From that day on, the woman in the red jacket did not come again.

After Xu Yinyin finished talking to me about the above words, she said: "Originally, I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect to really get the female ghost away, so I think your father Tang Sihai's book is really a bit famous." ”

With all these words, all the skewers I picked up were baked.

When I sent the barbecue to Liang Yuan again, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed a handful of meat skewers and stroked them into his mouth. While eating meat, he kept pouring cold beer into his mouth.

Looking at the empty beer piled on the floor, I was really afraid that he would have a problem drinking.

Not to mention anything else, such a big man, drunk so much that his stomach perforated and sent him to the hospital, doesn't that tire me to death? I've been running the "ghost diet" for a long time, and I've seen too many people who have problems drinking because they don't drink in moderation.

There are so many misfortunes in this world that are due to a lack of self-control.

My dad is still in the hospital, and I don't want to get into any more trouble.

So I said, "Since I said that I would have a treat, then the wine and meat will be enough, so you can take it easy and don't spoil your stomach." "My words didn't have any effect, Liang Yuan next to him was still eating meat and drinking a lot.

Xu Yinyin followed, she sat next to me and stared at Liang Yuan for a while, she suddenly said, "Tang Xiaofan, is this your boyfriend?" ”

I was in a hurry, and quickly said, "Of course not, he is my ......"

I was stunned, and I didn't know how to introduce it, saying that it was a neighbor, as if I owed a little meaning, and saying that it was a friend, but it was not counted. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally found a suitable term: "He is me...... An acquaintance. ”

Actually, whether Liang Yuan is my boyfriend or not doesn't matter to Xu Yinyin at all.

After she lit another cigarette, she said, "Tang Xiaofan, I have to find a time to see Tang Sihai." Anyway, I'm ...... with him."

Speaking of which, she thought about it too.

yes, what is her relationship with my dad? Looking at Liang Yuan, who was eating a lot of food next to him, Xu Yinyin spit out a smoke ring: "Your father and I are also acquaintances." ”

I groaned, my face uneasy. This woman really knows how to learn and use it. You pursued my dad and were rejected, Liang Yuan and I are just reunited for a long time to have a meal, can this be the same?

Xu Yinyin didn't care about my unhappiness, she leaned closer to me and whispered to me: "Also, Tang Xiaofan, where did your father get that "Autumn Moon Eclipse List"? ”

I shrank back, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't do anything, I just want to see it again."

Xu Yinyin's eyes flashed, as if she was expecting something, and I asked her, "Second Aunt Xu, has anyone else seen the ghost you said besides you?" ”

"No, what's wrong?"

I paused and said, "Business is not good, the store has expenses every day, you should be under too much psychological pressure." Coupled with staying up late for a long time, hallucinations were created. So, this ghost is in your heart, Second Aunt Xu, it's just your inner demon. ”

Xu Yinyin didn't quite understand: "I don't understand? ”

"Many times, we are inexplicably afraid, but in fact, ghosts and what we are afraid of are all imagined by us and scared by ourselves."

"Then how do you explain that I smoked a few cigarettes, and the female ghost really didn't come back?"

"This is a kind of psychological suggestion, I just said, the ghost is actually your inner demon, you actually think that smoking can drive away the hanging ghost, so as soon as you smoke, the hanging ghost is really gone, this should be psychotherapy."

"You really don't believe there are ghosts in this world?" She didn't seem to be reconciled.

I nodded: "Of course I don't believe it!" You probably don't know, I've read all the "Autumn Moon Eclipse List", which talks about the way of food and mutual restraint, where is there any way to exorcise ghosts. Besides, you drank so much liquor that night and ran to my attic......"

Speaking of this, I glanced at Second Aunt Xu and found that she looked a little uncomfortable again.

I coughed, "When this person is drunk, his brain is easy to lose his mind." So, you must have been mistaken at the time. ”

"Really?"

I hummed and stopped talking.

Liang Yuan continued to eat a lot, he was really a big stomach, and he didn't stop eating for more than two hours in a row. Eventually, I couldn't help myself and reminded him that the barbecue restaurant was closing, and I was sleepy.

Hearing me say this, Liang Yuan drank the last sip of wine and ate the last bite of meat, and finally stopped.

When I left Xu Ji Barbecue Restaurant, Xu Yinyin stopped me again.

Before I could ask her anything, she stuffed something into my hand: "You said that the hanged female ghost is my hallucination, then look at it, what is this thing?" ”

Looking down, I saw that it was a silver dollar, a heavy "Yuan big head".

Although I haven't used it, I've seen it on TV. The four big characters of "the first year of Hongxian" in the back are upright and square.

Xu Yinyin said: "Tang Xiaofan, what I say can be fake, what I see with my eyes can also be my hallucination. But this thing, it can't come out of thin air, right? ”

This time, it was my turn to be speechless.

Back at the chicken offal noodle shop, it was already late. I said that it was not too early for Liang Yuan to go back, and he squirmed as if he had something to say. I asked him, "We are all neighbors who grew up together, so please tell me if you have any problems." ”

Liang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Tang Xiaofan, since you said so, I won't hide it from you." I used my grandmother's house as a mortgage to open an Internet café, and the Internet café lost money, and the bank took over the house, and my grandmother was so angry that she had a cerebral thrombosis and was admitted to a nursing home. ”、

Speaking of this, Liang Yuan looked dejected.

I understood his intentions: "So you don't have a place to live now?" ”

"Not really." He hurriedly waved his hand: "In the Internet café, I can stay for a few more days, although it has been transferred, but the next family said that I can operate until the end of this month." ”

I exhaled.

I think back then, this kid was in the tube building, and he lived an enviable life like a little emperor. It seems that life in the world, before the day when the coffin is conclusive, is really full of variables.

I asked Liang Yuan, "Then what are your plans next?" ”

"If you have any plans, let's take one step at a time. I, a big man with five big and three rough people, will not starve to death after all. ”

One step at a time, isn't that what I'm like now?

My dad is in the hospital now, and I don't know how long the treatment will take.

The current hospital is really not affordable for ordinary people, and every minute spent in it costs money, just like now, he is in the intensive care unit, and the cost is tens of thousands of yuan a day.

In the past few years, although my dad has earned some money, I have also spent a lot of money on studying. When I first came out of the hospital, I checked the balance in the card, and there were still 300,000 left.

In other words, if my dad never woke up, he could stay in the intensive care unit for a month.

Don't be sick if you have anything, don't be without money if you don't have anything.

I really have a sense of this sentence now. If my dad really can't wake up, the 300,000 yuan will be spent, and his follow-up treatment costs will be gone.

So no matter what, I'm going to have to keep the store running.
