Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Danger signs are all true!

I stayed for a long time, unable to speak out, until Tang Ming called me a few more times, and I said: "Yes, I will definitely come, which hospital?" Tang Ming told me the name of the hospital, and added: "I still need to inform some uncles." I didn't ask him who to call, I put down the phone and went out immediately.When I walked out the door, I felt cold all over my body as if I had walked into an ice cellar. Is human life really such a child's play?Two hours ago, Tang Yuehai was still doing well, but all of a sudden, he died? I felt myself in a trance, so instead of driving myself, I hailed a street car and went straight to the hospital.

Getting off the car at the entrance of the hospital, I saw another street car coming. Before the car stopped, the door opened, and a person came out in a hurry. It was Dr. Le Sheng. I hurriedly called out, "Doctor!" Dr. Le Sheng raised his head to look at me, his expression was pale, we walked towards the hospital without saying a word, there were many reporters in the hospital lobby, some of them recognized Dr Le Sheng, and rushed to greet him, but Le Sheng Dr. Sheng said nothing, just walked forward. Dr. Le Sheng and I came to the door of the mortuary, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, I turned my head to look, and saw Ruan Yao also rushing over angrily.

A tall and thin young man stood up from a chair outside the morgue and introduced himself: "I am Tang Ming." His eyes are red, but it can be seen that he is the kind of person who can withstand sudden blows.I said, "Where is your father's body?" Tang Ming pointed to the door of the mortuary, and I took a deep breath before walking in with Dr. Le Sheng and Ruan Yao, and Tang Ming followed behind us. From the expressions on the faces of Dr. Le Sheng and Ruan Yao, I can see that their mood is the same as mine, that is: our surprise and fear are better than sorrow. Naturally, Tang Yuehai was our good friend, and his death made us feel deeply sad.However, because his death came so suddenly, we all feel that there must be an extremely bizarre inside story about this matter. We can't tell the specific facts about this kind of thinking, but we just feel it in our hearts. Strangely disorienting, and because of this, we dilute our grief at his death.

The atmosphere in the mortuary is extremely gloomy. No matter how lofty a person's status or glory was during his lifetime, when he is lying on the concrete platform in the hospital mortuary, he becomes nothing. No more, all the dead are the same. After we entered the mortuary, we stopped for a while. Tang Ming was following us. At this time, he passed us and came to the cement platform, in front of his father's body. We walked forward slowly, those few steps seemed to us miles away, our steps were extremely heavy, this was the distance between life and death, it was too far and too unpredictable up.

Tang Ming waited until we were all standing in front of the concrete platform, and then slowly lifted the white cloth covering Tang Yuehai's body, so that we could see Tang Yuehai's face. When he was doing that, he turned his head away, and when we saw Tang Yuehai's face, we were all shocked. Of course, the face of a dead person is not easy to see anywhere, but Tang Yuehai's face at this moment is especially ugly, his mouth is wide open, his eyes are also staring, the eyeballs have lost their brilliance, as if they are still staring Looking at something, this is a look full of horror, this look froze on his face, he clearly died in extreme panic.

We all took a deep breath together. The strange smell of medicine in the mortuary made me feel sick.I wanted to say a few words, but no sound came out. Tang Ming seemed to be much calmer than us. He turned his head slowly, glanced at us, and then put down the white cloth. We sighed at the same time again, and Dr. Le Sheng struggled to speak a word, he was speaking to Tang Ming.He said, "Don't be sad, young man, don't be sad!" Tang Ming showed a very strange expression: "I'm naturally sad, but I'm even more surprised, why did my father die suddenly?" The three of us looked at each other, naturally we couldn't answer Tang Ming's question, but in fact, we were going to ask Tang Ming with this question!

Ruan Yao just kept scratching his head, and I said, "No matter what, this is not the place to talk." My words won the agreement of everyone, everyone nodded together and walked out. When we left the morgue, Tang Ming was summoned by the hospital staff to go through a lot of formalities. The three of us, Ruan Yao and Dr. Le Sheng, walked up and down the corridor like fools. Forty minutes later, Tang Ming came back. He said, "The formalities have been completed. The funeral home's car is coming soon. The three of you are—" Ruan Yao first said: "We will go together naturally, we are old friends with him!"

Tang Ming looked at me for a long while before nodding. I haven't spent much time with Tang Ming, but I already feel that Tang Ming is a very thoughtful and intelligent young man. The next hour was spent between hectic and chaotic, until we came to the funeral home together, and the make-up artist began to make up Tang Yuehai's body, and we had a chance to calm down. Here, the "we" I refer to are four people, namely: me, Ruan Yao, Dr. Le Sheng, and Tang Ming. We sat together in the lounge of the funeral home. At this time, the obituary had not yet been sent out, so of course no mourner would come, so it was very deserted. We sat without anyone speaking.

After a while, I said, "Tang Ming, what did your father do after he came home?" Tang Ming looked up at me first, then immediately lowered his head: "I don't know. When he came back, I was reading in the room. I heard him open the door and walk in. I called him and he agreed. I just walked into his own room." I asked: "At that time, what was different about him?" Tang Ming shook his head: "No, or I can't see it. He passed by my door, and I saw his profile, as if nothing happened, just like usual, and then—" Tang Ming paused for a while when he spoke up to this point.The three of me, Ruan Yao and Dr. Le Sheng couldn't help but became tense and straightened up.After a short pause, Tang Ming immediately continued: "Then, about half an hour later, I suddenly heard him screaming in the room—"

Tang Ming frowned at this point, paused for a moment, and said again: "I should use some adjectives to describe his cry, his cry, it seems... very scary, like encounter There was an accident. As soon as I heard his cry, I immediately went to his house and asked him what happened, but he said nothing and told me to ignore him." I also frowned: "You didn't push me away. Check out the door?" Tang Mingdao: "I did it. Although he said nothing happened, his cry was really shocking, so I opened the door to see what happened." Ruan Yao and Dr. Le Sheng asked in unison: "So, what happened?"

Tang Ming shook his head: "No, nothing happened, he was the only one in the room, but his expression looked a little strange, his face was very red, as if he had drunk a lot of wine." I said, "Is it the blush caused by fear?" Tang Ming shook his head and said: "From the situation at that time, his expression doesn't look like fear, but rather extreme excitement!" Me, Ruan Yao, and Dr. Le Sheng glanced at each other, but we didn't make a sound, because even if we were asked to ask questions, we didn't know what to ask. Tang Ming continued: "I asked at the time, Dad, are you really okay? He looked very impatient and waved his hands: 'It's okay, I said it's okay, but it's okay, go out and leave me alone!' I stepped back When I arrived in my room, I was still wondering about it, and at this moment, I heard his second call." When Tang Ming spoke up to this point, his breathing gradually became short of breath.Obviously, what he said further down must be thrilling. We held our breath and looked at him. Tang Ming said again: "This time, I heard his call and rushed out immediately. I pushed the door without knocking, but the door was locked. I shouted loudly. Calling him, there was no response in the room, so I slammed on the door vigorously, and when I knocked the door open, I found that he had fallen to the ground!" I lost my voice: "Already dead?" Tang Mingdao: "Not yet, I hurried to his side and helped him up. At that time, he was not dead, but he was panting quickly and died after speaking a few words." The three of us were silent. Tang Ming raised his head and looked at us with a serious expression. He said slowly: "The few words he said before he died are related to the three of you!" The three of us looked at each other again, Ruan Yao was impatient and asked, "What did he say?" Tang Ming frowned again, and said, "I don't quite understand what he said, but you three must understand. He called my name and said, 'You must remember to tell Dr. Le Sheng, Wesley and Ruan Yaosan Personally, those danger signs are all real, don't take any more risks'!" When Tang Ming said that sentence, I don't know how the other two felt, but I only felt a chill, pouring down from top to heel, and in an instant, my spine Cold sweat broke out on his face, and his hands clenched tightly into fists. After Tang Ming spoke, he kept watching our reaction, but the three of us seemed to be stiff. Tang Mingdao: "He just said those few words before he died. You three, what did those few words before he died mean?" We still haven't answered him. For a person who doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter, it is naturally not an easy task to understand what Tang Yuehai said before he died. However, to me, the meaning of Tang Yuehai's few words before his death was no longer clear. The "those danger marks" he mentioned naturally referred to the danger marks drawn on Rollo's map near the small area painted in gold. On the expedition map, this kind of danger mark means extreme danger, a trap that can kill the explorer! Tang Yuehai was talking about those marks! However, after understanding the meaning of Tang Yuehai's words, my thoughts became more confused and disordered. Because, we already know for sure that Rollo's mysterious map depicts Ruan Yao's garden, and that small piece painted with gold is the base of a pavilion that has been demolished, and those danger marks, It is distributed around the base of the pavilion. At that time, the few of us never took these danger signs to heart, because we couldn't see the slightest danger. It was also because of this that Tang Yuehai uncovered a stone slab at the location of one of the dangerous marks. And when Tang Yuehai lifted the slab, nothing happened.It can be said that at that time, we never took the danger marks on the map to heart! However, Tang Yuehai's sudden death happened now! It was Tang Yuehai who lifted the slate with the danger mark, he died suddenly, and before he died, he said that, we must never go into danger again. So, Tang Yuehai died because he was in danger? However, all he did was lift up a slab of grass on the grass, and nothing happened at that time, nothing really happened!If it is said that because a dangerous mark is marked on that place on Rollo's map, then people will die because of it, this is really unimaginable. However, what is happening before our eyes is such an incredible thing! Tang Ming was still looking at us, but we still didn't make a sound. I believe that Dr. Le Sheng and Ruan Yao must also understand the meaning of those few words Tang Yuehai said before he died, and their hearts must be more chaotic than mine, let alone why! It was Tang Ming who spoke first, and he said, "What did my father do? He once went to explore a very dangerous place?" I smiled wryly: "Tang Ming, I need to answer your question with a long narrative." Tang Ming immediately said: "Then, please speak immediately." After he said this, he paused for a while, maybe he thought it was not very polite to speak to me like this, so he said again: "Because I am eager to know why he died suddenly!" The whole thing is really something that is hard to be believed even if it is told, but since Tang Ming has lost his father in this matter, he has the right to know what happened. I glanced at Ruan Yao and Dr. Le Sheng, and felt that if Dr. Le Sheng spoke about the whole matter, he might not be able to convey the meaning. If Ruan Yao spoke, it would be even more disorganized. It is better for me to talk about it. So, I started talking about Rollo's death, and kept talking until we found Rollo's map, which showed Ruan Yao Garden. Of course, I also said that Tang Yuehai uncovered a stone slab at the place marked with danger on the map. Tang Ming has been listening attentively. After I finished speaking, his expression was a little excited, his hands clenched into fists: "You three, you all know that this is a dangerous thing, why don't you stop him?" The three of us looked at each other, and I said: "Tang Ming, although there are danger marks on the map, in fact, we can't see any danger. Professor Tang must also think that there is no danger. That's why he is so made!" Tang Ming's face was very red: "If there is no danger, why did Luo Luo solemnly put a danger mark on the map? My father's death was due to your negligence." Tang Ming accused us like this, Dr. Le Sheng and I frowned and felt embarrassed, but we didn't say anything, but Ruan Yao couldn't hold his breath anymore. Ruan Yao said: "I don't know why Rollo drew this map, and I don't know why he added danger marks on the map. But the fact is: there will never be any danger in my garden!" Tang Ming was very stubborn. He retorted unceremoniously: "The fact is that my father is dead." I shook my hands hurriedly: "Okay, let's argue. I believe the hospital has already reached a conclusion on the cause of Professor Tang's death." Tang Ming sighed: "Yes, the doctor said that he died of a heart attack. Many unexplained deaths, the doctor said that. Another fact is: my father didn't have a heart attack at all!" I also sighed: "Perhaps we are all responsible for your father's death, but I absolutely cannot believe that he caused his death because he turned over that stone slab." When I was talking here, I paused for a while, and then said: "There are more than a dozen places marked with danger marks on the map. I can also try it to see if I will die." Ruan Yao was obviously a little angry. After hearing what I said, he said loudly: "I'll try it. It happened in my garden. If anyone should be responsible, then I will be responsible!" After Ruan Yao said those few words, the atmosphere became very stiff. After a few minutes, Tang Ming said slowly: "No need, when my father was dying, he told you not to take any more risks. I think he If so, it must be reasonable, there must be some mysterious factor that we don’t know, which will prompt people to die suddenly, and the situation is like—” Before he finished speaking, I said, "Just like the ancient pyramids in Egypt, people who entered would die mysteriously?" Tang Ming nodded, but Ruan Yao laughed exaggeratedly: "I'm not afraid, I'm going now!" He is such a short-tempered person, he wanted to do it as soon as he said it, and he stood up immediately. I grabbed him and said, "Even if you want to try, don't be in a hurry, what are you busy with!" Ruan Yao still looked lucky, he sat down, we all stopped talking, my thoughts were in a mess, until it was almost dawn, I leaned against the arm of the chair and dozed off for a while. Then, it was dawn.Tang Yuehai is a well-known figure in the academic circles, and visitors came one after another. Tang Ming and we were both busy. Until that night, we were all exhausted. Tang Yuehai's coffin was also buried. On our way home, Ruan Yaocai said: " How about going to my house?" I know what he is thinking, he wants to move something based on the dangerous marks on the map, to prove that Tang Yuehai's death has nothing to do with his garden. I also think that Tang Yuehai's death should not have any direct relationship with Ruan Yao's garden. Since Tang Yuehai's cause of death was a "heart attack", then before he died, he might have subconsciously babbled nonsense.However, the fact is that Tang Yuehai is dead, so I dare not agree with Ruan Yao's words. I knew that if we didn't go to his home with Ruan Yao, then the first thing he would do after returning home would be to "take risks". Although the possibility of him being in danger is almost zero, but if another unfortunate thing happens, Dr. Lesheng and I will feel overwhelmed! Dr. Le Sheng and I obviously thought the same thing, we looked at each other, nodded together and said: "Okay!" Ruan Yao was driving the car, and as soon as he heard our agreement, he drove straight to his home. He walked straight forward when he got out of the car, and took out the photo of the map from his pocket. When he came to the garden, several servants had already greeted him, Ruan Yao waved his hands and said, "Lights on, all the lights!" Several servants left as ordered, not long after, all the lights were turned on, the mercury lamps illuminated the garden very brightly, Ruan Yao walked forward about ten steps, and then stopped. Dr. Le Sheng and I have been following behind him. After he stood still, he waved his hands and said, "Look, there is a danger sign where I am standing now. Look, don't you?" Dr. Le Sheng and I were looking at the picture of the map in his hand. Ruan Yao was standing about ten yards away from the pavilion, and on the left side of that place was a plant of Jiulixiang. On Luo Luo's map, where Ruan Yao was standing, there was indeed a danger mark. Dr. Le Sheng and I both nodded, and Ruan Yao looked down: "Ha, this young man Tang Ming should be there too. Now you can see that where I stand, there is nothing but grass!" We all saw, not only saw, but also saw very clearly, indeed, where he stood, was a meadow, and there was nothing but soft green grass. Ruan Yao shouted again: "Bring a shovel, I want to dig a hole here!" He shouted again: "Get a shovel quickly!" A servant responded and hurried away, while Ruan Yao had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to dig the ground! At that moment, an extremely strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart. Although Ruan Yao is a hot-tempered person, under most circumstances, he is a very easy-going person, and he should never be so excited and serious. At this time, if Tang Ming was here, his situation would be understandable.However, Tang Ming was not there. Ruan Yao's situation at this time made me feel familiar, it was unusual, and it was different from his previous personality, it was like——When I thought of this, I was suddenly shocked! I remembered, the situation was just like the situation when Tang Yuehai was here, trying to lift up that stone slab! At that time, Tang Yuehai's actions also gave me a strange feeling.Tang Yuehai is usually a calm person and a typical scholar.But at that time, he ignored people's dissuasion, and was so excited that he had to lift up the slate. I can still remember the situation when he pushed me away and his face flushed because of excessive force! This is exactly what Ruan Yao is doing now! My heart was pounding. At this moment, a servant came to Ruan Yao with a shovel. Ruan Yao stretched out his hand and took the shovel. At the same time, he pushed the shovel away roughly. servant. He took the shovel in his hand and dug hard into the ground. At that moment, I suddenly shouted: "Slow down!" As I screamed, I kicked up the shovel with a "dang" sound, and kicked the shovel upwards. Ruan Yao also took a step back. He froze for a moment: "What are you doing?" I said, "Ruan Yao, why do you take risks?" Ruan Yao laughed: "Dig a hole here, what's the danger?" I hurriedly said: "Ruan Yao, your emotions were very excited just now, which is different from your usual, what strange feeling do you have in your heart?" Holding a shovel in his hand, Ruan Yao stood there blankly. After a while, he said, "No, did I do something strange?" I said, "I can't say it's anything special, but your behavior is rough, just like before Professor Tang was about to lift that slate the day before yesterday." Ruan Yao stayed for a while, then shook his head and said, "Nothing, I don't think there is anything unusual about me?" Dr. Le Sheng stayed silent all the time, and then he said: "Perhaps, people will become different when they stand in places with dangerous marks on the map!" Ruan Yao and I looked at Dr. Le Sheng together. What Dr. Le Sheng said was completely incomprehensible, but it cannot be said that it was completely unreasonable, because when Tang Yuehai pushed me away that day, He was standing on that slate! I want to stand there, but Dr. Le Sheng has already stepped forward and stood on it. I saw him frowning, and suddenly let out a muffled grunt. Then, he looked down at his feet. There was nothing unusual about the grass under his feet. I said loudly, "What are you thinking?" Dr. Le Sheng didn't answer. I came to him and pushed him hard. He fell a step away and said, "What were you thinking just now? Why didn't you speak?" Dr. Le Sheng took a breath: "It's hard to say, you stand on it and see for yourself." I immediately took a step across and stood up. When I got on it, I didn't feel anything special, but almost immediately, I felt very restless.The feeling of anxiety is indescribable, as if the sky is getting hotter suddenly, I wish I could take off my clothes immediately. Then, I looked down and felt a strong urge to dig out where I was. At that time, a special expression must have appeared on my face, because I heard Dr. Lesheng yelling in horror: "Go away!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand to push me, but I pushed him away hard, causing him to fall. Immediately afterwards, a person came towards me and bumped into me so hard that I fell a step. And just after I fell a step, everything returned to normal, and I also saw that it was none other than Ruan Yao who knocked me one step away. When Ruan Yao bumped into me, he must have used a lot of force, so he could hardly stand still, and it was Dr. Le Sheng who supported him. After all three of us stood still, we looked at each other with an indescribable strange feeling in our hearts. For a moment, no one knew what to say. After a while, Ruan Yao scratched his head and said, "I really don't understand what's going on." Dr. Le Sheng said, "I don't understand either!" The two of them looked at me while saying "I don't understand".I knew what they meant, and thought that I had experienced many strange things, and there might be a reasonable explanation for this incident.But I obviously let them down. Because I was equally baffled, my answer to them was just shaking my head and wryly smiling. Ruan Yaojibin scratched his head: "The three of us have all stood here before, and this place looks no different from other places, but on Luoluo's map, there is an extremely dangerous mark on it, Yes or no?" Dr. Le Sheng and I both nodded: "Yes!" Ruan Yao waved his hands: "The three of us, after standing here, felt an urge to dig down and have a look, didn't we?" Ruan Yao is not an organized person, not only is he not organized, he is even a bit messy.But at this time, what he said was very organized, so Dr. Le Sheng and I continued to nod our heads. Ruan Yao looked at us, spread his hands, and raised his voice: "Then what are we waiting for, why don't we dig down to see what's in the ground, so that people standing above can have such thoughts!"
