Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Weird House

Weiwei and Li Jing walked into the ward, and saw Tao Zi lying on the bed, her eyes closed tightly, her face was a little more relaxed than before, not so pale.But his expression was still a little tense, and he fell asleep with a slightly heavy breathing. Weiwei sat next to Tao Zi, and gently held Tao Zi's hand.She found that although Tao Zi was sleeping, her hands were still trembling slightly.Weiwei's eyes were red, and tears fell down immediately. "I'm sorry Tao Zi." Weiwei choked up, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you so much to make you like this."

"We can't blame you, Weiwei." Li Jing comforted from the side, "Tao Zi is too reckless, she ran to that ghost place alone without discussing with us." "Stop blaming her." Weiwei looked up at Li Jing and said, "She also went there for me, Li Jing, I feel like a sinner now, I really don't know what to do .” "Okay Weiwei, don't blame yourself too much." Li Jing stroked Weiwei's shoulder and said, "Tao Zi should be fine." While the two were talking, they suddenly found Tao Zi moved on the bed, and then saw Tao Zi's mouth move, muttering something vaguely.

"Tao Zi, Tao Zi." Weiwei leaned forward, put her face in front of Tao Zi, and asked in a low voice, "How are you, Tao Zi, are you feeling better? I'm Weiwei." Under Weiwei's call, Tao Zi finally opened her eyes.But Weiwei could see that Tao Zi's eyes were dull, as if ignoring her in front of her. "Tao Zi, I'm Li Jing, can you recognize me?" Li Jing also moved her head closer. Tao Zi still didn't respond, and kept mumbling. "Weiwei, listen carefully, what is Tao Zi talking about?" Weiwei put her ear close to Tao Zi's mouth, but she didn't understand a word after listening for a long time.

Weiwei shook her head towards Li Jing, Li Jing sighed, and sat down on the accompanying bed next to her. At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and several doctors in white coats walked into the ward. "Doctor, is Tao Zi really going to a psychiatric hospital?" Wei Wei hurriedly stood up and asked a doctor who was walking in front. "I'm afraid that's the case." The doctor walked up to Tao Zi, shook his hand in front of Tao Zi's eyes, then opened Tao Zi's eyelids and said, "Based on the current situation, we recommend that the patient Transfer to another hospital. Our hospital is not a specialized hospital for treating this disease, and our clinical experience is not very rich, and the treatment method is also very simple. If transferred to a specialized hospital, it will be of great help to her recovery."

The doctor glanced at Weiwei and Li Jing, and then said, "What is the relationship between you and the patient?" "We are her classmates." Li Jing replied. "What about her family?" "Her family is out of town, and our school leaders may be in touch with her family." "Well." The doctor nodded and said, "You stay here with her first, and if there is anything, please notify the nurse in time." The next day, under the arrangement of the school, Tao Zi was transferred to Jinglan City Mental Hospital for further treatment. Tao Zi's parents rushed to Jinglan City by plane that night after receiving the school's notice.When Weiwei was accompanying Tao Zi in the ward, Tao Zi's parents, accompanied by Vice Principal Zhang, walked into the ward.

As soon as Tao Zi's mother saw her daughter, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she stroked Tao Zi's head with her hands, sighing nonstop.Weiwei couldn't stand it any longer, she shed tears silently, and walked out of the ward. The night fell quietly, the autumn wind was bleak, the yellow leaves were withered, and there was a desolate air of decay in the air.Weiwei sat alone in front of the window, looking out of the dark window, thinking of a series of things that happened during this period, she couldn't help feeling sad. Li Jing was asked out by Pei Hanwen, and Weiwei was the only one left in the dormitory.Looking at the deserted room and the empty beds, thinking that the lively scene in the past would no longer exist, Weiwei couldn't control herself anymore, she threw herself on the bed and cried.

After a while, Weiwei stopped crying and sat up on the bed.She got dressed, wiped the tears on her face with a towel, and walked out of the bedroom. When Weiwei came to Tao Zi's ward, Tao Zi's parents were standing in the corridor, seeming to be talking about something. "Uncle, aunt. How is Tao Zi?" "It's Weiwei, Tao Zi is awake, but she is still not conscious." Tao Zi's father said, "Go in and have a look, you and her are good friends, maybe she can tell you something." Weiwei walked into the ward, and saw Tao Zi half lying on the bed, staring blankly at the opposite wall.

"Tao Zi, are you better?" Weiwei walked gently to Tao Zi's bedside, "I'm Weiwei, can you talk to me?" Tao Zi slowly turned her face away, her eyes fixed on Wei Wei. "There are ghosts, many people have died, and Manman is also there." Tao Zi murmured to Weiwei. Suddenly, Tao Zi seemed to be possessed by a demon, and her small face became distorted in an instant. Filled with fear, he yelled at Weiwei, "Run Weiwei, he is about to catch up, run!" While Tao Zi was talking, she suddenly stretched out her hands and pushed towards Weiwei forcefully.

"Ah!" Weiwei was caught off guard, stepped back a few steps, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.Tao Zi's parents, who were outside the ward, heard the movement and rushed in.Tao Zi's father ran to the bed and hugged Tao Zi tightly in his arms: "Tao Zi, it's all right, good girl, it's all right, it's all right..." At this time, the doctors and nurses on duty also ran in. "Quick, 100mg intramuscular injection of chlorpromazine." The doctor turned to the nurse and said to Tao Zi's parents and Wei Wei, "Please go out first, the patient needs to be quiet."

Weiwei and Tao Zi's parents walked out of the ward. "How can I do this!" Tao Zi's mother lay on the door and looked in, and Tao Zi's father also sighed and paced back and forth in the corridor. After a while, the doctor and nurse came out of the ward and said to Tao Zi's parents, "The patient's condition is very unstable. It's best not to disturb her and let her rest more." Wei Wei leaned on the door and looked at Tao Zi, who was tortured by fear and was extremely emaciated. Suddenly, she felt a kind of courage that she had never felt before. She wiped her tears and walked quietly towards the elevator entrance.

Weiwei walked out of the hospital, came to the side of the road, and held out her hand to stop a taxi. "Master, please take me to No. 148 Pingkang Road." The driver turned off the empty lights, and the taxi drove forward in the night. Forty-five minutes later, Vivi stepped out of the taxi.She looked up at the small building standing in the dark night, bit her lip, and walked to one side along the fence of the small courtyard. The night wind is miserable, and the cold moon hangs high.Under the cover of the night, Weiwei walked carefully around the fence, looking inside while walking.The small building was the same as before, without a trace of light from the outside, and looked lonely and mysterious in the dark night. When she had just walked to the north side of the small building, she suddenly saw a black figure swaying outside the fence on the west side of the small building. Weiwei was startled, and hurriedly lowered her body and looked over there secretly. But Weiwei watched for a long time, and the black shadow just now never appeared again.And at this moment, Weiwei faintly heard a slight sound coming from the west side of the small building.Due to the angle, Weiwei couldn't see the west wall of the small building. She wanted to turn around to have a look, but she was worried about the dark shadow just now, so she had to hide in the shadow under the fence and observe the movement ahead. A thin figure appeared in Weiwei's sight.Weiwei was startled. Although she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, from the perspective of his body, he looked a lot like Du Yuchen. I saw the man walking slowly towards the southwest corner of the courtyard.Weiwei saw that this person seemed to be holding a shovel-like tool in his hand, and the sharp edge of the blade shone slightly coldly under the moonlight. Weiwei held her breath, her eyes widened, she didn't even dare to breathe, she watched that person carefully. In the southwest corner of the small courtyard is a semicircular field similar to a nursery.There are a few trees more than two meters high covering it, covering the ground in darkness, even the cold moonlight cannot penetrate. Weiwei watched the man walk into the bushes and disappeared in a flash.And at this moment, the previous black figure outside the fence appeared again, and this time Weiwei saw it more clearly than before.The figure of this black figure is more burly and muscular than the one walking towards the bushes. The black figure looked around outside the fence, as if looking for something.Weiwei hid in the corner and watched, not daring to move. After watching for a while, Weiwei found that the black shadow seemed to have given up looking, turned around and disappeared into the dark night.And at this moment, the man in the southwest corner came out of the bushes with a shovel-like tool. When the man was out of Weiwei's sight, Weiwei continued to walk west along the north side. Come to the west fence.Through the moonlight, Weiwei saw that there were only four windows on the west wall of the small building, and no doors. Weiwei couldn't help wondering, the man just appeared from the west, and then disappeared in the west, but since the small building has no door, where would he go?Could it be that he jumped out of the window?Thinking of this, Weiwei couldn't help taking a breath.Although she never believed in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods, a series of too weird things that happened during this period made her really shake her belief in herself. The fence is not very high, Weiwei observed for a while, and decided to jump in from the fence.She has already made up her mind that if she doesn't figure out the secrets in this small building tonight, she will never look back. Thinking of the scene of Tao Zi on the hospital bed, Wei Wei no longer hesitated.She grabbed the steel bars on the fence with both hands, stepped on the stone pillars beside her with her feet, and supported her body vigorously. Vivi finally jumped into the yard.She bowed her back and paused for a few seconds, then walked along the side of the fence towards the west wall of the small building where the man disappeared just now. Weiwei looked at the west wall of the small building from the north end to the south end, but found nothing unusual. "Did that person really enter through the window?" Weiwei was puzzled, she looked at the windows again, and found that they were all tightly locked from the inside.Dark heavy curtains block everything in the room from the window. "There are no ghosts, how can there be ghosts in this world?" Weiwei cheered herself up again, "Okay Du Yuchen, today I will definitely take off your ghost skin, and see if you dare to pretend to be a ghost again!" Thinking of this, Weiwei burst into a sense of arrogance from nowhere, and walked towards the gate of the small building with her chest upright. When she walked to the door of the small building and was about to reach out to ring the doorbell, she suddenly found that the door didn't seem to be closed tightly, and a dark door quietly opened before her eyes. Weiwei pushed the door with her hands, and the door slowly opened. To enter, or not to enter?Weiwei looked at the dark crack of the door, not knowing what was waiting for her. Weiwei encouraged herself again, and walked in. The dim yellow wall lamp was still on in the living room, and everything was exactly the same as before.And that familiar, faint fragrance still permeates the entire room.Weiwei walked slowly into the living room, looking around constantly. "Du Yuchen, are you there?" Weiwei's slightly trembling voice echoed clearly in the living room, but no one answered her question. Weiwei raised her head and glanced upstairs, and found that it was even darker and gloomy above, and she couldn't see anything clearly. "Du Yuchen." Weiwei shouted again, but after waiting for a while, no one responded to her. Weiwei walked upstairs along the stairs, and when she came to the second floor, she saw the room she used to stay in. She pushed open the door of the room, and saw the lingering desk lamp, still on the table next to the wall, scattering an indistinct halo downward. Weiwei saw the bed she used to lie on.The sheets were still so pale that her heart trembled.When she was about to leave the hut, she suddenly saw something lying quietly on the floor under the bed. Weiwei walked over and picked up the thing.When she put it in front of her eyes, she couldn't help being surprised! This is a bracelet worn by a girl, Weiwei can tell that it belongs to Tao Zi! Wei Wei remembers very clearly that this string of silver bracelets was bought by Tao Zi last year, and she also likes it very much. Tao Zi offered to give it to her several times, but she did not accept it. Holding the bracelet, Weiwei couldn't help but startled in a daze.She is now almost certain that before Tao Zi ran out of this small building, she must have encountered the same thing as herself, or even more terrifying.Not only that, judging from this string of bracelets, Tao Zi must have been lying on this bed. When Weiwei walked to the door of the room holding the bracelet, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the living room on the first floor! Weiwei's heart beat violently.At first she thought it was Du Yuchen, but when she listened carefully, she didn't look like it. Although the footsteps of this person were very light, they were very hesitant, as if they were looking for something without a goal. The footsteps of trampling on the floor fluctuated from left to right, as if they were not walking in a certain direction.If it was Du Yuchen, he would never wander around aimlessly in his own home. Weiwei was thinking about it when she suddenly found that the footsteps stopped.But only a few seconds later, footsteps sounded on the stairs. Weiwei took a deep breath, and hurriedly re-entered the hut, then closed the door gently. She quickly looked around the room.She didn't know if the person outside would come in, she had to find a hiding place for herself at this moment. But there is not even a cabinet in the room, and it must not work under the table. As long as the person outside comes in, he will find her.Weiwei finally turned her gaze to the bed. Sure enough, the door of the hut was pushed open by someone outside, and Weiwei hid under the bed, so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat. After the visitor entered the cabin, he stopped by the bed. Weiwei saw that this person was wearing a pair of black men's leather shoes. The smooth leather on the upper of the shoes gleamed faintly in the dark room. The black leather shoes stood by the bed for a moment, then turned and walked out of the room.Weiwei heaved a long sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to get out from under the bed, because she heard the footsteps still lingering outside the door. About another minute later, the sound of footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.Weiwei stayed under the bed for a while, and got out from under the bed after confirming that the person outside had really left. She opened the door, walked gently to the railing on the second floor and glanced down.The living room was quiet, and this suffocating silence made Vivi feel extremely depressed. She wanted to go downstairs directly and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but when she turned around, she saw that the door of a room next to her was ajar. Curiosity drove Vivi to push open the door of the room.There is also a desk lamp in the room, and the light is also dim.Weiwei hesitated at the door, then walked in slowly. When she walked into the room, she was immediately attracted by the scene inside.On one wall of this room, three oil paintings hang side by side. Because the light was too dim, Weiwei had to approach the oil painting to barely see it clearly. On the first oil painting, there is a girl with short hair.When Weiwei shifted her gaze to the face of the girl in the painting, she couldn't help being stunned! She saw herself in the oil painting. Except for the hairstyle and clothing, the girl in the painting was exactly the same as herself.The girl is wearing a blue dress and stands by a window.The background is the dark night sky and the lush foliage outside the window. Weiwei stared at the girl in the painting for several minutes.The scene in the painting made her feel so familiar. At this moment, she really felt that she was the girl in the painting, and the opposite of her was Du Yuchen who painted for her. Weiwei suddenly shivered, and hurriedly turned her gaze to the second painting. The figure in the second painting is strange, a man in his forties.The man's expression was very painful, his upper body was naked, his teeth were grinning, his face was twisted, and his body was bent.On his back was an extremely exaggerated stone tablet.It can be seen that the volume of the stele is extremely disproportionate to the body of the man in the painting. It seems that the painter intentionally put the man under such enormous pressure, or wished that the stele could crush the man in an instant.In front of the man was a pool of boiling hot water.The man's feet were already standing on the edge of the pool, and he leaned forward.Although the man has not yet fallen into the pool, judging from the man's posture on the screen, it is irreversible to be submerged in boiling water. "It's too cruel!" Weiwei couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned her attention to the third oil painting. When she saw the third oil painting, Weiwei was shocked again! On the screen are two children aged six or seven, a man and a woman.The boy was wearing a black tuxedo with a black bow at the neckline; the girl was wearing a white Victorian court wedding dress. A boy and a girl stand arm in arm, and behind them stands a priest holding a Bible. The background of the picture is dark, and the cross behind the pastor can be faintly seen. Although the scene on the screen seems to be holding a Western-style wedding, the expressions on the faces of the boy and the girl are dull, and their faces are also abnormally pale, without the joy of a wedding. "It's like the wedding doll we saw in the store, it's so beautiful!" Tao Zi's voice suddenly rang in Weiwei's ear! "Ah!" Weiwei couldn't help but took two steps back, feeling her heart beating faster and faster. She didn't dare to look any longer, everything in front of her felt so incredible. Weiwei slowly backed out of the room.She stood at the door of the room, shook her head vigorously, and then pinched her temples with her hands.She had to admit now that Du Yuchen and his small building did bring her a feeling she had never had before. This feeling was so illusory and dreamlike. It was only now that she realized that in this small building, her consciousness had never been truly awake.And in this hazy state, what she saw and heard was really too weird.She really hoped that everything she had encountered was just an illusory dream, and when she woke up from this dream, everything would return to the original, and the time would return to the moment before the summer vacation. But Manman's death and Tao Zi's hospitalization forced her to face up to everything she was facing.She admits that she is an emotional girl, but she has never allowed her sensibility to overwhelm her reason to look at things objectively. Since everything seems illusory, but all of them are real, what should I do?For the first time, Weiwei felt confused, helpless, and fearful.
