32. The haunting old lady (1)
Qi Tianyang knocked on the iron door several times, but there was no response inside.
"Where's Lao Xu?" I asked.
Qi Tianyang shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be inside, it seems that you are really going to find that staff member." ”
I nodded, and had to walk up again with him, and he found a shady place to wait for me with his umbrella.
When I found the staff member and asked him to take away the corpses of Qi Tianyang's family, he patted his head, "Wasn't you the person who came to take away the corpse a few days ago?" ”
My heart suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured on it, "They were taken away!?" ”
"Yes! It is also said that it is a distant relative of their family, who paid the parking fee for so many days at once, and pulled away in a car. I always thought it was you. The staff member said, "You are all relatives, you should know each other, why don't you ask?" ”
"What about that old Xu in the morgue? Why is he gone? I asked reluctantly.
"He, he resigned a few days ago, saying that he wanted to go back to his hometown."
I walked out in a lost way, and when I found Qi Tianyang, he looked at my expression and said, "Don't be sad, I know that they have been taken away." I was negligent in this matter. ”
I said with some self-reproach, "This matter is inseparable from Lao Xu, you know, he has resigned for several days." ”
"Expected."
I didn't expect Qi Tianyang to say this, I said anxiously, "Then you mean, you already knew that someone was going to take them back...... Corpse? ”
Qi Tianyang nodded, and shook his head again, "It's not a long time ago, if I had known it a long time ago, I wouldn't have let this kind of thing happen, when I saw Xiao Xuan yesterday, I guessed." Today I'm here to ...... Just trying my luck. ”
Obviously, Qi Tianyang's luck is not good, but I don't dare to say it.
When I walked out of the funeral home, I tried to find disappointment and frustration on his face, but I didn't find it, I didn't expect Qi Tianyang to be so good at hiding his emotions.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang, Qi Tianyang looked at it, and raised the mobile phone screen in front of me.
"Barefoot old man?" I can't believe it.
The corners of Qi Tianyang's mouth crooked a sneer, "I said, I can't ask anything from him." Moreover, it is very likely that he will be misled. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the phone, as if neither Ah Fu's death nor Xiao Xuan's corpse had ever happened. "Uncle? …… Good...... Good...... Just send me the address......"
Qi Tianyang hung up the phone, and I couldn't help asking, "What is he looking for you for?" ”
"Say there's something for me to help with."
"Are you going to say yes? He didn't mention Ah Fu at all? ”
Qi Tianyang snorted coldly, "If he mentions it, he will be a fool." Are you stupid, are you as stupid as everyone else? Don't be stupid, let's go. If it's a fox, it will have a tail, and even if it's well hidden, sooner or later it will be revealed. ”
We rushed to an apartment building with the address sent by the barefoot old man, only to find that the corridor was full of wreaths, and several young people were crying there.
Qi Tianyang and I walked in, and as soon as Qi Tianyang put away the black umbrella, we found that Ah Nian was standing on the stairs at some point, looking at us condescendingly.
With the fact that she was slapped by Qi Tianyang on the ridge yesterday, she now sees Qi Tianyang, and her face is also black, as if she owes her money.
Qi Tianyang put on an ordinary look, "You're all here, your father still called me here, it seems that there are things you can't handle here." ”
Ah Nian opened his mouth slightly, wanted to say something, but held back, "hummed" from his throat, and turned around and walked up.
Qi Tianyang turned his head and grimaced at me, and then pulled me upstairs with her.
When we got upstairs, we found that the barefoot old man asked us to go was the one downstairs who did the funeral.
It was a small two-bedroom apartment, crowded with a roomful of people, and the cramped living room was arranged as a mourning hall, and judging from the portrait on the table, the deceased was an old woman.
There were several women kneeling on the ground in mourning, typical of small family funerals.
Qi Tianyang frowned, and had no choice but to ask Ah Nian, "Is this ...... Why do you call me for a funeral? Buried in a point, can't you make it? ”
Ah Nian glanced at him, "As long as you can, I can't even look at the Fengdian acupoint?" ”
Qi Tianyang said with a hippie smile, "I just know that you can do it, so I don't know why your father called me here." ”
Ah Nian's face was only slightly better, and just as she was about to speak, a scream of "ah" suddenly came from a room, and then a woman with a cloak rushed out of it.
I saw that she was about thirty or forty years old, her face was pale, her face was bloodless, and she looked like she had not rested well for a long time, and she looked as if she was greatly frightened, and she knelt down in front of Ah Nian.
"Girl, you save me, you save me! The old stuff is here again! Not again! ”
The woman grabbed Ah Nian's kick, desperately unwilling to let go, Ah Nian looked disgusted, and broke free several times before he got rid of the woman, "I can't help you, you have to kneel and go there." ”
As he spoke, Ah Nian pointed at Qi Tianyang.
The woman was stunned, and when she saw Qi Tianyang, she looked like a terminally ill patient who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, so she turned her head and kowtowed to Qi Tianyang again, "Young man, you save me, save me." ”
Qi Tianyang said a little impatiently, "You can tell me what's going on, what's the use of just kowtowing to me?" ”
It turned out that the old lady who died was her mother-in-law, who had intestinal cancer a year ago, and had been lying down for a year, and died a few days ago, and the family was busy with funerals, and it was said that the old lady was eighty years old, and it was a white event, so the family was not particularly sad, and they all came together.
But the day after the old lady died, the daughter-in-law began to have nightmares, and every day she dreamed that the old lady came to ask for her life.
Now this woman is too frightened to close her eyes, but how can a big living person not sleep, she has not closed her eyes for two days and two nights, just now, sitting on the edge of the bed in the middle of the room, one accidentally took a nap, and then dreamed that the old lady came to ask for her life.
Qi Tianyang heard this and frowned, "This is unreasonable, you are her daughter-in-law, you are a family, why does she always pester you?" ”
The woman dodged, as if she was hiding something and did not dare to say anything, but kept her head down.
Qi Tianyang saw that something was wrong, so he simply picked up the black umbrella and turned out, "There is a debtor and a debtor, and the dead ghost will not hold on to a person for no reason, if you don't tell the reason, no one will help you." ”
The woman finally let out a cry, repeated her tricks, and grabbed Qi Tianyang's arm, "I said, I said, I said you save me, woo~~~"
Qi Tianyang sat on a chair, folded his arms, and looked attentive.
It turned out that the old lady had a total of three sons, all of whom were not very wealthy, this woman was her little daughter-in-law, and the youngest son was the most idle of the sons, and the family was poor.
As a result, after the two got married, the old lady had no place to live, and the other two daughters-in-law said that the house was given to the third brother, so let the third brother's family support the elderly, and they all left it alone.
"I've been raising her for almost ten years! How could she be so unconscionable? Speaking of this, the woman covered her face again and cried, "Cancer can't be cured, let me buy a house for her to see a doctor, and let her live a few more days, and we will all die?!" ”
Qi Tianyang and I glanced at each other, and almost understood why the old lady was still ghostly.
It must have been this little daughter-in-law who gave up the treatment of the old lady when she was seriously ill, so the old lady was resentful and always wanted to take revenge on her.
"Woo woo~~~ We still have children, for her old life, don't children care? Woo~~~" The woman was still crying.
Ah Nian slapped the table impatiently, "What are you crying about, why didn't you tell her this reason when people were alive?" Now that people are dead and have become ghosts, she can't understand what you say, what's the use of crying with us? With that, she turned to Qi Tianyang and said with a disgusted face, "My dad is really, this kind of work is done, and I can't exorcise ghosts." ”
Qi Tianyang grinned, "Isn't my brother here to help you?" ”
Ah Nian glared at Qi Tianyang with disgust and stopped talking.
Qi Tianyang pulled the woman up, "Eldest sister, it's useless for you to kneel to me, if you want your mother-in-law to stop pestering you, you can go to her spirit and kneel for three days and three nights, maybe she will be angry and stop pestering you." ”
"Really, really?" The women were in disbelief.
