Chapter Twenty-Five: Cutting Evil Thoughts
Later, I could only walk out of her house with the mooncake box, and there was an extra thousand yuan in the box that should have been picked up by me.
It's just that at this moment, my mood is not at all the joy of picking up 11,000 yuan, but worrying.
Because of people, I didn't care about the old lady and daughter-in-law's mouth to get any useful details, only that her mother-in-law carried the green onions that were drying upstairs in the stairs. Then I saw the stack of money at my door, and then I happily picked it up and went home, but it was not going to be done that night.
The only useful detail may be that she said that her mother-in-law had a terrified expression and wide eyes when she died.
I went back to the house, thought about it carefully, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was evil, so I called the unit and asked for leave, and then took a taxi and went to the ghost street.
The ghost street we have here is actually a street for getting funeral supplies, and there are also many small fortune-telling stores in it, so I walked around. I found a small shop that looked good and went in.
The old man closed his eyes for a long time without squeaking, and when he opened his eyes, he asked me, "Young man, do you know why people at your door have paper money?" ”
I shook my head in confusion, thinking to myself, I fucking know and still come and ask you?
The old man and the old god took a sip of the tea on the table. Then he said to me, "That's the old lady paying you back." ”
I was stupid and said, "What? I didn't lend her money either! ”
The old man smiled and said, "That's the money that should have been picked up by you, but it was picked up by the old lady, and some people were unhappy, so the old lady could only use the dead man's money to pay you back." ”
Although the old man's tone was relaxed, it made me feel cold sweat. I hurriedly asked the old man, "Then who threw this money at my door?" What do you mean by giving me money when it's okay? ”
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, do you know what kind of money this is?" ”
I shook my head and looked at him nervously, and the old man took a sip of tea and said, "This is your life money." ”
"What? Buying life money? "I listened to it at the time, and my eyes almost didn't fall out, and my mouth shouted out in an instant.
The old man was just on my shoulder, telling me not to get excited, and then poured me a cup of tea before continuing, "This person, there is a lot of money you have earned in your life, and you have spent it all, and you will almost live to the end." This is the money you are giving you is equivalent to the money you want to make in this life. It's all sent to you in advance, and then you spend it all, and it's not far from death, which is called life money. ”
The old man's words made my mouth dry, and I took a sip of the tea on the table, and then asked him, "Uncle, then you mean that this person who sent me money wants my life?" ”
The old man nodded with a leisurely expression, and my first thought was that the old man was fooling me, but as soon as I heard him say that someone wanted my life. I was still a little panicked, so I asked him, "Uncle, what should I do?" You'll have to help me! "Pinch and pinch technique.
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at me and said, "Did you spend the money you picked up?" ”
I thought about something, and with cold sweat oozing on my face, I nodded, but Ma Chen shook his head and said, "I just spent a little, and I didn't move the money for the first three days, today's 10,000, and the 1,000 that the old lady picked up!" ”
The old man first let out a long sigh, then pouted his lips and said, "It's not a question of how much it spent, but whether it has been spent. ”
The more he didn't speak, the more anxious I became, although I felt like he was fooling me there, but I was really more and more panicked by what he said.
As soon as I thought about it, I still had the 10,000 I picked up at home anyway, so I was ruthless, so I took out my pocket and put a hundred yuan on the table and said, "Uncle, I have these in my pocket, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get it, you can help me think of a way!" ”
Then I made a point of emphasizing that this was my money, not that I picked it up.
The old man stroked his beard, thought about something and said to me, "Actually, what I said is that I can't do it because I want to hit it hard, but the bell must be tied to the bell, if the person who sent you the money breaks the game himself, you can still be saved." ”
As soon as I heard the old man say this, I felt that he was obviously playing with me just now, just waiting for me to pay for it, I was a little unhappy, but the money was already on the table, and I couldn't get it back, so I frowned and asked him, "The point is that I haven't seen that person, how can I let him break this game by himself?" ”
The old man put the money away and asked me, "Think about it, have you offended anyone lately?" ”
I sat there with my head down and thought hard for a long time, and finally I could only shake my head, at most, someone secretly looked at me unpleasantly, but even if it was a little unpleasant, but it wouldn't kill me, so I really couldn't think of it.
The old man looked at me and shook his head, so he thought about something and asked me, "You didn't throw away the box containing the money this morning, did you?" ”
I nodded vigorously, and the old man nodded and walked out, and when he came in again, he had a few more willow leaves outside the door in his hand, and then he went to the back room in the afternoon and brought out a bowl of water, and asked me to prick my finger and drip a few drops of blood into the bowl, and at noon put the willow leaves, mashed and put them into the bowl, and finally took out a piece of yellow paper from my pocket, and asked me to write on the paper with the pierced finger according to what he said.
What he said was a bit like classical Chinese, but it probably meant that letting the person who gave me the money let me go, I was ignorant and accidentally offended him before, but as long as he broke the game, everything was negotiable.
After I had finished writing, the old man never touched the yellow paper again, but he took a brush and drew a talisman on the back of the paper, and told me to put the paper in the box at night, and put it outside the door, and when I put it away, I thought of burning some paper money.
As soon as I heard that I had to burn paper money, I asked him with a puzzled face, "Why do you have to burn paper money?" Is it for the old Mrs. Wu who just died next door? ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "You didn't think about how the money was delivered to your door, and no one else has picked up the money at your door, just this old lady picked it up?" ”
I shook my head and looked at him blankly, and the old man snorted and said, "That person must have done something in the place where you lived, and covered it with your hair or fingernails, and no one else should be able to see the money except you, but the old lady is about to reach the limit, and the yang energy is weak and the yin energy is heavy, so she can see the money." ”
Although I didn't quite believe this old man just now, but now after listening to his words, I still feel a burst of light. The old man looked at me with a puzzled face, and then he said to my shoulder, "Don't worry, young man, he is a way to hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage himself by eight hundred, and if he really harms you, he himself will not be better." ”
After he finished speaking, I glared at him angrily, what kind of comfort is he, obviously standing and talking without backache.
But then I remembered that he still had something to explain, so I asked him, "Uncle, why did he send the money to my door, after so many times, he is not afraid of being seen?" ”
When I asked, I wondered in my heart, if I squatted at the door tonight, would I be able to catch this person? However, the old man said coldly, "It wasn't sent by him, it was sent by the little ghost he raised." ”
I was stupid when I heard it, why is this still a little ghost?
It took me a long time to speak in the afternoon, but no matter how much I inked with the old man, the old man just refused to accompany me home, but just said that I should put the yellow paper in the evening, and then come back to him tomorrow.
As soon as I saw that this old man would definitely not go back with me, I had no choice but to give up and go back by myself, to be honest, I still don't believe in this matter, but I just think that it is too easy for me to make him earn a hundred dollars.
After I got home, I made my own stuttering, and after eating, I was bored in the house watching TV and waiting for dark, and the paper money was bought as early as when I came back.
I don't know if it's because the TV at noon is too boring, I actually fell asleep watching it, and then in my dreams I always heard someone call my name, and when I opened my eyes, there was only the sound of TV in the room, so I slept in a daze, and when I woke up, it was completely dark.
As soon as I saw that it was time, I took my things and went out, there were no sensor lights in our corridor, and usually only the moonlight from the corridor window was bright, but today was a cloudy day, and the dark light outside was useless, but there was the candlelight from the old Wu family mourning hall next door.
The candlelight flickered gently, illuminating the entire corridor in a flickering light, and there was an indescribable gloom. R832
