Chapter 4: The Curse
Looking at Xiao Weier's departing figure, I saw that behind her seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black gas, or it could also be said to be covered with a layer of black shadow.
Rubbing my eyes, I thought I was wrong, after all, I had seen too much incredible in the past two days.
By the time I looked at it again, Xiao Weier's figure had already gone away.
It was past six o'clock when I came out of school, and now for me, the only problems to solve at the moment were those things, and as for the rest, it didn't matter.
When I came to the warehouse, Qin Qiong was already waiting for me, and compared to this morning, his face looked ugly, and his face was lacking in blood like me.
I wanted him to give me an answer to last night's incident, but the old man had no intention of opening his mouth, and sat in the porter, cigarette after cigarette, and he didn't hear me no matter what I asked.
The two of us stayed until eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Qiong stood up and left, and I rushed up to block his way.
If something like this happens, as the boss, give me an explanation in general.
"What do you want?" Qin Qiong said unhappily: "You don't listen to my words, I want to explain to you if something happens, how old are you." ”
I.......
Maybe, it's because I feel that I'm at a loss, and I ran out of words for a while, and I didn't know what words to use to reply for a long time.
"You received the red envelope, and you took the coffin."
"That's the explanation."
As he spoke, Qin Qiong pushed me away and was about to leave, I stood up and shouted loudly in my heart: "Okay, then I won't do this job yet." ”
With that, I was ready to leave.
Qin Qiong stopped and turned to look at me.
After seeing his fierce eyes, I was scared from the bottom of my heart and couldn't help but stop.
"Jiang Chen, I might as well tell you the truth, if you continue to work with me, I guarantee that you will be safe and sound."
"You, a person who was born to eat yin, touch these things, and want to get out of it, it's just a dream."
"It's because you didn't listen to Lao Tzu's advice that you were entangled in those things."
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he took out two stacks of dark coins from his pocket and threw them at my feet, looked at me with disdain and said, "This money is not unfamiliar." ”
I looked at Qin Qiong, I had nothing to say, these two piles of dark coins were given to me by the old man who bought the coffin, I saw them at the time, they were indeed real money, and now the only explanation for becoming dark coins is that I really hit a ghost.
Seeing that I had nothing to say, Qin Qiong continued: "Those things are your life, including the red envelopes you receive, they are all your life-selling money. ”
Qin Qiong's every word was slamming my nerves, and it was definitely the first time in my history that such a thing as hitting a ghost.
At this moment, after listening to Qin Qiong's words, I began to mumble again.
If it's really haunted by ghosts, then this matter is really difficult to solve, I've heard before, some people are haunted by ghosts, first they become inhuman and ghost, and then they die in a miserable state.
If I end up like this, I'm afraid I'll die blindly.
As for Qin Qiong, looking at his appearance, there should be a way, but we tore our faces a little just now, and I can't say anything more.
He said that if I continue to work here, it will be fine, so it is not impossible for me to stay here.
"What do you mean when you say I was born to eat yin?" I asked, puzzled.
Qin Qiong glared at me and didn't answer my question.
Seeing him leave, I sat down in the porter and closed the door.
After the events of these two days, I have completely believed in some unknown existence in this world.
Taking out my phone, I began to search, how to avoid these dirty things, it is nothing more than the old ones, wearing amulets and peach wood or something, and another way is to negotiate with the other party.
Don't talk about these things, it's just that I'm scared to death when I see each other, and if the talks break down, I won't have to give my life on the spot.
There is also a way to use black dog blood, if you see something unclean, splash it with black dog blood, but there are different discussions on the Internet, black dog blood can cure evil, and it is easy to attract evil, which is a thing that should be used with caution.
Seeing that my phone was about to run out of battery, I looked at the time, and it was already early in the morning.
Charge your phone, and you will definitely not be able to sleep if you want to sleep.
Sitting on the chair, I looked at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, Zhao Meng last night, if Qin Qiong hadn't lied to me, then I would have really hit a ghost.
Just as I was pondering, there was a knock on the glass window from the outside.
And myself, without exaggeration, has become a frightened bird, and the slightest sound is irritating to me, and the sound of knocking on the glass is so loud that I sit up and stare out the window.
Outside the window, at some point, stood a tall, gray-haired old woman with a stick in her hand.
Seeing me look at her in horror also startled her.
"Well, I'll show my son a coffin, I didn't scare you."
I sat and didn't dare to move, let alone speak.
After calming my heart for a while, I gained the courage to stand up.
According to what is said on the Internet, to judge whether a person is on the body or whether it is a ghost, you have to look at two points, one is to see if it is walking on tiptoe, and the other is to see if it has a shadow.
In this old woman, both of these things are normal.
"Old woman, if you come out alone so late, won't there be any family members who come out to accompany you?"
Come out of the gatehouse and leave the door of the warehouse open.
To say that this old lady's family is also relieved of the old man, when he comes out alone in the middle of the night, if something happens, I'm afraid they won't regret it.
"There is no one at home, just me and my son depend on each other, yesterday my son died in an accident halfway, not even a coffin to be buried, I thought he would be buried tomorrow, specially to choose a coffin for him."
When the old lady said this, I thought he was quite pitiful.
I didn't say anything more when I entered the warehouse, and if I continued to grind on this issue, it would make the old lady uncomfortable.
Seeing the old lady's hesitation, I couldn't help but say, "How many inches of coffin do you want, I can tell you where it is." ”
When the old lady heard me say this, she turned to look at me, looked me up and down, and finally squeezed out this sentence from her mouth: My son is in the same shape as you.
It's just such a sentence that scares me out of the way.
I remember what I had experienced on the first night, and the thin old man had said this when he was choosing a coffin for his daughter, and asked me to help him lie down for a while.
This old woman can't be in the same league as that old thing.
I couldn't help but take a few steps back.
I even want to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
In the short time I was struggling, the old woman spoke.
"Well, I'll go back and measure his size and I'll tell you."
"This is the address of our house, and I don't have a phone number, you come to my house tomorrow morning, and I will give you the size and the coffin money, and you are looking for someone to ship it to me."
As soon as I heard it, this request was not excessive, so I agreed.
When the old woman left, I closed the door of the warehouse, and when I turned to look again, the old woman was gone.
I stayed up until the next morning, when I saw that it was time to get off work, I packed my things and prepared to leave, but I didn't expect Qin Qiong to come over in time.
"Did anyone come to buy a coffin last night?"
After all, it's my boss, and the relationship can't be too stiff.
I told the old lady about it, and Qin Qiong didn't show any expression, so she asked me to leave.
When I got back to school and had breakfast, I took the address that the old lady had given me last night.
To say that the old lady's place is really far enough, in front of me is an old building, it seems to be several years old, the whole wall has basically been covered with moss, except for this old building, the surrounding high-rise buildings are newly built.
It seems that there are not many families in this old building, the old lady is on the sixth floor, and there is no elevator.
When I walked into this old building, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me behind me, although it was daytime, but in the corridor it was like night.
I already knew that there were ghosts in this world, and maybe in that corner, something was staring at me.
I didn't know how to exorcise ghosts, and the tingling sensation of my scalp instantly spread throughout my body.
I finally made it to the sixth floor, and no matter how much I knocked on the door, no one answered me.
Just as I was about to turn to leave, the lock rattled open from inside, and then a faint sound came.
"Come in!"
I thought that the body of the old woman's son was still in the house, and I immediately felt creepy.
"That, I won't go in, the coffin is 20,000 yuan, and you give me the size, and I'll send the coffin to you in a while."
The voice fell, and there was a slight echo behind the hallway.
Only, there was silence in the house, and no one in the house answered me.
"Mother-in-law, are you there?" Standing in the doorway, I tentatively spoke.
There was silence inside the house, and there was no response.
Eventually, I had the courage to open the door and walk in, and I was greeted by a musty smell, and the whole room was very damp, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.
The living room is so small that it can only fit a small table and chair to take up all the space.
With the light coming in from the window, I could barely see what was going on.
"Drink a glass of water first to suppress the shock, and I'll go measure my dead son."
The old lady put the water in her hand into my hand and went into the bedroom.
I didn't want to stay here for a moment, but ten minutes passed, and the old woman didn't move in the bedroom.
Twenty minutes passed......
Half an hour passed......
Realizing that something was wrong, I put down the glass of water in my hand and prepared to leave here, I don't make any money from it.
"Where are you going!"
A melodious voice came from behind me, and I froze in place, trying to move but finding myself unable to move.
The old woman came to me with a pale face and took a soft ruler to measure my height.
She was so close to me that I could smell her, a smell of dead rats.
