Chapter 056
I quickly raised my arm and threw it hard into the hallway upstairs, and the baby was thrown out. I thought I was fine, but I didn't expect the female ghost under my feet to break free, causing me to lose my balance and hit the wall. I felt like my whole body was falling apart!
I thought she was angry too, and would go berserk soon, but I didn't expect that this female ghost didn't care about Lu Yao and me at all. She rushed towards the direction where the baby was thrown out in the corridor. She was so fast that I could only see a shadow flash past my eyes and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Although I think even a fierce ghost can understand maternal love, now is not the time to think about this. When I saw the female ghost disappear, I quickly pulled Lu Yao and ran downstairs.
After we left the hospital and ran a little further, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the grass by the roadside. As I relaxed, I felt the pain in my body, as if all the previous pains came back immediately, making me uncomfortable .
Lu Yao glanced in the direction of the hospital, then leaned over and sat next to me. We looked at each other, and no one spoke. I just thought it was because I was too tired, and Lu Yao didn't know why.
She seemed to be in deep thought. After thinking for a while, she looked towards the hospital, thought again, and looked at me again. I felt very uncomfortable and asked her what was wrong.
She said that today's things were too destructive to her worldview and she needed some time to digest them.
I said this is quite normal. It took me several days to get used to it.
Lu Yao nodded and suddenly smiled. This is quite exciting. It is much more fun than our anatomy class!
I am speechless. Is it because women who study medicine have been exposed to more things that ordinary people are afraid of, such as corpses, that they can only find excitement from these things now?
Lu Yao said that it is not like that. After all, everyone is different. Some people will be afraid for their whole life and it will never change. I used to be scared to death when I saw those internal organs and so on. Later, I may have seen them too many times, so it was just like that and a little boring. Now I suddenly found that there are things more terrifying than dead people. The fear I had before came back immediately. Although the process was very dangerous, after escaping, there is always a kind of secret joy that I can't suppress!
I rolled my eyes and said, "Master Lu, come on, you have to be able to escape alive every time to feel happy!"
Lu Yao frowned and said that this was also the case. It was better not to encounter it.
I struggled to get up from the grass and said to her, I'm fine now, you should go home soon. You've seen the situation of my friend , no good will come of it if you stay with me.
Lu Yao's face turned bitter, he hugged his knees with both hands, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "I don't want to go back now. I never realized that my father was that kind of person. Now I don't want to see him..."
I saw that she looked a little sad, but when it comes to her father, I have nothing to comfort her. I will probably remember that face for the rest of my life, and I can't forget it even if I want to. He is a complete enemy! But one thing is one thing, Lu Yao's father is his father, she is her, and she is still good to me. I can tell these apart, and I will not hold a grudge against her because of what her father did.
But it’s not a good idea for Lu Yao to follow me, and I don’t want the tragedy that happened to Lin Tian and Ding Ding to happen to her again.
I was thinking about how to persuade her to leave, when she suddenly looked up and asked me, "What are you going to do now? Your friend has been taken away from the hospital. Are you going home or something?"
When she asked me this, I realized that I actually didn't have any plans. Things back home should be over. Even if I continued to stay here, I wouldn't be able to find out anything by myself.
And I need to rush back to the city where I work. Firstly, I don't know how Lin Tian is doing. Judging from his father's words and actions, he will probably still pretend to be a kind father in front of him, and Lin Tian will most likely be kept in the dark. Although I haven't figured out whether to tell him these things, after all, compared to his father, I am an outsider. I don't know if Lin Tian will believe it if I tell him these things.
Even if he believed it, how he would face his father in the future would probably be another problem.
Last but not least, I need to tell Mrs. Jiu about Ding Ding's death. Thinking of this gives me a headache. Before we left, I promised her that I would never let Ding Ding get into trouble, but I didn't expect that things would be completely different from what we expected. Now I can't even find Ding Ding's body, and I don't know how to face Mrs. Jiu with my face.
Problems popped up one after another in my mind, making me feel overwhelmed. It was as if there were countless extremely difficult things waiting for me to deal with. Whenever I thought about it, I felt scared.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lu Yao reached out and pushed me. Then I came to my senses and said that I might find a place to stay for the night and leave this place tomorrow.
She asked me where I was going, and I gave her a brief account of where I was going, including that I had work to do.
She pondered for a long time and said, "You came back all the way just to die."
I shrugged helplessly, then stood up, patted my butt, and said, "Okay, I'll find a place to stay now and leave early tomorrow morning."
I thought to myself that I definitely couldn't go back home. Although there was a man-faced tree there, which made it much safer for me, my uncle was still there. He even thought I was dead. I guess Xie Ning and the others knew about it too. Running back so rashly would feel like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. As for what I wanted to ask my uncle, I could only find an opportunity later.
I can't just run back home and let Xie Ning and his gang know that I'm still alive, and then find ways to cause trouble for me.
I remember there were a few good hotels nearby, they were clean and reasonably priced. Lu Yao followed and said he would go too, and after tonight, he would plan to go home tomorrow. He would think about it all night.
When I heard her say this, I didn't have any thoughts in my mind. After all, these things take time to accept.
But when we got to the hotel, I realized that even if I didn’t have any ideas, others would!
When the receptionist saw us, she smiled as if to say "you know what I mean" and insisted on recommending a very nice couple's suite to me and Lu Yao. Lu Yao and I were speechless and thought that we should not have wiped the blood off our faces before coming here. It would have saved us from having to go through so much trouble to book a room.
Later, Lu Yao became anxious and slammed the table, saying, "We want two rooms. You don't understand, right?"
The receptionist was frightened by her behavior. She was probably a newcomer. She was a bit talkative and had good intentions. Now she said "OK" with a feeling of grievance, and then she quickly opened a room for me and Lu Yao.
I rubbed my eyes awkwardly, thinking that sometimes a little violence is a good thing, just like I had to use violence to escape from the pregnant female ghost today.
My room and Lu Yao's were opposite each other, and we said goodnight to each other and then stopped communicating. I took a shower, found a few band-aids to put on the scrapes on my hands and feet, and lay down on the bed, feeling indescribably comfortable.
I dozed off for a while, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but when the sky was getting a little brighter, I seemed to hear some sounds, as if someone was moving a table and chair near me. I slowly opened my eyes, but the curtains in the room were closed and I couldn't see anything clearly.
But the voice became clearer and clearer. It started out as just a tiny bit, and then it became like it was thinking beside my bed.
It has almost become a habit for me. If I feel something is amiss, I immediately get nervous and reach out to turn on the light.
The lights came on so suddenly that I felt it was a bit dazzling, so I quickly blocked my eyes with my hands . It took me a few seconds to get used to it.
I turned around and saw that the positions of the tables, chairs and cabinets in my room had changed. The cabinet that was originally placed next to the window was moved to the side for some reason, and there was an extra stool in its place, lying on the ground.
I slowly got up from the bed, reached out and grabbed my clothes and put them on. I carefully went over to check, but as soon as I got out of bed, I didn't dare to move!
I saw a pair of feet exposed under the tightly drawn curtains!
The curtains were not floor-length, but only covered the window a little, revealing the wall below. But now there was a bulge in that area, as if someone was hiding behind it.
The pair of feet were hanging in the air, revealing a piece of black suit pants and leather shoes. It looked like a man.
I was curious, but reason prevailed and told me not to go over.
I could only quietly pack up my things and prepare to escape.
But when I got everything ready, suddenly a gust of wind blew in from the window and blew the curtains open.
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly turned around to see that there was a man hanging behind the curtain. I didn't know where the rope around his neck came from, but it seemed to be extending from the upstairs. His face was ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. He looked very scary.
I stayed there for a while, staring at him blankly. He looked as if he had fallen from the upstairs and hit the window of my room.
But then I thought something was wrong. The tilted chair on the floor must have been kicked over by him. I guess there was no place to hang the rope in the room, so he had to take the rope off from the upstairs window and then hang himself. There were even a lot of nail scratches on the wall, which led to this weird death.
But I can’t take care of so many things now, and I don’t know what this person looks like, whether he just died or died here before.
I could only hug all the things in my arms and turn around to run away.
But as soon as I moved my feet, I heard a hoarse voice coming from behind me. The voice sounded like someone was strangling my neck. It was intermittent and very scary.
I heard him shouting miserably, "Save me..."
My steps paused and I couldn't help but look back. I saw him stretching out his hands, trying hard to break free from the rope around his neck.
But I didn't dare to go forward, so I just had to leave. He seemed anxious, and his body twisted violently, just like a person struggling before death, his hands kept scratching the wall beside him, his nails scratched the wall, and then broke off.
I suddenly felt that he was a bit pitiful. It was as if you were already dead, but as a ghost, you still had to suffer the same torture as when you died. I turned around involuntarily and walked towards the man!
