what the hell is

Chapter 73 Funeral Home

Not long after, Peng Gang arrived by taxi, and immediately asked me what happened just now.

I told the story of seeing Brother Peng.Peng Gang came to the Malatang stall, looked around, but found nothing.I walked over, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.He looked at me with bad eyes: "Old Liu, why do you think my dad is here? Are you reading it right?"

I scratched my head and said, "If you put it this way, I'm a little bit unsure. The figure is very similar to your father, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye."

I accompanied him through the night market several times and found nothing unusual.We walked and chatted, his family is not having a good time now.In Brother Peng's situation, the company is naturally unable to operate, and it has already been cashed out.His mother usually has a heavy teaching task, and women suffer from such a blow, and they age quickly. It is said that his mother's hair is now white, and she is soaked in oil. Otherwise, she will not be able to go to school if she is too old.

Peng Gang and I were chatting when his mother called and told him to go to the hospital immediately.It seems that things are more troublesome.Peng Gang bid farewell to me, and I told him that he would come to me if he needed help, and he would go home and take good care of his mother.

When I got home, I was exhausted, the key is my heart tired.Wang Chen and his little girlfriend went out to fool around again, the house was deserted, and I didn't have the mind to do anything else, so I took off my clothes and got into bed, leaned on the bedside and lit the lamp to read urban pornography.The more I looked, the more sleepy I became, yawning one after another, and my eyelids gradually became heavy.Just when I was in a daze, I vaguely saw a person standing on the floor of the bedroom.

I'm not sure if it's a human being, because all I saw was a pair of black leather shoes.I wanted to sit up and take a closer look, but I couldn't open my eyes, the eyelids seemed to be glued together.It's an indescribable feeling, I'm wide awake, I understand what's going on, and my mind is functioning normally.But the body is in a state of deep sleep, not listening to instructions.

At this moment, I vaguely felt a person lying on top of me.It seems to be a woman, it feels like she just crawled out of a muddy pond, her whole body is damp, not dirty.

She lay on me, and she seemed to be able to smell a rotten breath.She was very fat, like a pig, but I knew in my heart that she was swollen with water and should not be alive.

I struggled desperately to sit up, but I couldn't exert any force on my body, as if I was firmly bound by something.At this time, the weirdest thing happened. The fat woman stretched out a hand, which actually passed through my body, as if grabbing something, and then pulled it out little by little.

I felt that there seemed to be another self in my body, which was about to tear apart from my body and fly away.At the same time, I can feel that I am the one who wants to leave, watching the body lying on the bed, and wanting to separate from it.This feeling is really indescribable, so weird that I can't say it, I am completely split into two independent selves, and I can perceive two perspectives at the same time.

Subconsciously, I faintly feel that this phenomenon is not a good thing, and it is extremely dangerous.At this moment, the sound of the door lock outside was heard, and the lights in the hall were turned on, followed by Wang Chen's yelling: "***, Lao Liu, you are back."

The feeling of being separated disappeared instantly, and I was able to move again.He quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of the bedroom without his slippers on.Wang Chen saw me running out naked, his mouth was wide open, and he quickly covered his girlfriend's eyes with his hands: "Old Liu, you're a fucking hooligan again."

I hugged him, my face pale: "Damn, I just met a ghost!"

After that building exploration, Wang Chen became much more timid. When he heard that there was a ghost, he reacted more strongly than women: "What the hell?! There is a ghost? Fuck, you didn't invite it, did you?"

I recounted my experience just now, and my little girlfriend Ding Ling interjected, "Old Liu, that's not a ghost, it's a nightmare."

"What is a nightmare?" Wang Chen asked.

Ding Ling said: "You don't know this, nightmares are also called ghosts pressing the bed, anyway, they are not real ghosts."

I sat on the sofa trembling, thinking about the scene just now, my heart was jumping with fear.

When Wang Chen heard that it wasn't a ghost, his courage recovered, and he said with a smile, "This kid must have been masturbating too much recently, and his yang energy is too weak."

I ignored him, because I knew in my heart that it was definitely not some ghost pressing the bed just now.I know the pair of black leather shoes on the ground. They were the shoes he wore when he interviewed Brother Peng for the first time.

Thinking of Brother Peng's soul splitting needle, I got goosebumps all over my body.The scene of being dragged by the fat woman just now is too similar to the legendary "soul flying away", she is trying to pull my soul out of my body!

After thinking about it, I still called Peng Gang.

Peng Gang didn't seem to realize that I could call, and his tone seemed a little flustered.I asked him what clues there were to his dad's disappearance.Peng Gang talked about the hospital's investigation.The last time Brother Peng appeared on the hospital surveillance video was at [-]:[-] this afternoon.He walked through the corridor alone, entered the men's room, and never came out.

After careful investigation, no one else was in the toilet at that time, that is to say, there were no witnesses.

Could it be that Brother Peng jumped out of the toilet window and ran away?That's even more impossible.This toilet is located on the fifth floor of the inpatient department. At the beginning of the establishment of the hospital, there was a lack of experience. There were incidents of patients climbing out of the toilet window and falling to their deaths.With the lessons learned from the past, the courtyard conveniently welded a very strong iron fence on the outside of the window. Let alone using bare hands, even if you saw it with a saw blade, within three or four hours, you couldn't saw it open at all.

Brother Peng, like David Copperfield, mysteriously disappeared in the Chamber of Secrets.

This incident was so unbelievable that it was beyond the capacity of the hospital, so we had to call the police.The police are now investigating.When I called, Peng Gang and his mother were sorting out the things Brother Peng had left in the hospital.

According to Peng Gang, what his father left the most is paintings.Most of those paintings couldn't be seen what they painted, like graffiti, just one after another, large and small irregular circles, but they found a different and very unique painting in this pile of paintings.

Speaking of this painting, Peng Gang was very flustered with each other, and it took a long time before he said: "Old Liu, my mother didn't want me to tell, but I don't think it's the case if I don't tell you, so I still need to tell you. My father left The painting below is about you!"

I was terrified and completely speechless.

"Hello, hello" on the phone.I took a long breath, only to realize that I was still sitting naked in the hall, and Wang Chen and his girlfriend had already gone back to the bedroom and turned upside down.I shivered and went back to my room, closed the door, put on a blanket, and squatted on the ground to smoke.

"Old Liu, old Liu..." Peng Gang shouted.

"I'm here, what painting is that?" I asked.

Peng Gang hesitated: "You can see for yourself what it looks like. Do you have time tomorrow? Why don't you come to my house? I'll wait for you. Oh, yes," he paused and said, "You better think a little Prepare."

Damn it, this kid was half-talking and hung up the phone. I feel like a cat scratching my heart.After smoking for a while, my mind was in a state of confusion, and I couldn't sit or lie down, so I could only walk around in circles.Brother Peng, you said that we have no grievances and no enmity, and I didn't let you wear a cuckold, so why do you keep staring at me.Li Yang was stunned, Tongsuo was fat, and Wang Chen was intimidated, it's not good for you to find someone, you must come to me.The three of them, you can play whatever you want.

This period of time is really debilitating, is it really like what is said in a ghost story?You can't always go to unclean places, otherwise you will be contaminated with unclean things, and your life will be ruined.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, I snuffed them out, and called the manager to ask for leave.The manager may be accompanying the guests outside, the voice on the phone is noisy, and a broken gong can be vaguely heard singing.He was drunk and asked me what was the matter, and I said I would ask for leave tomorrow.The manager got angry at that time: "Xiao Liu, don't you want to do it? You always ask for leave when you have nothing to do. How can our company develop and grow like you?"

I accompanied Carefully and spoke soft words.He said: "Let me tell you, Xiao Liu, you didn't pass the assessment period, and the human resources department wanted to expel you, but I tried my best to keep you. Can you show some face?" I explained that something was really wrong. .The manager said: "Tomorrow the boss of the headquarters will come to us for inspection, you should do it yourself."

After hanging up the phone, I cursed inwardly, "Boss, I don't want to piss on your pot at all."Now that life is at stake, solving your own problems is the right way.

Lying on the bed for a while, I really didn't dare to sleep, and when I closed my eyes, I remembered the wet fat woman just now.I had no choice but to come to the living room, put on a blanket, suppress my sleepiness, and read electronic novels on my mobile phone.

I don't know when I fell asleep on the sofa, and was awakened by the phone ringing the next day.I squinted my eyes to answer the phone, Peng Gang hurriedly said on the phone: "Old Liu, you go to the city funeral home right now."

My mind froze, I turned over and sat up, and asked what was going on.

Peng Gang said: "The police called just now, saying that there is a strange person who has been wandering around the morgue of the municipal funeral home recently, and he looks very similar to my father."

The funeral home is in the outskirts of the city, very far from where I live, basically across both ends of the city.In order to hurry up, I took a taxi, calculated the distance and touched my wallet, it was really painful.It's not that I'm stingy. I work hard alone in a big city, and my salary is barely enough to make ends meet. I have to plan carefully for everything I do.

Halfway through the journey, Peng Gang kept calling and texting him, asking where he was.I told him to stay calm and be there in a while.Little did I know that I was also burning with anxiety.

I couldn't help thinking about it, what did Brother Peng do at the funeral home alone?

The funeral parlor is located in the wilderness, outside the urban area, there are only cars passing by on the entire avenue, and there are basically no pedestrians.In broad daylight, it all looks so desolate.When you see a wreath shop appearing on the side of the road, you know the funeral home has arrived.

Today I don't know which bereaved households went to the funeral. There were more than a hundred people, crying and crying, and the filial sons and grandsons wore filial piety belts, and walked in gloomy.I got out of the taxi and called Peng Gang, who told me he was waiting in the lobby and told me to go there quickly.

There is still a long way from the entrance of the funeral home to the hall.The funeral parlor is located in a remote place, backed by a mountain. It is winter, and the mountains are full of dead leaves, and the cold is chilling.Today, for some reason, the wind was extremely strong, it was hard and cold, and when I walked into the hall, my nose almost froze off.

The hall was overcrowded, all of them came to express condolences and attend the memorial service. The farewell halls on the upper and lower floors were all full. It looked like huge wreaths, and there were endless crying and wailing.

I rubbed my frozen ears, saw Peng Gang waving, and hurried over.There were several people with him, one was a middle-aged man in a blue police uniform, with a peaceful expression, which made people feel at ease.The other is a middle-aged woman, wearing a red padded jacket, her hair is half white, tied in a bun at the back, her face is withered and yellow, she looks like a walking dead.I was thinking, this must be Peng Gang's mother, Brother Peng's wife.

I quickly reached out and shook hands with his mother: "Auntie, I'm here."

Peng Gang hurriedly said: "Mom, Uncle Chen, this is my good friend Liu Yang. He came here to help."

The middle-aged policeman nodded at me, and I quickly extended my hand, "Hello, Uncle Chen." He shook my hand.

Officer Chen said: "Let's go, the curator is just here, so I can understand the situation." We went out from the back door of the lobby and entered the office building on the north side.In the office on the second floor, I met the funeral director.

The curator was quite familiar with this police officer, and they shook hands and poured tea.Officer Chen said: "Curator Wang, call the witnesses who saw the strange thing, let's find out the situation."

Curator Wang made a phone call, and within a short time, there was a knock on the door, and a dirty old man in a black uniform entered.Curator Wang said: "Master Lao Tian is an employee of our funeral home, and he is responsible for burning corpses. Let him talk about it."

Officer Chen handed Lao Tian a cigarette: "Master, tell me what's going on."

Old Tiantou put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it, then dragged a chair and sat down, crossing his legs: "Comrade policeman, this is Yuxi, right? This cigarette is good. It's too mysterious, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

Curator Wang said: "Old Tian, ​​the police still have business to do, so stop talking nonsense and say what you have to say."
