Chapter 6: Do your best
It's just that I stopped talking, and when I lowered my head and walked forward, my mind kept thinking about what I had just seen.
In addition to this female classmate, several other classmates who went with me, after hearing me say that I had seen a ghost, just laughed at me and didn't give me any chance to speak, which made me embarrassed.
Back in school, as usual, I didn't tell anyone what I was seeing or doing.
After school, I didn't go home directly, but went to Mr. Wang's house again, it was getting dark, and when I looked towards the mourning hall, there were still a lot of people, and the freezer was still horizontal inside.
When I was a child, I heard that according to our custom here, the mortuary takes three days before it can be sent to the crematorium for cremation.
The people around me were bustling, and I carefully identified it, but I didn't find Mr. Wang's figure. Just as I was wondering, someone called me from behind.
It was a man's voice.
When I turned around, I saw Ma Yin, his outfit was still the same as now, a khaki trench coat, and a pair of black sunglasses on his hooked nose.
Before I could speak, he said, "You can see him?" ”
"......" I was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about?" ”
The corners of his mouth hooked a few times: "I mean, you can actually see that ghost?" ”
That night, Ma Yin stood in that place, and we looked at the people who came in and out of the mourning hall at the same time, but we never saw Mr. Wang's ghost again.
Ever since I saw my parents die, I've been able to see spirits on and off that surround me and sometimes talk to me. At first, I was repulsed by them, but then I saw them a lot, and I didn't think it was anything unusual.
"These ghosts are dead, why don't they leave?" I asked Ma Yin.
He replied, "Because they still have unfulfilled wishes, they don't leave because they want someone who can see them to help them fulfill it." ”
I sighed, Ma Yin thought for a moment, and said to me, "This person is your teacher?" ”
"Hmm."
Ma Yin sighed: "At a young age, blood pressure is so high, I don't pay attention to drinking and smoking, and it's normal for blood vessels to rupture......"
I was silent for a while and then I asked him, "Who are you, I can see ghosts, how can you see them?" ”
He said, "I am a ghost, and I have come to take them away." ”
Ghost ......
This is the first time I've heard these two words in my life, and I don't know what the concept is, but Ma Yin gave me the feeling that he was a very powerful person, maybe because he had a pair of eagle-like eyes, maybe because he was wearing a very stylish trench coat.
He said to me, "I'm too busy to have a lot to do, so since you can see them, you can be my assistant." ”
"Assistant?"
"Yes, I'll teach you some skills, and you can help me cross them."
So from that time on, I started to use food to cross these ghosts. Mr. Wang also became my first experiment.
Ms. Wang's wife, who works as an accountant in a supermarket, has just entered kindergarten, and the death of her husband is a very big blow to her.
Finally put the child to sleep, and when she came out of the room, she felt like her whole body was about to fall apart. Her husband's body is still outside, the guests are still there, and now she has to be up to the best of luck to deal with all this.
I have also experienced the death of a loved one, when I was very young, but the feeling at that time was much more vague than that of adults, and sadness was inevitable, but when I woke up, I didn't feel so sad.
Probably this is the difference between children and adults.
Teacher Wang's wife came to the coffin of the refrigerator, looked at her husband under the glass lid, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
There were people around, her voice was as low as possible, I stood behind her, watching her back tremble slightly, and her thin and somewhat weak body was very distressing to see.
And at this moment, I saw Mr. Wang. To be exact, it should be the ghost of Mr. Wang.
I called softly, "Master." ”
I only came this afternoon, so Mr. Wang's wife was no stranger to me, and she turned around to see that it was me, and she was a little surprised: "Why are you here again?" ”
"Master, don't be sad......
Mr. Wang came to his wife's side, and although the other party couldn't see him, he still stood quietly beside his wife and looked at her with tender eyes. After that, he looked at me again and seemed very surprised:
"Song Kun, can you really see me?"
I said yes, and then the wife on the side asked me what I was talking about, I said nothing, and said to her: "Master, Mr. Wang hasn't left yet, he is by your side, and he can hear what you say." ”
The wife choked up a few times, and she glanced at her husband in the coffin: "Tomorrow the funeral home will come and take him away, and after cremation, I will never see him again." ”
As she spoke, she whimpered and sobbed a few times.
She obviously misunderstood my intentions, and I wanted to tell him that Mr. Wang's soul was still there, but she just stared at her husband's body and wept.
Anyway, not everyone can see ghosts like me, and why I have this ability is also an unsolved mystery.
"He has high blood pressure of 19, I told him not to stay up late to prepare for class, he just didn't listen, he wrote until late at night and smoked, sometimes he couldn't sleep and got up behind my back to drink, now it's okay, my life is gone, how can I live without our mother and son......"
She wept sadly as she spoke.
Several women around listened to it and hurriedly came up to persuade her.
When people are sad, they can't listen to anyone's persuasion, and when they are persuaded to cry, they can't control their crying, and the more they talk, the more uncomfortable they become, the more sad they are, the more excited they become, until they finally break out, sit on the ground, and even almost faint and pinch people.
Seeing his wife being possessed by everyone, Teacher Wang looked very sad.
I said to Teacher Wang, "My wife is uncomfortable now, but her life is still going on, but you are the master...... It's almost time for you to leave, don't you have to leave when you die, it's not a way for you to stay here all the time. ”
I didn't want to, but Mr. Wang suddenly said to me: "I want to eat a salted duck egg before leaving." ”
"Salted duck eggs?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, salted duck eggs, only soaked last month, specially went to the market to buy double yolk eggs to soak, I was going to prepare for class at night after not drinking, eat a salted duck egg, nourish the stomach and warm up."
Speaking of this, his expression darkened a little: "It's just that I didn't expect that before I officially ate here, people whined......"
The reason for Mr. Wang's death is a little difficult to say, half of it is because he has high blood pressure and does not pay attention to his body, and he also smokes and drinks, and the other half is because he worked hard for us students.
finally fell on the podium, and that scene can be regarded as exhausting.
