Chapter 011: Donkey Drives Ghosts
From the day I left the hotel, I went to buy a bouquet of blooming calendula every night, and I looked forward to seeing Ge Yu one day and giving her the calendula myself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, the flowers bloomed, and until today, what I have waited for is goodbye.
I handed the calendula to the little girl and said: Help me give this bouquet of calendula to Ge Yu, I have always wanted to give it to her personally, but I don't have a chance.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.
When I got into the car, the old man asked me: Are you crying?
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't matter to you whether I cry or not."
After I started the car, the old man leaned over to the driver's seat and said indifferently: The Ge Yu in your mouth loves you very much.
I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and asked: How do you know things that I don't even know?
The old man glared, pointed ahead and said: Look at the road, look at the road! Look at the road! Talk, talk, what are you doing when you turn your head?
"Do you know why that Ge Yu left you?"
I said, "I didn't know that she was going to give me her body at the hotel, but I didn't agree, and she disappeared from then on."
The old man said: This is the reality that she loves you, and she wants to leave you because she loves you, because she doesn't want to hurt you.
This made me confused, I know that the old man has lived a lifetime, and his life experience must be richer than that of me, a young man, but what he said makes me not understand much, how can he understand it so well?
I asked again and again, and the old man said, "Do you know why that little girl didn't dare to look at me?"
I said you have blood on your face, it's scary.
The old man said, "No, I just don't have blood on my face, and she has to run when she sees me."
I said you were too scary.
The old man was speechless, and after two more stops, the old man said: Okay, I'll get off here, young man, you helped me, I will repay this kindness, I live in the urban village in the east of the furniture city, remember this place, because sooner or later you need my help.
I nodded, but I didn't care at all, and returned to the house shop bus terminal, I lay in the dormitory, unable to sleep for a long time, my mind was full of Ge Yu's voice and smile, I found that I couldn't forget her.
At this moment, suddenly the mobile phone rang, and I was excited, and I thought of Ge Yu for the first time, but when I picked it up, it was the uncle in the suit who called.
"Come with me tomorrow to Sanghuai Village to find Ge Yu's body."
"yes, okay."
I didn't say anything at all, I agreed directly, I knew that this time I went to Sanghuai Village, I would definitely not find Ge Yu's body, because she was not dead, and she disappeared completely. The reason why I agreed to Uncle in a suit was to see what the hell this guy was playing.
At noon the next day, I asked Chen Wei for two days off, saying that there was something wrong in the past two days, and Chen Wei agreed and said that there was no problem.
When I rushed to the place where the uncle in the suit was waiting for me, I passed by the flower shop again, and as soon as the proprietress of the store saw me, she enthusiastically shouted: "Eh, little handsome guy, we have a large number of calendula in the store, all of which are very good."
I nodded and said, "No."
"Eh, you kid, I specially brought it in for you, why didn't you buy it?" There was something unfriendly on the face of the hostess.
I said I don't need it, you sell it to someone else, and after saying that, I left, and I vaguely heard the proprietress shouting behind me: Who else will buy calendula except for you, who else is stupid to buy? Hey, that's a big loss.
If the proprietress says I'm stupid because I don't buy calendula, then I can understand it, but I buy her calendula and call me stupid?
I searched it with my mobile phone, and I was dumbfounded, it turned out that the flower language of calendula turned out to be sadness, parting, infatuation, and loss of love.
How could Ge Yu like this flower?
Could it be that when we went shopping together, she already knew that we would be parting? So in the hotel, she will make such a move, as a warmth before parting?
My cheeks hurt a lot, and I suddenly wanted to cry, I'm actually a strong-willed person, but I've never been in love, I'm a raw melon egg when I go to school, I only know how to read all day long, and I have a crush on the same table for three years, I didn't dare to confess, and I have long lost contact after graduation.
When we arrived at the place agreed with the uncle in the suit, neither of us said anything else, and immediately he took me and went straight to Sanghuai Village by car.
Sanghuai Village is hundreds of miles away from our urban area, with two cities in between, and it is estimated that you can only arrive in the evening by car.
In the car, the uncle in the suit, who had been silent, said: Are you in a bad mood?
I snorted.
He said don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of, this time it's a tour.
I hummed again.
He'll never know who I'm thinking.
When we arrived at Sanghuai Village, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening, and we were both a little hungry, but there was no restaurant or anything in this small village, so I wanted to go to Sanghuai Village to have a look.
This small village is not big, at most it is 300 households, it rained a few days ago, the road in the village is a little muddy, but it can still walk, just when we just entered the village, suddenly from the middle of the village came a crying and wailing, followed by a burst of gongs and drums, and the sound of playing suona.
"Dead in the village?" I'm all too familiar with this scene, this is the funeral procession.
The uncle in the suit nodded and said: Well, don't enter the village first, stand at the entrance of the village and wait, don't block the path of the soul, otherwise you will be haunted by bad luck.
I know this, when I was a child, the old man in the village died, and when I went out of the funeral, there was basically no one on the road I walked.
We saw a dead tree at the entrance of the village, which was very badly decayed, but no one cut it down, and an old donkey was tied to the dead tree.
There was a lot of dung next to the old donkey, and the smell was too strong, so we moved a little more to the south.
The sound of gongs and drums in the village became louder, and after a while, the funeral procession came out, and at the front, there were four middle-aged people who were holding soul-attracting pans, one of whom was lame.
After the corpse is buried, it is inserted next to the grave as a street lamp for the first seven souls to light the way home.
It is said that it is not very auspicious to raise such a thing as a soul trap, so not many people are willing to do it, but it is precisely because it is not very auspicious, so whoever is willing to lift it will have money to take. And then some of the bold, or bachelors, are willing to do it.
There is a second fool in our village, saying that others are stupid, he also knows that he has to pay for work, others say that he is stupid, I don't agree, because he has the wisdom that ordinary people do not have, after giving a soul trap, he took this as his profession, ten miles and eight towns back and forth, who died, he went to raise the soul pan, by the way to rub a few days of food, every day there is meat to eat and smoke, the days are also moist.
In the middle of the procession, there were more than a dozen big men, carrying a large black coffin with a wooden stick thick as their arms, and a word was written on the head of the coffin. There were several family members standing nearby.
Finally, there are people who beat gongs and drums suona.
Looking at the funeral procession, I thought of my grandmother who had just left, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and the uncle in the suit was expressionless. The funeral procession left the village, and we were about to enter the village, when suddenly the old donkey, tied to a dead tree, suddenly lay on the ground.
This kind of lying down is not lying down slowly, but falling down directly, and then the old donkey began to shake his body from side to side, rubbing his back the ground.
"Donkey rolling?" The uncle in the suit said with a slight doubt.
I nodded and said, "Well, it's tickling."
The uncle in the suit shook his head and said firmly: No! This is not a donkey rolling, the donkey rolling is slowly lying down, and then rubbing itchy, this old donkey suddenly lies down, and only rubs his own vertebrae, this is a donkey to drive ghosts!
"Donkeys chase ghosts?" When I was a child, I heard old people tell me about this kind of thing, saying that donkeys, sheep, cows, horses, and other animals are the most spiritual, and human eyes can't see ghosts, but their eyes can see ghosts, but God allows them to see ghosts for the sake of fairness, but at the same time, he makes them unable to speak.
"There is yin qi in this village, let's be careful." The face of the uncle in the suit is even more rigorous.
I asked: Is that still going in?
"Let's go in and ask where Ge Yu's house is." After speaking, the uncle in the suit took the lead towards the village.
I saw an old man smoking a dry cigarette sitting in front of a broken door from afar, I walked over, handed a good cigarette, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, I would like to ask you about someone."
