Chapter 628: Say who dies
"Don't say that, we don't just sell Buddhist cards," Lao Xie smiled, "You can do it by smashing ghosts and casting spells." β
The man glared: "What a ghost, I think the two of you are ghosts!" β
The young mother hurriedly explained that it was because she had asked someone to find two Azan masters before, but the effect was not good. He had to charge a few thousand baht every time, which is why he was so angry.
A few thousand baht, but a thousand yuan, for Chinese, even ordinary people, not necessarily poor. How can the monthly salary in an ordinary city be two or three thousand. But in Thailand it is different, prices are low, and incomes are also very low, the police only get six or seven thousand baht a month, and the salarymen are even worse. So for this family, these thousands of baht may be the income of their family for nearly two months of work, so it is no wonder that they are angry.
Lao Xie was just about to ask something. Hearing the little boy raise his head and whisper to his mother, "I really saw it, mother, it's on his shoulderβ" Before he could finish speaking, his father interrupted angrily: "You dare to say it?" Believe it or not, I hit you? The little boy was so frightened that the young mother hurriedly hugged her son, complaining that her husband was too fierce and scared the child.
The man said, "Is it okay not to be fierce?" Talking nonsense all day long. Do you think we get into less trouble? β
I asked, "Can you tell us both what he was sick with and why everyone said he was a monster?" Are you referring to the neighbors? The young mother sighed and said not only neighbors, but also relatives and friends. Lao Xie asked her to talk carefully, but the young mother looked at her husband, as if he had the final say at home.
The man pointed at his son angrily: "I don't know what's going on, he always says that he can see strange things." Sometimes it's the guy who rides the little girl on his shoulder, sometimes he sees someone following someone into the house, sometimes he goes to the neighbor's house to play, he squats in the corner and talks to the unseen, saying that someone here tells him a story, that he died a few years ago. β
"Oh, that is, his words disgusted a lot of people, so they don't like him." I replied.
The young mother shook her head, "If it were that simple, we wouldn't let everyone hate it to this point." A lot of neighbors told us to move out and leave here, but we weren't rich people, we had lived here for two generations. There is no one to buy the old house, where can we move to? β
The man said, "Every time he says he sees something strange, that person is unlucky, and he is either dead or seriously ill." Either that's something strange at home. Everyone thinks of him as a bad star, and when they see it, they hide and go! β
Lao Xie thought for a while: "Could it be that he really saw something...... The man was very angry, saying that if there is anything, no one else can see it, how can he be, and he is not the reincarnation of a god and Buddha.
I came up to the boy, crouched down and smiled, "What's your name?" The little boy cowered and did not dare to answer, as if he had recognized life. The young mother said, "His name is Unai." "I asked the little boy for his name just to find a topic to cut into. I asked the next question, but she mixed it up like this, which made me miscalculate. This kid is introverted and often scolded. How do you communicate this with him?
Lao Xie walked over with a smile and asked, "Wu Nai, what did you just say you saw on his shoulder?" β
The man was about to block him, but I blocked him with a gesture. Unai looked at his father timidly. Don't dare to speak. I said, "This fat uncle is here to listen to your story, you don't have to be afraid of Dad, Dad and this fat uncle are good friends." β
Unai looked at his father suspiciously, he was too embarrassed to scold again, so he could only replace it with silence. Wu Nai said to Lao Xie: "I see a little sister sitting on his shoulder, with a blue face......" The voice was very low, if it weren't for the silence in the room, it would be really hard to hear clearly. I hurriedly asked him who he was. Unai stretched out his hand and pointed to the left side of the window, saying that it was him, XXX's father.
I asked, "Who is XXX?" The neighbor's child? The young mother nodded, saying it was a little boy. He was the same age as Unai and used to play together, but later Unai said that seeing a little girl sitting on his father's shoulder made his family very angry, and the two families never interacted with each other since.
I have come into contact with this before, sometimes couples who have had a baby, Master Azan will see them holding a child on their back or shoulder, and it is usually because the baby is angry and does not want to leave, so it is attached to the parents, usually the girl is pestering the father, and the boy is pestering the mother. Or wrap around the person who is forced to have a baby.
"That XXX's parents, have they ever had an abortion before?" Lao Xie asked.
Unai's mother said: "Yes, the beating of a five-month-old girl was done secretly in a private clinic, and they were afraid that people would find out, and they were very worried about being publicized. Actually, only my husband and wife know about it, because I have a good relationship with his mother. But since Unai said this, the people in this alley have been talking about it. So his family was very angry, thinking that I had deliberately let Unai leak out. β
The man said, "It's nothing, late one night in the second year, he was lying on the window and looking out, and there was a man in the neighborhood who had just come back from drinking, and Unai said that he saw several people in white clothes following behind and entering his house, but I didn't see anything." The next day, he told the neighbor's adults and children about it, but it was only in the afternoon that everyone learned that the man had suffocated due to vomiting and suffocation due to excessive drinking in the middle of the night. β
Lao Xie asked in surprise, "Could it be a coincidence?" β
"That's what I thought at first. But if this kind of thing happens often, it can't be said to be a coincidence. Unai's mother said.
Unai is five years old, and it is only at the age of about three that children can speak whole sentences fluently and express more complex content. So the strange things about Unai basically started one after another at that time.
Before the old man of the neighbor died, in fact, Unai began to have some strange words and deeds, in the words of the Chinese. It's just some "god chatter". But it's no secret that children at a certain age may see things that adults can't, and many people know it, especially in a country like Thailand, where everyone believes in Buddhism. In addition, children will also have a more alternative interpretation of the world and things in their eyes, but Unai is definitely different from other children.
According to his mother's recollections, Unai was very introverted when he was a child, especially crying, and usually talked to himself in the corner of the kitchen. When he was three years old, a girl who was about to get married sat in a daze at the door, but Unai pointed to the girl. Said she had something black on her head. Everyone asked what it was, and Unai said that there was a big lump of black marshmallows, which was still transparent.
Everyone was weird, but they didn't take it seriously. It's a child, after all. Two days later, the girl committed suicide by jumping into the river from a bridge, but she did not die, because the river was too shallow and her impact was too strong, but her head touched the stones at the bottom of the river, and she ended up in a vegetative state, and she has not woken up yet. As for the reason why she wanted to commit suicide, it was because she didn't like to marry that man, but her family forced it. This girl has a stubborn personality and always disagrees, and she wants to commit suicide the day before the wedding. This may be a coincidence, and everyone didn't connect Unai's words that day with the girl's affairs.
Another time, there was an old man in his sixties in the alley, who was very fond of children, and often gave them candy. Once the old man came back from an errand in Bangkok and brought a lot of sweets to distribute to the neighbors' children. Some adults watched and laughed from the side, and Unai received two pieces of candy, and the old man asked him if he liked it, and Unai said, "I like it." β
The old man was just about to walk away, when Unai said to him, "Grandpa, you are going to die." β
"What did you say?" The old man didn't hear clearly. Unai said it again, the old man was not very happy, and the adults next to him also said that this child was really unpleasant, how could he say anything. Unai's mother came to understand the situation, apologized to the old man, took Unai home and lectured him a few words, and asked him to speak politely in the future.
Unai whispered, "That grandpa is really going to die these days." His mother was so angry that he slapped Unai twice, and he stopped talking.
Five or six days later, the old man was on his way to Bangkok when the BRT bus overturned on the road and he died in a car accident.
Someone in the neighborhood put this incident together with Unai's words that day, and gradually rumors began to spread.
