"Dad, let's go down and take a look first." I got into the elevator with Thick Ink.

Soon, the elevator opened on the sixth floor, and then, a person came in, standing behind us, and the thick ink explained, and when I met someone coming in from the sixth floor, I didn't care, I rubbed next to the thick ink.

"Little girl, your hair is so long." The voice of a woman in the back made my heart chuckle, and after thinking about it again, I decided not to care.

"Little girl?" Later, still calling me, I glanced up at Thick Ink, and Thick Ink nodded, okay, I continued to ignore it. "Hey, little girl, why don't you pay attention to people, I'm not a bad person." The voice in the back was a little unhappy.

At this time, the elevator opened on the third floor, and another woman came in, she saw the person behind me, and she was very happy, "Xiaomin's mother! Have you returned from a trip outside? "Huh? Is it human? Ouch, I've just offended the neighbors when I came back! I glanced at the ink, what was the matter with the nod just now? I thought I was doing the right thing! Thick Mo raised an eyebrow, indicating that he was innocent.

"I came back yesterday, but I can't stay outside for a long time, no, as soon as I came back, I was thought to be a bad person." The voice in the back was a little ridiculous.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, my cousin's ears aren't very bright, so I didn't hear it, so you can bear with me." Thick ink turned around and explained to me, what does it mean that the ears are not very bright! I want to stun him with a tongue! Always ruin my reputation!

"So that's the case, you help me sue her, the hair is really good!"

"yes, I haven't seen you before? This long hair should be impressive at a glance. Said the woman who had just come in.

"We just moved in." Thick ink said.

"I just moved here, then you have found out, this elevator is on the sixth floor, even if no one will open the door automatically, this is normal, don't worry, it's still very safe."

"Well, it's a novelty, the first floor has arrived." Thick ink said, we walked out of the elevator together, the two women also went out of the building with us, next to the trash can outside, there were two people burning paper in an iron basin, one was an old woman, she was holding a bamboo pole in her hand in the iron basin to pick up paper money, was picked up a large pile of paper money, the wind drilled in, the fire took the opportunity to sweep the paper money into a yellow-red, and the other person was an old man, he did not participate in burning paper money, but was counting the money in his hand, it seemed to be to be put inside. Both of them were squatting, so they couldn't see the expressions on their faces.

Not far from us, a security guard was patrolling, but he turned a blind eye to her actions, and it stands to reason that this community is well managed, how could such a thing be allowed to happen? Besides, today is not the Qingming Winter Solstice, and burning paper doesn't pick a day?

"Sister-in-law, are you here again?" As we passed, a woman greeted her.

"Well, I'm afraid that he is short of money, the price of goods above has risen so fast, what if this is the case below? I'll send it again. The old woman looked up and said, her face covered with sweat, and her exposed arms were already tanned red.

"I've seen you twice this month, is it okay to eat here in the sun?" Another woman asked.

"I'm fine, as long as I can bring him money, I'm happy to think about it." She continued to look through the paper money inside to see if there was anything that had not been burned, and my grandmother told me that if you burn paper money, you must burn it clean, otherwise it will be incomplete when the ghost below receives the money, that is, there will be defects, and the same as above, the money that appears defective cannot be used.

"You're all burned here, let's hurry up, be careful of heat stroke!" Burned out? Doesn't that uncle still have a stack of money in his hand? Wait, why didn't anyone ask the uncle if it was hot? Moreover, the uncle seems to have more money in his hands than before. Why didn't the uncle speak? I don't really have a heat stroke.

"Uncle!" I called out to him. The old woman looked up at me in amazement, as did the other two women, who looked at me a little strangely.

Thick ink grabbed me, "My cousin not only has bad ears...... but the implication is that my brain is not good either! What?

A woman looked at me with regretful eyes, "It's a pity, what a good little girl." ”

"Thick ink!" I pointed at the old man, and the thick ink stopped my hand and warned me with my eyes that I was not allowed to speak.

"Auntie doesn't know what it's called, what uncle!" After he finished speaking, he took me to apologize to the old woman, "Auntie, who are you sending money to?" ”

"Her wife! Let's go first, you guys talk slowly. "Two women left first, wife? Next to her is ...... Ghosts in broad daylight! The thick ink clenched my hand, and our hands were all sweaty and uncomfortable.

"Yes, my old wife, don't you know me? Most of the people here know me. She stood up and patted the ashes on her hands, and was about to pick up the broom next to her and sweep away the black ash that had been blown away by the wind on the ground.

"Auntie, I'll come, you go and sit over there first, and I'll do this." The security guard who was on patrol just now unknowingly ran over and snatched the broom in the old woman's hand, this speed, as if on standby at any time, good security in China! The old woman thanked her, picked up the cloth bag, and went to the small pavilion to rest. And that uncle...... Holding a handful of money, he also stood up and followed.

I broke away from the thick ink hand and shook it a few times in the wind, sticky and greasy, sweating a lot, "Uncle, why is that old woman burning paper here?" I asked the security guard who was sweeping the floor.

"You are the granddaughter of the Lin family who moved back today, your grandmother, come here often, we are all acquainted, I heard that you came back in the past few days, and when I saw you standing here today, I guessed that it was you." He wiped the sweat from his head.

"Yes, hello, this is my cousin." I introduced.

"You just came over, I don't understand the situation, this grandmother, our developer boss has to respect her a few points, and I told her not to offend others, just because when she was making a house a few years ago, her wife came to work at such an old age, and died when filling in the lake. In order to calm things down, I lost a lot of money to let her retire, no, we have to help when we come to burn paper. The security guard said.

"After all, this is a community, no one has an opinion?" It's pitiful to blame without a wife, but fortunately no one drove it away.

"How can there be no opinions, there were opinions at first, but later everyone learned about her situation, so forget it, after all, she is old and stubborn, so she will be left to her, and she has not done anything bad." The security guard sighed.

"You say fill the lake? The lake used to be under the building we lived in? Thick ink asked.

"yes, that's the bottom of it." The security guard replied.

"Do you know how the old man died?" Thick ink asked.

The security guard was embarrassed and said: "I don't know about this, I just heard what people said, I don't know what the specific situation is, what are you asking for?" ”

"Oh, it's just curiosity, I'm old, and I'm still working outside." Thick ink said. "Then let's go chat with the eldest lady, you are busy." The thick ink led me to the small pavilion.

The old woman sat on a stone bench and took out a teacup from the cloth bag, and the old man next to her sat quietly beside her.

"Thick ink, is he the dead uncle?" I asked.

"Well, so others can't see it, Ah Xuan, we have to take care of the feelings of the eldest lady when we talk for a while." Thick ink said.

We walked up to her, and she looked up and smiled, "Why are you here too?" Come, sit! She pointed to the other two stone benches. I secretly glanced at the uncle next to her, his eyes were kind, clean, and he didn't look like a ghost, looking at him, I didn't feel scared at all.

We sat down, and the eldest lady began to speak, "Alas, I don't know how many years I can live, I just think about burning more money for him when I am alive, and when I die, I am afraid that no one will burn money for us." ”

"How so, what about your children and grandchildren?" I asked.

"They, they went out together a few years ago, the whole car fell off the cliff, the police found them along the small pebbles along the way, so many stones, it is the route left by God, not so far as the road is wilderness, alas, it left the two of us as companions, the youngest son is contracted engineering, this salary has not been paid, our pension is almost squeezed dry by the salary, he secretly came out to get the work." She closed the lid of the teacup, "Alas, our family doesn't know what evil has been created, I am the only one left, I really don't want to live, and I also want to follow my wife to be a companion underneath, and donate the rest of the compensation to those hard-working children." But for some reason, since my wife left, my body has become healthier and healthier, and I can't die even if I want to. ”

"Can't die if you want to?" How do you say that? Have you ever committed suicide?

"Yes, I can't die, I've drunk pesticides, I've jumped over the building, I've wanted to die for a hundred, but when I opened my eyes, it was like a dream, and nothing happened." She recalled.

"Are you mistaken?" I asked, my grandmother's memory is declining, and she can't remember many things clearly, or many of them are wearing a crown and a li, and it's not impossible for her to remember wrong.

"No, it won't." The eldest lady shook her head and said, "The pesticides I bought are gone, but I bought them myself, and they are gone!" "That's very strange, I glanced at the thick ink and found that he was staring at the uncle, could it be that the uncle did it? It is not impossible for the uncle to accompany the eldest mother in the form of a ghost like this, and to stop the eldest lady from doing stupid things. "I'm crazy when I want to see him, but I haven't even had a dream since he left, I'm uncomfortable!" She took out a long note from her pocket, "You see, I'm going to go to Baitou Mountain tomorrow and ask the Taoist priest to summon his ghost for me to meet, I miss him so much...... "Baitou Mountain, Taoist priest...... Isn't that where the thick ink comes from? Her sunken eyes are wet, and her eyelids are red, a typical lonely old man, how lonely a life should be alone, I don't know if my grandmother is crying again, I am also so sad.

The thick ink took the note, and I also looked at it, the first line was written with the name, the second line was written with the eight characters of the birthday, and the third line was also a time, I guess it was the time when the uncle died, "Tian Manlu." Thick ink pronounced his name.
