Sister Xue saw that I agreed happily, so she might as well say the ugly words to the front: "Little brother, I won't tell you this, that room is cheap, but it is really evil, and none of the people who live in it will end well." ”

"That's what they did, I'm not afraid, that's it," I said categorically.

Sister Xue saw that I was happy, and she said unequivocally: "Little brother, since you are a cheerful person, I don't embarrass you, people pay attention to renting a house with three mortgages and one (rent is paid every three months, and one month's rent is charged), here, I don't want you to deposit anything, you can pay a month's rent in advance." If you really can't get used to it, then quit quickly, the eldest sister is not the kind of unreasonable person, you will be counted as many days as you rent, and the excess will be refunded to you. ”

Seeing Sister Xue say this, I was also very happy, and hurriedly paid 200 yuan to her and said, "Okay, just do what you want!" ”

After the matter of renting a house was settled, I was also in a good mood. made a phone call to Lao Fei, a classmate and brother, and invited him to have dinner together. Of course, under the guise of eating, it is the right thing to ask him to come over and help clean up the house together.

Lao Fei is Yu Haibo's nickname, although there is a word "fat" in the nickname, but it has nothing to do with that kind of obesity, it is related to his family background, his father works in the tax bureau, and his mother works in the Finance Bureau, these two units are the fattest departments in the administrative department, and his family is good, so we love to call him "Lao Fei". But unfortunately, Lao Fei's parents were both killed in a car accident. Since then, Lao Fei has been completely insulated from the tax and finance. Fortunately, Lao Fei's parents were very popular before their deaths, and after this incident, the unit leaders of Lao Fei's parents arranged an errand for Lao Fei, who had just graduated, as a "tax collector".

When Lao Fei heard that I was going to invite him to dinner, he was very happy. Be punctual and make my promise. The two of us found a random restaurant, prepared two dishes, asked for a few bottles of beer, and began to eat.

Lao Fei and my brother have known me best for many years, and when they were making the first beer with me, they said, "Brother, can you ask me for help if you have something?" ”

For Lao Fei, I don't have to hide it, I bluntly told him about renting a house, and added: "After eating, help me clean up the room together." ”

Lao Fei heard that I had rented a murderous house with a dead person, and asked with some anxiety in his heart: "Brother, I am not vague about helping with this, but you dare to live in this dead house?" ”

"What's not to dare to do? What kind of ghost is a big man afraid of? I said as I sipped my beer.

Since Lao Fei killed his parents, he is the most sensitive to this set of gods and ghosts. His intuition was inappropriate, and he persuaded me again and again: "Brother, don't find your own guilt for the sake of greed. ”

Old fat man. Everything is fine, but I am too superstitious, I frowned and said: "Old fat, don't persuade me about this, eat quickly, and help after eating." What age is this, and I'm still suspicious all day long."

The old fat saw that I was firm. Then there was nothing to say, but in the end he added: "I respect you, you respect me, and there is no hurry to clean up the house." After eating, let's go to the temple to burn incense and ask for a lot. When you're done, come and clean up your house. ”

I know that it is also for my good for Lao Fei to be so careful. After graduating from college, I didn't do anything well, and when I saw Lao Fei's suggestion, I nodded and said, "Okay." It's okay to burn incense and ask for a lot. It's really not going well lately, ask the Buddha. How do I solve it. ”

After the two of us finished eating, Lao Fei drove Ma Liu, which his parents had left, and took me to a nearby temple. As soon as I entered the door of the temple, I saw an old man who was measuring words and grabbed me. "Donor, before entering the temple gate, how about testing a word first?"

I looked up and saw the old man, his face was obscene and haggard, and his clothes were shabby. I can't help but feel contempt. So I said angrily, "I don't believe this." After speaking, I was about to go to the temple gate, but before my feet stepped into the temple gate, the old man said: "You must be sincere when you see the Buddha." I turned my head to the old man and said, "I don't believe in Buddhism or not." ”

"Ask for Buddha only when you have something, it's too late!" The old man said calmly:

The old fat on the side was a little overwhelmed, and said to the old man who measured the word: "Hey, old man, we came to ask God to worship the Buddha, we have our own opinions, so you will be asked to talk nonsense?" ”

The old man closed his eyes and did not answer. Lao Fei and I saw that he no longer talked nonsense, so we stopped paying attention to him, and walked straight to the temple gate, but unfortunately the old man seemed to be interested in fighting against the two of us, and when he saw us going to the temple, he chattered to the gods over there: "It's useless to ask for Buddha about ghosts." ”

As soon as he said this, Lao Fei and I were shocked, "Okay! This old man is a bit of a Taoist, and he knows that we have come to ask the Buddha for the sake of ghosts. ”

Lao Fei couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and asked the old man who measured the word: "Do you really have the ability to test a hexagram for us?" ”

"The hexagram is not accurate, it is the solution. What's the use of me telling you all about your past? It is better to see the future and prevent the future. The old man said:

"Makes sense." As soon as the old man said these words, I couldn't help but sigh: "Please, how much does it cost?" ”

"Hexagrams are sent to destined people, and they don't take a penny." The old man said:

I looked at Lao Fei with each other, it seems that I met a master today, look at the conversation of this old man, it shouldn't look like a charlatan. Lao Fei glanced at me, I understood in my heart, Lao Fei's meaning is that he will first throw bricks and lead jade, to test whether this old man has real skills.

I saw Lao Fei say to the old man who measured the word: "Then I'll test a word for you." ”

The old man shook his head, stretched out his palm and said to Lao Fei: "The old man doesn't dare to get an axe in front of the Buddha, let's change the ground." ”

Lao Fei and I looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the temple, nodded one after another, and agreed to the request of the old man who measured the word.

The three of us found a secluded spot and sat down. As soon as he sat down, Lao Fei impatiently said to the old man who measured the word: "My word is" Before Lao Fei could say it, the old man stopped him again and again: "Donor, use it." ”

"Do you have to write it? Can't you name one? Old Fat asked.

"Words are like people." The old man said concisely.

The old fat was helpless, took the pen and ink handed by the old man of the word measurement, leaned on the stone pier, wrote the word "fat" crookedly, and then handed it to the old man of the word measurement and said: "Master, can you help me see what this word means?" ”

"No father and no mother." The old man only said four words, but it made Lao Fei and I feel shocked.

The old fat still said in disbelief: "Master, this is what you guessed, right?" ”

"This is still used to guess, the word of the month is even a pen, written like 'mother', but it's a pity that the word of the month is not closed, there is a mother who does not die well, and the word Ba has no father, do you need to understand more?" The old man said.
