Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 973

He Siying quickly hid behind her husband Mei Qiugui.

The others looked at their mother-in-law, and Li Teng quickly understood why she was back.

The mother-in-law's face must have been burned, or disfigured by scalding or unknown liquid.

It looked full of scars and very hideous.

"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry. I apologize to you. She is just timid." Mei Qiugui probably understood what was going on and quickly apologized to her mother-in-law.

"Forget it, I know I'm scary, so I don't blame her." The mother-in-law waved her hand, then picked up a coal stove and started to light the fire.

"Mother-in-law, is there a mental hospital on this mountain?" Fang Jianguo walked over and asked his mother-in-law.

Although everyone's watches indicate the location of the mental hospital, before entering, it may be helpful to complete the mission if they can ask the nearby 'residents' about the legend of the mental hospital.

In other words, if this mission is a console game, and the player controls the character on the way to the mental hospital, no living person is seen, and a talking NPC suddenly appears. From the perspective of the game developer, This NPC must have a certain role.

As a player, of course, you must keep the NPC's words clean, which will definitely be of great benefit to the next task.

"Yeah, which mental hospital are you going to?" The mother-in-law stopped what she was doing and looked at everyone.

"Well, we are investigators. We heard that there have been many disappearances in that mental hospital recently, and we were entrusted to investigate." Fang Jianguo nodded.

"You'd better not go. If you do, don't expect to come out alive." After the mother-in-law said a few words, she turned back to her coal stove.

Everyone looked at each other.

Of course, before doing this mission, they had already thought about it. This mental hospital must be very spooky, but they had no choice. They had to go after accepting the mission, otherwise they would be taken back to the prison and executed.

And the mission description also states that this mission is a supernatural mission, which means that ghosts or evil spirits will appear.

"Do you know anything about this mental hospital? Can you tell us?" Fang Jianguo continued to test his mother-in-law.

"I have been a nurse there for decades. Do you think I know anything about this mental hospital?" Her mother-in-law replied to Fang Jianguo.

"Then tell us about the haunting of this mental hospital. We like to hear stories the most. By the way, I will help you light the fire in the stove." Fang Jianguo pretended to help his mother-in-law. The look is similar to that of her mother-in-law.

"Did I say the mental hospital is haunted?" the mother-in-law said in a fierce tone.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I just heard some legends. The specific ones have to be told to us by my mother-in-law, right?" Fang Jianguo realized that he had slipped up and hurriedly covered it up.

"I have nothing to say to you. Do you have to go to the mental hospital on the mountain?" Mother-in-law asked everyone again.

"Yes, we have to go, this is our job responsibility." Fang Jianguo answered his mother-in-law.

"Then I would like to advise you a few words: 1. What you see with your eyes may not be true; 2. What you hear with your ears is probably a lie; 3. The power of hatred can never be greater than understanding; 4. The truth is always only in the hands of a few people. In your hands." After her mother-in-law replied to Fang Jianguo for a few words, she started busy with her dinner.

Some vegetable leaves picked from the vegetable field were thrown into the pot and cooked without being washed.

Then there was a piece of smelly meat of unknown origin, which was also thrown into the pot and cooked together with the vegetables.

When Fang Jianguo wanted to ask anything more, his mother-in-law refused impatiently. It seemed that it was impossible to get more information from her.

Because the task is time-limited, you must enter the mental hospital within the specified time limit and then stay there for three full days before you can leave.

Everyone could not waste time and could only continue to move forward according to the instructions of the watch.

Further ahead is the mountain road.

Very rough mountain road.

"Don't you think it's strange that a mental hospital is built in such a desolate place?" He Siying asked everyone.

"It's weird enough that we'll be put in jail after we die, so everything else is not weird." Fang Jianguo grinned, and it seemed that he was a talker.

"It's impossible for such a barren mountain to have water, electricity, gas... right? How does a mental hospital normally operate?" He Siying continued to question.

"How can you talk so much nonsense? Won't you know it when you go?" Mei Qiugui stopped He Siying with some unhappiness.

In many horror movies that Mei Qiugui has watched, supporting characters usually die due to two reasons: one is not following the rules; the other is talking too much.

As a result, he discovered that his wife had both.

For her own good, he had no choice but to say a few words to her.

"Oh, you think I'm talking nonsense? Why am I talking nonsense? Should everyone in this world be like you, unable to be beaten with a stick? Do you know that you are boring? Very boring? I I'm so blind, why do I want to marry you?" After He Siying was scolded by Mei Qiugui, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and began to vent wildly.

"Talk less and live longer." Mei Qiugui was speechless. He asked her to speak less for the purpose of protecting her. As a result, the more he stopped her, the more she talked.

There is really nothing a brainless woman can do.

"You are just looking forward to my death every day, right? If I die, you can find a young and beautiful one. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking about every day? Do you think I don't know your thoughts? You don't want to pee yourself. Zhao Zhao, if you look like you, how much better of a woman can I expect to be with you? I..." He Siying's emotions exploded even more.

Mei Qiugui started walking quickly, and soon opened a distance of more than ten meters from the others.

He Siying originally wanted to catch up and continue to vent, but she felt that he actually left her alone, why should she chase him? Doesn't this make you look very shameless? So he snorted, simply slowed down and walked behind Li Teng and Fang Jianguo.

"Young couples always quarrel and quarrel like this. Only when they get older do they realize that they can rely on each other. Just like my parents, they had all kinds of quarrels and even fights when they were young. They got divorced almost every year. I They also always live in fear that they will get divorced.

"As a result, they never divorced. After they turned seventy, the relationship between the two was extremely good. One of them got sick and the other was extremely nervous."

Fang Jianguo and Li Teng were walking together and couldn't help but sigh when they saw the young couple quarreling.

"Why don't you come here as husband and wife? Come and keep company!" Seeing that the other party said so much, Li Teng felt that it was not appropriate for him to say the same thing.

Chapter 974

"Indeed, when my mother was still alive, she took very good care of my father's life. My father didn't have to worry about food, clothing, or anything else. My mother would arrange everything for him.

"My mother loves to move and her health has always been better than that of my father. After my father became hemiplegic, my mother took on the task of taking care of him and took good care of him. She even made my father unable to move from lying in bed to Finally, I was able to limp out for a walk without anyone's support.

"But I really didn't expect that one day my mother suddenly felt chest tightness. After she was sent to the hospital, the doctor said she would need to do a coronary angiogram to detect the cause of the disease. Considering that the examination was an operation, my mother was unwilling to do it and wanted conservative treatment.

"Unexpectedly, he suddenly died the next day. He was sent to the operating room. The doctor said it was a ruptured arterial dissection, and it was the aorta of the heart. He was a good person, who was always lively and talkative. If you say no, it’s gone.

"In the end, my father was the only one left. He didn't want to live with our children and grandchildren, and he couldn't help but miss my mother when he stayed at home, so he went to live in a nursing home.

"A while ago, I was watching the news and saw an old man in a nursing home standing by the window begging for food from passers-by. I suddenly thought of my dad, and I cried so much that I ran to the nursing home. I was slightly relieved when I saw that he was fine. .

"Well, young couples must know how to love each other and support each other. Only when they are old will they realize how precious this love is." Fang Jianguo began to talk at length.

Li Teng glanced at Fang Jianguo. He felt that Fang Jianguo should say this to the young couple. What was the point of having such a big talk with him?

But there is an advantage to Fang Jianguo being so talkative.

That is, Li Teng walked all the way without feeling that the road was long and reached his destination without even realizing it.

The mental hospital the mission required them to go to.

This is a large flat land in the mountains. The mental hospital seems to cover a large area, with higher peaks leaning behind it. It is surrounded by high walls and has a large iron gate that looks rusty. Traces of everything.

When Mei Qiugui, Li Teng, and Fang Jianguo came to a platform in front of the mental hospital, they looked down and found that He Siying was still on the path a few hundred meters away, slowly climbing up the mountain alone.

"Bieqiu, go pick her up! Man, don't be angry with your wife and make others look down on you." Fang Jianguo persuaded Mei Qiugui.

"What did you call me? What did you call me again?" Mei Qiugui stared at Fang Jianguo unhappily. His parents gave him this name, which led to him being nicknamed Briquette since he was a child.

After graduating from college and entering the society, no one finally called him briquettes. He never expected to meet this man here and call him briquettes again. This made him very unhappy. Isn't it too disrespectful?

"Isn't your name Mei Qiugui? I thought it would be troublesome to shout three words, so I didn't call you 'briquets' or anything like that in the first two words." Fang Jianguo grinned.

"I can't understand what you're shouting? I'm warning you! You'd better be more respectful to others!" Mei Qiugui and his wife He Siying were angry. They were already unhappy, but now they were called nicknames by Fang Jianguo, and he was yelling at Fang Jianguo. Jianguo clearly pointed this out, but Fang Jianguo actually refused to apologize and made all kinds of excuses, which made him feel even more unhappy.

"Young man, don't be so arrogant. If you really take action, you may not be my opponent." Fang Jianguo was also a little angry. Did this man take gunpowder?

"Want to try?" Mei Qiugui reached out and pushed Fang Jianguo.

"Are you really going to do it?" Fang Jianguo immediately pushed Mei Qiugui back.

"I hit you again! What happened?" Mei Qiugui waved her fist and hit Fang Jianguo on the head.

‘Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

Fang Jianguo was not to be outdone, and the two began to fight each other with their bastard fists.

"Enough, enough!" Li Teng had no choice but to rush between the two of them and forcefully separate them.

"If he doesn't stop me, believe it or not, I will kill you?" Mei Qiugui had one eye swollen and obviously didn't want to hit her again, but she still said harsh words.

"You still want to kill me? You didn't even urinate and take pictures yourself! How funny!" Fang Jianguo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, half of his face was swollen and said harsh words to Mei Qiugui.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it now. From now on, I will beat anyone who says harsh words again!" Li Teng could only yell.

Feeling the strength of Li Teng's arms and looking at his burly figure, Mei Qiugui and Fang Jianguo finally stopped scolding each other.

Mei Qiugui walked to the side and glared at Fang Jianguo fiercely. After spitting, he went down to pick up his wife He Siying.

Because the task required four people to complete it together, it was still early for the task to start. Li Teng and Fang Jianguo did not enter the mental hospital immediately. They stood on the platform in front of the mental hospital and looked at Mei Qiugui and He Siying below.

He Siying was obviously angry, and very angry.

Mei Qiugui went down to look for her, seemed to have said something, and reached out to pull her, but she shook off Mei Qiugui's hand and walked in front.

Mei Qiugui didn't talk to her anymore, and hung a few meters behind. After another ten minutes, the two of them walked onto the platform one after another.

Before the mission even started, the young couple had an argument, and then Mei Qiugui and Fang Jianguo had a fight. It seemed that the start was somewhat unfavorable.

But Li Teng didn't expect these NPC companions to be of any help at all.

To him, the three of them were just cannon fodder at best.

Li Teng didn't want anything to happen to them for the time being, and he also didn't want to lose three cannon fodder so early.

Even if it is cannon fodder, it must be used in worthwhile ways and cannot be wasted.

The four of them gathered together and walked to the iron gate of the mental hospital in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Is there a problem?"

Inside the iron gate, a fierce-looking security guard came over and questioned the four people.

"We are special investigators, here to investigate the disappearance case in the mental hospital." Fang Jianguo took out the documents prepared for their mission in the helicopter, as well as the stamped letter of introduction, and handed it to the security guard.

After the security guard took the ID and letter of introduction, he walked a few steps inside, took out the walkie-talkie on his body, and chattered for a while.

A walkie-talkie is available, and it looks like there should be at least electricity in there.

It's afternoon now and it's not dark yet, so I don't know if there are lights in the ward.

It's best to have electricity and lights, otherwise, staying in a mental hospital in the wilderness in the dark would be a bit scary.

About five minutes later, a man with gray hair and a white coat walked over to the iron gate with two women.
