Chapter 24 File 7: Ten People's Night Party ([-])
"Aden's decision is right. If we stay on the foothills, we will die. We must rush back to the base camp before the weather deteriorates further. Because of my impatience, my walking speed unknowingly increased, which led to I made a horribly stupid mistake—going too close to the edge of the cliff, and the seemingly solid ice broke off in one piece."

"Oh!" Xue Rou covered her mouth in fright. Although she hated this man very much, she would also show sympathy when he was in danger.Stan shot her a grateful look and went on.

"Fortunately, I was connected with others, so I just hung in the air and didn't fall down. I swung the rope a bit, brought myself close to the edge of the cliff, and first inserted an ice nail into the crack of the rock. Just as I don't want to save others, and I don't expect others to save me. With this ice nail, even if they cut the rope, I won't fall.

"Aden looked at me from the edge of the cliff. At this moment, I heard a loud bang under me. It must be that a piece of broken ice hit the ground. The sound echoed in the valley continuously, and a series of ' With the echo of "Swish", Aden and I changed our faces, we knew that this sound was the prelude to an avalanche!

"I think Aden will definitely abandon me and run away. I won't blame him. I can only blame myself for this matter. I didn't expect him to order others to pull me up together. Just when I was about to climb the edge of the cliff, A billowing snow wave suddenly rushed from top to bottom, and everyone was washed off the cliff."

"I thought I was going to die this time, but when I woke up, I found that we were still hanging on the cliff like a bunch of rice dumplings. It turned out that the ice nail I nailed on the cliff saved our lives. But the ice nail It is impossible for the nail to bear the weight of seven people, and it will collapse soon!"

"You escaped in the end, didn't you?" Xue Rou couldn't help asking, since Stan was still standing here telling the story, then the others should be safe as well.

"The B University you mentioned is the one that everyone is familiar with, right?" Tang Ke interjected, "That mountain disaster shocked the whole country, and there was only one survivor among the seven team members. escaped?"

Stan's face twitched for a moment, apparently Tang Ke had hit the mark, but he immediately said frankly: "That's right, but there should have been two rescued people. I asked Yading below me to cut the rope." , to give up the five people below. But he insisted not to do so, and finally I had to give up on him too!"

"Aren't you murdering?" I couldn't help it either, I really couldn't bear this guy's expression of calm after killing six people.

"Can I be blamed for this?" Stan said without shame, "This is the law of survival on the mountain. If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their own mistakes."

"But if they hadn't taken the time to save you, wouldn't they have escaped the avalanche?" I couldn't help but slap the table.

"The sliding speed of the avalanche is three times faster than that of the world sprint champion. Even if they don't save me, I still can't escape." Stan retorted indifferently.

"But if you didn't step on the ice, would it cause an avalanche?" Xue Rou also joined the ranks of crusade against him. After all, they are good friends and iron buddies. When will the three of us be on the same front.

"I caused the avalanche," Stan admitted frankly, "but this is one of the risks that mountaineering needs to bear. If someone else caused an avalanche to bury me, I would not blame him. My only It's a pity that I didn't get Aden's satellite phone before cutting the rope, but I guess he won't give it to me either."

I was so angry that I had nothing to say. It would be superfluous to talk any reason with this kind of person. Perhaps it is most appropriate to talk to him with fists.

"But didn't you get rescued in the end because the Mountaineering Association received your distress call?" Tang Ke asked strangely.

"Yes, I hung from the cliff for a day and a night, and finally I got a rescue helicopter. They told me that they received a satellite phone call for help three hours ago, telling them that six people in the team were killed and one was still alive. The bodies of six people were found under the cliff, all of whom died on the spot when they fell."

"They said that the emergency call sounded like Aden, and the phone was indeed on his body. But how could a dead person call? I always thought it was just some kind of coincidence, and it was only me who saved me, not the ghost. I came to this party to hope to find evidence to prove this." Stan took a long breath, indicating that his story was over.

"You don't want to prove that there are no ghosts in this world, you just want others to agree that you have done nothing wrong." Xue Rou said sharply and mercilessly, "But I don't think anyone here will agree with you!"

Everyone expressed their agreement with Xue Rou with silence.

Stan's face twitched a few times, and he calmed down quickly: "I don't need other people's approval. If history repeats itself, I will still do it. Please be the next one!"

The notebook was pushed in front of Zhou Ziruo, Zhou Ziruo opened a new page, signed his name, and said: "What Dr. Gao said just now seems to be that he doesn't believe in ghosts, so I want to ask you for advice first. question."

His opening remarks immediately attracted everyone, and his tone seemed to challenge Gao Bingjian.But the university thinks that Gao Bingjian's analysis of the dark marriage story just now is quite reasonable. Can Zhou Ziruo pick out any bones from the egg?
"Why do people have to cover their faces after death?"

Seven, the fourth strange story mask

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.It is a customary practice to cover your face after death, but if you really want to investigate the reason, no one can really answer why.

"That's to prevent the deceased from bringing uneasiness to the family." Gao Bingjian's tone seemed unnatural.

"Does a person become ugly when he dies? It's so ugly that it scares people?" Zhou Ziruo asked eagerly.

"It's just a custom." Gao Bingjian became a little impatient, obviously such a question is not worth investigating.

"Wrong!" Zhou Ziruo said loudly, "You doctors all have a bad habit of taking what you know as everything. For example, when a certain disease cannot be cured by Western medicine, they will declare it terminally ill. But some people After undergoing traditional Chinese medicine or qigong therapy, he recovered miraculously."

Gao Bingjian's mouth moved, and before he had time to speak, Zhou Ziruo said it first: "You will definitely say that those are pseudoscience. That's right, you science people have always done this, yes Everything I don’t understand is dismissed as pseudoscience.”

"Then why do you say?" Gao Bingjian said angrily.

Zhou Ziruo smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know after listening to my story."

"My name is not good, because my body is really weak. I was born less than a month old, and I lay in an incubator for more than 100 days. My parents almost gave up on me several times. I didn't expect that I would live again. Come over here. But I love to cry since I was a child, and I usually sleep well, but in the middle of the night I suddenly sit up and cry loudly. My mouth is desperately calling for my mother. Obviously, my mother is right in front of me, but I don’t seem to be able to see it. of.

"My family took me to the hospital many times, but it didn't work. Instead, it became more and more troublesome. My dad really had no choice but to let my grandma carry me to the temple.

"The old Taoist priest in the temple just took one look at me and said, 'This child is born with yin and yang eyes. He saw something he shouldn't see, so he was frightened.' The old Taoist wrote a talisman and put it in the kit for I wore it, and it got better slowly. This is the first time I have proved that science is not omnipotent.

"But the torment of science to me is not over, and even more terrifying things are yet to come. When I was five years old, a relative in a neighboring village dug up a white porcelain jar while raking the ground. He smashed it casually. Unexpectedly, as soon as the jar was broken, a puff of white smoke would be emitted immediately. The relative was choked by the white smoke and passed out on the spot. He bled to death shortly after being carried home!
"According to our rules, at the funeral, the relatives have to give the deceased a libation, that is to say, uncover the veil of the dead, and then use the wine glass to feed the wine into the mouth of the dead. Others are fine after the libation, but the turn When my cousin was drinking, he suddenly screamed "His face!" His feet collapsed on the ground. Others tried to help him, but he struggled to free himself, and then screamed "Face, face", while running home."

Zhou Ziruo said it so vividly that everyone couldn't help feeling chills, but they also wanted to know what his cousin meant by the face.

"As soon as I got home, Uncle Dang developed a high fever. Asking the doctor to give antipyretic injections didn't help. He kept yelling 'face, face' until dawn, and his voice became hoarse, and he swallowed in one breath. If you don't come, you will die, and when you die, you will also bleed from your seven orifices.

"I also attended Tang Shu's funeral, but I was young at that time, and I didn't know what it was like to be dead. I just saw Tang Shu lying in the mourning hall covered with a white cloth, and Aunt Bogongtang and the others were all crying around him. , I feel very strange, why is Tang Shu's face covered with a white cloth?

"An old man with long braids told me, 'The reason for covering your face with a white cloth is to keep your uncle from talking. Your uncle still has something to say, so go and help him remove the cloth." It was nice to me, so I felt that I should speak for him, so I went up and lifted the white cloth off his face.

"As soon as I opened it, I was shocked. How could Tang Shu become like this? His face turned blue and purple, and black blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Seeing me, my mouth immediately said one by one, 'Cuizhi, Cuizhi.'

"I didn't understand what it meant, my uncle had already rushed up and hugged me, and scolded me loudly, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'My uncle wants to talk, why are you covering his mouth? He said?' Uncle's hand loosened, and he fell off when he couldn't hold me. My dad rushed over, not only didn't help me, but also slapped me twice on the head, saying that I didn't understand the rules and talk indiscriminately.

"I cried and said that I didn't speak indiscriminately. Grandpa with braids told me to uncover the white cloth, because my uncle wanted to talk. My dad said, 'How can there be grandpa with braids here?' I opened my eyes and saw that Grandpa with braids was gone. Yes, I searched and searched, and finally found it. 'That's him,' I said, pointing to a black and white charcoal picture on the wall, 'exactly the same as him, wearing a melon hat and wearing long braids.'

"All the crying in the mourning hall stopped, and I saw that everyone was looking at me in panic, and some people were saying, 'Isn't this the old man? Could it be that the old man has appeared?' Uncle knelt down and looked at me. , asked me very seriously, "What did Uncle Tang tell you?" I have never seen an adult talk to me so solemnly, and I realized that this matter must be very, very important, so I said, "Uncle Tang is here Said Cuizhi, Cuizhi, didn’t you hear me?”

"I saw that Uncle's face turned gray all of a sudden. Everyone turned to look at Aunt Tang. Isn't Cuizhi the name of Aunt Tang? It was Uncle Tang calling Aunt Tang. Aunt Tang's breathing suddenly accelerated. , I saw her chest heaving wildly, as if a bellows was hidden inside, and then she fell straight down in front of us.

"Several young men in the village immediately carried my sister-in-law on a stretcher to the township health station, and my father hugged me and followed him without saying a word. They carried my aunt into an invisible room, and there was a doctor who looked like a doctor." When people say 'virus, never seen', they shake their heads violently.

"Dad took me to another room and said something to the doctor, and the doctor asked me some more words, and I told what I saw and heard. The doctor's face immediately became similar to that of my uncle. Just as ugly, he touched my head with his hand, looked elsewhere, and said 'get an injection'.

"My father went out to see Aunt Tang, leaving me alone in the ward to get the needle. After a while, I saw Aunt Tang came in, she lowered her head and was crying softly. I said, 'Aunt Tang, what's the matter with you?' Aunt Tang raised her head, and I found that she was bleeding from all orifices just like Uncle Tang.

"Aunt Tang looked at me and said only two words: Baoshun. I was so scared that I wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. At this moment, the door of the room was opened with a 'bang', and there was a sound of humming outside. crying."

"Dad came in and said to me, 'Aunt Tang died just now.' I said, 'Why did she die? She was here just now.' But when I turned around, Aunt Tang was gone. I said, 'Aunt Tang died just now. Talking to me here, she said her name is Brother Baoshun." Dad immediately covered my mouth. I have never seen my father so scared, as if I would be in trouble if I spoke.

"Dad put his arms around me and said, 'No matter what you see, don't say it, it's all fake.' Dad called a tractor to send everyone back, but Aunt Tang was left in the hospital. At that time, I saw the doctor spraying everywhere with a pesticide sprayer.

"Brother Baoshun was also sitting on the tractor. I really wanted to tell him that Aunt Tang was calling him just now, but I was afraid of being scolded by my father, so I refrained from saying it. The next morning, my father took me to the county seat, My mother took my hand and cried as if she was very sad.

"Why is my mother so sad? I didn't know at the time. Anyway, I was very happy to be able to go to the county seat. When I passed Baoshun's house, I heard earth-shattering cries from inside. I wanted to ask Baoshun Is my brother dead, but seeing my father's livid face, I dare not ask.

"On the road, we saw many green military vehicles heading towards our township. All of them were people wearing strange clothes. Their faces were wearing strange masks, with only one pair of eyes exposed. I Thinking of those dead people covered by white cloth, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. Could these people also be related to the dead?

"Dad originally said that he would take me to the county town to go shopping in the park, but I didn't expect that I ended up going to a hospital on the mountain. The patients in this hospital are very strange, most of them are opaque, but they are either crazy or stupid. There are also a small number of people who are transparent, like a shadow, they often dangle around, but others pretend not to see them. Later I learned that this hospital is a mental hospital and was sent here All of them were identified as mentally ill, including me.

"The doctor asked me a lot of questions, and then fiddled with various parts of my body at will, as if I were a machine without feeling. Finally, the doctor said that the problem should not be serious, and I should stay here and observe for a while. As a result, this I stayed there for several months, and they gave me medicines and injections every day, such as chlorthixene, chlorpromazine, thioridazine, trifluoperazine... I can still recite these medicines better than my household registration book."

"These medicines have strong side effects. They actually used them on a normal child. Why I was not tall and was ridiculed everywhere, it's all thanks to you doctors!" Zhou Ziruo gritted his teeth explain.

"If I don't obey, they will tie me up. Do you know how it feels to be tied up?" Zhou Ziruo asked loudly.

"I know." I said with a long sigh, "I also had the experience of being forced to be locked up in a mental hospital." This feeling of being incapacitated is a hundred times more terrifying than being in prison.But I am a normal person, and Zhou Ziruo doesn't look so normal now.

"You don't know, you don't know at all!" Zhou Ziruo shook his head with an expression of extreme horror on his face, "After they tied me up, those transparent people would appear from all directions. You can't imagine their What a horrible appearance, they whisper in your ears, laugh loudly, and touch your body with their long claws..."
