"We both thought she had been raped, something in the hotel must have been drugged, and someone from the hotel must have done this, so we called the hotel manager and asked him to give an explanation, otherwise we would call the police. They didn't admit it at first and thought we were out of our minds and used this method to extort money. I wanted to extort money, but I didn't lie. Something was really wrong that night. You know? I'm going to call the police and call the newspaper. The two of us are not afraid of anyone coming to investigate. It doesn't matter if it makes a big fuss. We are not locals. Who will know about this after we return to our hometown? "
"Well, did you call the police after that?"
"No, their manager gave up when he heard that we were going to make trouble. He paid tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, gave us a bunch of souvenirs and other things, and helped us book some tickets for Minqing City attractions... Hey, That’s pretty much it. Let’s forget it.”
"Did you buy the morning-after pill?"
"Oh, the manager bought this for us. People at that time didn't understand this. The manager drank foreign ink and wanted to have sex, so he had people buy all the contraceptive pills and give them to us. I guess he was afraid that he would die. In a few years we would come here with the child in our arms and cause trouble for him.”
"How many more days did you stay in Minqing City?"
"Well, I stayed for two more days. I was supposed to stay for another half month. If someone pays, I can play a little longer. But Yinan couldn't sleep well and changed rooms. She also had nightmares every night, saying that she heard children Laughter. I didn’t take it seriously, thinking that the hotel was not well soundproofed and someone was making noise next door. She was not in the mood to play, so we went back to her hometown. Taking the train, there were not many people on the train, and the carriage aisles were empty. There were two The child was running back and forth there. Yinan suddenly got angry. I didn't see her getting so angry. She yelled at the two children, which made them cry and even wanted to fight. I hugged her, No matter what I said, it was useless. I just listened to her scolding the two children and quarreling with the parents of the children. Finally, the flight attendants came and changed our seats. After she changed seats, she calmed down, did not speak, and did not move. , I looked so gross, so I ran to smoke, and when I came back after smoking two cigarettes, she was still the same as before. That train... was really long, and it felt like it took a long time to get to the station. "
"Did she behave in any abnormal way after returning to her hometown?"
"There are too many abnormal behaviors! She still has nightmares about a child laughing next to her and calling her mother. There are no children in our house, so there is no way there is such a sound! I took her to see a doctor , I prescribed sleeping pills and she was able to fall asleep, but she was working during the day... One time when I was working during the day, I received a call from her work saying that she had beaten someone. When I went there, I found out that she had recently become stupid in the middle of work. While standing, she sometimes asked her colleagues if they heard the child's voice. This time, one of her colleagues brought the child to the work. She chased him and wanted to beat her, and she got into a fight with her colleague. I... I started from that time, I feel that something is very wrong, not the wrong thing like on New Year's Day, but another kind of wrong. Yi Nan must have hit the evil spirit."
"This kind of behavior is really like encountering a supernatural event."
"Yeah, that's what I think! It's obvious where the thing happened, right? It's the hotel's problem! Something must have happened on New Year's Day! After my mother heard about it, she went to ask Yi Nan for help from a famous hotel in our hometown. A goddess, the kind who performs great dances. I didn’t believe in these things originally, but like Yi Nan, a dead horse has to be treated by a living horse. I don’t feel comfortable looking at that goddess, she is so demonic, like Journey to the West The old witch in the house. Yi Nan had no reaction when he saw her. When people started jumping, she suddenly covered her ears and screamed, telling her to shut up. It made a big noise, and our neighbors all came to see... Sigh... "
"What did the goddess say?"
"She said she was pregnant with a ghost. She got pregnant after sleeping with a ghost, and the little ghost in her belly was making trouble."
"Did she take care of that imp?"
“…”
"Mr. Zhou?"
"She said that day, she said that this kid and Yi Nan were connected. To avoid hurting Yi Nan and deal with the kid, we had to make some preparations. I didn't know what she was going to prepare. I thought she was just raising the price. But Yi Nan Like that... My mother and I didn't care how much she paid, but she didn't know if she was just pretending or if she really wanted to prepare something. She left that day and made an appointment to come back the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow... The day after tomorrow, she didn't come, so my mother went to her We searched for her at home, but there was no one knocking on the door, so there was nothing we could do. The goddess escaped, so we had to think of other solutions."
"Well, you haven't looked for that goddess again?"
"No. Not at that time. My mother later heard that she died that year, and her body stinked when it was found. I don't know the exact time of death, but I think... I guess she took over our business. …”
"Can I ask the name of that goddess?"
"I don't know much about this, and my mother doesn't know either, so people just call her Zhao Laoxian."
"Where's your address?"
"In the old district of Beicheng, get off at the terminus of Route 739 and walk forward to that neighborhood. If you ask Zhao Laoxian over there, he will know it."
"Okay. Get on with your wife's business."
"After Yi Nan... After that, she was in a daze. She didn't respond when I talked to her, and she stopped talking about children's laughter. My mother and I looked for that kind of expert again, but couldn't find one for a while. Then, at the end of February, maybe , at the end of February, I gave her a bath and found that her belly was bulging. After she became abnormal, my mother and I had been taking care of her. I asked my mother and she said that it didn’t happen yesterday. We sat down If you can't live anymore and can't find any expert, then go to the hospital for an abortion. Yi Nan didn't even respond. I pulled her, and she followed me and took a car to the hospital. That car... It was obviously in the afternoon, not during rush hour. But the car was extremely crowded, with too many people. My mother and I pulled Yi Nan's car at first, but for some reason, when we were about to get out of the car, we took a look and found that Yi Nan was missing. We were looking for him inside the car. For a long time, the people in the car thought we were crazy, and the driver even scolded us. I had no choice but to tell people that my wife was not in her right mind... Everyone in the car helped to look for us, and finally the little girl told us that she saw Yi Nan get out of the car first. Well, we got out of the car and asked people on the road again, but before we could find anyone, we heard someone nearby shouting to jump off the building."
"Is it your wife?"
"I didn't know at first. The person who yelled raised his head and pointed to the roof of a department store next to him. That building was less than ten stories tall, and someone standing on it could barely see clearly. It wasn't me who saw it clearly first; Mom saw it and called me. She was so anxious that she kept patting me and pulling me. I didn’t know what to do, so I shouted Yi Nan’s name to the people above. When the people around heard it, they all knew it was someone I knew, and they shouted Give me some advice. But it only took a moment... From someone shouting to jump off the building, to Yi Nan jumping down, just a moment, she didn't hesitate for long, and jumped down from the top... My mother and I were both weak, and we supported each other. . People nearby were shouting and shouting, and my ears were buzzing. Those people dispersed, and I saw Yi Nan. She... She was smiling, smiling with relief. I later thought, she was It's a good thing to die..."
"Where is the fetus in her belly?"
"ah… "
"Mr. Zhou?"
"That ghost fetus... hiss... that ghost fetus..."
