Chapter 472 Living Dead
Chapter 472 Living Dead
After Zhan Jinhua left the community, she didn't know which way to go.
There was a lot of traffic on the road, but it was mostly private cars or large trucks. There were only a few taxis, and most of them were carrying passengers.
Besides, her cell phone was out of battery and she had no cash on her, so she had no money to take a bus.
She now wants to leave this evil place as soon as possible, but she is also worried about being recognized and sent to the police station.
While walking on the street, although he was wearing a hat and mask tightly, he was still looking around because he felt guilty.
Following her memory, Zhan Jinhua walked along the sidewalk for a long distance and found the bus stop.
She carefully searched her pockets and suitcase, and finally found some dimes. These were the change she had received from supermarket merchants when she bought things there before.
Ever since she learned how to use mobile payment, Zhan Jinhua almost never carries cash when she goes out.
She looked at the station sign and saw that the fare was one yuan, which she could afford.
Although this is not the starting station, it is only two stops away from the starting station, and there is a village there.
There weren't many people getting on the bus here, so she made a plan. After getting on the bus, she would walk to the back and try to sit in the last row to avoid attracting the attention of the passengers.
She carefully studied the various stops again. This bus didn't go directly to the house she and Sun Xiaohao rented, but it could reach the city center.
She was worried that someone would come to block her at the house again, so she didn't dare to go back for the time being.
Her most important thing now is to charge her mobile phone, contact Sun Xiaohao, tell him about her situation here, and ask Sun Xiaohao to arrange another accommodation for her.
Zhan Jinhua got on the bus, threw in a handful of dimes, and sat in the window seat at the rear of the bus with her suitcase.
Along the way, she was observing the environment outside and deciding which stop to get off.
About half an hour later, when they were three stops away from the city center, Zhan Jinhua found an inconspicuous little shop. From the sign on the door, she could tell that the shop sold potato noodles.
It just so happened that she hadn't eaten properly for a day and a half, so she could borrow a charger here and have something to eat.
After getting off the car, she dragged her suitcase into the store.
When Zhan Jinhua got off the bus, she took a look at the electronic clock on the bus, which showed the time was 10:05.
It wasn't the peak lunch hour yet, so the restaurant wasn't crowded. Seeing a customer coming in, the proprietress warmly invited Zhan Jinhua to find a seat and said, "Auntie, what would you like to eat?"
The proprietress handed Zhan Jinhua a menu, which listed several different flavors of casserole potato noodles and the prices of various side dishes.
In addition to potato noodles, the store also sells some fried foods.
Zhan Jinhua was a greedy person to begin with, and now she was hungry and tired, so she wanted to have a big meal right away.
She looked through the menu, ordered a large portion of medium-spicy potato noodles, added some side dishes like hot pot meatballs, and selected a dozen fried skewers.
The proprietress calculated the bill, which was over forty yuan, but we had to pay first before we could eat.
Zhan Jinhua borrowed a charger from the boss's wife on the pretext that her cell phone was out of battery, and charged it on the socket strip in the store.
After her phone turned on, she transferred the meal money to the boss lady, and then sat in her chair waiting for her potato noodles and fried skewers.
To avoid being recognized, she always wore a hat and a mask.
The food came. Zhan Jinhua looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Then she pulled the mask down to her chin and started eating in big mouthfuls.
By the time she had eaten and drunk her fill, her phone was fully charged.
She put on her mask again, took her cell phone and walked out of the store.
At this time, the first thing Zhan Jinhua did was to contact Sun Xiaohao.
Sun Xiaohao was a little surprised when he received the call from Zhan Jinhua. After all, he was sure that Zhan Jinhua's phone had run out of battery yesterday.
If he calls me now, I must have come out of that rental house.
Sun Xiaohao picked up the phone, ready to listen to what Zhan Jinhua wanted to say. Then he heard Zhan Jinhua's resentful voice from the other end: "You said you were going to send me something, but why didn't you come? I almost starved to death in the house..."
Sun Xiaohao laughed and said, "Mom, I had a car accident yesterday, and I couldn't get through to you on your phone..."
Zhan Jinhua complained again: "What kind of shabby house did you find for me? It's so unlucky, everywhere looks like a funeral home, and early in the morning I ran into a group of people holding urns..."
Sun Xiaohao feigned surprise: "Ah? Really? I just heard the agent say that the house was secluded and safe, so I hurriedly booked it!"
Zhan Jinhua didn't think much of it. She had been with Sun Xiaohao for two years, and although he was a little narrow-minded, he wasn't the kind of person who would betray her.
Not to mention that they were mother and son, they were more or less involved in what they had done in the past two years. If Sun Xiaohao did something bad to her, he would not gain anything.
Sun Xiaohao brushed off Zhan Jinhua's questions with a flimsy excuse, and Zhan Jinhua didn't press the issue.
She then said to Sun Xiaohao, "I just checked online, and the news is getting bigger and bigger. No matter where you are now, come back quickly and find me a safe place to hide."
At this time, Zhan Jinhua was hiding in a remote, dirty corner and calling Sun Xiaohao.
Sun Xiaohao responded: "Mom, where are you now? Send me your location. I'm delivering goods in the county town and will definitely come back as soon as possible..."
With Sun Xiaohao's words, Zhan Jinhua felt a little relieved.
But this dirty place, with its foul smell of sewers, made her feel like she couldn't breathe. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would be suffocated.
If I had known that I would have to suffer this, I should not have let Sun Xiaohao go to work. I should have let him be on call 24 hours a day and be able to take my orders at any time.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Jinhua found a relatively clean place, put the suitcase flat and started waiting for Sun Xiaohao.
But Sun Xiaohao was so eager for Zhan Jinhua to wait there for a whole day and night that he drove the delivery car without any hurry or haste and was in a good mood, humming a little tune.
Zhan Jinhua hadn't slept well that night, so she sat on the suitcase, waiting for Sun Xiaohao but she was starting to feel sleepy. She put her arms on her thighs, buried her head in them, and fell asleep in a daze.
It would have been fine if she had had nightmares at night in that unlucky house, but she didn't expect that in broad daylight, after being dazed for a while, she would start having nightmares again.
The protagonist in this dream was not Zheng Jizong, but like Zheng Jizong, she also had leukemia and also called her mother.
Could this still be her son? But she was certain that apart from Zheng Jizong's child, there was no other child. How could there be another child with leukemia?
Like Zheng Jizong, Zhan Jinhua still couldn't see the child's face clearly, but she felt that this person was very familiar to her. She couldn't remember who it was exactly.
Compared to Zheng Jizon, who had a green face, fangs, and blood coming out of all his seven orifices, this child didn't look as scary this time.
He just smiled at Zhan Jinhua, affectionately called her "Mom", and took her hand and said earnestly: "Mom, is my illness really curable? Don't worry, as long as I recover, I will definitely be filial to you and Dad!"
But this warm scene did not last long, as the mother and son had a huge quarrel over some trivial matters.
The man accused Zhan Jinhua: "You are obviously a wealthy woman, how can you pretend to be poor? Did you pay a penny for my illness? Since we have a falling out, let's talk it out properly.
Don't think I don't know the wicked things you two have done. When we were little, you two came to see me a few times, and I remember everything you said clearly!
After hearing this, Zhan Jinhua was shocked and suddenly realized that the person she was talking to was her son Sun Xiaohao, who was thrown away by her and Qian Jindou.
However, he clearly did not have leukemia, so why was Sun Xiaohao in his dream a short-lived person like Zheng Jizong?
Before Zhan Jinhua could think about it, the person on the hospital bed suddenly threw a rag doll at her.
Zhan Jinhua saw it clearly. It was clearly a toy, but in her hands, it turned into the corpse of a baby.
It was obvious that the little corpse was not yet full-term. Its body was red and thin. It was not much longer than an adult's palm and could be held up with one hand.
Zhan Jinhua was just about to shake off the terrifying corpse when the body, which had been ice-cold, suddenly became warm and opened its eyes.
On the small face, the pair of big and bulging eyes were particularly prominent, staring at Zhan Jinhua blankly.
Those were a pair of eyes full of murderous intent, and Zhan Jinhua felt cold all over.
She wanted to break free, but the baby suddenly jumped up and hugged Zhan Jinhua's arm, then opened its mouth and bit Zhan Jinhua's arm hard.
That wasn't the end of it, Zhan Jinhua desperately tried to catch the little guy and throw her to death, but the little guy was very agile and bit and scratched Zhan Jinhua's arms, shoulders, neck and face countless times.
Zhan Jinhua was panicked and unable to break free. She felt that she was going to be tortured to death by such a little monster.
She experienced the same feeling as she had in the nightmare last night, unable to breathe or make a sound.
I don’t know how long I had this dream, but in the end I was woken up by the breath I was holding.
When she woke up, she found a wild cat lying on her body. She mistook the wild cat for the scary little creature in her dream, grabbed it and threw it to the ground.
The cat struggled for a few times before slowly becoming motionless. It was clear how much strength Zhan Jinhua had exerted to actually kill the cat with just one throw.
At this time, Zhan Jinhua was a little confused about the dream and reality. She hurriedly checked her body and found that there were several tooth marks on her arm at some point.
This discovery terrified Zhan Jinhua so much that she couldn't get up from the suitcase. Firstly, her legs were numb, and secondly, she was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't even muster the slightest bit of strength in her legs.
She was even thinking about letting the police take her to the police station. At least there would be someone to accompany her.
Besides, that place is full of righteousness. Even lonely ghosts would not dare to break in, right?
Zhan Jinhua stayed there for half an hour before she finally found the strength to stand up. She had originally wanted to wait for Sun Xiaohao, but now when she thought of that dream, she felt like Sun Xiaohao was a "living dead."
She now had to wonder how Sun Xiaohao had found Luojiagou in the first place. The fools in the old Qian family hadn't asked any questions and had kept this child of unknown origin.
It is because they are unable to accomplish anything and are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything that they have left themselves with such a big trouble.
Thinking of the house full of urns that Sun Xiaohao found for her, she suddenly felt that she had grasped the truth of the matter.
Could it be that Sun Xiaohao is already dead and buried in that unlucky community?
Who else could have the idea of sending their own mother to live in a columbarium? Unless he had long been accustomed to life in the underworld and didn't think there was anything abnormal about such an environment.
Furthermore, Sun Xiaohao had stayed with her in that house for a whole night. She had such a horrible nightmare, yet Sun Xiaohao acted as if nothing had happened. This was also very abnormal.
If this is true, then Sun Xiaohao has lived with me for almost two years...
No wonder she felt like things weren't going her way after she came out. Based on her past behavior, she'd run away after doing what she did, so finding her wasn't going to be easy.
But the new identity she used to escape was exposed. Her address, the recording of her blackmailing Qin Xingzhou, and a recent photo of her after plastic surgery...
If you think about it carefully, these things may all have come from Sun Xiaohao.
She asked why Sun Xiaohao was waiting for her at the door as soon as she was released from prison.
How could he remember everything about his family so clearly when he was so young and separated from his parents? Unless he had been paying attention to this matter all the time, and was using the memory of an "adult" to pay attention to everything related to her.
Oh my God! If this is true, then what on earth has been by her side for the past two years?
Zhan Jinhua couldn't find words to describe her current mood. The thought of a ghost following her around was more painful than killing her.
She no longer dared to call Sun Xiaohao, let alone stay there and wait for Sun Xiaohao to come and pick her up.
Zhan Jinhua stood her suitcase up, pulled the handle, and hurried toward a crowded area. Even if someone recognized her and called the police to arrest her, she wasn't afraid.
If no one comes to arrest her, it's okay for her to turn herself in, right?
Although life in there is not free, it has a regular schedule, strict management, and most importantly, it is quite popular.
She would rather spend her whole life in jail than see that short-lived Sun Xiaohao again.
After Sun Xiaohao got off work in the afternoon, he ate something and then remembered to call Zhan Jinhua, but found that the line was always busy.
After he made no less than twenty calls, he finally confirmed that Zhan Jinhua must have blocked him.
Could it be that Zhan Jinhua discovered that I was doing something behind her back and was afraid that I would cause her more trouble, so she ran away quietly?
