Chapter 31: The Cash Cow of the Underworld

The old woman coughed dryly and sighed: "Yongfu, you will tell the details of this matter!" You tell them about it, so they know what is really going on. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|"

Xing Yongfu was still holding his head in his hands, his throat was constantly panting, his body was still trembling violently, but it was as if he hadn't heard his grandmother's words.

The old woman knocked her crutches on the ground hard, and then coughed violently, she slowly walked up to Xing Yongfu, and said, "Something that is not angry, cough...... Cough...... Yongfu, don't squat on the ground, don't be afraid, it's not a big deal, it's been so long. What are you afraid of, stand up quickly! Come and help me, alas...... Cough...... cough, this person is old and just inconvenient to move, cough...... Ahem......"

After listening to the white-haired old woman's words, Xing Yongfu immediately stood up from the ground, he tightly supported the old man's body with both hands, and helped the old man to the wooden chair step by step. Then he stood beside the old woman, and he lowered his head and rubbed his hands nervously.

Xing Yongfu's voice trembled, and it took a long time before he spoke: "It's terrible, things are really terrible." I...... I really don't know where to start. ”

The old woman slammed her hands on the chair and interjected indignantly: "Let's start with how that powerful ghost entered Yongcai's body." ”

Xing Yongfu obviously listened to his grandmother's words, and he nodded again and again: "Yes...... It's ......"

Xing Yongfu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, calmed down, and said slowly: "I remember that day was the Qingming Festival, Yongcai and I went to my grandfather's grave to burn paper money for his old man as in previous years, and the two of us bought a large string of underworld supplies in order to show respect for grandpa. That day, Yongcai was holding a string of cash trees in the underworld in his hand, and he was just about to insert it into his grandfather's grave......"

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted, "Cash cow? Is it a type of paper money in the netherworld? ”

Xing Yongfu was stunned when he heard me say this, and then nodded heavily.

I do know a little about the kind of cash cow in the netherworld. In recent years, with the continuous "innovation" of merchants, the traditional sacrifices to the dead, such as paper, coins, chrysanthemums, etc., now have new "competitors", such as villas, sports cars, and even the hot iphone4, ipad, etc. Once, when I was bored, I was curious to type on the web page on the computer, and when I accidentally browsed the web on the Internet, when I typed in keywords such as "sacrifice" and "dark coin" on a well-known shopping network, I actually searched for more than a thousand various offerings. Many stores also sell paper shrouds with different styles for men and women, as well as shirts and short-sleeved shirts. There are also colorful three-dimensional villas, sports cars, etc.

In an online store, the highest selling price of a paper villa, marked with the label of "Fairy Forest Villa", the price is as high as 3,000 yuan, and the shipping fee is 999 yuan. In the product details, the sofa, TV, wardrobe, balcony and other facilities in the paper villa are very complete.

What is surprising is that the price of those life-like paper ipads seen in Taobao stores is 438 yuan, and the appearance of iphone4 paper phones can even be fake, as well as black and white, the price is 338 yuan, and the transaction amount is as high as millions. Every year during the Qingming Festival, some vendors and merchants even sell "famous products" in paradise at high prices, and dozens of shops selling funeral supplies fill their shelves with paper-paste "gold and silver mountains", "cornucopias", "cash trees" and other memorial supplies. In addition, these shops are closely following the trend of social development, creating a large number of "fashionable" paradise "famous products", and looking at the Qingming business opportunities to sell at high prices.

Many shops put all kinds of "brand-name" household appliances on the shelves and sold them at high prices. "Household appliances are 10 yuan per piece, small villas are 20 yuan, and 'famous cars' such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche that can slide are more than 30 yuan per piece." The owner of a shop pΓΉ introduced to reporters. These "famous products", which range in price from 10 yuan to 30 yuan, are actually made of simple processing of raw materials such as bamboo strips and colored paper pieces. An industry insider once revealed to me the secret, these goods actually cost at most one or two yuan, but before the Qingming Festival, they were sold at 10 times higher prices, and even so, there were many people who booked or bought them, and the goods were still in short supply.

At that time, I felt very ridiculous at what they were doing, and I thought that this was a very unhealthy thought, and the reason why these exaggerated sacrifices had a market and could enter the eyes of the common people was of course because the common people hoped that their relatives in the underworld would enjoy the same treatment as they did in the yang world. This phenomenon is like the ancient princes who would bury treasures after their deaths, and always thought that the underworld would enjoy wealth in the future. I have imagined several times that if there really is a netherworld, then it means that the netherworld is naturally the same as the yang, and it is necessary to use money to consume, but will the money in the underworld be the same as the yang? Can the gold and silver of the yang world still be used in the underworld?

Without thinking about it, I took a deep breath, and then raised my eyes to look at Xing Yongfu, at this time he was looking at me in a daze, I shrugged my shoulders, stretched out my right hand to apologize, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Uncle Yongfu, please continue." ”

Xing Yongfu took a deep breath and continued: That day, Yongcai was just about to insert the cash cow into the grave, but unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind and sand suddenly blew in the sky, and the wind and sand blew us so that we couldn't open our eyes, and then the wind and sand blew the cash cow in Yongcai's hand to the pile of grandpa's grave, Yongcai climbed to the top of the grave in a panic, he wanted to take down the paper cash tree, and then insert it on the side of his grandfather's grave. But...... However, he had just climbed onto the grave, and before he could reach out and touch the cash cow, he suddenly fell from it. Then his lips began to turn purple, his eyes were hollow, and his face was paler than white paper. ”

"At that time I thought he was just sick and didn't pay much attention to him, but it wasn't long before I suddenly noticed that Yongcai had touched the toad next to the grave with his hand, and I thought he was catching the toad at first. At that time, I was secretly angry and scolded him for not making a mess in front of my grandfather's grave. However, when we were about to leave after the worship, I suddenly found that my grandfather's grave was full of dead toads, and the bodies of those toads had rotted and there was a pungent fishy smell. ”

"Yongcai suddenly stared at me with a pair of evil eyes, looked me up and down strangely, his face was distorted, his lips moved, a large square mouth aimed at my neck, I was frightened and retreated, at that moment I felt like a fierce beast, he actually wanted to devour me alive."

I panicked and asked him, "Yongcai, ...... you What do you want? ”

He replied, "These toads on the ground look delicious......"

"I was so shocked and angry that I slapped him three times in the face and pointed at his nose and cursed."

I scolded, "You're fucking insane, these things stink, can't you smell them?" Such a stinky thing will kill people if you eat it. ”

He glared at me and sneered: "Who said that stinky things can't be eaten, don't you even eat stinky tofu?" ”

"I was so angry that I slapped him in the face again, I thought he would be very angry, but he didn't react, and rushed home alone in a very abnormal way."

By the time Xing Yongfu said this, I had already guessed that Xing Yongcai, who went home alone, must have been possessed by the ghost when he was inserting a cash cow, in fact, Yongcai's brain and thoughts had been controlled by the ghost, and his actions were all controlled by the ghost. He himself didn't know anything at all
