【024】The soul is gone
Wu Laohan has always been in a state of chaos and unconsciousness, sometimes with nightmares, sometimes awake. When I was in a dream, I felt like my soul had left my body, swaying and not knowing what to do. When I woke up, I was confused and couldn't recognize the person in front of me.
Someone sighed, saying that it would be nice if Hu Xianpo was here.
My wife couldn't, so I went around asking for medical advice, and after taking several patches of medicine, it didn't work. It was also suggested that he be taken to the hospital, but it would cost a lot of money to go to the hospital. Some of the compensation for the ship accident has not been cashed before, and where do you go to pool money to take him to the hospital?
On this day, Wu Laohan felt in a trance that his home was so quiet, so quiet that he was left alone at home. At this moment, the door opened automatically, and a man dressed in black came in from outside the door.
The man came in and said to him, "Get up quickly and let me go, for you will be left alone." ”
Wu Laohan said, "Go there? ”
"Go pay off your debts." The man in black said expressionlessly.
"Oh." Wu Laohan got up slowly, put on his clothes and left the room behind the man in black.
He walked into the yard and saw his wife wiping his grandson's buttocks. casually said to his wife: "I'll pay off the debt, you guys will live well." ”
His wife seemed to react to his words, staring at the place where he was standing in a daze.
Wu Laohan was depressed and wanted to say a few more words to his wife. But the man in black kept urging, saying hurry up, the hour was coming.
The man in black walked in front, and Wu Laohan followed behind. He looked at the home far away behind him, and there was an inexplicable sense of desolation in his heart.
The man in black took Wu Laohan to the river, grabbed his hand, and waded towards the river - Wu Laohan subconsciously fell his ass back, he had suffered a loss, and he was afraid of water!
But the black-clothed man's hand was like an iron pincer, and he didn't let go. Strange to say, when the two of them waded into the water, they felt no pressure in their lungs. And after sinking, the bottom of the river seems to be on the ground. What is on the ground, there is also something at the bottom of the river. Grass, trees, houses, everything.
There is a string of people playing a game of spinning in circles, each with their heads bowed and putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them. The man in black disappeared suddenly, leaving Wu Laohan alone and watching the circle of people spin in front of him-
Suddenly, he saw a very familiar person, this person was like-
Siesta! Wu Laohan's wife had a dream in which the old man suddenly told him that he was going to pay off his debts, and shouted that she was going to live well. In a hurry, he suddenly woke up from the dream, and ran to see the old man in a hurry.
The old man had also just woken up from a nightmare, and he gasped and shouted at Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui is not here, it is his wife who runs in and comes in.
Wu Laohan's face was like ashes, and he said to his wife anxiously: "You go to find Zhong Kui, only he can save me." ”
"Master Zhong has gone to the county seat, how can I find it?" The wife said disapprovingly. She took out a wet towel to wipe the cold sweat off the old man's forehead, and comforted: "Isn't it just a nightmare?" You see you're sweating, and tomorrow should be fine. ”
"Tomorrow—all right?" Wu Laohan looked at his wife in despair, and cloudy tears swirled in his eyes: "Alas! For a lifetime, it is better to be content and happy. If you live an ordinary life, you don't owe anyone, and you don't have to pay off your debts. ”
"You are old and confused, we haven't done anything wrong, you can recuperate with peace of mind. Just wait for your son to come back, and see that the cub (grandson) is so old, and you have to send him to school next year? As she spoke, she brought her wife a glass of water, "Come, drink saliva first." ”
Wu Laohan sighed and said, "You go and buy me popsicles, I want to eat popsicles." ”
Wu Laohan came and went, and he didn't eat for several meals, so he wanted to eat popsicles when he opened his mouth. It's weird, but my wife is also virtuous, and she will do whatever the old man needs.
As she spoke, she grabbed the cub and ran to the sister shop on the other side of the ditch, only the sister shop had popsicles. At that time, it was a little past noon, that is, 12 o'clock - 1 o'clock. The sun was scorching on the ground, and because it was so hot, there were basically no pedestrians on the road.
Mrs. Wu hugged her again, and finally took her grandson to her sister's shop, and handed the other party a dollar to buy three popsicles. Saying; It's a hot time, and the popsicle melts quickly in your hand.
The old woman had no choice, so she had to have one and one grandson. The grandfather and grandson sucked on the popsicle and rushed home—
The poisonous sun is baking so much that smoke rises above the head. The popsicle for Wu Laohan was melting, and the melted popsicle foam was ticking along the way. Seeing that the old lady was distressed, she couldn't help but take a sip of herself, and hurriedly grabbed her grandson and walked slowly.
When I got home, the popsicle given to Mr. Wu had melted to the point that half of it was left.
"Look, old man—" She entered the room with a grin, and was momentarily stunned. There was no one in the bed, and the old man was gone.
Zhong Kui came out of prison, he didn't have the leisure to escape the scorching heat, he had to meet the criminal police captain of the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible.
As soon as I walked into the carport, I didn't have time to push the bike up, and a lump of white guano fell on my left shoulder. Looking at the disgusting bird droppings, his heart chuckled, his thick eyebrows twisted, and he secretly exclaimed: It's not good, something has to happen.
The county seat didn't go either, so he turned back and rushed back to the direction of the Wu family's compound.
Wu Laohan died, hanging from a tree with a crooked neck. In his pocket, a letter was placed, which he wrote down word by word.
Wu'er; Dad is sorry for you, and he has been trying to get rich all his life. All kinds of calculations, I will not let go of any opportunity, even if I exchange your happiness for me.
Riverplate is a mess of me in collusion with outsiders. Later, the drowned people were all caused by my mistakes, and the two-story building was built with the money given by the owner of the sand mining boat, and the road was also built by the owner of the sand mining boat.
When you got married, we didn't spend any money, it was all taken over by your father-in-law. Although the daughter-in-law has a bad temper, she earns a valuable dowry for the family.
Now the daughter-in-law is gone, and the cubs are left pitiful. If you sell the two-story building, we can't afford to live in it. Our life is a cheap life, and what is not suitable for enjoyment cannot be enjoyed.
I'm sorry for the children who drowned in the river, but at noon I had a nightmare in which I saw myself and the ghosts going round and round. I was scared, so I wanted to ask you Uncle Zhong Kui for help, but unfortunately he went to find you, this is fate, my numerology lacks a savior. Alas! Anyway, I'm the one who went on a trip with the ghost who hooked the soul, and I know that if I can't survive, it's better to end it myself.
XXXXXXXXXX
Father's pen
Zhong Kui looked at the suicide note, as if he saw Wu Laohan kneeling on the edge of the river, shouting into the river: "Please, let my family go, take me away!" ”
The Wu family changed from a solid household to a broken household, and the two-story building was sold to pay off the life debt. The boss of the Wu family boat returned, and he hugged his son and mother and lived in a low thatched house.
There is a person standing in front of Wu Laohan's tomb, and he is Zhong Kui. On the other side, there are two tombs, one is Xiao Xu's, and the other is the wife of the boss of the Wu family.
He hoped that Xiao Xu and the wife of the boat boss could get along in harmony in that place. Stop making noise—
The wharf of the river was removed shortly after, and it is said that a bridge will be built here in the future. Local grassroots cadres have erected a warning sign on the riverside, saying that it is strictly forbidden to play in the water here.
On the way home, Zhong Kui sneezed several times in succession. couldn't help but laugh to himself, guessing who was scolding him behind his back. It shouldn't be the captain of the criminal police, because he explained the things before and after to him one by one, although the other party looked incredulous, but he gave the other party that calm and super confident demeanor, which had to be convincing.
It shouldn't be Ran Qin's mother and daughter, they are all his closest relatives.
But there was another thing he overlooked, and that was that there was already an uninvited guest waiting for him at home. And what kind of bad luck will this uninvited guest bring him? I don't know, I'll talk about it later!
