[113] The old man who died suddenly
Lao Zhangtou was on duty at night, and Zhong Kui was on day shift. After getting drunk, he had to lie down for a while with the help of alcohol.
Old man Zhang drank while working the night shift. This was the first time in his history. It seemed like a simple incident, but it still aroused Zhong Kui's suspicion. There was another thing that was strange to him. I don't know if it was because he was under a lot of pressure recently.
It could be due to overexertion or something else. Anyway, as soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep within a short time. When I woke up, my head was still dizzy and I couldn’t see clearly!
This lethargy continued for a long time, and Zhong Kui finally discovered a problem, that is, every time when Lao Zhangtou was working the night shift, he would get drunk on purpose, but on weekdays, he would not drink at all.
What is the purpose of Lao Zhangtou getting drunk? Is he not wanting to see something, or is he drinking to drown his sorrows? That is Lao Zhangtou's own business. But he has to understand what happened to Zhong Kui.
After the last conversation, it was clear that Lao Zhangtou was not a bad person. Zhong Kui decided to test him when he was not drunk and sober. If possible, it would be good to win him over and become one of his own. Two people are better than one.
.
Lao Zhangtou likes to smoke, which is the kind of leaf cigarette that has a spicy taste. When you are close to him, there is a smell of leaf cigarette on your body.
"Brother, I've always been curious about one thing..." Zhong Kui looked at the other person with sincere eyes and said with a serious expression.
Lao Zhang puffed his leaf cigarette, bah! He spat. He said with a simple smile: "Brother, what are you curious about?"
"You were on night shift, did you see anything unusual?"
"Abnormal?" Lao Zhang blinked his cloudy and gray eyes. An inquiring look cast a deep glance on his face and said, "I don't think there is anything unusual." When he replied to the other party's words, his eyes flashed.
The panic look was caught by Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui secretly said with joy: What is he afraid of? Could it be that he doesn't trust me? Thinking about this, he further said: "I found a centipede here..."
"Centipede?" Old Zhangtou said in astonishment. Then he seemed to remember something and said: "Brother, I really don't know what you are talking about. But to be honest, the old lady told me to drink some wine at night so that I can sleep..." He smacked his lips,
Embarrassed to explain: "No, I become confused when I drink. I woke up all night and forgot everything I did when I woke up in the morning."
From the look of Lao Zhangtou, it didn’t look like he was lying or deceiving people. Zhong Kui thought to himself: Could it be that Lao Zhangtou is also working the night shift without knowing it? “Brother, can you promise me something?”
When Lao Zhangtou saw the other party's expression suddenly turned serious, he blinked in surprise and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Don't drink tonight. During the night shift, pay attention to anything unusual and be careful..." Zhong Kui hesitated to point out that the problem was with the corpse.
"Brother, it's okay to just say it. Don't be secretive about what a man says." Don't look at Lao Zhangtou's confused look, but he is actually very shrewd. He can see Zhong Kui's heart at a glance.
doubts.
Okay! Give it a go. Zhong Kui said to himself. Even if something goes wrong, the worst thing is that they can break up and walk in. Chen Jun's team will be brought in to search the place thoroughly.
"I saw two things on the neck of the body, did you notice it?"
"I really haven't noticed this, tell me! He is cold and has hands and feet just like us, but he just doesn't have that tone. It's so scary, so there is still time to study the abnormality in him?"
Zhang Tou finally exposed his cowardly nature. It turned out that he was not afraid of corpses, but he concealed his instinctive fear very well.
"I've discovered something, why don't you take a closer look tonight."
"Okay, I won't drink tonight. Let me help you take a look..."
That night, the sky outside the window was gray. The clouds were pulled low by the trapped moisture, and they were weighing down on the top of the head like a ceiling that was about to collapse. The air seemed to be suffocating, with no wind at all, and all that could be smelled at the tip of the nose was obscurity.
Zhong Kui used the thin needle to prick his index finger, letting the pain keep his mind awake at all times. Tiny blood beads, like a rolling ball, rolled down on his index finger.
When it came, it instantly shattered into countless blood spots and fell to the ground. After a while, it turned into a dark red blood scab and solidified.
Lao Zhangtou promised Zhong Kui not to drink tonight. But he still followed his instructions, pretending to pick up a bottle of boiled water that looked like a wine bottle, and drank it happily.
Before Zhong Kui became confused, he could still clearly hear the shuffling footsteps of Lao Zhangtou walking on the courtyard. The footsteps seemed very old, mixed with his slight breathing. Then his consciousness seemed to gradually drift away, and there was something about Lao Zhang.
Everything in my head seemed to be in a dream, becoming unreal...
In the morning, the chirping of birds woke up Zhong Kui, who was still sleeping. He caught a glimpse of the bright white light on the window. He was startled and suddenly remembered what happened last night. I wonder if Lao Zhangtou gained anything.
?I turned over and climbed up. When I opened the door neatly, I felt dizzy.
Lao Zhangtou's dormitory is on the right side of the door, and Zhong Kui's dormitory is on the left.
Still shaking, he raised his hand and knocked on the door with "Du-Du". After knocking for a long time, there seemed to be no movement in the room. I don't know why, but when he heard no movement, Zhong Kui's heart suddenly tightened, inexplicably.
I became nervous. A slight, uneasy feeling crept into my heart...
He only pushed open the door of Lao Zhangtou's room with a strong impact. The room was very messy, judging from the messiness. He drank last night. Not only did he drink, but he was also very drunk. He still hasn't woken up yet.
Come……
Zhong Kui approached Lao Zhangtou's bed step by step. He was lifeless, and his supine position gave people an uncomfortable feeling. Especially his gray lifeless face, eyes like dead fish, half-open and half-closed... in the room
The space was filled with the smell of dead bodies, which made him stop in fear! Suddenly he felt a cold feeling on his back... He saw that at the left ear of Lao Zhangtou, there was a sticky line, which looked like an insect crawling over
trace……
Lao Zhangtou is really dead. The results of the evaluation show that he suffered cardiac arrest due to excessive drinking!
Now it was Zhong Kui's turn to worry, and at the same time he was suffering speechless torment in his heart. He regretted it endlessly. He really shouldn't have told him those secrets. He shouldn't have asked him to intervene in this matter, risking an innocent life like this.
Go in...
Lao Zhangtou's mother-in-law cried so hard that she left the nursing home a week later with Lao Zhangtou's ashes. It is said that the nursing home humanely gave her a pension.
