Chapter 7 Something happened on the first seven days

20xx. 02. 14

After getting up early in the morning, I felt inexplicably uneasy. I don’t know where this uneasy feeling came from. Maybe it was the psychological shadow left by the bad events that had happened continuously in the past few days.

I looked at the sky outside the house. It was gloomy and cold.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I was reading in the study room when Xiao came in and said to me:

"Honey, I want to go out."

"Why are you going out again? Didn't you tell me not to go out if you have nothing to do these days?"

"Fei's left foot was sprained and he was being treated in the hospital. He was bored in the hospital and called me. Only then did I know. I had to go see him."

"What? He must have been injured? He was fine yesterday. Hey, today is the first day after the death of that female worker. How evil is that?" I exclaimed.

After hearing this, Xiao felt horrified and said, "No way, you don't understand that, don't scare me."

Both men and women have their own fears about the spirits in the underworld.

"Maybe I'm too nervous. It's okay. You can go to the hospital to see him. You can be good friends."

I took a Guanyin pendant from the Buddhist altar and gave it to Xiao, and said, "Go early and come back early. The weather is very gloomy today, so drive carefully on the road."

After Xiao went out, I offered incense and prayed to Buddha to bless Xiao to go out safely and return home safely.

At about four o'clock, Xiao arrived at the hospital, bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital, and found Fei's ward by room number. When he walked in, he saw that Fei's left foot had been put in a plaster, and he was leaning on the bedside, fiddling with his cell phone.

.

Xiao also saw an old man in his sixties sitting beside the bed to accompany Fei. The old man looked a little lean, and his eyes were sharp as shown by his mask.

Xiao Chong nodded and greeted the old man.

"Brother Fei, I'm here."

"Xiao, here you go, sit down."

"How did Brother Fei twist his foot? Is it so serious?"

"Forget it, I don't know what happened today. I've walked up the stairs in my home hundreds of times, and I still can't step on them. When I landed, my left foot stepped over two steps, and I couldn't hold it back, so it twisted.

When we arrived, the doctor said that this plaster would last for at least a month, it is really fatal."

After Xiao heard what Fei said, he suddenly remembered what I had said to him at home: "Today is the first seven days after the death of the female worker."

Xiao's body shook inexplicably.

Fei looked at the strange look and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just bored. I can't sit still, so I'll just treat it as a rest this time."

After Fei finished speaking, he went to fiddle with his cell phone again, and there was silence in the ward.

"Whether you are in the earth or the underworld, you must be reasonable." The old man sitting beside the bed suddenly spoke and looked at Xiao with his eyes.

Xiao felt a little scared after hearing this, so he looked at the old man in surprise and found that the old man's sharp eyes were falling on his chest.

Xiao quickly lowered his head to check his chest and saw that it was the Guanyin Bodhisattva pendant hanging around his neck. Xiao subconsciously reached out and touched the pendant.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is my old friend, Old Uncle Cheng, who is a disciple of Taoism. This is my young brother I just met, Xiao." Fei introduced them.

"Old Uncle Cheng, okay." Xiao greeted happily.

"Both of your brothers' eyes have turned black. The weather is bad today. It's already past 4 o'clock now. Xiao Xiao, please go back first. Drive carefully on the road and drive slowly. When you get home, don't go out again. You have a good supply at home."

"Buddha, you are still wearing the Bodhisattva pendant. It will be fine. It will be fine after 0 o'clock tonight." Old Uncle Cheng said very directly.

When Xiao heard this, his heart was filled with a sense of terror. At the same time, he felt very strange. He could even see the Buddha being worshiped at home?

Xiao secretly thought in his heart: "I used to read some weird stories about the underworld, but I never thought I would come into contact with them. Listening to Old Uncle Cheng's statement, it seems that I have encountered a spirit body."

Xiao suddenly stood up in panic and said:

"Brother Fei, I'll leave first and see you another day."

"Don't be nervous, just be careful on the way home." Uncle Cheng comforted Xiao and said.

Xiao drove cautiously all the way. When he was driving on the city expressway, the car in front suddenly braked suddenly. Xiao quickly braked accordingly. Both cars stopped, and both parties got out of the car almost at the same time to check.

Xiao saw that the front of his car was only a fist wide away from the rear of the car in front of him.

The woman who got off the car in front was dressed very coquettishly, without wearing a mask. She looked angry and said before Xiao could speak:

"How did you drive? Did you want to hit me?"

After hearing this, Xiao was so angry that his eyes bulged. It was obviously caused by her sudden sudden braking. Fortunately, he drove slowly and braked in time, otherwise the two cars would have hit each other.

Xiao was about to have a seizure, but suddenly remembered Old Uncle Cheng's explanation, so he calmed down and said:

"The weather is bad. During the epidemic, everyone should pay attention and go home quickly."

The woman curled her lips, hesitated to speak, rolled her eyes and said:

"Be careful when driving next time."

Xiao finally returned home safely and told me the situation in detail. I was frightened. What is happening? Is this really crazy?!

At 9 o'clock in the night, the security guard of the community called and said: "Why does your car smell like alcohol? Come down quickly and open the door to disperse the alcohol."

As soon as Xiao heard this, he immediately wanted to go to the garage to check the car, but I stopped him.

"Have you forgotten what Old Uncle Cheng said? He told you not to go out again after returning home."

"Are you okay? It's just in the garage downstairs. I did spray my hands with alcohol in the car today. There is probably a residual smell."

"No matter what, you can't leave home anyway. I don't dare to stay at home alone..."

"Then let's go check it out after 0 o'clock."

Unexpectedly, at 11 o'clock, another security guard called again and said the same thing, asking Xiao to open the car door to dissipate the smell of alcohol.

I couldn't help but ask: "How much alcohol did you spray, and the smell is still so strong after all this time?"

"It's not much, it's not that big of a deal."

My son was already sleeping soundly beside us. I curled up into the bed and said, "I can't go anyway! I'm afraid!"

Xiao Ban was leaning on the thick mattress on the floating table in the master bedroom writing information, and the whole family never left.

Suddenly, Xiao's cell phone rang, which startled us. It turned out to be a call from Shi Fei, but the person who spoke was Old Uncle Cheng.

"Xiao, it's okay. The man who rushed to the hospital wanted to hurt Fei, but was caught by the police below and taken away in time. Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, we looked at the time. Mom, it's exactly 0:00 in the morning.

I asked in a trembling voice: "Husband, have the spirits from the underworld really come to us?"

"I don't know either, and I can't see it, but Old Uncle Cheng is a Taoist. If he says it is, then it should be fine. Now that he says it's fine, it should be fine."

Xiao boldly went to the garage to check the car. He came back soon and said with a numb scalp:

"There's no smell of alcohol in the car. What's going on with those security guards?"
