"I'll tell you, do your own work, don't always help this gang and that, if you lose something in the store, I'll look for you!" It was already dark outside, and the proprietress cleaned up her things and reprimanded the little fat man on duty.

"I see, boss, don't worry." The little fat man nodded and replied.

The proprietress glanced upstairs and whispered, "I don't think those people are fuel-efficient lamps, look at them, don't let them do something useless, understand?" ”

"Understood, understood." The little fat man hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Jin Guo and Li Bai walked downstairs and saw the proprietress Li Bai wanted to show his goodwill first, and greeted him with a smile: "Yo, boss lady, are you going home?" ”

The proprietress squinted at him, snorted, and turned to leave.

"If she weren't a woman, I'd go and beat her up right away, do you believe it?" Li Bai suppressed the resentment in his heart and said to Jin Guo.

Jin Guo smiled and said to the little fat man, "Let's have a meal with us in a while, let's sit down and have a good chat." ”

The little fat man nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and get some vegetables." ”

"Don't, don't, we'll go out and buy some ourselves, don't do it. Also, can you put that jar somewhere else? Li Bai was afraid that the little fat man would not pay attention to the ashes when cooking, so he quickly refused.

The little fat man smiled embarrassedly and did not answer.

At ten o'clock in the evening, several people sat down at the dining table in the hall, and the little fat man politely poured tea for everyone one by one.

"We don't have any alcohol here, let's make do with it." The little fat man said apologetically.

"Don't bother, we don't drink." Lei Baoquan said.

"Let's eat, everybody." Uncle Li spoke, and everyone started moving.

Halfway through eating, Li Bai couldn't help it and said, "Can you tell us about it now, what's going on?" ”

The little fat man put down his chopsticks, his expression was a little lonely, and said, "In the morning, I really couldn't help everyone, and everyone was startled. The ashes belong to my sister, her name is Xiaoqing, last year, she graduated from high school, although she was admitted to university, but she did not want to go to it, she wanted to be a chef, and then open a small shop in the future. But I didn't agree, my sister was very stubborn, and we quarreled a lot about it, and then one day, we had a fight over it, and she ran out of the house, and I didn't care at the time, thinking that she would come back in the evening. Results ......"

The little fat man's voice was a little choked.

Lei Baoquan patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the result?" ”

"But she didn't come home that night, so I searched for the night, and the next day, the police came to me and said she had been killed." The little fat man finally couldn't help but cry quietly.

"What's going on?" Jin Guo asked.

"He said that he was robbed, and when he resisted, he was stabbed twice and died on the spot." The little fat man was sad when he thought about it, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't quarreled with her at that time, she wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing......"

Everyone was silent, and Lei Baoquan comforted: "I don't blame you for this, no one wants such a thing to happen, has the murderer been caught?" ”

The little fat man nodded: "I found it in a month." ”

"That's good, it's also an explanation for your sister." Jin Guo said.

"But why did you put your sister's ashes here?" Li Bai was puzzled.

"At that time, I found a master to calculate, and he said that my sister had unfinished wishes, so she refused to leave. It just so happened that I was reluctant to give up my sister, so I begged the master to think of such a way, put her ashes in a place where no one else could find them, put a drop of my blood on them, and sit with the urn for an hour every night, talking to her all the time. In this way, every cloudy night, I can see the ghost of my sister, and she has cooked for me a few times, because I am all working night shifts, so I can only put her in the hotel......" The sad mood of the little fat man also infected several people next to him.

"So, the hand I touched in the kitchen last time was her?" Li Bai's back was cold again.

"However, what you do has hurt both her and you." Uncle Li said slowly, "After all, you and her are separated by yin and yang, and if you do this, she won't be able to go where she should go, and your masculinity will be exhausted, which is the result of both losses." ”

The little fat man nodded, he knew this kind of result before, but compared to his sister, he didn't care about it.

"The master who told you this method, did he charge you a lot of money?" Uncle Li asked dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, I gave him 30,000 yuan before he would tell me." The little fat man replied.

"Hmph, this kind of person is really a shame in our industry, for the sake of money, this kind of work that harms others and benefits oneself is accepted, alas." Uncle Li shook his head.

"So what do we do now?" Lei Baoquan asked.

Uncle Li looked at the grieving little fat man, and said seriously: "I hope you don't mind when I say this, although we can understand your feelings, but this practice really shouldn't be, if it goes on like this, your sister will be trapped here because of your selfish thoughts and can't go to the underworld, do you think this is the best result?" ”

The little fat man lowered his head and just wiped his tears with his hands, and the others looked at him sympathetically. After a long time, the little fat man slowly raised his head and said, "Uncle, I listen to you, as long as my sister is good, I can do anything!" I owe her so much, I can't pay it back in this life, I will definitely pay it back in the next life! ”

"That's good, this is a man!" Li Bai patted the little fat man on the shoulder and said.

At midnight, several people came to the backyard of the hotel, and the little fat man followed Uncle Li with his sister's urn in his hand.

Uncle Li came to the middle of the courtyard and took out a pile of paper from his satchel, which was different from the previous burnt paper, this paper was red, red like blood. Uncle Li spread the paper on the ground and said to the little fat man, "Pour the ashes on it." ”

The little fat man walked up to him and carefully opened the jar and poured out the ashes inside.

Uncle Li took out the used bell again, and the "bell" shook it.

Li Bai glanced to the side and whispered to Lei Baoquan: "Uncle Lei, this won't shake out a bunch of ghosts, right?" ”

"Shh Lei Baoquan made a silent motion.

Uncle Li shook the bell three times and shouted loudly: "Those who should come come, those who should go, dust to dust, dew to dewdrops, people and ghosts have different paths, how can they complement each other?" Girl, uncle is here to see you off, come out and say goodbye to your brother. ”

Li Bai became nervous, and whispered to Jin Guo beside him: "That woman won't really come out, right?" ”

"Shh Jin Guo made a silent gesture.

The little fat man was standing next to the ashes, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up, blowing the ashes on the paper away. The little fat man was in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to protect the ashes, but who knew that those dusty ashes were blown into the air, like a tornado, circling around the little fat man, which was jaw-dropping.

"Your sister has come to say goodbye to you." Uncle Li said on the side.

With tears in his eyes, the little fat man looked at the ashes flying around him, and whispered: "Xiaoqing, brother is wrong, brother is sorry for you!" Brother shouldn't have stopped you from doing what you like, brother didn't protect you......" The little fat man said as tears flowed out.

At this time, he vaguely heard a female voice whispering in his ear: "It's okay, I don't blame you, because you are my brother." ”

The little fat man was startled and shouted, "Xiaoqing, is that you?" ”

At this moment, the whirlwind flying around him stopped, and the ashes were piled up on the paper as if they had not been moved. Uncle Li took out a lighter, lit the red paper, and said, "Let's go, let's go on the road, don't embarrass my girl on the road, let her go home safely." ”

The little fat man looked at the slowly lit fire, knowing that this was the final parting, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" on his face, his face full of tears, and shouted to the ashes: "Xiaoqing! Brother can't stand you! Take care of yourself when you get there, and my brother will make up for what he owes you when he is a cow and a horse in his next life! After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground vigorously.

Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo couldn't bear it, so they hurriedly went up and grabbed him. The little fat man got up and said, "Brother wants to be your relative in the next life... If you are reincarnated, come and be a daughter to your brother, and your brother will be doubly good to you! ”

With the cry of the little fat man, the fire was slowly extinguished, and the strange thing was that the ashes that had been burned into powder were burned like this, and they were gone, along with the red paper below.

Li Bai wiped his tears, leaned over to Uncle Li, and said, "Uncle, this is over?" ”

"Hmm." Uncle Li nodded.

"And was she the one who tickled my door last night?"

"It shouldn't be, scratch your door, I haven't found it yet, don't worry, wait." After speaking, Uncle Li walked up to the little fat man and comforted: "Your sister has no resentment and is on the road with peace of mind." ”

The little fat man was very grateful to Uncle Li, and kept bowing: "Thank you, uncle, you have helped us with a wish for so long." ”

Ten minutes later, the four of them returned to the room.

"Alas, I cried to death just now." Li Bai washed his face and said.

"I think that now we have not only investigated the case, but also done good deeds by the way, killing two birds with one stone." Jin Guo said.

Lei Baoquan nodded: "Yes, this is a matter of immeasurable merit, isn't it Uncle Li?" ”

Uncle Li nodded with a smile and said, "There are things with immeasurable merits everywhere, big or small, it depends on whether you have the heart to do it." After speaking, he looked at the three people with excited faces and said, "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

"I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy, I just did such a good thing, it's time to be happy." Li Bai laughed.

Uncle Li gave him a blank look and said, "Why are you young people so unobservant? I'm so old, can I stay up late with you? Besides, when I asked you if you were sleepy, I was implying that I was sleepy. ”

The other three people were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Ah... Actually, we're sleepy for a long time, oops, we're tired all day, so let's go to sleep. ”

Lei Baoquan said and walked back, Li Bai stood up, and said while undressing: "I'll be in the same room with Uncle Li tonight, it's useless for anyone to say anything, I'll sleep here!" After saying that, he got into the quilt without even taking off his pants.

The other two smiled, didn't care, and went to the next room.

Uncle Li folded his clothes and put them aside, lay on the bed, and said quietly: "If you sleep in the same room with me, you may not be able to sleep well." ”

Li Bai asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"I'll say okay first, I can snore when I sleep."

"Hey, what did I think? Uncle Lei fights every night, and I'm used to it. ”

"I'm snoring." Uncle Li smiled slightly.

Li Bai was amused: "Uncle Li, if I don't blow with you, don't say you snore, or if you sing in the middle of the night, I won't wake up." ”

It's already three o'clock in the morning, Li Bai is still lying on the bed tossing and turning and can't sleep, and Uncle Li on the bed next to him is playing "Let's Swing the Sculls" with a snort.
