Chapter 22 Money for Money
Out of Secretary Chen's community, I found a relatively large supermarket that sold casual clothes, and I squatted at the door for more than an hour before waiting for someone to open the door. I bought a cheap toothbrush, a travel toothpaste, a small bundle of needles and threads, and a white T-shirt, and I dressed nondescript and went to work.
Luckily, my suit is iron-free, otherwise I would have been too embarrassed today.
When I arrived at the unit, several police cars were parked under the building, and many people gathered, saying everything, and the theme was that I heard that it was haunted last night. I saw Da Kui and Xu Dangqin gesturing with the police in front, and I didn't know what to say, but their actions reminded me of the ** spell that the female ghost cast on us last night, inexplicably a spirit.
Suddenly, the old monk Jinghai came out of nowhere like a big mouse, which startled me a lot. When he came out, he came and gave me a bear hug, saying that he thought he would never see me again.
I said you're fucking funny, just throw me down and run away. The monk Jinghai came and said that there was no problem, and they all went back to look for it, but they just didn't see me and Secretary Chen. I guess you didn't go to the 20th floor again.
After a while, I also met the deputy captain and Xu Shaoyang, and we ran upstairs and downstairs several times to identify the scene, and later went to the police station to make a record, after all, the deputy captain had fired.
That's it, after a whole morning, I didn't find out the fart, but looking back, it's strange to find out anything. Xu Dangqin and Da Kui also took the police to see the surveillance video of the building, wanting to show that we were not lying, but the outcropping spirit ghost in the video didn't know where to go, and even my ghost was gone.
In the end, the incident was characterized as several fox friends laughing and playing in the corridor of the building in the middle of the night, and Liu Baoquan, the deputy captain of the criminal police, fired his gun, but did not hurt anyone.
The final solution was for the vice-captain to pay someone a piece of glass.
By noon, I was so tired, I hadn't rested much last night, and my head had broken several times, so I leaned against a corner of the office and squinted.
The lunch break is the most noisy time in the unit, because there are many colleagues in the room who are playing poker, and the shouts such as "pair three", "double king", and "fifty K" are simply resounding in the sky, which annoys me enough. So I opened my eyes and saw which grandson was so happy. It's good to open your eyes this time, why are there so many people in the room?
I saw 8 colleagues playing poker together, 6 ghosts standing next to them, some with arms on the shoulders of the standing colleagues, some squatting next to the sitting colleagues, as if playing poker together, and one of the ghosts sitting on the table and playing cards there.
I bowed my head, okay, I was still naked.
I saw the old monk Jinghai lying on his own lattice with a pig's head, and he was also asleep, as if he would not be noisy at all, and Bai Wuchang was holding a set of neat gray shrouds in his hand, leaning on the chair of the old monk Jinghai with a smile.
The most interesting thing is that there is also a middle-aged man with a bare buttocks, pacing back and forth in the room, his eyes looking at the clothes in Bai Wuchang's hand with resentment, but he doesn't dare to approach.
It is estimated that this is another dead ghost who was robbed of his clothes by Bai Wuchang, and he was very irritable, so every few times he walked, he would press the fingerprint machine placed in front of the window. I don't know how this fingerprint machine sensed this dead ghost, he pressed it and it sounded, as if someone really pressed the fingerprint.
The fingerprint machine always rang to annoy a fat man playing poker, so he went over and pulled out the power of the fingerprint machine, and the angry dead ghost gestured behind the fat man, and slapped the fat man's neck fiercely. I don't know if the fat man felt something, but he scratched the back of his neck after the dead ghost slapped him.
I walked over and took the clothes from Bai Wuchang's hand and put them on my body, and the dead ghost turned to glare at me viciously. I don't pay attention to him, I know that he won't make a mistake with my eldest brother here.
Bai Wuchang put his arm around my shoulder, probably wanting to go to a quiet, less crowded place to say something, but the dead ghost actually wanted to follow. Bai Wuchang turned his head and turned out his white ghost eyes and glared at him fiercely, he lowered his head in fright, and ran to the fat man's side to watch him play poker.
Walking to a secluded corner of the office building, I asked, "Big brother, why are you always erratic and like a ghost?"
"I am".
"Ahem," I coughed dryly. "When I didn't say it. I mean you always come and go all of a sudden, and you always make me unprepared and scared me out of nowhere."
Bai Wuchang smiled, "It's not a fuss, it's good to get used to it." By the way, I especially want to know why when I first met you, those two door gods were obedient to you, but the last time I went out with you and met again, why did you coax you, and let people beat you like that."
I frowned and said: "I don't know, I used to beat those two door gods one after another, and it felt similar to beating kindergarten children, who knew that this time, those two people were like robots, harder than stones, and their strength was greater than mine, I don't know how much."
"It's weird. Alas, if you can't do anything about those two door gods, then things will be difficult to do?"
"How"?
"I can't recover my life, and the underworld will punish my sins, alas, ......", Bai Wuchang sighed.
"Oh, big brother, what's so worrying about this", I comforted, "Isn't it just a door god, although my soul state can't help him, but you tell me the place, I'll help you tear him up, won't it be over, if I go when I'm alive, it's not just two pieces of paper."
"That's right", Bai Wuchang was pleasantly surprised, "Why didn't I think of it", said as his big tongue fell out.
"Huh......", I disgusted, "Quickly take it back, I don't think it is applicable." Tell me the address."
"5 buildings in Lihong Villa District, Changping, Beijing".
"Beijing", I'm not.
"What's the matter, Brother Xian, are there any difficulties?" Bai Wuchang asked.
"Big brother, you think I'm you, go wherever you want. Why don't I ask for money here, if you want me to go to Beijing, the round-trip fare will be 1,000 less, not counting food, accommodation and missed work. I don't have any money."
Bai Wuchang smiled, "This is easy to do, won't it be over if I report it to you?"
"Damn, what are you, you let me spend the stygian coin?" I was surprised.
"You're stupid to me"?
"I don't think you're sharp," I sarcastically said.
"Alas...... Virtuous brother", Bai Wuchang said angrily, "How can you talk to your eldest brother like this." I mean, I can bribe the God of Wealth, and let him make up some money for you."
"Big brother, you make trouble, pay back the God of Wealth, does the God of Wealth need you to bribe, don't people just send money, and they still send you a few." I despise it.
"Brother Xian, you don't understand this, the God of Wealth can give you money to the living, but you can't give yourself money."
"Why", I wondered.
"Oh, thanks to you for being in the society for so many years, you really lived in vain", he even sarcastically mocked me.
"Less nonsense, talk faster".
"Brother Xian, don't you know, you have a yamen called the Civil Affairs Bureau, do you know?"
"Yes".
"This Civil Affairs Bureau has a function called poverty alleviation, you know. Think about it, if the money for poverty alleviation is 10 taels of silver, and the yamen requires each poor household to issue at least 1 tael of silver, but there are 20 poor households, what should I do? Only 10 households can be paid. So, at this time, if you don't give people some benefits, why can one of the 10 places fall on your head? Bai Wuchang explained.
When I heard it, I seemed to be enlightened, "Big brother, are you saying that this God of Wealth has similar functions to the Civil Affairs Bureau"?
"Is it quite similar, or is it the problem of 10 taels of silver and 20 poor households, should the 10 poorest ones be picked in legal theory? But as long as you can take out a part of your income to honor the uncle, and this uncle dares to accept it and can do it for you, then the law is a fart."
"Oh, I probably understand, but there is a difference between the God of Wealth and the Civil Affairs Bureau, can the God of Wealth himself be poor?" I wondered.
"Of course, the God of Wealth is not bad for money, but he doesn't print money, and his money is also given by others."
"Huh?" I was shocked.
"There's nothing to wonder about, the income of the Yin Division comes from the offerings of the living, and if you don't worship, you have no money. The God of Wealth gives money to the living, and that is the blessing of the living. Don't believe in the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant. Cause and effect exist, but retribution is not necessarily. You have the blessing of getting rich, but this blessing is not necessarily for you."
"Damn, what does that mean"?
"After talking for a long time, you still don't understand, I told you everything. As long as you know that if you give money to the God of Wealth, he will be able to give you money, and that's it", Bai Wuchang said helplessly.
"Oh, if that's the case, big brother, you can ask the God of Wealth to give me an advance on the fare, so I can help you get things done", I said excitedly.
"I don't have any money," Bai Wuchang said stupidly.
"Damn, then what you said for a long time is really in vain, you can't bribe, can I? Could it be that you will let me buy a high-definition picture of the God of Wealth and go back to worship now, is it too late?"
"Hey-that's not necessary", Bai Wuchang took my complaint seriously again, "You can give me money, and I'll give it to him again, so it's over."
"How can I give? I'll give you RMB, you give it to him again, and then he will let me double the RMB"?
"You stupid, your money is waste paper to me, oh, probably waste paper to you. You have to burn the money to me, I want Yin coins, that is, dark coins, and I can do things with this."
"Don't say it sooner", I waved my hand, turned around and left, "I'll lend you money to buy paper to burn now".
"Alas, alas", Bai Wuchang hurriedly stopped me, "You always say that I am in a hurry, you are more anxious than me, I can't receive it if you burn it for me now, I have to go and talk to Tongyi first, make an appointment, and you will burn it for me again."
"Redemption"?
"Oh, it's your living bank, we call it exchange. In this way, you go and prepare first, and I'll do the math", as he spoke, Bai Wuchang began to wave his fingers, "I need 30 catties of yellow table paper, enough scales." Just put it together and hammer it with a copper coin, you don't have to knock each one at the same time. Then you can burn it for me, and remember to call my name to collect the money when you burn it."
"Okay, then you can go and talk to your exchange first. Let's make an appointment, don't come to me all the time, I don't want to die early."
"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, at night, just burn it to me at the intersection of Happiness Road."
"Okay". After speaking, I went back to the house with Bai Wuchang, and when I saw that these 15 people were playing hotly, 8 living people were roaring, and 7 dead ghosts were pointing at them, and they were very happy.
Suddenly, I saw the old monk Jinghai jump up high and shout: "Little girl, don't go"!
I woke up suddenly, still sitting on the chair in the corner of the wall and maintaining a sleeping position, the room was silent, and the eight people playing poker all looked at the old monk Jinghai motionless, and he was inexplicable. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud laugh, and the confused old monk Jinghai scratched his head and smirked.
What kind of dream is this, even a dream is so clear and direct.
