Chapter 24: There is a ghost in my heart
The man's home was in an old community, and Qin Qing and Qin Cheng got off the subway and changed buses to find it.
The man's father was a good time to go to the sea back then, he was born as a college teacher, he knew a lot of cultural people, a wide range of people, senior brothers, teachers, parents, etc. So his business was quite successful at first. It may be because of the open-mindedness after the affair, or it may be the impact of new ideas in that era, in the memory of men, the father seems to have never broken off his lover, except for the scene and bad occasions, there are three lovers who maintain a relationship at most, and they can get along peacefully, and his father was also proud. His father thought that he took good care of his lovers, and one of them sold insurance, so his father bought insurance for the whole family and the employees of his company; There was also a lover who owned a restaurant, and his father only went to that restaurant when he invited guests; There is also a lover who also wants to do business, so his father taught her by hand, taught her to open the door, taught her how to deal with industrial and commercial taxation, and so on.
Mother...... All my mother's obsessions are to keep this marriage and this family. He had heard his mother tell him more than once, "Death will not divorce!" It won't make your dad feel better! ”
He always thought that his mother was an old-thinking person, so he refused to divorce even if the marriage was unhappy. Now he realizes that he doesn't understand the world of his parents.
Every day at noon, he had to rush home from the company to go for a walk with his mother.
In a stock market crash in the mid-90s, my father's business was greatly affected, and the family ended up with only three houses left. His father invested the last savings of the family to buy a house, and planned to make him a wedding house, and the family would live together in the future. But when my father had brain cancer, the house was sold to treat my father. Probably...... This is also the reason why his first girlfriend broke up with him, the standard of living has dropped significantly, and the family can no longer give any help, but has become a drag.
This time, his mother is sick, and he is ready to sell the house. But his mother refused, saying that this was the last thing the family could leave to him, and her illness would not be cured anyway. However, my mother spent a lot of money on buying Buddha statues and beads, and she had the posture of spending more and more.
It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but if this money is spent on curing diseases, he has no opinion at all, so what is the difference between spending it and throwing it into the water?
He just wanted to find someone to take a look at him, dispel his mother's thoughts, and let her stop spending her energy on these things, and live a good and happy life.
He didn't have much confidence in the female college student who was coming this time, and if that Xu Dashen was willing to talk about it, it might be a little useful. But he didn't want to offend Xu Dashen, since he said that he would let his junior sister come, come and come, and it wouldn't take a look at anything.
At noon, he took his mother for a walk in the garden downstairs, and saw the female college student and her classmates arriving from a distance, "We are here, you can come here." He said to the phone.
His mother, who was in a wheelchair, heard him and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The man didn't want to tell her mother for details, so he coaxed her to say, "It's our company's intern this year, and I said I want to come and see you." ”
"Oh." Mother didn't care anymore, and stared at the flower bed in a daze.
In the past, my mother was very talkative and liked to talk and chat with her neighbors, but now he took her out on purpose, but she ignored anyone.
Seeing the person, Qin Cheng stopped and said, "You go over and ask, I'll wait for you here." He thought that Qin Qing was just chatting with people, talking to people about strange things that happened in other people's homes, similar to interviews.
Qin Qing: "I may have to go upstairs in a while." ”
Qin Cheng nodded and watched her walk over, only to find that she slowed down when she was still a few meters away from the old lady in a wheelchair, and slowly circled around her as if she was observing her.
What's going on?
In order to prevent his mother from being uncomfortable in the direct sun, the man deliberately chose to stand in the shadow of the building. Qin Qing looked at it carefully when he walked over, and there was nothing on the old man.
There is no imp he said.
She has already determined in her heart that it is estimated that it is another story of "ghosts in her heart".
She walked up to the man, who asked her with a little expectation, "Do you want to ...... Go upstairs and have a look? I'll give you the key. Saying that, the key had been taken out, "You can go up by yourself, just over there on the 11th floor of Unit 7 of Building 19." ”
Qin Qing shook his head, "No need. ”
"Oh......" The man took the key back in disappointment, and asked her not very expectantly, "Then do you see anything?" ”
Qin Qing affirmed: "Ling Tang is fine. ”
Her attitude was so natural that the man was confused by her affirmation, "...... What do you mean? ”
Qin Qing thought to herself that anyway, she had a god stick brother, how firm the senior brother was when he told fortunes, she could too! As long as you don't cultivate your morality like your senior brother, it's fine.
"There's nothing on Ling Tang." She said.
Someone really told him that he was okay, but he was not sure: "...... It's true? ”
Qin Qing was stunned, she suddenly understood that it was not only this man's mother who had a ghost in her heart, but even this man "had a ghost in her heart".
In the end, after Qin Qing thought that there was no need to stay any longer, the man still insisted on taking her and Qin Cheng home, and took each of them to look carefully in each room several times, and after getting Qin Qing's repeated affirmation of "nothing", he still didn't believe it very much, and said when sending them out: "I'll see Xu Dashen another day." ”
It's a doubt about their abilities.
While waiting for the bus, Qin Qing was physically and mentally exhausted, she never thought of convincing a person who didn't want to believe that her family was okay to be so tired.
Qin Cheng was dazed and watched from the beginning, but later he felt more and more strange. This is not like interviewing strange people and strange things, but like asking the heavenly master to catch ghosts.
He looked at Qin Qing strangely: "You don't really believe that Xu Hanwen can tell fortunes, right?" "Xu Hanwen has a poisonous mouth, and there are many people who believe in him on the Internet, but who among ordinary classmates believes that he can tell fortunes? Who can't say a lot about criticizing this kind of thing, who in the history department can't say a lot? But who really takes it seriously? Xu Hanwen was able to go to Xie Lingpao for two years while writing his dissertation and sold cemeteries part-time, what everyone admired was his serious research mentality and good luck in earning extra money by the way, but no one really envied him for selling cemeteries! In short, research is research, and it is stupid to really get into superstition and think that it is true.
Looking at Qin Cheng's foolish gaze, Qin Qing shook his head weakly: "No...... How could I believe him......"
Could it be that Qin Qing is acting? But she looked at it very seriously. Qin Cheng's suspicious, puzzled, and strange gazes focused on Qin Qing, but she didn't bother to explain, she just wanted to go back and quickly call Fang Yu and tell him.
Fang Yu is still resting, although he has already started to work, he only sits in the office every day, and does not work overtime. Fortunately, the good impression was not bad some time ago, and his rest did not cause dissatisfaction among everyone in the company, and he was very willing to help others do some trivial things, which was quite likable.
Receiving a call from his girlfriend, listening to her voice was weak and complaining softly, Fang Yu wanted to laugh. Even if she goes out with Qin Cheng, she still has to talk to him if she has something on her mind. So he wasn't worried about their old relationship rekindling at all. Zhao Lanshan once laughed at him: "Are you afraid that those two are in the same school every day, or in the same class, get along day and night and love again?" ”
Fang Yu smiled and said, "How is that possible? Compared with Qin Cheng, of course my family chose me. Then he gently reminded him, "You're becoming more and more like Wei Manwen now." The last time I saw our girl, they all said that Wei Manwen had ascended to heaven and disappeared, when did you change it back? Zhao Lanshan was not in the mood to joke, "You are really ...... Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned! "Can he not be afraid? Every time he heard Fang Yu say this, his heart trembled, and now he was about to get sick.
Fang Yu comforted softly, "Don't worry about other people's affairs, according to what you say, they are doing it themselves." ”
Qin Qing was mainly tired. Although she didn't feel that she was unusual because she could see ghosts, after this period of time, especially the things of the instructor and Zhao Lanshan, she thought that she could help others. Both efforts were reciprocated, and she began to feel confident in using this ability.
But today that faith is shattered. Because she discovered one thing: she can only help others if the other person believes in her.
Like today, the man would rather believe that there is a haunt in the house than that his mother and his home are safe and that there are no demons asking for their lives.
"People only reflect when they are in misfortune." Qin Qing sighed and said, "I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. ”
If the man and his family had lived happily ever after, they might never have remembered a time from forty years ago. At least this man will never know.
But it was precisely because of the misfortune that happened to their family that his mother began to reflect and began to fear the belated "retribution".
"This is the judgment of conscience." Fang Yu said, "Do you know why there are people in the East who are dying, and their words are also good? In the West, there will be priests who confess people when they are about to die so that they can ascend to heaven, because death is also a misfortune, and it is the most terrible misfortune. ”
"I don't believe that there are no conscience people in this world." Fang Yu said that he had also encountered a lot of unpleasant people and things, but he never took these to heart, Zhao Lanshan said that this was another kind of heartlessness, and he was laughing at him. But Fang Yu knew that he just didn't care, "No one can live a smooth and carefree life. So when misfortune happens, it is when people are tortured by their conscience.
"So good and evil will be rewarded in the end?" Qin Qing was told by Fang Yu, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared. Yes, if this is the "retribution" of that man and his family, then she really doesn't have to worry about it.
Fang Yu hung up the phone after cheering for Qin Qing, and sighed secretly in his heart. Qin Qing is destined to encounter more such things in the future, because of her specialness, she will "see" more injustices. If you have more ability than others, you will have more responsibilities than others.
After that, this man came to find Senior Brother Xu to resolve it, and Senior Brother Xu carefully calculated it and told him that his life should be like this, don't struggle, since there is no blessing in this life, just cultivate the next life.
Unexpectedly, he was not beaten, and the man really began to take his mother to do good deeds to prepare for the next life, even his father's share.
But the doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department told Senior Brother Xu to stop talking nonsense after hearing about it once, and if he ruined the reputation of the hospital, he would be allowed to get out of the hospital and not be allowed to live again!
"You should have gone home a long time ago, if your professor hadn't said that you wouldn't have anything to eat when you went back, he wouldn't have let you occupy a bed here!" After the doctor got angry, he said to the man, "Don't look for this kind of person, I think your mother may have a little hysteria because of an accident and illness at home, go to the psychiatric department of our hospital to have a look, prescribe some medicine and take it better than anything else!" ”
Qin Qing was ashamed of himself when he heard this! She has also been educated for many years, why didn't she think that this man's mother might be sick?
The man took his mother to the hospital and prescribed some medicine. But half a year later, Qin Qing heard from Senior Brother Xu that this man's mother jumped off the building while he was not at home, so he still ran back to the school complex where his father and first wife lived. That's why the man didn't find his mother in the first place, which led to the tragedy.
Senior Brother Xu would know that it was because this man heard that Senior Brother Xu could read feng shui and had a relationship with Xie Ling, so he asked him to set up a house for his family and find a good cemetery.
"Didn't you say you were taking medicine?" Qin Qing asked, "Is the cancer too painful?" I've heard that liver disease hurts. ”
Senior Brother Xu shook his head and said, "He said that he asked his mother to take medicine, and his mother also told him to take it, but after the person left, he found out that his mother didn't take medicine, and all the medicine was hidden in the pillow." He paused, "It's said that it's uncomfortable to take medicine, and the whole person is light and fluttering like he's been dreaming, so he won't take it." He was on a blind date again, and he didn't care about his mother, so something happened. ”
"......" Qin Qing.
"Anyway, the people are already gone, and it's too late to say anything." Senior Brother Xu sighed, "He told me...... He felt that retribution had arrived. owed two lives to others, his father and his mother paid it back. ”
Qin Qing thought, maybe this is for that man...... It's better to accept it......
It's all returned, and there is no more responsibility for him.
