Chapter 33: Tong Yan (I)

On the morning of December 21, 2012, the reason why I especially remember this day is because of a friend's birthday, which happened to be on this day, and it was also the boiling end of the world in the previous biquel... Received a call from this friend. He is my college classmate, surnamed Ding, has been working in Guangzhou after graduation, said to ask me to attend his birthday activities, he and I have a good relationship, the previous birthday is basically from Wuhan a few classmates eat and drink by themselves, but also happy. It's also my preferred way, and I readily agreed. He knew my temperament and didn't like places where there were too many people and too much excitement, so he told me after I agreed that this time it was not the usual few people, and there were a few colleagues, but I was reassured that the total number was no more than ten. Originally, I didn't like to be tricked like this, but since it's his birthday, he's the boss, and I've promised to come down. That can only put aside some of your own grievances. Go and cheer him on.

On that day, there was no legend that "after darkness falls, the dawn will never come", there were no landslides, no typhoons and tsunamis, not only that, but it was still a sunny day with a gentle wind and sunshine. For the end of the world, there has always been an endless stream of rumors, all kinds of rumors flying around, but there are still many people who believe it. There are even people who think that this has been scammed, and I don't understand it. Optimistic and positive people, even if they encounter the end of the world, are the future. Pessimistic and negative people every tomorrow is the end of the world.

The dinner was in the evening, and he arrived at the place of the dinner on time, and the place he chose was a Hubei restaurant, and he asked for a big bag. The good time is half past five. I'm not a person who doesn't like to be late and don't like to be early. After stepping in, I found that the private room was full. I don't know anyone except Ding. And it's mostly girls. I wondered why he called me. I glared at him dissatisfied, then said hello to everyone and found an empty spot to do it.

This kind of party is boring.,It's all people I don't know.,The main character is not me plus I'm not a person who likes to be in the limelight.,After Ding introduced me.,I completely understood what he meant.,He wants to pull the red line for me. I don't like to get to know people in this way, and I don't have any eye for it. What's more, I always felt that I was not a normal person in this business, and I didn't have any intention to find a partner at that time, so after serving. I sat there in silence. Immerse yourself in eating. Listen to them chatting and gossiping and bragging.

I thought I would be able to finish eating and leave soon, and I was going to clean up that friend when I had supper. But then they talked about one thing, one. I still couldn't help but interject a few words.

The person who said it was a married sister. And the children are more than three years old. He looked like the oldest man in the group. Ding and his colleagues all call her Sister Ou.

Sister Ou said something like this. Sounds like an exaggeration.

She and her husband are both from Shantou. But all work in Guangzhou. Children are taken by their parents before in their hometown. After three years old, I am ready to come to Guangzhou to go to school. So they picked up the kids in September. But after the kid took it. But I found something incredible.

Sister Ou's son's nickname is Doudou, and Doudou has also lived in Guangzhou before. But the time is not short, and there is never anything out of the ordinary. But after coming over this time, he would inexplicably point to a corner of the room and say, "Who are you?" Why come to my house? Or: I'm not afraid of you. If you don't leave, I'll call my dad to beat you. The time is all in the evening. Before going to bed, sometimes after the lights go out. Suddenly got up from the bed and said. Sometimes the lights haven't been turned off yet. Just yelling at a corner. The expression is very serious, not like it is a joke at all. Every time at this time, Sister Ou and his husband were scared and trembled. But nothing happened.

After this incident was spoken, everyone sighed. The twitter began to express his opinion. Some say they saw something. Some say it's boring and playful. Some say Sister Ou is joking. It is also said that the child has been away from his parents for a long time, causing estrangement, and fantasies or something. Some say it's a psychological problem. And so on.

Only Ding did not express his opinion. Just a sinister smile at me. I had a bout of nausea. I know he means help if I can. He knew my profession and would never reveal it, which is why I was able to be friends with him. I have an idea in my heart, this kind of thing, I can meet that is also fate, if the person concerned has an invitation, I generally will not refuse. After listening to their speculations. I said: this shouldn't be that simple.

There was silence in the private room, because I didn't talk much all night, and suddenly a sentence popped up, and everyone was stunned. I don't think it's my little fresh voice that captivates them. I know what they want to hear is what I think.

I was surprised that the private room was suddenly so quiet. I hurriedly asked Sister Ou if Doudou had any other unexpected reactions besides this thing being abnormal. Sister Ou shook her head and said no.

I said, "Then I'll tell you what I think about it." First of all, Doudou is only three years old. If you can use this way to prank, it's basically impossible. The kids in the city can play, and they don't know how to play. Secondly: Sister Ou is not a lie, no parent will joke about this kind of thing., and it is even more impossible to say that it is a psychological problem or something. If there is a psychological problem, it will not only manifest itself in this one thing at all. So I think I'm really touching the unclean things you are talking about...

After that, there was a burst of chatter. There was an atheist girl who retorted even more eagerly: How is it possible. If there is such a thing, then the world is not chaotic. So why do you still believe in science?

I'm too lazy to explain this question. I don't want to answer anything either. Sister Ou happened to be sitting next to me. I asked her, "Will Doudou be like this when he is in his hometown?"

"No, it's been normal," she said.

I said, "Then have you been to any places before you came, such as the cemetery of your ancestors, the ancestral hall, the cave, the land temple, the ruined nunnery and so on.

Sister Ou said that she had been to the ancestral hall when she came. The family said that Doudou was going to study, and he went to worship his ancestors to bless Doudou to learn and progress in the future, and won the first place. I also went to the land temple to worship. I haven't been anywhere else.

I said, "That should be the problem. Did your parents-in-law say that they wanted their ancestors to follow Doudou and bless Doudou. Good health or something?"

Sister Ou looked at me in surprise and said, "How do you know?" That's what a lot of people say over there. The ancestors didn't really follow Doudou, right?

I said if it was an ancestor I don't know, but I'm sure there's definitely something to follow.

The atheist's sister said, "How do you know?" Are you a Taoist priest? By the way, what do you do?

But there were a few girls who were very interested and began to pester me to ask about Taoist priests.

I said, "I simply said that I am not a Taoist priest. I'm just guessing, but I know friends who do this, and if you need it, Sister Ou, I can help you get in touch."

Sister Ou said yes, yes, Xiao Ding's friend talks very well, and the analysis is very reasonable. It's really reliable.

I couldn't stand being praised in person, my face flushed, and I asked for Sister Ou's mobile phone number, saying that after I went back, I asked my Taoist friend to take the initiative to contact you. She said thank you.

Then everyone diverted from the topic and ended this very raw meal unhurriedly. Everyone proposed to sing, but Sister Ou said that she wanted to go back and take the children, and I also shirked it on the grounds that something happened. I was thinking about when I would call those classmates over to celebrate Ding's birthday again.

Sister Ou's home happened to be on my way, so I also offered to let her take a ride. She also gladly accepted. After the car started, Sister Ou asked me if I could give her the phone number of the Taoist friend. She wanted to take the initiative to call and consult, so that it would be polite.

I said to Sister Ou: Actually, I am the Taoist priest I said, but this profession is more sensitive, although it is not like the mortuary who can't hand out business cards or even shake hands with people casually. But it's also a sensitive profession, so I didn't say anything about it.

Sister Ou looked at me a little incredulously and said: It's really unexpected, you are so young, and the image of the Taoist priest in my mind is completely different. But I still believe you, because I feel like you're right. If the ancestors followed, would it be good for Doudou? But even if I knew that it was my ancestor who followed Doudou, I was very scared.

I said, "Not all Taoist priests are bull-nosed. That's what I do. As for the one that Doudou scolded, I'm not sure if it's your ancestor. Either I'll go home with you now and take a look. I'll judge again."

Sister Ou said: "Okay, that's the best, this matter has seriously affected our lives, and I am suspicious all day long, and my husband and I are about to get a little nervous."

Sister Ou's house is not far from the place to eat, so it also arrived quickly. When I entered the house, I saw Sister Ou's husband and Doudou. A very cute little boy with a good mental head, not at all like being haunted by spirits. There is nothing different about it other than being a little over-lively.

I love the lively little kid and get along with him very quickly. After chatting, I asked Doudou: How many people are in your family?

Doudou said: Dad, Mom, and me.

I said, is there anyone else going to play with you?

Doudou said: There is also a grandmother who often watches me in the room where we sleep. Sometimes Mom and Dad come to play with me when they are no longer home.<
