Chapter 32: Li Qing's cousin
Li Qing just graduated from college this year, and when he was in school, he went to the Internet café to play games every day, and he graduated while playing. A few months before graduation, his classmates were running around to implement the work of the work, but he still couldn't go to the Internet café, but after graduation, he usually went to work and went to work, and he was unemployed after graduation. How many times have I been to the talent market, I have submitted my resume countless times, and there is still no notification call, no matter how big my heart is, I am secretly anxious, and now my relatives and friends are also helping me find a job that suits him.
He also has an identity, that is, Li Mengran's cousin.
On this day, he received a call from his cousin who was far away in country T, telling him that he had to get a visa to come to country T to find him, so he didn't have to fool around in country Z for a day.
After getting a visa, he bought a ticket to country T.
My cousin is in Punoni City, a country T, which is a very famous tourist city, where the environment is very beautiful and the air is very fresh. Before I went to country T, I deliberately checked the information on the Internet, such as local customs and habits, country T has the title of "country of Buddha", and when meeting or saying goodbye, I usually put my hands together to show tribute to each other. Li Qing got off the plane and took a taxi directly to his cousin's factory, and paid attention to tipping when he got off the bus, T country is one of the countries that are used to tipping, and tipping is a kind of etiquette, so when you get off the bus, you should pay some tips appropriately.
When he got out of the car, his cousin and sister-in-law were already at the factory gate to greet him. My cousin is in his 40s, and strangely there are no children yet, so of course it's not good to ask him face-to-face. My cousin's daughter-in-law is a T country, beautiful and plump and sexy, her skin is a little dark, she doesn't understand Chinese, and her cousin translates on the side. Li Qing is a native of Yunnan, so he brought him a lot of special products, and every time he took it out, his cousin's eyes lit up, and he was happy like a child.
My cousin has a local fruit factory, mainly engaged in foreign trade and purchasing T country specialties, the scale is not large, and he has made money in recent years to build a three-story single-story building, with a garage and a garden, and he is considered a middle class in the local life.
There are more than 10 people in my cousin's factory, only 3 are from country Z, and the others are from country T. The cousin led Li Qing to the single building and arranged a room for him on the second floor, the cousin has made a lot of money in recent years, and the furniture and household appliances at home are the latest models, Li Qing is very satisfied with the place, and secretly came to the right place.
When my cousin saw that Li Qing had settled everything, he drove him to Manggu, the capital of country T. Anyone who has been here knows that the nightlife here is very rich, and I have also seen a ladyboy who is more feminine than a woman, Li Qing is a flurry boy who doesn't know anything, and he sees the blood gushing, and later learns that it is a ladyboy, and he feels very uncomfortable.
When he arrived at his cousin, his cousin directly gave him a lot of money, not only to make up for the travel expenses, but also to have a lot left. My cousin is busy with business and doesn't care about him, he still takes care of this cousin, and occasionally takes him to the factory to play. My cousin told him that this place is not as good as China, so he can play peacefully for a few days first, and then learn to do business with him when he has had enough.
But he doesn't like to play very much, one is that his English level is not good, and the other is that there are a lot of customs and taboos in country T, so he chooses to stay at home most of the time, and the trouble is that the TV is a foreign language, so he has to play the game at home in the dark.
On this day, my cousin went to his factory, leaving him alone at home, he had just played a game of multi-tower, and he was going to the refrigerator to get a bottle of Coke, when he heard a sound on the top floor, "pop, pop", like the sound of a basketball on the ground. Li Qing felt strange, he hadn't seen anyone else in his cousin's house for half a month, and he was the only one in this building besides his cousin and cousin-in-law.
He went out of the room, went up to the top floor, looked around and found no source of the sound, only one room was closed, he hadn't paid attention to this room all these days, he thought it was a sundries, but the only thing that was not checked was this room.
He casually opened the door, and when he saw what was inside, he was stunned.
I thought it was a room, but it was actually a space smaller than a large wardrobe, with a wooden niche in it, divided into several levels, and the most central layer had a small silver niche, at most the height of a book, and the front was a transparent glass cover, and there was something coated with gold dust inside, which was a bit humanoid, but too small, and half squatted and half kneeled in a strange posture.
There are a lot of food and toys piled around the silver niche, including bananas, yogurt, fruit, and packets of Thai shrimp crackers, dried mangoes, and some biscuits. He didn't know what it was, but he could guess that it must be something to worship, and he also saw a basketball on the ground, which must have fallen off without putting it down, so he closed the door and exited the room.
After seeing that thing, he recalled that his cousin often sent some snacks upstairs these days, and if he went out on a trip with him, he would call his cousin-in-law every day to ask her not to forget to send food to play. At first, he thought there were some pets on the third floor, but no matter how smart a pet was, it was impossible to play with plastic water guns, right? But because he didn't know it well, and it was difficult to ask questions, it was only now that he realized that these things were offered to that thing. He had seen places where the Buddha was offered to the Buddha in the past, and there was food on the table, but it was the first time he had heard of a toy offering to the Buddha.
My cousin came back in the evening, it seems that he should have made a lot of money today, with a smile on his face, and he must take Li Qing out to eat. The cousin drove Li Qing and his daughter-in-law to a seafood restaurant in the west of the city.
The cousin looked very happy, and the two cousins drank a glass of wine each, Li Qing's alcohol was not good, so he drank some with his cousin, and the cousin was very interested, and drank a few more glasses, and the cousin was not dissuaded by the side.
After his cousin drank it, he began to cry and laugh and sing from time to time, Li Qing took this opportunity to ask him: "Brother, you are forty people, why don't you have a child with your sister-in-law?" ”
The cousin smiled hesitantly, and said a few words to his cousin, it seemed that he had told his cousin about his question, and when he saw that his cousin's face was cold, he immediately shut up and stopped asking. But his cousin patted him on the shoulder and said with a hard tongue, "Your brother has a child, and he is almost two years old now." ”
He was very strange and wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by his cousin. She spoke a foreign language and couldn't understand it, but she could guess that it was probably something like "don't say it again", because she was very excited to see her. But my cousin was already anesthetized with alcohol, so he pushed her away disapprovingly, and said to Li Qing: "Brother, my brother has a son, and he lives upstairs at home." My son is very well-behaved, obedient and sensible, and he can also bless me with a lot of money. What a pity..... It's just that your sister-in-law can't have any more children, otherwise ......"
His words were interrupted by his cousin-in-law again, she picked up her cousin and walked out, and said a few words to Li Qing apologetically, he understood what his cousin-in-law meant, so he had to follow him to settle the bill and call a taxi home.
After returning home, Li Qing helped his cousin send his cousin to the third floor, and went back to the room to chat about Q online, many classmates in the class were online, and he told everything that happened in country T, and when it came to the scene he saw on the top floor, the half-immortals in the class chatted directly with him privately.
The real name of the half-immortal is Zhu Jianben, he likes to listen to strange things in the class, he is interested in feudal superstitions, and I heard that he has also added a supernatural group to a chat software, talking about ghosts, gods and demons every day, and he is very popular.
After chatting with the half-immortal for a long time, Li Qing probably understood what his cousin was offering. The cousin's offering was not an ordinary thing, but a "golden child", an offering made from a dead or unborn baby consecrated by a powerful mage or monk. He was frightened enough to hear it, thinking that he had long heard that Southeast Asians are particularly evil, eating some mice, bats, crickets and other animals, and what kind of head-lowering techniques, his cousin has been poisoned all these years, and he is still thinking about waiting for time to persuade his cousin.
Li Qing, who was still typing the words in the back, ignored him, and the half-immortal shook five or six times in a row, begging hard to let him take a picture of him, but he couldn't stand him swiping the screen over there, so he temporarily promised him to take a picture of him when he had the opportunity.
I chatted with my classmates for a while, went into the game and killed a few handfuls, I was so sleepy that I went to bed, and when I was in a daze in the middle of the night, I heard something on the third floor, and I got up and opened the door, and I heard it more clearly, and there were bursts of crying from the stairs, like men and women. Li Qing was startled, and hesitated in his heart: Go up and have a look?
I didn't want to be so curious, it was creepy enough for ordinary people to hear such a sound in the middle of the night, but the cry upstairs became clearer, it was my cousin's voice. Li Qing was relieved, but he was worried that something would happen to his cousin when he got drunk, so he quietly went upstairs to check.
There were no lights on the third floor, only flickering candlelight, and this scene in the middle of the night was really panicking.
He peeked around the corner and saw his cousin and his wife kneeling in front of the door of the small silver shrine, crying and whispering something. He listened carefully, and could vaguely hear what his cousin said, "My poor child, your life is so miserable", "My son, don't feel lonely, your parents have always been with you", "What's the use of making so much money" and so on. The more he listened, the more confused he became, and he estimated that his cousin might be in a bad mood after drinking, thinking that he had no descendants and no one to inherit the family business.
He saw that it was his cousin and his wife who got up in the middle of the night and tossed around, so he quietly walked back to the room to continue sleeping, he didn't see it, Kuman Thong's eyes flashed towards the place where he left in the glass box.
The next day, my cousin went out with my cousin-in-law, and I also asked Li Qing to walk around, as long as she didn't get lost. Punoni, like the rest of the country, is full of monasteries and pagodas, and many office workers in suits and leather shoes pay their respects to the few Buddha statues on the roadside that he can't even name.
After a few streets, he found it really boring and went home. There is nothing to watch on the TV at home, it is all in foreign languages, and the network at home is disconnected, probably due to the passage of the typhoon a few days ago. There was no TV and no Internet, he felt very bored, and suddenly remembered what the half-immortal said to him, while his cousin was away, he took his mobile phone and quietly went out of the house to go upstairs to watch.
In fact, since he knew that there was a room on the third floor dedicated to Kuman Thong, he felt that the whole building was eerie, especially which room. But people are like this, the more unknown things are, the more curious they are, and often curiosity can suppress the fear in their hearts.
He opened the door, there were two red candles lit during the day, I don't know if it was a mental effect, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him when he entered the door, he laughed at himself, he was really getting more and more timid, what are you afraid of in broad daylight.
The things enshrined around the silver niche had not changed much, but there were two more sets of beautiful children's clothes, a toy pistol, and a delicate sheathed knife, and he took his phone and photographed it everywhere, and looked everywhere, the place was not big, and after reading it, his curiosity was finally satisfied.
At last he returned to the offering table, took out the delicate knife, and thought it was also a toy, but when he pulled it out, he saw that it was made of steel. He gently scraped the blade with his fingers, wondering if it was a little early for a child to play with this thing.
At this time, there was the sound of a motorcycle engine from the window of the corridor, my cousin came back, he quickly put the knife back into the sheath, and made a small cut on his finger in a panic, he didn't care about so much, and hurriedly went downstairs to pretend to watch TV.
The two cousins came up and carried a lot of seafood, and the cousin-in-law wore tight jeans, with round and upturned buttocks, big breasts, and long black hair permed into fine waves, which looked very sexy. I thought to myself that this cousin is actually no more than 35 years old, but her appearance is at most 30 years old, and her cousin is almost 45 years old, so it is not bad to be able to marry such a young and beautiful Thai woman.
My cousin-in-law took some things and sent them to the third floor first, and Li Qing knew that the inside story was not strange. In the chat with his cousin, he learned that his cousin plans to use most of the funds to open a fruit processing base in the local area, there are many factories in Punoni, the most are automobile factories, as well as rubber, fruit factories, etc., the fruits of country T are very famous, and the fruits of Punoni are of first-class quality, and his cousin has contacted several coastal trading companies in China, and chartered a cargo plane to transport fresh fruits from country T to country Z every three days, ready to do a big job.
Li Qing doesn't know business, and he doesn't know how to answer, so he can only ask his cousin to be careful and do it when he has a big grasp, after all, such an investment is not a small amount of money, and his cousin smiled and didn't speak.
In the next few days, Li Qing began to have frequent nightmares when he slept, and the most common thing was to be chased and killed by a baby. The baby was covered in blood and horrified.
He also wondered if it was the thing on the top floor, but his cousin had lived for so long and there was nothing wrong, so he decided to find time to ask his cousin about the third floor.
My cousin has a lot of things, especially these days, he goes out early and returns late, and it is rare to see him, so he can only suppress his doubts and wait for the opportunity. On this day, when he saw his cousin coming home, he ran over and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”
My cousin was a little anxious, didn't look at me, and said directly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't make a fuss, it's just that several bosses in China don't talk about credit, and they negotiated it before, but now they regret it." ”
Before my cousin had reached the front of the building, there was a sudden noise and shouting from the factory.
