Jia Dong, the little guy, said to us in a milky voice: "When Grandpa was a sanitation worker, he could only earn more than 1,700 yuan a month, but now he is a corpse picker, and people can take away at least three corpses a year, one is 20,000 yuan, which is equivalent to us earning 5,000 yuan a month, and last year six corpses were taken away, and we made a lot of money." ”

Pudding touched Jia Dong's head distressedly and said, "You don't go to school, but you are so good at arithmetic?" ”

Jia Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa taught me." ”

Zhou Boren looked at the six coffins in the house, and said thoughtfully: "Old man Jia, you have worked hard. But Jia Dong's child is still young, if you let him deal with these coffin corpses every day, aren't you afraid that it will affect his physical and mental development? ”

Old Man Jia smiled bitterly: "Why don't you be afraid, but what can be done, it's better than dying of illness." We can only do the business of picking up corpses, and I can only have the money to catch medicine for the little doll, which costs more than 900 yuan a piece, and I have to fight every few days, but it costs money, alas. ”

Pudding is a woman after all, she looked at the young Jia Dong, thinking that he would suffer so many sins at such a young age, maybe it was a woman's natural love for children, Pudding's nose was sore, and her eyes were already moist. When Mr. Jia took Jia Dong to carry firewood outside the door, Pudding looked at me, and then stretched out a hand to me, I asked her what she was doing? She just said two words: "Take the money".

I asked, "How much".

Pudding said, "One hundred thousand."

I felt a pain in my heart, and said softly: "Sister Pudding, we don't open a welfare home, 100,000 is too much, right?" There are more poor children in this world, and if you see one, you will give 100,000, so we can't live our lives? ”

Pudding said, "I know that there are many poor children in this world, but I can't control what I can't see, and since I see this child, I have to help him." ”

Other people's words, I don't buy it, I just have this temper. But Pudding Sister is different, her relationship with me is much closer than everyone else here, and even closer than Lao Lu. She asked for 100,000 yuan, and I had to give it anyway, but there was no signal on my mobile phone in the deep mountains and old forests, and I couldn't transfer it if I wanted to, so I took out a pen and paper, wrote my bank card account number and password on a piece of paper, and handed it to Zhou Boren, asking him to help use the high-power signal to send a message to my colleagues in the office, and send someone to get my bank card in the drawer of my room, and transfer 100,000 yuan to Mr. Jia.

Er Biao looked at me in surprise and said, "Third child, are you so rich in dogs?" 100,000 yuan! Say take it? ”

I said, "I'm rich, isn't this our battalion commander Wang's speech, alas." ”

Pudding Mei ran to my side, pinched my face, and said with a smile: "Political Commissar Mo's political consciousness is still very high, and it is worthy of praise." I think I can seriously consider your wish to be transferred to work in the Women's Federation, and maybe I will approve it as soon as I feel good. ”

I said angrily: "Oh, you still know that I am a political commissar, and you are a small artillery battalion commander, and your power is greater than that of his mother's army commander, alas...... Anyway, I gave 100,000 yuan, but don't say that I don't fight righteousness. With that, I picked up the cornmeal sticker by the stove and took a bite of it, and my heart hurt as if I had been hit by an Italian cannon.

Uncle Lao Yang said: "Then I will also pay 30,000 yuan, although the old decay does not have much savings, but do your best." Anyway, at my age, money is of little use, so it's better to give it to people who need it more. ”

Gu Nianxia said: "Then I will also pay 30,000." ”

Feng Erbiao said: "Don't look at me, I will definitely not fall behind, I will also pay 30,000!" After saying that, he smiled, and that face was as proud as if he had 300,000, and he couldn't wait for his face to be more square than a cigarette box, and he would be able to go to the Yanjing City Newspaper tonight.

Zhou Boren said: "Then I'll pay 100,000." ”

That's it, in just five minutes, a few of us scraped together a full 290,000 yuan, and we didn't need to ask Mr. Jia's bank card account number at all, because the headquarters could find it out as soon as we checked it. So we didn't tell him about it, the money was quietly called, and it is estimated that by the time he found out, we would have left early......

At this time, I saw the old man Jia holding a bundle of firewood in his arms, Jia Dong holding two cabbages in his arms, an old man and a young man returned to the house, and said to us with a smile: "It's fun to have friends from afar, so don't camp outside tonight, if you don't think my coffin here is an eyesore, stay tonight." We didn't have anything to eat in the wilderness, so we got two cabbages and stewed them at night and ate them with cakes, hehe. ”

Er Biao patted his thigh and said, "Why can't there be no vegetables, didn't we shoot a wild boar?" In the evening, pork stewed with Chinese cabbage, with cornmeal paste, that is the most authentic taste in the Northeast, isn't it happy? ”

As soon as Er Biao's words came out, we remembered that there was a wild boar lying on the slope of the mountain! So everyone rolled up their arms and sleeves, ready to work together to carry the wild boar back, but at this time, Old Man Jia stopped us, and he said with a panicked face: "Guys, it's almost dark now, so you can't go out again!" ”

Er Biao asked him, "Why can't you go out?" ”

Old Man Jia said with a solemn expression: "This Cuomei Peak area is haunted at night, and it is dark, so you must not go out!" ”

Er Biao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he said: "Old man, you are really funny, you are a corpse chaser in Xiangxi who is still afraid of ghosts?" Hahaha, isn't this the same as a flight attendant who is afraid of making a plane, this is really fresh. ”

In the face of Feng Erbiao's ridicule, Old Man Jia did not get angry, but his face became more and more solemn, and he said to us: "I know that all heroes are courageous, but how can I, Jia Enguo, be a timid and fearful person? ”

He sighed deeply and continued: "Since I was fourteen years old, I have been learning art behind my master, helping people to dry corpses in Xiangxi. But in fact, I've been a corpse chaser for so many years, but I've never seen any ghosts at all, and they're all scary. But this Qinling is different, there are really ghosts here! ”

Pudding and I think completely differently from the other masters, and we both think that there are ghosts in this world. I nervously asked Mr. Jia, "Is there really a ghost here?" What kind of ghost is it? ”

When Old Man Jia and Jia Dong heard my words, their faces suddenly became very ugly, and they seemed to recall something terrible in their minds. After being silent for a long time, Old Man Jia said coldly to us: "Since ancient times, there have been so many strange things that have happened in the Qinling Mountains, I have been here for less than four years, but I have seen many things that cannot be explained by common sense, and among the things I have seen, the most terrifying and inexplicable one is: Ghost Doctor." ”
