Chapter 1: Entering the Zero Spirit Hall for the First Time
There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it.
But there are some people who don't believe in fate.
My name is Zhong Hao, I am an authentic rural child, my family conditions are not very good, I went south to Guangdong to work before I finished junior high school, just like that song, I have been wandering outside for ten years, I have all kinds of experiences, but I have never made any money. And like these girls now, they are very snobbish, they have to ask for tickets when they look at the house, they look at the car, and they have to ask for tickets, and the society is very cruel, so that I am 25 years old this year, and I have never been married and started a family, and I have been single so far.
Parents with strong traditional concepts, for my lifelong events are about to rot, and I haven't stopped when I come back for the New Year, and I have arranged rural girls to go on blind dates everywhere, which either people don't look down on me, or I suspect that people's appearance is too low and crooked, although they are willing but I don't want to, so I haven't synthesized after a toss.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, my cousin came to our house to pay New Year's greetings, driving a BMW 5 Series worth more than 500,000 yuan.
Although my aunt is very rich, the biggest feature is that she has not been married yet, which is not without reason, mainly because of her image I think, people are fat like a rice bowl, this figure is so bad? Perm red hair and lipstick and dye nails, this set is a flowing water and does not fall into the trend, it is a pair of heavy makeup, the smell of sprayed perfume can be smelled from afar, especially the big thick legs are simply spicy eyes, what clothes are not good for this aunt to wear in middle age, I prefer to learn from the young girl's set of sexy play, put on a pair of black lace edging stockings, get up and walk, stockings have the illusion of being stretched off by the big thick legs at any time, I really don't know the aesthetics of a rich woman like Aunt She, what do you think?
When my aunt learned about my situation, she asked me in Guangdong, how much is it for more than a month to work for more than a month? I answered truthfully, including food and lodging three thousand and five.
My aunt said on the spot that such a salary is too low, and it is completely unsuitable for a guy like me, so she told me that she had passed the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, should you go to her to do something?
I asked my aunt how much her salary was, and my aunt directly said that the basic salary was 8,000, which was also inclusive of food and accommodation!
I asked again what to do? I want to give such a high salary, even in the Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou area, it is difficult to have, and with my initial level of Chinese, even if I do things with such a relative as my aunt, it is estimated that it will not be so easy.
"It's okay, I'm working with your aunt and me, it's almost enough to know a few words."
My aunt said that she opened a cleaning company in Changsha, the provincial capital, and my job in the past was to be responsible for cleaning with her.
My mouth opened wide when I heard this: "No, which cleaning company has such a high salary?" ”
"Hehe, of course this is your aunt and mine."
My aunt smiled and said that working with her not only gave me a high salary, but more importantly, she also assured me that she would definitely let me get a daughter-in-law! And the point is, I don't need to spend money, I guarantee that it is beautiful and good to me wholeheartedly!
Such a promise, if it were to be said from someone else's mouth, is indeed not credible!
But she's my aunt, and if someone as rich as her says, she really won't lie!
"Okay, good ......"
When my parents heard this, they were even more excited and took my aunt's hand, trembling and saying that this matter should be settled like this, let me do things with my aunt.
Speaking of which, if what my aunt said is true, I am quite willing to do so, after all, such a high salary, and a guarantee that I will be able to marry a wife, for an older leftover man like me, it is undoubtedly the best treatment, only fools don't go!
Soon, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I packed up and came to Changsha with some excitement!
My aunt drove her BMW and picked me up at the station gate a long time ago.
I thought that after my aunt saw me, she immediately took me to her cleaning company to go through the entry procedures, but first she took me to a trip to Wanda Shopping Mall, what did my aunt say about my dress, it was too outdated to integrate into the work, without saying a word, I bought me a few sets of brand-name new clothes, even the mobile phone to see that I still use the Xiaomi 3, the system is stuck to the no, my aunt rich woman shook off the momentum, gave me a new Apple XS, and then took me to do a fashion hairstyle.
Dressed up like this, although my whole person is completely new, but I secretly calculated the money it spent, and it was more than 20,000 yuan, which may not be a big deal for a big boss like my aunt who drives a BMW, but in the eyes of a working boy like me, this pain is dripping blood!
"It's okay, even if my aunt invites you, just work hard in the future."
My aunt didn't care how much it spent, and after dressing me up, she invited me to a five-star hotel for a meal, although I don't know how much it spent, but I am sure that the cost will definitely not be low.
I thought that my aunt was so good to me, and she used so much money for me before she started working, so I really couldn't help it, and I thought that after I put myself into work, I must do things well!
After dinner, my aunt took me back to her cleaning company.
"Well, this ...... Is this what it is? ”
I also thought that a rich woman like my aunt and a big boss opened a cleaning company that was definitely a big place and very lively, but I didn't expect it to be just an old house hidden in a quiet alley.
With such an atmosphere in the environment, I can't help but wonder, is this really a cleaning company? It doesn't look like it.
"This mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons."
My aunt patted me on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Appearance is not important, just make money." ”
Well, that's right, what my aunt said is also true, in fact, many rich big bosses outside are very low-key in doing things, and they don't like to show off anything, like the cleaning company opened by my aunt, it must have made a lot of money, right? Otherwise, how could she wear gold and silver, and drive a BMW.
"Ah, my sister! Promise me! ”
Just as we were about to enter the door, a middle-aged man in a suit rushed up from the side, and he didn't know how to do it, he cried to his aunt with a sad face, and he almost didn't hug the sincerity of his aunt's grandmother: "Okay, sister, I'll give you 500,000 yuan, no, I'll add 300,000, a total of 800,000, this is 800,000 ah, sister!" Please do well, save me, I don't want to die so early! ”
The man in the suit was crying and crying like this, which made me a little stunned, and my aunt seemed to know his situation, but not only did she not cater to him, but she made a straight face: "Want to save your life? Okay, go to the doctor, or the police. ”
"Sister, you ......"
Seeing that his aunt didn't agree in a cold manner, the man in the suit changed his pitiful appearance just now, and threatened with a fierce face: "Okay, you dead fat woman!" If you don't agree today, believe it or not, Lao Tzu just said this, and you won't be able to open this Broken Zero Spirit Hall in minutes, and you will never have any business to do! ”
The aunt snorted coldly in disdain, and lit a cigarette and said, "If you have the ability, then you can try it." ”
My aunt's posture was also very tough, and she was not frightened by the man in the suit, so she pulled me into the Zero Spirit Hall, and closed the door with a snap, completely ignoring the situation outside.
"Auntie, that person just now, he is ......"
"Leave him alone, spoiled."
My aunt really didn't take the matter of this man in a suit at ease, and took me into the Zero Spirit Hall.
Seriously, I'm working outside, and it's not like I haven't seen a professional cleaning company. But entering the cleaning company of Linglingtang opened by my aunt made me feel that this was completely wrong.
Let's put it this way, like the general cleaning company, there will be cleaning appliances like brooms and mops, but in the Zero Spirit Hall, you can't see it at all, and some are instead something, like gossip discs, sandalwood, garlic and other messy things, which are reminiscent of a cleaning company at all, and it is completely inconsistent with the atmosphere of cleanliness.
In addition, in the middle of the hall of the Zero Spirit Hall, what made me pay attention to it was that there was actually a mottled bronze statue of an old man wearing a Taoist robe and long hair, and there were fresh fruits on the sacrificial table, as well as a long cloud of high incense smoke lingering, and it could be seen that my aunt was very concerned about this.
At first, I thought that this bronze statue should be some kind of relative of my aunt, otherwise how would I enjoy this kind of treatment?
But I heard my aunt say that this bronze statue is really not her relatives, but Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, one of the three patriarchs of Taoism.
During the introduction, I saw that my aunt's expression was very dignified and serious, and I respected this bronze statue very much.
"Okay, this is where you live in the future."
My aunt led me to open the door of a room, and when I saw the things in the room, I was so frightened that I exclaimed on the spot: "I'll go, is there a mistake, Auntie?" Where did this come from! ”
I thought this would be my nest, and I would sleep here every night in the future, but I really don't know, what is my aunt thinking about in her mind, in a good house, you say it's normal to put a computer or something, but it's not good to put a coffin, isn't it scary?
"Oh, that's embarrassing, Xiao Hao."
My aunt apologized to me and said, "My aunt forgot to tell you, like our Zero Spirit Hall, the room is full of things, and only this room is relatively empty, so I wronged you to live like this." But ah, like that, a dignified and manly husband like you, would you be afraid that a coffin would not be made? ”
Seeing my aunt laughing at me, I was a little embarrassed.
In fact, I was born in my hometown in the countryside, my parents have already prepared for themselves, and I have long been accustomed to this situation when the coffin is placed at home a hundred years later, and I am quite bold, I have been sleeping alone since I was five years old, like some famous horror movies at home and abroad, I have watched it all over and over again, and I don't feel any fear at all.
But somehow, when I saw this coffin, a layer of fear rose in my heart, and there was a creepy and eerie feeling.
First of all, the way this coffin is placed, different from the coffin of my parents, it is not placed directly on the ground, but by four very thick black iron chains, locking several corners of the coffin, and the other end of the chain is then driven into the wall, so that the coffin body is about a meter from the ground, hanging up and hanging in the air.
This situation reminds me of an idiom: five horses divide the corpse.
In addition, I also noticed that there are many dark gray fonts engraved on the body of this coffin, as for what is written, I don't understand the meaning at all, it feels like a ghost drawing it looks scribbled, but it doesn't look like scribble, in short, like such a strange coffin here, I really feel a little resistant in my heart, vaguely uneasy.
"Auntie, I'll go and rent another room next to it, ...... here"
"No way!"
I didn't expect my aunt to flatly refuse me, "It's not safe for you to live outside alone, it's good to live with your aunt." ”
"But, Auntie."
I was a little embarrassed and reluctantly said: "This coffin, I really don't want to live with it, it's a bit infiltrating." ”
After thinking about it, my aunt brought in a large piece of yellow cloth from outside and covered the coffin: "Okay, now you shouldn't be scared, right?" ”
