Chapter 34: Help
Of course, there is a reason for the water pipe to burst, when the uncle went downstairs to pick me up, the third aunt ran into the kitchen with a knife and cut the water pipe, but we came back in time, she did not directly cut and burst the water pipe, but the knife marks on it could not withstand the water pressure, and it burst after a while.
The kitchen was flooded with water, and the drain couldn't run out at all, and the rest of the water spread along the floor to the living room, making the already dirty living room even more embarrassing.
The uncle hurriedly ran to the corridor to turn off the water valve, and came back to look at the embarrassed living room, not even a clean foot, stunned at the door for a while.
Just now we were fighting with the third aunt at home, and there was a lot of movement, this is a house divided by units, several of my uncle's colleagues were woken up, footsteps came from time to time in the corridor, colleagues crowded at the door to watch, and someone poked out his head Uncle Quan, "Old Ye, what's wrong with here at home, why is it back to everyone in the middle of the night?" ”
The uncle was very tired, so he sent these enthusiastic spectators home to sleep, and kept bowing and saying sorry, to ensure that there would be no more noise in the house.
When the uncle sent away the neighbors, the two of us lifted the third aunt up and threw it into the bedroom, closed the door, the uncle's face was so gloomy that it was almost raining, and he sat on the ground regardless of the dirty water stains on the ground, and after smoking a few puffs of stuffy cigarettes, he said with red eyes, "What kind of bad luck did I have, why did your third aunt do this?" ”
I don't know how to explain it, but just as I was about to speak, I threw away my cigarette butt viciously and stood up, striding out the door, I was busy saying Uncle, why are you going?
The uncle's voice was a little hoarse, and he turned around and said angrily, "Do you still need to ask, it must be because your third aunt made trouble in the mourning hall and made the old man unhappy before she came back to pester her, I said at that time that I wanted to find a gentleman to see, your second uncle refused to live or die, now it's okay?" Mahler, I'll go and see your grandfather's grave and let him come at me!" ”
Uncle is such an honest and responsible person who is forced to burst into foul language, and you can imagine the anger that has accumulated in his heart at this time.
I told my uncle, don't worry, it's definitely not my grandfather who is making trouble. The uncle was stunned and asked rhetorically, "Is it not your grandfather or who is it?"
I analyzed, "You also saw it just now, the thing in the third aunt's body was going to drag me to jump off the building just now, if it was my grandfather, would he do this?" ”
Uncle felt that my analysis was reasonable, so he was stunned, and walked over and asked, "Who is it if it's not your grandfather, has your third aunt offended others?" ”
I smiled bitterly, just the third aunt's big mouth, all day long with the neighbors and parents, and a drum temper, as soon as she sees the stars, she will be angry, I have seen many times she rolled up her sleeves and quarreled with people because of a little hour, and the heart said that the third aunt offended the sea of people, what kind of temper does your daughter-in-law have, can you not know?
Of course, I didn't say this in my heart, let the uncle recall it well, has the third aunt had any conflicts with others in the recent period, and has anyone died in this building in your house recently?
Ghosts never look for people who have nothing to do, since I came into contact with this line of work, I have come to understand, in fact, most ghosts are not as terrible as people think, although some ghosts do want to harm people for no reason, but more yin spirits are not interesting, if it is not for the third aunt to inadvertently bump into something, it should not be in trouble.
The uncle held his head and thought for a long time, and said with a bitter face, "I don't know, you also know that I usually work in the unit, and I only go home at night, I don't know who your third aunt has come into contact with during the day and what she has done." "I said so, don't worry, I can find someone to come and have a look.
Uncle let go of his hand and asked me, "Who are you looking for?" Who can watch it? ”
I sighed and said, "Of course, the third aunt can only find a mage in this case, and I happen to know a few, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I promise that it will be done properly." I patted my chest and assured my uncle.
Naturally, my uncle believed me, but he was surprised and asked me when I had known him, and said, "Haven't you been selling fish?" ”
I don't know what to say, so I avoided the uncle's gaze and said, "I know a friend in business, and I know that he is doing the middleman business after contact, and you also know that the ornamental fish industry has risen in recent years, and there is a saying that fish farming improves feng shui, so it is inevitable that I will contact a few people who are particular about it." ”
Uncle said "oh" and said, "But...... Hiring a mage should be expensive, right? ”
His family's economic conditions are not rich, and my cousin is about to go to college, and the college tuition fee alone is also a large expense.
But we are a family, I can't ignore it, so I said to my uncle, "Don't worry about this, the money matter will be talked about when the time comes, the third aunt can't delay this situation at all, you also saw it just now." Uncle agreed, nodded and sighed, "It's hard for you Xiao Ye, Uncle is useless, I still have your help with this." ”
I patted my uncle's hand and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about, everyone has their own fortune, the second uncle is a good mix, not big or small, he is a leader, but you see that he is cautious all day long, and there are still difficulties, don't say it, I'll help you find a mage, the third aunt is here you take care of her, don't let her run out." ”
I couldn't wait to stop a taxi downstairs and rush to Zhang Mazi's house.
This time I didn't look for Zhang Qiang, this grandson is a ruthless master who can scrape oil on the bones of a dead man, every time the asking price is so expensive, I have no money on my bank card, I really can't stand his toss, and because of Uncle Liu's matter, I took him to run before and after, digging corpses and digging pits, and his feet are not good, so he may not be willing to promise me to run again.
On the contrary, I have been studying with Zhang Mazi for so long, and I haven't seen him make a move, this time I asked him for help, I don't know if he will agree.
Half an hour later, I came to Zhang Mazi's house, knocked on the door, and it took him a long time to help me open the door with his clothes, and when he saw my anxious look, Zhang Mazi frowned and said, "What are you knocking on in the middle of the night, what the hell is at home?" ”
I said you're really godly, but it's not my family, it's my uncle, and his family is in some trouble.
After listening to the whole story, Zhang Mazi nodded in a deep voice, and said Since it is the daughter-in-law of the old Ye family, I can't ignore it, okay, I'll accompany you on a trip this time, but I can't do it in vain.
When it comes to money, he is not affectionate, and I ask him with a bitter face how much he wants? Zhang Mazi glared at me with a cold face, "Three thousand!" ”
The price is quite real, not only can I ask him to help, but I can also learn a lot of things along with it, killing two birds with one stone, I am too busy to agree. At the same time, I thought of the black price that Zhang Qiang quoted to me every time, and I couldn't help but want to greet his old mother for her health.
Went into the house with Zhang Mazi to prepare materials, there was actually a magic altar in the hall, and there was a shrine in the middle, and the shrine was covered with black threads, these were the warp threads used by Li Wu to cast spells, as if they were used to bind ghosts, and the other end of the warp was connected to many yin objects, and the wall also hung the portrait of the great god Li Wu, full of bloody cattle and sheep offal.
The house was full of smoke and miasma, and there was still talisman ash floating in the house. I was curious, "Uncle Mazi, what are you doing here?" Practicing witchcraft at home? ”
