When I was very young, there was a small abandoned western-style building on the back street of Baixiang Street. I heard it was built by the French. There is a small forest behind the small western-style building. Back then, Di Baotian and I sometimes liked to go there to play after school. Occasionally we would forget the time and would go home very late.
In order to stop me from being so playful, my mother once made up a story to scare me, saying that the Frenchman who built the building hanged other people in the family before leaving, and then threw them into the woods, so now the small area After dark, there are some long-tongued hanged ghosts wandering around in the woods, specifically catching children who can't go home.
I have to say that this story about my mother really scared me for many years. So much so that when I was a teenager, I was still afraid of the long-tongued hanger in that small forest. When I heard Songzi talking about the female ghost with a long tongue, I didn't even immediately connect it with the hanged ghost in my childhood memory. Now I suddenly saw it under the light of a flashlight, and I was even scared. Before he could scream in surprise, he staggered back a few steps.
As soon as he retreated, he bumped into Qin Bukong's leg. He suddenly woke up, and then saw my posture. Following the direction of my flashlight beam, he also suddenly saw the long-tongued female ghost standing inside.
Qin Bukong jumped up and immediately put a gu bell on his finger. The ding ling swayed loudly while mumbling something in dialect. I admired him for being able to react in such a short period of time, and when the Gu bell rang, a sound of wind passed by my ears and went straight in the direction of the female ghost.
I couldn't see the ghost, but I saw that the female ghost was motionless, keeping her original posture and looking at us, but the dishes and quilts on the bedside table next to her were all being destroyed one after another as if they were experiencing an earthquake. The shock fell to the ground. I knew that Qin Bukong was using his own poison to confront this female ghost head-on. I should also help, but all my things were on the stool I was sitting on, so I rushed to When I got to the stool, I was about to pick up my bag to resist. I saw the light switch in the ward next to me, so I turned on the light at once.
Most of the hospitals have long strip fluorescent lamps with ballasts. When the power is turned on, the lamps will flicker a few times. I was very sure that even during the flicker, I could still see the figure of the female ghost, but when the lights were completely turned on, the female ghost disappeared, leaving only the cups that fell from the bedside table to the floor. The cover, because the power has not disappeared, is still rotating back and forth, rubbing against the ground, making that creaking sound.
And with the light, I could see clearly the old patient in the bed. He was sleeping quietly as if nothing was wrong, but his right hand was stretched out from the quilt to the outside of the bed, hanging flat, with the palm of his hand facing towards the bed. superior. There was a blood stain about the size of a pigeon egg on the inside of his thin wrist. There were even some blood stains on the sheets. I walked over cautiously. The female ghost had disappeared without a trace. I took a closer look at the blood stain on the inside of the patient's wrist. , and found that it was not actually his wound, but it was indeed his own blood. Because after I wiped off the blood, there was an area the size of a coin on the inside of my wrist, like beads of sweat, and some blood beads the size of rice grains slowly emerged.
Generally speaking, bleeding occurs from wounds. But this one didn't. It was just that under the light, there were traces of bruises visible under the skin. It felt like some dark red rash had appeared on the skin after scraping.
At this time, a nurse on the night shift knocked at the door twice, and then said to us, patients and family members, it is already very late, please don't make a sound, this is a hospital, other patients are still resting! His tone sounded a little impatient, probably because there was a lot of noise when something fell to the ground just now.
Qin Bukong made a "shh" gesture to me and then waved his hand, which meant that I should not argue with the nurse who was shouting outside. So I silently picked up the things that had been knocked over on the ground, put them back on the old patient's bedside table, and then returned to Qin Bukong, but still facing the side of the bed.
That night, I didn't dare to turn off the light anymore, and I didn't feel sleepy anyway. This female ghost actually passed us directly without knowing it. As for why it chose our ward and an unrelated patient in the next bed to attack, Qin Bukong It seems to be a kind of contempt and provocation to us. Qin Bukong and I couldn't accept this, and felt that we were insulted. What was even more unacceptable to me was that although I knew she was a ghost, the appearance of that beautiful female nurse had been lingering in my heart until I saw it just now. It was even more unacceptable for me to see such a beautiful person turn into a skeleton reflecting the light, with eyeballs.
That night, there was no more sleep. Ever since Songzi woke up, because he was more scared than Qin Bukong and I, he had been huddled in the quilt and shivering slightly. In order to avoid scaring him, Qin Bukong and I didn't say anything, but were silently on guard. The old patient in the bed slept until dawn.
After dawn, Qin Bukong asked me to go through the discharge procedures. I asked him, now that all these ghosts have come to the hospital, if we just leave like this, will there be trouble in the hospital again? Qin Bukong raised his eyebrows and said, "Who can care about so much? We can't help if we stay here." I said people can't be so selfish. If that's the case, this female ghost was brought to the hospital because of us. What should we do if she hurts others? What should we do with those defenseless patients who don't know how to deal with it? I'm already sick, but if I'm scared like this, why should I be scared to death?
Qin Bukong asked me impatiently, what do you want to do? Try to be a hero and stay here to catch this ghost? I said that I have seen the true form of this ghost. If I guessed correctly, it should be the woman I saw in the cave. It was just because the "charm" itself can change into the appearance that others like, so now we meet The one you arrived should be just an illusion. Since it is an illusion, its ability is definitely not as powerful as the real body, and it may not even really exist here. This is why the ghost appeared last night, but your Gu bell never rang. , the reason why the opponent doesn’t move when you release the poison to attack.
Qin Bukong didn't say anything, so I added, think about it for yourself, Qin Bukong is considered an expert. Over the years, have you possibly encountered a ghost that didn't respond at all to your tricks? Even if I am a rookie like me, if I throw a few random moves, even if I can't hurt the opponent, I won't be able to shake him at all.
Qin Bukong's silence was obviously because he had also thought about this issue. So he said, OK, let's stay one more night. If we can't extinguish this illusion tonight, we will leave tomorrow no matter what. Seeing that he gave in, I couldn't continue to be unreasonable, so I agreed to him.
So on this day, because Songzi had stopped taking the medicine, the nurses were just doing routine rounds. And I haven't seen that beautiful female ghost again all day long. Although I know it's a little strange, I really miss her in my heart, as if my soul has been taken away. Thinking about it, my heart beats faster. So much so that when Qin Bukong and I took turns sleeping during the day to prepare for a possible fierce fight at night, I even dreamed of the female nurse.
In the dream, she was smiling. In the dream, I could actually see my whole body being pulled by this beautiful woman. It seemed like we were in a small bamboo forest, with only the two of us around. And her smile is the kind that people can't refuse. When I was trying to see her face more clearly, she turned her head again, leaving me with a trace of phantom and a kind of regret that I couldn't stop. , this feeling almost ran through my entire dream, but the weirdest thing was that I actually knew that I was dreaming from beginning to end.
So when Qin Bukong woke me up, I lost my temper at him.
That night Qin Bukong and I were both awake, but he still hung a Gu bell on the bedside of Songzi's hospital bed. After the old patient in the inner bed fell asleep, we secretly opened the middle curtain and opened it. Turn on the lights to ensure you are not caught off guard later.
When it was past two o'clock, which was almost the same time as the ghost encounter the night before, there was still nothing unusual in the ward, but Qin Bukong told me to keep watch while he went to pee. There is a toilet on both sides of the corridor on each floor. At this time, most people have already gone to sleep. In addition, the men's toilet is inherently looser than the women's toilet, so there is no possibility of finding a place. But Qin Bukong's trip took a little longer.
I was thinking to myself, could it be that while peeing and peeing, I suddenly wanted to have a big one? When I thought of this, I felt a little more at ease. Just as I was putting my legs on the bed to find a more comfortable position, the Gu bell with a seven-inch bone on the bedside started to jingle. .
