When I regained consciousness again, I was in the hospital ward. There was an IV drip on my hand. It was dripping into my vein along the plastic tube.
There was a torturous itch.
Just as I was about to reach out to scratch it, I saw the ward door open. Tang Tang came in from outside and widened her eyes. Be careful of the needle."
"Oh."
I could only unhappily retract my hand.
"What about me?" I still don't know why I'm in the hospital.
In my memory, I seemed to be talking to Tang Tang, saying something about not having class today, and then I don't remember.
"You even said that you had a high fever and fainted. Fortunately, I was in the dormitory and sent you over in time.”
She felt a little helpless." Tell me, what if you burn yourself silly?”
"No, I have you.”I said.
"Humph."
The curtains swayed.
I turned my head and saw a black shadow. Tang Tang walked over to see what was going on. I reached out and grabbed her arm." Forget it, don't look anymore. The medicine is almost gone. Pack up and go through the procedures."”
"Okay, you rest. I'll do it."
She sighed.
Looking at her tired face, I could imagine how tired she must be. Two of her roommates who had been together for more than a year had died tragically, and her friend had been married and haunted by ghosts…
No one would be able to treat it with a normal heart.
After some thought, I finally said,"Tang Tang, let's go to the temple and ask for a talisman or something.”
"What? Why did you suddenly think of this?”
"Too many things have happened recently.”
As she spoke, the nurse came in and removed the needle for me. After she left, I pressed the cotton swab and made up my mind." If we drag it on, we'll forget. Let's go today. I know there's a spiritual mountain 30 kilometers away from here. The amulet there is very effective.”
"What spirit?" She gave me a slap jokingly." You're still sick.”
"Maybe I'll get better after I get a blessing charm.”
She ignored my sophistry.
However, due to my insistence, she finally agreed. Tomorrow morning, we'll skip class and go to the Spirit Mountain to ask for a blessing charm.
Early the next morning, we got up, washed up, and arrived at the train station.
After buying a ticket and getting on the bus, I finally had time to look at the sky outside. The thick clouds were pressing down, making it gloomy and suffocating.
"Will it rain?" I asked Tang Tang worriedly.
"It won't happen." Before Tang Tang could say anything, the driver's voice came from the front." I've seen more of this weather than you. It's just that it's frighteningly cloudy. It won't really rain.”
"That's good." I was slightly relieved, but I still felt uncomfortable.
When it was time to leave, only a few people got on our bus. We couldn't wait any longer, so the driver drove helplessly.
The car drove all the way to Spirited Mountain.
Because I had just recovered from my fever and had been in the car for so long, I almost fainted when I got out of the car.
Looking at the towering mountain in front of me and the red wooden plaque, I let out a sigh of relief. I hoped that the talisman I asked for here would be useful.
Strangely enough, when we were at the foot of the mountain, we clearly saw many tourists who wanted to come up to burn incense and worship Buddha.
However, he did not encounter a single one along the way.
"Tang Tang, isn't this a little strange?”
"How is it strange?"
She caught up to me while panting." The strangest thing is, when did your stamina become so good that you couldn't even catch up to me.”
"No, don't you think it's too quiet here?”
She didn't understand what I meant and said,"Isn't it good to be quiet? There shouldn't be any noise around the temple.”
"Don't be so surprised. Let's go. We still have to go back to school before dark.”
"Yes."
When I reached the top of the mountain, an ancient temple appeared in front of me. It was indeed the temple of the Spirit Mountain, but the strange thing was that there was not a single person there.
"Let's go in and take a look." Tang Tang pulled me inside.
Just as I walked through the door, I bumped into a monk. I was shocked and said unhappily,"Master, why are you scaring people in broad daylight?”
"Frightened in broad daylight, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?”
They looked at each other.
He couldn't see anything.
I took the lead to look away and glanced at the statues in the temple. The strange thing was that the gods and Buddhas worshiped were not the Buddhas I remembered. Instead, most of them looked ferocious…
I swallowed and took Tang Tang's hand. I slowly retreated to the door and asked," Can I ask for a blessed amulet here?”
"Of course." He nodded." Patrons, this way please."”
I looked at Tang Tang. Not following?
He was already here.
He followed him all the way to the back of the hall. After he stood properly, he took out a yellow square origami paper from the box of offerings.
"Benefactor, this is the safety talisman you asked for.”
I took it and held it in my hand. I turned it over and over again to look at it carefully, but I couldn't see anything special.
"Only one?" But there are two of us."
Patron, do you really need two?" He looked at me and then at Tang Tang.
Tang Tang quickly held my hand." Thank you, Master. We only need one."”
After taking the amulet, we burned incense to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and donated some incense money. Then, we prepared to leave.
However, as soon as she left the house, the sky began to rain heavily. When she reached out her hand, the raindrops hit her palm and hurt it.
"Damn it, didn't the driver say it wouldn't rain?”
"It's okay. We'll go down the mountain later.”I comforted Tang Tang.
Footsteps came from behind. It was the monk who gave me the amulet. He smiled and walked over." Donors, why don't you sit inside and wait for the rain to stop before going back?"”
He had traveled a long way to get here, and he had spent a lot of energy climbing the mountain just now. He was indeed tired.
"Alright, thank you, Master."
When we arrived at the guest room, the master poured us a glass of water and then asked us why we came here to ask for a safety talisman.
Tang Tang was about to speak when I secretly pinched her.
Seeing that the expression on her face was about to break, I quickly said,"It's like this. Because two of my classmates have met with an accident, I want to ask for a safety talisman to protect myself.”
"But there are no ghosts on the two of you.”
"Is that so? That's even better."
I thought it was some master, but in the end, we only talked about irrelevant things, so I threw the topic to Tang Tang and let her do the pleasantries.
I casually looked around the room.
This was a simple room. Even the furniture was the same. Tang Tang and Master sat on the chairs, so I had to sit on the sofa next to them.
As soon as she sat down, she immediately felt that something was wrong.
The sofa under me seemed to be slanted, as if the sofa's feet were pressing on something. I bent down in confusion and looked inside.
A hand bone that was covered in black appeared in my sight.
Immediately after, the sound of footsteps could be heard. I followed the corner of my clothes all the way up and saw the master's strange smile.
Patron, what did you see?"
I ignored him. My eyes were only on Tang Tang, who had fainted behind me.
