"Lao Cao, a friend has come to see you." Cao Feng's wife lay on the head of the bed and called softly, Cao Feng seemed to be sleeping, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

Cao Feng looked at the three people, was in a trance, and didn't recognize them for a while.

"Cao Feng, it's us." Lei Baoquan leaned in towards him.

"Oh, it's you, I didn't see it clearly." Cao Feng said with a smile, his voice was weak, as if he was very weak.

"What are you doing here? How did it suddenly become like this? Li Bai asked.

"I don't know, it's just that two days ago, I suddenly felt very tired and uncomfortable, so I took a day off to rest at home, but the more I lay down, the more uncomfortable it became, and now I ......," Cao Feng sighed.

"Did you go to the hospital?" Jin Guo asked.

Cao Feng's wife poured water with three people, sat on the side with a lonely expression, and said, "After reading it, I thought I had some serious illness." As a result, I went to the hospital to check inside and out, and the doctor said that everything was normal. ”

"How is this possible? It doesn't look like everything is normal. Li Bai said.

"That's what I said, but that's what people say when I go to three hospitals." Cao Feng's wife was also helpless.

Lei Baoquan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the skinny Cao Feng, and said, "How do you feel yourself?" ”

"I didn't feel anything...... It doesn't hurt or itch, but I don't have the strength to do it, and I feel tired when I want to walk these days. Cao Feng said.

Lei Baoquan looked at each other, what kind of disease is this? Sick with such a character?

Li Bai suddenly thought of himself last time, so he whispered to Lei Baoquan: "Uncle Lei, could it be that you have hit the evil spirit?" ”

Lei Baoquan didn't think about this aspect originally, but after Li Bai said this, he was really a little skeptical. However, Cao Feng's wife is beside him, and he can't directly say that you may have hit a ghost, how can a normal housewife accept it.

When Lei Baoquan was entangled, Cao Feng's wife, who was sitting next to him, said with some hesitation: "I want to say something, I don't know if you will laugh at me." ”

"No, you say." Lei Baoquan said.

"The two of us came back from the hospital, and we didn't get any results, but Lao Cao is still getting weaker and weaker day by day, so I wonder if I have hit the evil spirit." Cao Feng's wife saw the three of them stunned, and hurriedly said: "Don't laugh at me, I know that it seems superstitious to say this, but our small place still believes in this." And our Lao Cao goes out every day and often comes back in the middle of the night, which inevitably provokes something...... Don't you think it's outrageous when I say that? ”

"No, no, no. By age, I should call you brother and sister. Lei Baoquan smiled and said, "Brother and sister, in fact, this world is so big, there are no surprises, and the kind of situation you said is also understandable." ”

"You believe in that, too?" Cao Feng's wife was stunned for a moment, thinking that these three people were from the city, and they shouldn't believe it.

"What's this? In fact, this is also a kind of culture, which has been passed down from our ancestors. It's just that there are too many people who use this culture to play tricks now, so everyone can't believe it. Lei Baoquan said like a professor.

"Uncle Lei, what are you talking about? Let's get to the point. Li Bai had goosebumps when he listened to it.

"Actually, we have similar thoughts to you, so I want to ask Cao Feng, what have you encountered before?" Lei Baoquan turned to Cao Feng and asked, "Did you encounter anything strange before you took leave?" ”

Cao Feng blinked his eyes, as if reminiscing. After a while, he slowly said, "No, I don't remember." ”

"Think about it again." Jin Guo said.

"I just seemed to be going out of the car and going home normally, and nothing happened in between." Cao Feng said.

"What about when you get out of the car? Haven't seen any strange passengers? Lei Baoquan asked.

"Nope." Cao Feng replied simply, "You also know that there are only a few people in the car every time, if it is strange, you can see it at a glance." ”

"This is even more strange, there is nothing, how can it be ......," Lei Baoquan muttered.

"Didn't you pick up something before?" Cao Feng's wife said beside him.

"Picking up something? Pick up something? Lei Baoquan asked hurriedly.

Cao Feng also thought about it at this time, and said, "Yes, I picked up something and it was in the bedside table." He slowly pointed to the cabinet next to him, and Cao Feng's wife stood up and rummaged through the cabinet and took out something like a coin.

Lei Baoquan took it and looked at it, it seemed to be an ancient copper coin, and the words on it were almost worn out, and there was only the word "Tongbao" faintly.

"Is this a copper coin?" Li Bai glanced at it and asked.

"Yes, one day when I was at work, I was idle and bored in Yungang City Station, and I picked it up on the road when I went to the supermarket across the road to buy something." Cao Feng said.

"In Yungang City? How could that place pick up this thing on the road? "Jin Guo is strange.

"At the time, I didn't think much about it, thinking that someone who was engaged in antiques dropped it, so I took it back." Cao Feng said.

"I remembered, since I beat him to get this thing back, I felt uncomfortable the next day and asked for leave." Cao Feng's wife added.

Lei Baoquan looked at the copper coin in his hand, there was nothing strange about it, and he didn't know if it was true. However, since Cao Feng's wife and his wife said so, Cao Feng's illness is most likely related to this copper coin, although it is not very certain now, but there is no other reason for doubt.

"Then why are you still at home?" Li Bai asked.

"At the time, I thought I had picked up an antique, so I put it away, and then I kept running around the hospital and forgot about it." Cao Feng said.

"We didn't think about it, we all thought it was some kind of disease." Cao Feng's wife added.

"Why don't you let Uncle Li take a look?" Li Bai said.

"Who?" Cao Feng heard that he was going to invite someone to come and ask.

"It's the uncle who was with us last time." Li Bai said.

"Okay! That's good! At that time, I thought he was a master. Cao Feng's eyes flashed, as if he had been saved.

Jin Guo had no choice, so he took out his mobile phone and called the front desk of the hotel, asking the little fat man to send Uncle Li over according to the address. Putting down the phone, several people waited in the house, speechless for a while.

"Why don't I make you something to eat?" Cao Feng's wife looked at the atmosphere very strange, and said hurriedly.

"Don't bother, we're not hungry." As soon as Li Bai finished speaking, his stomach screamed.

Cao Feng smiled and said, "They are all friends, and they should have a meal." ”

Cao Feng's wife also smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, besides, you have helped us so much, what is a meal?" With that, he got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

"You said you, clean trouble." Lei Baoquan glanced at Li Bai.

"It's not bad for me, I didn't expect my belly to be so humane, and people responded as soon as they said it." Li Bai said aggrievedly, although he said so, in fact, the three of them were a little hungry.

After waiting for a while, Uncle Li followed the little fat man, and as soon as he entered the house, Uncle Li looked around as if he noticed something.

"What's wrong, uncle? Did you find something? Li Bai immediately asked.

Uncle Li nodded slightly. Li Bai became even more excited, and said to Jin Guo: "You see, a master is a master, sometimes what to do is a matter of eye-catching, uncle, tell us, what did you find?" ”

Uncle Li closed his eyes slightly, inhaled lightly through his nose, and said, "This is the taste of braised pork!" ”

"Huh?" Li Bai didn't expect Uncle Li to come to such a sentence.

Uncle Li saw Cao Feng's wife wearing an apron and said, "Is it braised pork?" ”

"Uncle, your nose is really smart, I made braised pork." Cao Feng's wife said with a smile.

"What do you think? I smelled it as soon as I entered the house. Uncle Li and Li Bai boasted.

Li Bai smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, hurry up and enter the house." ”

After entering the bedroom, Uncle Li looked at Cao Feng lying on the bed, and was also startled, and said, "What kind of disease is this?" So serious. ”

"Uncle, he's not sick." Li Bai said.

"How does that look like this?" Uncle Li looked at Cao Feng's skin and bones and said.

"We think we've run into a ghost." Lei Baoquan said.

"Oh? What's the basis? Uncle Li asked.

Jin Guo repeated what they had just said to Uncle Li, and Lei Baoquan took out the copper coin again and showed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li took the copper coin, looked at it carefully, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked Cao Feng: "You picked it up on the road?" ”

"Yes, it's on the main road."

"Was there no one around?"

"Yes, a lot of people."

"I'm not asking this, I'm saying there's nothing special about it? For example......"

"It's like a group of funeral people just passed by at that time." Cao Feng vaguely remembered.

"Are you sure?"

"Seems like so."

"That's right." Uncle Li said.

"What do you mean?" Li Bai didn't understand what Uncle Li said.

"Do you know what this is?" Uncle Li asked, holding the copper coin.

"Copper coins, they were used in ancient times." Li Bai said.

"But it's not really a copper coin, it's made manually." Uncle Li said.

Li Bai scratched his head: "In other words, it's **?" ”

Uncle Li sighed and said, "That means this money is just a prop." According to the previous customs, when people die and go out of the funeral, they will put some objects on the body, these objects have different meanings, this copper coin is the 'mouth money' placed on the mouth of the deceased. ”

"What do you mean by mouthful money?" Everyone is a little confused.

"Mouth money is to put an ancient coin in a person's mouth after death, and the customs are different in different places, so sometimes the things put are different, some places will put jade, and some places will put other things. The effect of this is that people die to cross the river, and the river has ferrymen, and if you want to cross the river easily, you have to use money to buy a road. This money is kept as a memorial by your loved ones after the funeral, and if you take it home now, people will naturally not be happy. ”
