Chapter 8: Sacrificing Demons

Liu Yu's master picked up the phone, agreed from time to time, and then said: "You wait for my call in two days!" He hung up the phone, he looked at us and said, "Xiaoyu, there are some things to deal with for the teacher, you and Dachuan should go back first, and then call you over after the two of you are done with the teacher."

We said goodbye to his master, Liu Yu took me to another place, we sat in the car for a long time, and passed through a small alley, in a residential building opposite a hospital, there was a small dilapidated house, and the door was pasted with three crooked words - shroud shop. The black iron door is tightly covered, and the dilapidated door latch has an iron general on the door, Liu Yu took out a key from his pocket and stepped into the house, a hot air hit, driving away the cold air that was freezing outside, I took off my coat and put it on my arm, although it was shabby, it was very clean, as if there were often people there, I don't know if others felt it, I always felt that the smell of a house that was inhabited or often stayed in was different from a house that had been unoccupied for a long time, which may be the so-called popularity. I raised my eyes to a large number of this room, it seems to be a small suite, the outside of the door is a table, behind the table is a Buddha statue, because the room is dark, I did not see its appearance, on both sides of the two long shelves, more than one meter high shelves are full of all kinds of paper products, even small houses, small cars, very realistic, but unfortunately are fake. On the wall above the shelves hang various styles of shrouds, men's and women's clothes, but most of them are Tang costumes with big money on their chests. Since it was my first time here, I didn't dare to walk around without permission, I just stood there and watched.

Liu Yu walked behind the table, respectfully put three sticks of incense on the Buddha statue, turned on the computer on the table, and said to me, "This shop belongs to the master, usually there is a master's friend who takes care of it, he has something to go out in the past two days, and I will help deal with some customers' orders." I nodded, and he pulled out another notebook, wrote something down on it, and when he was done, he said to me, "All right, let's go." ”

On the way back, Liu Yu told me that this time the customer wanted a two-story villa, he didn't like the spot in the store, and hoped to have a more delicate one, so that he could burn it to him on his father's death day, Liu Yu hoped that I could help him complete it together, and after listening to his words, I said that I was very willing to help, this is the first time I have done such a small handiwork, and I was more excited and nervous.

Back near the school, we bought some thick cardboard and cardboard and other things, Liu Yu told me that if this house is done, it can be sold for five or six hundred, and generally his master for this kind of small things sold, how much money can be sold to him, this time I helped to do, Liu Yu said that I can divide half of me, as soon as I heard this, my blood boiled at that time, and I was more motivated, I never thought that this thing could be so profitable, in a few years, my monthly living expenses were only four hundred yuan, I didn't expect that a thing burned for a dead person could be sold for so much money, the two of us bought good things, went straight back to the dormitory, and completely ran the rest of the things to the back of our minds, what kind of ghosts, Japanese ghosts, it was not worth mentioning, I even felt that I could get rich overnight after doing this deal!

Liu Yu said that it was the first time for him to make so many parts, so we discussed a strict division of labor, from drawing drawings to measuring and measuring step by step. Later, when I think about it, it was probably the most careful and serious time I made things, and after that, although the enthusiasm was still there, I always didn't have the same heart as before......

After three days of tossing day and night, a 50 centimeter square, a two-story villa with a garden in front of us is presented in front of us, which is more intimately equipped with small tables and chairs, as well as ultra-luxury LCD TVs...... Liu Yu took the pen under the eaves and neatly wrote down the words of Xu Guanghui's house in block letters, which was the name of the victim's father, and then called to tell the victim that the house had been completed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, it was already dark, Liu Yu and I carefully held the small house, and came to the place where we made an appointment with the victim, a man got out of a black car, wearing fur that seemed to be expensive, looking at the age of about 50 years old, seeing the two of us, he looked at the small house I was holding in my hand, and nodded and said: "Great! This is exactly what I wanted! My father worked hard all his life, I didn't have money when I was young, but now that the business is improving, I can finally let him live in a big house! The son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there......"

Hearing this, I suddenly felt in my heart that some people are only busy with their own affairs when their parents are there, and they have no time to take care of and accompany their parents, and when they are lost, it is too late to do anything.

Liu Yu took out a piece of yellow paper prepared in advance from a big bag, which read: There are descendants of the Xu family, now the ancestor Xu Guanghui, and present a house. Today, I will bow to the Bodhisattva of the King of the Netherworld, the True Monarch of the Difu, the Yama of the Five Palaces, and the Yama of the Ten Palaces, and open the holy door. We sincerely invite the local city gods, land gods, mountain gods, five generals, and Dharma protector gods to escort and transfer them to Fengdu Hades. Deceased ancestors: Collect all evil spirits and evil gods in person, and do not fight for them, and if there are contends, they will be ordered according to the law. The Yellow Table is used as proof. After sending the money, bless the family of the clan with all safety, good luck, good health, prosperous business, and smooth everything. At the bottom, there is also a written tomb of the deceased, and a large red seal is stamped on it, which is printed: The Bodhisattva Seal of the Sect Master of the Netherworld.

He drew a large circle with an opening on the ground, and lit the yellow paper in his hand with a lighter, threw it into the circle, and when the yellow paper was about to burn, the gold ingots in the big bag were put in, and the flames rose slowly, I suddenly felt a cold, looked around, many ghosts came around, I patted Liu Yu, did not speak, Liu Yu understood what I meant, and used a branch to dial some paper ingots outside the circle, those wild ghosts rushed up, Liu Yu said in his mouth: "Xu Guanghui, Xu Guanghui received money......" At this time, I saw an old man standing in the circle, I know, he is Xu Guanghui, he is hunched over, I can't see his face clearly in the light of the fire, Liu Yu took the house from my hand, the owner took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to me very sensibly, and whispered to me: "Little brother, don't be too little!" I'll have to trouble you more in the future! Liu Yu saw that the money had arrived, and threw the small house into the circle, this time the fire burned even more vigorously, and I saw Xu Guanghui standing next to the fire, and he couldn't stop throwing his hand at us. I patted Liu Yu again, and Liu Yu handed the branch to the victim and told him that his father had received it, and told him to rest assured that he could leave when the things were burned.

I had my hands in my pockets and clutched the money tightly, which was a huge amount of money for me at the age of sixteen, and I wondered how a small papier-mâché house could be exchanged for so much money.

Everything was processed, it was already more than eleven o'clock, the victim drove his car away, Liu Yu and I stood on the side of the road, I handed the money to Liu Yu, he clicked on it for just two thousand yuan, neither of us thought that there would be so much! He took out ten, handed them to me, and said, "Take it!" That's when you deserve it! "The tone is tough and can't be refused, maybe I don't want to refuse at all, who doesn't like money? My heart was so happy. At this time, the dormitory was not going back, so the two of us decided to go for a supper first to reward us for working day and night in the past few days, and then go to the Internet café to charter a night.

Later, I asked Liu Yu if he wanted to give him some money, and he told me that his master didn't care about these at all, money was a number for his old man, and he sometimes helped some people deal with things at every turn, and it was a transaction of tens of thousands of dollars, I almost fainted when I heard it, for me, money is money, and what is it like to have so much money that it is only used as a number, this is something I never dared to think about!

The next day was Saturday, I asked Huang Mengying to go shopping, I had money in my pocket to talk about it, and my tone was very relaxed when I asked her, on weekdays, I was always afraid of what to do if I didn't have enough money with me, and I didn't think about it at all this time.

I don't know if it's a matter of age, or a problem of people, now I always go to some large shopping malls when I go out shopping with girls, it seems that men spend money on dinner, and even more so men who don't spend money on women will be said to be stingy, but at that time, most of us went out to pay for each other, and most of the places we went to sell small commodities were places, at that time, a hundred yuan could buy a dress from top to bottom, and now a hundred yuan is in the mall, and even a hair can't be bought.

Let's eat some snacks while strolling, in the words of some girls now, shopping and eating is the happiest thing, Huang Mengying only eats one or two bites of everything, and the rest must be eaten before I can sell the same food, when we pass by a counter selling small jewelry, she stopped, her eyes were attracted by a silver necklace, I seemed to see the little star in her eyes, it was a longing look, the salesman came over, took out the necklace, and said what natural zircon is on it, What else did you say that this necklace is very in line with the temperament of the little beauty, and put the necklace on Huang Mengying's neck and measured it, Huang Mengying looked at the price tag, which said 520 yuan, and then pulled the corner of my clothes and left, I know, she thinks it is too expensive!

As soon as I returned to the dormitory at night, Liu Yu came up with a bear hug, I quickly pushed him away, and pushed him away with a look of disdain and disgust, he said excitedly: "It's done!" Mr. Xu just called me and said that he had a dream last night that his father had moved into a big house, and he was very happy, and said that he could pick him up and live with him in the future! The corners of my mouth twitched and said, "Take him to live with me?" Is that a good thing? Liu Yu hadn't calmed down from the excitement, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hey! I didn't say yes, his father said that when he dies in the future, they can live together! "I'm relieved, huh! That's pretty much it. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a rush? Liu Yu looked at my expression and said, "You say! Did you see his father receive it that day? I nodded, and told him that I didn't see his father that day, and I saw his father thanking us, and I saw other wild ghosts coming to rob the money......

But Liu Yu's joy didn't last long, he was woken up by a basin of cold water, the next night, when we were already asleep, our owner Mr. Xu called and said that he dreamed of his father again just now, and in the dream his father was sawing the door of the house with a saw blade, Mr. Xu was curious and asked him what he was doing? His father told him that the house was wonderful, but there was no bed in it. When Liu Yu finished talking to me, the two of us thought about it, and we didn't seem to make a bed at that time, Liu Yu promised to make a bed for him immediately, plus a sofa combination.

Afterwards, I couldn't help but wonder about the world after death, what kind of existence is it? What happens to the things that the living burn to them, and when they receive them? Can our refrigerator color TV really work over there? Some people will also burn mobile phones and other computers for deceased relatives, and the computer can be connected to the Internet? Who is the phone calling to? With a question mark in my head, I fell asleep again......
