Chapter 168: Unable to enter the ground
"Ma, call you, go down." Said the parrot in the cage.
This parrot learns really fast, and the old man and I just arrived here yesterday evening, and he will immediately say "Ma Lao".
Ah Zhou waved his hand and motioned for me to go downstairs.
It's early in the morning, and I don't know what the old guy is doing. I didn't sleep all night, I couldn't be sleepy. I have to talk to Boss Tang about the female ghost, if she yells like this every night, I won't have to sleep.
Walking past Ah Zhou, I glanced at the parrot and suddenly felt a faint strangeness. I couldn't help but stop and take a closer look at the parrot. It's just an ordinary parrot.
Strange, what just felt wrong?
Ah Zhou looked at me suspiciously, I didn't pay any attention to it, and walked out of the door.
Walking down from the upper floor, I saw that in addition to Boss Tang and Old Man Ma, there were three people standing in the shop below. I can't see that although this shroud shop is old and dilapidated, the business is good, and there is business coming to the door early in the morning.
"Boss Tang, you must help us, what the hell is going on!" A middle-aged woman pleaded with a sad face.
This business is not another business, these people are not here to buy incense, candles, paper, wax, gold ingots.
Boss Tang's attitude was resolute: "I have my rules, I can't control your affairs." ”
"Please, this is Xiao Yu's last journey, please! Just let him go in peace. The woman pleaded.
Boss Tang didn't mean to help.
I walked downstairs, and the old man saw me and waved at me to go down.
The three of them glanced at me, didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to plead with Boss Tang.
I was about to ask the old man what was going on, when I heard the old man say, "Just right, leave this matter to this kid, and you should practice for this kid." ”
Practice? I don't even know what this is, so I'll leave it to practice?
I suddenly had an ominous premonition, given my previous experience, it must not be easy for this old man to give me practice. Boss Tang refused.
The three men looked me up and down, suspicion in their eyes.
He ...... All right? The middle-aged woman said suspiciously.
Boss Tang also looked at the old man Ma in puzzlement: "Are you serious?" Do you really want to give it to him? ”
I looked at the old man with disdain, what does this old guy mean, didn't he push some incurable disease to me!
"Master, let's make things clear first, you know in your heart how many catties and taels I have as an apprentice, I don't necessarily have to eat this first and then play." I said.
The old man glanced at me, and then said: "Don't worry, it's no problem to leave this matter to this kid - if there is a problem, this kid won't come back to see me, this little thing can't be done, so he has the face to be my apprentice!" ”
I don't have a choice at all! This old man is really not polite to me!
Boss Tang looked at me meaningfully: "Okay then." ”
The matter was left to the two old men to settle like this, I didn't know what it was, and the three people looked at me with suspicion, not thinking that I could really solve the matter.
Since the matter has been decided, I have the right to go over and take a look, and I think that the old man also knows how many pounds and taels I have, and if it is really troublesome, it will never be handed over to me - of course, it is not ruled out that he deliberately made trouble for me!
"Now you can tell me about it." I said.
The three of them looked at me with suspicion on their faces, and explained the whole story in a thick sense of doubt and distrust.
This matter is not complicated, that is, their son will not be able to enter the earth after his death.
Cremation has already been implemented in this town, but because of the influence of the traditional concept of burial, they still transported the body of their deceased son back to their hometown village, and after Zhang Luo finished the funeral, he was sent to be buried. At the time of the funeral, there was always a fork, either the stick carrying the coffin was broken, or the rope was broken, the spilled paper money could not be dispersed, and the incense could not be lit.
This is all a bad omen, there must be some reason, the deceased refuses to leave.
These people had no choice but to come back and ask Boss Tang for help.
It doesn't sound like a big deal, if the deceased really has any unfulfilled wishes, just help him. Why is this Boss Tang unwilling to take this job? And looking at his appearance, he is still a little resistant to this matter.
"How did your son die?" I asked.
The faces of the three of them changed, their eyes wandered, and they stood up.
"It's, it's just that there was an accident, poor my son, it's no longer so young, how can I live in the future, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person." The middle-aged woman began to cry as she spoke.
It is indeed pitiful enough to die young, but she clearly deliberately diverted the topic and didn't want to mention it. They came to beg someone to do something, and they hid it like this, could it be that her son's death was still unsuccessful!
I looked at Old Man Ma and Boss Tang, and Old Man Ma's wrinkled old face looked at me with a smile, and he looked like he was watching a good show. Boss Tang looked at the shelves around him, adhering to his own rules, and didn't care about this matter at all.
It seems that the problem lies in the cause of death.
I said, "If you don't make things clear, I can't help you, so find someone else!" ”
As soon as they heard me say this, the three of them immediately panicked, although I didn't seem to believe it, but it was probably someone from Boss Tang's side, if I left it alone, they really couldn't help it.
The three of them looked at each other and hesitated for a while, and the middle-aged woman said angrily and sadly: "In the end, it's my fault that I didn't teach him well, and it was my fault that I lost my life because of his nonsense!" ”
The middle-aged man who came with him said: "Don't blame yourself, you were too poor back then, and you always wanted to raise the child up, and you didn't have time to teach him, so he became like that." ”
From their words, we can hear that their son was of bad character during his lifetime, and that he probably died of his own accord.
The two sighed, looked sad, looked at me and looked at Boss Tang and Old Man Ma, and stopped talking, as if they couldn't open their mouths.
I'm not in a hurry, waiting for them to say it themselves.
After a long time, the middle-aged man hesitated and said, "That uncompetitive kid is...... It's sucked to death by itself! ”
I was stunned, and the memories of the past suddenly came back to my mind. I shook my head and shook it all off. It's all in the past, and I have nothing to do with the people and things I used to have.
It turns out that people are so dead, no wonder they feel ashamed and unspeakable. This person can suck himself to death, and he is definitely not a serious person when he is alive, and he may not know how many sins he has created, which is probably the reason why Boss Tang ignored it.
