Chapter 4 Chapter 4: The Abnormal Tao Zi

When Weiwei returned to the dormitory, Tao Zi and Li Jing didn't know where to go.Weiwei sat in front of the window, staring out of the window in a daze.The weird expression on Du Yuchen's face and Li Hao's baby face kept flashing in her mind. At noon, Tao Zi and Li Jing still didn't come back, Weiwei ate something hastily in the cafeteria, then sat in front of the window and became dazed again. After a while, Weiwei stood up from the window, glanced at her laptop computer like a ghost, then walked over and opened it. But when she turned on the computer, she found that this high-tech gadget was always on a black screen. Weiwei tried several times to no avail, so she had to close the computer.

"Is this really God's will?" Weiwei sneered like a self-deprecating sneer, and then leaned against the head of the bed. Night began to fall on the ground, and a thin layer of light fog enveloped the entire campus.Weiwei sat up from the bed, looked at the small alarm clock on the table, and found that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, Weiwei felt a little hungry.She took out a bag of instant noodles and was just about to soak when she heard footsteps coming from the corridor. "Eat instant noodles again, Weiwei." Li Jing appeared at the door of the dormitory.

"Yeah, I didn't feel hungry when the cafeteria opened just now." "Don't eat instant noodles." Li Jing walked up to Weiwei, handed her something to Weiwei and said, "I went to McDonald's with Pei Hanwen just now, and I brought you and Tao Zi a little bit back. You each have a hamburger. A box of fried chicken nuggets." "Thank you, Li Jing." Weiwei took the hamburger and said, "You and Pei Hanwen are okay." "It's okay." Li Jing nodded, "He asked about you just now!" "Oh, is that so?" Weiwei glanced at Li Jing and didn't say anything, but she could feel the jealousy on Li Jing's face.

"Li Jing, there seems to be something wrong with my computer." Weiwei put the hamburger aside and said, "The screen is always black when I start it up, I don't know what's going on." "Leave this kind of trivial matter to me." Li Jing said, "Let Pei Hanwen fix it. He, a small boss in Silicon Valley of Jinglan City, is still very good at computers. I'll give it to him later." "That's so embarrassing!" Weiwei always felt a little awkward when she heard that Li Jing was going to hand over the computer to Pei Hanwen. "It's okay, Weiwei." Li Jing said nonchalantly, "For Pei Hanwen, this is all a matter of lifting a finger. Besides, we have never asked him for help, so we will give him a chance to perform."

"Then thank him for me then." "Thank him for what, just thank me." Li Jing looked at Tao Zi's bed and said, "Where is Tao Zi? Where did this girl go?" "I don't know, I'm wondering too." Weiwei took out her mobile phone, "Call her and tell her to come back quickly, otherwise the burger will be cold." Weiwei dialed Tao Zi's mobile phone, but Tao Zi turned it off. "Tao Zi turned off the phone." Weiwei looked at Li Jing and said, "Didn't she tell you where she went?" "No." Li Jing said, "When I went out today, Tao Zi was still in the bedroom."

"Oh, that's right!" Li Jing slapped her forehead suddenly and said, "Tao Zi has been talking about the small building at No. 148 Pingkang Road for the past two days. She probably won't go there." "Ah!" Weiwei trembled, "No way, she already promised me that she would not go to that small building." "It's hard to say." Li Jing thought as she paced the room, "Tao Zi is a foolish and bold girl. If she is sure about what she wants, she won't turn back until she bumps into the south wall." After hearing Li Jing's words, Weiwei also began to worry.

"Why don't we go and have a look at that small building." Li Jing said suddenly, "If Tao Zi really went to that small building, if there were really some ghosts and ghosts in that small building, then Tao Zi might be in danger .” "But..." Weiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright then, let's go now." When Weiwei and Li Jing walked out of the dormitory, they found that the fog was thicker than before.The two walked out of the school and stood on the side of the road waiting for a taxi. The taxi drove very slowly in the night fog.When Weiwei and Li Jing came to the small building, it was almost half past nine.Li Jing raised her head and glanced at the small building standing in the dark night, then turned her head to look at Weiwei and said, "This house is big enough, tell me, will Tao Zi be in it?"

"I don't know." Weiwei shook her head. "Then let's go in and have a look." Li Jing looked into the yard and said, "It's quite mysterious, there is no light at all." "How to get in?" Weiwei glanced inside and said, "The doors are locked, and we don't know what's going on inside. What if Tao Zi isn't inside if we go in rashly?" "I can't control that much now." Li Jing looked around and said, "Let's find a way to get in first." "How do we get in?" Weiwei looked at the closed courtyard door, "Don't you want to jump in?"

"Even if you jump, you have to check what's going on inside first." Li Jing bent her back, turned her head and whispered to Wei Wei behind her, "Come on, follow me, first go around the small building and observe it before we talk." "Who did you learn this from?" Weiwei followed behind Li Jing and said, "It seems that you are quite experienced, it must be Li Hao who taught you." "I'm self-taught." Li Jing whispered as she walked forward, "Of course, I often spend time with him, so I'm somewhat influenced by him." The two walked around the yard for a while and came to the side of the small building.At this time, Li Jing suddenly pulled Weiwei to hide behind a tree.

"Look at Weiwei, there seems to be something moving inside." Li Jing gently tugged on Weiwei's hand, pointed to the yard and said, "I seemed to see a figure just now." "Really?" Wei Wei suddenly became nervous, staring, looking in the direction of Li Jing's finger. "There's nothing!" Wei Wei looked at it for a long time, except for the grass and trees in the yard that looked more shady under the dark night mist, she didn't see the figure Li Jing mentioned. "Just now I clearly saw a figure swaying among the trees, but now it disappeared again."

"Are you blind?" Weiwei stared at the trees in the yard and said, "It's foggy, can you really see clearly?" "Anyway, I look like a person." Li Jing stretched her head and looked into the yard, "Wait a little longer and see if that person will show up again." The two held their breath, bowed their backs, and waited behind the tree. Time passed by every minute and every second, and the fog became thicker and thicker. "The fog is getting thicker and thicker. Even if someone appears in a while, we probably won't be able to see them anymore." Weiwei rubbed her eyes. "Calm down, wait another five minutes." Li Jing's thin face looked a little pale under the night, her brows were tightly frowned, and her expression became more and more dignified. "Li Jing, you look quite scary." Seeing the expression on Li Jing's face, Weiwei felt a little chills all over her body. "Because I'm scared." Li Jing suddenly took Weiwei's hand, "It's the first time I've done something like this since I grew up." "Looking at your posture just now, it seems that you are quite experienced." Weiwei looked at Li Jing with some surprise. "I lied to you." Li Jing's hands trembled slightly, "It's also to cheer us up." "I'll call Tao Zi again and see if I can get through." Wei Wei dialed Tao Zi's cell phone again. "How is it, have you got through?" "No." Weiwei looked at Li Jing and put down the phone in her hand, "My phone has no signal." "No, let's go back." Weiwei glanced at the small building that looked even darker and more lonely under the night mist, "Maybe Tao Zi is not here at all, maybe she has already returned to school by now." "You're right." Li Jing glanced at Weiwei, as if she had been waiting for Weiwei to say this for a long time, "Okay then, let's go home. If Tao Zi is not in the dormitory, I will give Li Hao called and asked people from the Public Security Bureau to look for him." "Yeah." Vivi nodded. Just when the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the small building.Judging from the sound quality, the cry obviously came from a girl.This wailing scream, in the dark night, was like a sharp knife, breaking the fragile sympathetic nerves of Weiwei and Li Jing in an instant, and the two bodies trembled violently almost at the same time. Along with the screams, Weiwei and Tao Zi saw at the same time that the door of the small building was suddenly knocked open from the inside, and only a thin figure ran out of the small building in the haze. "Ah! What's going on here?" Weiwei was taken aback, she hurriedly pulled Li Jing, and hid behind the tree again. The figure that suddenly ran out of the small building crossed the lawn in the yard and stumbled towards the gate of the small courtyard. "Why do I look so much like Tao Zi?!" Li Jing was trembling all over, and suddenly said this. Li Jing's words forcibly tore a gap in Weiwei's nearly collapsed psychological defense. "You, are you sure it's Tao Zi?" Weiwei asked with a stiff tongue. "The more, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it." Li Jing's mouth was also a little awkward. While the two were talking, the figure had already rushed out of the courtyard and ran towards the opposite side of the road. "It's Tao Zi!" Li Jing exclaimed, pulling Weiwei to run towards that figure. Weiwei and Li Jing chased for about 300 meters before catching up with the figure in front of them. "Tao Zi!" Vivi gasped and shouted to the front.Hearing Weiwei's shout, the person in front suddenly stopped.Then slowly turned around, Weiwei saw that it was indeed Tao Zi! I saw Tao Zi's disheveled hair, even in such a dark night, that pale face was still clearly identifiable. "Tao Zi, what's wrong with you?!" Weiwei stepped forward and hugged Tao Zi.But Tao Zi suddenly pushed her away from him, Weiwei couldn't help but staggered, and almost sat down on the ground. Weiwei looked at Tao Zi in surprise, she never thought that Tao Zi would be so energetic. "What's wrong with you, Tao Zi!" Weiwei suddenly shouted to Tao Zi. "Don't call me Weiwei." Li Jing tugged at Weiwei's arm and said, "Didn't you see Tao Zi's eyes and the expression on her face, she must have encountered something terrible." After what Li Jing said, Weiwei took a closer look at Tao Zi.Only then did she realize that Tao Zi's big eyes had lost their usual clarity and liveliness, and had become dull, not only cloudy, but also dull.The expression on his face was the same as his eyes, dull and cold, as if he didn't know himself and Li Jing at all. Just when Weiwei and Li Jing were at a loss, Tao Zi opened his mouth at them, and the smile on his face scared Weiwei and Li Jing back several steps. "What should I do?!" Weiwei glanced at Li Jing.At this moment, Li Jing's face was pale, and sweat was dripping from her forehead. "I don't know either." Li Jing tightly grasped Weiwei's hand, and her sharp nails clasped the back of Weiwei's hand deeply. And at this moment, Tao Zi suddenly walked towards the two of them. "Ah!" Weiwei couldn't help screaming, but before her cry fell to the ground, Tao Zi's body suddenly went limp, and she fell to the ground. "Tao Zi!" Weiwei hurried up and picked Tao Zi up from the ground, Li Jing also ran over and helped Weiwei carry Tao Zi to the bottom of a tree. "Tao Zi, wake up." Weiwei was so anxious that she almost cried, shaking Tao Zi's body vigorously. "Don't shake Weiwei." Li Jing stopped Weiwei and said, "Tao Zi was obviously frightened and lost consciousness. It's useless for you to shout and shake like this." "what should I do then!" "Stay here and watch. I'll go to the side of the road to see if there is a taxi." Li Jing stood up and ran to the side of the road. "Call for help!" Weiwei shouted to Li Jing from behind. "That's right, why did I forget about this?" Li Jing stopped in her tracks, took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Hao's number. "No, the phone has no signal." Li Jing dialed three times, but couldn't get through. "Look at Li Jing, there seems to be a car coming over there." Weiwei raised her hand and pointed to the south of the road.Li Jing looked back, and sure enough, she saw a car light flickering faintly. "This car must be stopped!" Li Jing rushed to the middle of the road, spread her arms, and made a gesture of blocking the car as if she was dying. "Be careful of Li Jing!" Seeing Li Jing standing recklessly in the middle of the road, Weiwei really sweated for her, and hurriedly reminded, "Stand aside, be careful that the car hits you." "I can't care so much now." Li Jing didn't listen to Weiwei's words, she still stood there persistently, "If the driver doesn't stop, then let him run over me." "You're crazy!" Seeing the approaching headlights, Weiwei hurriedly leaned Tao Zi against the tree, then stood up and ran towards Li Jing. Before Weiwei ran to Li Jing's side, a black car approached Li Jing. The car's tires let out a miserable scream on the ground, and it stopped in the middle of the road only a few tens of centimeters away from Li Jing with blue smoke. "Don't kill Li Jing!" Weiwei dragged Li Jing, who was already dumbfounded by fright, to the side of the road. The driver opened the car door and quickly ran up to Weiwei and Li Jing. "Weiwei, Li Jing, why are you two?!" the driver said in surprise. "Ah! It's Teacher Xin." Weiwei raised her head and was surprised to find that Xin Tong was standing in front of her and Li Jing. "What a coincidence!" Li Jing also came back to her senses at this moment, looking at Xin Tong excitedly. "I just came back from a friend's house." Xin Tong looked at the watch on his wrist, then looked Wei Wei and Li Jing up and down, "It's almost twelve o'clock, why are you two here?" "Don't ask so many questions, Teacher Xin." Li Jing pointed to Tao Zi who was not far away under the tree and said, "Tao Zi passed out, please send her to the hospital." "What's going on?!" Upon hearing this, Xin Tong hurriedly followed Wei Wei and Li Jing, and ran towards Tao Zi. "It's hard to say a word or two." Li Jing said while running, "It's important to save people first." The three carried Tao Zi into the car, Xin Tong put it into gear, and drove quickly towards the hospital. About forty minutes later, the car arrived at the gate of the Second People's Hospital of Jinglan City. "Tell me, both of you, what's going on?" Seeing Tao Zi being pushed into the emergency room, Xin Tong turned to Wei Wei and Li Jing and said, "It's so late, what are you doing there?" Weiwei and Li Jing, you look at me, I look at you. "Alright then, Mr. Xin, let me tell you what happened." Li Jing glanced at Wei Wei, and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Xin Tong. After listening to Li Jing's narration, Xin Tong turned his attention to Weiwei. "The last time you asked me about the small building at No. 148 Pingkang Road, is it related to what happened today?" "Yes." Vivi replied softly.She found that Xin Tong's face was ugly, she had never seen Xin Tong so serious before. "Since you know that there is a problem with that small building, why do you still go?" Xin Tong's tone was gentle, but sharp. "Tao Zi went to that small building tonight, and Weiwei and I didn't know about it beforehand." Li Jing hurriedly argued, "It's just that we couldn't get in touch with her at night, so Weiwei and I went there to find her." About an hour later, Tao Zi was pushed out of the emergency room by the doctor.Weiwei, Li Jing and Xin Tong hurried over. "How is she, doctor?" Weiwei glanced at the ashen-faced Tao Zi, raised her head and asked a doctor wearing a white mask. "It's not life-threatening." The doctor took off his mask, looked at the three people in front of him, and said, "She was just frightened, and she fainted temporarily. If there is any other problem, she still needs to stay in the hospital for further observation. You guys Who is her relative, go through the hospitalization procedures for her." "Let me do it." Xin Tong said to the doctor, "I'm her teacher, I'll do it right away." "Then come with me." The doctor led Xin Tong to an office. Tao Zi was then placed in a ward on the third floor.Sitting in front of Tao Zi's hospital bed, looking at Tao Zi's bloodless little face, Weiwei couldn't help but shed tears with distress. "Okay, Weiwei, Tao Zi will be fine." Li Jing sighed and comforted, "Thanks to Teacher Xin today, if it wasn't for him, I really don't know what would have happened." "Yes." Weiwei nodded, "Where is Teacher Xin, what about others?" "I don't know." Li Jing turned her head and glanced at the door and said, "Maybe the formalities haven't been completed yet." Just as he was talking, Xin Tong came in from the outside. "How is Tao Zi?" Xin Tong walked to the bed and looked around. "Falling asleep." Weiwei stood up and said, "Thank you, Teacher Xin, today is thanks to you, otherwise, Li Jing and I really don't know what to do." "Don't say thank you." Teacher Xin smiled at Weiwei and said, "Let's go, I'll take you two back first, and we'll talk about it later if we have anything to do." "But we're leaving, what about Tao Zi?" Weiwei glanced at Tao Zi with some concern. "It's okay." Xin Tong said, "I'll stay here tonight, you guys go back and rest first." "The two of us should stay here." Li Jing said hastily. "If you tell you to go back, you should go back quickly." Xin Tong's tone was unquestionable, he waved at Wei Wei and Li Jing and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to school." Seeing that Xin Tong insisted on staying, Weiwei glanced at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, then listen to Teacher Xin. Let's go back first and come back tomorrow." Xin Tong sent Wei Wei and Li Jing back to school, then drove back to the hospital. Wei Wei and Li Jing returned to the dormitory, neither of them had a good night's sleep.When the dawn of the next day arrived, the two of them left the school early and went to the Second People's Hospital of Jinglan City. When Weiwei and Li Jing came outside Tao Zi's ward, they saw Xin Tong sitting on a bench in the corridor with his eyes closed. "Mr. Xin, is Tao Zi awake?" Weiwei walked up to Xin Tong and asked in a low voice. Xin Tong shivered violently, opened his eyes and looked at Weiwei and Tao Zi, yawned and said, "I woke up once in the middle of the night, but fell asleep again soon. Just now the doctor gave Tao Zi another comprehensive examination." , saying that Tao Zi has been greatly stimulated, and it will be difficult to recover in a short while, so it is recommended that Tao Zi be transferred to a mental hospital for treatment." "Psychiatric hospital?!" Weiwei said with wide-eyed eyes, "It's full of lunatics, Tao Zi would be fine if she went there?" "Don't talk about Weiwei like that." Xin Tong glanced at Weiwei and said, "The psychiatric hospital is a professional hospital for treating mental illness. The doctor came to me just now and told me that it is best to go to a professional hospital for Tao Zi's situation. Treatment, which will also help her recovery." "Ah?!" Weiwei couldn't believe her ears, "Mr. Xin, do you mean that Tao Zi's illness is very serious?" "At least that's what the doctor suggested." Xin Tong rubbed his temples and said, "Since the doctor can say that, I think it's necessary." "Okay, don't talk so much for now." Xin Tong stood up from the stool and said, "Go in and have a look first. I'll go back to school. I have to report to the leader for such a big incident." "What's more." Xin Tong thought for a while and said, "Don't gossip about this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and have a bad influence on the school." "Understood Teacher Xin." Wei Wei and Li Jing nodded, Xin Tong took another look into the ward, then turned and walked downstairs.
