Chapter 2: Garlic sprouts return to the pot meat

As she said this, she looked up at her balcony, the door was wide open, the wind poured in from outside, and the sky that was originally bright and sunny was clouded at some point.

"After the woman's death, her soul wandered here, and the tenants left and came, and each time they couldn't stay for a few days, and then they fled in fright......"

Looking at the sky outside the balcony, I shuddered.

I asked her, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I'm not a tenant." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a little pride: "This house is my own." ”

"Your own?"

The woman sat down at the table, and the smell of the meat was very good, and she stared at the meat, and I saw her swallow. Then she looked up at me again:

"You don't believe it? I really bought this house, don't look at my youth, I can make money. ”

"I believe it." I say.

"I graduated from college at the age of twenty-one, came from a small county, had been renting a house before, saved some money, and my mother added some more to me, and the down payment came."

I nodded a little and exclaimed, "Yes, you're very capable." ”

She smiled: "I'm an accountant, I can work part-time, I take the accounts of several companies in private, and I don't spend much money." I rented this house before, but then the landlord said that it would be sold, and I saw that it was a good environment or something, so I bought it. ”

I said, "Then you're working hard." ”

She smiled: "It's young, it doesn't matter. ”

At this point, she paused and added, "But, as soon as I bought this house, something strange happened......

"What's weird?" I stared at her.

"There's always another person in my room, and whether you believe it or not, it's a strong feeling. This person is right there for me, all the time. It doesn't matter if I'm working, resting, or sleeping...... I can always feel a person wandering around my house. ”

As she said this, her eyes kept staring at the balcony: "Do you understand this feeling, it's scary...... It must be the female ghost in the opposite room, she found me......"

She looked very serious, so I asked her, "You know...... That woman, why did she kill herself? ”

The wind blew from the balcony and lifted her hair high.

"I don't know," she said. ”

I didn't want to ask any more, so I asked her to eat first, she must be hungry, and when I said this, she picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

The fat and thin slices of meat are crystal red and shiny, and the lean meat is slag, and the fat with the skin is full of toughness.

I watched her eat, taking a bite of rice and a bite of meat, with relish.

"My mother is not in good health, and every time she gets sick, she has to go back to her hometown to be hospitalized. I want to settle down in the city, so that her hukou can move over, the medical conditions in the city are better, and I am relieved to be next to me. ”

Beads of oil slipped from the corners of her mouth, and I pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, and she took it and said thank you to me.

"After I bought the house, I put on my favorite pink wallpaper, and the sofa, which I also bought later."

As she said this, she turned her head to look at the bright red and showy sofa.

"When I first sat on it, I liked it the most, and I bought it even though it was expensive."

I was about to say something, but at this moment, I saw her seven holes begin to bleed, and when she opened her mouth, she had a mouthful of blood bubbles pouring out directly:

"But what I didn't expect was that when I finally scraped together enough down payment, I was about to close the house, just half a year ago, the house price suddenly began to rise wildly, and the landlord actually stopped selling, and she wanted to break the contract!"

Her emotions began to agitate, her brow furrowed, and the mole on her left stood out.

At that moment, the wind was blowing, and her whole body in the red dress floated into the air, and she shouted angrily: "This is my house, no one can kick me out!" ”

The voice carried a great anger, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot, and the confetti flew into the air, and there was a feeling of overwhelmingness.

"That damn woman backtracked, she forced me to death, and I'm going to stay here forever!"

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and she is floating in mid-air, like a ghost.

I stood where I was, staring at her, and all of a sudden, she lunged at me and grabbed me by the neck with one hand: "Get out of my house!" ”

She yelled at me, her face full of hideousness.

The female ghost's fingers were cold, and I was held in the air by her, without the slightest fear on my face, and just said lightly:

"Is that pot meat delicious? Your mom taught me to do it. ”

As soon as the words fell, her hand was released, and she looked at me stupidly, a little incredulous: "My mother ......"

was thrown to the ground by her, and I didn't feel pain: "I'm here to help you, don't torture yourself anymore, let's go, this world doesn't belong to you anymore." ”

She didn't say anything, and after looking at me for a long time, she suddenly began to cry.

I sighed: "Your mother said that your favorite food when you were a child was this garlic sprout back to the pot meat, so I brought it to you." ”

The female ghost choked up: "My mother's cooking is delicious, especially the back pot meat." ”

"How am I doing?"

She nodded: "It's delicious, it tastes the same as my mother." ”

"Do you still have resentment in your heart now?"

“……”

"It's time for you to go......"

I saw her cowering on the ground sobbing and muttering words that I couldn't hear.

She stood up, her face was no longer as hideous as before, she looked at me blankly: "I want to see my mother......"

"You'll see her."

She was stunned for a moment, and then she was silent for a long time before nodding, and she walked out onto the balcony.

It was completely dark outside, there was no longer wind, and she looked beautiful in her long dress. She turned around and smiled at me, and at that moment, she looked very indifferent.

"I'm leaving, I'm not going to stay here." She said to me.

"That's good." I nodded.

I saw a circle of light around her body, and she asked me, "What does it look like over there?" ”

Shaking my head, I said, "I don't know either." ”

I lied to her, I didn't know anything about that side, the only thing I knew for sure was that at the entrance, the sky was pitch black, and the ground was covered with white pebbles, and it was cold to step on.

The female ghost's body gradually disappeared into a white circle, and at the last moment, she waved at me and said thank you to me with a smile.

I breathed a sigh of relief when everything on the balcony was gone.

When I came to the study, I opened a piece of news:

Chen Juan, female, jumped from the balcony on the 24th floor in a fit of anger because of a dispute over buying a house half a year ago. Closing the web page, I also closed the financial software that Chen Juan used just now.

These ghosts have obsessions in their hearts, so they stay in the world and do not leave. They often don't know they're dead, and they're still doing what happened before them, over and over again.

Or perhaps, they actually know that they are ghosts, but they don't want to admit this fact.

Chen Juan, like those ghosts, stayed in the house where she committed suicide. After those tenants moved in, they were scared away again and again, and Chen Juan herself was also disturbed by the tenants who came and went.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa, I looked at the pink wallpaper and sighed.

In order to give themselves a place to stay, too many people like Chen Juan have devoted their hearts and souls to trapping themselves and painting the ground as a prison all their lives.

Chen Juan is certainly a tragedy because she died.

In this world, there are countless living "Chen Juan", who are humbly struggling at the bottom of society, trying everything to no longer send people under the fence in this city.

Many times, in fact, the living are often more miserable than the dead.

Fate is out of control.

In fact, ghosts are similar to people in many ways. I found that although they had no body, their sense of taste had not deteriorated. As the retired teacher on TV said before:

The stomach is the organ closest to the heart, and one day, our consciousness begins to shrink, and the only thing that can evoke those memories is food.

So, after learning what their obsession was, I would make their favorite dish in life, the dish that Chen Juan ate just now, I learned after I went to her hometown and found her mother.

After eating this dish, the ghosts' obsessions will be eliminated and they will leave.

So, I'm not so much a ghost hunter as a grudge hunter.

The phone rang, and it was the landlady.

She asked me on the other end of the phone if I was done, and I said yes. She was very happy and said that she would transfer the money to me immediately, WeChat Pay, but she would have to deduct 30% of the deposit, because she didn't dare to guarantee that I was not lying to her.

Sure enough, she is a shrewd woman, who works to calculate. However, there is nothing wrong with this, the law of the jungle has always been like this, survival of the fittest.

I said yes, no problem.

The landlady said: "After Chen Juan's death, this house has been in bad luck, and if I don't get rid of her, I won't be in the mood to travel." Seeing that I didn't speak, after a pause, she said: "The weather in China has been bad recently, and the climate in Thailand is not bad." ”

I said yes, and she hung up.

I received a transfer message on WeChat, the amount is correct, and I clicked to confirm.

I helped the landlady send away Chen Juan, a female ghost who had been staying at her house and refused to leave. She gave me money, I helped her solve the problem, and we each took what we needed.

Equivalent exchange, everything in this world can be clearly priced, and everyone can get along for a long time without losing or owing.

By the time I left the complex, it was already completely dark.

The sky was dotted with stars, the phone rang, and at first glance, it was my roommate in the roommate.

His name is Zhang Mingming, he works at a chain snack bar, and just yesterday, he proudly told me that he was about to be promoted to store manager.

Answering the phone, sure enough, he forgot to bring the key again, I sighed and said I'll be back soon.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I saw a dark shadow flash in front of me......
