Living Funeral
Then a head poked in from outside, and I thought it was Ms. Fan returning, but instead, a young woman with disheveled hair entered.
She was wearing a hospital gown, and I guessed she must be a patient from my ward.
It was a woman, but I was curious—can men and women share a room in the hospital? What if this woman had walked in by mistake? She sat down on the bed, not against the wall, but directly in the center with her legs crossed. Her head was bowed, and her hair fell over her face, obscuring my view of her features.
Gao Ling called out to me, saying, "Hey, what are you looking at? Hurry up and eat."
I responded with an "mm" and started eating. After finishing my meal, Gao Ling went out to throw away the food container. That left just me and the woman in the room.
I looked at her and felt something was off; I thought to myself, could she be mentally unstable?
Just then, I heard a voice beside me. I turned my head and saw the woman in red appear. She sweetly called out to me, "Chen Lang," and I acknowledged her.
The woman in red asked, “Chen Lang, have you been suffering these past few days?”
I wanted to ask her where she had been all this time and why she hadn’t shown up. She seemed to know what I was about to ask and said, “Chen Lang, we couldn’t get into Zhang Family Village. The master and I tried many ways but couldn’t get in.”
Upon hearing this explanation, I replied that I was fine and she didn’t need to worry.
Zhang Family Village is quite Eerie, so it made sense they couldn’t enter. Besides, at that time, Zhang Family Village had been set up with a formation.
The woman in red asked again, “Chen Lang, are you really okay?”
I murmured that I was fine, reassuring her, but at that moment, I felt a gaze fixed on me. In the room, aside from me and the woman in red, there was also the woman sitting on the hospital bed.
However, her hair obscured her face, so I couldn't see clearly and wasn't sure if she was looking at me.
The woman in red held me close and leaned in to kiss my forehead, saying, "As long as you’re okay, Chen Lang, I’m relieved."
Suddenly, I asked the woman in red, "Is there something wrong with that woman?" Of course, I kept my voice low when I asked.
The woman in red glanced over and replied, "There's nothing wrong. She's just like Chen Lang; she's a normal person."
Still, I felt something was off. The woman sitting on the bed, Yin Qi, seemed heavy. As the woman in red continued to kiss me, she was about to press down onto the bed, but I worried it might hurt my wound and frowned slightly. The woman in red quickly noticed and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Lang. Did I hurt you?"
I shook my head and was about to speak when Gao Ling entered from outside. The woman in red got off me at that moment. Gao Ling closed the hospital room door behind her and approached me with a somewhat mysterious expression. Once close enough, she said to me, "Fei, there might really be something strange going on in this hospital."
I paused for a moment and asked Gao Ling, "What did you notice?"
Gao Ling replied, "It's not that I noticed something specific; it's more of an intuition." I responded directly to Gao Ling, "Can intuition put food on the table? It needs to be reliable."
Gao Ling continued, "Fei, I've actually uncovered some clues. The nurses in this hospital are all acting strangely. Just now, I casually chatted with one of them, and this might actually be serious!"
"And if it is serious? So what?"
Gao Ling exclaimed, "Fei, are you being foolish? Have you forgotten how we make our living?"
Gao Ling's words suddenly reminded me that this was indeed my livelihood. If nothing eerie happened, it would be hard to make any money. Now that there was an incident at the hospital, not only could I earn some money, but I could also do something good.
Seeing me lost in thought, Gao Ling said, "Fei, if you think there's no problem with this, I'll contact the hospital director right now. Plus, Gao Qing is back, so we have a better chance of succeeding together."
"Gao Qing is back?"
"Yes! She's probably sleeping at home right now."
I nodded. If Gao Qing was really here, then we could definitely make some money. I told Gao Ling, "Alright, let's do it."
Once Gao Ling saw that I agreed, she immediately turned and left, moving quickly as she likely went to find the director. However, just after she left, my phone suddenly rang. I pressed the answer button and heard Zhao Fan's voice on the other end. Curiosity piqued in my mind—had Zhao Fan encountered some trouble again?
I greeted him with a "Hello," and he called me "Brother Fei." I responded, and Zhao Fan said, "Brother Fei, I just got a business deal, but it's a bit eerie, so I wanted to ask for your help."
I was taken aback for a moment because Gao Ling had just mentioned taking on a deal when Zhao Fan called with one as well. So I asked, "What kind of deal?"
Zhao Fan replied, "It's a big one—it's with the People's Hospital."
Upon hearing this, I said, "You need to come over right now; I'm at this hospital."
"What? You're at the hospital? I'm almost there! Which ward are you in?"
I didn't know the ward number offhand, but the red-dressed ghost whispered to me that it was Room 4. I quickly relayed this to Zhao Fan. He asked if something had happened. I assured him that I'd explain everything when he arrived at the hospital.
After the phone call ended, five minutes later, Gao Ling walked in with a sullen face and cursed, "Damn it, the person in charge of this hospital is spreading rumors. If they dare to nonsense again, I'll call the police. Damn it, this bastard, I was just trying to help, and they slander me like this. I'll make sure to spread the word back."
I told Gao Ling not to be angry. Gao Ling replied, "How can I not be angry? This hospital is really something."
I thought about it; such a large hospital definitely wouldn’t want more people to know about this incident. Otherwise, who would dare to come here to give birth? Besides, since they found Zhao Fan, they probably didn’t want to look for anyone else.
After a moment of silence, I said to Gao Ling, "This deal has actually already been taken."
"What? Fei, you took it already?"
I replied, "Not me, it's Zhao Fan."
Upon hearing this, Gao Ling said, "That bastard is really quick." I told Gao Ling that he invited us to participate together; after all, it’s all the same. He’ll be here soon, and we can discuss it together then.
After I finished speaking, Gao Ling finally calmed down a bit and said, "Alright then."
After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Fan arrived. Once he came in, he exchanged pleasantries. Gao Ling said, "Fan Ge, let’s not waste time; let’s get down to business."
Zhao Fan replied, "Okay, let’s go meet the person in charge of the hospital now. However, since I'm on an IV drip right now, it's not convenient for me to go. You guys can go ahead."
It was around nine o'clock in the evening at that point. The woman had been maintaining her position since she entered for almost an hour. The woman in red then said to me, "Chen Lang, what’s going on in this hospital?"
I responded with a sound and said that I wasn't sure about the specifics yet.
Until ten o'clock, the woman maintained the same position. Damn, what incredible endurance! Doesn't it hurt at all?
At a quarter past ten, Zhao Fan and Gao Ling returned.
By this time, I had finished my IV drip. Both Gao Ling and Zhao Fan were smiling as they said, "The deal is done."
Gao Ling added, "Fei, this time the commission is in six figures."
Damn, another six-figure sum! I was tempted again; these people really had money. Zhao Fan suggested, "Brother Fei, how about we go check the delivery room now?"
I got off the hospital bed, and Gao Ling helped me a bit. My chest was injured, but my arms and legs were fine. We headed straight to the delivery room.
Since it was past ten o'clock, there were significantly fewer people in the hospital.
When we reached the delivery room door and hadn’t even stepped inside yet, I felt a heavy Yin Qi. I wasn’t sure if it was just my imagination. As soon as we pushed the door open, a gust of wind rushed at us; after all, there shouldn’t be any wind in a closed space.
Gao Ling opened the delivery room door and turned on the lights. However, the moment the lights came on and we saw the scene before us, we were both stunned.
On the delivery bed lay a pregnant woman. Her lower body was covered in blood, and she lay motionless on the bed. The most critical part was that she was gripping her bloody umbilical cord with her hands.
