Chapter 50: The Cursed Lands
The landlord welcomed a few people in.
Gu Mian sat on the sofa and asked about the textile factory: "I came this time to ask Shenghong Textile Factory, do you know this factory?" ”
The landlord was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I know, I was also an old employee of the factory before...... This apartment building used to be the family building of a textile factory, and the name is almost the same. ”
She said this before Yuwen reacted.
Shenghong Textile Factory and Hongsheng Apartment, the two just changed their names to one word in reverse.
"Then do you know the fire at the Shenghong Textile Factory? I've heard that the fire seems to have killed a woman. ”
The landlord was stunned when she heard this, and she glanced at Gu Mian and the others with a strange look: "What are you asking about this?" ”
"Some of us have something strange going on, and it may have something to do with this dead man."
Hearing this, the landlord's wrinkled face showed an expression of "sure enough", she looked at Gu Mian, and then at the others, looking like she wanted to say something.
After struggling for a while, the landlord spoke again, but this time he kept his voice low, as if he was afraid of being heard: "To be honest, what happened after that woman's death was really strange. ”
Yu Wenhao opened his eyes slightly and looked at the landlord urgently.
The landlord then whispered: "I know that everything related to the fire will not end well......"
She sighed and shook her head as she spoke.
Gu Mian spoke: "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”
"You can't talk nonsense about this, after that person was burned to death, everything that had something to do with her encountered strange things, like a curse, as if everyone was entangled by her"
"After her death, the factory was not very prosperous, and it didn't take long for it to go out of business, and I don't know if it was entangled."
"People who used to have a slightly better relationship with her have been hit by disasters in their families, and I know that they are basically dead."
"Everyone said at the beginning that she died with resentment, so she kept pestering the living, but the worship was also worshipped, and the excesses were exceeded, and even someone invited a goddess to do it, but they couldn't invite her away"
"Later, everyone who knew her had an accident, and at that time, everyone was in danger, and no one dared to mention that person again, for fear that she would be entangled by her if she secretly mentioned it......"
Gu Mian frowned slightly, his resentment was so big, could it be that he killed him?
Yu Wenhao also asked this question: "Who set that fire?" ”
The landlord paused for a moment and hesitated to speak: "She put it herself." ”
Yuwen and several people were strange, if it was suicide, the resentment should not be so big, could there be other hidden secrets in this.
Gu Mian then asked, "Do you know why she set the fire at that time?" ”
Is it because you have been wronged that you want to commit suicide? For example, being cheated of money and sex, if this is the case, it is understandable to become a ghost after committing suicide.
At this time, the landlord suddenly looked around, and lowered his voice to the lowest: "It turns out that I can't say this thing, I'm afraid that I will also be entangled, but if I think about it carefully, I am also old, and I will not live long with an old bone, so I will tell you secretly......"
"That person committed suicide, no one forced her, no one let her be wronged, she really committed suicide, and she had nothing to do with other people."
It's strange, since others didn't let her suffer any grievances, why did she commit suicide?
The landlord continued: "In fact, if she is to blame for this matter, she can only blame herself, everyone knows it in their hearts, but no one dares to say it at that time."
"I remember when she died around 87, when our electric light seemed to have just become popular, there were power outages every day, and the electricity bill was very expensive, and I didn't want to turn it on at night, and I only lit a kerosene lamp, which was covered by a glass cover, you know?"
Gu Mian nodded.
"She was on duty in the warehouse that night, lighting a kerosene lamp, but she took a nap when she was on duty at night, put the lamp aside and fell asleep, and when she woke up in the morning, she saw that the goods in the warehouse had lit the lamp and burned a few boxes"
"People are fine, it seems that the fire is not big, only a dozen boxes of things were burned and extinguished, but those boxes are full of goods."
"The bits and pieces add up to a total of more than 60 yuan, don't think that more than 60 yuan is less, it was 87 years, I remember that at that time our daily salary was a few cents, and at that time 60 yuan was sky-high."
"The factory definitely can't bear these losses by itself, but she feels that she can't afford to pay for it herself, so I discussed with her and asked her to pay half of it first, and the remaining half will be deducted from her salary."
"She was a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, she had never seen anything in the world, where was the money? And there are several sisters in the family, and his father and mother finally stuffed her into the factory by looking for someone to drag the relationship, and she didn't dare to go home and talk about it."
"This matter has been delayed again and again, for more than half a year, and the factory really can't wait, so it said that it was going to find her father."
"She panicked, so she borrowed money everywhere, but who wanted to lend her money, and in the end she couldn't borrow a few dollars"
"If she can't borrow money, she scolds people for being hypocritical, scolding the factory for being impersonal, and forcing people to death"
"After she scolded that day, no one could be found, and the factory thought she had run away, and wanted to go to her house to find her father and mother the next day, but who would have thought that the warehouse would burn again that night, this time it was a monstrous fire."
"The girl who lived in a dormitory with her saw the suicide note she left, she said that she was forced to die by the factory, and she wanted to return to the end with the warehouse of goods"
"But after the fire broke out, she seemed to regret it again, and I happened to be on duty at that time, so I listened to her shouting for help inside, shouting for someone to come in and save her."
"The fire was too big, and it was night, and there were not many people at all, and when she saw that no one had gone in to save her, she cursed...... Saying that it is not good to curse those things that have no conscience to die......"
It didn't take long for her to scold before she was silent inside...... That night, a girl happened to be on duty in the burning warehouse, because it was far away from the fire, although it was also burned, but fortunately she was rescued...... It's that half of my face is burned, and my life is ruined."
"The father and mother of this ruined girl can't afford to raise her, she was given to relatives as soon as she was born, and she was not treated well, and her face was ruined, and her family didn't want her directly"
"When I saw that she was pitiful, I took her in and let her live with me...... Just across the street, if you want to know the specific situation at that time, you can ask her. ”
