Chapter 4 Peeling an Apple(1/2)
"Oh, wait, let's turn it on. It's better to turn on the air. If anything happens, it's easier to call the nurse."
"That's right."
"Master, didn't you go on a blind date on my behalf? Why did you come back so soon?"
"Stop talking, the lights in the coffee shop suddenly broke and scared the girls away. I originally wanted to have a cup of coffee before leaving. Your friend might be worried that no one would take care of you, so he gave me two yuan and took the bus back.
.”
"Has the driver seen you?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng's expression suddenly changed.
His voice was a little unusual.
"Does it matter whether you saw it or not? Or do you think I will silence you?"
"That's not true. Master, I know your character. You would never harm an innocent citizen like me."
Fatty was sweating profusely.
"Fat boy, are you hot?" Qiu Sheng's knife to peel the apple suddenly stopped.
"It's just sweating."
Fatty raised his fat hand and wiped his forehead. Feeling that his entire momentum had been suppressed, he gritted his teeth and tried to turn his back on the guest.
"Master, I'm curious, are you here... just to help the old man drive away ghosts?"
"Have you ever heard a word?"
"What?"
"Pry less and you'll save your life."
"..."
Fatty nodded, picked up his cell phone, and using the cover of the table, he wrote a large text in the dialog box where he was chatting with the 'Huang Fu Avatar'.
Just as he was about to press send with his thumb, Qiu Sheng put a hand on Fatty's shoulder, and the phone instantly slipped across his palm and hit the place where he had just undergone surgery, causing his mouth to open wide in pain.
Qiu Sheng fed the peeled apple to Fatty's mouth and stuffed his open mouth.
"Fat boy, are those words I just said cool? Did you teach them on TV?"
"Uh-huh...uh-huh..."
"I also know he is handsome."
Fatty bit the apple, picked up his cell phone with trembling fingers, and reached for the emergency bell with his other hand.
"What do you want to do? Call the nurse and I will help you. How close is this place?"
Fatty, with tears in his eyes, didn't dare to move much. He nodded and let Qiu Sheng go out and call the nurse.
After a while, Fatty saw that Qiu Sheng had only brought a nurse, and he fainted.
"Fat boy, fat boy!"
In the middle of the night, the need to urinate woke up the sleeping fat boy. He pushed the bottle and hobbled towards the public toilet.
"Who has been defecating in the toilet for so long? He has defecated everything after such a long time, which makes me have to walk so far."
Hospital corridors are usually lit at night, but the closer you get to the public toilets, the darker the lights become.
The cool breeze blowing from the direction of the morgue made the fat boy in a long coat feel even more chilly, and there were scattered footsteps following behind him.
"Isn't that right? Master, do you want to go to the toilet with me? If you want to go together, then go together. Don't show up suddenly. I usually don't like to watch horror movies."
The grumbling fat boy turned around and found that there was no one behind him, only an empty corridor and the sound of dripping water.
Just when it was time to breathe a sigh of relief, Fatty, who was standing alone, felt his heart tighten and his scalp became even more numb.
He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and slowly moved the bottle rack. This time, the footsteps following behind him became clearer.
The cell phone ringtone rang like an explosion.
"Hey, who is it?"
"I heard you were looking for me."
After being stunned for half a second, Fatty recognized the voice.
"Ah Jin, my savior finally appeared, thank God."
"Are you crazy? You actually called me the savior."
"I'm not 100% sure yet. Are you free recently? Come to the hospital to visit and check the authenticity."
"I don't have that ability, and I don't believe in this, but I can introduce you to a friend. However, let me tell you in advance, that person's mouth is full of oil. Don't believe it no matter what he coaxes you to buy."
"Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to come, I will wait for you as soon as possible. If I can't find anyone, I don't know if I will die of pain or fear."
"Let's talk in detail when we meet."
"okay."
The lights in the hospital's public toilets were very dim. Only one of the two light tubes was on. Fatty put away the phone and looked at the men's toilets by the light. There was no one there except a mess.
"It's safe, release the water! As long as the master is not here, it will be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange gust of wind slammed the toilet door that was supposed to be blocked with bricks.
The only light tube was out, and the entire toilet was pitch black.
"Who! Whoever dares to pull this kind of prank, come out!"
The panic-stricken Fatty pulled down his pants and got defensive toward the toilet door.
The closed toilet door creaked slightly in the silence with the wind, and the weird atmosphere was brought to its climax.
Suddenly, there was a sound behind him.
Fatty turned around and saw a pair of eyes flashing strangely outside the window.
"Watermelon! It can't be you, Master, you, you are a man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the toilet door opened, and Qiu Sheng was standing at the door, holding a roll of toilet paper in his hand.
"Fat boy, you are shouting so loudly in there, are you running out of paper?"
"No, weren't you over there just now? Did you come back so quickly?"
The fat boy held up his pants and subconsciously covered his stuffy heart.
"Which side was I supposed to be on just now?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't need the paper, I want to go back to the ward."
That night, Fatty lay in the hospital bed and never slept.
The nurse was afraid that too much noise in the ward would affect other patients' rest, so the TV was turned off early. If other patients wanted to watch the World Cup, they could only watch it with headphones and their mobile phones.
Fatty kept looking at Ah Sheng who was standing guard next to him, and found that he didn't need to sleep at all. He was always in high spirits and kept looking through the diary with the blood-stained cover.
Finally, on the afternoon of the next day, Fatty welcomed his savior.
Ah Jin brought someone to him, who was dressed very ordinary, with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and a red rope pierced with jade hanging around his neck.
"Introducing to you, Diego."
"Hello, hello, I finally have this noble man of yours here. Can you go in and get to the point? He just left and will be back soon."
"explain."
Fatty didn't dare to go into too much detail. After all, bodyguards had to keep the orders confidential, so he avoided the important and briefly described the strange things that happened around him.
Ah Jin sat aside and quietly observed the two people talking.
"Are you saying that this friend in distress refuses to leave? And he keeps pestering you?"
"Friend? Don't count. I just met him a few days ago. His whereabouts are very strange. He goes everywhere very quickly. He is obviously outside the toilet, but he is at the door in the blink of an eye. We told him to hurry up and he should be back later."
"Also showing up during the day? Can people around see him?"
"I can't say for sure, but there are indeed a few people besides me who can see him."
"Then his magic power is very deep. It is not common for ghosts to appear during the day. Maybe they are hiding somewhere and watching us. This talisman is given to you. It can keep you safe temporarily, but in the long run, your fate will be
…”
Fatty grabbed the master's hand excitedly, his eyes shining.
"Master, you must have a way to save me."
"Actually, I can help you become a mage, but the cost..."
Hearing this, Ah Jin, who was sitting next to him, shook his head.
But Fatty couldn't see it at all.
"Do it, do it, how much does it cost?"
"Talk about money? You and Ah Jin are brothers, and you and I are naturally brothers too. I will definitely help you get a discount. Come on, hang up this string of jade beads to suppress evil and demons first. It's only 2,800. The rituals will be calculated separately."
