"Let's let me tell you, don't cry, no, everyone is here, and the town will definitely make decisions for you." As he spoke, the man picked up the teacup on the table, thought for a moment, and gently put it back again.

"Oh, let me introduce myself, Ninth Master, and this little brother, I, surnamed Xu, am a small cadre in our town, you can just call me Director Xu. Those two are the residents of our town, and they are also the old couple who are the key support of our township. This time, I invited the two of you to come over, but there was no way, I had heard that Jin Jiuye was a big expert in this area, but it was the first time to officially meet, hehe"

When he said this, the man rubbed his hands and seemed to be very embarrassed, I listened quietly with the ninth master, the ninth master didn't speak, and I didn't speak.

My intuition told me that there seemed to be something unspeakable about this thing. This is also easy to understand, in my impression, although we received a lot of orders, most of them were private jobs, except for a few times to assist the people in the official face, which were all hard tasks that could not get a dime.

As a party member, I know very well the importance of party spirit education, 99 percent of those who can work in state organs are atheists, this Director Xu came to us, no matter how he looks like a victim who spends money to catch ghosts, besides, seeing this guy with a gold wire glasses and an official mouth, I feel that this young cadre with a strong bureaucratic style is a bit unreliable.

Like Lao Yang, this thing is a slippery head of a white wolf with empty gloves. First use interests to lure us over, then throw out the official frame to make the righteousness awe-inspiring, and finally, use the tragic experience of the victim to make us provide gratuitous services again and again, and then make a natural appearance of innocence.

When I think about that kind of thing, I get a little uncomfortable. To be honest, it's not about the money, it's mainly about their lack of respect for us. At this point, my attitude with Jin Jiuye is very consistent, if you don't have money, it doesn't matter, if there is a problem, we can also help you for free, this is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good, it's not a big deal. But if you want to trick us and say that you don't have any money, that's not right, doesn't it make it clear that you are making us stupid!

This kind of thing, not once or twice. As far as I know, Jiu Ye often encountered it before I came, and it was because of this incident that the desperate Jin Jiu Ye hung up the sign of "Shangtong Bi Drinking Yellow Spring to Catch Ghosts and Demons and Eliminate Demons and Eliminate Demons and Demons in Sanmao Zhenjun", which indirectly realized the commercialization of ghost hunting and demon suppression.

We are in business, not charity, which has long been made clear on the business card of the ninth master.

Director Xu saw our worries, and quickly took out an envelope in the drawer of the desk, "Oh, don't get me wrong, I came to you in my private name this time, and I won't take public funds, I won't sign an IOU, and I won't lose a penny in terms of honorarium." ”

"Huh?" Seeing that he was quite sincere, I wondered even more, it seems that this surnamed Xu should be a township cadre who is not too big or small, and he looks at the two old men, and it doesn't seem like he has anything special to do with him. So, what is the reason why a man with a monthly salary of more than 3,000 yuan is willing to generously pay such a sum of money for two old people? You know, if we take a trip, the reserve price is more than 1,000 yuan, is it possible, did we really meet a good person?

"Director Xu, you are serious, the matter of money is easy to say, before I have to ask what it is. I looked at the list and said it was haunted, right? The ninth master said, he didn't go to pick up the money, but took the small black account in my hand. flipped through it, and sure enough, the word "murderous house" was written in the column of the message.

"Yes, the house is haunted!" As soon as he heard this, the old man sitting on the side quickly nodded.

"Oh, then, when did this begin?" When the ninth master heard this, he closed the book and looked at the wrinkled old man again.

"I don't know when and when it started to make trouble, the house I just bought will be like that as soon as I move in," the old man said, grinning and wiping his tears, and then cooperated with his wife to tell us what happened sentence by sentence.

After listening to it for a long time, I figured it out.

It turns out that this old man's surname is Chu, let's call him Uncle Chu. Uncle Chu's son is a veteran who has participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam on the front line before, and has also won a third-class military merit medal, and once upon a time he was also a combat hero admired by everyone.

After demobilization and replacement, the old man and his only son both worked in state-owned enterprises, but later the reform of state-owned enterprises and industrial adjustment, it didn't take long for the two old people to be laid off, and the house leak happened to rain overnight.

In order to cure the disease, the second elder did not hesitate to scrape together and spend all his family property, but even this failed to keep the only bloodline.

To this day, the two homeless old people can only sleep on the street and set up a shack to survive, during the day, Uncle Chu set up a stall to repair the bicycle, and Aunt Chu carried a sack to pick up the rags, however, the meager income still can't support the family, saving money to embarrass themselves, and life is still tight.

When the township government learned of this, they applied for the qualification of a low-income family, and with the special situation of Uncle Chu's son, he could also get a cash subsidy of about 300 yuan per month.

In order to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, the two elderly people who stayed on the street saved 2,000 yuan and used more than 2,000 yuan to buy a house in a remote area.

At that time, the price of land was not as scary as it is today, but even in the countryside, it was impossible to buy a house for 2,000 yuan. Thinking of this, my heart was full of questions, and I touched my chin and suspected that there was something strange here. Sure enough, the old man's words quickly confirmed my conjecture, the first day I lived in that house, there was nothing unusual, the two old men were full of joy, busy working before and after, although they were tired, they finally said goodbye to the days of eating and sleeping in the open.

Who would have thought that it would not be long before the house went wrong. A few days after moving into the house, Uncle Chu got up at night to go to the toilet, and was walking back with his pants up but saw several children running around in the yard. But rubbing his eyes, the children suddenly disappeared again.

Uncle Chu didn't care, thinking that he was hallucinating because of his old eyes. But I didn't take a few steps when I heard the laughter of a few children coming from my ears. Immediately after, his trousers tightened, and when he looked down, he saw that a two- or three-year-old doll who could just run was pulling his pants and giggling at him with a dead face
