After eating at home, I took a taxi and went straight to the crematorium.

In my mother's opinion, my father's disappearance is inseparable from Zheng Sange, my mother didn't know that Zheng Sange was a master, and in my mother's impression, Zheng Sange was a charlatan who ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and smoked all kinds of drugs.

At breakfast, I told my mother that Third Brother Zheng had overlived the old lady's soul a few days ago, and my mother was dumbfounded, and finally acquiesced to my relationship with Third Brother Zheng, and repeatedly told me to pay attention to the proportions of my interactions and never get too close to him.

I took a taxi to the crematorium, and when I paid the fare, I still paid the driver an extra dollar, and after paying, I walked into the crematorium gate and went straight to the small bungalow where the corpse collection team was.

Zheng Sange was the only one in the corpse collection team today, seeing that after I pushed the door in, Zheng Sange threw me a cigarette and asked me with a hippie smile how I rested last night, I took the cigarette and said with a wry smile that the rest was very good, I didn't even have a dream, and I felt no energy at all after getting up this morning.

Zheng Sange smoked a cigarette and said That's right, fortunately, I am young and in good health, if someone of his age was tossed so much last night, it would not be as simple as feeling tired.

After Zheng Sange finished speaking, I asked him curiously what happened last night, and Zheng Sange said that what I experienced last night is called taking away the yin, to put it bluntly, it is to use spells to make my soul go out of the body to go to the underworld to do things.

After the soul of a person is out of the body, he returns to the body according to the different physical qualities of each person, and the sequelae are not the same, the light tired ones can't get out of bed, and the serious ones will even get seriously ill, just like the third brother Zheng dealt with the old lady a few days ago, so that the old lady's eldest daughter has a reason, but the old lady's daughter is not as good as me, and after that incident, she became seriously ill.

I smoked a cigarette and asked him what kind of person Cui Xiaobai was, Zheng Sange smiled and told me not to ask so much, I knew that it was useless, just treat him as a person with high spells.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Sange said to me again, Weiwei's matter has come to an end, and the rest of the things are beyond the scope of our jurisdiction, and the main reason for calling me today is to tell me about my father, first, to fulfill the promise he made to me yesterday, and secondly, he feels that I have the right to know some things about my father and our family.

Brother Zheng asked me how much I knew about my family, and I thought about it carefully, in fact, I didn't know much about my family, but I knew that my ancestors opened coffins, and in my father's generation, because cremation was abolished, he changed his career to the shroud business.

My grandmother passed away when I was not born, my grandfather is 97 years old this year, and he is still alive, except for some inconvenient legs and feet, plus some deafness, there is no major problem with the body, and now I can drink three taels of wine and smoke a box of cigarettes every day, and I don't know much about my grandfather's brother's family, almost nothing to move, only know that they are also engaged in the funeral industry, I said that I don't know too much, mainly no one has told me about the family.

Third Brother Zheng nodded, saying that he had some relationship with our family, and he would definitely know more than me, and he happened to have time to tell me about it today.

When dealing with the old lady's return to the soul, that is, when he first met Zheng Sange, he mentioned it to me, saying that he had some connections with my family, and that his family had a female dependent who married into our family during the Republic of China, and I didn't talk to him much in that environment at that time.

Zheng Sange's family is a feng shui family, and his ancestors have had a great opportunity to be passed on by masters in feng shui.

According to Zheng Sange's own words, when the family was at its most prosperous, even the royal relatives at that time looked for their family to see the Yang Mansion, and when they arrived in the Republic of China, due to war and other reasons, only the secret art of the Yin Mansion was handed down.

Speaking of this, Zheng Sange lit a cigarette and asked me if I knew what was going on in the Yin House, I nodded and said I know, Zheng Sange nodded and continued, he said that there was a disaster in the family during the Republic of China and almost wiped out the whole family, and finally one of his aunts and grandmothers married into my family, and my family took action to solve this matter, but their family was hit hard after that incident, and since then it has been in a slump.

It seems that his family has been cursed after that incident, and only one boy can survive in each generation, and Zheng Sange said that he had two older brothers before him, both of whom died when they were minors.

I was fascinated by it, and asked him what happened back then, Zheng Sange didn't know too much about the specifics, in short, my ancestors saved his family in the most danger in his family, which also made Zheng Sange understand my family, in Zheng Sange's words, my family's affairs are very weird, he also knows a little bit about the skin, let me ask my grandfather, or wait for my dad to come back and ask me.

Hearing what he was saying, I hurriedly asked him where my dad came back from, if he knew something, Zheng Sange waved his hand at me and told me not to worry, I would naturally get the answer after listening to him tell the story.

I listened patiently, it is not an exaggeration for Zheng Sange to say that my family's affairs are weird, my family is the aboriginal of our city, and he can't say how far it can be traced, my family will live a long life regardless of whether it is direct or collateral, which has something to do with my family being a coffin maker for generations.

I don't know in what dynasty my ancestors had the same great opportunity as his ancestors, and my ancestors got a book.

Speaking of this, Zheng Sange took a puff of cigarette and asked me if I knew what a text is, I shook my head in a daze and said I don't know, Brother Zheng looked proud and said I don't know, a text is written to the deceased, and it was written with this text when my family got this book.

Zheng Sange paused and said that this book is not the point, the point is that since then, the head of my family's direct family will always disappear inexplicably for a few years to more than ten years.

Back then, my grandfather also disappeared for seven or eight years, after listening to it, I looked at Zheng Sange incredulously and asked him where he disappeared, Zheng Sange smoked a cigarette and shook his head and said that he didn't know, my father had asked him several times before he disappeared to inquire about the underworld and the netherworld, but he didn't help much, so he asked him to find Cui Xiaobai.

Speaking of which, Zheng Sange said that it was because of this that my mother always thought that my father was bewitched by him to disappear.

I asked Zheng Sange what was going on in the underworld and the middle netherworld, and Zheng Sange waved his hand at me and told me not to ask, these things are not yet the time for me to know.

I asked Zheng Sange if this story was finished, and Zheng Sange said that it was almost, he had also calculated my father's business before, and the result was a little strange, this hexagram is very strange, and the hexagram shows that there is no solution.

Zheng Sange comforted me and said that my father must have nothing to do with it, and my grandfather was like this back then, and he came back in a few years.

I nodded and thanked Brother Zheng, although I didn't get any exact news from my dad this time, but it was a gain to be able to confirm that my dad would not be in any danger.

I asked Zheng Sange if he knew what my father and Cui Xiaobai had talked about and what they had done, and Zheng Sange said that he didn't know, but he only knew that Cui Xiaobai and my family also had some origins.

After chatting with Zheng Sange for a while, I got up and said goodbye, Zheng Sange sent me out of the crematorium, saying that this place is not good for taxis, and I have to walk about two kilometers to take a taxi, I said that I happened to be walking around, Zheng Sange patted me on the shoulder and asked me to call him if I had something, I nodded and waved goodbye to Zheng Sange.

Because of yesterday's yin, I was tired all day today, from the crematorium to the highway is already full of sweat, and even see things are a little ghosted, but it's not bad just walked to the side of the road and got a taxi, I told the driver the address of the shroud shop and fell asleep groggily.

I had an inexplicable dream all the way, to the shroud shop driver woke me up, I was soaked with sweat, paid the fare and got out of the car to see the fool sitting at the door of my shroud shop, saw me laughing at me and beckoned, I groggy walked over and threw most of the half of the box of pipes in my pocket to him, the fool put away the cigarette like a treasure, stretched out his thumb to me for a long time and then ran away.

This fool is in his 30s, and no one knows where he came from, so he appeared at the door of the shroud shop every once in a while.

My mother is kind-hearted, sometimes she will throw ten or eight dollars to the fool, once I smoked with my cousin at the door of the shroud shop, the fool happened to sit at the door of the shroud shop that day, saw me and my cousin smoking and immediately became excited, and danced at the two of us and gestured something, I didn't understand it for a long time, my cousin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and asked him if he wanted this, the fool nodded his head particularly hard, the cousin threw the cigarette to him, the fool took it and didn't know where to turn out a lighter, lit the cigarette and smoked a few big puffs, My cousin and I thought it was very interesting, and my cousin looked at the cigarette box, and there were not too many cigarettes left, so he threw a box of cigarettes to the fool, and the fool stretched out his thumb and gestured to us for a long time as today.

My mom was alone in the shroud shop today, my mom was wearing glasses to watch the story, and when she saw me coming, she took off her glasses and asked me if I had eaten, I shook my head and ate breakfast too late, and I was not hungry yet.

My mom ignored me, put on my glasses and continued to read the story.

I walked to the back room of the shroud shop and lay on the bed and recalled the story that Zheng Sange told me today, this story does sound a little weird, if Zheng Sange told me a few days ago, I would definitely not believe it, and I will think that Zheng Sange is a psychopath, but after experiencing these recent events, I think the credibility of this story is extremely high.

If this incident is true, according to Zheng Sange, my ancestors have a tradition of disappearing from time to time after getting a book about the inscription, and if it is speculated that the root of everything should be that book.

I thought about it several times, but I never heard anyone mention the opportunity of the ancestor and the book of death since I was a child.

I didn't say much to my mother about this matter, the key is that I told my mother what Zheng Sange said to me just now, she would definitely not believe it, and she would think that I was mentally abnormal, and now the only one who knows all the ins and outs of this matter is my grandfather.

If you think about it, I really haven't been to the old man for a few days, and it seems that I have to go to see the old man in the near future, and by the way, I will ask about this matter.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

In a daze, I had the same dream that I had since I was a child, and I woke up after the man like me shot himself.

After waking up, I was very thirsty, and I came out of the back room of the shroud shop and saw my mother helping a few bereaved families who bought shrouds to pick up shrouds, I yawned and walked out of the store to smoke a cigarette outside the store, my mom didn't pay attention to me after seeing me come out, I went outside the store and lit a cigarette and just took a few puffs before the phone rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

After connecting it, there was a noise inside, and then there was a heart-rending voice of a man, and the voice made me creepy, and after I fed it a few times, an old lady's voice came from the other end of the phone and said to me anxiously

"Xiao Liu, your eldest brother-in-law has an accident, please help us"

I was a little baffled by the other end of the phone, I didn't even have a cousin from any big brother-in-law, I said if I made the wrong call, the old lady said with a crying voice that she was the eldest daughter of the old lady who was haunted a few days ago.

As soon as she said this, I suddenly remembered who the person on the other end of the phone who claimed to be the eldest sister, and I asked her not to worry about telling me what was going on, and the eldest sister said that it was not clear on the phone, she was now in the hospital opposite the shroud shop, and if it was convenient, we would find a place to meet and talk in detail.

The eldest brother-in-law is in the hospital opposite the shroud shop, and the eldest brother-in-law is now in the psychiatric department of the hospital.

I was really not familiar with the psychiatric department of this hospital, and it took me a long time to find a psychiatric department.

When I arrived, I called my eldest sister, who said that she was in the doctor's office and would come out to look for me immediately.
