Chapter 13 The Puppet Master in the Hospital
After breaking the Seven Emotions Soul Sneak Array, Xingchen and I successfully rescued Li Yu's sister. However, because I was seriously injured, I had to be admitted to the hospital in the county. After a doctor's diagnosis, I had to fracture the second rib on my left side and needed to be hospitalized for rest. I could not exercise vigorously for at least one month.
On the third day of my hospitalization, Xingchen took Li Yu and his sister to the hospital to visit me. As soon as he entered the door, Li Yu pulled his sister closer to me and said, "Yifan, you saved my sister's life to death. I will never thank you for your kindness. If you have something to do with me in the future, you will definitely die." Then, he turned his head and called his sister's name, "Baoer, kneel down for you, Brother Yifan." Bao'er's eyes were filled with tears, and his knees were bent and he was about to kneel in front of me.
I hurriedly held Baoer with my hands and said, "Li Yu, what are you doing?"
"It's better for me." Xingchen, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't help but say, "Yifan, I will go to Liangshan with Li Yu to find that tomb tomorrow. This operation may be very dangerous. If something goes wrong, Li Yu hopes you can take good care of Baoer."
"Why didn't you tell me if you decided to explore the ancient tomb? What do you mean by danger?" I asked with confusion.
"Yifan, it's not intentionally hiding it from you, but your current physical condition is impossible to deal with. As for the danger, it's just speculation." As he spoke, Xingchen's eyes became unstable.
Seeing Xingchen like this, I expected that this would not be as simple as he said, so I continued to ask: "No, you must have something to hide from me. Xingchen, after going through so many things, is there anything else that cannot be honest between us?"
"Yifan, you misunderstood Xingchen." Li Yu hurriedly explained, "Yesterday afternoon, Xingchen found me and mentioned going to Liangshan to explore the ancient tomb. I originally hoped that you would go together when your body recovered. After all, one more person would be more powerful, but Xingchen disagreed. After I asked again and again, he told me. It turned out that he had calculated before looking for me, but..."
"But what? You two are going to be anxious to death." I asked anxiously while sitting on the hospital bed.
"But after counting the divination three times, it was not a sign." Xingchen's mood seemed very depressed.
"What? Three times will not make a hexagram!" Although I am not very proficient in the art of Qimen, I still have basic common sense. If you can't make a hexagram after three times, it can only explain one problem: this journey will definitely be a life of death.
At this time, the atmosphere in the ward seemed extremely heavy. I, Xingchen, Li Yu, look at me, I look at you, it seems that there is something to say, but it is difficult to speak. After a stalemate for about ten minutes, Xingchen spoke first. "Yifan, it is fate that we can get together. I don't want to turn all three of them in because of this matter. Just listen to me, and that's how you decide."
I wanted to say something, but Li Yu patted my shoulder, afraid of me and said, "Yifan, just listen to Xingchen. When did the things he decided have changed."
"Hey, okay, when are you going to do it?" Seeing them so determined, I had to compromise.
"Ten o'clock tonight." Xingchen replied.
"Ten o'clock tonight?" I thought to myself, "Let's do this, come here again before you set off. I'll give you some things, maybe I can help."
Xingchen and Li Yu nodded. Then, Li Yu pulled Baoer over and told him about something, and left.
"Baoer, come and do me a favor." I called Li Yu's sister and told her to buy some things from the antique market in the county.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xingchen and Li Yu came to the ward again. I took out a stack of talismans and handed them over, and repeatedly told them to be careful and not to make a rash move. Before leaving, Xingchen called me aside and said, "Yifan, when I entered the door just now, I felt that there were some unclean things wandering in the hospital. You are in an extraordinary period now, so don't force yourself to stand out. If you encounter any danger, leave here immediately."
I nodded seriously, then got up and took them away from the hospital. After returning to the hospital, I repeatedly pondered in my mind about Xingchen's words just now. What exactly could Xingchen be so afraid of Xingchen? That night, I tossed and turned in the bed, one was worried about their visit to Liangshan to explore the ancient tomb, and the other was thinking about what Xingchen said before leaving.
The next morning, Baoer came to the ward early. After chatting for a while, Baoer blinked at me and said mysteriously: "Brother Yifan, do you know that someone died in the hospital last night."
"Haha, this is normal. How many places like hospitals cannot die on a day?"
"No, no." Baoer's head was shaking like a rattle, "It's not that normal. When I came just now, I saw a large group of people carrying a coffin blocking the door, saying that the hospital was haunted and yelling to ask for an explanation."
"Oh? There's something like this?"
"Yes, yes." Baoer looked around and whispered: "I secretly looked into the coffin. A man's whole body was covered in a mess, his chest was scratched in a mess, and his feet were tied with ropes. Uh, it was terrible."
