Chapter 5: The Nameless Spirit Tablet

Hearing the sound of the key inserting into the door, Wei Fang knew that Meng Gaozhao, who was on the other side of the door, had returned.

It was unrealistic for the two of them to put their things down and then take a car back and forth for more than an hour to buy cleaning tools to clean the house. When they returned home, they were almost exhausted and paralyzed, and they had no energy to sweep the house to clean up the dust.

He waited for Meng Gaozhao for half an hour, and then heard Meng Gaozhao go home.

Cuckoo found two leaflets and put them on the dusty bed, and the two sat on the wooden bed with newspapers and played with their mobile phones.

Wei Flail walked to the door of Meng Gaozhao's house on the other side.

He knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother Meng, are you at home?" ”

"Wait, it's coming soon."

After a while, Meng Gaozhao opened the door, and Wei Fang smelled the smell of realgar, the unique smell of burning incense candles.

He looked into the room curiously, and his heart was startled.

Incense has always been associated with ghosts and gods, and he suddenly regretted it, just looking at a person's appearance, he gave this person complete trust.

Today is not a festival, nor is it the time to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is very suspicious to light incense at this time.

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he is not afraid of those things that are not there, but Meng Gaozhao is a living person, his arms are powerful, extremely thick, and his palms have thick calluses, and he knows at a glance that he is doing manual work all year round. Although he is not a pampered young master in the family, he is definitely not as strong as Meng Gaozhao, who does manual work.

In case, the other party is not a good person......

A cold sweat broke out on Wei Fang's forehead.

Meng Gaozhao was slightly stunned when he saw Wei Flails at the door, and then came back to his senses and said to him, "You are the young man who moved from the door, right?" Looking for me to borrow a broom and a broom? ”

"Oh, yes, I'm here to borrow cleaning tools from you, and we're going to clear the bed first, and then we'll get the cleaning tools ready the next day."

Wei Fang's inquiring eyes did not hide from Meng Gaozhao, he was very calm.

"I have a good relationship with my dead mother, and I will put incense on her every day, but I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to put incense on her, so I came back to make up for it."

As soon as Meng Gaozhao said this, Wei Fang's tense heartstrings immediately relaxed.

"Do you want to come in and sit down, drink a glass of water and leave, by the way, I haven't said my name yet, how do you know that my surname is Meng?"

He invited Wei Feng into the house to sit.

It was impossible for Wei Feng to tell Meng Gaozhao as he had told the two of them according to what the landlord had told them.

"Aunt Fang mentioned you to us and said that you are a good person."

"Oh?"

Although Meng Gaozhao had doubts in his heart, he did not delve into it.

He handed the broom and broom to Wei Flai.

"Look at my memory."

Wei Flais patted his head, and he asked, "Brother Meng, do you have a mop here?" If so, can you lend it to me? When you get home, I'll give you back the tools when the time comes. ”

"No hurry, no hurry. You can use it first, and when you are done, just put it in front of my house, and no one will take this little thing. ”

Wei Fang felt Meng Gaozhao's kindness.

He said gratefully: "Brother Meng, thank you so much, then I won't bother you first, my girlfriend is still waiting for me to go home as a coolie." ”

He jokingly said goodbye to Meng Gaozhao and walked out of Meng Gaozhao's room with cleaning tools.

Meng Gaozhao closed the door of the house and locked it after Wei Flail left.

There are two spirit tablets on the incense case, one is engraved with his mother's name: his mother Ling Xinran's unfilial son Meng Gao Zhaoli, and the other spirit card does not have any inscription, it is an anonymous spirit card.

Meng Gaozhao sighed and inserted three pillars of incense into the nameless spirit card next to him.

He didn't lie to Wei Flai, he was paying tribute to his mother, but not only to his mother, but also to those who were sorry for him.

This was a nightmare hidden in his heart, and after his mother's death, he suddenly realized how excessive what he had done in the first place, and although the police did not find his head, his conscience could not go away, so he could only offer them three pillars of incense every day and beg for their forgiveness.

He didn't know if this would work, but he asked a charlatan to set up a spirit card for the dead and offer incense to resolve their grievances.

This habit has been persisting for 12 years at once, and this year is already the thirteenth year.

He did not marry and have children, because he felt that a sinner like himself did not deserve happiness, and that it was the best destination for him to wait quietly for a man like him, whose hands were covered with the ashes of the dead, to wait quietly for the end to come.

Remembering the past, he burst into tears.

He said guiltily: "It's me who deserves to die, I'm sorry for you, the doctor didn't save my mother, maybe it's a punishment for me, the money I earned is not clean." After so many years, you should also be discouraged and step into reincarnation as soon as possible, which will be good for you. ”

He looked at his mother's spirit card.

"Mom, it's my son who is not filial, you taught me to be an upright person when I was a child, and you know that I am not a big traitor, but for a while...... I didn't think about it for a while, but you are my only remaining relative in this world, and I really can't bear to see you die in a hospital bed because you have no money for treatment. ”

He looked at the nameless spirit card again: "If you want revenge, come to me, my mother has never done anything wrong in her life, she is a person of good character, and she is also a good ghost after she dies, you must not bully her." I also know that you have a grudge in your heart, it doesn't matter, if I live a few more years, I will almost die, you come to me, my mother is innocent......"

He fell to his knees and knocked his head three times.

Wiping away the tears that flowed out, Meng Gaozhao hung up and walked out of the door, outside this door, he was the helpful Brother Meng.

The candlelight in the room flickered, flickering on and off, and the half-hidden curtains fluttered and fluttered, flickering and flickering, like countless ghosts dancing wildly, performing a terrible stage play of the dead.

This stage play seems to have scarlet eyeballs open, and once a living person breaks in, they will immediately lose their bones.

The wind suddenly became stronger, and after the candle burned violently, the wax oil flowed down the wax body, condensing into a pale and transparent wax tear.

The nameless spirit card was blown by the strong wind, and the body of the card began to shake, and in the violent swing again and again, it fell to the spirit card next to it, knocking down Meng Gaozhao's mother's spirit card. The dark red spirit card fell into the incense case, stirring up a burst of white ash, and the body of the card was also stained with a lot of white ash.

……

Wei and Cuckoo first cleaned the room, and then removed the gray curtains that were almost impossible to see their original color.

Then they removed the bed board of the hardwood bed and wiped it with a damp cloth and dried it in the house, if it was washed directly with water, these bed boards could not be dried at night, he was also handy at doing this, when he was a child, when he went back to his hometown to live with his grandparents, he slept on this kind of hardwood plank bed, which was mostly made by the villagers from their own materials and carpenters.

He also helped his grandparents with limited mobility to wash the bed boards, and in the summer, when the weather was uncertain, he often had to stare at the sky so that he could go home and collect the bed boards. Once, when he was in a hurry to go out to play with his friends, he took them home before the bed board was dry, and his grandmother saw that he had counted him down. He remembers very clearly that sleeping on a wet bed board is easy to get rheumatism, and grandma used to say that you will regret it when you reach our age.

He didn't want to get rheumatism all the time.

Next, they wiped down the tables and chairs and the like.

The red and yellow dirt in the toilet, Wei Flais couldn't do anything, he planned to buy a bottle of toilet cleaner tomorrow when he went to buy cleaning tools. A better option is hydrochloric acid, which is more effective against the old dirt of this toilet. But hydrochloric acid is not easy to get, and the price is not cheap, and he is not allowed to get it in terms of time and money, so he can only retreat and buy a bottle of toilet cleaner to see the effect.

After finishing these things, Wei Flail and Cuckoo were so tired that they fell apart.

The cuckoo put on a thick layer of sheets and sat down on the chair before it was dry.

Wei Flail sat against the wall by the window, the only chair was sitting under his girlfriend, how could he grab it, he still spoiled the cuckoo very much for this kind of trivial matter.

"Oh~ Isn't it dirty to sit on the ground?"

The cuckoo pretended to be disgusted.

Wei Flails coughed heavily.

"Comrade Du Juan, you should be careful when you speak, it is the head of our family who is in front of you."

Wei Flails looked like a stinky fart.

Du Juan said disapprerovingly: "Comrade the head of the family, tell me why you are covered in dust, did you dig coal for our family in the coal mine, or did you go to the ground to play with mud and sand?" ”

This is a small game for the two to increase their interest, and Cuckoo will only show such a side when he gets along with Wei Flai.

"Guess?"

"Do you guess me?"

"If you don't guess, then I won't say."

Wei Fang said with a low face, and he would not be willing to beat him if he was sure of the cuckoo.

"No, you have to answer that."

"Okay." Wei Feng said helplessly: "It's not for our unborn child, there are three mouths in the family, so I have to work hard for my father and make more money to support the family." ”

"Nonsense!" The cuckoo spat him: "How flat is my belly?" Like someone with a child? ”

This time Wei Yao's heart was shaken, and he couldn't wait to correct her on the spot immediately.

However, the curtains have been removed, and in broad daylight, he is not seen by others as a hobby of the Spring Palace.

He had no choice but to suppress the small flame rising in his lower abdomen and pass his mouth.

"How hard is this? As long as I work hard and sow seeds on the land, it will not be long before I can reap the fruits of autumn. ”

He whistled loudly.

And the cuckoo naturally understood Wei Fang's obscene words, and she said with a red face: "Shameless! ”

Wei was happy.

"Yes, I'm just shameless, I'm going to do something even more shameless tonight, so that you can see my shamelessness."

The cuckoo blushed and didn't look at Wei Flai, and inadvertently saw a man standing at the window.

The cuckoo was startled and suddenly screamed.

"Ahh

This also startled Wei Fang, and the cuckoo scream must have been frightened.

"What's wrong?"

"Outside the window...... Window...... Someone ......"

"What?!"

Wei Flails quickly stood up and turned to see the men standing outside the window, smiling at them.
