Chapter 52: Anxiety Doll
Sister Jiang's husband opened the door for me, and after I changed my shoes, she took me directly to the bedroom on the second floor.
The moment I saw Sister Jiang, I was really taken aback, it was only six o'clock in the morning, she was wearing white floral pajamas, her hair was scattered, leaning on the back of the bed, her face was very bad, and the dark circles under her eyes were deeper.
Overnight, it was as if she had suddenly become terminally ill.
I walked over and asked softly, "Sister Jiang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sister Jiang took my hand and shook her head: "I can't stand it, Bai Li, I really can't stand it, I was actually in a good mood yesterday, I chatted with my husband for a while, and I was ready to go to bed at eight o'clock, as soon as I closed my eyes, I began to dream, and all kinds of villains were flying in my head, each of them yelling at me hysterically, asking me why I didn't fulfill my promise." ”
"Do you know what I look like?"
"I was like a heinous sinner being held on the execution ground, and all the victims and their families were condescendingly accusing me of paying for my life!"
"All night, I woke up and fell asleep, just fell asleep and was awakened, and later, my husband kept talking to me with me and letting me relax, but in the end, my eyes couldn't help but droop down, so I took a double eyelid sticker to glue the eyelids up, glued several layers, and finally survived until dawn."
"If this continues, my life will really be ruined, I feel that my time is running out, but my children are so young, I can't bear it, I really can't bear it."
She cried as she spoke, her eyes were a little swollen because of the double eyelid patches that had been applied many times overnight, and her mental state was worrying.
If it goes on like this, even if there is nothing to do, she will be defeated by herself first.
I held her hand tightly and comforted her, and I saw her husband standing at the door, looking distressed.
In this case, nothing else works, I have to make her feel at ease, I have to put her to sleep.
Thinking of this, I took out a peace blessing from my backpack and said to Sister Jiang very seriously: "Sister Jiang, have you seen this peace blessing?" I went to the temple yesterday to consecrate for you, and believe me, nothing will hurt you if you wear it. ”
"Really?" Sister Jiang suddenly grasped the talisman, as if she had grasped the last straw.
I nodded firmly: "I can still lie to you, now I'll help you put it on, you close your eyes and sleep, I'll be by your side, if there is any change, I promise to catch that thing as soon as possible." ”
Sister Jiang was busy responding, I put the red rope of Ping An Fu from her head, and the Ping An Fu that fell at the lower end of the red rope just touched Sister Jiang's chest, spontaneously combusted without fire, and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
I was shocked, and when Sister Jiang was in a state of weakness, I didn't notice, so I put my hands on her chest, held the ashes in my hand, and then stuffed the red rope that had lost peace and happiness into her pajamas.
At the same time, I touched Sister Jiang wearing another necklace around her neck, and there was also a pendant on the necklace.
I lifted the necklace with my hand, slid my hand down, held the pendant in my hand, and said to Sister Jiang: "This chain has to be taken down, otherwise it will affect the effect of peace and happiness." ”
Sister Jiang nodded, and I helped her take it off, and then looked down at the pendant.
It is a piece of gold inlaid jade, dark green, the texture is very good at a glance, the overall shape is a blooming lily, inverted type, cold silk in the hand.
The texture of the jade itself is a bit cold, which is not surprising.
I said casually: "This jade pendant is so beautiful, Sister Jiang, it cost a lot of money when I bought it, right?" ”
"I didn't buy it, it was on my birthday, Ji Lin gave it to me and just got it back yesterday, and Ji Lin asked about it when we had dinner together during the day yesterday, so I put it on when I came back, so as not to be nagged by her next time we meet." Sister Jiang said.
I held the necklace in my hand and said, "Sister Jiang, go to sleep, I won't leave until you wake up, don't worry, there won't be any problems." ”
Sister Jiang didn't let go of my hand, she just closed her eyes, I waited for more than half an hour, and her breathing slowly became even, which was really asleep.
I waited a little longer, carefully withdrew my hand, and then walked out of the bedroom lightly.
Sister Jiang's husband has been guarding the door of the bedroom, and I beckoned to him and motioned for him to talk to me.
Sister Jiang's husband is called Shu Qiming, he is tall and big, very handsome, he teaches art, he is very tasteful in all aspects of dressing, and he doesn't look impatient, this is the third time we have met, and I have a good impression of him.
Shu Qiming took me to the next room, the door was not closed, and he always paid attention to Sister Jiang's movements.
After sitting down, he asked me, "Miss Bai, do you have something to tell me?" ”
I held the necklace in my hand, put it under the table, and then asked Shu Qiming: "I want to ask you, Ji Lin, what do you think?" ”
"Isn't it too good to talk about others behind your back like this, Miss Bai?" Shu Qiming said.
I shook my head: "You don't have to hide, between you and Ji Lin, it's not as simple as it seems on the surface, Sister Jiang is a fan of the authorities, but it doesn't mean that others can't see some clues." ”
"Miss Bai, what do you mean by that? Do you think Ji Lin and I can't have a leg? Shu Qiming was obviously a little angry, "It's nothing for you to say this in front of me, but please don't mention it in front of Jiang Zhen, she trusts you so much, please don't hurt her again." ”
When Shu Qiming spoke, he stared at me with burning eyes, without the slightest dodge, and his eyes were very open, not like he had done something wrong.
Is he too mentally tough, or is my suspicion wrong?
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Of course I won't hurt Sister Jiang, but as her husband, you must be heartbroken to see her like this, right?" ”
"Of course my heart hurts, and I will do my best to protect her." Shu Qiming said.
I smiled and suddenly asked, "What was the jasmine perfume smell on you the other day?" I remember that Sister Jiang has always been scented with gardenias. ”
Shu Qiming was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, which I keenly captured, and without waiting for him to answer, I continued: "That day, before you came back from work, you met Ji Lin, didn't you?" ”
Shu Qiming's lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it after all, he lowered his head, put his hands together, and his fingers kept flicking.
"Some thoughts and actions in a person's subconscious mind cannot deceive others." I further said, "Although Ji Lin is Sister Jiang's best friend, when you play together, she actually pays more attention to you than Sister Jiang, even if you try not to respond, but your deliberate avoidance can be seen at a glance that you are not right with Ji Lin." ”
"Don't say it, I have nothing to do with Ji Lin." Shu Qiming finally opened his mouth, "I don't think anything wrong about Ji Lin, I know what kind of woman is suitable to be my wife, Jiang Zhen is very good, a hundred times better than Ji Lin, I will never betray Jiang Zhen." ”
"Good." I said, "I believe you, but to be honest, I don't believe in Ji Lin. ”
Shu Qiming looked at me puzzled, obviously didn't expect me to say that I believed him, I continued to ask, "Do you know her husband's background?" ”
"I know that her husband is in the perfume business, and the business is very big, not only in Jiangcheng, but also in other places and even XG, but ...... He doesn't seem to be nice to Ji Lin. Shu Qiming sighed, as if he was about to open up, and opened the conversation.
"I, Jiang Zhen and Ji Lin were originally alumni, I was one year older than them, and they each went back to school to become teachers, and then I slowly became familiar with them."
"The first thing I met was Ji Lin, she had a cheerful and lively personality, and she was also very bright and moving, many boys were chasing her at that time, and a friend of mine was her fanatical admirer, but she never dared to show her heart, because Ji Lin is stronger, and ordinary people can't get into her eyes, but she also has a good relationship with men, and she will not refuse too much when she invites her to dinner."
"Therefore, every time my friend invites Ji Lin to dinner, he will call me to help him strengthen his courage, and Ji Lin's relationship with Jiang Zhen is notoriously good, and she also takes Jiang Zhen with her many times."
"I fell in love with Jiang Zhen at first sight, when I saw her for the first time, there was a voice in my heart telling me that I wanted to marry this woman as my wife, but my personality is actually not too open, and I have never dared to confess to her, and then once we went to climb the mountain together, Jiang Zhen's foot twisted, I took the initiative to carry her down from the mountain, personally sent to the hospital, and took care of her for several days in a row, and finally moved her, and I also confessed."
"You have also seen our family life, very happy, each has hobbies, but the hobby gap is not very big, belongs to the like-minded kind, she also gave birth to a son, a daughter and two children for me, how can I not love her?"
"But what she didn't know was that Ji Lin harassed me more than once."
Shu Qiming paused for a moment, he didn't seem to want to mention it, I was also surprised, sure enough, there was still a problem between Shu Qiming and Ji Lin, but what I didn't expect was that Shu Qiming was a complete ...... in this relationship Considered a victim?
"Harassment is not counted, it's the kind of thing that will invite you to dinner when I see you alone, the kind that cannot be refused, during the meal, I will have physical contact with you from time to time, although it is not excessive, but it makes people reverie."
"I am very disgusted with such a woman, and I once hinted to Jiang Zhen, such a person is not suitable to be a girlfriend, but Jiang Zhen seems to be obsessed with Ji Lin, as long as I say that Ji Lin is not good, she will say that I am jealous of her revolutionary friendship with Ji Lin, and I don't believe that her good girlfriend will be behind her."
"I'm a person with a better temper, I don't like it, I don't like it, so every time I unceremoniously push Ji Lin away, I remember the most serious time, it was she who sat on my lap with the strength of wine, was pushed down by me, and warned her to make this matter public."
"I just warned her, but I don't know why, she left her job, disappeared for a while after leaving the job, and when she reappeared, she had hooked up with her current husband and began to send things to Jiang Zhen constantly, and the relationship between the two returned to before, like a conjoined baby."
"After Ji Lin came back, she was not as bold to me as before, but the hints have always been there, we went out to eat together a few days ago, and you were also there at the time, so you should be able to feel it."
"People all over the world can realize the crisis, but Jiang Zhen will always turn a blind eye, and when she talks about the point, it is like having no heart and lungs, and no one can question her in the world."
I also feel speechless, my husband, will he still lie to his beloved self? Even if it's a lie, it's a white lie.
The more Shu Qiming spoke, the more annoyed he became, and finally stood up and walked back and forth twice, as if he wanted to find an outlet to vent himself.
I can see that Sister Jiang's affairs during this period of time are also a kind of torment, this man is indeed a good man.
However, there is a very flirtatious vixen hidden next to him.
"Actually, I've always suspected that Jiang Zhen will become what he is now, and it is likely to have something to do with Ji Lin." Shu Qiming returned to me and sat down and became serious, "In the years when Ji Lin resigned and left, Jiang Zhen and I didn't live too happily, but after Ji Lin came back, I found that our life was not as good as before, Jiang Zhen had a close relationship with her, and it was easy for her to harm Jiang Zhen." ”
At this time, I took out the necklace that had been hidden under the table, put it on the table, and said to Shu Qiming: "This necklace, mainly this pendant, is likely to have a problem, I need time to verify it, you have to cooperate with me, okay?" ”
Shu Qiming stared at the necklace for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "This necklace was given to Jiang Zhen by Ji Lin, yes, I remember, it seems that Jiang Zhen started dreaming, and it started from this necklace hanging around her neck." ”
My eyes lit up: "Are you sure?" ”
Shu Qiming thought about it carefully again, and nodded definitely: "I dare to guarantee, it was at that time, I remember that it was Jiang Zhen's birthday, yes, I'm sure." ”
Shu Qiming affirmed again and again, and I knew it in my heart.
Jiang Zhen said that this chain was broken a few days ago, and I took it to repair, and I just got it back yesterday, so the last time I came, this chain was not at home, even if I burned incense, I didn't find the source.
The necklace is gold, the pendant is jade, upside down in the hand, there is weight, cool silk, and the gold edge is also very delicate, and I can't see any difference.
But I still asked Shu Qiming: "Can I take this chain to study, maybe it will be broken, and I will repair it as much as possible and return it to you, is it okay?" ”
This chain is worth a lot of money at a glance, especially the jade that makes the pendant, how precious it is, if it is broken, I may not be able to afford it.
Shu Qiming waved his hand and said, "You can take it, such an evil thing, I can't wait to throw it away." ”
I was about to say thank you, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly asked, "Are you going to take it and open this pendant?" ”
I immediately nodded: "Yes, from the outside, I don't see any problems, but it doesn't mean that there is no problem inside, sometimes even this jade ......"
"You don't need to say it, I'm engaged in art, and it also involves ancient calligraphy and painting, I'm half an expert in this line, you give me the necklace, I'll open it first." Shu Qiming stretched out his hand to me.
I just remembered, yes, it's better to find someone else than to find him, after all, he can be regarded as Jiang Zhen's closest person now.
I handed the necklace to Shu Qiming, he went to the study, I cautiously went to the bedroom, and glanced at Jiang Qi's situation.
I don't know if it's daytime, or because the necklace was taken down, Jiang Zhen is sleeping quite soundly this time.
I silently retreated, went back to the room just now and drank tea, waiting for Shu Qiming's results.
At that time, in fact, I also thought of a lot of bad endings, such as that the necklace and pendant were not the slightest problem, and my guess was all wrong.
I even realized that today I was led by Shu Qiming's story, maybe he is good at disguise, and he is with Ji Lin, so what should I do?
After thinking about it for a while, he heard anxious footsteps outside, and when he looked up, he saw Shu Qiming, who was a little excited, standing outside the door, he pointed outside, tried his best to suppress his emotions and said, "If you find something, follow me to the study." ”
I immediately followed, the study was on the second floor, not big, but the smell of ink was very strong, and there were some ancient paintings hanging on the walls, which should be a precious collection.
Shu Qiming was already standing inside the desk, looking at me, and on the desk in front of him, there were a number of delicate tools, in front of the tools, there was a jade pendant that had been cut open, and the gold wire with the edge was wrapped in a small transparent plastic bag.
The moment I saw the jade pendant, it seemed that everything was understood.
The jade pendant is semi-hollow, the jade quality is good, and the shape is also very beautiful, but the jade pendant itself is cut in half and hollowed out from the middle.
And now in the hollowed-out part, there is a ...... lying quietly Dolls.
I don't know what the material of the little doll is, it looks a little rough, the size of a small thumb in the first section, but it has a nose and eyes, and it is wearing a red and black skirt, and it looks serene, and it doesn't look like a vicious thing.
When I saw this scene, I suddenly remembered Lu Zhao's words, and he asked Jiang Zhen, are you offering something.
At that time, Jiang Zhen also packed the ticket and said that it was impossible for her to worship things, she was an atheist before, but now, she was indeed fooled because of the worship of things, and provoked unclean things.
I looked at the little puppet, left and right, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
People generally worship, except for tablets, temples and whatever, it is a Buddha card, Kuman Thong and the like, but I have never seen such a small one enshrined.
Shu Qiming asked me, "Do you know what this is?" ”
I shook my head: "I can't see it for the time being, but I'm sure it's this thing that has caused Sister Jiang a series of bad memories, and I need to study it carefully." ”
"Ji Lin, I'm going to kill you!" Shu Qiming was furious, and he was about to rush out, being pulled by us.
"You calm down first, although we know the secret inside this pendant, but this is just the beginning, there are still many things involved in the future, let's figure out what this is first, and then talk about other things." I suppressed Shu Qiming's fire qidao.
Since Ji Lin can put this thing in the jade pendant and give it to Jiang Zhen, then she must know what it is, how effective it is, and who taught her this?
Jiang Zhen's current situation is so bad, what if Ji Lingou jumps over the wall in a hurry and really kills Jiang Zhen?
Shu Qiming is a smart person, what I can think of, he must be able to think through, so he didn't run out impulsively.
I took out my mobile phone, flipped out Gu Xiaoxiao's WeChat, took a photo of the doll and sent it over, asked her if she knew what it was, and told her not to make a noise.
After sending it, I kept waiting, and I didn't have much hope in my heart.
If Yunshuang hadn't gone out to do errands, I actually wanted her to come over and have a look, Lu Wuye must know more about these things, but I don't want to reveal anything to them.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know if she hadn't seen WeChat, or if she was busy identifying and searching, and she hadn't given me any information for a while, I was a little anxious, and when I wanted to call to urge, Gu Xiaoxiao's phone called.
As soon as I picked it up, she hurriedly said, "Ah Li, where did you get that puppet?" Are you okay? ”
"I'm sure I'm fine, otherwise how would I send you an MMS, Xiaoxiao, do you recognize that doll?" I asked.
"I don't know, but I showed it to my grandfather, and he said it was a worry relief doll." Gu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Worry relief doll? What is this? "Why haven't I heard of it before?
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "Anxiety doll, as the name suggests, is to help people solve problems with offerings, it is said to be very effective, as long as you have the owner of this worry doll, tell your worries to the doll, worship more, do more good deeds, the doll can help people with troubles to a certain extent." ”
"But the worry doll is the same as all the worshippers, there are requirements for the worshippers, how to worship, when to worship, when to make a vow after the offering, there are a series of rules, once you break this rule, you will die ugly."
"This thing is too evil." I couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Xiaoxiao's words were not finished: "Anxiety relief dolls are very popular in some countries, but there are not many of them in my country, how did you get this thing?" ”
"It was a client who asked me for help and cut it out of her pendant." As I spoke, I thought about it, and suddenly frowned, "Listen to what you say, this worry-relieving doll is a good thing, as long as it is enshrined, it can indeed solve problems for others, isn't it?" ”
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao replied, "But the offering is not appropriate, and if you can't repay your vows in time, this worry-relieving doll may also backfire on the host." ”
"Yes, that's what I want to say, so how do I tell whether the anxiety relief doll in my hand is good or bad?" This question is very important, if the one in the jade pendant is good, I destroy it for no reason, and it is likely to cause fire.
Gu Xiaoxiao said: "You carefully lift the top of this worry-relieving doll's head to take a look, if it is red inside, it is good, if it is black inside, it is bad, you must be careful, don't break it, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”
I became even more nervous when I heard this, looking at the worry-free doll, I felt more terrifying than Gu Man Tong, turned to look at Shu Qiming, and said, "Mr. Shu, it's better for you to come, my hand is unsteady." ”
