Zhu Liujin saw that the woman's actions were a little evil, and he found that there was a black fire mark on the oil bowl at this time, and remembered the old man's advice to him before going out, Zhu Liujin's heart began to grow a little. In Xia Laoliu's words, he was a remnant of the Cultural Revolution, and the radical ideas in his mind could still be used as a torch for the revolution, and he firmly believed in atheism, he took out a lighter and lit it to the woman: "Big sister, I don't know how many things like you broke twenty years ago, what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god, I haven't seen it?" ”

After the oil bowl was lit, the woman smiled at him and said, "Big brother, you are really good, I'll go back first, please bring the contents of the basket to my father-in-law, he is in the field at the foot of the front ridge." ”

Zhu Liujin actually wished she was leaving, and comforted herself: That woman just begged for a fire to turn back, she must be a living person, thinking that she still earned a dime, and her heart suddenly felt beautiful again.

Not long after pushing the car forward, Zhu Liujin felt that the uphill was getting more and more difficult to walk, the car was heavy and panicked, he thought it was just going uphill, and when he arrived at a relatively flat place, he was already tired and panting, and the bicycle was about to retreat.

Looking at the pot of oil in the back seat of the car, Zhu Liujin gasped and said, "Little ancestor, if it weren't for you and me, I would climb this mountain......

But I don't know why, is the mountain road too shocking, or the oil pot just now is not tied tightly, suddenly "woo", the oil pot fell to the ground, Zhu Liujin didn't look good, if it was broken, it would be a big deal.

I picked it up and looked at it, and it was okay, and I tied it back up, but not long after, the oil pot fell again! This time Zhu Liujin was hairy, and after scolding and scolding the car, he repeatedly confirmed that he had tied a knot, but the car suddenly became heavier again, and at this moment Zhu Liujin suddenly heard a voice behind him: "It's mine, don't rob it!" "This is mine, don't rob it!"

This is the voice of the two children, he heard it so clearly, looking back, there was nothing, at this time Zhu Liujin's revolutionary torch was about to be extinguished by his own sweat. He didn't care how noisy the cart was, he thought that if he met the woman's father-in-law for a while, he would have a companion, and the more bold people were, there was a big piece of land at the foot of the ridge, and the corn in it would have been broken in patches long ago.

He stopped the car next to the cornfield and removed the basket on the front of the car, which was covered with a piece of cloth, and he didn't know what it contained. Passing through the cornfield, Zhu Liujin walked back and forth twice, but he didn't see half a person, he thought to himself that either the woman was lying, or the old man was not there.

That's okay if I'm not here, I don't break my promise by leaving my things here, so I want to put the basket on the top of the field and turn around and leave. But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Big brother, is this basket my family?" ”

Zhu Liujin looked back and saw an old man in a black cardigan sitting on the field, and the old man was still holding a pipe in his hand and smiling at himself. Looking up and down, the old man was wearing a pair of wide-mouthed cloth shoes with a white background and black face on his feet, and he didn't see any soil on his body, so he didn't look like he was here to break corn, so he wondered: "Old man, your surname is Jin?" Before, shiitake mushrooms were grown? ”

The old man smiled and said, "You still know me, I'm Jin Shunfa, isn't my name written there?" Saying that, the old man knocked on a stone next to him with a pipe, and this Zhu Liujin couldn't see clearly with a flashlight in his hand, walked a few steps forward, and exclaimed with a tremor in his mouth: "Mom, there are ghosts!" ”

What's knocking? It's a tombstone! The tombstone is engraved with a few big words: Tomb of Kim Soon Huat! Here's a month ago, and it's a brand new grave!

After being sure that he had encountered something, Zhu Liujin was completely dumbfounded, and he just wanted to run away from the old man but stopped him and said, "Don't go yet, you can't leave in the past now, those two naughty eggs will fix you." ”

Where is Zhu Liujin willing to agree, it was a step earlier and he made money, and suddenly he looked at it, good guy, I don't know when there was a pair of children on his bicycle, dressed in colorful clothes, wearing a small hat on his head, his face was as white as flour, and there were two blushes on his cheeks, just like yam eggs. Look at the little red dot on the lips, one is sitting on the big bar at the front of the car, and the other is sitting on the newspaper shelf in the back. The two dolls were laughing at themselves, and now Zhu Liujin turned his head and ran, but ran in?

Looking back, there was a doll, and in front of him was an old man, and he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to drill into. There's no way, when I think of those two dolls, forget it, it seems that the old man looks a little kinder, no matter how old man still looks like a person.

When the old man saw that he was coming back again, he said, "I can't reach the basket here." ”

Zhu Liujin had no choice but to do so, and he could only put his face aside when he sent it over, where did he dare to look, the old man suddenly opened the basket, took out two wine glasses from it and said, "Big brother, thank you for helping me send these, I invite you to have a drink." ”

Although he was afraid, he didn't dare to disobey his fate, and took the wine glass with a slight trembling to see what kind of cup it was, it was clearly a small cup made of tin foil, the kind specially used for the dead. I don't know what it is in the cup, the old man got up to toast with him, Zhu Liujin was stared at by the other party and there was no way, and finally poured it into his mouth, anyway, he didn't taste like wine.

The old man took out a few more things from the basket, and one of the candles picked up and nibbled into his mouth, and he felt it taste with relish as he went. Zhu Liujin put down the cup and begged boldly: "Old man, can you help get the two children on the other side." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "What is the back of your car, it's oil, sesame oil, sesame oil, if you don't add some sesame oil paper money to them, they will trouble you, and I can't do anything." ”

Zhu Liujin said anxiously: "Where can I go to add to those two little ancestors." ”

The old man said to him, "There is a little intersection ahead, so draw a circle on the ground, and then say good things to the two children, and say that the oil in the bowl is for them, and then you will burn two more New Year's money to coax them." The two children left early, and the family didn't care, so it was pitiful. ”

Zhu Liujin cried and said, "Where do I have paper money and bowls......"

The old man said: "I have the bowl here, anyway, just a few days after coming down, enough to eat and drink and not hungry for the time being, I will sell you two bowls, what about the money, if you don't have paper money, you can burn real money." ”

"And how do you sell your bowl?"

When the old man was full, he pulled his feet and said, "Three yuan for one, two for six yuan!" ”

Zhu Liujin still wanted to bargain: "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The old man blew his beard and said, "Love to buy or not!" ”

It's very helpless like this, Zhu Liujin just needs to take out the money from his arms, but when he takes it out, he looks at it, something is wrong, how can the money that the woman gave herself just now be a dark coin! Suddenly frightened him more and more, with more than a pound of oil in exchange for such a little thing, he threw those dark coins on the ground and didn't care, picked up the two bowls on the grave and said: "Old man, I'm sorry, if it's not enough, I'll burn it for you again tomorrow." ”

After that, he rushed to his bicycle like the wind, and the old man behind him chased after him while holding a cigarette butt: "Big brother, you have to talk about it, I remember the money I owe, if you don't come, I can go to you!" ”

When he arrived at the small intersection, Zhu Liujin followed the method taught by the old man, kowtowed to the bicycle before and after, added two oil bowls, and took out cotton to make a wick, and after lighting it, he heard a string of children's giggles, as if he was setting off firecrackers with children in the countryside for the New Year.

As soon as he wanted to get up and leave, he suddenly felt that his back was being pulled by someone's clothes, Zhu Liujin turned around, and a slap of "snap" slapped him head-on, and a little boy said menacingly: "This person is so bad, he wants to run!" ”

Zhu Liujin didn't just want to run, he simply wanted to die, he didn't dare to look at that face with his head in his hands, he could only beg for mercy: "Two masters, if you still have any requirements, just say ......"

"Didn't you promise Old Man Jin to give us red envelopes to give us New Year's money!"

"New Year's money?" Zhu Liujin immediately reacted and said: "Oh, you guys are mistaken, today is not the New Year, when the New Year comes, I will come over to give the two of you the New Year's money, or put it in this place, I must be the talker, I haven't forgotten." ”

"Slap" was another slap, and the boy said to Zhu Liujin with a miserable white face: "Today is our New Year's celebration here, you hurry up and give the New Year's money!" ”

It turns out that this is the seventh and a half months, for the dead ghosts, it is the New Year in the underworld, just like the 30th lunar calendar in our yang world, this Zhu Liujin is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say the bitterness, so he has to take out the real money from his arms and burn it on the ground, and cry while burning, I don't know if I think he has any relatives who died here, but in fact, he feels sorry for the money.

Waited until all the money in his pocket was burned, the two little ghosts seemed to be finally satisfied, Zhu Liujin pushed the bicycle all the way and ran wildly, and went up to the boundary monument in one breath......

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and now there is a road down the mountain in front of him, what happened to Zhu Liujin and his oil in the end, let's continue to talk about it at this time next year......
