Chapter 11: Burning Paper in the Park
When the bus drove to Guangzhou, it was almost dark, the sun had long been out of sight, which was a good thing for me, along the way was also exposed to the sun a few times, I was so hidden, the sun shot I squatted down to tie my shoes, stomach pain, looking for things, all methods have been used.
The place to get off the bus is not near where I live, and I also need to take a ride, so I usually take the bus, but there is too much luggage in Yuanyuan, and it is far to walk to the bus station, so I simply have a luxury, and reached out to stop a taxi, a girl is out of the house, no one is easy, and I can help.
After getting off the taxi, Yuanyuan said that he wanted to invite me to dinner, and I said that I was not in a hurry, and put my luggage away before eating. She said happily: "Thank you, Brother Chen, you are really my nobleman." I smiled wryly, picked up her large bags and went into the urban village where I lived.
Along the way, there were a lot of noisy people, the environment was dirty and messy, and the air in the alleys was also terrible, and I came to the building where I lived. Yuanyuan was very excited all the way, and there didn't seem to be any discomfort. Her requirements are very low, so low that there are no requirements, as if there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, along the way chattering about her vision for the future, she said that as soon as she goes out, she will meet nobles, and the next life will definitely be very smooth.
Yuanyuan's reaction reminded me of Qian Xiaotong unconsciously, she also came to my rental house twice, the first time she frowned, she didn't speak all the way, and the second time she complained all the way, which made me feel like a failure, and I didn't invite her over again.
My room is very small, a bed, a computer base, and a small wardrobe take up 80% of the space, and after finding a gap in Yuanyuan's luggage, I said to Yuanyuan: "Let's go, good people do it to the end, please have a meal." ”
Yuan Yuan hurriedly said: "I invite you, Brother Chen, I am too troublesome for you, if you don't let me do something, I will not be able to do anything." ”
I smiled, didn't speak, and led her downstairs to find a very ordinary small restaurant. The restaurant had fast food and stir-fried food, and instead of ordering fast food, I ordered two stir-fried dishes, and we didn't eat much along the way, and we were all hungry. I have a lot of rice, and I can add rice for free when I order stir-fried vegetables.
After the meal, we didn't have much communication, Yuanyuan was always curious to ask questions, as if I wanted to know the city again, I just resigned myself to all her questions. I thought that I would call the Wizard tomorrow morning, and then go to the Wizard, if it goes well, I can give this house to Yuanyuan to live in first, and I can't return anyway.
I went to check out after eating, and I rushed to buy it, and I didn't refuse, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too polite, so she will feel that she is very burdensome, and there is not much money for this meal anyway.
As soon as the account was settled, Yuanyuan's phone rang, and she sat upright in her chair, as if accepting a task from her boss, and from the content of her answer, it seemed that it should be a call to inform the interview. After hanging up the phone, she looked very happy, her eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, she shook the mobile phone in her hand and said to me mischievously: "Brother Chen, I will go to the interview tomorrow, if it is successful, I will invite you to a big dinner." ”
I nodded and stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, let's go back to the rental room and clean up first, you sleep in my room tonight, and I'll go to the Internet café for the night." ”
"It's not good, I'd better go to the Internet café." Yuan Yuan immediately retorted.
......
Back to the rented room, Yuanyuan cleaned up a little and turned around to leave, saying that he was going to the Internet café. I said, "It's dangerous for you to go out as a girl, it's a mess here, it's messy like you can't imagine." ”
After listening to me, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, then I'll go find a guest house to live in first, so that you don't have to trouble going to the Internet café." ”
I directly pulled open her big bag that looked like a bed sheet and quilt, pulled out the sheets and quilts inside and threw them on the bed, and said to her: "You put my quilt in the cabinet, lay your own sheets and quilts, you live here first, I have asked a friend to go to the Internet café to play games at night, I took a day in the car today, you rest early." Something called me. By the way, remember to lock the door. After that, I picked up the paper and pen on the table, wrote a phone number and put it on the table, then turned around and walked out the door.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen......" A steady voice sounded behind me, I ignored it and walked downstairs quickly.
Yuanyuan is a smart person, and she is also very adaptable, she should know how to spend her first night in a foreign country, I didn't go directly to the Internet café, but wandered downstairs for a while, it's still too early, and there is no time to package the night, and the cost of Internet access will be relatively high.
Walking out of this urban village, there is a park not far away, where all kinds of people pass by or stay. Most of them are in love, hugging and hugging and talking about love, and I just want to avoid the love show. Found a secluded corner and lay down on a stone bench. I started to think about how I should communicate with the wizard on the phone, and Master Wang said that he had a very strange temper and that he should help me as long as I was sincere.
I wanted to call the wizard directly, but I looked at the time on my phone, it was already past nine o'clock, and at this time, for young people, the nightlife had just begun, but the wizard was an old man, so he should have already slept.
I looked around boredly, and a girl appeared in my sight, dressed in plain white, squatting in a corner that could only be seen in this place, very eye-catching, eye-catching, not because she was beautiful or in good shape, but because she was doing something that made me feel very inexplicable.
She was hiding in a corner that was hard for people to find burning paper, I thought it was a lovelorn girl, burning her past that she wanted to forget, and then take a closer look, no, why did you run here to burn some memories?
Puzzled, I took a few steps forward, and when I saw what the girl was holding in her hand, I was still startled, because what she was holding in her hand was not a love letter or anything like that, but a piece of yellow paper, which I had seen many times, and which was paper money for burning dead people.
A girl, running to these places at night to burn paper money, this behavior made me feel very strange, I unconsciously walked to her side, and asked softly: "Beauty, what are you doing here?" ”
The girl, apparently not paying attention to me, was startled by my greeting, she looked back at me, patted her chest and said, "You scared me, you thought the park keeper was coming." ”
Her reaction made me feel very relaxed, she didn't guard against me like a stranger, as if I knew her.
I said, "I'm not an administrator, I'm just wondering why you're burning paper money here at night." ”
After the girl made sure that she was not the administrator, she continued to burn the paper money and said, "I said that I burned it to the lonely ghosts here, do you believe it?" ”
"Of course I believe it, let's burn it together." I smiled and crouched down, grabbed a handful of paper money from the black bag and began to burn.
"You're such a strange person." The girl said as she burned the paper, the orange light of the fire shining on her face looking ruddy.
I burned the paper and asked casually, "You also believe in ghosts and gods?" ”
She nodded and said, "Sometimes I can see some of them, and I feel that they are very pitiful, so I occasionally come out to burn paper money, hoping to help them." ”
"Sometimes you can see some ghosts?" I asked in a calm tone, I would have been surprised if I had changed before, but now it's different, I've seen ghosts, and more than once.
Seeing that my expression was so flat, the girl looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Yes, you can see it too?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't see them all the time, I've only seen them twice, but I don't feel sorry for them." "Once it's the Yu Man on the hotel bed, and the other time it's the ghost on the grandmother's grave. One borrowed my yang longevity, and the other took the form of a grandmother and wanted to lure me to the past with bad intentions, so I had a bad impression of ghosts, and I could even say that I hated them to the core.
