Chapter 44.
I looked around, this surrounding became dead silent again, besides the sound of the wind blowing the tree tops, there was no movement at all.
But I believe that his dad won't let me off that easily, from what he said before, there should be quite a few grudges between him and my mom that I don't understand. And from the way he sent Lin Tian out as a living sacrifice, he should have once done something that owed my family. And it was so bad that he would rather use Lin Tian's life to make up for it!
But from what he suddenly did to me, in the depths of his heart, he should still love Lin Tian, or at least he's not willing to let Lin Tian know that he single-handedly contributed to the matter of his near-death. It's just that this kind of love is a bit twisted, I don't know if he loves the concept of his son's blood relatives, or if he loves Lin Tian as a living, breathing human being.
I wiped the blood on my forehead with my shirt, and it took a long time for the bleeding to stop. Look at this dress, it is estimated that it is also scrapped, in this way, I estimate that I have to be the money to buy clothes to death.
I endured the pain in my head slowly stood up, looked down at the footprints around, Lin Tian father left in a great panic, even the footprints on the ground are messy. It also looked like he had stumbled quite a few times, as if he was running away from something.
I followed the footprints on the ground all the way, walked a long distance, only to see that on top of the main road, Lin Tian's dad had driven his car far away, the car speed was very fast, fleeing for his life.
But more let me care about, not his departure, but right in front of me, those footprints suddenly changed, inexplicably and marvelously more than two rows out, one deep and one shallow, following Lin Tian's father's footprints and go!
With a flash in my mind, I remembered that this footprint was almost identical to the one I saw in the attic of the old mansion! My heart went cold, remembering the dark shadow in the attic, that person, could he have been hiding around me all along, observing my every move!
My heart tightened and I felt that I couldn't let him get away! Since I had discovered his movements, if I missed it this time, I might not get a chance to know who this person was for the rest of my life.
Thinking nothing of it, I followed the footprints on the ground and chased after them at a fast pace!
These footprints were very new, and even water stains could be seen in some of the wetlands. I followed along all the way, without realizing it, I walked from the wasteland to the edge of the wasteland, I stood beside the roadside tree, looked ahead for a while, not far away is the main road, but those footprints to the roadside, at first there are some mud prints, but within a few steps it disappeared.
I was very lost in my heart, I felt that it was not easy to have a little clue of that black shadow, which knew that I still did not catch up.
I sighed and thought back to what happened earlier, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in my heart. Ding Ding's body was not in the old mansion, could it be that it was taken away by that figure? But if that was the case, then what was the use of him wanting Ding Ding's body?
I had one question after another in my mind, and my brain was all messed up at the end of my thoughts. I had to stop there.
It so happened that at this time, my cell phone rang, took out a look, under the hair is an unfamiliar number.
After I connected, Lu Yao's voice came from the other end of the phone. Her tone was very flat, telling me that Lin Tian had already woken up and asked me to go to the hospital earlier.
I let out an "oh" and heard her say that her father wanted to invite me to dinner this afternoon, probably to ask about the corpse. I didn't want to go, because I don't know much about the corpse, but then I thought that Lu Yao had helped us a lot, and now she was the one delaying the operation fee. I was too embarrassed to say no and finally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I waited on the side of the road for a while before a car finally passed by.
This time I learned my lesson, the clothes of the blood covered up, did not let the driver see, and he said the address of the hospital on the car. Shortly after the car started, I looked back, this place is very desolate, almost outside the city. Only occasionally could I see a car full of people passing this way.
I gently breathed a sigh of relief, the experience I just had always felt like a dream. I was just about to turn back when I suddenly saw a man come out of the bushes on the side of the road, he was dressed in rags, his clothes and pants were full of mud, and his hair was disheveled, and he walked out from the side of the road , and even glanced at me, and then turned his body and walked towards the wasteland again.
I look at the way he walked, obviously the right leg has a disability, limping forward looks very difficult.
I was shocked in my heart, to say that this is a coincidence that killed me do not believe. The shallow footprints are obviously left by this person! I was busy shouting at the driver to stop!
The driver froze for a moment and asked me not to go?
I did not have time to speak, but turned my head to look, the man suddenly disappeared again, as if the ghosts come and go without a trace, eighty percent I ran back and just like nothing to find. And this person is too mysterious, and a well-prepared look, I previously that kind of chase the strength of the weak down, for fear that again like Lin Tian his father like the way he got caught.
Therefore, I considered it and didn't get out of the car, anyway, I know what he looks like, as long as I see him in the future, my heart will naturally be on guard.
I told the driver that I was sorry, or continue to go to the hospital.
He gave me a strange look and didn't say much.
When I arrived at the hospital it was already in the afternoon, I went straight to Lin Tian's ward, this is already the second time I've seen him hospitalized I guess, but comparing it to the last time, it's obviously much more serious.
Lin Tian was lying on the hospital bed, with an IV drip hanging from his body, looking very weak, seeing me come in, he slightly turned his head to look at me, opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Lu Yao on the side.
Lu Yao said, why don't you listen to me, let you rest well, just don't talk too much nonsense.
I was busy conforming to the words That's a good thing to say, there's nothing for you to worry about right now. Only then did Lin Tian look away and not say much.
I actually look at him like this, the heart mixed into, are forced to suppress their desire to speak. I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I won't be able to resist wanting to tell his father's business. But Lin Tian's current situation can no longer take a blow, if his heart can't take this stimulus, if he wants to commit suicide, he can do it by just pulling out a needle.
Therefore not opening my mouth now, I have to be a little more relaxed in my heart.
But Lin Tian did not say anything, but Lu Yao called out again, asked Tan Xi you encountered what happened again, blood stains on the clothes.
I gave an embarrassed "ah" and said that I accidentally fell and bumped my head.
Lu Yao looked at me strangely, full of mistrust, but she also listen to smart, always did not say in front of Lin Tian, only said so big people, still stupid as what, I look at your head.
Before I could reply, Lu Yao came over and pressed my head down with both hands, checking the wound on my head. This posture makes me a little embarrassed, we are very close, even able to smell the fragrance of her body, not that girl's perfume flavor, but a little light pen and ink incense, to say a little more elegant should be called bookish. In short it wouldn't be offensive.
She looked at my head for a while, said, okay, although the wound is not neat, but not deep, and do not need stitches, and then an anti-inflammatory injection to prevent infection on the line.
I was busy oh oh a few times, this and she pulled away a little distance.
Lu Yao looked at the time, and said well, it's almost time now, you go with me to find my father.
I was more or less reluctant, but being glared at by Lu Yao, I couldn't open my mouth, so I just had to explain a few things to Lin Tian, and seeing that he was still emotionally stable, I then followed Lu Yao to leave.
On our way to the hotel, Lu Yao asked me what happened to your head.
I smiled and said save that ah, nothing.
She despised a look at me, said come on, I just stay with you for a while, what strange things have happened, that wound is not like a fall out.
I perfunctory a few sentences, busy to turn the topic away, asked how to deal with the corpse.
Lu Yao said in detail she is not clear, the general situation seems to be that the family saw the appearance of the body is also afraid, there are always a few superstitious family, her father and bluffed a few words, said to make a fuss on just as they make a fuss, the body of the hospital will not help to deal with the trouble will be sent directly back to their homes. The family probably do not know how to deal with, the attitude of a soft. Her father directly found someone to the morgue of the body a clean up, contacted the funeral parlor cremation.
I asked her to deal with it like that, and it's not good for the hospital's reputation to spread the word, right?
Lu Yao smiled and said that if it was really a medical accident, it would have a big impact for sure. However, this thing is too mysterious, no personal contact with the people even if they heard, at most as gossip to talk about it, no one will really believe, so the impact is almost negligible.
I laughed, this reasoning is also understood, after all, in the haunted story, the probability of the hospital is very high, heard more than as a story.
We walked for about twenty minutes to reach our destination, get off the car, I realized that this is not a hotel at all, but a very luxurious house. In my mind, I figured it was Lu Yao's home. Later, seeing her traveling lightly, I was also more certain.
We walked into the house, which was still comparable to Lin Tian's house, just decorated in a different style.
As soon as we entered, we saw a very large mirror facing the front door, and it felt as if two people who looked exactly the same were coming face to face.
When Lu Yao took a look at the mirror, she let out a soft "eek" and said, "How did you get this thing out?
In that case, this mirror should normally be put away. I don't know why it was suddenly lifted out.
I took a closer look and felt that this should be an antique item that didn't match the decor of Lu Yao's home at all. Her home was all very modern in style, and this mirror was red-framed and wooden, and it was so large that if it was placed in the piece of house I rented, it would probably be able to fill up an entire wall. The border of the mirror had delicate carvings and was worth a lot of money at first glance. The red paint was very vibrant, but I've been a little afraid of this red color lately, it felt as if it could drip blood at any moment.
I reached out and touched it, who knew that the surface of the mirror suddenly shook, as if a stone had suddenly been thrown into the calm water surface, and it suddenly rippled round and round.
