[211] Ghost House
Wengen finally woke up after the full rescue efforts of the hospital's medical staff, and his consciousness is also recovering.
When Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing arrived, he had already been transferred to the corridor of the hospital where he was undergoing infusion.
Wen Gen didn't speak, but crystal tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes. The nurse didn't seem to be there. They looked at Wen Gen, who was still very weak, lying on the hospital bed, and questioned how the hospital could treat him like this.
Can a patient be accommodated in this corridor? What’s more, he is a patient who has just been transferred out of the intensive care unit? This is not possible! In this case, Zhong Kui stayed at Wen Gen’s bedside, and Zhi Qing came forward to find the hospital’s theory.
The female nursing worker came and was startled when she saw Zhong Kui and accused him: "Who are you? Why are you sitting on the patient's bed?"
When Zhong Kui saw the female worker angry and serious, he hurriedly jumped down from the hospital bed. He explained that he was the patient's friend, and the nurse stopped and said nothing more.
Zhiqing went to the doctor and got the bad news. Although Wengen saved his life, he lost his voice forever. There was something wrong with his vocal cords. After a series of examinations, no lesions or mutations were found. Anyway, he could no longer speak.
He couldn't speak, but he could write. The monkey's head made babbling sounds, just like a baby learning to speak. When he looked up at Zhong Kui helplessly and made a sound in his throat, he understood what he wanted to tell them in writing.
matter.
Zhong Kui didn't bring any paper or pen, so he had to spare a dollar and asked the nurse to quickly buy some from a stationery store outside.
Zhiqing also asked the doctor why Wengen was placed in the hospital. It was because the ward was full and there were too many patients. There was really no free ward for him, so he had to be placed in the corridor. Once a recovering patient was discharged, he would be placed in the hospital.
Immediately put Wengen in.
Wengen refers to various deficiencies in body functions. As long as you make some adjustments and cultivation, there should be no serious problems. In this way, Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing have nothing to worry about.
Wengen wrote down many of his unknown secrets recently on paper, and it was written on it that the nurse named Zhu Xia did have a problem. But there was one thing that made Zhiqing confused. The wild grass he wrote on it,
Where?
In any case, he still had to trouble someone to help find Wengen's relative. He didn't know whether this relative was the nephew of his third aunt and his sixth wife, or the grandson of his seventh aunt and eighth aunt. Anyway, he became a relative.
At that time, people didn't have much money in their pockets, but they had a lot of relatives. There is an old saying in Sichuan, which is called bamboo roots, roots, roots. Even if you have the same surname, you may be someone's relative.
Isn’t there a saying that says: If you live in poverty in a busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. The allusion is simply that if you have no money, even if you were born in a downtown area, you will not have a single relative to visit you. On the contrary, if you are rich, although
Even though we are deep in the mountains, we still have relatives who are not afraid of traveling long distances to visit and build relationships with us.
Thinking about Wengen's father-in-law and his personality, coupled with his scholarly family background, he naturally has many relatives. It's a coincidence that this relative's surname is also Chen, and his name is Chen Xiaomao.
Chen Xiaomao's family lived in the suburbs of Beimen City. He discovered that Wen Gen was in the Broken Tongzi Building. He was also catching eels by a kerosene lamp that night when he accidentally saw a man walking towards that place. He quietly followed him to see what happened.
It was discovered that the man did not come out after entering. At that time, he never dared to enter this ghost building that was feared by everyone in the local area.
This haunted building is famous among the locals. Some people said they saw a bloody human head sticking out of the window of the haunted building. Others said they heard cries from the haunted building in the middle of the night.
Chen Xiaomao told that this place was first used as an execution ground, and this is the place where "Shopping at the South Gate Bridge, shooting at the North Gate Bridge" was mentioned. The South Gate Bridge was bustling with people, while the North Gate Bridge was deserted and murderous.
Later, with the passage of time, there was no bloody massacre here, but endless vicissitudes, and a mellow fragrance that washed away the lead. Everything around it was quietly changing, with newly built food factories and newly built bridges.
, as well as newly built asphalt roads.
Only here, it is still the same. The only change is that it is more desolate than before, and it is more difficult to detect its secrets.
After this building and this land gradually became vacant, some farmers who made money from every inch of land spontaneously reclaimed this forgotten land and planted some food.
But the good times did not last long, and people's hard work was not rewarded accordingly. Instead, it was in vain. When the food grown was out of season, groups of black storks would fly in and destroy the food people had worked so hard to grow.
People tried many methods, including using bamboo poles to drive them away and using domestic dogs to guard them, but all to no avail. Finally, they had no choice but to abandon the land.
I also invited a Feng Shui master to take a look. The Feng Shui master made a calculation and said that there is a problem with that building. Since there is a problem with that building, let’s demolish it! In this way, people flocked to demolish that wooden building. But every time
Once people were preparing to evacuate, everyone arriving at the scene would suddenly suffer from high fever, splitting headaches and other illnesses.
Whether Zhong Kui's words about Chen Xiaomao were groundless rumors or not, he couldn't draw a conclusion at the moment. He had to conduct further investigations to confirm.
When Zhong Kui, Zhi Qing, and Chen Xiaomao arrived at that prohibitive area, a large area of wild grain grass drifting in the wind and waves mixed with some barnyard grass came into their sight.
Chen Xiaomao said: "On the surface, there is nothing. The strange thing is that this piece of land was dry land when it was reclaimed, but later, for some unknown reason, it gradually turned into a wetland. It has been a wet and muddy field for many years."
No food is produced in the muddy fields, only weeds, barnyard grass, and some unnamed kudzu vines grow. A winding path leads to the floor of the building. When the weeds are in full bloom, the path will be submerged.
Zhong Kui sniffed, and an unpleasant odor breathed into his respiratory system. His throat tightened and he almost vomited. This smell was really unpleasant, almost like the smell of rotting corpses.
He asked Zhiqing to spread out the drawing Wengen had drawn in his hand. On the drawing was a large piece of grass. There seemed to be something different in the grass, like a dog? More like a wolf. Under the weeds, there were a few strokes that looked like people.
Picture of bones.
Although the three of them did not witness what happened to Wengen that night, their observations at the time felt that he was very impetuous and frightened. Only then did they draw this creepy and strange painting.
"Do you smell anything?" Zhong Kui looked at Zhiqing and Chen Xiaomao and asked.
"Hoo ho! I have a cold, uncle, where are you?" Chen Xiaomao called Uncle Zhiqing. He called him according to his seniority. He should regard Chen Zhiqing as an elder!
Zhiqing nodded and said, "Yes, you can't smell it if you don't pay attention."
"You two wait here, I'll go take a look and come over." Zhong Kui frowned and strode into the waist-deep weeds. There was a winding and slippery path under his feet.
