C13 A child locked in a rented house

At the People's Hospital, we took the elevator up to the seventh floor.

"This is the ward!"

Luo Yuping angrily walked over and just as she was about to push open the door, the landlady's voice came from inside.

"Oh, Wu Xiuying, where did you put your money? I gave you the money for your hospital. It's a lot of money."

She stopped when she heard the door open, and turned to look over her shoulder.

"Wu Xiuying, return my brother's life to me!"

As she scolded him, Luo Yuping walked in and looked at Wu Xiuying viciously.

The old man was very thin and his hair was mostly white. Judging from her appearance, she must be feeling very sad about Zhang Bo's matter these few days.

A white-haired man giving away a black-haired man was something that no one would be able to accept.

Wu Xiuying kept her head down, ignoring the landlady and Luo Yuping.

"Ahh, why did you save me? It's good that I'm dead, it's over then."

"Hmph." Brother Zhou looked at the landlady and said coldly, "You still say you don't know where he is."

The landlady's face was gloomy. She ignored Brother Zhou and said to Wu Xiuying, "Where did you put the money? I've given you quite a few thousand yuan."

The loud noise attracted the doctor's attention. "You guys be quiet. The patient needs to rest."

He just came to remind me, and then he was going to leave.

I stopped him. "How is she, Doctor?"

The doctor adjusted the frame of his glasses, "The lower leg is fractured. Go back and prepare the operation fees. If you delay it for a few more days, it will become difficult to treat."

I frowned. "She never had an operation?"

The doctor nodded. "You'd better persuade her to open up, the more money she spends."

I let go of the doctor in the hallway and walked back to the ward.

"Who do you blame? She wanted to die, so she ran into the road to stop a car. Others might have thought that she was a pengci pengci pengci pengci."

I looked up at her.

Brother Zhou tried to reason with her, "That's not what I meant. Since you knew Wu Xiuying was hospitalized, why did you lie to us and say you didn't know?"

The landlady sneered, "Aiya, who knows if you're in the same group. When the time comes, push the blame onto me, and I won't be able to bear the consequences."

The human heart is not old, today I have finally seen it.

"You guys, are looking for me?" Wu Xiuying suddenly raised her head and asked.

The landlady leaned on the bed and said, "That's right, they are looking for you. They have come for you no less than three times in one day."

Wu Xiuying looked at me blankly and said, "But I don't even know you?"

"It's all because of your son, Zhang Bo! He turned into a ferocious ghost and killed my brother!"

I saw Wu Xiuying shudder and frown.

"Impossible, our Zhang Bo has never done anything bad. Don't slander his reputation."

Luo Yuping was furious, but she could not bring out any evidence. She gave Wu Xiuying a fierce look before she turned around and walked out of the ward.

It was good that she had left. If she stayed here, she would only get angrier and angrier.

After Luo Yuping left, Wu Xiuying shifted her gaze to me.

She was not sure how angry she was, but she sat up shakily. "Did you come to me just to speak ill of my son? Pui! Even if my son dies, he would never do something so outrageous! "

I didn't know what to say when I saw how angry she was.

Since Zhang Bo was going to die, he naturally had to find a substitute. As for why he has such a strong grievance and wants to kill people again and again, I don't know about that.

I told Goddess Wang about Wu Xiuying not having the operation, and she told us not to speak ill of Zhang Bo. After that, she persuaded Wu Xiuying repeatedly to have the operation done first.

Wu Xiuying finally figured it out. Nanny Wang's words were right. If Zhang Bo was still alive, she wouldn't want her to suffer.

Wu Xiuying wiped away her tears and nodded. She had promised to have the operation, but she couldn't bear to spend the money. Putting his hands on his chest, he continued to beat them.

"This money was originally used to settle matters for Wavelet, I didn't expect it to be used on this old woman who doesn't die. Wavelet, mom is so sorry for you. If I could change it, mom would rather die in your place!"

Nanny Wang tried to persuade her, but it was just a matter of law and it was all up to her.

Wu Xiuying was relieved of her worries. The landlady stood to one side and looked at him, her face relaxed.

Afterwards, to prevent the landlady from stealing Wu Xiuying's money, I drove her back to the rented house with Brother Zhou to get it, while Nanny Wang stayed behind to accompany Wu Xiuying.

On the way back, he learned that the name of Zhou's suite's Old Mrs. Dong was Ye Xiaofang.

The landlady said she had no intention of taking advantage of Wu Xiuying. She wished she had not met someone like Wu Xiuying.

When we got to the neighborhood, she asked us if we could not let Goddess Wang do things in her rented house.

Brother Zhou and I said that we wouldn't normally. If Wu Xiuying insisted, I hoped that she would be able to fulfill her wish.

The landlady sighed. Forget it, just do whatever you want. It would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Brother Zhou and I looked at each other. Everyone was a victim in this matter.

After parking the car, they arrived at the entrance of the apartment building. A thirty year old young woman pulled over Old Lady Dong's hand and asked with red eyes if she had seen her son, Xiao Hui.

The woman was also a resident of the apartment building. After dinner, she had been watching television. When it was after seven in the evening, she went to the bathroom and found that Xiao Hui was not in his room.

The woman ran out to look for Xiao Hui and looked through every possible place he went before contacting a few of his parents who were in the same class as Xiao Hui in the kindergarten.

In the end, they couldn't find Little Hui, and two of them even helped to find him for a while.

It was almost 10 o'clock, so the child was definitely in danger outside. If he were to meet a trafficker …

As the woman spoke, she began to cry.

The landlady comforted her and told us that she would not go to the hospital when she found the money. She would help the women find the children.

Upstairs, I saw a dark gray mark on the floor in front of Zhang Bo's room on the fourth floor.

The paper ashes were already gone. This black mark should have been left behind when the landlady was cleaning it.

When the landlady opened the door, Brother Zhou suddenly took a few steps back. I asked him what was the matter. Brother Zhou said he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt inexplicably scared.

I guessed that he was thinking of the old man in the Chinese tunic, so he didn't ask.

Just as the landlady opened the door, I saw a shadow pass through the room.

"AHH!"

"Oh my god, what is that!"

Brother Zhou and I were so scared that the landlady quickly turned on the lights.

There was a flash of light and the room was lit up. Then a little boy was seen squatting on the ground.

"Little Hui, why are you here?"

The landlady reacted immediately, frowning as she walked to the side of the child.

"Did you know your mother was looking for you?"

Xiao Hui stood up from the ground with his eyes wide open, looking up at the old lady with an innocent look.

"Aunt."

"En, let's go. Auntie will bring you back."

I found the money and sent Xiao Hui home. The landlady got into my taxi again.

I didn't say anything. Since the child had found her, she naturally had to go to the hospital. She held the money in her hand so she wouldn't say anything later.

As they drove out of the residential complex, the landlady sat in the back row and kept looking back. She patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief when she could no longer see.

Just as Brother Zhou and I thought this was strange, she said, "I beg you, please let Goddess Wang handle this matter in the rented apartment. I'm willing to pay."

I don't know why her attitude changed so dramatically in such a short time, but it was a good thing.

The landlady saw what I was thinking and said, "You don't know, tonight at 7 pm, after you leave, I went to Zhang Bo's room to look for the money Wu Xiuying told me about."

I didn't find the money. I stood in the doorway and looked at it. He remembered clearly that there was no one in the room.

If Zheng Yan's son had gone in, I would definitely have known.

Her words caused my heart to tremble. I joked, "Could it be that you didn't notice that child sneaking in?"

"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The landlady said three times in a row, "It must be my father-in-law who came back, he's covering his eyes. I had a good look at every room before I came out. "

I heard the old people in the village say that it was the same thing as playing with a ghost.

Television, newspapers often see, say that someone crossed the road inexplicably was hit by a car to death, in fact, this is a typical ghost to cover the eyes.

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood. Whoever crossed the road was used to seeing if there were any cars on both sides of the road. The wide road was only ten meters wide and the narrow was only a few meters wide.

In such a short time, if he noticed the incoming car, it would be impossible for him to be hit.

People can measure, if they see a car coming, if they don't want to die, I don't believe that he will run towards the middle of the road.

However, there were some traffic accidents that just happened to look like this. There was a car coming, still walking down the middle of the road, and it turned out to be a disaster.

Even when he was walking in the middle of the street, he didn't look. When he chose to cross the road, he always saw it. There were no cars on either side of him, so you tell him what he was afraid of.

You can't see the car, but it's already here.

I once heard from an old village that there were too many wrongdoers imprisoned in the deathless city of the underworld. As time passed, the grievances would only grow heavier and heavier.

Thus, every once in a while, the Underworld would release the ghosts and ask them to return to the Underworld to look for a substitute at the place where they met with mishaps.

If what those seniors said was true, then the father-in-law of the landlady was also looking for a substitute?

I glanced at the landlady in the rearview mirror. Her face was pale and her eyes frightened.

Could it be that her father-in-law didn't die a normal death?
