Lin Huai originally planned to stay in the house until the doctor came. However, it didn't take long before the voice of the good old man came from the yard.
"The van is out of gas, what's going on, I just filled up the gas before leaving yesterday..." He seemed to be arguing for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
"Let's walk over there." The fitness man said.
Had to act like this. The fitness guy, the good guy, and the girl in the red skirt are responsible for going to the town to find a doctor, while the rest stay at home to take care of the girl in the white skirt, or do some house cleaning. Lin Huai thought for a while, put on the dv player and said, "I'll go with you."
"No, I'm ashamed to trouble you..." the girl in the red dress refused.
"It's okay, anyway, I have to clean up if I stay here." Lin Huai said.
After he said these words, the voice of [personal setting value 1] actually came from the void. Obviously, the game approves of his behavior of following the girl in the red skirt to find a doctor for the girl in the white skirt.
Lin Huai's attitude was firm, and the girl in the red skirt accepted it with emotion. It's just that the fitness man didn't give Lin Huai a good look—obviously, after a night of sleep, he recalled it, and once again despised Lin Huai's behavior with the attitude of a straight man who has been offended.
Lin Huai just pretended not to see it.
Chu Tianshu didn't go out with Lin Huai - of course, it wasn't because he was better at housework. It was because he wanted to stay and observe the actions of the remaining people.
The comatose girl in the white skirt, the girl in the yellow skirt who looks like a reliable materialist, the girl in the blue skirt who always hides behind the girl in the yellow skirt but behaves suspiciously, and the girl in the blue skirt who seems to be innocently involved in this incident, only A fat man who knows how to eat.
Yes, Lin Huai did not believe that this supernatural event was only caused by the pen fairy. He always felt that this adventure team was also a little weird.
In short, he suspected that there was an insider in this team.
It was still raining in the sky, Lin Huai and the other three held an umbrella and walked on the trail in Ruyue Town.
There are low houses on both sides of the lane. As the good old man said, Kisaragi Town is a desolate, marginalized town by the industrialized big city. There was no one in the small town. Lin Huai walked all the way, and only when he passed by the door of a house, he heard the old man coughing from the yard.
After turning this path and walking a few more, you will reach the hospital in the town. The scale of the hospital is extremely small, almost the size of a large school hospital, and the door is closed, so no light can be seen inside.
"Ah... Let me see, today is Saturday. Specialists don't go to work." The good old man thought for a while, then disappointed, "But there should be a doctor on duty..."
He pressed his palm to the door and looked inside.
The door made a "squeak".
"The door is open, there should be someone inside..." Looking at the dark hall and corridor inside, the good old man unconsciously swallowed nervously.
Daylight shone in through the door he pushed open, and dust floated in the corridor. The old man said: "You... will you go in with me?"
"I'll go in with you." The girl in the red dress swallowed and said proactively. Then, she handed the umbrella to the fitness man: "You and Jun Xiaolin are waiting for us outside."
"The duty room should be in the depths of the corridor on the first floor... Let's go there now..."
The two walked into the hospital, and their figures gradually disappeared.
Lin Huai stood outside the door, playing with the dv player in his hand boredly. The fitness man was beside him, fidgeting. He poked his head into the hospital from time to time, but what he saw was only the dark corridor.
After a long time, he couldn't help but said to Lin Huai: "Hello..."
"Huh?" Lin Huai raised his head after a while.
The fitness man was speechless for a while, and said: "They have been in for a long time..."
"It's been a long time, almost an hour." Lin Huai looked at her mobile phone and shrugged.
"Yeah, it's been almost an hour, why haven't they come out yet?" The fitness man asked anxiously, "Why don't we go in and have a look? What if something happens, like..."
He "for example" for a long while, but dare not say the next few words. After a long time, he heard a chuckle instead.
The chuckle obviously came from the photographer. The photographer raised his head, under the thick eyelashes, his dark eyes flashed: "Like what? For example... have you met a ghost?"
There was a strong wind and rain outside the hospital, and the wind blew past the broken carport next to it, making a whining sound like a haunted day. The fitness man turned pale and said, "You, keep your voice down!"
But the black-haired photographer just shrugged: "Encountering a ghost is indeed very possible. But...you don't have to worry about it."
"why?"
After the fitness man finished speaking, he saw the black-haired photographer smiling slowly.
"Because..." He grinned, "Now is not the time for them to die."
"you!!"
Just as the fitness man was about to get angry, he was startled by the implication in that man's words.
time to die...
The old man is seven days, the girl in the red skirt is nine days, and he himself...
It is three days.
"Even if you encounter ghosts now, at most you will be scared by them." Lin Huai said with a malicious smile, "Do you still want to go in now? If you still want to go in, I don't mind being with you Go in and have a look."
The fitness man's lips twitched, and he finally stopped talking.
Lin Huai shrugged, and he took back his eyes from looking at the upstairs window. In the window on the second floor behind the fitness man, the girl in the red skirt was standing there, her face distorted, staring at them, her face pale.
However, Lin Huai had no intention of going up to the rescue at all.
Not to mention that the duty room is on the first floor, but the "girl in the red dress" is located on the second floor... who can guarantee that the one standing there is the real "girl in the red dress"
Facing this dark hospital, Lin Huai had no intention of going in and exploring at all. For some reason, he vaguely felt that the game's reward for his [personal value 1] was not aimed at his willingness to go out and find a doctor for the girl in the white skirt.
It's a reward for his arrival at this hospital where everything is full of weirdness.
—The game is expecting him to enter this hospital.
Lin Huai's reaction to this was: Bah, I won't go.
He never believed in the benefits of following the game.
When he squinted again to look at the window on the second floor, the girl in the red dress who was still there had disappeared.
Before she left, Lin Huai saw her wrist. On her wrist, a playing card is tied with a red string.
Lin Huai remembered that the corpses placed in the mortuary would also have cards with their names on them tied with red strings around their wrists.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the rain didn't stop. The fitness man gradually became anxious. He was walking up and down on the sheltered platform, muttering something. He wanted to rush to the hospital several times, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Finally, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance.
The fitness man turned his head in surprise, and Lin Huai, who was fiddling with the camera, also raised the lens. In the camera, a black private car is driving towards them. A girl in a red dress was sitting on the co-pilot of the private car. She waved to the two of them with empty wrists.
"We didn't find the doctor on duty, but we found the usual internist at someone's house nearby! The internist agreed to go there with us!" the girl in the red skirt said loudly, "It took a little time, let's go by car together!"
The fitness man was overjoyed, and Lin Huai raised his eyes slowly.
There was indeed a middle-aged man sitting on the co-pilot, perhaps because of chronic pharyngitis, he had been coughing.
Lin Huai sat in the back seat with the fitness man, besides them, there was also a good old man in the back seat. The good old man described to them the process of finding a doctor today. In the front row, the girl in the red dress is chatting with the doctor.
After thanking the doctor for his visit, the girl in the red skirt looked at the water on the wiper and sighed, "It's been raining in Ruyue Town all day long."
"It's the rainy season recently." The doctor's voice is full of air, but with a strong nasal tone, "so during this period of rainy days, every household will hang sunny dolls."
"Is it used to pray for a clear sky?"
"Yeah." The doctor said, "Also, your umbrella should be placed outside the door, don't bring it inside."
"Why?" the girl in the red skirt asked curiously.
"Because..." the doctor laughed a few times, and suddenly said in a low voice, "There will be unclean things hiding in the umbrella, and they will be brought in along the umbrella!"
At that moment, Lin Huai saw in the rearview mirror a vicious expression that was different from the doctor's voice and temperament.
The vehicle stopped in front of Murakami's house. When the doctor saw the house's number plate, he gave a "huh". He was still looking at the door plate and frowning, but the girl in the red dress couldn't wait any longer, and stood at the entrance, eagerly calling him in.
Several people threw their umbrellas in the umbrella tube outside the door and entered the room. Before entering the room, Lin Huai took a look at the cherry tree next to it—the cherry tree seemed to become more alluring and charming after being watered by the rain all day.
The original dusty hallway has been cleaned, and even the living room is spotless. And in the kitchen near the entrance, something was being stewed, and there was a "gurgling" sound of boiling water.
Hearing someone coming outside, it was actually Chu Tianshu who came out to greet him.
"Where are the others?" The girl in the red skirt asked him poking around.
"Miss Huang is guarding Miss Bai, and Miss Lan and Fatty are cleaning upstairs." Chu Tianshu said.
The girl in the red skirt nodded and hurriedly led the doctor in, followed by the good old man. Chu Tianshu rubbed Lin Huai's head, and said, "Did something go wrong on the road?"
"No." Lin Huai replied.
He felt that the expression of the fitness man behind him became more and more stunned. For some reason, Lin Huai suddenly had an extra idea.
He stood on tiptoe, held Chu Tianshu's face, and looked at him. After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief to Chu Tianshu, and said with a smile: "I have never looked at you so seriously before, so compared to your little boyfriend, you are not bad in appearance..."
He heard the goosebumps of the fitness man falling all over the ground behind him.
Lin Huai: Hee hee.
"Oh?" Chu Tianshu said, taking his hands off his face, "You have a good eye."
Lin Huai's smile deepened.
The fitness man is already on the verge of running quickly. Lin Huai went to the kitchen next to the entrance, and said to Chu Tianshu, "You not only cleaned the room this afternoon, but also cooked?"
"Cleaning is cleaning, cooking?" Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment, "Did Miss Huang and the others do it?"
At that moment, Chu Tianshu's ignorance made Lin Huai's heart tighten.
He looked again at the kitchen where the door was ajar, and the pot on the stove inside was still making the sound of boiling water.
What is boiled in this pot
Lin Huai pushed open the kitchen door.
The fitness man behind him turned pale. Before he could make a sound, Lin Huai turned around and gave him a "shh".
"Hush." He whispered.
The fitness man nodded frantically. He knew that the last thing he could do at this time was to scream to attract the attention of the ghost hiding inside.
Then he heard Lin Huai continue: "Don't scare the ghost away."
The fitness man didn't slow down for a while.
Then…
?
He watched Lin Huai walk in and opened the pot.
The steaming heat from the pot hit Lin Huai. Lin Huai squinted and looked into the pot.
Finally, he saw what was inside.
Overturned and steaming in boiling water...
It's a few dead black branches! !
