Chapter 2: Haunting (I)

I received a call from Brother Jiu at night, and I was ready to go to bed at that time.

Brother Jiu asked me very seriously on the other end of the phone if I had slept.

I said I'm ready to sleep.

Brother Jiu asked me if I knew about the situation of the bereaved family.

I said I didn't know much, this life was introduced by the old king of the morgue, and I gave the deceased a shroud.

Brother Jiu groaned and said that tonight was a bit unusual, and he wanted to know about the situation in the bereaved family, and when I heard Brother Jiu say this, I suddenly fell asleep, so I sat up on the bed and asked him what was going on.

Brother Jiu lit a cigarette on the other end of the phone and began to tell me what had happened after I left.

After I left, the ninth brother quoted a price to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister agreed without thinking about it, saying that as long as the scenery money is not a problem. After negotiating the price, Brother Jiu asked the home address of the bereaved household, and asked the people of the company to go to the mourning hall and prepare related things first, and after saying goodbye to the bereaved household, Brother Jiu went straight to the bereaved family's home.

The mourning hall was built very smoothly, these are basically not difficult for them to do the funeral industry, they are completely skilled workers, after the mourning hall was built, the mourning music was put up, and after the statue was placed, the ninth brother asked the old lady's family to incense the old lady.

The eldest sister first lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner, and I don't know what's going on, as long as the incense is inserted into the incense burner, it will be extinguished immediately, and it will be the same for other children, and it will not be lit alive or dead.

Brother Jiu didn't tell me how to solve it in the end, and then Brother Jiu lit incense for the family and finally lit it.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you seem to realize something, and they knelt on the ground together and cried, crying so heartbreakingly, and nothing happened after that.

In the evening, the old lady's 6-year-old granddaughter suddenly developed a high fever, burning nosebleeds, and everyone was frightened and rushed the little girl to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, the little girl suddenly got better, her little face turned pale and giggled, the laughter was very penetrating, like the sound of metal rubbing, so frightened that the hairs of several people in the car stood up, and the little girl said while laughing:

You're going to be out of luck!

After speaking, the little girl Hu returned to her previous appearance.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor said that the little girl might have acute meningitis and recommended that she stay in the hospital for observation.

Brother Jiu has been in the bereaved family, about the little girl is the second sister of the family told him, Brother Jiu also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, he asked the remaining few people if the old lady had anything unusual before she died, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, you shook your head and said no, the old lady had lost consciousness for more than half a month before she died, and she lived completely on the equipment of the hospital.

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue suddenly fell without warning, and fell directly on the offering table, smashing over the incense burner and the ever-bright lamp on the table.

The staff of Jiuge's company hurriedly rearranged the statue and cleaned up the things on the table, and after putting the statue back in its original position, they found that the glass on the outside of the statue was broken, and the broken lines of the glass looked particularly hideous on the old lady's face.

Everyone in the audience was stupefied, the eldest sister screamed and fainted, and the ninth brother called me and asked me if I knew what was going on in the bereaved family.

After listening to it, I was terrified, and I suddenly remembered what my mother told me in the morning, this old lady's children are very unfilial, I told Brother Jiu about it, and Brother Jiu lit a cigarette again and said I knew and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I felt that this was a bit beyond my comprehension.

I walked to the living room and sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette carefully thinking about every detail that Brother Jiu told me just now, the more I thought about it, the more creepy I felt, and suddenly felt cool behind me, I looked back suddenly, there was nothing behind, I breathed a sigh of relief, smoked a cigarette, and then my mother came out of the house and asked me why I didn't sleep in the living room at night

I said I couldn't sleep

My mom sat on the couch and asked me if I had anything on my mind

I briefly talked to my mother about the content of Brother Jiu's call just now, and my mother sighed after listening to me

"This is all retribution, don't think too much, this has nothing to do with us, as the saying goes, don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, hurry back to the house and sleep"

After my mother finished speaking, she patted me on the shoulder and yawned and went back to the house to sleep, after my mother returned to the house, I smoked two more cigarettes and couldn't think of a reason to think about it, I also went back to the house to sleep, lying on the bed and turning over and over again, I carefully recalled all the details of what happened from receiving the call from Lao Wang, although I am engaged in this industry, but I have never encountered anything evil since I started in the industry.

I've heard people talk about some evil things before, but I never thought that I would encounter these things in my lifetime, and my mind was a little blurry when I thought about it.

I felt like I was back in the hospital, back to the 23rd bed of the Department of Internal Medicine, I was sealing the deceased, next to the old lady's eldest daughter was crying and I helped me wipe the old lady's face, I was about to take cotton to seal the old lady's ears when the old lady suddenly opened her eyes, looked at me stunned, I was instantly stunned on the spot, the old lady slowly sat up, let out a gloomy laugh, raised her hand and pointed at me and said

"You're going to be out of luck"

I sat up from the bed and looked at my watch, which was already half past seven in the morning, and I was soaked in cold sweat, as if I had just been fished out of the water.

I picked up the water cup on the bedside table, took a sip of water, and took out my mobile phone to call Brother Jiu, who rang for a long time before Brother Jiu answered the phone.

Brother Jiu's voice was extremely tired, it was obvious that what happened in the bereavement's house last night tossed him a lot, I asked Brother Jiu if there was anything new on the bereaved side, Brother Jiu lit a cigarette and said something indescribable, I told him that I had a strange dream last night.

Brother Jiu pondered for a while and said let me go to the mourner's house to find him, and then send me the address WeChat.

After hanging up the phone, Brother Jiu sent me the address of the bereaved household, I got up and moved my arms and legs and walked out of the room, my mother was watching TV in the living room and having breakfast, seeing me coming out of the house and asking me curiously why I got up so early, I said that I had something to do today, I may not be able to go to the store, my mother nodded and did not speak, got up and took out the soy milk fritters left for me from the kitchen.

I usually get up around 9:30, and when I get up, my mom has already gone out for a walk, and my mom will put breakfast in the kitchen, and I will get it myself when I get up.

I sat down and took a sip of soy milk, my mom ate a mouthful of fritters and asked me what I was going to do today, and I said to go to the bereaved family yesterday, I think it's a bit evil.

My mom nodded, stuffed the remaining fritters into her mouth, wiped her hands with a tissue, and said that it was almost too late to make an appointment with my friends to visit the park today, and told me to go out with my bag after eating.

Ever since my dad disappeared, my mom has gone for a walk with friends every morning, sometimes in the park, sometimes in the mountains, and usually until 10 a.m. before returning to the store, and staying until the store closes and going home to watch TV and sleep, and so on.

I absentmindedly ate breakfast after a taxi straight to the mourning family, the location of the mourning family is easier to find, is the city's famous dirty and messy community, there is a stinky river near the community perennial stench, most of the people in our city call this area the corner forgotten by love, which means that the people who live here can not find the object, the truth of this sentence can not be verified, but there are not many young people who live here.

Most of them are lonely old people and small traders who do small business. The driver heard that I was going there and told me that he could only send me to the vicinity of the community, a few days ago it rained heavily, the community is too old and no one manages the road near the community has been close to paralysis, all are mud puddles.

The taxi driver was afraid that the car would lie there, and the driver loved to chat and chatter with me about all kinds of bad things in this community.

He asked me what I was doing

I said I'd go find someone to do something

The driver continued to babble endlessly, my heart was in a mess, it seemed that I hadn't come back from the dream, the driver said that the left ear was in the right ear, and it didn't take long to get to the neighborhood nearby, and the driver had no choice but to send me here.

The front is all deep and shallow puddles, I paid for the car and walked towards the community with a shallow foot, fortunately I was going to the bereaved family today, I changed into a pair of dark sneakers before going out, if I wore light-colored shoes it was really embarrassing.

When I walked to the main gate of the community, I saw Brother Jiu's Sonata parked at the main entrance of the community, Brother Jiu waved at me and motioned me to get in the car, I walked over and opened the car door and found that Brother Jiu's mental state was extremely bad, I handed Brother Jiu a cigarette, Brother Jiu lit it and sighed and said to me

"After so many years of funerals, it's a bit tricky"

I also lit a cigarette and took a puff and asked Brother Jiu what was going on, and Brother Jiu adjusted the back of the seat, adjusted his comfortable position, stretched his legs out of the car window and told me what happened later.

After the eldest sister fainted, everyone carried the eldest sister to the bed in the house.

The two sons were left in the funeral shed to keep vigil, and because the matter was too weird, the ninth brother was not in a hurry to go home at night, so he called the family members present together for a meeting, which meant that this matter was a bit evil, so that everyone could think about whether the old lady had any unfulfilled wishes or something before her death.

A few said no, but Brother Jiu didn't ask anything if he couldn't ask anything, he asked the people from the funeral company to stay near the mourning hall at night, and it was better to respond if there was something.

Nothing happened in the first half of the night, everyone's nervous nerves were slightly relaxed, the two sons were napping in the mourning hall, and in the second half of the night, the eldest sister who was in a coma suddenly woke up, sat on the bed and gasped for breath, everyone hurriedly came over to ask her what was going on, the eldest sister stretched out her hand and pointed to her side and said in horror

"Mom is back, just lying next to me"

As soon as the eldest sister said this, the whole house was like a thunderclap on the ground, everyone panicked, and the ninth brother heard the movement and came to the house to ask what was going on, and then the ninth brother lit a cigarette and said to everyone

"The old lady has come back to her soul"

As soon as Brother Jiu finished speaking, the lights in the room crackled and danced a few times.

The children in the house were almost about to collapse, and everyone knelt down like chickens pecking rice, kowtowing like chickens pecking rice, and kept muttering that they were wrong and begged their mother for forgiveness.

When everyone kowtowed, the lights in the room crackled and beat a few times.

It took a long time for the ninth brother to calm down everyone, he called the eldest brother-in-law aside, the ninth brother handed the eldest brother-in-law a cigarette, the eldest brother-in-law shivered and took a few puffs, the ninth brother asked him what happened to the old lady in her life, if he didn't tell the truth, he couldn't help them.

The eldest brother-in-law heard Brother Jiu say this, as if he had a backbone, and said to Brother Jiu that he must find a way to save them, money is not a problem, Brother Jiu nodded and patted the eldest brother-in-law on the shoulder and asked him to tell him everything from beginning to end.

The old lady has a total of two sons and three daughters, the little girl who had a fever before is the child of the second daughter's family, and the younger daughter is married to another place, and she has to arrive at daytime the next day.

The old lady's wife passed away more than ten years ago, and most of the children have successful careers, either in business or as officials, in short, in the eyes of outsiders, the old lady must be a winner in life.

Although several children are doing well, but the old man has always been ignorant, the old man does not have a pension, every day by picking up bottles outside for money to live, a few days ago it rained heavily the old lady went out to pick up bottles and fell on the side of the road was sent to the hospital by a well-wisher, died in a few days, the ninth brother hated the root of his teeth after listening to it, the eldest brother-in-law also sighed after speaking, handed the ninth brother a cigarette, the ninth brother said to the eldest brother-in-law after a few puffs of cigarettes

"100,000 yuan to help you settle this matter"

Brother Jiu said that he regretted it after saying this.

He knew that his eldest brother-in-law was a well-known developer in our city, specializing in the development of high-end communities, and the community where Brother Jiu lives now was developed by him.

Brother Jiu felt that there was no need to be polite with this kind of scum, asking for 100,000 was really cheap for him, but the words had already been said and there was no way to ask for it again, after Brother Jiu finished speaking, the eldest brother-in-law immediately agreed, saying that 100,000 yuan is the money for doing things, and if things are resolved smoothly, there will be heavy thanks.

I threw the cigarette out of the car window and asked Brother Jiu if he was finished, and Brother Jiu stretched his leg and shook his head and said that it was not over yet.

Brother Jiu is very addicted to smoking, thinking or saying things one after another, Brother Jiu said that after chatting with his eldest brother-in-law for a few words, he called the master he knew, Brother Jiu meant that he wanted the master to help the old lady do things to overdo it, and the master said that he would come and see it the next morning.

Brother Jiu looked at his watch, it was almost 4 o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already a little bright, and he was a little more than capable of everything that happened here.

The ninth brother stretched his waist and planned to go to the car to rest, but at this time, the eldest brother-in-law hurriedly ran over and said to the ninth brother anxiously that the second daughter's accident had happened in the hospital.

At this moment, the bereaved family has regarded the ninth brother as a master, and the eldest brother-in-law asked the driver to take the ninth brother to the hospital to see what is going on with the second daughter, and the ninth brother said that he would take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, so he reluctantly followed the driver to the hospital.

When Brother Jiu arrived at the hospital, he happened to see the little girl sitting on the bed, and her pale little face seemed to be stunned.

Brother Jiu was shocked, after all, Brother Jiu had more or less seen and heard some things in the funeral industry for so many years, and the little girl was obviously ghosted at this moment.

The second sister knelt down for the ninth brother when she saw that the ninth brother was coming, hugged the ninth brother's thigh and asked the ninth brother to save his daughter, the ninth brother helped up the second sister who was kneeling on the ground, comforted the little girl and came to the little girl's side, and only after walking in did she hear the little girl's mouth chattering clearly

"I won't let you go, you unfilial children."
