Zhu Haiping's eyes were blurry. He shook his head and continued, "After the laughter died down, we thought it was over, so we quickly got up and ran. But after a few steps, the laughter appeared behind us again!"
"This is not over yet!" Chen Dayong said coldly.
"We didn't care, just kept running along the path, not daring to stop. We were almost exhausted and couldn't run any longer, but we were still in the cemetery! We accepted our fate and simply stopped running. We stopped, gasping for breath... The laughter approached again, and suddenly, it became extremely miserable! It was mixed with the screams of a cat and the shrieks of a weasel!"
Everyone knew that the climax of the story was coming, so they held their breath and listened to Zhu Haiping continue.
Zhu Haiping swallowed his saliva, suddenly increased his voice, and continued: "At that time, the sound in our ears became more and more piercing, and we became more and more uncomfortable. My whole head felt like it was going to explode. Just when we were about to give up, a shout suddenly rang in our ears.
'Haiping, Shumin, wake up! Wake up!'"
"Guess who's here?" Zhu Haiping asked deliberately.
"Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!" Chen Dayong said unhappily. He was just engrossed in what he was listening to, and now this happened. He really deserved a beating.
"My father came and woke us up, and then I realized that we were sleeping on a pile of graves!" Zhu Haiping said in a deep voice.
"Hiss, what's going on? Were you dreaming?" Zeng Pengfei asked in disbelief.
Zhu Haiping nodded, then shook his head, and said, "It's very likely that we fell asleep the moment we saw the black cat. Everything that happened afterwards was an illusion, or maybe a dream. But it felt too real. I don't think it was a dream. But if it wasn't a dream, how could we be sleeping on a grave? We can't figure it out. Even seeing my dad felt so unreal that we couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams!"
"What happened next? How did you confirm that it was your father's?" Chen Dayong asked.
"My father saw how stupid we were and knew we were possessed by evil spirits, so he took out a kettle, took a sip, and sprayed it on us. I smelled a strong smell of alcohol mixed with Liushen floral water, and I woke up immediately. My mother did the same. After she woke up, she kept beating my father, scolding him as she beat him. It was all his fault. He almost made us die in this cemetery!" Zhu Haiping said a little angrily.
"Oh, this toilet water has such effect?" said Chen Dayong.
Director Tang nodded, shook her ear-length hair, and said, "The unique fragrance of the floral water has a refreshing effect. And the name "Six Immortals" must have the effect of exorcising evil spirits!"
Chen Dayong gave a thumbs up and said, "Director, this explanation is very accurate!"
Zhu Haiping was in high spirits and continued, "I know you all want to know how my dad got back. I asked him at the time. He said he knew we would pass by the cemetery in the middle of the night, and he was very worried. He also knew that many strange things had happened there. So, not long after we left, he followed us along the path in the cemetery. It wasn't until he saw us lying on the graves that he realized we were in trouble and quickly woke us up."
"Then why wasn't your father affected? Or why wasn't he possessed by evil spirits?" Chen Dayong asked again.
Chen Dayong nodded and said, "My dad was well prepared. He sprayed his entire body with floral water. Not only did mosquitoes and insects not dare approach him, but even evil spirits were afraid of the smell. My dad said he saw the black cat, and it was staring at him. He sprayed a mouthful of strong liquor containing floral water on it, and the black cat screamed and ran away."
Li Zheng nodded and said, "It seems that there is indeed something wrong with that black cat!"
Zhu Haiping nodded vigorously and said, "We didn't go to my grandfather's house anymore. We returned home with my father. The next day, my father gathered the Taoist priests in the village and went to the grave mound to perform a ritual. After repairing the grave mound, he discovered a dead cat in the grass on the grave mound. It was also black. It must have been bitten to death by something!"
"hiss!"
Chen Dayong gasped and said, "So, the weasel sound you heard must be the real Wong Tai Sin. It was the black cat that was bitten to death by it!"
Zhu Haiping nodded and said, "I told my dad everything that happened to my mom and me that night, and he thinks the same thing. That woman's laughter was just the cat deliberately trying to scare us!"
Chen Dayong took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "After all, it's still superstition! Do you believe it? I don't. In a new socialist society, these old ideas should have been discarded long ago!"
Zhu Haiping was a little anxious. Although he was young at that time, his memory was too vivid to be false.
"Brother Zheng, Director, you have to believe me, I am absolutely not lying!" said Zhu Haiping.
Director Tang nodded, then shook his head, and said, "There's probably some truth in what you said, but it's been a long time since I last remembered it. You were young then, couldn't tell reality from fiction, and you were frightened. That's why you get scared when you hear a woman like that laugh. There's no need to be. In a clear world, nothing's as you think!"
Li Zheng also nodded and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is hard to say, but it is always right to have a respectful heart."
Zhu Haiping's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Zheng, do you recognize me?"
Li Zheng laughed and said, "The story is very attractive, the plot is very vivid, and the details are very rich. I don't think you made it up!"
"Haha, Brother Zheng still understands me!" Zhu Haiping slammed his fist into his palm, then looked at Li Zheng and asked, "Brother Zheng, you also think this patient is possessed! Right?"
"Hahaha……"
Just then, laughter was heard again in the ward.
Zhu Haiping instinctively shrank his head, very frightened.
Li Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's impossible to be possessed by evil spirits. We must unravel the mystery and find the cause of the disease!"
"But what kind of disease can make the patient laugh while having diarrhea?" Zhu Haiping looked unwilling. It seemed that he wanted Li Zheng to say that the patient was possessed by evil spirits so as to confirm his memory. It was correct!
Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I remember reading a magazine that mentioned this condition. It's not a disease. We can find out if we go see the patient and ask about his medical history."
After saying that, Li Zheng stood up and prepared to go out.
Zhu Haiping caught up and said quickly, "We've taken a look at the patient's medical history. The patient only has a history of cholecystitis, which recurred not long ago and has never fully recovered. The rest of his health is fine!"
Li Zheng nodded and asked, "Have you asked her if she's taking medicine for her cholecystitis?"
Director Tang replied, "He's been receiving intravenous drips at the clinic for the past ten days, and they're giving him anti-inflammatory fluids, but she doesn't know what the specific medication is."
"Well, the problem should be with the medicine. We'll know after asking." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he walked directly towards the ward where the laughter came from.
