Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sleepless Nights
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sleepless Nights
When it was time for dinner, the four of them came to Guimiao New Village, and Lu Li called Min Rou out to eat together.
I found a small restaurant that was quite elegant, five people asked for a private room, Lu Li told everyone about the cause of Min Rou's illness in advance, I had seen it at the door of the Versailles Hotel before, Min Rou didn't feel much embarrassed, mainly because Lu Li was still around, Gao Yuan moved chairs, washed cups and offered non-stop, Min Rou still had a deep impression of him, that day at the door of the hotel, when shaking hands, Min Rou wasted a lot of energy to pull out his hand from the plateau.
"Lu Li, is what you said true?"
After listening to Lu Li's story, Min Rou probably knew where the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village was, and the red spots on her body were also related to this, Lu Li also gave her a triangular exorcism charm, Min Rou didn't believe in ghosts, ghosts, gods, and gods, but she chose to believe Lu Li.
Six dishes and one soup, no wine, drank a little drink, the time to talk and laugh passed very quickly, and it was almost nine o'clock after eating.
"Lu Li, can I go with you to have a look?"
Waiting for Gao Yuan to pay, Min Rou pulled Lu Li: "Not tonight, the evil spirit on your body has not disappeared, and it will only worsen if you go, and you don't want to have red spots on your head, right?" ”
Lu Li smiled and patted Min Rou's little hand: "We'll send you back first." ”
"Okay......"
Gao Yuan came over from the front desk and looked at Min Rou: "Hey, I said Min Rou, how did you lose weight, it seems that you are only about a hundred pounds." ”
Min Rou's height of 1.6 meters is less than a little bit, and she is more than 1.6 meters tall when she wears high heels, and her figure is well-proportioned, and she looks less than 100 pounds.
"It's really hard to stay in shape." Min Rou looked at Gao Yuan seriously: "Every time I lose weight to about 90 pounds, I eat desperately to grow back to 100 pounds." ”
"Wahaha......"
The first thing I couldn't hold back was Zhang Xiaotian, Gao Yuan losing weight is a mantra on his lips, and the doctrine he believes in is not to eat enough, where is the strength to lose weight. Min Rou relied on desperate eating to keep in shape, which really embarrassed the fat man.
Laughing and playing all the way, he sent Min Rou back to the rented place, and went to Zhang Xiaotian's car to move the things he bought in the afternoon to the ancestral hall.
"Little Liu, why did you ask Tianzi to buy so many paper clothes?"
Huang Min was holding a large stack of paper clothes in his hand, and Gao Yuan was carrying a basket of fruits, eating them as he walked.
"You'll know when you get there."
Lu Li sold it, and arranged for Zhang Xiaotian to buy all kinds of paper clothes for her boyfriend, old and young, as well as fruits, ingots and candles, and incense candles.
"This place is eerie!"
Four people sit on the steps in front of the ancestral hall to rest, there are seven or eight stone steps, the main hall is in the north of the square, the main hall should be dedicated to the ancestral ranking, however, now there are none, the roof of the main hall is still broken and there are still a few holes, the main hall is full of cobweb dust.
Lu Li took out his cigarette and scattered it around, and then sent a yellow note to no one: "This thing is very important, it's all put away." ”
Zhang Xiaotian looked at the triangular folded paper talisman and cautiously put it in his pocket.
Lu Li also explained some precautions and division of labor, Huang Min and others will be responsible for registering the names of ghosts, Gao Yuan will be responsible for coordinating and maintaining order, Zhang Xiaotian will wait for Huang Min to register the names of people according to the male and female gender of the ghosts, write the name on the corresponding paper clothes and then burn them.
Lu Li took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to dig pits and bury four paper talismans in the four corners of the square, in case there was a surplus of yin qi here, which would have a bad impact on the surrounding area.
The time on the phone is 0:00
Lu Li patted the dust on his hand, pinched his fingers, and the paper talisman in his hand turned into ashes in the faint fluorescence: "Beidou crape myrtle, Xuanwu opens yin-guan, heaven and earth borrow the law, and gods and ghosts appear." ”
As soon as Lu Li's incantation was finished, Huang Min, Zhang Xiaotian, Gao Yuan and the others only felt that it was dark in front of them, and when they could see clearly, the color of heaven and earth was a little darker.
"Oh my god......"
Gao Yuan grabbed Huang Min's arm, although Zhang Xiaotian was mentally prepared, he was still frightened, Huang Min looked unresponsive, I don't know if he was afraid? Or are you afraid?
"Don't be afraid, I'm ......"
Lu Li comforted, it's strange if you're not afraid, how terrifying it should be for a normal person to see a ghost, but it's not one in front of him, it's a group, there are about forty or fifty people, they look ugly and disgusting, they are all lepers, and the dead look is really not covered.
"Mr. Lu......"
In the crowd, Old Man Xue walked out, greeted Lu Li, and glanced at the three stunned people beside Lu Li.
"Xue Laohan, these three are my friends, I asked them to help, you inform everyone to line up here to register and receive clothes."
Lu Li introduced it to Xue Laohan and explained the matter, Zhang Xiaotian looked at the clothes on these ghosts, and understood why Lu Li wanted to buy so many paper clothes.
Xue Laohan turned around and explained to the ghosts, everyone began to line up, Huang Min was responsible for registering the name, Zhang Xiaotian wrote the name on the paper clothes according to the gender and burned it in the brazier, Gao Yuan assisted Zhang Xiaotian on the side, and waited for the paper clothes in the brazier to burn to ashes, only to see that the ghost who had just registered his name had a brand new clothes on his body.
At first, I was a little scared, but slowly I got used to it, the three roommates were busy on the side, and Lu Li called Xue Laohan aside: "Xue Laohan, have you found them all?" ”
"Not yet, Mr. Lu, you give me a few more days, today is just me and Xiaohu are busy again, tomorrow I will mobilize everyone here to help find it."
Lu Li pondered for a moment: "Okay, but you have to explain to them, don't cause trouble everywhere, I have prepared offerings for you, don't go out to find food these days." ”
"Got it, Mr. Lu."
Xue Laohan began to arrange for the ghosts whose names had been registered to look for other ghosts at night, Lu Li built the purchased fruits into a tower, and lit incense and candles in the open space.
It took almost two hours of busy work before the matter came to an end.
"Little Liu, it's registered, there are fifty-seven people in total, and four of them can't speak, and they haven't asked for their names......"
Huang Min handed the registered roster to Lu Li, and Zhang Xiaotian and Gao Yuan packed up the unburned paper clothes.
"Okay, we have to continue tomorrow night...... I'm going to work hard for you. ”
Lu Li took out a cigarette, Huang Min punched him, Lu Li told Xue Laohan not to make trouble here before leaving, Huang Min and the three of them also greeted Xue Laohan, and several people were driven towards the school by Zhang Xiaotian.
"What's wrong? It's ......"
Lu Li looked at the sullen appearance of the three people, and his emotions were very low. Zhang Xiaotian didn't speak, and Huang Min looked at the flickering neon lights outside the window in a daze.
"Little Liu, are they really miserable?"
Gao Yuan has always been very optimistic, Lu Li rarely heard him speak in such a low and hoarse tone, Gao Yuan and the others were doing things just now, and they were talking to ghosts, and they all knew about the tragedy that happened in Guimiao New Village, which would make everyone a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaoliu, you are really doing a great thing, really, the three of us are limited in ability, but although you arrange it, I think, if I don't know, it may be okay, but I know now, I think, I should do something."
Huang Min leaned against the car window, and two crystal teardrops hung under the glasses that reflected the dazzling neon outside the window.
In the era when leprosy patients were isolated in Guimiao New Village, the disease could have been cured in foreign countries, but it was not possible in our country at that time, and many international friends came to help us set up a special leprosy hospital.
Leprosy patients in Guimiao New Village were isolated from the crowd and left to fend for themselves. Of the more than 300 people who were admitted, none of them were spared.
Rejected Lu Li's suggestion to go to supper, the four of them went back to school and took a shower and went to sleep, for the young generation who were born in a new society and grew up under the red flag, tonight's experience was a bit heavy, and it was destined to be a sleepless night.
