It was already late at night, and most of the lights in the surrounding residential buildings had been turned off. Occasionally, there were still a few lights on, to light the way home for those who had not returned home.
At the intersection 800 meters east of Xiheli Road, a gray-haired couple was sitting on the roadside crying with their faces covered.
Their son had just passed away, and the old couple had to bear the pain of the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man, and burning paper to send their souls to each other at the crossroads in this silent night.
The woman kept mumbling in a voice that only she could hear, and she kept talking to her son who was separated from yin and yang.
I hope the paper money burned can express the lovesickness in her heart.
However, at this moment, the old woman inadvertently raised her head and saw that there was a dirty man walking staggeringly from the direction of the blocked Xiheli Road.
At this moment, a little girl wearing red clothes and bare feet jumped to the man's side, took the man's hand, and walked in the other direction.
It is worth noting that there are several copper coins tied to the little girl's ankles. When she walks, the coins collide with each other and make crisp sounds.
"Old man..."
The woman quickly touched the old man beside her who was burning paper with his head down, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Did you see that someone was taken away by a girl just now?"
The old man wiped his tear-stained eyes and looked around, then sighed and added some paper to the fire:
"It's so late at night, there's no one here, you're dazzled..."
When the old woman heard this, her heart was once again occupied by sadness.
She lowered her head and stared at the fire in front of her in trance for a long time.
…
At the same time, in the corridor of the critical monitoring area of Lin'an City Hospital, the person in charge and the night shift nurse stood at the elevator entrance, looking towards the end of the corridor.
The sudden appearance of the polling bureau and the inexplicable way of handling the case made them feel confused, but they did not dare to step forward, so they could only stand here and feel entangled.
At the end of the corridor, the faint light of the three incense sticks was like fireflies in the darkness.
The red rope tied to the incense stick in the middle was hanging weakly on the ground, and the copper coins tied to the red rope were also lying there quietly.
There was no light on in the room at the end of the corridor, which made the person in charge and the night shift nurse even more confused.
At this moment, the already weak light above the two of them suddenly began to flicker for some unknown reason, as if there was some kind of interference.
"Leader...this...what's going on?"
The female nurse quickly moved closer to the person in charge, looking up in panic at the lights that flickered on and off.
The person in charge looked calm, but in fact, he was already in a panic.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would have someone come and renovate all the lights in this building tomorrow.
It seems a bit too evil for this situation to happen at this time.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
At this moment, the two of them heard a crisp sound coming from behind.
This caused the two of them to quickly look back, but there was nothing behind them.
Before the two of them came to their senses, they felt that the temperature around them seemed to have dropped a lot.
It felt like someone was blowing wind on the back of their neck, and they felt a chill on their back.
There were tears in the female nurse's eyes, and she gritted her teeth, fearing that she would scream.
She has been working the night shift here for many years, and this is the first time she has encountered such a strange situation.
It's a feeling that you can't put into words, but you clearly know something is wrong.
Contrary to the attitude of the two of them, Feng Yun was quietly waiting for Feng Yun in the darkness of the ward. After hearing the crisp sound, he showed a smile.
"The man turned around and avoided..."
Feng Yun turned around as he spoke, his back facing the door.
Fatty and Yan Qilin looked at each other, feeling confused about this, but they quickly followed the instructions and turned to face the window with their backs to the door.
The remaining Zhao Xue and Ma Ling'er looked at the three of them with puzzled faces, not knowing what was going on.
Just when Ma Ling'er was secretly muttering to herself, what on earth was going on, Zhao Xue beside her suddenly said a word without thinking:
"It seems like something is coming..."
This made Ma Ling'er look at Zhao Xue beside her with confusion, only to find that Zhao Xue was looking at the door seriously, fearful and a little expectant.
"Jingle Bell……"
The crisp sound came again, but this time, the sound came from the copper coins hanging on the red rope.
The copper coin that was originally hanging on the ground seemed to be grabbed by someone. It stood straight in the air, and from the end where the incense was tied, there was a slight bend, as if someone was pulling the rope forward. As if walking.
The curved rope part was constantly pushing forward. Ma Ling'er and Zhao Xue stared with big eyes and clearly saw four lines of footprints on the incense ash spread on the ground.
A line of footprints clearly belonged to an adult man, and even the shoe prints could be clearly seen.
The row of footprints next to them were barefoot, and they looked like they were those of a child. Just looking at the footprints, the child was still jumping around when walking.
But what frightened the two of them was that they couldn't see anyone at all, only the footprints on the ground that continued to extend inside step by step.
The bend of the red rope soon came to the foot of the pillar. Soon, as the bent part of the red rope suddenly bounced, the rope was once again straight in front of the two people.
Ma Ling'er and Zhao Xue subconsciously covered their mouths. This scene was really too weird.
At this moment, Feng Yun slowly turned around and clasped his fists towards the empty space at the door and saluted slightly:
"Thank you, please send the other two back. After this matter is settled, incense will be burned on the Flowing Fire Avenue for three consecutive days to send the boy off!"
"Snapped!"
Just as Feng Yun finished speaking, the originally straight rope suddenly bent and drooped to the ground again.
The copper coins pierced through the rope fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, which startled both Ma Ling'er and Zhao Xue.
"call……"
Suddenly, Zhuzi, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, sat up. He panted heavily and looked around. In the darkness, he could only see four figures standing beside his bed.
"Don't worry, the Bingfu Polling Bureau is handling the case..."
Feng Yun patted Zhu Zhu's shoulder, but Zhu Zhu clearly hadn't come to his senses yet, sitting numbly on the hospital bed in a daze.
Fatty and Yan Qilin turned around and quickly noticed the sudden appearance of footprints on the ground, which were so clear on the incense ashes.
"Director Feng, just now! Just now!"
Ma Ling'er was so surprised that she couldn't speak a complete sentence...
(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
