Chapter 20: The Bell of Cause and Effect (I)

My cousin's body recovered day by day, and my mother once asked me privately about what happened that night, and I said that Zheng Sange took action to deal with it, but my mother nodded and didn't ask any further.

The cousin said that he didn't know what he was doing on the day of the wrist cut, and went home after attending Zhang Jian's funeral.

The cousin also said that he had a dream, in the dream he fell in love with a woman wearing a cheongsam, they were very in love, the woman's family was very rich, was in the paper-making business, they lived in a particularly large yard, they had two children, a boy and a girl, and then the cousin became the owner of the paper-binding shop, and suddenly one day the whole world was on fire, and the woman's face was distorted, and then he woke up.

After the cousin finished speaking, he smashed his mouth and said with a lewd face that that woman is really beautiful, if he has such a wife in his life, he will have no regrets in his life.

I didn't tell him about the cheongsam woman, and I don't know what his expression would be if I told him the truth.

My cousin was discharged after half a month in the hospital, everything seems to be calm again, since the cheongsam female ghost incident I often think of the cheongsam female ghost in my spare time, I can never forget the desperate eyes before she hanged herself, I guess she still hoped that the man could take her elope, if I was the man who would take her away desperately, but this is just my imagination, I don't even have a girlfriend now, purebred single dog, In my cousin's words, I'm going to lose the ability to fall in love if I continue like this.

I always feel that this kind of thing can not be forced, but also look at a fateful word, I always stubbornly believe that my other half is also somewhere waiting for me, one day we will meet unexpectedly, and then love at first sight, and finally hold hands to the end, I am very much looking forward to the day that comes.

Next to my shroud shop is a small supermarket, business has been good because of the proximity to the hospital, the owner is a middle-aged couple with children living abroad, we have a good relationship, I go to buy cigarettes and drinks will give me the purchase price.

About a month ago, the male shopkeeper and I smoked outside, saying that their son had bought a house in the United States, and they wanted to pick up their old couple to help watch the children, and they were going to transfer the store, and asked if our family had any intention to take over, to be honest, although the funeral industry was profitable, it belonged to the kind that was not open for three years and opened for three years, and it had nothing to do with the size of the store, mainly depending on the relationship.

I told the male shopkeeper that the current place of our store is enough, and I don't think about it for the time being, and the male shopkeeper didn't say anything and nodded and put out the cigarette back, and the small supermarket closed after a few days, and a few days later, a group of people came to take a look, and then the store was over.

Today when I was smoking at the door, I met the new owner of this store, a fat man surnamed Li in his 40s, with a lot of cultural toys on his arms and neck, the fat man and I chatted a few words, he said that he wants to sell high-quality cultural toys in this store, and let me find him to play after the store opens, and give me the cost price of what I like.

I don't have a good impression of this fat man, my face is full of untruth, I went back to the store after smoking, my mother signed up for a seven-day trip to East China with her friends last Sunday, I was left alone at home, occasionally my cousin came to the store to help, since that incident my cousin has a lot of restraint in his private life, I asked him what happened, he said he was in love with the nurse who took care of him when he was hospitalized.

I've met that nurse a few times, her name is Xiaomei, she is quiet and quiet, and she looks like an honest girl.

My cousin and I once talked to me about his suicide when we visited the store, and he asked me if I believed that there was a ghost possession, and I asked him why he asked that, and he said that he thought he was possessed by a demon on the day he committed suicide.

I didn't answer him this question directly, I told him what Brother Jiu told me back then, whether you believe it or not, just keep a heart of awe, and we have no way to control the rest of the things, just let it be.

Today in the store after selling a set of shrouds received a call from my grandfather's nanny, I was shocked to see the nanny calling, I had a bad premonition, generally there are elderly people in the family are afraid of suddenly receiving this kind of call.

After the phone was connected, I hurriedly asked my grandfather if there was anything wrong, and the nanny said that there was no big thing, but my grandfather missed me and asked her to call me, preferably now.

I was really curious when I heard the nanny say this, and asked him why the old man suddenly missed me, and the nanny said that she didn't know either, and the old man just asked her to call me, but didn't say anything else.

After hanging up the phone, the more I pondered, the more strange it became, why did I suddenly call me over, I wondered if the old man figured out what I had done after I went to him last time, and today I was called to the past and had something to say to me, thinking of this, I hurriedly closed the store and took a taxi to my grandfather's house, and when I passed by the supermarket, I got out of the car and bought him two bottles of wine to bring over, and the old man was happy to say something more to me.

When I arrived at my grandfather's house, the nanny opened the door for me, the nanny didn't expect me to come over so soon, so she was a little caught off guard, asked me what I wanted to eat, she went out to buy, I looked at the time and said not to eat here, chatted with the old man and left, the nanny also said something, took the wine I was carrying and put it aside and went to work by myself.

My grandfather was sitting on the newly bought massage chair listening to the radio, and when he saw me coming, he smiled and called me over to talk to me

"Look, this is the massage chair I bought with you last time, I'm with you, I feel comfortable after using this"

After saying that, I patted the armrest of the massage chair, I smiled and said that it was good to use it, I sat down and lit a cigarette and handed it to my grandfather, my grandfather didn't smoke it after taking it, he asked me

"You've been very close to the three boys of the old Zheng family recently?"

After my grandfather finished speaking, I was a little confused, and after thinking about it, I knew that the third boy of the old Zheng family that the old man said was the third brother Zheng.

I took a puff of cigarette and nodded yes, and I met through a friend, and my grandfather nodded, picked up the cigarette and lit it.

I originally thought that the old man was brewing emotions to tell me something, but I held back for a long time and gave me a sentence to let me learn less from him, I asked him what to learn, and the old man was unhappy and said don't be the same as him, so old and don't have a wife and children.

I was dizzy after listening to it, I didn't know how to answer him, the old man saw that I didn't speak, got up from the massage chair, walked to the table with the cause and effect clock and picked up the cause and effect clock, and then my grandfather called me over, and the old man said to me after I walked over

"I saw that you liked this thing when you came here last time, so I'll give it to you, it's not a valuable thing anyway, and it didn't cost much when I bought it."

I took the cause and effect clock curiously, and the texture in my hand was exactly the same as the feeling I felt in my hand in the cave that time, I shook it in my hand, and said to the old man that Zheng Sange also had an identical one in the car.

The old man said that he could buy Zheng Sange, why can't he buy it, I was speechless again, I guess there must be some significance for the old man to give me the cause and effect clock this time, but no matter how I asked him sideways, he just didn't say, and finally simply didn't ask.

Holding the karma clock and leaving my grandfather's house, the old man sent me to the door, and said to me meaningfully that everything has cause and effect, and everything is too exhausted, and fate is bound to end early.

I asked the old man what he meant, and the old man said that he read the book a few days ago and thought it was very good, so he gave me this sentence.

On the way back, I studied the causal clock in my hand all the way, except that the causal clock was full of age on the surface, I didn't find anything special, and I could only make a faint sound when I shook it in my hand, and there was no sound that hit my mind in my subconscious.

I pondered for a long time what my grandfather said to me when he sent me out, I don't know if I understood it correctly, in my opinion, it literally means that everything is not forced, and I don't know what the old man meant to me after giving me the karma clock.

With my understanding of the old man, he would never say this to me for no reason.

Take a taxi back to the store, at the door of the store, I just saw the fat man next door was dancing with a few decoration workers, saw me come and looked at me and said hello, and then looked at the cause and effect clock in my hand, I can feel that Li Fat Man saw the cause and effect clock in my hand The degree of surprise is no less than the appearance when I saw Bai Qi and Wang Jian when I first walked in the yin, Li Fatty's eyes were round and looked at the cause and effect clock in my hand, I have a hunch that this Li Fat Man is not an ordinary person.

Not long after returning to the store, Li Fatzi walked into the store with a probe in his brain, I asked him what was the matter, Li Fatzi smiled and said that it was okay and just wanted to talk to me.

The fat man sat on the sofa in the store and talked nonsense with me, I loved to ignore him perfunctorily, and chatted for a long time before the fat man talked about the cause and effect clock, Li Fat said that the clock I held in my hand when I entered the door was good, he personally had a certain study of ancient relics, and wanted me to take it out for him to see.

I asked him vigilantly what he was going to do, Li Fat smiled innocently and said just to see, I thought to myself that Li Fat Man was very surprised when he looked at the cause and effect clock just now, and it is very likely to understand some of the situation of the cause and effect clock, I thought about it and took out the cause and effect clock from the counter and put it on the counter.

After watching me take it out, Li Fat Man walked to the counter, carefully picked up the cause and effect clock, looked at it carefully, and looked at it for about a minute, Li Fat Man said to me

"Where did you get this thing from?"

I lit a cigarette and said

"Someone Else Sent Me"

Fat Li nodded, picked up the cause and effect clock again, and observed it carefully, and after a while, Li Fat put down the cause and effect clock, took out two tissues from the counter, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to me with a serious face

"This bell is called the Cause and Effect Bell, it is a Yin vessel, and it is probably not good for the little brother to stay by his side if he is not a cultivator."

After Li Fatzi finished speaking, I looked at him curiously, and Li Fatzi threw the used facial tissue into the waste paper basket and said to me

"The so-called Yin means something in the underworld, and it can also be said that this thing is not a thing in the yang world at all, as for the origin of this thing, there are various theories, which one is true, I don't know, I advise you, who sent this thing to you, you send it back quickly, if it's late, you will definitely suffer."
