Chapter 7 The Walking Money
This night, I slept until dawn, the sun had risen high outside, and the sun shone in through the window, illuminating the room brightly.
I looked at my watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and I had to go to work at the restaurant in another hour.
The night was very calm, and I didn't even have any more strange dreams, which made me feel very good. I thought I would get up and go to that intersection to see if the money that was thrown on the side of the road last night had been picked up.
I hurriedly got up from the bed, put on my clothes, and was about to leave when I suddenly saw a wallet next to my bed.
It was a black purse, bulging and looking like it was full of money, and it sat quietly next to my bed. To tell you the truth, this wallet is very familiar, I recognized it at a glance, isn't it the same wallet containing the money I threw at the intersection last night?
At this time, I suddenly saw this wallet, the whole person was stunned, cold, the first reaction was dazzling, but take a closer look, yes, this is the wallet I used to hold the money last night, I used this wallet for two or three years, I will never admit mistakes.
I was scared to pee, I was horrified, and the first thing I did was rush to the bedside, open my wallet, and then I gasped, and I was so frightened that I immediately let go and took a few steps back. Because...... The wallet was filled with the money I threw away last night! Dark money*** himself is back inexplicably!
Seeing this, I only felt a chill in my back, and my whole body became frightened. I threw this wallet at the intersection last night, and the door of my house was locked all night, how could this wallet run back by itself?
I wondered that I didn't believe that this wallet had been sent back on purpose, because the door was locked and no one else could get in. And the wallet is a dead thing, and it is impossible for it to grow two legs and run back, so how did it come back? Is it really haunted?
When I thought about it so closely, I felt more and more creepy, and goosebumps rose all over my body. I'm done, it seems that this time I'm really dead!
The fear that had just receded in the morning was once again in my heart, and for a moment I was terrified, this thing was so evil!
I stayed where I was, my mind blank except for fear, I didn't know what to do, and I felt very lost and hopeless.
Yesterday, I thought that God had eyes, and not only let me find Li Qiang, but also inquired about the solution to the disaster. But now it seems that the paralyzed Lao Tzu was played by God, and this money can't be sent away at all.
This can't help but remind me of the strange dream I had two nights ago, in the dream I tried to throw the money in my hand out, but no matter how I scattered, the money just couldn't be thrown away, and it seemed that the things in this dream turned out to be true.
I don't know how this happened, why Li Qiang was able to send away the money and I couldn't. Is God playing tricks on me, or is something wrong with me? Or rather, could it be that Li Qiang deceived me?
On that day, I went to work in a daze, and after getting off work, I didn't go back to the rental office, but went directly to Li Qiang's house.
I have to go to Li Qiang's house again, and I have to ask him what all this is all about, why I can't give away the money, why my money will run back on its own.
Not long after, I came to Li Qiang's house again, but I knocked on the door for a long time and no one came to open the door, and there was no light in his house, obviously there was no one at home.
At this time, a nearby family may have heard a knock on the door, and a woman about sixty years old walked out, and when she saw me standing at the door of Li Qiang's house, she asked me: "Young man, who are you looking for so late?" ”
I said, "Old woman, I want to find Li Qiang, but it seems that there is no one in his house." ”
The old woman said, "Sensei has found it, Qiangzi is dead, and his wife and children are now in the funeral home!" If you're a friend of Qiangzi, go to the funeral home and find his family! ”
"What? Li Qiang is dead! ”
I was really shocked, and I gasped, I couldn't believe what the old woman said.
Isn't Li Qiang fine, didn't he send away the money, I saw him alive and well yesterday, why did he suddenly die again?
Frightened and frightened, I hurriedly asked the old woman: "Mother-in-law, I also saw Li Qiang yesterday and lived a good life, why did I die today?" This...... What the hell is going on? ”
The old woman sighed, as if she felt very sorry for Li Qiang, she said, "Qiangzi had a car accident last night. ”
"Got into a car accident?" As soon as I heard the word car accident, I was shocked, doesn't this mean that the hadron died by a trance?
"Yes, there was a car accident." The old woman nodded and said, "Qiangzi drove a truck to deliver goods to other places yesterday afternoon, and when he came home in the middle of the night, he had a car accident, and the truck fell directly under the cliff on the side of the road. Alas, the body was only brought back this morning. ”
Hearing this, I only felt a chill down my spine, Li Qiangheng died, which means that the five people they picked up the money half a month ago have not escaped the doom of death now.
I don't remember what the old woman muttered and said, I just remember that I was frightened and left Li Qiang's house in a daze.
Panic in my heart, Li Qiang's death, in my opinion, is equivalent to despair, since he is dead, then I, who also picked up the money, how can I escape the arrival of death?
If Li Qiang's survival can make me have a kind of luck psychology in my heart, thinking that I may be able to survive like him, then his death now makes the luck in my heart completely disappear. At this time, the fear of death was even greater, and I felt very scared.
When he was a child, he mistook the money for real money, and he died suddenly after living for three days. Now, not only Lao Wang and Xiao Liu are dead, but even Li Qiang is dead, it seems that the rumors are right, this is really a sign of death, only those who are dying will treat the dead money as real money.
When I think about these things, my heart is full of despair.
After leaving Li Qiang's house that night, I bought a dozen beers, sat on the overpass and drank it, thinking about my own short life, thinking of my parents in my hometown, and when I thought of the sad place, I couldn't stop crying......
Crying and crying, I always felt that someone was looking at me, and when I looked up, I saw a sloppy old Taoist priest who set up a stall next to me. In front of the stall, there is a cardboard billboard that reads: Zhang Tianshi Linggua.
I glanced at him, and saw that he was about sixty years old, dressed in a tattered yellow robe, like an old beggar. There are a lot of people like him on the flyover, in the name of fortune tellers, but they don't have any skills, and they do swagger and deception.
I have been deceived by this kind of person once before, and I spent dozens of yuan in vain, but I didn't figure out any birds.
Seeing that there was an extra stranger around me, and he was always staring at me, I felt uncomfortable, so I was about to leave, but this thing also followed me.
I took a few steps, and he followed me a few steps, staring at me intently.
"Old man, don't you follow me, okay?"
"Old man, are you Mora and my clothes okay?"
"Old man...... Old guy, damn it, you can try it again! ”
"Little friend, don't get angry. The poor road comes from the fairy mountain, waiting for the destined person here. You and I meet here today, there must be a fate, why not let the poor road count a hexagram for you, maybe solve the sorrow in your heart? ”
To tell you the truth, this old man has been pestering me, and I am really very angry in my heart, is this fucking planning to forcibly tell our fortunes?
If I see this kind of person in normal times, I won't pay much attention to it. But today, perhaps because I was really in trouble, and because this old man was weird and had to tell my fortune, I was a little curious, and asked tentatively, "Do you really know how to tell fortunes?" ”
"Xiaoyou, what are these words, Poor Dao is the head of the 107th generation of the Maoshan faction, Zhang Tianshi, how can this Tianshi not know fortune telling? The spiritual hexagram of this heavenly master, if you don't want money! The old Taoist priest gave me a blank look and said with a little displeasure.
Hearing the other party's words, I sighed in my heart. I thought that you old guy was like this, sloppy and sloppy, and the head of the Maoshan faction, and the heavenly master, really coaxed Lao Tzu as a child, let's lie to the ghost.
I despised this old Taoist priest in my heart, but when I heard him say that he didn't want money, I wouldn't care so much about him, so he said: "It's you who said that you don't want money, if you don't want money, if you don't calculate it well, I won't give money." ”
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Poor Dao, hurry up and report your birthday." ”
Maybe I was hoping that someone would save me, or maybe I thought this old guy was weird, so I didn't think much about it, and just reported my birthday. <
