Chapter 33: The Mystery of Guman
My cousin hurriedly went out to look, and he followed, and when he went to the factory floor, he saw a lot of people gathered around a fruit grinder. He and his cousin squeezed in, so frightened that they almost threw up, and one of the workers somehow collapsed into the fruit crusher, and the whole person's head was blurred with crushed flesh and blood, and a large pile of red and white flowed everywhere.
When my cousin-in-law heard the sound, she also rushed over, and when she saw it, she screamed and turned pale with fright. The cousin hurriedly called and asked the man to be helped up and ready to be helped into the car, but at first glance, his head was rotten. After more than 20 minutes, the police came, frowned and began to take pictures and clear the scene, and my cousin was also taken to the police station for questioning.
The factory was temporarily closed, and all the workers were checked by the police, and Li Qing was no exception, and the policeman's expression made him very unhappy, as if he was a smuggler hiding in a black factory. His tourist visa, which has a 30-day expiration date, has not yet expired, and after some cross-examination, there is really no problem, and he is allowed to leave the police station. Talking to a Chinese worker in the factory at the door of the police station, he told me that the police had come to investigate why they had not bought insurance.
Li Qing felt strange, he heard his cousin say that they were all bought for the workers, and couldn't help asking, "You should all have insurance, right?" ”
The worker replied: "Our insurance expired last month, and this month has not been completed, and it just so happens that there is an accident now, and I don't know how to deal with it." ”
Li Qing was taken aback, how could it be so coincidental? Then the worker pointed to the distance and said, "The family of the deceased has come, you see." ”
In the distance, more than a dozen people came on motorcycles, and it was the family of the worker who was killed. Sure enough, when they arrived at the police station, there was a lot of noise, and the angry family almost ate my cousin, but fortunately, a few well-connected workers and the police were fighting.
The family of the deceased also seemed to know that the deceased happened to have no insurance, and began to yell and ask for a price, and the police department knew that the cousin was rich, so they used the topic to accuse the cousin of illegal employment. This matter lasted for nearly a week, and finally the cousin's father entrusted the relationship, and the cousin spent a lot of money to settle the matter, and it was over.
My cousin's father is a small cadre with real power in the local energy bureau, and my cousin is so good here, most of them occupy the relationship between my cousin and sister-in-law.
The cousin's surname is Wang, and he is the son of Li Qing's second aunt. When my cousin was a teenager, his second aunt's family quarreled and divorced, and he followed his mother. Because it is far away from the second aunt's house, it is not often seen, and the second aunt can only meet it when the second aunt returns to her hometown during the school holidays.
At that time, a few cousins and siblings went up the mountain and down the river to have a good time. Later, the land in the village was requisitioned by the state and converted into a development zone, and the relatives bought houses separately and settled down, and they hardly met again. One is that we haven't seen each other for nearly 10 years.
I just heard my mother say that the second aunt was terminally ill and sold all the valuable things in the family, and later more than half a year after the second aunt passed away, my cousin went to work in country T through the unit, met my cousin in Punoni, and simply quit her job after marriage, sold her house and settled in Thailand, and then opened a fruit processing factory. My homesick cousin really wants to go back to China often, but there are no relatives worth caring about at home, and I don't bother to go back after living abroad for a long time.
After this incident, my cousin felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he simply stopped the factory, saying that in a few dozen days, Li Qing's visa expired, and he would take his cousin and sister-in-law back to China, and he happily agreed.
In those days, my cousin had to drive to the embassy of country Z in Manggu every day to apply for a visa and submit materials, so he took the opportunity to buy some local specialties on the street and prepare to take them back to his family and friends to try. On this day, he went shopping, and found that his wallet had been stolen halfway through the stroll, but fortunately he didn't have much with him, so he had to go back and pick it up again.
Now that the factory is closed, everywhere is quietly empty, Li Qing walked to the independent building and went up to the second floor, took out the key from his pocket and was about to open the door when he heard movement and human voices on the third floor. He felt strange, so he crept up to the third floor, and the voice came from his cousin's room, and the words were so low that he couldn't hear them clearly. He took a few steps forward, fortunately the door was not closed tightly, through the crack in the door he saw his cousin-in-law being held in the arms of a strange man and kissed, this scene scared him so much that his soul was gone, he quickly slipped downstairs and walked out, even forgot to take the money, his heart was pounding hard, he had been on the street until the afternoon came back slowly, and saw his cousin-in-law drying clothes in the yard, it seemed that the man had left.
The three of them ate together in the evening, and the cousin-in-law had nothing abnormal with her cousin, but Li Qing felt that this cousin-in-law was really disgusting, and she could be an actor, always wondering if she should stab her cousin about it, as a man, the saddest thing is to be the eighth king, how can this work?
The more Li Qing thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he lost his appetite when he looked at the dishes on the table, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to his cousin to play a game, and his cousin laughed and scolded: "This stinky boy, let's eat, don't worry about him." ”
went upstairs and his mind was full of the scene he saw during the day, although his cousin was old, but he was very good to his cousin-in-law, he had no children for so many years, and it did not affect the relationship between the two, at least before today's incident, he always felt that his cousin and his wife were very affectionate. Shopping, talking about business, even if his cousin-in-law goes to get her hair and do beauty, his cousin will follow, in his opinion, he doesn't understand what happened today.
Perhaps these foreign women's perception of love and marriage is different from that of domestic women.
My cousin sent my cousin-in-law back to her parents' house the next day, saying that I would let my cousin-in-law go home and stay there for a few days, and then I would stay there for a while when I returned to country Z. Li Qing saw that her cousin-in-law was not at home, and after thinking about it, she finally couldn't hold back, found her cousin in the bedroom, and told him what she had seen during the day that day. When my cousin heard this, he was first angry, then silent, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and then let Li Qing go out, and he was quiet.
Seriously, Li Qing still regretted it a little in his heart, if this incident hadn't happened after he bumped into it, he and his cousin-in-law would still be able to live together, and now that he said it, his cousin didn't know what he would think. If the two divorce because of this, then they will be sinners through the ages. If you say the water that spills out, it's useless to think about it, just leave it to fate.
At three o'clock in the morning, the whole building was quiet and terrible, there was no moonlight outside, only the street lamps were dimly shining, and Li Qing kept writhing on the bed in the room, sweating profusely, looking like he was having a nightmare. He kept muttering, "Don't come, don't come." ”
Indeed, now Li Qing is having a terrible dream, a baby covered in blood keeps chasing him, the baby drags a long umbilical cord, making a harsh sound, the most terrifying thing is that this baby has a mouthful of sharp teeth, just when the baby pounced on him, he was so frightened that he immediately sat up from the bed.
Li Qing gasped, the dream just now was too scary, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to get out of bed to pour himself a glass of water, when he saw a black shadow next to the water dispenser, standing quietly motionless, he was so frightened that he instinctively grabbed the quilt with an "ah", and the black shadow disappeared again in the blink of an eye. It seemed that he was dazzled, he settled down, felt the switch and turned on the light, the room was silent, opened the door and came out, saw a shadow flashing in the dark corridor, thought it was his cousin, and walked over.
He shouted, "Cousin, is it you, cousin?" The dark shadow ignored him and went up to the third floor.
He put on his slippers and went up to the third floor, wanting to ask his cousin if he had come to his room to ask him about something, and when he went upstairs, a low voice came from his cousin's room. Li Qing thought to herself, no, my cousin also cheated? No wonder he didn't react much when he told him about his cousin-in-law today.
He put his ear to the door of the room with a light step, and vaguely heard his cousin say: "Son, Dad has always bought you delicious and fun, has Dad done something wrong recently that made you angry?" ”
No one answered, and the cousin paused for a moment before saying, "What?" Are you mistaken, child, when did I feed you raw blood? How could Dad be so confused! ”
After being quiet for a while, my cousin continued: "Good son, you must have misunderstood Dad, tomorrow Dad will go to Manggu to buy you beautiful toys, don't, ah... No. Suddenly, my cousin's words stopped, and from the room came the sound of staccato and painful moans and struggles. Li Qing said secretly, it was broken, something was wrong, and he hurriedly pushed the door, but the door was locked. He shouted his cousin's name, but the cousin couldn't answer, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, kicked it several times in a row, and finally kicked the wooden door open.
There was only one lamp in my cousin's room, and my cousin was lying on the bed and pinching his neck tightly with his hands, with a hideous expression, and his two feet were kicking like a drowning person, which frightened Li Qing, and hurriedly went over to pull away his cousin's hand, but the hand was so strong that he couldn't break it, Li Qing shouted anxiously: "Cousin, what's the matter, what's wrong with you?" Don't think about it! ”
My cousin looked at me in pain, and he couldn't speak, but suddenly my cousin's body seemed to be dragged by something, and he was pulled from the bed directly to the wall and then rose rapidly, and actually hung in the air against the wall.
Li Qing was frightened, took a few steps back and stared blankly, his hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead. The cousin who was in the air barely stretched out a finger to the corner of the wall, Li Qing came back to his senses, ran to the cabinet in the corner, opened a few drawers and hurriedly searched, a few books, some Thai baht cash, a watch and a fruit knife, and found nothing special.
He hurriedly asked, "What do you use?" ”
The cousin was speechless, took out the money, the cousin shook his head reluctantly, he took out the watch again, the cousin's eyes were about to come out, he took out the knife again, and the cousin nodded vigorously. He suddenly remembered the knife he had come to the silver niche yesterday, and he didn't know what it had to do, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped on the bed with the knife and swung it into the air in front of his cousin, but it had no effect.
The cousin's eyes were bloodshot, his tongue was long and stretched out, he couldn't speak, his struggling movements were getting smaller and smaller, his life was hanging by a thread, Li Qing was so anxious that he was dying, and suddenly his heart moved, when he encountered dirty things in China, he was going to splash black dog blood, and now in this crisis situation, will it work to use human blood? He gritted his teeth and cut his fingers with a knife, throwing drops of blood at his cousin.
Strange to say, the blood droplets that were raised did not splash on the wall, but seemed to have touched something and were absorbed, and my cousin's body fell heavily on the bed. Li Qing hurriedly turned on the light, and everything quieted down, as if nothing had happened. He didn't know how to give first aid, so he had to help his cousin beat his chest, and after a few strokes, he gradually recovered, coughed for a long time, and after drinking half a glass of water, he was finally fine.
Li Qing and his cousin were sitting on the edge of the bed, he still had lingering feelings about the scene just now, if it wasn't for his cousin, he would have run away a long time ago, and asked nervously: "Brother, is it haunted?" Do you want to call the police? ”
He shook his head and said while drinking water, "Brother, there's no need, that's not a ghost, it's my son." ”
Li Qing knew that he called the enshrined thing his son, so he said: "A ghost is a ghost, and being a pet is also a ghost, I think we should call the police, or throw that thing away!" ”
The cousin said, "That's really my son, it's me and your sister-in-law's child......"
Li Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this, such a thing was simply incredible.
That's when my cousin began to tell him about the incident. It turned out that the little thing he was worshipping was the dried corpse of a baby, and the baby was none other than the child conceived by his cousin.
My cousin and sister-in-law have been married for two years and have no children, and in the third year, my sister-in-law finally got pregnant, but at four and a half months, the hospital checked that there was something wrong with the fetus, but it could also be born, maybe it was not a big problem. The cousin was afraid that the child would be unhealthy after birth, so he persuaded his wife to beat it. The doctor at the hospital and his cousin are good friends, and said that they can consider sending the fetus to the temple to be made into a ghost to raise, which can attract wealth and treasure, especially the fetus that has not passed through the birth canal has greater spiritual power. My cousin didn't have a good time in country T at that time, and I didn't know what to think, so I entrusted the fetus to a small temple in the southeast of Manggu who was proficient in country Z, and made it into a little ghost to worship at home.
My cousin shook his head and said, "Your cousin-in-law is afraid of pain, so she had to do caesarean section to induce labor, but in fact, she can induce labor naturally." In this way, I invited the little ghost from the temple and put it at home, and began to worship. The domestic introducer told me a lot of precautions and taboos, such as to send delicious food and toys to the little ghost every day, as well as children's clothes, mainly to give more sweets, because children love to eat sweet and drink sweet water, since I started to raise the little ghost, my business is surprisingly good, more and more goods are batched year by year, and the money is more and more, but I don't know how to get it, your cousin-in-law has been pregnant three times in more than two years since then, and each time it was a stillbirth at about four and a half months. ”
Li Qing had never heard of such a thing, stuck out his tongue, and asked, "Is that little ghost jealous and doesn't want you to have any more children and fall out of favor?" ”
The cousin nodded: "Maybe, we only realized this problem when we had a miscarriage for the third time, and at that time we thought about sending the little ghost away, but the temple didn't accept it, saying that the little ghost made of their own fetus was not wanted." Later, I drove the little ghost to the temple in Chiang Mai, but half a month later, I found it in the bookcase in the study! ”
