stories that happened on a specific occasion

Chapter 15 Legs that can't be placed

I don't know why, I survived the cold spring, but fell ill in the middle of the summer heat.

I thought it was summer sickness, but when I was making a video with Zuo Zhenzhen, she said that it was because I went to an "unclean" place and bumped into something, which caused the discomfort.When I think about it carefully, I have basically lived a two-point and one-line life recently, except for the office and at home. I really can’t think of any so-called “unclean” places.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zuo Zhenzhen told me that her work in Japan was going well and she met many interesting people.

"How did you find out about that matter?" I asked.

Zuo Zhenzhen looked disappointed, shook her head and said, "No progress."

The same is true if you think about it. After all, it happened more than 1000 years ago. It is really difficult to find out any results based on your own speculation and a few pages of unofficial literature.And even if the result is found out, it may not be related to the mass suicide on campus.

"Next week, I will go to Osaka from Kumamoto for a few days, and I will go to Kyoto by the way." Zuo Zhenzhen said again.

"Why go to Kyoto?" I asked.

"Through the folklore professor I knew before, I was able to contact a Japanese historian. It is said that he has some information about this white tiger totem."

Before the video conference ended, Zuo Zhenzhen briefly informed me of the subsequent arrangements.Although I look forward to her return soon, I am really curious about the history of the white tiger totem she mentioned.

After she told me that she missed the domestic spicy hot pot, she went to work.

I closed the computer and felt my head was a little heavy.Glancing at the thermometer, it was 39.4 degrees.

He wanted to take a sip of hot water, but he was too weak to get up.

That's it.

Lying in bed, unable to fall asleep again.I just feel sore in the body, no matter what sleeping position I feel uncomfortable.

Just when I was helpless, the door of the drowsy room was pushed open, and a warm orange light came in obliquely.

I raised my eyelids and saw a black round thing protruding from the crack of the door.At this moment, my reaction arc was a little too long, and even the feeling of fear was blunted. I don't know if it was a hallucination or there was something really there.

"Teacher Togawa?"

A very slight voice drifted in.

From the sound, I can recognize that round thing, it should be X's head.

"I thought you were asleep."

Seeing that I was still awake, X turned on the room light.

I breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, the fear I had forgotten just now suddenly penetrated into the pores along the cold sweat on my back, and I couldn't help shivering.

"I thought I saw a ghost," I said.

The arrival of X relieved me of my sleepiness. Suddenly, there was hot water at the head of the bed, and even dinner was resolved.

"Do you need me to feed you?" X took out the packaged vegetable porridge, looked at me and asked.

I tried my best to sit up, took the hot porridge in X's hand, took a sip and said, "Today I feel that it is worthwhile to pay you."

After hearing this, X smirked a few times.

"That, old man. I have something else to do." X said suddenly.

The weasel pays New Year greetings to the rooster, does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and the ulterior motives are not drinking... Hearing X's words, my mind was filled with such bullet screens and I ran.

"Brother, I'm so sick, please let me go." I returned the porridge to X.

X hastily explained that he was forced by the boss, and definitely not voluntarily.

I rolled my eyes and didn't want to pay attention.

X took the computer next to me, skillfully entered the password, and opened the website.

"How do you know my password?" I asked while watching X's operation.

"Isn't it your birthday?" X said.

"Not mine." I didn't bother to explain.

"Whose is that?"

As X asked, he moved the computer in front of me.

Seeing that I didn't answer, he continued: "This is the theme of the next season, you decide."

I propped myself up, looked at several topics proposed by the team, and pointed to one of the themed pictures. Mission X completed, showing a satisfied smile.In order to resolve my resentment, X emphasized again that visiting me when I was sick was the focus, and work was just a side trip.

I believed in his evil.

"Turn off the lights and close the door. Thank you." After speaking, I lay down directly.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up again, I felt much lighter.

Suddenly feel a little hungry.

I walked out the door and found that the lights were on outside the house, and the aroma of food came from the kitchen.Accompanied by the fragrance of vegetables, there are also some voices of talking and laughing.

I went to the kitchen and opened the door.

The two people in the kitchen looked at me in blank dismay and stopped all movements.

One of these two people, I know, is X.Another person, the girl standing next to him, I have never seen.But judging from the way they stopped, X holding her waist with one hand, I guessed that it would definitely not be as simple as the relatives and sisters of the only child X.

Just when I was about to say something, X suddenly got an electric shock and closed the hand on the girl's waist.

"Well, Mr. Togawa, this is my girlfriend." X suddenly introduced me politely.

The girl was also embarrassed, and greeted me in a low voice.

I was also a little confused, so I nodded as a greeting.

X came and pulled me out of the kitchen, and closed the kitchen door behind me.

"What's going on?" I asked X,

"Didn't I tell you, I really came here to take care of you." Cat X put her body on her body and said to me in a low voice, "But I don't know how to cook, so I had to ask her to come over to help. I thought you were going to sleep for a while , I didn’t expect to wake up so soon.”

"When did you have a girlfriend?" I asked.

The tone of this sentence and the way I looked at X made me look distrustful.

"It hasn't been long, so I haven't brought it home yet." X replied with a smile.

"Then you can't bring me here."

X looked happy, didn't listen to me, and continued: "Medical student, isn't it good?"

"You kid won't hold back to do bad things, will you?" I couldn't help but say.

"What are you talking about?" X said seriously, "I'm serious."

While we were talking in a low voice, the girl suddenly opened the door and came out with some dishes.

Her name is Xiao V, and she is a senior nursing student of a famous medical school.From the subsequent chats, we learned that she and X met on the Internet, and after having a happy chat, the two met offline.Different from the situation of many netizens who die at the sight of light, Xiao V and X fell in love with each other at first sight.After meeting and talking several times, slowly, they developed into boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although X is careless on weekdays, as a kid who grew up in an alley, he has not left behind the fine traditions of the older generation in dealing with others.Enthusiasm, justice, and affection, these are the labels I put on X.

Little V has a handsome appearance, with a pair of big eyes full of aura.I was a little shy at first, but as we chatted, I let go of the strangeness.Only then did I discover that she and X also have many similarities in character.

I looked at X who couldn't close the corners of his mouth in front of me, and I was also happy for him.

"I heard you are a doctor?" I asked little V.

"It can't be regarded as a doctor, but a nursing major." Xiao V said: "I will graduate soon."

While chatting about this matter, X suddenly interrupted and said, "Stop talking about that."

I felt a little strange, but it was inconvenient to ask directly in front of Xiao V.Unexpectedly, it was Xiao V who said heartily: "Mr. Duochuan, don't mind, he is worried about me."

"What are you worried about?" I asked.

"After she graduated, she might go back to her hometown." X put down his chopsticks and said.

"It's not decided yet." Xiao V answered again.

"I don't think it's necessary." X suddenly changed his tone and said, "Have you forgotten what happened to you before?"

What happened before?

Although I have always disagreed with the constellations.In those constellation explanations so far, there is only one point that I firmly believe in and fully agree with-Gemini, very curious.

It's inconvenient for me to ask in detail at the dinner table, but seeing X's disappointed look, I feel a little worried.

A few days later, I finally returned to the office. At the same time, I did not expect to know what happened to Xiao V as I wished.

This also starts with a contribution from a netizen that X handed over to me.

On the first day after work, I immediately caught up with the work progress.Regarding the part of online manuscript selection, the normal procedure is that my assistant X and the interns read the manuscripts, select the favorite manuscripts from the numerous submissions, and then hand them over to the team editor and me to finalize the final published story , and I will write the final touches.It seems simple, but the contributions of netizens need to be carefully sorted out, just like the private messages sent to me by Xiao P live broadcast before, they all need to sort out the story line.What's more, you have to do some background research and look for supplementary information yourself, so that a story can be enriched and readable.Therefore, the formation and release of a story requires several processes.

After the mobile network replaced paper books, the company slowly shifted its focus to official forums and websites.Therefore, according to the work plan, a story like this should be published at least three to five times a week, so that the online column I am in charge of can gather a certain amount of popularity and attention.

In order to catch up with this progress, I need to sort out the selected stories and existing materials immediately, and they must be published before this Friday.

Just when I looked at the story in front of me and felt helpless. X sent me another story and said, "I've put this one together, take a look."

To save time, I went through the emails X sent me.To my surprise, compared with before, X business ability has been significantly improved.In addition to the satisfactory story, the background information investigation is also relatively in-depth and detailed.

When I just decided to use this manuscript, X suddenly said to me: "This one cannot be published."

"why?"

I asked puzzledly, and was annoyed that X wasted my time.

"The contributor of this story is my girlfriend." Only then did X say.

I took another look at the profile of this netizen who contributed, and it was indeed consistent with some of the information that Xiao V told me about himself.

I wanted to get angry, but after recovering from a serious illness, I lacked confidence after all, and seeing X's listless face, I still held back.

After thinking about it, although I feel regretful, I still agree to respect X's decision.

After working overtime to catch up on the draft, I couldn’t help but read Xiao V’s contribution again when I got home, and I still felt scared when I read it.

Little V's story

This story happened when Xiao V went to the hospital for an internship in her junior year.

Different from those classmates who wanted to enter a big hospital in a first-tier city, Xiao V chose a county hospital in her hometown for her internship.Even her teacher was surprised. She gave up the qualification to recommend her to a second-class hospital and recommended herself to a rural area in a second-tier city. Such a decision is still rare.

Although the school allows students to find hospitals for internships on their own, the teachers will also help them make some arrangements for outstanding students like Xiao V.But as mentioned earlier, Xiao V refused.He resolutely returned to his hometown and practiced in the No. [-] Hospital in the county.

Naturally, this hospital is what we wish for, not all the birds that fly out know how to return to their nests.What's more, it is a student who graduated from a famous medical school in the country, and this situation has not happened for many years.

After a warm welcome, Xiao V was assigned to the psychology department.

The first reason is that although this hospital ranks first in the county, there is still a shortage of doctor resources, especially the psychology department; the second reason is that the original psychologists are already old, and there are only a handful of candidates who can replace them.Although Xiao V is a nursing major, psychology is also a major subject, and he has also taken psychological counseling courses in school.Therefore, Xiao V was assigned to this department.

The psychological department of this hospital consists of one outpatient clinic and one inspection department.The outpatient room where little V is located is an extremely old room at the end of the corridor.The furnishings in the room are still the same as they were in the early 90s. The large and heavy caramel-colored wooden table, close to the frequently used part of the seat, has been covered with a layer of pulp, smooth and shiny; the chairs are also made of wood, which has been mottled. The outer layer of paint has been peeled off, as if it is constantly peeling, as long as there is a little more movement, some fine parts will fall off; the same is true for the window, the paint on it is cracked, and the original deep red shading is exposed , like a peeled wound, making people look at the scalp numb.What remained was a second-hand computer, a repaired sink, and a mirror covered with water stains on all four corners.

Although the conditions were simple, the old doctor who was with him was very kind and generous with his advice.In just a few months, Xiao V learned a lot from the old doctor, and with her talent and hard work, she finally got the recognition of the entire department and hospital.Occasionally, when the old doctor is away, Xiao V will also be responsible for the diagnosis.

When she sat at this table for the first time, Xiao V couldn't help being excited.She looked at the table carefully, and suddenly felt that the heavy wooden table carried her future.

She stroked the table lightly, and found that a place on the table had a different texture.

Little V touched it back and forth several times to confirm the place.

It's on the left hand side, near the computer keyboard, a place about the size of a coin.

It looks like it has been patched, but it's not the same wood.

Xiao V took a closer look and found that it turned out to be an eraser with a similar color to this table.

Perhaps, it is also possible that it was painted this color.Little V didn't care.

There are not many people who come to this hospital to see the psychology department, and many people don't know what the psychology department is for.Xiao V has encountered children who were brought in by their parents because they were disobedient, and there were also elderly people who were looking for someone to chat with because they were lonely.all kinds.Most of the time, it's relatively quiet here.

On this day, the old doctor went out, and little V took over the room.

Coincidentally, there were no patients this afternoon, so Xiao V dozed off.In a daze, little V fell asleep lying on the table, and his hand touched the place where the eraser was before.

Subconsciously, little V touched the eraser.The time should not be short, but it is still soft.

Suddenly, with a hard effort, the eraser suddenly fell down.

Little V shuddered and woke up.

A hole appeared in the table.

A hole the size of that eraser.Perhaps it should not be called a hole, but a hole.

Little V immediately went under the table to look for the dropped eraser, but strangely, there was nothing there no matter how he searched.

Little V had no choice but to sit back and watched a hole appear on the dark table, revealing the original light-colored wood color clearly.Little V stretched out a finger and passed through the hole. The wall of the hole is so smooth that it looks like it was cut out by someone.Looking down into the hole, the gray concrete floor is below.

Originally, it should have been an accidental injury to Daya, but unexpectedly it turned into a nightmare.

The day after the hole was exposed on the table, the old doctor asked.

Although the tone was calm, he still repeatedly told him to find the eraser, or replace it with something similar.For one purpose, just plug this hole.After such instructions, the old doctor went to another place to attend a medical conference, and it would take a weekend to come back.

Sitting in front of this table, little V couldn't help touching the hole again, there was no wood thorn at all.

I also tried to use paper towels or other erasers instead, but it always fell off soon.

Xiao V gave up trying, thinking that when the old doctor comes back, he should not be harsh on himself for this.

This department is also empty on weekends.

Little V stared at the computer for a long time, and when he was tired, he lay down on the table to rest.

Little V folded his arms together and rested his head on it.

But just when he felt sleepy, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

This feeling is as if someone suddenly placed a heavy object on his shoulder and neck.Little V also felt that he couldn't move.

In medicine, this is called sleep paralysis.

Folk, commonly known as "ghost press".

Although this is a physiological phenomenon that occurs in a half-dream and half-awake state, at this moment, Xiao V was awakened by the heavy feeling on her shoulders and back, without any sleepiness and clear consciousness.

But he just couldn't lift his head up, as if someone was pressing his head, or someone was sitting on the back of his neck, his whole head and shoulders were rigidly unable to move.

Little V kept her big eyes open, panting heavily.

Suddenly, she found that the hole was in front of her eyes.

She didn't want to look at the hole, but it seemed that this force wanted to press her head to look at the hole. She tried to resist, but she couldn't get rid of it.

There seemed to be nothing different about the hole, so little V looked into the hole.

Not gray and white concrete.

black.

Mixed with some white.

But the texture of the two colors is different.

Black looks smooth and white looks leathery.

human skin.

This was the first thing Xiao V thought of.

Little V took a closer look at the black that blocked the hole.

One by one, black grows out of white.Not very dense, but there is a certain amount.

Little V confirmed that this should be the top of the person's head.

After realizing this, Xiao V felt his feet start to go numb.She tried to move her legs under the table little by little, slowly recovering them.Judging from the position, the top of the head should be right next to his legs.

If so, then this person should be squatting under his desk.

Usually there will be one or two naughty little patients who have also got under the table.

However, Xiao V felt that the white scalp and sparse hair she saw were definitely not children's.

Little V's legs were moving to one side bit by bit stiffly, but his upper body was still unable to move.

Suddenly, just as little V was trying to move his body, the top of his head moved.

It is turning slowly.

Slowly, leaning upwards.

Little V looked at the scene in the hole, his whole body began to tremble, his breathing was out of rhythm, and he couldn't stop sobbing.

Gradually, that head looked up.

It's impossible to see everything from that small hole, but it can still be judged that it is a woman's face.

There is no blood color, no expression, not even the lines that skin should have.

The woman looked up at little V through the hole the size of a coin.

Her eyes were black and white.

The whites of the eyes are so white that there are no impurities and bloodshot eyes, while the eyeballs are so black that the pupils and irises can hardly be seen.

She just stared at little V like this.

After an unknown amount of time, little V felt his shoulders relax.She immediately sprang up from her seat and jumped away.

After a while, I carefully looked under the table, but there was nothing.

Little V mustered up his courage again, approached the table from the side, and looked into the hole.

The gray concrete floor appeared again.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief for a while, Xiao V kept trying to plug the hole afterwards.

Finally, when I got off work one day, when I closed the door, I found the rubber rolled behind the door.Without further ado, little V firmly plugged the hole.

But even so, every time she sat at this table, she involuntarily placed her legs on one side of the table.

The space under the table has become impossible to ignore, and it can no longer make people feel at ease.

The next day, when I saw X, I saw that he no longer had the sad face of the past, and his face was happy again.

"She decided to stay here." X whispered to me like this.

I laughed, patted X on the shoulder, and couldn't help telling him to take it seriously.

"Why are you like my dad?" X said to me.

Seeing that he was no longer shy about talking about his girlfriend, I asked about Xiao V's story again.

X told me that when she was talking with Xiao V Network, she told the history of this hospital, and then X also made some investigations.

After that nightmarish afternoon, Xiao V asked some doctors insinuatingly, but they all said that although this hospital has a long history, there are no strange things or rumors, and they have not encountered any supernatural things.Just when Xiao V thought that maybe she was hallucinating, she learned something about this hospital from her family.

Xiao V heard from the elderly at home that this hospital was not a hospital in the past, but was a free clinic for a charity organization at the beginning of the founding of New China.Over time, this small town became a county seat. In response to development needs, the government retained this free clinic, hired medical staff, and changed it to a county hospital.The name of this hospital was inscribed by the mayor at that time, and it is still hung in the hospital's consultation hall today.

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with that either.Little V thought so too.

After asking for a while, the old man said some irrelevant information.

"When I was young, there was a Yizhuang there." The old man said suddenly.

Hearing this, Xiao V felt that he had found the answer to what happened to him.

According to the information X found, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Xiao V’s hometown was still a small village with a population of less than [-] people, and the medical treatment depended on barefoot doctors and witches.In the past, the ancestral halls of several big families in the village were in the center of the village, and behind it was Yizhuang.During the Anti-Japanese War, the ancestral hall was destroyed by a bomb, but Yizhuang was preserved intact.After the founding of New China, the government allocated this place to a charity organization, planning not only the school but also books and clinics.In this way, the original yizhuang became a small three-story building, and it stood in this place for decades.

The so-called Yizhuang is the place where corpses and coffins are placed.

After hearing this, I also felt in my heart, perhaps, this is why Xiao V encountered such a thing.

Maybe not, but people always like to find an answer or an outlet for everything.Whether true or false, right or wrong, is better than hanging in the air.

After listening to X's narration, I thought about it.

After thinking about it, he stopped X again.

I called out X's name, pointed at him, and said, "You kid, you actually used your work to hook up with girls."

X looked at me, just smiled without saying a word.
