Chapter 10 Chapter 9 Everyone is Mortal

When Gao Wei heard the knock on the door, he held his breath and did not answer.Zhou Mei and Tan Xiaoying had just left for a while, why did someone knock on the door?Is it Zhang Jun?No, she just finished talking with him on the phone, and he won't come over on night shift.It was past ten o'clock at night, and no one would come to her. "Ba Ba Ba", the knock on the door stopped for a while and then rang again.Gao Wei finally couldn't help standing up, raised his voice and asked, "Who is it?" "It's me, Land. Didn't you fix the light switch?"

Gao Wei let out a sigh of relief, she had an appointment on land when she came back from get off work, and now she almost forgot about it. The light switch in the study had been broken for several days, which made her even more afraid to enter the study at night.Ever since she told Zhang Jun that there was a ghost in the study, Zhang Jun was always a little nervous every time he came here.She decided to fix the light switch, and then clean the study thoroughly, so that both herself and Zhang Jun could eliminate the shadow.Originally, she didn't see the ghost in the study, but it was inconvenient for her to tell Zhang Jun the truth.She now believes that it was Zheng Chuan's hallucination. He was in a trance when he lived here that time, and after getting up in the middle of the night, his eyes were inevitably dazzled.

After Lu entered the house, he repaired the light switch on the wall of the study. "Your friends are gone?" Lu asked while repairing. Gao Wei said yes, if I hadn't met her, my friend might have been fooled into buying the house next door.What's wrong with Lulu saying that?Gao Wei said, needless to say, it would be unlucky to live in the house of a dead person. "Your view of the dead is wrong." Lu Lu said, "Everyone is mortal, there is nothing to be afraid of. If I had money, I would buy the house next door." "Why are you buying a house?" Gao Wei asked, "You want to start a family, don't you?"

Lu Lu smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I have a girlfriend, 28 years old, older than me, what do you think?" Gao Wei was really surprised that Lu Lu had a girlfriend.From seeing him burn a cat alive to when he wanted to chop off his own fingers, Gao Wei knew very well that this was a perverted boy.As Zhou Mei analyzed, he might also be a member of the "SZ" suicide organization. How could a woman like this kind of person like him? Naturally, Gao Wei didn't want to hit him face to face, so he said it's good to have a girlfriend, and it doesn't matter if he's older, when will he show it to me?Ever since Gao Wei stopped him from chopping off his fingers, she found that Lu Lu had more respect for her. After she felt safe, she dared to ask him to fix the light and make jokes.

"Okay, I'll show you my girlfriend in the future." Lu Lu said straightforwardly. The light switch was quickly repaired. Lu said it was a broken spring, a minor problem, and he had replaced it with a new one.Gao Wei said that I have to pay you some material fees, but Lu Lu said no, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to help you with these things in the future.Gao Wei asked you to leave here?He said maybe.If I were to get married.marry?Gao Wei endured it and didn't laugh at him, she thought it shouldn't hurt people's self-esteem. When she was working in the company the next day, Gao Wei remembered from time to time what Lu Lu said about having a girlfriend. She thought maybe it was her own prejudice, why shouldn't others have girlfriends?After thinking this way, she no longer thought about it.

By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Chuan still hadn't come to the company. He came to the company every afternoon for a sit-down. What happened today?She was still waiting for him to change jobs for herself as soon as possible. She dialed Zheng Chuan's cell phone: "Hi, I'm Gao Wei, aren't you coming to the company today?" On the phone, Zheng Chuan's voice looked particularly tired: "Oh, what time is it? Why is it so late? I won't come today." "What's wrong with you? Are you seriously ill?" Gao Wei had never heard such a low and weak voice from him.

"I'm fine, oh, there's something I forgot to ask you all the time, Gao Wei, are you dating a little boy? If it's true, get along well. It's not easy to love someone." Gao Wei was taken aback, the relationship between her and Zhang Jun has always been relatively secret, who told Zheng Chuan?Another thing that surprised her was that after she had a sexual relationship with Zheng Chuan, Zheng Chuan asked her not to have another boyfriend.Give him at least 3 years and he says after that of course you should have a boyfriend and get married.He said that when he was making out with a woman, he couldn't bear to think that this woman was possessed by another man at the same time.He said that when he was young, his wife broke his heart on this point.Gao Wei was so angry at his request that he gritted his teeth, this is a man's hegemony, fuck you.However, she did not dare to express such anger, she had already slept with him, and it would be too bad to break up immediately.She had to pretend to agree to his request, and half-truthfully said that she would not like other men.At that time, no other man really touched her heart.

Therefore, Gao Wei was really surprised when Zheng Chuan said such tolerant, understanding and even encouraging words on the phone today.She didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only falter and say: "What kind of boy, it's nothing like that." After putting down the phone, Gao Wei sat at the desk in a daze.She suddenly thought of the saying "a man who is about to die, his words are good". Could it be that Zheng Chuan is about to die?No, hyperlipidemia is not a serious illness, not to mention that he is well maintained and needs several months of fluids every year.So, was it the strange emails he had had that had given him a nervous breakdown?She went on a date at Huiling Temple for him, and it really felt like a date with a ghost.However, Zheng Chuan didn't let her continue to participate in this matter, and even changed the email password. Did he want to keep that secret for himself?I don't know what changed after that.In addition to the ghost Zheng Chuan saw in the study at her home, there were also combs and mirrors used by women in his office. Judging from these signs, this matter must be more or less ominous until now.

"Why aren't you off work yet?" Zhou Mei walked into the office and awakened Gao Wei from his contemplation, "Everyone in the company has left, and you're still working hard here?" "Oh, I'm a little sleepy, I almost fell asleep." Only then did Gao Wei remember that he had made an appointment with Zhou Mei and went to the street for dinner together after get off work. After Gao Wei changed his clothes, he wanted to go to the toilet for convenience, but he was a little scared, so he asked Zhou Mei, would you go with me?Zhou Mei said that I am inconvenient, okay, I will stand at the door of the toilet to embolden you.

There was no one in the corridor, and they walked all the way to the corner of the corridor, and Gao Wei walked into the women's toilet.Strangely, the small door of the innermost toilet was closed again.Gao Wei hesitated for a moment, and said boldly to himself, don't be afraid, Zhou Mei is standing at the door.Maybe it was curiosity that drove her, she purposely walked into the toilet seat with the closed door, after squatting down, she lowered her head to look at the gap under the partition while making convenience, my God!She saw a white high-heeled shoe again! "There's a ghost!" Gao Wei pulled up his pants and ran out yelling, colliding with Zhou Mei who was standing at the door.

At this moment, Gao Wei really admired Zhou Mei's courage. Zhou Mei raised her voice and said, "What ghost came out before it was dark? Hey, is there a ghost inside?" "What are you talking about?" A woman's voice came from inside.At the same time, the door of the toilet was pushed open, and Zhang Ye came out of the toilet while arranging her skirt. The white high-heeled shoes on her feet made a crisp sound as they walked on the floor tiles. Gao Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he was stunned for a long time before he said: "Why are you? Why are you squatting there and not talking?" Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Who am I talking to alone? I didn't know you were the one who got into the next seat. What the hell, you called me like that, it scared me too." "I saw your shoes under the partition before, are they also ghosts?" "Before? How long was it? I don't know." Zhang Ye said calmly. "Why are you still off work?" Gao Wei asked again. Zhang Ye had already entered the corridor, turned around and said, "I'm sorting out some materials and working overtime. Who do I need to ask for instructions?" When Zhang Ye said this, there was a disdainful expression on his face, which made Gao Wei understand again Many questions. Gao Wei and Zhou Mei walked out of the office building and sat down in a quiet restaurant on the street. Gao Wei said: "I understand, Zhang Ye deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare me. She also went to the toilet with me, covered her shoulders in front of my face, and said that a ghost jumped out of the toilet and bumped into her. I really do Childish, why do you believe her nonsense?" Zhou Mei said in surprise: "I didn't expect this woman to be so jealous. You replaced her as secretary. It seems that she has always hated you." After the food was brought to the table, Gao Wei was so angry that he didn't want to move his chopsticks. "I remembered that when she introduced Zhang Jun to me, she deliberately wanted to slander me with Zheng Chuan." Gao Wei said, "Unfortunately, her plot failed. Not only Zhang Jun really fell in love with me, but also Zheng Chuan. I understand this matter." Gao Wei laughed loudly while talking, this matter stimulated her too much. "Keep your voice down, others are watching us." Zhou Mei reminded her. Gao Wei stuck out his tongue, then lowered his voice and said, "Fortunately, you are here today, so I can't do without her. Otherwise, I will be frightened again. Also, did you see the woman coming out of the dressing room, Zhang Ye? You just now Can you see her face clearly?" Zhou Mei thought about it seriously and said: "It's not her, it's definitely not. It's a middle-aged woman with a thin and haggard face, and her waist is straight when she walks." "So, of the two female ghosts who jumped up to the 24th floor, does one of them look like her?" "It's not like either." Zhou Mei said. "I really don't know what's going on." Gao Wei sighed deeply. At night, Gao Wei was restless at home.The light in the study room was repaired, so I should have cleaned the room thoroughly, and opened the window to bask in the sun during the day.But she didn't think about it at all, Zhang Ye's shadow dangled in front of her eyes, this stinky woman must have accidentally discovered Gao Wei's voice in the toilet and asked the neighbor next door, she was frightened, so she simply stayed silent in the toilet next door .She hates Gao Wei, and often stays in the company after get off work to secretly check whether Gao Wei and Zheng Chuan are making out in the office.She regarded Gao Wei's scare as revenge.abnormal!Gao Wei cursed in his heart.All the weird things must be made by her.Although Zhou Mei said that the woman who came out of the locker room didn't look like Zhang Ye, couldn't she put on makeup?right!It must have been a disguise, and Gao Wei became excited at the thought of this.Also, the earliest email she knew about was sent to Zheng Chuan's mailbox in the name of Lin Xiaoyue. Gao Wei decided to tell Zheng Chuan the situation immediately, and she wanted Zheng Chuan to know the vicious heart of this woman Zhang Ye.It is now 8 o'clock in the evening, and it has just darkened, so there is nothing wrong with calling Zheng Chuan.Hearing his voice on the phone in the afternoon sounded like he was seriously ill, so he should also greet him. Just do what she said, she called Zheng Chuan, told Zheng Chuan what happened after get off work today and her related speculations, and finally she said: "I don't know if those emails are still there, but Anyway, Zhang Ye must have done it. Since she hates me, she also hates you, right? I'm not telling you this to punish her, it's your business and I don't care. It's just that I want you to beware of this That's the woman." Zheng Chuan was also very shocked when he heard it. He said on the phone that he really didn't expect Zhang Ye to treat you like this.However, when it comes to emails, Zheng Chuan said that I know exactly what is going on.Judging from his tone, it seemed that he didn't believe that Zhang Ye did it.Gao Wei was eager to persuade him, but Zheng Chuan said that he was tired and his health was particularly poor today, so let it be. Zheng Chuan put down the phone, the jealousy and revenge between women were beyond his expectation.Thinking back to when Gao Wei was asked to replace Zhang Ye as secretary, he had a conversation with Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye didn't have much resistance, but said that he had to provide her with a car when he went to the office for outreach. After Zheng Chuan agreed, she He readily accepted this change of position.Unexpectedly, she actually held a grudge against Gao Wei. However, Zheng Chuan felt that it was completely impossible to say that Lin Xiaoyue's emails and all kinds of strange things were done by Zhang Ye.The simplest fact is that these emails were indeed written by Lin Xiaoyue, and it is impossible for others to know about the past events that only two people know.Also, the language in the letter can only be written by someone like Lin Xiaoyue who has loved literature since childhood.When she was an educated youth, Lin Xiaoyue wrote recitative poems for the commune's literature and art propaganda team, and everyone said that she wrote them very well.No wonder she finally got to do the cultural work she likes after returning to the city. At this time, the phone rang again.Zheng Chuan was in a state of dizziness all day because he felt Lin Xiaoyue's footsteps getting closer to him.He had heard before that the probability of encountering ghosts and supernatural beings in the crowd was one in a thousand, but he never thought that he would be one of the one in a thousand.Sitting in the room, he felt that the sofa was moving up and down, as if there were waves under the sofa.He knew it was a sign of vertigo.His mind is like a mess, and the ringing of the phone often frightens him for no reason. He picked up the phone again, it was Tan Xiaoying calling.She said that she had been thinking about what Manager Li of the Mausoleum Company said in the morning.She felt that Manager Li did not make it clear that there should be a gate at the entrance of the corridor on the 18th floor of the Mausoleum Company, and it was 8 o'clock at night, and the gate should have been locked. If so, then come to buy How did the woman of the tomb get in and get out?She said it was hard to believe that Lin Xiaoyue had a soul anyway.In order to understand what happened last night, this detail should be asked first. This detail is really important, Zheng Chuan thought after putting down the phone, he was really dizzy, why didn't he consider this point?Perhaps what Tan Xiaoying meant was that if the gate was locked, the woman who appeared at night might be Lin Xiaoyue's soul.He has been to the Mausoleum Company on the 18th floor, and there is really a solid iron gate at the entrance. He immediately called Manager Li, but the phone rang a long time, but no one answered.Zheng Chuan's heart was "thumping", thinking that it would be best if no one answered it, if he answered it and said that the iron gate was locked, it would be like another thunderclap to Zheng Chuan. However, people cannot avoid the terrible things in this world. Manager Li's voice came from the phone, and he said that the iron gate was of course locked, and it was like this every day.Old man Cao, who lives in the company, is withdrawn by nature. He locks the door before 10 o'clock every night, and then stays in the hut to watch TV. After talking on the phone, Zheng Chuan felt that he was in a swamp. He didn't move, but the more he moved, the more he sank. He felt a little short of breath. When he opened the window, there was no wind. He decided to go for a walk on the street. It's just 9 o'clock in the evening, it must still be very lively outside, he suddenly wanted to go to the crowd, he needed the power of the crowd to support his gloomy heart. Zheng Chuan came out of the bedroom, while Liu Ying and Gou Ma were watching TV in the living room downstairs.Liu Ying had already taken a shower, put on her pajamas, put her bare feet on the stool, and looked very leisurely.Seeing Zheng Chuan go downstairs, she said, you slept all day, why do you want to go out again at night?Zheng Chuan said to take a walk.He went to the door to change his shoes, and at the same time glanced at the TV, a woman's frightened face was appearing on the screen, and there was a horrible scream at the same time.This is a horror movie, he is most allergic to this kind of thing now, he turned his head, opened the door and walked out. The streets on summer nights are full of bustling atmosphere, and the neon lights extend layer upon layer, making people feel that it is a pity not to live in this world.Zheng Chuan walks aimlessly, and the woman's dress flutters, adding flexibility to this rigid industrial society and nervous commercial society.At this time, Zheng Chuan wondered for no reason, among these shimmering women, would Lin Xiaoyue come out suddenly, stand by the fountain not far away and wave to him? He also remembered the folk saying that one in a thousand people will encounter ghosts, and the bustling crowd in front of him, they don't know that he is already this one in a thousand.A woman walked by him with a stroller, and the child smiled at him. He wanted to reach out to touch the child's face, but he stopped after raising his hand. He thought that if the child burst into tears suddenly, His status as a psychic was exposed, because it is said that children's eyes can see things that adults cannot see. Maybe it was because the bustling street was full of yang, Zheng Chuan suddenly felt hungry, and he hardly ate anything today.There was a Cantonese-style restaurant in front, so he decided to have some supper. The business of the restaurant was very good. Zheng Chuan walked up the stairs. In front of him was a man and woman holding arms. They walked on the upper steps of the stairs, so their feet were just parallel to Zheng Chuan's line of sight.Zheng Chuan was taken aback suddenly, he saw a pair of white high heels, and looking up, he saw the buttocks and slender waist wrapped in a white skirt.The man on the woman's arm looked like a little old man, and their gait showed the exuberance before supper. Walking up to the restaurant, the moment the woman turned her side, Zheng Chuan recognized that it was Zhang Ye.Zhang Ye also saw him, and greeted him generously, Mr. Zheng, are you here for supper alone? The man next to Zhang Ye also turned around. It was Boss Wang of the antique shop.The little old man in his 50s was full of smiles. He said that it was a pleasure to meet him. Zhang Ye and I met the nobleman just after we set a wedding date.Seeing that Zheng Chuan was puzzled, Zhang Ye explained from the side, Boss Wang and I are engaged, and the wedding will be held next month. Mr. Zheng, you have to come and congratulate us. The three of them sat down together by the window, and Boss Wang ordered red wine and some dishes.Zheng Chuan felt awkward. Although the 27-year-old Zhang Ye should consider starting a family, Boss Wang, who is over fifty years old, shouldn't be her candidate.Thinking of someone changing the traditional "look of a man of talent" to "look of a man of wealth", it seems that this is the current reality. Zheng Chuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip alone. He didn't clink glasses to congratulate the two people opposite him. This was his temper.Zhang Ye's high-heeled shoes touched his feet under the tablecloth, which meant that you should give me some face.Zheng Chuan remembered the fright that the white high heels had given Gao Wei, and he wanted to ask Zhang Ye why she did this, and also, did she really pretend to be a ghost in the company's locker room and office building? Zheng Chuan's eyes met Zhang Ye's. She smiled, and there was nothing ghostly in her eyes.Zheng Chuan felt that his mind was in chaos, and he supported his forehead with his hands. "Mr. Zheng, you have to take care of your health." Boss Wang said flatteringly, "The jade bracelet Mr. Luo sent you last time, you can wear it on your wrist when you sleep, it can nourish blood and dispel evil spirits." "Am I evil?" Zheng Chuan asked guiltily. "Hmm." Boss Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "We're all buddies. Let me tell you the truth. You look really bewitched. There's something wrong with the acupoints on your forehead, eyelids, and upper lip. Before A few years ago, I had a niece in the country like this. She came to the city to see a doctor, and I told her after seeing her face, you are not sick, but you have been caught by a demon. She asked me what is going on with this demon, and I I said that only you know the specific situation. Maybe it’s offending some god, or someone who died wants to drag you along. My niece shouted after hearing this, that’s exactly what happened. My husband died last year. I always saw him coming to my bed, and he said he couldn't bear me. I told my niece that's right, you go back quickly, burn incense and wax paper money in front of his grave, and tell him not to pull you. I My niece did this after she went back, but she was unlucky. There was a thunderstorm when she went to the grave, which made everything she did ineffective. She didn't understand this and thought everything was safe. Write to me that my niece is dead. I slept soundly at night, but I can't wake up at dawn. Oh, what a pity." Listening to the bizarre incident told by Boss Wang, Zheng Chuan felt a gust of cold wind blowing on his back. In the middle of the night, the door of Gao Wei's room was gently pushed open.A pair of feet in white high heels walked in from outside.This was a woman with a face as pale as paper. She stood in the living room looking around, and then she turned and went into the kitchen. There was the sound of chopping pots, pans, bowls and kitchen knives, as if the woman was cooking a delicious meal inside. Gao Wei saw the pair of feet wearing high heels coming in from the outside through the crack of the bedroom door, until the woman went into the kitchen to cook, Gao Wei was so frightened that he lay down by the crack of the bedroom door and dared not move.I don't know how long it took, but there was no sound in the kitchen. Did the woman leave?Gao Wei came out of the bedroom on tiptoe, and she walked across the living room to the kitchen door, which was closed.She pushed hard, and the door opened with a "bang", the chandelier in the kitchen was shaking in the air, and a woman was lying straight on the ground, with a frozen expression of terror on her pale face, and a big bloody gash on her neck. There was a large pool of blood on the ground.Gao Wei's foot slipped, only to find that there was more and more water on the ground, as if it was about to wash away the pool of blood... Gao Wei let out a heart-piercing cry, and kicked his legs to wake up from the nightmare. "Ah---" Gao Wei couldn't help screaming after waking up, her heart seemed to jump out of her throat, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.She turned on the light, and saw that the clock beside the bed was pointing to 1:00 in the morning, and the surrounding was silent, with the sound of playing mahjong coming from downstairs.She knew that there were two families living downstairs, one was the old lady Zeng, and the other had more members, and they often played mahjong all night. Gao Wei was usually annoyed by the sound of playing cards, but at this moment, the sound eased her fear. There are people living below, so she is a little more courageous. Gao Wei decided to go to the kitchen to have a look.Although it was a nightmare, she knew that her dreams were often accurate, and sometimes it was an omen. Could there really be a female corpse in the kitchen?Thinking of this, Gao Wei didn't dare to go out, but she had already opened the bedroom door, and she stared nervously outside. There seemed to be a person standing in the dark living room. Looking closely, it was a coat rack with clothes hanging on it. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should not scare himself, and go to the kitchen to have a look to feel at ease. She walked into the living room, turned on the light first, and then walked to the kitchen through the narrow side passage.Suddenly, her foot slipped, and when she looked down, the ground was full of water.The kitchen door was closed tightly, and water of what color could not be seen was pouring out from under the kitchen door. This was exactly the same as the scene in the dream!Gao Wei's heart tightened suddenly, her legs trembled, she knew that as soon as she opened the kitchen door, there would be the female corpse soaked in the water... Gao Wei turned around and ran into the living room, no, this room can't stay anymore, she decisively opened the door and ran out, and at the same time closed the door to prevent the ghost from chasing it out. She stood outside the house and stomped on the voice-activated street lamp on the corridor.God, what should she do?It would be nice if someone came to help her at this time.Maybe God has eyes, Gao Wei saw that the door of the next room was ajar and there was a light coming through in a blink of an eye.The house that had been vacant since the death had terrified her, but since she met land in it, her fear was gone.She knew that the property manager would sometimes stay there for a while because of the convenience of having the key.At this moment, the light was on in the room, and the land must be inside again, Gao Wei pushed the door open as if he had found a savior. "Is anyone there?" Gao Wei called into the empty room.There was no answer, and her voice seemed to echo in the empty room in the middle of the night. She hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to go to the bedroom. She gently opened the bedroom door, and the light was on inside, but there was still no one there.Suddenly, she saw a pair of white high-heeled shoes, which were placed by the bed, as if a woman had taken them off and slept on the bed.However, the bed was empty, and a moth flew around the lamp a few times and then landed on the head of the bed. Gao Wei stepped back quickly, and was about to leave the room when footsteps sounded on the stairs outside.Someone is coming upstairs!Not only did Gao Wei not dare to come out, but she had to quickly close the door. There was a peephole on the door. She stood behind the door and stared out nervously through the peephole. The corridor was pitch black, and as the footsteps coming upstairs got closer and closer, the street lights were turned on. Gao Wei saw a woman with disheveled hair through the cat's eyes, her hair was made into strange shapes by countless curlers. When I looked, the woman had disappeared to the left of the cat's eye, and then there was a knock on the door. Gao Wei was numb with fear, this woman is knocking on her door!Luckily she came out, the woman wouldn't know she was in the next room. "Dong dong dong", the knocking on the door continued, Gao Wei thought, is this the woman who died in her kitchen?Or is it another ghost?Looking for the new ghost in the kitchen? Gao Wei felt dizzy for a while, she tried to keep her mind clear, and suddenly thought, would that woman knock on the door of the room she was in now? She thought of the pair of high heels in the bedroom, or, it was the A woman lives here, no, what should she do? "Dong dong dong", the knock on the door made people tremble, "Residents on the 6th floor, open the door!" The woman spoke, her voice was a little hoarse, "Your kitchen is leaking, what's wrong, it's raining lightly below us!" Gao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, this might be the family playing mahjong downstairs.Gao Wei wanted to go out, but felt it was wrong. How could she explain it when she came out of the next room in the middle of the night? The woman knocked on the door for a while longer, and then went downstairs saying "very nasty."Gao Wei crouched behind the door, wondering what to do?How dare she go into the kitchen if she goes back to the house.Shall we call the police first?But when she ran out just now, she didn't even bring her mobile phone with her. At this time, Gao Wei suddenly felt a cold hand on her shoulder from behind.With a scream, she leaned against the door and sat down on the ground.Seeing the ground spinning, she tried to raise her head, and a thin man's face was facing her. "Gao Wei, why is it you? I thought she was standing here." Gao Wei was stunned for a long time before he could tell that it was the voice of land.She felt heat slowly coming back into her body, and she wanted to speak, but her voice was as small as a mosquito. "What's wrong with you?" Lu Lu said, "I fell asleep in the kitchen, and I was woken up by the noise outside. I didn't expect you to come here." "Why don't you sleep on the bed?" Gao Wei finally spoke, as if she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was land. "Oh, my girlfriend won't let me sleep there." Lu Lu said, "She said that I can only go to the bedroom when I get married." "Your girlfriend? Where is she?" Gao Wei has come to his senses. "Sleeping in the bedroom." Lu Lu said, "You didn't disturb her when you came in just now?" Gao Wei shook his head and said, "I saw no one on the bed." Lu Lu walked to the door of the bedroom in disbelief, took a look and said, "Oh, she's gone. How could you come into this room casually? I saw that she went to the kitchen after she fell asleep. You should leave quickly before dawn." She'll be back." Gao Wei was confused by Lu Lu's words, and when she was about to leave, she remembered the terrible incident that happened in her house. "Lu Lu, someone died in my house!" She said as if begging for help, "A woman died in the kitchen, and the floor was full of water. Go and see what's going on for me." "A woman?" Lu Lu said in a panic, "Go, go and have a look, it can't be my girlfriend?" Gao Wei followed Lu Lu back to his room, and the water from the kitchen had already flooded into the living room.Lu Lu quickly walked towards the kitchen, he opened the door and took a look and said, "No one!" Gao Wei walked over in fear, the kitchen was empty, the faucet was forgotten to be turned off, and the water in the sink was overflowing like a waterfall. Lu Lu turned off the tap for her, and said doubtfully, "A woman died here, did you see it?" Gao Wei couldn't say it was a dream, but it was true that the kitchen was full of water in the dream. She couldn't explain it, so she had no choice but to say that maybe I was wrong. After the land left, Gao Wei sat in the room blankly, thinking about everything that happened tonight.She remembered the pair of white high-heeled shoes she saw in her dream. Is this why she hated Zhang Ye in her heart?However, the face of the woman in the dream is as white as paper, which is the same as the ghost that Zheng Chuan saw in her study. Does this mean that there are real ghosts?There is also a pair of high heels of the same color in the next room, so, is Lu Lu's so-called girlfriend also a ghost? Gao Wei felt chills all over again, and in desperation, he suddenly thought of calling Zhang Jun, yes, tell him to come here quickly, otherwise he will not be able to pass tonight. It was already 2 o'clock in the morning, but Zhang Jun came in a hurry.Gao Wei hugged him and wept bitterly. Zhang Jun listened to her and patted her and said it's okay, it's okay, it's all the shadow left by Zhang Ye. Gao Wei calmed down a little, Zhang Jun took out the plastic bucket and towel, squatted on the ground to clean up the stagnant water. "It's not exactly Zhang Ye's shadow." Gao Wei, who was sitting blankly by the side, suddenly thought, "There is a cardboard box for waste on the roof of my building. I don't know who threw it there, and there is a white high-heeled shoe inside. , tomorrow morning we'll go and see if it's still there." "What does this have to do with what happened tonight?" Zhang Jun asked puzzled. "There's a pair of shoes like that in the next room. I think they might be on the roof." Gao Wei said, "It might be the shoes of a dead person." Gao Wei woke up while analyzing. In the next room, the soul of the dead mistress probably entered her dream... At noon, the weather was sweltering, and Tan Xiaoying lay on the edge of the table in the nurse's office trying to sleep for a while, but when she closed her eyes, she saw Zheng Chuan in a trance.During the infusion this morning, he called her Tan Xiaoying for a while, and Lin Xiaoyue for a while.She doesn't blame him, she knows that a series of strange things that happened recently have made him almost collapse.He asked Tan Xiaoying, if two people who love each other, even if they were once in love, if one dies, will the other die next?Tan Xiaoying said that there is no such inevitability. She works in the hospital and has seen many people die, but she has never heard of the death of the lover of the deceased. However, Tan Xiaoying knew in her heart that the strange incident that Manager Li of the Mausoleum Company said yesterday morning has been weighing on Zheng Chuan's mind.This matter is indeed unavoidable. A woman went to the Mausoleum Company to buy a tomb for Zheng Chuan at 11 o'clock at night, and the registered buyer was Lin Xiaoyue. No one would take it easy if such a horrible incident happened.Importantly this is not an isolated incident.Reminiscent of the various experiences starting from Lin Xiaoyue's email, Tan Xiaoying also has to believe that ghosts may really exist, but most people rarely encounter them. She suggested that Zheng Chuan invite Yan Hong from the magazine to analyze this strange incident together. After all, Yan Hong is Lin Xiaoyue's colleague, and she might be able to find a way to solve it.But Zheng Chuan said that the last time a ghost appeared in Lin Xiaoyue's cemetery, and Yan Hong went with him, it seemed that she was helpless. "Xiaoying, are you asleep?" Nurse Xiaofei came in from outside, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand. "Where are the flowers?" Tan Xiaoying raised her head from her doze, stretched her waist and asked. "The female patient in bed 12 was discharged from the hospital. She thanked us for the flowers." Xiao Fei said, "Do you remember that this patient kept saying that someone was standing in front of her bed in the middle of the night? Lin Xiaoyue's patient died in this hospital bed, so she always asked to change the ward. Later we told her that it was her psychological effect. In the hospital, which ward has no death? You can change a ward? It's not the same. She finally figured it out. She didn't have any more nightmares after that. She was discharged from the hospital today, and I sent this flower to thank us for taking care of her patiently." "Oh." Tan Xiaoying replied thoughtfully.At this moment, she once again doubted what happened at the Mausoleum Company. Could it be an illusion?The old man Cao who stayed alone at the company at night, maybe he was drinking, maybe he was watching a horror drama on TV at that time, he was in a state of turmoil, and when he turned his face, he saw a woman standing outside the door. Hallucinations caused by effects are entirely possible.Moreover, it is said that the iron gate of the company at the entrance of the corridor is locked, and normal people cannot enter or exit at all. How could a woman who bought a tomb come to his door?Unless the old man is lying.lie?is it possible?Or the old man never saw a woman at all, but Manager Li came to tell Zheng Chuan a lie? At this moment, Tan Xiaoying's thinking was unprecedentedly active.She suddenly thought that at 11 o'clock this night, she would go to the Mausoleum Company to conduct a field exercise to see how the old man Cao reacted, so as to prove whether the night before yesterday was true.For example, is the iron gate locked at 11 o'clock at night?When old man Cao met a woman who came to buy a tomb, would he register her?In the end, she could even directly ask the old man if what happened the night before was as bizarre as he said? After making this decision, Tan Xiaoying was a little excited.Who told Lin Xiaoyue and Zheng Chuan to be her patients successively, she has the responsibility to figure it out.Especially when this series of strange things had enveloped her. The whole afternoon was extremely sweltering and it rained heavily after dark.The visit to the Mausoleum Company was about to be cancelled, and Tan Xiaoying was fidgeting in the room.Just after 10 o'clock at night, the rain weakened a little, Tan Xiaoying grabbed an umbrella and went out.She is a person with type A blood, and what has been decided will not change.Xiaofei once said about her stubbornness, she went all the way to the dark, there was no way. The Fangcheng Building in the night looks like a black pillar, and the small red light on the top seems to be blinking ghostly eyes in the sky.Tan Xiaoying walked into the lobby on the ground floor, the elevator was busy at night, and it was stopping on the ground floor, as if it was waiting for her. She pressed the button on the 18th floor, the metal door slowly closed, and the elevator went up.Thinking of the Mausoleum Company that was about to arrive, she became nervous.I hope nothing unexpected happens.最好的结果是，那个留守公司的曹老头对她说，前天夜里没人来买过墓，李经理所说的事是莫须有的；最坏的结果呢？那怪事确实发生过，甚至还有更让人恐惧的事……谭小影不敢多想了，电梯已在18楼停下，发亮的金属门徐徐打开。 走出电梯是一个小小的过厅，左边墙上有一长方形招牌，上书“松坡墓陵公司”，旁边是一道铁门。在朦胧的灯光下，谭小影推了推铁门，已经锁上了。看来这门到夜里便锁上确是事实，那么，前天夜里的女人是怎么进去的呢？ 谭小影有点慌乱，她将合上的雨伞换了一只手，心想，既然来了无论如何得见到那老头才行，不然一切无法证实。她鼓足勇气敲响了铁门，同时叫道：“请开门---” 然而，里面没人应答。一连敲了好几次都这样。寂静中她听见自己心跳的声音。 是里面的人睡着了吗？或者，是前天夜里出现的女人又在里面，而留守在这里的曹老头正遭到不测？人真是奇怪，越是恐惧的时候，想像力越丰富，谭小影敲了敲额头对自己说别多想了，得想法进去就清楚了。 她在原地转了两圈，突然想到医院住院楼的结构，中间是电梯，电梯旁是步行楼梯，而在大楼的两侧，则各有一道用于消防的楼梯，便于火灾时的人员迅速疏散。想来各种高层建筑应该都设有这种通道。但是，她怎么能走到大楼最侧面去呢？除非有另外的楼层没有在走廊口装上铁门。 想到这点，谭小影兴奋起来，管他呢，先去另外一层楼察看察看。她进了电梯，按下了19楼的按钮。电梯上行，转瞬即到。 果然，这层楼的走廊是畅通的。谭小影在墙上摸到了廊灯的开关，长长的走廊在灯光下显露出来。她沿着走廊往深处走，两边的房门上没有任何标志，也许这层楼还没有公司入驻。 在走廊尽头转一个弯之后，出现了一道敞开的木门，走出门便是大楼侧面的楼梯。谭小影的心“怦怦”地跳着，从这楼梯往下走，便是18楼的墓陵公司了。 楼梯上一片漆黑，谭小影摸着扶手走了下去，很快有了朦胧的亮光，18楼到了。 谭小影探头看去，从一道半开的房门淌出灯光，电视的声音很响，难怪那老头子刚才听不见敲铁门的声音。她定了定神，踏响脚步向灯光处走去。她决定将前晚发生的事演习一遍，看看具体过程与李经理讲述的是否一样。然后，她再向曹老头讲明原因，将前晚的情况彻底搞清楚。 她推开了半掩的房门，看见一个瘦高个的老头子正跷着脚坐在椅子上看电视。 “大爷，我是来买墓陵的，请问现在可以先登个记吗？”她完全照前晚的情形开始，因为她总觉得这老头子前晚给那个女人登了记不合常理，有些像编造的故事。 老头子突然看见站在门口的她，嘴巴一下子就张大了。如谭小影所料，他此时根本不可能作什么询问，更不可能拿出笔来登记。他在极度惊恐中像呆了一样，根本说不出话来。 突然，老头子抓起旁边的凳子向她打了过来，这是她意想不到的。已经来不及躲闪了，她本能地伸出双手去挡凳子。她只觉得双臂一麻，人也往前一扑，跌倒在地上。 老头子扑了过来，他的脸上因恐惧扭曲得很厉害。他用绳子将谭小影的双手迅速捆住，这一套动作看来他是早有准备。“鬼！鬼！我看你往哪里跑。”他嘴里不停地念叨着。 谭小影这一刻是有口难辩，她大声叫道：“放开我，我不是鬼，我是来了解前天晚上的事情的。” “你又来了！我知道你还会来的。”老头子气喘吁吁地说，“我先把你关起来，等天亮后让大家看看究竟是不是鬼。” 谭小影的挣扎、解释都没有用，老头子将她推到走廊上，打开另一道房门，用力将她推了进去，然后“砰”的一声关上房门，并且锁上了。谭小影放开喉咙大喊：“放我出来，我是来了解情况的！”可是，老头子已经回到他的屋子里去了，这夜半的写字楼里无人听见她的喊叫。 曹老头立即给李经理打电话，他说前晚出现的鬼魂，刚才被他抓住了，正关在放骨灰盒的屋子里，他问李经理这事该怎么办。 “你……你抓住鬼了？哈哈！你说大……大话。”李经理又喝醉了，曹老头一听这声音就知道。 “真的抓住了！”曹老头说，“你说该怎么办？” “烧……烧死她！鬼怕火……火……”李经理已经醉得一塌糊涂。 曹老头放下电话，听见那女人还在放骨灰盒的屋子里大喊大叫，便走到门边吼道：“不准叫！再叫就要烧死你了！” 屋子里果然安静下来。 天黑下来的时候，郑川打开了电脑。他总觉得林晓月的邮件如果到来，一定是在天黑以后。他最近给她发出不少诉说他心中困惑的信件，可是都石沉大海，他不知道是不是她的邮箱出了问题。 鄢红打来了电话，她还关心着墓地出现鬼魂的事。她问郑川墓陵管理方面有没有新的发现。她说这事太蹊跷，不弄清楚真相心里没法踏实。郑川知道她现在正坐在林晓月以前坐过的位子办公。他理解她的感受，但事情一点头绪也没有，他说，等等看吧。放下电话后他想，她还不知道事情已经更严重了，但这毕竟是自己的私事，还是自己处理罢了。他相信林晓月会来邮件讲起这些事的。 今天下午他强打精神去了公司，高苇对他讲不愿住那套出租屋了，她说隔壁死了人，住在那里总是提心吊胆的。郑川说那就搬家吧。你这次一定要找一个安全的地方。 其实，郑川心里明白，高苇那里实际上是安全的，虽说他在那里遇见过鬼魂，但从其可怕的形象看，她一定是死去的崔娟，自从地下停车场的命案告破以后，这鬼魂也就不再出现了。另外，女厕所里的高跟鞋也知道了是怎么回事。应该说，高苇现在可以心安理得了。她住在那里还怕，主要是心里太恐惧的原因。 现在唯一剩下的事，是等着林晓月来邮件或者直接出现。这是他和她之间的私事。古董店的王老板说死人拉活人一块去阴间的事，他一直将信将疑，只是从墓地到墓陵公司发生的怪事看，林晓月的灵魂有让他去陪伴的迹象。他知道这种事非常隐秘，如果他哪天死了，别的人并不知道真正的原因。 死，他可以接受吗？不，还是太早了一点，他还不到50岁，他正有很多生活需要品尝。像一个饿久了的人刚坐到美食桌边一样，现在要拉他离开真是太残酷了一点，他希望在邮件上与林晓月沟通。 郑川坐在电脑前，像一个教徒等着教堂开门一样，心里充满企盼。这天晚上，老天满足了他，邮件来了！郑川瞪大眼睛看着电脑屏幕，又是“往事”，这意味着林晓月仍没对现在的事作出解释。郑川叹了口气，先看看这新邮件再说吧。 邮件名：往事（10） 那一个寒冷而温暖的冬夜是我们的最后一次相聚。很多年过去了，在人生的恍然如梦中，我经常想，在命运的安排中，人是多么的无能为力。尤其是厄运袭来的时候，我居然还像一只迟钝的羚羊一样，对近在咫尺的危险全然不知。 你是在天边微亮时离开我的茅屋的。我们的目光对视了一下，似乎在说好好珍惜这个冬夜的记忆。你说早点离开以免被人看见，这是必要的，因为我们那时身处一个有着中世纪气味的年代。 然而，你天亮前从我屋里出来时，还是被远远的眼睛看见了。中午过后，大队书记找到我了解情况。大队书记是这方圆一带的农民中最有威信的人，他50来岁，长得很壮，下巴上有不少多余的肉。开会的时候大家叫他汪书记，平时农民都叫他汪二叔。我开始觉得他是一个好书记，因为他对知青很关心，他到我的屋里来过很多次，问问柴草够不够烧、米柜里的米够不够吃之类的话。不久前的一个晚上，他又来了，进屋后便坐在我的床沿上，一边说话，一边用眼睛在我身上不停地溜。我感到气氛不对，便说汪书记我要休息了。没想到，我这样明显的逐客令一点儿不起作用，他说有重要的事要告诉我，这可关系到我的前途呀。 原来，城里来的招工小组已到了县上，据说我们公社有两个知青回城的名额。我心动了，我说汪书记我想争取回城当工人，你向公社推荐我吧。我说下乡3年来，不论春夏秋冬，在田里劳动一天也没耽误过（例假来时我还下水田栽秧子，但这个良好表现我没好意思说出口）。我说农民们都说我劳动态度好，汪书记你可以去了解一下，回城的条件我是具备了的。 汪书记一边肯定我的劳动表现，一边说竞争很激烈，只有两个回城的指标，要回城你得听我的话才行。我正在对他的话感到纳闷，他站起来突然抱住了我，一只大手捂在我的胸上。我极为震惊，又气又急地推他，可怎么也推不开，我感到自己要完蛋了，便低头在他手腕上狠狠咬了一口。他吓着了，松了手退回门边。临走时他说你就在这里一辈子当农民吧。 这件事我没对你讲，郑川，我怕你去杀了他。没想到，他又来找我了，他说昨天夜里，有一个男知青在你屋里住宿吧？你知不知道乱搞男女关系是犯法的事？犯法，你懂吗？这是要坐牢的，至少也要在生产队的社员大会上作检讨，我们还可以对你实行监督劳动改造，让你改掉这些资产阶级的东西。 我当时真是害怕，便申辩说这不是乱搞男女关系，我们在一起讲故事，这犯法了？他说他作为大队书记也不想冤枉我，临走时他说，哼，我们会有证据的。 第二天，厄运便降到我的头上。也许是吃的东西有点变质，我在田间劳动时突然发生了呕吐。不一会儿，大队妇女主任带着几个人找到了我，强行将我扭到公社卫生院去作妇科检查。他们说我怀孕了，如果生下小孩怎么办？这可违反国家的计划生育政策呀！这天大的委屈让我又哭又闹，还抓破了一个人的手，但最后还是去了公社卫生院。妇女主任说，你是不是清白的，检查后就知道了。 写到这里，我简直不敢回想在公社卫生院发生的事，那是一个野蛮的地方。一个屠夫似的男医生将我的一生毁了！他用了些魔鬼才用的工具，用他那戴着胶手套的手，将我彻底毁了！我的血流在了那个野蛮的地方，我的惨叫声在那座地狱里回荡！检查完了之后，我听见这个屠夫走到门外对妇女主任说，她还没怀上崽，你带她回去吧。我仰躺在检查台上哭了，哭得天昏地转…… 从那以后，郑川，我不敢再见到你了。我是从地狱里回来的人，我罪孽深重。我只有独自受苦才对得起你的一片深情。我已经不是你所想像的那个纯洁的女孩了，魔鬼已经在我身上留下了耻辱的伤口……
