Chapter 31 Warning
Ah Fei nodded and stood up from his chair. He leaned over to untie the ropes on Xue Qian and Xiaozhou, pointed to the two large stacks of burning paper behind the chair, and said, "You two, hold these gold and silver, come out with me." β
I sat down in my chair and asked blankly, "What about me?" β
Ah Fei said lightly: "Wait a while, my mother has something to tell you." β
Then the three of them lined up and walked into the courtyard. Ah Fei closed the door with his hand.
I looked at a corpse and a paper figure next to me. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva: "Have something to tell me?" Am I going to see hell again? β
The voices of Ah Fei and Xue Qian came from outside the courtyard, they were probably burning paper, and while burning, they shouted loudly: "Lord Ghost, please put away the gold and silver." Oni-sama, gold and silver ......"
I don't know if the three of them were frozen or scared, but in short, their voices trembled for a while. I sat in the room and my scalp tingled when I listened.
After a few seconds, I heard a vague breathing sound next to me. I felt like my head was going to explode. I moved my neck slowly, following the prestige. I saw the paper figure, which was rising and falling slightly, as if it was breathing.
I thought to myself, "Instead of being scared here, it's better to face it bravely and bite the bullet." β
So I coughed softly and asked in a low voice, "Old lady, is that you?" β
I heard the direction of the paper man, and an old woman's voice said, "It's me." β
Subsequently, the paper figure moved. It spun its neck around. At this time, I realized that there was a face on the back of the paper man's head, and this face was clearly Chen Xiaomei's.
Chen Xiaomei looked at me with a smile on her face and did not speak.
I tried my best to calm my chaotic state of mind and asked, "What's going on today?" Why did your soul move from the physical body to the paper figure? β
Chen Xiaomei's face was indifferent, like a monk who had seen through life and death: "Lord Ghost wants you to send thirty treasury of gold and silver." There is no other way to do this but with my soul. With so much gold and silver cast, my soul has little weight, and it will be scattered at the touch of it. I don't have the ability to go back to my original body, and besides, I'm already a dead man, and I can't stay in this body forever. So I arranged this paper figure to be a stand-in. β
After Chen Xiaomei said this, she looked at me gratefully: "Our family's Ah Fei can cure the disease, you have helped a lot, you are simply a great benefactor of our family." β
I sighed: "I just went with the flow and did some small things, which are really far worse than you." β
Chen Xiaomei smiled and said, "I have lived for so many years, and my greatest wish is that my son's illness can be cured. In the first two years, I already felt that my body was not boneless. Once I die, Ah Fei is stupid and can't live at all. So when I saw Xiaozhou, I simply died, so that he could feel guilty and take care of Ah Fei for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, after I died, I knew the truth of that year. I got to know a lot of lonely ghosts, and they told me that the reason why Ah Fei became like this was entirely because Xiaozhou stole the things of the ghost lord. That's why I found you, please help me. β
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know I'll help you?" β
Chen Xiaomei laughed: "Because you are the owner of the empty house." It stands to reason that if a ghost does not have a great grievance, he cannot haunt people at will, and even if he entangles people, it will violate the way of heaven and will be punished in the future. But the owners of the empty houses are different. They are specifically designed to hook up with people and ghosts. Hehe, these are the wild ghosts that sΓΉ me sΓΉ. β
When I heard this, I couldn't help but cry out in secret. It seems that this empty house is really a big trap.
Chen Xiaomei looked at the closed door, and suddenly lowered her voice: "I left you alone, do you know why?" β
I was nervous by her appearance and quickly shook my head.
Chen Xiaomei was silent for two seconds, and then asked, "How long have you and your friend surnamed Xue known each other?" β
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Xue Qian? We were college classmates. So far, I guess I've known each other for five years. What's wrong? β
Chen Xiaomei nodded, looking very hesitant: "It's been five years, five years." That's an old friend. β
I said, "yes, old friend." β
Chen Xiaomei looked at me deeply and said, "Young man, old friend, you may not be trustworthy. Just like our family Ah Fei, and Xiaozhou have played since childhood, what is the result? What did our family Ah Fei do? Even if he could make excuses, he wouldn't remember. And what about his parents? Why don't you tell him the truth and let him come back to atone for his sins? β
The more Chen Xiaomei spoke, the more excited she became, and later, I even felt a cold aura emanating from the paper figure.
I waited for Chen Xiaomei's feelings to calm down, and then I asked a little uneasily: "Old lady, I always feel that you have something to say, what do you want to say?" β
Chen Xiaomei whispered: "That friend of yours, you have to pay attention." His origin, I'm afraid, is a bit unusual. I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, and I'm not qualified to provoke this. But for the sake of you being our family's great benefactor, I took the risk of reminding you. β
When I heard this, I was relieved. I smiled and said, "I know that Xue Qian's family once offended the ghost yin woman, and he has been haunted by ghosts since he was a child. But now it's fine. He's safe. β
Chen Xiaomei moved her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, she sighed and said: "Everyone has their own fate, and it doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing." In short, you are careful. β
I heard her vague and was about to ask again. At this time, the voices of Ah Fei and several people outside stopped.
I heard Ah Fei cough loudly twice, and then said loudly: "Lord Ghost, thirty treasury of gold and silver, you have taken it." β
Then, there was a sound of footsteps, and he walked into the door of the house. Ah Fei knocked on the door and asked softly, "How is it?" β
Chen Xiaomei said miserably: "Come in." β
Subsequently, Ah Fei came in with Xue Qian and Xiaozhou. I saw that both of them were pale, and they were obviously frightened.
After all, Xue Qian and I have seen ghosts a few times together, so it looks fine. And the boat couldn't stand at all. His back was against the wall, and he sat limply on the floor.
Chen Xiaomei stared at him and sneered: "Xiaozhou." You hurt our family Ah Fei has suffered for so many years, what do you say? β
Xiaozhou slumped on the ground, and said resignedly: "I'll compensate, I'll pay him all my money, how about it?" β
Chen Xiaomei sneered: "After more than ten years, how much can I buy?" β
Xiao Zhou was speechless.
Chen Xiaomei sighed: "My son has also grown up." I don't want to worry about your young people's affairs anymore, so you can solve it yourself. My time is almost up, and it's time to go. Ah Fei, I can't take care of you anymore in the future. β
Ah Fei slowly knelt on the ground, two lines of tears flowing from his rough face.
I suddenly sympathized with Chen Xiaomei. After more than ten years, there is no way to communicate with my stupid son. Finally, the son who was waiting for him was cured, but he was different.
Ah Fei kowtowed heavily on the ground. Suddenly, the paper figure itself burst into flames. Chen Xiaomei's sigh echoed in the room, and gradually, this voice could not be heard.
Xue Qian asked me in a low voice, "Old Zhao." Where has this old woman gone? β
I shook my head and said, "I don't know where I've gone, maybe I'm reincarnated." β
Ah Fei stood up and looked at the boat. Xiaozhou sat on the ground and took two steps back in fear. Ah Fei frowned and pushed him up for a while. I'm really worried that these two guys will fight.
However, Ah Fei stretched out his hand and said, "Stand up." With me, bury my mother. β
Xiaozhou was overjoyed: "You don't hate me anymore?" β
Ah Fei's expression was very strict, but his tone softened: "You haven't come back all these years, I really hate you." But you were so frightened that you didn't remember it, and it's understandable. You were able to take the initiative to return the snuffbox last night. It's kind of worthy of me. I don't bother with you anymore. β
Xue Qian and I stood aside, and saw Xiaozhou and Ah Fei busy cleaning up Chen Xiaomei's body and burning the remaining paper figures. They couldn't help but smile at each other, gently opened the door, and left their house.
