Chapter 14: A Hall
"Don't talk nonsense there, we are just a simple classmate relationship, she invited me to dinner just to be angry with that Xie Feng" I said to Zeng Lu angrily.
"Second, I think the third is right, Jiang Weiwei in our class seems to really like you, anyway, you don't have a girlfriend, you just try to get in touch with Jiang Weiwei" Huang Tao smiled at me.
"I can't stand you guys, I'm too lazy to take care of the three of you," I said, turning my back to them, not wanting to speak again.
"Third brother, we only have classes at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's play a game" The fourth said to the third with a smile.
"I'll see it,The third smiled and responded,So the two turned on the computer and began to masturbate,LOL is a game that has been popular on the Internet for many years,This game is now suitable for all ages,So to speak,The whole dormitory building may not be able to play alone,I feel like I've derailed from this era.。
"Second child, don't lie down, let's go early and come back early," Huang Tao walked to my bed and beckoned me.
"Okay then," I nodded, got up from the bed and walked out with Huang Tao, and as soon as the two of us walked out of the school gate, Huang Tao's phone rang.
"Mom, why are you calling me?" Huang Tao shouted impatiently at the phone, I stood aside and looked at Huang Tao with a blank eye, I was very jealous, I was jealous that he had a mother who cared about him.
"Ang, okay, I'll go over right away" Huang Tao hung up the phone and his face was a little ugly.
"What's the matter, boss, your face is so ugly," I looked at Huang Tao and asked with concern.
"My mother said that my grandmother was hospitalized, so let me hurry over," Huang Tao explained to me with a frown.
"Then don't accompany me, go to the hospital quickly, I'll just go by myself"
"I'm sorry second brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you today," Huang Tao said to me embarrassedly.
"Boss, if you say this, you will see the outside, family is the most important thing," I said with a smile and patted Huang Tao's shoulder.
"This is the address of the master, I'll go to the hospital first, if you have anything, call me," Huang Tao took out a small note from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand.
"Well, I know, you can go quickly" I took the small note in Huang Tao's hand and said to Huang Tao, Huang Tao nodded to me, turned around, took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
To go or not to go! I looked at the note in my hand and hesitated, I froze in place and thought about it for about ten minutes, and finally I was going to try it, I reached out and stopped a taxi and got in.
"Driver, take me to the No. 88 alley of Shanshang Street" I sat in the back seat of the car and said to the driver driving in front, the driver in front of me did not speak, nodded at me and drove towards Shanshang Street, I sat in the back and looked at the scenery outside the window, and felt desolate in my heart, my life was simply too bitter.
"The boy is here," the taxi driver said as he stopped and turned back to me.
"Oh, how much, master," I asked, pulling my wallet out of my pocket.
"Don't want money, you get off," the taxi driver said to me with a smile, and the taxi driver was a middle-aged man about forty-five or sixteen years old, I was sure that this driver was the first time I had seen it, and I wondered why he didn't want money.
"How can this be, I have to give you money when I take your car, your car is not for boiling water" I took out ten yuan and stuffed it and said, although I don't have money, but I won't take advantage of such a small advantage.
"Today you are the last guest I pulled, and I won't do it after handing over the car, so this trip is free," the middle-aged man who drove the taxi said with a smile on his face.
"I see, thank you so much," I said, scratching the back of my head with some embarrassment.
"Young man, you're a little too polite when you say this, you hurry up and get busy with yours, I'm going to hand over the car"
"Well, goodbye" I got out of the car and waved to the taxi driver, looking at the taxi in the distance, I silently thought in my heart that the good man was safe, but it didn't take long for me to see the taxi driver again, but ........
I turned around and walked towards the No. 88 alley, this alley is not very long, a total of fifteen or sixteen shops were opened on the left and right sides, the curtain of the first shop is relatively large, there is a plaque with black and red letters on it, the plaque is written on the top of the three big characters of the longevity shop, I poked my head and looked curiously into the longevity shop, only to see the coffins of different sizes and colors neatly placed inside, the largest coffin is about three meters long, the smallest is about half a meter long.
There is a paper shop across the door from the shroud shop, and there are cars, horses, cows, boys and girls, cash cows, and so on, and I look at a pair of boys and girls in the shop, and they seem to be smiling at me.
"Young man, you want to buy something" Just as I was fascinated, a dwarf man who was about one meter two tall walked out of the paper shop and said to me with a smile, I shook my head at the man and continued to walk forward.
The shops in front of me have wreath shops, shroud shops, firecracker shops, and candle sellers, standing in the middle of this street, looking at the strange things sold in the shops, which makes my scalp feel numb, this place is really not a lifetime and I don't want to come for a lifetime, because almost all the things sold here are not for living people.
I walked about ten meters further and saw a shop with a plaque of "Yiyitang", which was the destination I was going to this time.
On the wall on the left side of the front door of a hall hangs a long banner of yellow cloth and red characters, which reads Feng Shui to change fortune, sign fortune telling, eight characters to calm the nerves, deal with the murderous house, dispel diseases and eliminate disasters, clean the house and Wangbao, charm and so on.
I stood in the doorway and looked into the room, and I saw a portrait of three old men hanging on the wall in front of the hall, the first of whom was white-haired and white-bearded, wearing a yellow robe and holding a fan that resembled a plantain. The second old man was a black-haired man with a black beard, he was wearing a blue robe and holding a gold ingot in his hand. The third old man was also black-haired and black-bearded, and he was wearing a red robe and holding a handful of white ruyi. Behind the heads of the three old men each stared at a large golden sun.
In front of the portrait there was a mahogany offering table with three kinds of fruit on it, and an incense burner with three half-burned incense sticks inserted into it, and a room with charms painted in traditional Chinese characters on the walls of the room, and I could occasionally recognize a few words.
I walked in slowly and didn't see anyone, this hall is divided into two floors, there is a desk on the right side of the main hall on the first floor, a laptop computer is placed in the center of the table, and on the right side of the laptop is a golden toad about the size of a basketball, and there is a copper coin hanging in the mouth of the golden toad, and there are four big characters Qianlong Tongbao written on the copper coin, and there are several hundred-yuan bills under the seat of the golden toad, and there are fifty and ten yuan in face value. On the left side of the notebook, there were more things, and I saw a sticker, a stack of yellow paper, a brush, a box of red ink, and so on.
"Is there anyone here?" I whispered upstairs, but no one answered me.
"Is there anyone here, please? I shouted upstairs again, this time a little louder than before, but no one answered.
"I'm, you wait for me" Just as I was about to turn around and go out, a man's voice answered me upstairs.
Hearing the man's voice, I stopped walking and walked to the chair across from the desk, sat down, and boredly picked up the skewer on the desk and shook it.
"Bang", I shook out a bamboo skewer from the skewer and dropped it on the table, I picked up the skewer and looked at it, I saw that the upper end of the skewer was written with the words "bottom", and a number 64 was written in the center of the skewer. I put the skewer in the holder and continued to shake it.
"Bang", another bamboo skewer was shaken out of the skewer holder, I picked up the skewer and looked at it again, the upper end of the skewer is still written with the next two words, the number in the center of the bamboo skewer is the same as the previous 64.
"It can't be such a coincidence," I said to myself, I simply poured all the bamboo sticks in the stick holder on the table and looked at them one by one, I counted them, there were a total of 100 bamboo sticks in the stick holder, and the number on each bamboo stick was different, and there was only one bamboo stick named the lower sign number 64.
"Kick, kick, kick" I just put the bamboo stick into the stick, a middle-aged man in a green robe walked down from the upstairs, I looked at the middle-aged man stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged man was also stunned when he saw me.
"It's you" the two of us shouted in unison, this middle-aged man is none other than the strange man I met in the funeral parlor called Jiang Lao, if he hadn't appeared that day, it is estimated that I would have been strangled to death by the female corpse with her arm.
Jiang Lao stood at the top of the stairs and squinted at me, I got up from my chair and looked at Jiang Lao and bowed, "Thank you for that last time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand here today......" I respectfully thanked that Jiang Lao.
"Did you come to me for anything this time?" After Jiang Lao said this, he walked to the office chair opposite me and sat down.
"That....... I seem to have seen a ghost recently, someone introduced me to you, saying that you have a way to solve it," I said while standing opposite Jiang Lao.
"You sit down first" Jiang Lao pointed to the chair next to me and asked me to sit down, I nodded and sat on it unceremoniously.
I sat opposite Jiang Lao and looked at him with a solemn face and waited for him to speak, and he first made himself a cup of tea, and then turned on the computer to fight the landlord, I was left aside by this Jiang Lao and ignored it.
"Elder Jiang, can we talk about me first?" After about half an hour or so, I couldn't help but ask Jiang Lao, who was sitting across from me.
"You don't need to say it, I know your situation" Jiang Lao didn't look at me when he said this, his eyes kept staring at the computer screen.
"Oh" After listening to Jiang Lao's words, I sighed, and Jiang Lao at this time showed a pretentious appearance, which made me a little bored.
"Elder Jiang, look at this matter......" I looked at Elder Jiang and asked again.
"You brought this matter on your own, and I can't help you, you better go back" Jiang Lao said to me coldly, if someone else told me this, I would not hesitate to get up and leave, because nine out of ten people who opened the Dao Hall were liars,
