I believe it.
"Boy, don't be so harsh. You won't shed tears until you hit the wall. Do you know what it means to hide one's eyes from a ghost?"
I shook my head.
He stretched out his hands to block his eyes and said, "Let me ask you, if I cover your eyes like this, can you still see the cars on the road?"
I then shook my head.
He put down his hand, shook his head and said: "In this world, so many people cross the road every day and get into car accidents. Haven't you seriously thought about it, it's all because of carelessness?"
"To put it bluntly, it's just that ordinary people can't see it."
He looked at the time: "Wait for me here. I'll go back and get something. I'll be back at about 3 o'clock."
Around three o'clock, he came back on time to check his household registration. Compared to when he left, he had a big, bulging bag in his hand.
"No one will be coming at this time, so lock the door."
After saying that, I watched as he took things out of his bag one after another.
Empty bowl, mineral water, yellow cloth, horn snail, old hen with legs tied, wooden stick, small iron ring...
