Chapter 9: Stealing Lives
Later, one day, Li Wenjuan stopped going out, and she told Lao Fang that she was completely her wife, and the woman was gone.
Fang Qingsheng was very happy to hear it, although nothing happened over the years, but in Lao Fang's heart, there was always a knot in his heart, as if he was afraid that something would happen.
Hearing that Li Wenjuan's soul was gone, Fang Qingsheng was relieved at once, at this time, his daughter Lotus was unemployed, so he took out some money from the iron cabinet and asked his daughter to do some business.
After Lotus grew up, she didn't have much money to find a partner, and she had been living in her father-in-law's house, and the old party and Li Wenjuan had no opinions, in short, they got along very well, and a year later, they also added a grandson, and the family was happy.
Lianhua always thought that life at home was not easy, and she was very happy to see her father come up with so much money, so she went to a shop with her husband the next day to do business.
That shop is the sauerkraut fish rice noodle opposite "Huatianjindi".
But who knows, the store has just opened, and that night, Li Wenjuan suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage......
Li Wenjuan was paralyzed, and as soon as she lay in bed, she couldn't get up again, and the lotus couple had to do business, and taking care of Li Wenjuan could only fall on Fang Qingsheng's head.
"Old Fang, your son-in-law said that you were dead, but in fact, you are still alive, right?" I looked at him.
Lao Fang looked up, looked at me and blinked, he sighed silently: "That's right, besides my daughter, you are indeed the second person who can see me." ”
Speaking of which, Lao Fang and his wife glanced at each other, I panicked, and stood up all of a sudden, I have read countless ghosts in my life, but at this moment I am really creepy.
I said to Lao Fang: "You are obviously dead, but you are still living in your own body, all because you exchanged with the woman wearing the cloak?" ”
As soon as he finished asking this sentence, a thunderbolt flashed outside the window, and the sky outside became very bright, illuminating Li Wenjuan's body lying in the room white.
It seemed that a thunderstorm was coming, and the old man stood up, he went to the window, and closed the windows one by one.
Then, he came over and sat down next to my wife again: "Xiao Chen, you are right, I am indeed dead, just the day after Li Wenjuan suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
I had a myocardial infarction, and after the ambulance of 120 came, it was determined that I was dead on the spot.
Lotus was about to collapse at that time, my soul came out of my body, and I looked at Li Wenjuan who was still lying on the hospital bed, I thought that my wife's soul was still inside, so I wanted to take her with me, but I couldn't wake her up.
Just then, a strange woman appeared, wearing a cloak and no skin visible all over her body.
She told me that when people die, they have to leave, and everything in the world has nothing to do with me anymore. But I don't want to, isn't my wife also dead, she didn't go, and I won't go.
The woman listened and said that it was okay if I didn't leave, and that she could let me stay and take care of my wife, but I had to exchange something with her. ”
Hearing this, I immediately took over: "What does she want from you?" ”
"She's going to ......"
The old man paused, then looked back at his wife again: "She said, use the joy of my family in the next life......"
My heart trembled: "...... in the next life"
"Yes!" The old man nodded: "That woman said that there is only so much love in my life, and if I want to stay, I can only consume the feelings of the next life." ”
I asked him, "...... Did you promise her? ”
"Yes, I haven't finished my life, what kind of afterlife to talk about, it's enough for a person to live for a lifetime, don't you remember nothing in the afterlife? So I don't care so much! ”
Suddenly, there was another flash of lightning outside the window, and in a trance, I saw the figure of the woman standing outside the window on the sixth floor, all black, and she was pulling down her hat and smiling at me.
I looked at her for a long time, until her figure blurred a little.
I asked Lao Fang again: "What happened later?" How did she do it? ”
Lao Fang's eyes looked at me, his eyes became drier and drier, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "Later, I returned to my body, and after knocking on the door of my house, no one could see me except Lotus.
Lianhua didn't tell anyone that I was back, I still took care of Li Wenjuan at home as before, although she couldn't move her body, she knew that I was back.
She said, "If the woman did me a favor, I was right."
Li Wenjuan listened, it was not strange at all, everything seemed to be under her control, she said that she would die soon, let me wait for her, and then she would be able to reunite with me.
I just took care of her all the time, and suddenly one day, she asked me to do something for her! A very strange thing! ”
Hearing this, I suddenly realized something, so I grabbed Lao Fang's words: "Did she let you go to a place with a very strong yin qi in the middle of the night, draw a white circle on the ground, and stand in it to burn paper money!?" ”
Lao Fang was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
"You don't care about this yet? You chose to go to the back door of that cancer hospital near the morgue, didn't you? ”
After hesitating for a moment, the old man nodded: "Yes!" ”
"I did what she said, and she told me not to leave after I burned it, but to stand there and wait, waiting for a person to walk through that white circle, and to make me count to be eleven, and there must be eleven people walking through it before I could leave!
I do it almost every month, and I don't know why she did it, but I did it. A week ago, just after you left my house, I went there again, and I burned the last pile of paper money again. ”
Hearing this, two words popped up in my head: "Steal your life!" ”
I remembered reading a book a long time ago, and there was a story about how when a person was dying, if he went to a place where the yin qi was heavy, he drew a white circle and burned some paper money. After that, as long as a healthy person passes by, a part of that person's longevity will flow out and pass on to the person who burned the paper money.
I wonder if this is how my uncle and aunt are treating my terminally ill cousin.
However, Li Wenjuan didn't burn the paper herself, she asked Lao Fang to go.
What's more, Lao Fang's wife lives in Li Wenjuan's body, she is paralyzed in bed with cerebral hemorrhage, and it stands to reason that she should hope that she will die soon, so that she can reunite with Lao Fang.
Looking down, I looked at Lao Fang's wife, who didn't speak when I was communicating with Lao Fang, just looked at her husband silently and smiled.
So, I asked her: "You have been living in Li Wenjuan's body for so many years?" ”
