Serious barely squeezed out a smile, "Ma Dong asked me for help, and my colleagues were embarrassed not to help." ”

Listening to this means throwing the reason at me, how embarrassed I am not to accept it. "Seriousness is my friend, can I still break the law by asking him for help?"

Ouyang Ze didn't expect me to be so thick-skinned, and paused, "Don't break the law, I've already asked for leave of absence, I'm here as your friend, and you're here on behalf of the boss, you'd better fulfill your responsibilities." "Ouyang Ze left me and went to receive other guests.

Just as Ouyang Ze said, many people came one after another, including workers, bosses, business executives, people from all walks of life, men and women, and people of all ages. When I came, I was glamorous, and after I got here, I changed into filial piety clothes like me.

My strange group of 'brothers and sisters' knew each other well, and I seemed isolated when I stayed with them.

According to local customs, the old lady has to stay at home for three days, and during these three days, someone will go to the cliff to find a fixed point to fix the coffin.

On the first night, I was arranged on the first day of the wake, and I heard that it was divided according to the status of this group of people, and the most important people were in the first wave, and I represented the boss in the first wave, and there were a total of five people with me.

The night was long, and several people were brothers who had not seen each other for many years, so naturally there were many words, so I just stood aside and listened to their conversation. Add the oil of the ever-bright lamp, burn the paper or something.

A few people talked for a long time, and I don't know who pulled the conversation on me.

"Why didn't the Boss come today?" The man who spoke was a migrant worker-like man, with calluses on his hands superimposed, and he looked like he had the strength to do it.

The boss in a suit under the filial piety robe on the side echoed, "Yes, why didn't the boss come?" He really cares about the old lady, and I really haven't seen him today? ”

"The boss didn't come, but someone came in place of the boss. To introduce, this kid's name is Ma Dong. Ouyang Ze introduced me and said.

The migrant worker looked at me, "I said, if the boss doesn't come, send a hairy boy to come and scare us?" The old lady is dead, and at least she shows up. ”

I didn't have the qualifications to interject, I sat aside and listened quietly, Ouyang Ze turned the gun like an evil man and stood on my side, "Don't you know who the boss is?" Just the boss's heart for the old lady, if nothing big happens, will they not come? ”

The boss muttered a few words to himself, and glanced at me from time to time, "Ouyang, why do I look at this kid with a little look." ”

"Familiar? You're a big boss and everyone looks familiar. Ouyang Ze interrupted the boss's train of thought.

The boss shook his mouth twice and shook his head, "When the boss kid first came to the welfare home, he wasn't"

Ouyang Ze directly interrupted the latter words, "You see the difference, how many years have you been dead, Ma Dong is much happier than us, my parents are alive, I just need a daughter-in-law, if you are really interested, find a daughter-in-law for our little brother." ”

The boss nodded, "Yes, we saw him buried with our own eyes." After speaking, he looked at me, "This kid is okay, the people who can make the boss take a fancy are talents." ”

I scratched the back of my head stupidly, "Mengcheng boss loves." "Which one they said, Lao Tzu didn't understand a word.

At this time, Zhang Manting, who had been helping to cook in the back, ran over and sat down next to me, "Ma Dong, are you hungry?" ”

In front of so many big men, I kind of wanted to find a hole to get into, "I'm not hungry, it's so late, you go to sleep." ”

"No, can't I keep a vigil with me?" Zhang Manting came to my side delicately.

I smiled helplessly at a few filial sons who were watching the excitement, and pulled Zhang Manting to the side.

"You don't look at what kind of occasion this is, you are a woman, and you have nothing to do with the dead, what kind of spirit do you keep." I don't feel good.

Zhang Manting saw that I was angry, and flattened her mouth, "If you don't keep the spirit, you won't keep the spirit, then I'll go to sleep." ”

I waved my hand and motioned for her to go to bed. Then I went back to the mourning hall alone to keep a vigil.

Back in the mourning hall, several people chatted with Ouyang Ze as the center. The doubts in my heart have deepened, and I am even more suspicious of what the relationship between Ouyang Ze and the boss is, why did he defend me just now, hey, who is the person in their mouths, and what does it have to do with the boss?

Listening to a few of their gossip, although I couldn't interject, I didn't seem panicked.

In the early hours of the morning, the cooks and helpers went back to their respective homes, and there were a few of us pseudo-filial sons and a group of playful children left in the entire mourning hall. Because the deceased is the greatest, no one says the rights and wrongs of the boss in the mourning hall, and the night is long, so I can only amuse the children for fun.

In the middle of playing, a child pulled the corner of my coat and pointed to the coffin. "Uncle, why is grandma looking at me and we can't come?"

This sentence was said in the mourning hall, which really scared a few of us. In the direction the child pointed, there were only a coffin and a boy and a girl tied with paper.

In order to break the embarrassing fear, I stood up and walked to the coffin, lifted the lantern that had become smaller, squatted down, burned some paper money for the old lady, and muttered, "Old lady, you are also happy and mourning, don't scare the child." ”

After burning the paper, I faintly heard the sound of talking, the sound was far away, but it did exist, and the other filial sons who guarded the spirit chatted about it, as if they didn't hear it. In order not to make them afraid, I didn't say anything. Walked around the mourning hall, all of them were some Qianfan, Heaven and Earth Bank, Jiulian Lantern and other funeral paper products, whirring by the wind, I estimated that the faint sound of talking was the sound of the wind blowing things.

Back to the mourning hall, I have been busy for a day today, I can't stand it when I see so many people, and I plan to squint for a while.

I don't know how long it took, "Young man, do you listen to the play?" "An old lady's voice sounded at the door, and I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or not. The surrounding environment has not changed, and there is still an old lady's red coffin on the mourning hall, and a papier-mâché childhood virgin stands next to the coffin collar. It's just that everyone is asleep, only I am awake.

I looked up at the door, where a wrinkled old lady sat in the doorway, waving at me and beckoning me over.

"Grandma, you're a friend of this old lady, why don't you come in." I asked politely.

The old lady didn't answer me, "If you don't go to the play, then I'll go." ”

I wanted to get up and chase it out, but I felt a pain in my back, my brain was buzzing, and I came back to reality from my dream. Ouyang Ze slapped me and called out. "When are you still sleeping, if I hadn't found out that you were sleeping, you would still want to sleep until dawn."

I couldn't have a seizure in front of the old lady's mourning hall, and I murmured, "I just had a dream, and an old lady asked me to go to the play." I spoke in a low voice.

Ouyang Ze looked at the coffin, was stunned for a long time, moved his mouth, and stopped talking. "Don't talk nonsense, you can take the things in your dreams seriously, keep a good watch, don't be distracted."

I didn't say anything more.

Time passed little by little, until the middle of the night, when I vaguely felt something approaching us from the ridge, and I interrupted the small talk of several people and told them what I had found, and several of them agreed that I had a nervous breakdown.

"Ah, help." Wei Xiaoxiao's screams came from the wooden building behind him.

Ouyang Ze and I ran into the wooden building when we heard the sound, and entered Wei Xiaoxiao and Zhang Manting's room, Wei Xiaoxiao shrank in the corner and trembled with fright, and when he saw me coming in, he hugged me and cried and shouted.

"Ma Dong, there are ghosts, I see ghosts." Wei Xiaoxiao trembled uncontrollably in my arms.

I patted Wei Xiaoxiao comfortingly, "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid." ”

At this moment, Wei Xiaoxiao's scream again, because the last time I came out of the tomb, my ear was left with a disease, and Wei Xiaoxiao's scream made my ears tinnitus for a short time.

"There's a ghost, I see it again, just outside the window." Wei Xiaoxiao shouted in a torn voice.

Ouyang Ze heard the sound and rushed out of the house.

I pushed away Wei Xiaoxiao, who was trembling with fright, and said in a responsible tone as much as possible, "It's okay, I'm here." Why are you the only one in the house? What about Zhang Manting? ”

Wei Xiaoxiao shook her head while crying, "I don't know, I heard movement in the house, I turned on the light and saw a person walking around the house in a daze, I thought it was Zhang Manting, I asked her if he was silent, I rubbed my eyes, and saw that the person in the room was not Zhang Manting, and that person had a bloody face, long hair, and was wet." The more Wei Xiaoxiao spoke, the more scared she became. I turned my head to look at the house, and it was really wet.

At this time, Niu Pang and Zheng Zheng also rushed over, I handed Wei Xiaoxiao to Niu Pang, and told the two of them to find a place with a lot of people to stay, and I pulled Zheng out to chase ghosts and Ouyang Ze, I didn't trust Ouyang Ze from the bottom.

We were joined by local villagers, and there was a place around the wooden building where there were blood stains on the blades of grass, and there was a trace of something wandering by, and we immediately followed the blood stains to trace the past.

After walking for about 20 minutes, a river blocked our way, and on the other side of the river lay a man wearing filial piety clothes. Wet, it looks like he has just swam out of the river.

"Isn't that Ouyang Ze?" Seriousness sounded.

Several people who traveled with him wanted to go over to save Ouyang Ze, but they were stopped by the locals, "This river is very deep, and we locals don't dare to swim across this river at night." ”

"Then we don't care about our people?" Asked seriously.

Several villagers ran away from the crowd, and after a while, several people carried a wooden boat over, put it on the river, rowed across the opposite bank, and pulled Ouyang Ze back.

Seeing this, even if there is a big hatred, I can't let him go and go to help. Ouyang Ze was covered in water, his eyes were closed, and I deliberately slapped him twice to make sure it wasn't pretending.

When I was at a loss, an old man came up to us, the one who blocked my sunlight. The old man rolled Ouyang Ze's eyelids and pinched Ouyang Ze's mouth, to the surprise of everyone present, Ouyang Ze's mouth was stuffed with a sink, and the old man pulled out a head of aquatic plants from Ouyang Ze's mouth, and continuously pulled out half a meter long aquatic plants from Ouyang Ze's mouth. Unfortunately, Ouyang Ze is still alive.

"It seems to be on fire over there." It is unknown who in the crowd shouted.

I turned my head to look over, and there was a raging fire burning on the side of the mourning hall, it must be someone extinguishing the fire, and the fire was quickly suppressed.

The bloodstains disappeared when they reached the river, and several young people carried Ouyang Ze back.

Back in the mourning hall, it was not the mourning hall that caught fire, but the dead grass where we found the blood stains earlier. No one lit it, he did it himself.

I saw Zhang Manting at the scene of the firefighting, and walked over as an exception, "Manting, where were you when you were haunted before?" ”

Zhang Manting had an innocent expression on her face, "I went to the toilet, I heard that it was haunted, and when I came out, you were already out, I don't believe you asked Wei Xiaoxiao and the fat man." ”

"You" I accidentally saw aquatic plants on Zhang Manting's shoes, she went to the river?

"What's wrong?" Zhang Manting asked when she saw me.

"It's okay, just let you be careful."

"You're caring about me?" Zhang Manting asked me with a smile.

I said perfunctorily, "Sort of." ”

It was haunted and on fire again, and no one dared to sleep until dawn.

Nothing strange happened for the next two days, but everyone was nervous, especially those of us who knew about the existence of ghosts, for fear that something would go wrong.

On the third day, I sweated a handful of sweat, and I didn't want to go wrong. The boss is not here, and if I mess up the funeral, the boss will have to skin me alive.

Early in the morning, many people were busy. At ten o'clock in the morning, the horn sounded, and on behalf of the boss, I walked in front of the old lady's tablet, and there was a big brother leading the way in front of me.
