Chapter 6 Chapter Five: The Enlightenment of "Haunted"

I smiled wryly, and the doctor was naturally comforting me, if "doing my best" must be useful, then that would be great. In the whole matter, there are too many unpredictable factors. Even if "doing your best" is really useful, you don't know where to start. Ferrer and I have been at a loss for several days, and after talking all night, we finally came up with a plausible hypothesis—just a "probable hypothesis"—and then things took such an extraordinary turn of events. To be honest, don't say that my thoughts are extremely disordered at this time, and I can't think of what Feller saw after opening the small window and looking at the ward, which scared him so much, just calm down and go slowly Imagine, but also may not be able to imagine.

(Really, what did Ferrer see in that split second?) I just shook my head with a bitter expression and made an appointment with the doctors to see Feiler again after he received the initial treatment.Under the current situation, there is really no other way but to entrust Ferrer to those doctors—his own former colleagues. After leaving the hospital building, I went back to the bungalow. It was only a few hundred meters away, but I felt extremely tired after walking, especially when the sun was scorching and glaring, and I felt unspeakable discomfort. After entering the bungalow, Chen San immediately stood up, and I waved my hands anxiously: "To make a long story short, just now you said—"

Just now Chen San mentioned that the Zheng family's mansion is haunted by ghosts, "I don't know if the ghost belongs to the master or the young master". The "master" he said is of course Zheng Tianlu, and the "young master" is Zheng Baoyun.Zheng Baoyun is only missing, not dead yet, how could his ghost appear? (Human beings know very little about what kind of phenomenon ghosts appear. But generally speaking, ghosts appear only after people die. However, it is by no means that there is no phenomenon that the souls of living people leave their bodies. In short, it is very complicated. My reaction at this time is based on "ordinary circumstances", thinking that if Zheng Baoyun had not died, his ghost would not have appeared.)

I waved my hand vigorously again: "Master Abao is not dead, he just disappeared. You said his ghost is haunting the old house, isn't that nonsense?" Chen San got my accusation, his face flushed, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, stretched his neck, and his throat core moved up and down, as if he had a belly full of grievances, but he didn't know how to defend himself. I snorted, thinking that Chen San is an honest man, and I was agitated, so I don't need to embarrass him, so my tone softened a bit: "Say it, as long as it's not trivial." Chen San hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the study... the whole yard is empty, and there are two people living in a row of houses beside the yard—"

As he spoke, he looked at my expression, saw my frown, and hastened his words: "Those two people heard the sound of people walking around and rummaging through boxes and boxes in the study two nights earlier. They are all old servants. Naturally I thought When people come to steal things, they get up and look, and they see...see..." Because the "haunting" in Zheng's mansion is of certain importance in the whole story, and because Chen San's narration is too trivial, so he only said a small part, so I interrupted him , don’t want him to repeat it, but went to the Zheng family’s mansion with him, called one of the two servants who first discovered the “haunting”, and listened to them directly.Another servant, unfortunately, has become demented from fright.

The "haunting" incident lasted three nights in total. The first two nights were experienced by the two servants. On the third day, Chen San, the house manager, was alarmed. Chen San also experienced it on the third night. He was at a time when he didn't know what to do , The servant who came back from the hospital knew that I was there, so he rushed to the hospital to look for me.As for the chaos when he came to the hospital at the same time as Feller's accident, that was a coincidence.Let me talk about the haunting experience of the two servants first. The Zheng family mansion occupies a very large area, and the master is gone, only Chen San, who can be said to be half the master, almost all the servants are from the countryside, and all kinds of distant relatives are very loyal.The upper rooms used by the master are all empty and cleaned every day, and the rooms used by the servants are all the houses that were originally intended for them to live in.

The reason why I elaborate on this point is because the study in the Zheng family mansion is a courtyard of its own (Mrs. Zheng said that Zheng Tianlu strictly restricted people from approaching his study during his lifetime).It is a very remote corner in the mansion. When you first enter the mansion, without guidance, it is difficult to find this yard in the winding corridors. In addition to the study room, there are several rooms and living rooms in the courtyard, but the place where the servants live is built outside the courtyard wall.This design, of course, is to prevent idlers from approaching the study.

This courtyard was once the center of Zheng Tianlu's activities during his lifetime.So back then, Zheng Baoyun and I suspected that Zheng Tianlu was an alien, and when we wanted to find evidence, we searched the study very thoroughly.Finally, the key object was found, which was also in a secret cellar at the bottom of a lotus pond in the yard. After understanding the environment, one can also know that if the sound from the study room was not too loud, the servant sleeping outside the yard would not be woken up. And when they were woken up, the two looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what happened, their first thought was naturally: someone was stealing something.So they rushed out, picked up a thick wooden stick each, and rushed to the gate of the yard, after figuring out that the sound came from the study, they pushed open the door of the yard, and saw the place where the study was located. In one corner, the lights are brightly lit, and it seems that people can be seen walking, but because the flowers and trees are very lush, they can't see clearly.

It was just a feeling that there was more than one person moving in the study room, and those people kept making noises, and they didn't know what they were doing. The two servants boldly approached the study room step by step. When they came to a large clump of plantains, they could see the window of the study with just a probe, when they suddenly heard a loud voice from the study saying something they couldn't understand. These words were heard clearly in the ears of the two servants. Their legs were weak, their bodies were shaking, and they could no longer take half a step forward.

They are all old servants. They have been in the mansion since they were young. Naturally, the voice of Master Zheng Tianlu is no longer familiar. Master Tianlu's voice, this point, they will not be mistaken. When they were terrified, they no longer had the courage to go forward. When they calmed down, they didn't care what happened in the study. When they were terrified, what they thought was: since the master is here, there is no need to troublesome people, and The servant should not approach the study at all without being called. So they hurried back, each snatched wine and drank, drank dizzily, covered their heads and fell asleep, woke up the next day, looked in the study room, it was a mess, as if it had been thoroughly searched.

The two of them didn't dare to make a sound, they tidied up the messy study room, worried all day long, with restlessness in their hearts, and when it got dark, they began to drink to strengthen their courage.Until midnight, both of them were very drunk, and heard various voices coming from the yard. At this time, the two of them took advantage of the wine to strengthen their courage, and after discussing it, no matter if it is a ghost or a god, as long as it is related to Master Tianlu, they should go and see it. So, they walked straight forward with their chests straight. Although they couldn't help pushing and giving way after entering the yard, they finally approached the window of the study.At this time, they also woke up from the wine, and felt that the night was as cold as water, and the weather was never cold (it was a tropical country), but they felt chills all over their bodies.All kinds of noisy sounds came from the study, and the two of them almost wanted to retreat again, one of them was suddenly "blessed to the heart", and said loudly: "Look, there is a light on in the study, of course it can't be a ghost! There is no ghost coming to make trouble, There’s also the reason to turn on the lights.” Although there are not many people who can tell what ghosts and troubles look like, but in the traditional saying, ghosts and lights have nothing to do with each other. The two of them became more courageous, coughing, making some voices to strengthen their courage, and walked towards the window of the study. The more courageous one walked in front. There were thick curtains inside the window. Through the curtains, it seemed as if one could see the shadows of people in the study room. One came to the window first—the reason why they didn't go to the door was that they were afraid of the master's scolding, because they had heard the master's voice last night, and they were going to peep in through the crack of the window before talking. When they arrived at the window, the two split their heads to look for the gap, wanting to see the situation in the study, one searched for a while, but couldn't find a place where he could see the situation in the study, looked up to the other, and happened to see the other face stuck to the window. On the window, through the glass, the curtain hanging inside the glass suddenly lifted a small corner. With the raised corner, it was enough for the other servant to see the situation in the study, but because his face was pressed against the glass, others could not see it. (It's like Feller sees the ward through the little window in the door, and I don't.) At that moment, the servant who was looking inward suddenly stood up, with a terrible sound from his throat, his eyes were straightened, and his body turned around stiffly, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.The servant next to him was shocked when he saw it, and in a panic, he supported his companion, and found that the curtain that had been raised had been lowered again, and he could not see what was going on in the study. And even if the corner curtain had not been drawn, he confessed, he would not have dared to look at it.Because the companion had already seen it, he was so frightened, and after being supported, his body trembled, his eyes turned white, his teeth were clenched, and the corners of his mouth were foaming. The servant dragged the terrified companion out sideways, yelled and alarmed many people, and hurriedly boiled ginger soup, pried open the mouth of the fainted man, and gulped it down Wait, wait; Chen San also got up naturally, and when he heard about it, he went to the study with a few bold people, but the study was dark and there was no movement at all.Although there were many people, there was a person who was so frightened that no one dared to go into the study and had to wait until dawn. Until dawn, the servant who fainted from fright did not seem to be in danger of life, but he was not awake or fainted, with a strange "clack" sound in his throat, and his eyes were straight. The situation was similar to that of Feller , Chen San and the others believed that it was the result of seeing ghosts and evil spirits, and tried a lot of local methods, including killing chickens to get blood, burning candles and burning incense, etc., but they were not effective. After dawn, in broad daylight, people are always more courageous. Chen San got together five or seven strong male servants, and with thick sticks, they approached the study room, each yelled, and knocked open the door of the study room. , I saw that just as the servant said, the study was in a mess, as if it had been thoroughly searched. There were such strange things for two nights in a row, and one person was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth and fainted. Isn't that haunted? Chen San was experienced and well-informed, so he ordered to buy a large amount of joss paper money, and burned them in the yard outside the study for a whole afternoon.The ashes of the paper were burned, and another group of monks was invited to recite sutras until dark—after dark, most of the monks themselves were afraid, so they excused themselves and left. Chen San and the others didn't dare to stay in the courtyard, they retreated, but only concealed the door to enter the courtyard.After midnight, everyone heard various voices coming from the study. No one dared to go in to find out what happened. Chen San was very responsible, so he looked in through the gap in the door, and saw a light shining through the window of the study. At the same time, he heard someone saying something he didn't understand, but the voice was verified by several people: it was definitely the young master's voice.Therefore, Chen San was not sure whether the ghost belonged to the master or the young master. At this time, Chen San naturally also knew about Zheng Baoyun's disappearance. All he thought of was that something happened to Zheng Baoyun, and that's why he came back in his soul. After I understood all the "haunting" and looked at the fainted servant, and told him not to smear him with blood and send him to the hospital, I couldn't help but stay for a while. Of course I don't think it's "haunted". The matter is actually very simple. For three nights in a row, some people were rummaging through boxes and boxes in the study, looking for something unknown. The strange thing is that these people never hide their actions and make amazing noises. Why are they like this?There is something to rely on, and what is it to rely on?One of their reliance is naturally that they have the ability to come and go suddenly.The second reason is that even if they are discovered by others, they are not afraid. Those who see them will be frightened like that after just one glance. I can be sure that those people must be related to Zheng Tianlu, Zheng Baoyun and his son. Some people have heard Zheng Tianlu's voice, and some have heard Zheng Baoyun's voice.Zheng Tianlu is already dead, I'm afraid the voice is similar, Zheng Baoyun is missing, is he with those people? The appearance of those people, or their actions, must be extremely horrifying. I believe that what Feller saw in the ward and what the servant saw in the study were all horrifying and unbelievable sights, otherwise, You won't scare people like this just by looking at it. The outline of the matter was already formed, and those who searched for things in the study of Zheng's mansion for three days in a row were also ready to tell: they must be the same kind as Zheng Tianlu, aliens from which planet I don't know. I can even further guess their actions: they kidnapped Zheng Baoyun, but they didn't know what to look for, so they took Zheng Baoyun back and searched in the study, that's why there was Zheng Baoyun's voice. It seems that Zheng Baoyun didn't know what they were looking for, and they didn't find it. Maybe only Zheng Tianlu knew where it was.As for "Zheng Tianlu's voice" and so on, it is naturally a misunderstanding-aliens of the same species may have similar vocal structures, and their voices certainly sound the same. Under the watchful eyes of Chen San and many servants, I paced back and forth. In less than three minutes, I had summed up all the analyzes and assumptions, and I was very happy. Because he had no clue at first, and even more didn't know how to proceed after Fei Le was "bewitched", and now he has made such a big leap forward all of a sudden.This "haunted" incident has a great effect on solving the whole mystery. What I need to do now is to wait in the study and wait for those people to come. It doesn't matter whether they bring Zheng Baoyun or not, as long as I meet those aliens face to face and communicate with each other, everything will naturally come to light. I put forward my idea to Chen San, Chen San's face was pale and his expression was extremely unnatural, and none of the other servants dared to make eye contact with me when I looked at them.I knew what they were afraid of, so I said loudly, "Don't worry, I'll wait in the study alone after dark." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but Chen San still pretended to be concerned: "Mr. Wei, do you want to prepare some black dog blood?" I stared at him: "No need, if you are afraid, you can avoid it far away, no matter what noise you hear, don't come and look." Chen Sanru agreed repeatedly in response to Lun's voice, I waved them away, turned around and walked into the study. Although the study room had been tidied up a bit, it was still very messy. After I came in, I pulled a chair to sit down, and I couldn't help feeling very emotional.A few years ago, Zheng Baoyun and I also searched this study upside down, and found a key in a copper paper town by accident, and only then did we learn more about the secret. It seems that Zheng Tianlu's ability to hide things is quite great - a key hidden in a copper paper weight is really ingenious. The search of those people was also quite thorough.I just guess that they haven't reached their goal yet, and I hope so, then I will have the opportunity to meet them.If they had achieved their goal, they would naturally not come again, and the whole matter would have to become a case of no avail. Naturally, I don't take things too easily. I don't know anything about "those people". Because Zheng Tianlu is no different from people on Earth, but there were two people who were scared like this one after another, but I had to make another estimate of their appearance. Moreover, Zheng Baoyun has half the blood of "those people", but he doesn't think that "those people" are so friendly to him, otherwise, he would not ask me for help in secret. "Those people" have great supernatural powers, not only come and go without a trace, but judging from the example of Zheng Baoyun's disappearance, it is a breeze for them to kidnap a person, who knows if they have other extraordinary abilities. I was very nervous.After staying in the study for a while, I came to the guest room and called a servant loudly to prepare food and wine for me.Not long after, Chen San walked in carrying a large ancient bamboo basket, which was full of food and two bottles of good wine. Putting down the bamboo basket, he left in a hurry, I ate my fill, and lay down on the couch, planning to have a good sleep first, and at night, I could deal with "those people". Before I fell asleep, I still thought about it. The outline of the matter was based on my assumptions. As long as the assumptions were wrong, the facts would be completely different. However, under the circumstances at that time, I had no other way to think about it. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I spent the whole morning in extreme confusion. I was very tired, so it didn't take long for me to fall asleep, and I slept quite deeply. I don't know how long I slept until I woke up. When I woke up, first of all, I felt quite cool.This strange feeling made me stunned for a moment, and when I was about to open my eyes, I suddenly heard a voice from around me. It was a rather blunt but familiar voice: "He doesn't know what you want either." Where, how does he know?" As soon as I heard that voice, my heart suddenly moved. I didn't open my eyes and waited for the change.Because I recognized that it was Zheng Baoyun's voice—the reason why it sounded a bit dry and harsh was because he had lost the ability to speak for a long time, and he had only recovered recently. After his words, there was a murmur. I couldn't understand what he was talking about. Then, a voice said, "What do you mean by 'what you want'? It's what we want." The voice specially emphasized the two words "you" and "we". I immediately recalled what Zheng Baoyun said just now, and I was a little surprised.It was clear that the person who spoke was correcting Zheng Baoyun's words.In Zheng Baoyun's words, the person who spoke was not treated as the same kind, but the person who spoke corrected this point.Then, the identity of the speaker is clear, he is "those people", the same as Zheng Tianlu.Zheng Baoyun is half of their blood, they want Zheng Baoyun to be their own, but Zheng Baoyun is obviously not used to it, or he is deliberately resisting. The whole description may sound very complicated, but in fact, it is very simple. Those people are aliens, Zheng Baoyun's bloodline, half alien, half earth.The aliens wanted him to identify with the aliens, but Zheng Baoyun didn't want to do that. It's very simple, but it involves two bloodlines of aliens and earth, which can also be said to be very complicated. I really want to open my eyes a little bit to see the appearance of those aliens, but firstly, I am afraid that they will find out that I have woken up, and secondly, I am also a little afraid, if I am also petrified, things will be troublesome up. Zheng Baoyun's voice was very impatient: "You and we are not the same. I haven't seen what I'm looking for. Of course he doesn't know." The speaker snorted: "It's not the same, the blood flowing in your body is your father's blood, the same blood as ours, your body structure has begun to change, and it will soon become exactly the same as ours , you are basically our kind." Zheng Baoyun's voice sounded like he was pleading: "Don't mention it, don't mention it." Then, he gasped quickly: "I...at least half...are people from Earth." The speaker snorted: "Earthlings? Backward Earthlings can't give you anything." Zheng Baoyun argued: "Give me nearly thirty years of happy earthling life, gave me..." His voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn't go on. Naturally, he couldn't think of half of the earthling blood. Gave him something to brag about. Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly sighed. Although Zheng Baoyun is still emotionally inclined to the earthlings at this time, his other half of the alien blood will inevitably exert its influence gradually, so he can't be blamed, the earthlings are really too disappointing, there is nothing to say loud. The conversation I overheard, though only a few lines, proved that my hypothesis and Feller's hypothesis were almost entirely true. Zheng Baoyun was kidnapped by his fellow clan, and he asked me for help because he didn't want to be with the same clan, and I guess he will gradually adapt, and it seems to be gradually becoming a reality. Thinking of this, I moved a little, and was about to open my eyes, when Zheng Baoyun suddenly exclaimed: "God! Don't open your eyes."
