Chapter 43.
Lu Yao then smiled and said if you had said that earlier it would have been over. Anyway, I am still familiarizing myself with the hospital's business, and I don't have much to do, so I can still help you with a small favor, but you have to keep your word. Today, these things have subverted my outlook on life for more than 20 years, if not clear, I will sooner or later die of depression!
I said don't worry, I promise to keep my word.
After saying that, I glanced towards the ward, Lin Tian was sleeping very well, breathing evenly. Only then did I feel relieved and left the hospital.
I took a taxi and went directly to the wasteland outside the city, almost to the location of my gravesite, before I let the driver stop the car. I groped around in this wasteland for a while as I remembered, and it was with great difficulty that I found my empty grave.
It was only now at this time that I had the time to take a good look at my surroundings. There was no tombstone in this graveyard, it was just an earthen mound. The coffin was empty, nothing but the dirt that slid down at once.
But the blood that flowed on the ground and in the coffin was still very obvious, and at first glance it was a bit oozing. As I took this look, I inevitably recalled the sight of Lin Tian being controlled to slash knives on his own body at that time. There was another pang of sadness in my heart.
The soil here was still a bit moist, and when my feet stepped on it, it would still leave footprints. I touched the bloodper in my bag and thought to myself that the body in the hospital, if it was picked up here unintentionally, then there would probably be footprints left behind.
However, I searched for a week, but only found mine and Lin Tian's prints. Other than that, there was nothing weird around.
I scratched my head, this searching instead made me even more puzzled. Could it be that this bloodper would still come out of the coffin on its own to find someone?
The other thing that puzzled me even more was that if there were only my and Lin Tian's footprints here, then who had released me from the coffin before? I thought about the possibility of Lin Tian, but even if he still had some strength before he passed out, he probably wasn't capable of opening the coffin lid. So the chances of it being him were very slim.
But there were no footprints around here, could it be that some ghost had a guilty conscience and released me from the coffin again?
I shook my head, this thought was even less plausible. Anyway now, other than Wang's type of ghosts and monsters, I haven't seen any other ones do a single good deed.
I lay down on the ground and scrutinized it, trying to find the slightest trace, when I suddenly heard a faint footstep from not too far away. It creaked on the fallen leaves.
I was busy getting up from the ground, pretending to be passing by, fearing that others would take it as a grave robber.
I took out a cigarette from my bag, pretended to light it, and lowered my gaze towards the source of that sound.
Behind those messy branches, there was indeed a figure slowly walking towards this side. When I shook my eyes, I inexplicably felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, but blocked behind those branches, I couldn't see it clearly.
I was puzzled in my heart and felt that I couldn't be mistaken, but in this county, there were already very few people who could give me this sense of familiarity. Compared to the sudden arrival of a stranger, the sudden appearance of an acquaintance here was even more puzzling to me!
I was busy dodging behind a bush, watching that person getting closer and closer, walking in a direction that was surprisingly towards the graveyard.
He was wearing a set of black clothes, wearing a hat, collar pulled high, covering half of his face, so that I could not see clearly looks.
Watching him approach the graveyard, tilted his head up and looked inside, his body suddenly shook, panicked and ran to the side of the coffin, that look, as if he was looking for something, but there was no trace of it.
I carefully picked up a stone from the ground and hid it behind my back. Tiptoeing out from behind the bushes. He carefully looked at the blood on the ground as if I had just done it, and didn't even notice that I had come behind him.
This man's behavior was too suspicious.
I tightened the rock I was holding behind my back, ready to give him first crack at the slightest misstep.
I swallowed a mouthful of spit and opened my mouth to drink, who are you!
He didn't want someone behind him and froze for a moment, slowly turning his face.
When we got a good look at each other, we both froze in unison! This mysterious man is actually Lin Tian's father!
The stone in my hand "snapped" fell to the ground, surprised and said, Uncle Lin, why are you here?
Lin Tian s father did not answer, he hesitated for a moment, before asking uncertainly, Tan Xi ah …… you are okay?
I shook my head and did not speak. The heart feels more and more strange.
Before looking at his appearance, he came here specifically, and alone, made so secretive, and I usually see his appearance completely different, obviously know what has happened here.
He was silent for a moment and asked me, Lin Tian Where …… is he? I came to take him home ……
I do not know how to answer him, to say Lin Tian s current situation, I guess he will go crazy. But on second thought and feel wrong, even if he is looking for Lin Tian, should also go to my old mansion to find, how can I run to this kind of place!
I pondered a bit and asked again, saying Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?
He pulled the collar of his coat, seemingly to hide his face, after a long time, before suddenly said, Tan Xi, we are all people who understand, I came here, of course, is to collect the corpse for Xiaotian ……
He said this very slowly, but in my ears, it was like a thunderbolt, making my mind go blank.
I froze and asked, Uncle Lin What do you mean by that ……
He suddenly drank and said Tan Xi! You do not have to pretend, everything you need I have provided, even his own son has given up his hand to you as a living sacrifice, and now just want to bring his body back, is this not okay!
I still can't believe what I heard, silent for half a day, in my heart to his words thought again and again, he said we, refers to some people, and let Lin Tian as a living sacrifice, naturally, is the thing that I was buried alive by my mother. But all of this was clearly pre-designed by my mom, though I don't know what the point of her doing all of this was.
However, what I cared most about in those words were the words "surrendered"! This means that Lin Tian has become like this, and even almost died, all these things, his father is all clear, just waiting for that weird funeral to pass, and then come to clean up Lin Tian's body, but he did not expect, although Lin Tian has lost a lot of blood, but still left a breath of air, did not die at all.
I was silent for a long time before I said, Uncle Lin, what you just said, it is not a joke ……
He stared at me angrily, that feeling, as if a hungry wolf, was eyeing its prey.
He roared, you think I don't know you hit the ghost thing, you think with Xiaotian her mom's kind of disgusting character towards you, will let Xiaotian and you go out for such a long time without caring about it! In the middle of all this, it's all because I'm stopping you, without me, how would Xiao Tian have the chance to come to this kind of place with you! Even this coffin, I paid for it!
A sudden anger rose in my heart, I looked straight into his eyes, and my voice grew colder and colder, I asked him, since you knew that this would happen if Lin Tian came, why didn't you stop it before! He is …… your son!
He suddenly roared and said You are not qualified to say this to me! If I don t care about Xiaotian, I wouldn t be in this kind of place now, to blame, I can only blame your mother for doing things too hard, my son is now lifeless, I and your Tan family s grudge is written off, and from now on, we don t owe each other any more! Tell me, where did you hide Xiao Tian's body!
I stared at him, this is the first time I saw Lin Tian's father angry look, but I have no fear in my heart, I don't know my family and Lin Tian's family in the end what grudges, in my impression, although both parents basically not much interaction, but Lin Tian and I grew up, so many years, in addition to often be Lin Tian's mother dislike, no one ever came to come out to stop it.
I suddenly feel myself and Lin Tian are very pathetic, we know almost nothing, as if others hold in the hands of the chess pieces, let you go where you have to go, wait until you have to give up your time, the person who executes the chess will never stay hand.
I quietly looked at him, said word by word, Lin Tian he, is not dead!
I saw him freeze for a moment, an incredulous expression appeared in his eyes, and it seemed like a bit of joy flashed by, but soon fell into inexplicable fear.
His hands shook, his body stumbled backwards, and he said incoherently, Impossible! Impossible! Xiao Tian, he can't be alive, Tan Xi, you lied to me!
I said you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital to see, Lin Tian is not awake now, but it is not life-threatening!
His father was very flustered, it seems that from the time he came to this place, his heart has already made a conclusion about Lin Tian's death, so he and I spoke, not without taboos, what things are out of the mouth. Because he believed that these things, Lin Tian can not hear.
But he didn't think that Lin Tian was still alive, and would even soon be able to return to his former self. I don't dare to think about how he will feel when he knows that he has been abandoned by his own father, maybe it's the same as when I was buried alive by my mom, despair, as well as disbelief!
Lin Tian's father was getting more and more flustered, he glanced at me hastily and said Tan Xi, what you just said, it's all a lie right, Xiao Tian must be dead.
He said, walked toward me, reaching out and pointing beyond the distant trees, said Look, look, my car is over there, I came to take him back ah!
I followed his finger down to see, the bushes are very deep, can not see anything.
I just turned back, suddenly felt a pain on my forehead, immediately saw Lin Tian his father did not know when I dropped the stone on the ground picked up, towards my head is a smash!
My brain buzzed with the thought, and then both eyes went black, directly fell backwards.
Lin Tian's father is still not willing, the whole person rushed to press on my body, reaching out towards my neck to pinch. I clawed at the ground with both hands, I don't know how many weeds I tore off. I just wanted to find something to smash him, but after touching it for half a day I couldn't touch anything, so I could only use both hands to forcefully break his hands.
I heard him screaming over and over again, his voice hysterical, you go to hell Tan Xi, you die, Xiao Tian will not know anything!
I was first sneak attacked by him, then I was strangled so much that I couldn't breathe, the voices I heard were already echoing, my eyes seemed to be getting more and more blurry, and I went back to the feeling of being trapped in a coffin that I was about to suffocate.
But at this time, Lin Tian's father suddenly let go of his hand, I heard him shouting in a panic, what he said can not distinguish, but I can feel that he was a bit panicked, and soon ran away.
I lay on the ground, holding my throat, and took a few breaths, my earlier discomfort was only slightly better, but my head still hurt like hell, like it was splitting open, I reached out and touched it, realizing that the place where I had been hit by the stone was broken, bleeding quite a bit, soaking my hair together.
I managed to sit up from the ground, and looked around blankly, Lin Tian his father was long gone.
