Chapter 1
I bumped into a ghost with a friend who is now in the hospital.
It happened after my mother's funeral.
It was a busy one, and all the relatives had basically left. I made an appointment with a friend and went back to my hometown to pack up some things.
Because of my job, I now live alone in the city. And my hometown is several hundred kilometers away in another county, a year in addition to some holidays, rarely have time to go back.
This time, because I received the news of my mother's accidental death, I took a leave of absence and found a friend of a friend to accompany me back.
Mother's body was found by a neighbor, she was usually in poor health, but usually when contacted by phone, did not hear her talk about any disease or pain and so on.
When the neighbor found the body, my mother had been dead for three days. There were no friends or relatives around, so after they contacted me, they also called the police.
According to the forensic results, my mother died suddenly of a myocardial infarction, and after that, there was no news and nothing happened.
According to the custom in my hometown, after a funeral ceremony, there is nothing else to do.
I cried a lot on the day of the funeral, and I really regret that I didn't take too much time to accompany her. But now, everything is already too late.
My friend's name was Lin Tian, and he kept comforting me, saying things like I was sorry.
The day after the first seven days, I simply cleaned up the house, brought some common things, and then returned to the city with my friend.
From my hometown to the city where I work, the highway is not accessible, there is only one old road to take.
It was a highway on a plate, which we locals call the back of the mountain. The mountain road is twisted, almost can not go far is a curve, winding like a giant snake in the mountain twisted look.
Lin Tian drove, I sat in the passenger seat, because these two days is really too tired, almost a car fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sky has darkened, I looked out the window, the old forest on the mountain is dark, can not see anything clearly.
Not far away, through the headlights, I suddenly saw a person standing on the side of the road in front of me. Like unable to find a car trapped in the road, a pitiful look.
Lin Tian also saw, but I do not know why, he suddenly cursed, said today is really a ghost, walked this more than ten curves, has met seven or eight taxi people.
I thought in this kind of mountain road to stop the car is not a strange thing, it is possible that other people's car broke down, really can not wait, they go forward. When you go out, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties.
Perhaps my mother just died for the sake of the heart more or less guilty, can not help but Lin Tian said, or stop to look at it, perhaps others really encountered what trouble, as a good thing to accumulate virtue.
Lin Tian gave me a glance, but also do not want to be too much with me.
The car slowly slowed down and stopped at the side of the man.
I rolled down the window, because of the darkness, can not see the face of this person. I just asked him where he was going.
How did I know that the man stammered and just gestured with his hands. Lin Tian and I looked at each other, thinking that this is still a mute.
Lin Tian had no patience, and directly told the man that we were in a hurry, and if he wanted to hitch a ride, he should quickly come up, and wait until he had to get off the place and shout.
The man nodded repeatedly, mouth yi yi yi, open the door and sat on the back seat.
The car began to move forward again. I looked back and saw that this person's face is very white, but the eyes are very black, dressed in red and green earthy. Although I have also heard of many robberies in the name of hitchhiking, but I see that his body is thin and weak, not to mention the two of us, Lin Tian and I, if he really has bad intentions, we are not afraid.
The car has been forward, I because I just woke up, no longer sleepy. Only and Lin Tian have a sentence without a sentence chatting. Unconsciously, already out of the old road in the mountains. But also did not hear this mute shouting behind me.
After a while, Lin Tian suddenly asked me, said brother, do you feel a little cold ah.
I shrunk my neck, really a little shivering. Thinking about the weather in the south in nearly July, it shouldn't be like this.
I thought about it, and thought it was because I had been sitting in the car for too long, plus it was nighttime.
But after a short while, I even opened my mouth to speak out of the white mist, just want to say that this is not cold a little too much, who knows Lin Tian looked at the rearview mirror, suddenly shouted, said his mom sitting behind that is what!
I was startled by his shout, thought it was really good to meet the robbery, hastily turned his head to see.
This look, but almost back out of breath!
That hitchhiker's mute was gone! And on the back seat, inexplicably more a funeral paper man!
Red paper clothes, green paper pants, face snow white snow white, eyes of the place pasted with two black paper.
This big night to see this kind of thing for no reason, I immediately also panicked. Cold sweat on my body, to Lin Tian said, that mute people where!
Lin Tian also panicked, he wanted to step on the brakes to stop to see what happened, but I know that stepped on the halfway but did not have any use!
Lin Tian's face turned white. I guess I'm no better. I was anxious, behind me suddenly came wow a strange scream, scared me all over the place!
Two pale hands suddenly reached over from the backseat and grabbed me and Lin Tian's shoulders.
We looked backward in unison, only to see that the mute suddenly reappeared in the backseat and was probing and crawling towards us!
The next thing I heard was a shriek from Lin Tian! His hand slipped, and the car boomed into the guardrail on the side of the road, and I was so dizzy that I didn't know anything ……
When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital. Listen to the nurse said, myself and Lin Tian's injuries are not too serious, recuperate a few days can be discharged.
Lin Tian's family picked him up early, I have been in the hospital for three days, from time to time the police came over to understand the situation, after all, in their eyes, we are still the culprits of the accident. But not a word was said about the paper man, and I knew that even if I did, they would only think I was crazy. So I bit the bullet and said that it was because of the brake failure, and slightly thankfully, Lin Tian wasn't stupid and said the same line as me.
Three days later, I was discharged from the hospital. The first thing done was to go look for Lin Tian.
I called him a few times, but it was always off, so I had no choice but to call Lin Tian's sister.
This little girl, since childhood, followed me and Lin Tian ass back running, from her mouth I know, Lin Tian was injured than I was a little heavier, his family in my coma when I had already done the transfer procedures for him.
Because they know Lin Tian is because my mother's death thing to accompany me back to my hometown, and then there is such a thing. When Lin Tian woke up, he kept repeating the events of that night, and his parents thought it was very unlucky and rushed to get him transferred to the hospital to try to keep him away from me.
The little girl roughly told me the situation on the phone, meaning that his parents thought that this matter was unlucky, and now they didn't want me and Lin Tian to meet, but we are all good materialistic young people in the twenty-first century, and we have never believed in these weird things, so she didn't take these things to heart.
She just told me the location of the hospital where Lin Tian was staying, and the time when his parents were usually not in the hospital. At the end, the little girl also asked, said Tan, my brother almost scared silly, I do not know if it is the cause of concussion, you will not really encounter ghosts right?
I heart thumped, silent half a day did not answer her.
She saw that I do not sound, surprised to say, will not be true!
I hastened to cover up, as if afraid of others to see themselves as monsters, said that which can ah, is the problem of the car.
Little girl oh a sound, did not follow up.
In fact, I also suspected that it would really be because my mother just passed away, I was in a bad mood, coupled with the darkness of the reason, so look at the wrong.
But on second thought, even if I was, Lin Tian shouldn't have a problem with it. So after considering it for a long time, I decided to go and see him for a while.
I arrived at the hospital in the afternoon, according to the little girl's words, at this time, Lin Tian's parents were not there.
Looking at the ward number, it was 603.
I got on the elevator and went all the way straight over.
As far as the ward, I whispered his name.
Lin Tian saw me, almost cried.
I thought I didn't have the ability to scare him to tears, busy asking what's wrong?
He pulled my hand, making me afraid that the people next to me misunderstood.
Lin Tian said, brother can finally see you, I thought you were dead! Ask anyone who also did not tell me about you.
Hearing this, I can't help but feel a little sad, as if I am the only one left in this world. But I understand what Lin Tian's parents mean, in their eyes, or I am now synonymous with unknown. The older generation is more or less superstitious, if Lin Tian were my son, I would definitely not let him continue to have contact with this broomstick that caused him to be hospitalized.
I was about to open my mouth to comfort a few words, Lin Tian holding my hand suddenly tightened, lowered his voice and said, you also saw it! You are hitting a ghost, right?
When asked like this, I instead didn't know how to speak. Although I think I did not see wrong, but I grew up learning atheistic things, my heart is really not bottom.
Just as I was hesitating, an old man suddenly walked into the ward.
Lin Tian's ward was the kind where two people were in a room. The old man looked at the bed next to him and then looked at us and said, "Young man, you're in the wrong ward, aren't you? This is my bed.
I froze and looked at him for half a day, the old man looked a bit weak and haggard, like he had been sick for a long time.
Lin Tian had not yet returned to his senses, so I interjected and said, moncler, this brother of mine has been living here for a few days, that's right. You think about which room you are staying in.
Who knew that this old man would not relent and insisted that he was the bed.
I got bored and stood up, pointing to the case card at the end of the bed, and said, "Look, sir, it's clearly written on whose bed it is.
The old man took a look and said yes, this is my bed!
He said this, I was dumbfounded, busy toward the medical record card to see.
Only see the name column above, wrote three words: Chen Dongsheng!
The old man pointed to the name above and said, "Look! I'm not wrong, this is my bed!
Not knowing what to say, I looked helplessly toward Lin Tian and saw that he was also looking at me with an incredulous expression on his face.
I know that he is a patient who has been living here for a few days, but he is not so stupid as to run into the wrong room. Busy to the old man, said, moncler, you first sit down for a while, I'll go ask the nurse, maybe they are wrong.
Fortunately, the old man is sensible, just coldly grunted, did not continue to make things difficult.
