Chapter 38: Digging the Grave
"What else can I do, now I can only burn down this house." Miss Zihui said calmly.
"Burned?" Li Fei was taken aback, his face couldn't be believed, and he muttered: "This villa is not to mention the construction, just this land will cost tens of millions, otherwise it will definitely not be able to take it, how much property will be lost if it is burned?" β
Miss Zihui glanced at Li Fei lightly and said, "Then if you have the ability, go and get rid of the monster that possessed Mrs. An, or go back to the house now, and go to the villa to exorcise the soul of the eldest young grandmother, anyway, I can't do it." β
"I can't do it eitherβI came here to ensure the safety of my children, and now that Yoyo has left this villa with the old housekeeper, I have nothing to worry about, whoever wants to stay will stay."
Sister Lan also agreed with Miss Zihui's opinion, and the two of them breathed out from one nostril, and Li Fei suddenly had nothing to say. Naturally, I am not to mention, I am an assistant, and the decision on this matter is not up to me.
So after that, Sister Lan and I, Zihui, and Li Fei left the villa manor directly overnight. Three days later, Sister Lan and I returned to Qingyun Town together, Miss Zihui was originally a temporary rescuer invited by Sister Lan, and the matter was solved and she returned directly to her hometown.
In order to inquire about Yoyo's safety, Sister Lan specially called the old housekeeper to ask about Yoyo, and the housekeeper said that the child was fine, and everything returned to normal after leaving the villa, but Mrs. An disappeared completely after that.
Regarding this matter, Sister Lan did not explain in detail to the old housekeeper, only said that as long as the villa was set on fire, there would be no more troubles, otherwise there might be a follow-up. The old housekeeper said that he would explain it to his master. Three days after that contact, I saw a news item in the corner of the paper news about the burning down of a villa deep in the mountains.
This time this private work was also thrilling, and she almost lost her life several times, thanks to Sister Lan and her friends, otherwise this time it would be really lucky. And I don't think I actually made much contribution in this operation, but Sister Lan still shared half of me directly after receiving the remuneration from the old housekeeper.
Because the house burned down in the end, the honorarium was much less than agreed at the beginning, and Mrs. An, who made the commission, had disappeared, and when Sister Lan distributed the honorarium to me, it changed from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, excluding the intermediary fee belonging to Wang Ermazi's kid, I got about tens of thousands of yuan.
However, this is definitely a lot of money for me, and if it were before, it would definitely make me happy for a few days without sleep. But now that I have this heavy tens of thousands of dollars in my hands, I am not as excited as I imagined.
When I left from Qingyun Town, Sister Lan only left me a phone number, saying that if there was something to do, I could call her. I asked Sister Lan where she was going in the future, and Sister Lan only smiled faintly and said that she was home all over the world and could go wherever she wanted. I think about it, if it weren't so chic, it wouldn't be Sister Lan.
After that, I also lived a few days of peace, and the money was earned, but I didn't need to be pressured because of my marriage anymore.
I'm still a little sorry, if I could have woken up earlier, if Wang Er Mazi had told me earlier, I would have seen this matter earlier, and I would have had two more days of leisure. Not long after, Wang Er Mazi had a new private job, and I took it.
Although I still haven't been able to make up my mind to learn the funeral scriptures, but with the experience of removing demons with Sister Lan, I am inexplicably bolder, and I am also lucky, none of the several private jobs that Wang Er Mazi introduced to me one after another need to risk my life, and there are occasional small dangers, but they all let me survive safely.
One day I was resting at home, and Wang Er Mazi came to contact me again, saying that this time there was a big bargain to pick up, and I didn't want to take it. During this time, I continued to take private work here in Wang Er Mazi, and I already had more than 300,000 cash in my hand, and I deposited it in the bank.
Now that the matter between me and Xiaoxiao has come to an end, Xiaoxiao has been contacting me for a while, but I insisted on not replying, so she gradually stopped contacting me. It's not a state of special need for money now, on the contrary, the more than 300,000 cash in the bank, I am very down-to-earth.
But Wang Ermazi's kid persuaded me to do this again - according to him, this kind of low-difficulty private work is almost a pie in the sky, and there will be no such shop in this village after that. What he said was out of the blue, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved when I heard it. After all, money is too much for a fool.
I asked him what kind of private work could make him almost boast to the sky, and Wang Er Mazi told me that this private work was very simple, there was no danger, and it was enough to go to the cemetery for a night.
This kid came knocking on my door early in the morning, and at first he was angry, but when he said that he was going to work in the cemetery, his eyes that were staring at me were a little evasive.
I slapped this kid directly on the head, making him laugh angrily, and said, "Your kid is lacking in virtue and missing home, right?" Let me go to the cemetery to work, this is a shitty beauty - this is the most evil family in the cemetery! β
Wang Er Mazi sat down beside me and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't brother, Brother Jun, there is really nothing to be afraid of this time, you said that you are all people who have seen big scenes, what is the cemetery to you?" Besides, I really don't want to do anything else this time, just get one thing back! β
I was stunned, but now I finally understood the meaning of Wang Er Mazi's kid, slapped his brain hard, and shouted: "Your mother, your kid means to let me dig other people's graves at the grave?" Lao Tzu didn't go, this is going to damage Yin Virtue! β
Wang Er Mazi didn't give up, "Brother Jun, what age is this, you still care about these things, let me tell you, as long as you go to that coffin and give someone a token back, then the other gold and silver treasures in the coffin will all belong to you!" I'm only going to take a profit in it! β
"I can't do this if you just don't take profits!"
Picking up private work is taking over private work, but I still have clear principles in my heart about what can be done and what can't be done. There can't be only one good word in the eyes of a person.
Wang Ermazi didn't speak, but stretched out a palm to me, and the five stubby carrot-like fingers were all straightened.
"What's the matter, don't you?" I sneered, looked at Wang Er Mazi and said.
"Five hundred thousand." Wang Er Mazi raised his head proudly, shook his palm, and said: "The gold and silver treasures contained in the coffin are estimated to be worth 500,000 cash at the lowest - the client said that the extra 500,000 is all our own, less than 500,000, and they will directly make up the difference!" β
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who sees money?"
- Although I really want to shout out to Wang Er Mazi with such an imposing voice, but the amount of money is too much, and I can't open my mouth to refuse him in front of 500,000 no matter what, so I agreed to Wang Er Mazi to take over this private job.
The client asked to get the token back as soon as possible, so I prepared to leave the next night. Before leaving, I took some charms to ward off evil spirits, and the medicinal powder made from the hooves of the black donkey was also put in a bottle and put on it - this thing was given to me by Sister Lan before leaving, saying that when I encountered ordinary ghosts, sprinkling this medicinal powder can basically have the effect of expelling them.
There were also ink fountains and ink lines, mahogany cones, and so on, which I also packed into my own package. I don't know how useful it will be, but if you don't bring it white, you don't have it, and you can feel at ease even if you don't use it.
The thing that the client asked me to get back was a piece of jade jade pendant that only half was left, this thing seemed to be their family heirloom, and I don't know what was going on, only to find out that half of it was buried in the coffin after more than ten years. Lying in this coffin is the client's great-grandfather.
I didn't expect that one day I would really go to dig someone's ancestral grave, and my mood was actually quite complicated, but since I had promised to do it, and I originally wanted to go during the day, but the client said that it must not be done, and Mr. Feng Shui said that if the grave was dug during the day, the next three generations of their family would be cursed.
However, I quickly accepted this, and in fact, I also understood that digging graves during the day was no less bad than digging people's ancestral graves itself. Whether it's burying people or digging people, this is actually particular, but in this era, there are fewer and fewer people who pay attention to these.
However, there are still many things in this world that cannot be explained clearly by two words, and the value of Feng Shui still exists. I set out when it was getting dark, and by the time I got to the grave, it was already completely dark. Looking at the cemetery during the day and the cemetery at night are almost two worlds.
When I came to this place full of dead people at night, I had mixed feelings, and occasionally I was scared when a gust of wind blew. But you can't just go back after you've come, right? Besides, my luck during this time is really good, compared with the private work I took some time ago, this time the work is at most a little lacking in morality, and the difficulty is still very low.
Seeing that the moon in the sky began to blur and the churning dark clouds gradually enveloped the moonlight, I knew that the time was almost over, and after searching the grave for a while, I found the grave of my client, Grandpa Gao. However, when I walked over, I noticed that the tomb seemed to be a little strange, and the soil on it was a little loose.
ββ¦β¦ Damn, old man, you won't be going out at night, will you? "I was furious, but I took out the shovel and started digging it. In the era when the old people buried in the soil lived, burials were basically popular, and cremation belonged to a minority.
Some time ago, I saw ghosts and demons, and now I have lived for twenty-one years, and I am still digging a grave for the first time, for fear that if I dig out the coffin and open it in a while, a zombie will pop out alive, and then everything will be over. Zombies belong to the category of monsters that are not accepted by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, and even belong to high-level monsters in them.
The client said that the coffin was buried decades ago, so I thought it would take a long time to dig it, but I shoveled a few shovels down, and the shovel clicked like it hit a hard object. There is a coffin buried in this cemetery, and there can't be anything else, so I panicked even more, this old man can't really be a zombie, right?
