Chapter 21: Dirty Work
On the fourth day after the work, the red hijab of the wine jar turned black, and according to the old man Zuo, the injustice had already been reincarnated by himself and would not come back.
After getting this answer, I was relieved, and the job came to a perfect end.
Since the day I went to reincarnation, I have basically not left the house for the next half a month, except for going out to buy cigarettes, alcohol, and food.
Don't think I'm playing games at home like I used to, it's not that easy at all!
Every day from morning to night, I either read the so-called "Yun Sin Ji", or read the rest of the ancient books recommended by the old man Zuo, and finally I had to follow the instructions of the old man Zuo to review the drowning yang charm.
It's not that I'm not good at learning, it's mainly that there are a few sets every day, and over time, people will get tired of it, right?
"Lao Zuo, can we change some taste?"
At noon that day, I lay on the sofa weakly, looked at the old man Zuo, and said pitifully: "You can teach me a little hard ability, don't ask you to teach me the skill of slaying dragons, as long as you change the taste for me, okay?" ”
"You don't understand, when Leonardo da Vinci was not famous, he still painted eggs every day, that foreign devil has this kind of patience, why are you so unproductive, you want to run before you take a good road, nonsense?" The old man Zuo squinted his eyes, looked at me with disdain and said, "Alas, the old Yuan family has such a No. 1 waste as you, it's really a misfortune for the family."
"yes, yes." I nodded, and then counted with my fingers: "This is the sixth time you have mocked me today, Lao Zuo, if you don't mock me for a day, you won't be comfortable, right?" ”
Seriously, it's not that I don't disrespect him when I call him Lao Zuo, but I despise this old man from the bottom of my heart!
Does he look like that kind old man?! Not at all!! This old man is even more broken than my college counselor!! Can you imagine the kind of ridicule that taunts me from morning to night?!
"I want to take a leave of absence today, you can let me change my mind," I said to him weakly.
At this time, Old Man Zuo's mobile phone rang.
"Wait, I'll answer the phone first."
The old man Zuo glanced at the caller ID on it, didn't say much to me, and connected the phone.
"Got a job?" The old man asked the person on the other side of the phone.
When I heard this, my interest came immediately, and I didn't care if it was a little rude, so I leaned next to the old man Zuo and eavesdropped on the phone.
"Yes, Old Man Zuo, didn't you let me inform you when I had a job?" The person on the other side of the phone laughed, and the voice should have been a young man, definitely no more than thirty years old.
"Where's the work?" Old man Zuo asked, "It's too far away, so I won't go." ”
"Can I keep you running around?" The person on the other side of the phone said: "It's near Fushun, it's not too far from Shenyang, and the employer has to come to pick you up today." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for them, the employer knows my address, right?"
"I've arranged it all, don't worry."
Old man Zuo sighed: "Little blind man, I've really troubled you lately."
"What's the trouble, let's not talk about this nonsense between the two of us." The person on the other side of the phone smiled: "Old man Zuo, this time the work is a little dirty, whether to do it or not, you can make your own decisions when the time comes." ”
After chatting a few words, the old man hung up the phone, looked at me with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything.
"That's the blind boss?" I asked curiously, "Listening to his voice, he seems quite young." ”
"Well, he's quite young." Old man Zuo sighed: "This time the work is different from the original, we may not take it." ”
"What do you mean?" I was stunned.
Old man Zuo's smile was a little bitter, I don't know if he remembered something, when he looked at me, his eyes were very complicated.
"The little blind man said that this work is a little dirty, did you hear that?" The old man on the left asked me.
I hummed and said, I heard.
"In our business, dirty work, to put it bluntly," the old man Zuo paused, did not continue, and gave me an example: "Let's put it this way, if a murderer kills someone, the person who is killed becomes wronged, and wants to seek revenge on him, and then the murderer begged you to save him, this kind of work is called dirty work." ”
I stopped talking.
"There are many Taoist priests in China who have real skills, and 90 percent of the Taoist priests take it as their responsibility to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, no matter what the victim did before his death, according to the rules of the ancestors, they will save him."
Old man Zuo suddenly laughed happily: "But a deviant person like me can't manage so much, Lao Tzu will save people when he is in a good mood, and if he is in a bad mood, I will wait for the murderer to be killed by injustice, and Lao Tzu will go out again."
"We don't take this kind of work." I frowned and said, "Damn, why should we save those miscellaneous people when we kill people to pay off our debts and pay off our debts?" ”
"Worthy of being the grandson of Shao Weng." Old man Zuo laughed: "Your Yuan family is all lazy, but this temper is indeed tougher than the other." ”
"The blind boss knows that this is dirty work and still introduces it to you?" I can't figure it out.
Old man Zuo smiled and didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, there was a knock at the door of the house.
You can hear the knock on the door, and the people outside the door are in a hurry.
"Here we are." The old man Zuo stuffed the potato chips he was holding under the coffee table, patted his clothes, and posed as a fairy: "It should be someone from the employer's family, you go and open the door." ”
I nodded, grabbed my cigarette and opened the door.
There were five people standing outside the door, and there was only one woman, who was about fifty years old.
The rest were young and middle-aged people in their twenties, and judging by their dress, they looked a bit like people from the nearby villages.
"Who are you looking for?" I asked with a frown, thinking of the dirty work that Old Man Zuo explained to me, I felt a little uncomfortable.
The middle-aged woman smiled at me and asked politely, "Does Zuo Dao live here?" ”
"Master, the guests are here!"
I faked a shout, then took two steps back and beckoned them in.
"What's the matter with me?" The old man looked at the guests expressionlessly, and he didn't have a good face.
The middle-aged woman sneered and said, "Daoist Zuo, didn't the blind boss tell you?" Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my son is haunted by ghosts."
Old man Zuo laughed when he heard this, and that smile was very sarcastic.
"Not a big deal?" Old man Zuo sneered and said, "If this is just a trivial matter, you still need to go south to find Mr.?" There are a lot of disciples and Mr. Yin and Yang in our three eastern provinces, and there are not a few Taoist priests, so you fool Lao Tzu as a ghost? ”
To be honest, I didn't expect Old Man Zuo's temper to come up so quickly, and when he spoke, he was called a polite.
The four strong men standing behind the middle-aged woman, as soon as they heard the words of the old man Zuo, their brows immediately furrowed, and one of the young men with a more grumpy temper took a few steps forward, pointed to the nose of the old man Zuo and said, "How do you speak?!! ”
"Put your hands down!" I didn't care if I could beat those four people, so I stood in front of the old man Zuo and glared at the young man: "If you want to find someone to save your life, you have this attitude?!" !! ”
"Pillars! Be kind to the left chief! The middle-aged woman hurriedly came up to play a round game: "Don't take it to heart, Zuo Dao Chief, this child is still young and ignorant!" ”
The old man Zuo just laughed, didn't say anything, lit a cigarette and smoked, and asked her, "What the hell is going on, tell me." ”
"This" The middle-aged woman looked at us without saying anything, and sneered: "It's just that my child is ignorant and caused some trouble outside, and as a result, he was haunted by ghosts."
"You haven't looked for a gentleman?" Old man Zuo suddenly changed the question and did not continue to ask for details.
"Found." The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly: "I found three, two of them were out of the horse, and one was a Taoist priest, but they couldn't save my son."
"How many days has your son been haunted by demons?" Old man Zuo asked.
"Today is the third day." Said the middle-aged woman.
"What are the symptoms?" Old man Zuo took a puff of his cigarette and asked.
The middle-aged woman's expression was a little scared, and there was an unconcealed worry: "I can't see things with my eyes, and my body can't move, and I spit out black things every day."
As soon as he heard this answer, Old Man Zuo immediately frowned.
"It's not like ordinary injustices can be done, as far as your son's symptoms are concerned, he is not haunted by demons, but he has been defiled." Old man Zuo said.
When I heard the word "evil", I was a little surprised.
"Same as me?" I asked.
"It's about the same overall, but it's worse than yours." Old man Zuo smiled gloatingly: "Do you know what it means to spit out filth every day?" ”
I shook my head.
"This means that the evil in his body has reached a level that is difficult to suppress, but it stands to reason that this kind of person can't live even a minute, how can he still live until now" Old man Zuo frowned, a little puzzled.
"Left Left Chief! You can save my son!! The middle-aged woman was so anxious that she cried, wiped her tears and scolded: "This must be that doing something wrong!" My son is so young!! He doesn't deserve to die!! ”
"Tell me the reason for this, including what your son did, I can't tell you clearly, I can't save people." Old man Zuo squinted his eyes slightly and said.
The middle-aged woman hesitated, sighed, and still said this "dirty thing".
It's true.
It was after listening to this story that I realized that the real world is more complicated than I imagined.
Human life is indeed frightening in the eyes of some people.
