I asked him to continue, and he pulled out a box of cigarettes, took out one, and handed it to me. I said thank you and told him I don't smoke.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it, taking a puff and exhaling the smoke.

He pondered for a moment, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, he took another puff of cigarette, and finally spoke after exhaling the smoke: "Actually, this house was left behind after my father's death, and this house was originally clean. My wife and I bought a building in the west of the city, so the house was idle. My wife and I discussed renting out the house, so that we could have an extra income, and the house was idle anyway.

A year ago, my wife suddenly suffered from hemiplegia and couldn't go to work. The burden of supporting my family fell on my shoulders alone, and I couldn't earn a few dollars a month as a part-time worker. Rent naturally became an essential source of income.

He pinched out his cigarette and threw it on the ground, tears streaming down his face, he wiped his tears and continued: "That day, I suddenly received a call from a tenant who asked for a refund and said that my house was haunted. Who can believe him by saying this? I thought he was just making up a reason for the refund, so I didn't take it to heart. Naturally, the money was not returned to him, and he also called several times to entangle, but he did not succeed. Within two days he was moving out. The matter is gone; Later, another tenant came in, and after only two days, he called me and said that the house was haunted. This time it caught my attention, there are already two people who say that it is haunted, and it can't be that both of them have come up with such a reason to quit the rent, that is too coincidental. However, I needed the money so much that I didn't give him back the rent, because I said before he paid the rent that the rent was not supported here. I stayed there for two days after he moved out, but I didn't notice anything unusual. So I forgot about it again until the third tenant in the house, who paid a year's rent, and after living for less than a week, he reacted with me that he was haunted, and ran away without even letting me return the rent. That's why I believe the house is really not clean. But I can't do without this financial source...... That's why I continued to rent, and besides, it was haunted and didn't kill anyone, and I couldn't do anything because of life......"

I said, "You didn't invite a mage to come and see it?"

He said: "The family is almost poor and can't open the pot, how can they have the money to hire a mage." You've lived here for half a year, and nothing has happened. I thought the storm was over......"

I said, "For your sake, I will not hold you accountable for concealing the haunting." Those unclean things are very powerful, and with my ability, I can only seal them away, but I can't completely destroy them. The yellow talisman on the door and window is the seal, and it must not be removed, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

He promised very happily, promising that he would not touch the charms, and promising that he would instruct future tenants. I can't tell whether what he said is true or not, but if it is true then his situation is indeed worthy of sympathy, and I hope that what he says is true. If he's lying, I'm too lazy to care, I just hope he listens to me and doesn't tear the talisman off.

I was an outsider in the matter of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, and it was already good for me to help strengthen the seal, so I was not obliged to keep it all the time. Before leaving, I told the landlord not to touch the yellow charm, which was already considered benevolent.

I bought a ticket for the next day to go home, called Lei Xin out for a meal in the evening as a goodbye, and the next day she put me in the car.

When I got home, the sun had set, my father picked me up at the entrance of the village, and my grandmother and mother were at home to make food. I heard from my grandmother that my father knew that I was coming back today, so he had been waiting at the entrance of the village a long time ago.

I brought back some souvenirs and clothes from the city for my parents and grandma, who especially liked the clothes I bought for her. The dinner was very hearty, fried chicken, shredded potatoes, and dumplings stuffed with cabbage, all of which I loved.

After eating, my grandmother said to me, "The village has not been peaceful lately, so don't go out at night."

I said, "Why?"

Grandma said, "There have been unclean things in the village lately."

Grandma is very superstitious, and always likes to transfer some things to ghosts and gods, and the degree of credibility is not high. But this time, her father, who is an atheist, did not refute her, which shows that grandma's words have some basis.

I nodded and said, "Got it."

After dinner, we sat in the living room as a family and chatted about family life. Grandma suddenly popped out and said, "Ning Ning, have you had a girlfriend during the days you have been out?"

I shook my head and said honestly, "No, grandma, I'm still young."

Grandma said: "It's 21 during the Chinese New Year, it's not small." At the head of the village, your Aunt Li's daughter is two years older than you, and she has no object, so she looks so good. I've discussed it with Aunt Li, and I'll arrange for you two to meet when you come back. ”

Fortunately, my teacup had just been put down, and if I heard my grandmother's words while drinking water, I wouldn't have to squirt it out. What kind of arrangement to meet is simply to let me go on a blind date.

I haven't seen Aunt Li's daughter, let me go on a blind date with someone I don't know? Are you kidding. Of course, blind dates are mostly activities carried out by two strangers. But my heart is too small, a Lei Xin is already full, how can there be room for other women?

I don't know what my grandmother thinks, but she actually asked me to go on a blind date. Early marriage is popular in the village, and many of his peers are already married. If they are not old enough, they will hold a banquet first, and then get a marriage certificate when they are old.

I don't know how many people my age have been harmed by this damn atmosphere, and it's an absolute bad habit. Marriage is the beginning of a new home, and what is needed to carry a new home is a sense of responsibility. How can someone my age who doesn't even know what responsibility is, how can he start a family with someone about the same age? No wonder the divorce rate is so high now.

If I really go on a blind date with Aunt Li's daughter, if it is assumed, I will definitely have to get married early. I didn't want to get married so early, so I hurriedly said, "Grandma, my career hasn't settled yet, let's put the matter of falling in love for a while."

When it comes to career, it's just an excuse used to perfunctory grandma. Looking back on my life, I really lived like a salted fish, and I didn't have any ideals at all.

Grandma said: "What are you talking about, starting a family and starting a family, then you have to start a family first and then start a business." How can you start a business if you don't have a family? ”

I was dumbfounded by what my grandmother said, and I didn't know how to respond for a while. When it came to his career, my father became interested and asked, "What are your plans for next year?"

I reported this year's experience to my father, indicating that Zhuze County has limited development space, and I want to go to other cities to see.

The father nodded and said, "It's okay, if you go out more while you're young, you will have other gains even if you can't find the direction of development."

Grandma didn't mention the blind date again, I thought it was over. Who knew that my grandmother woke me up early the next morning, picked out a dress for me, and told me to get up quickly and dress up.

Actually, I guessed that something was wrong, but I still asked, "What are you doing?"

Grandma said, "Go on a blind date, I didn't discuss it with you yesterday."

I almost rolled out of bed, and I said, "Grandma, it was all your own idea last night, and I didn't agree to go on a blind date with that, Aunt Li's daughter."

Grandma said, "Don't talk nonsense, get up and dress up quickly, I've told Aunt Li about it."

I didn't bother to get dressed, so I put on my pajamas and put on my slippers and ran to my father's room. My father had woken up, but he hadn't gotten up yet. I jumped on my father's bed, hid behind him, and said, "Daddy! Grandma wants to force me to go on a blind date, you have to save me. You know, I've got a sweetheart. I don't even like this pro who killed me. ”

The father said, "Your grandmother has discussed it with others, can your grandmother let you go if you don't go?"

I said, "Anyway, I don't care, you are my father, I just want Lei Xin to be your daughter-in-law, you have to save me."

The father said, "You won't politely go and see it, don't you agree after reading it, don't you have to have a result?"

I thought about it, but when my dad said this, I suddenly felt that blind dates were not so terrible.

What I couldn't stand the most was that my grandmother had to help me get my hairstyle like Chow Yun-fat, saying that this hairstyle was the most popular hairstyle of their time. It is said that my grandfather had this hairstyle when he was alive. No wonder my grandmother was so skilled when she helped me with my hair, I almost thought that my grandmother was a hairstylist when she was younger.

After the hairstyle was done, grandma praised her handsomeness. I didn't think it was handsome, the wax made my hair shiny, like a dog licking it. But it doesn't matter, I didn't want to go, and I didn't want to have any results, and the image was almost a good thing.

The blind date was arranged at Aunt Li's house, and she was having dinner when we went. She said her daughter was still sleeping, so she went to call her. Aunt Li entered her daughter's room and walked out a moment later.

An hour has passed, and the daughter of the legendary Aunt Li has not yet appeared. I'm a little anxious, not because I'm in a hurry to see her, but because I want to end this damn blind date quickly.

I was bored on the side, my grandmother and Aunt Li were chatting on the side, and I couldn't interject when they were chatting, so I had to take out my mobile phone and chat with Lei Xin. Of course, I didn't tell her about the blind date.

About another hour later, the legendary Aunt Li's daughter came out of the bedroom.

She wore her hair draped and looked energetic, not like she had just gotten out of bed. If you look closely, the makeup is all done.

It dawned on me that it was no wonder that I hadn't come out for so long, it turned out that I was hiding in the house and putting on makeup. I can kind of understand why it takes a morning for girls to go out.

Her makeup is very thick, her eyebrows are carefully outlined with eyebrow pencils, her lips are painted scarlet, and the foundation on her face has covered her original complexion. Maybe it's because I'm a little face blind, I think girls look the same when they wear makeup, and it's hard to tell who's who.

When Aunt Li saw her daughter come out, she hurriedly introduced her daughter: "Dandan, come here, this is Yongning." You know each other. ”

Dandan said shyly, "Oh, Mom." How embarrassed are we to meet here, in this way, Yongning and I go out for a walk, and we get to know each other while shopping, okay? ”

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Okay, good."

I was amazed at how girls are so proactive now. But it's okay, it's just the embarrassment of two people to go out for a walk, but here it's the embarrassment of four people. The girls have already spoken, and if I, a big man, pushes back again, it will inevitably make people laugh.

In that case, the only way to do it is to bite the bullet.
