The worshippers left one after another, and when Zhang Wenbin saw Wang Man's parents walking away, he immediately grabbed my arm and asked with a frightened look, "How is it?" She's not there now? Did she tell you to forgive me? ”

I looked around, but Wang Man still didn't appear, and in the face of Zhang Wenbin's inquiry, I was speechless for a while.

Zhang Wenbin became more and more anxious, seeing that I was silent, he knelt weakly in front of the tombstone, and said uncontrollably: "I did everything you asked me to do, I asked someone to do the Dharma for you for three days, and I also dragged the relationship to set up a monument here for you in the shortest time, and there are ...... As for the company, I also explained it clearly to the boss...... What the hell do you want me to ......?"

"Shhh My scalp tingled and I gasped unconsciously. Zhang Wenbin looked at me, thinking that Wang Man had appeared again, so he immediately stood up in a panic and looked around blankly.

"She's there, isn't she? She won't forgive me, will she? What do you say...... You speak! Zhang Wenbin shouted hysterically at me.

"She's not coming......," I shook my head, "at least she's not showing up with you right now, and you'll feel ...... if she does."

"Feelings?" Zhang Wenbin smiled desperately, "I don't dare to sleep these days, I don't dare to close my eyes, I feel like she has been staring at me...... Isn't it...... Is it that she will forgive me if I am also dead...... Yes? ”

Looking at Zhang Wenbin's current appearance, it was really sad, and I asked helplessly: "When you deceived her, you should have thought about the result!" Take insurance as an example, haven't you thought about putting her to death? ”

"I didn't!" Zhang Wenbin raised his voice and shouted, he shook his head helplessly, "I thought that Xiaoman had some accident, so that I could take the opportunity to dump her, and I could get compensation...... But I really ...... I really didn't want to kill her! ”

I looked at the photo on the tombstone and guessed that Wang Man did not reappear, maybe the ghost was trapped by the copper bell, maybe she was no longer so persistent and hateful, right? Remembering what the old lady said, of course I hope it will be the latter, otherwise, she will only perish again and really disappear from this world, but for the sake of such a man, it is not worth it!

I turned around and left, Zhang Wenbin didn't stop me, just knelt silently in place and repented of his sins - hopefully, he sincerely repented, and hopefully, his confession can get Wang Man's forgiveness!

I found a small restaurant and had a casual bite to eat, and when I arrived in the western suburbs, the sun had not yet set.

The large iron door of the recycling bin was closed, but unlocked. I pushed it away hard and found someone inside.

"Who are you looking for?" An uncle with thinning hair stood up and looked at me in disbelief.

"Hello uncle!" I noticed a stack of dead paper at his feet, and two unlit incense sticks on the ground. I walked over, "Today is the first seven of the old king's head, I'm here to mourn." ”

"Oh! Lao Wang didn't have much popularity during his lifetime, you ...... Have a heart! ”

"I can...... Would you like to take a look in his house? ”

The uncle said with some hesitation: "You can do it yourself!" ”

I walked straight to the hut, remembering the first time I had been here, as if it had been a long time ago. I opened the door of the hut, and a sultry breath gushed out, remembering the first time I entered this house, the coolness at that time, maybe because of Tian Xiu!

There are a lot of miscellaneous waste products left in the house, and it is no longer as clean and tidy as it used to be. On the small table, there were still the dishes and chopsticks, the plate of burnt mosquito coils, and an old box; And these have fallen into dust, and it is no wonder that the environment here is already poor.

The uncle followed in and sighed heavily. I turned around and asked him, "Uncle, are you very familiar with the old king?" ”

The uncle shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, it's not familiar." I'm a waste collector, and everything is sent here, and after a long time, I can talk about it for a sentence or two! ”

"Oh......" I felt that the room was too stuffy, so I had to go out first, and before going out, I glanced at the box on the table and asked, "What are you going to do with that box?" ”

The uncle looked at me with some vigilance, and said, "What else can I do, he has no relatives and no reason, I plan to burn it!" ”

I was afraid that if I asked any more, this uncle would have doubts about me, so I didn't stay anymore and walked out. Looking up at the sky, it was still early, I covered my nose and walked around until my phone rang and it was finally dark!

"I've arrived, where are you?"

"Wait for me at the door!" I looked around, it was strange, where did I just turn around?

It took me about ten minutes, and when Xue Chen called for the second time, I finally saw the door of the recycle bin. Xue Chen was standing at the door, holding a bag in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. I deliberately flipped my phone, didn't answer, and walked over slowly.

"How did you get from there?" Xue Chen looked at me curiously.

"I came too early, I took a turn and almost got lost!" I'll be honest.

Xue Chen pursed his lips and nodded at me very sincerely. When we went in again, the two incense candles had already burned more than half, and the old man was burning the contents of the box.

"Why are you here again?" There was obvious displeasure in the uncle's tone.

I was a little embarrassed and said, "My friend didn't come just now, so it's not good to worship empty-handed." ”

Xue Chen handed me the bag in his hand very familiarly, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the incense candle that just came out of the bag, I really couldn't think of how to answer.

"Who are you?" Uncle asked vigilantly.

I subconsciously turned my gaze to Xue Chen, and he immediately replied: "A while ago, this old man was in the heat of the house, and we just happened to meet him and sent him to the hospital. ”

"Oh, that's it!" The uncle replied in disbelief, squatted down and continued to pick up the clothes in the box and send them to the fire.

Strange, how could I have a feeling of "being a thief", I pouted?—— took something out of the bag and prepared to burn it. I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my grandmother often took me to worship my grandfather, and after junior high school, I rarely came into contact with these superstitious things anymore. At this moment, looking at the ashes dancing in the wind on the fire, I feel that my thoughts are about to float with it.

Somehow, Xue Chen next to me suddenly touched me with his elbow, I turned my head to look at him, but he motioned for me to look with his eyes...... Uncle?

I turned my head, and the old man was picking up a small square wooden box and throwing it into the fire. When the wooden box encountered fire, it did not burn quickly, but there was a crisp sound of "crackling", which was the sound of the wood bursting a little. I looked at Xue Chen with a confused expression, I didn't understand why he asked me to look at the wooden box, was there any bad feeling?
