Chapter 540: Offerings to the Dead

I handed her the amulet card and said the price was 1,900 Hong Kong dollars. Xiao Fan was a little surprised: "Why is it so cheap?" I think the cheapest in the Buddhist card store is more than 5,000! ”

I smiled: "Hong Kong's land rent is expensive, the markup rate is also high, the kind of Buddha that sells more than 5,000 yuan, the purchase price is not more than 15,000 at most, and it may only be currency, that is, it is produced by ordinary temples in Thailand." This Chongdi Buddha was made and blessed by the famous Master Luang Po of Phra Singh Monastery in Chiang Mai, and it is in stock in my friend Fang Gang's safe. You know that guy, too. He and I didn't give you a markup, because you are different from other customers, we are friends. ”

Xiao Fan took the Buddha card, with a grateful look on his face, and said embarrassedly: "This, how can I be happy to go here......

I smiled and said, "I am friends with Master Chen, you have affection and righteousness for him, which makes me very envious, Master Chen is a blessed person." Xiao Fan smiled and said How do you know that I am good to him, I am his assistant, of course I have to serve him.

"If you only have a subordinate relationship with him, you won't be so active in going to Taiwan to follow Master Chen. That's something that can only be done between good friends, company owners and employees. It's impossible. I replied. Xiao Fan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, I understood her thoughts, and hurriedly said I don't doubt your character, I believe you are a good woman. Maybe one day, you'll become Mrs. Chen.

These words made Xiao Fan laugh, and she sighed: "I have worked for Master Chen for more than three years, and he has never had that kind of affection for me, just when I am an assistant." "I said that even if Master Chen doesn't mean that to you now, it's hard to guarantee that he won't in the future. Xiao Fan smiled and clinked glasses with me, and the two sides didn't mention it anymore.

I asked her sister Xiaoping how she was, and Xiaofan said, "I have gradually recovered in the past few days, but my spirit is still relatively poor." I asked her not to contact Mr. Liang again, and she was still not happy, but after listening to your advice, she still did it, after all, life matters. But what about Mr. Liang's side? He has been calling my sister for the past few days, and sometimes he speaks in a strange and eerie tone. ”

"Mr. Liang, I'd better see him again when I have time, because because of his behavior, it may become more and more serious in the future, and it will be difficult to deal with it then." I say.

Xiaofan asked: "Then how to solve it?" "I thought about it for a while and said that if he didn't want to pay to go to Thailand to find a mage to exorcise evil spirits, he would let the mage go to the cemetery to do a ritual, but the fee was not cheap. Unless he quits this job and does not touch the cemetery in the future, he can slowly get better.

"Will he agree?" I said that's not something I have to worry about. I can only provide the means, and whether I want to do it or not is his own freedom. He hid this from me before, which in itself was his fault. He has to bear the consequences of what he causes.

Saying goodbye to Xiaofan, I sent a text message to Mr. Liang, telling him about the kind of behavior he and Xiaoping did in the cemetery, and then telling him the solution. Mr. Liang replied to me in the evening, saying that he didn't deliberately hide it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. I said you should believe it now, you can believe it if you don't believe it, but don't be disrespectful, now you have affected Xiaofan's sister.

At the same time, I taught Mr. Liang a solution: "Or you and Ah Wen will go tomorrow to buy some talisman paper incense candles." Go to the cemetery and pay your respects. It's also a way to save a lot of money if it works. Mr. Liang replied that he would go tomorrow. I asked him to bring Xiaoping with him when he worshipped, after all, the trouble was caused by the two of you together, and the Yin Spirit would definitely blame the two of you, and if it worked, it would be possible to solve Xiaoping's matter by the way, but it was best to keep it a secret from your colleagues. Otherwise, your face will be disgraced.

Seven or eight days later, Mr. Liang sent me a text message saying that with the help and guidance of Ah Wen, he had burned talisman paper, incense candles, and paper bundles in and near the place where he and Xiaoping were doing that, and had also added offerings to nearby tombstones.

I don't know if it was the effect of the worship or the effect of the Buddha card, Xiaofan called and said that her sister's spirit had improved significantly, and her mood had improved a lot. I warned her not to let Xiaoping go to Mr. Liang's grave again in the future, and to go anywhere outside if she wanted to go on a date. I asked her sister if she was wearing a Buddha card these days, and unexpectedly, Xiao Fan said: "I'm really sorry, then when you eat, you handed me the Buddha card, but I was on the way home by subway, I don't know when I lost the Buddha card......

"Ah, lost?" I was surprised. Xiaofan said that she is not a person who loses everything, and she rarely loses things, but she can't find the Buddha card somehow.

I said, "Oh, I can't help it if I lose it, maybe this amulet has nothing to do with your sister." If so, your sister and Mr. Liang's worship at the cemetery that day was still effective. If there are no accidents, the strange incidents that Mr. Liang will encounter in his future work should also be reduced or even eliminated. Xiao Fan said that he hoped so.

A few days passed, and on this day Awen called me and said that Lao Liang had an accident and was lying in the hospital. I hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Arwen said, "Last night, yes, he was on the night shift, and I went to work this morning, and no one opened the office door after knocking for a long time." I looked in through the window and saw Lao Liang sitting on a chair, his mouth full of blood, and he had fainted. I hurriedly called my boss to bring someone over, opened the office door with the spare key, and took him to the hospital. ”

I asked, "What does it look like?" What's with? ”

The more anxious Ah Wen became, the more he stammered: "The doctor said that it was caused by violence and violence by external forces, but what is the reason for the patient and the patient himself." He just woke up. We asked what was going on, and he said that he had a dream last night, and he dreamed that someone scolded him, why did he steal my things to eat, you like to steal so much, you like to steal, just let you eat one, enough! After saying that, he grabbed a lot of pebbles and stuffed them into his mouth. When he woke up again, he was in the hospital. ”

When I heard this, I was horrified, what does this mean? Suddenly, I remembered what Arwen had said to me earlier. That day, he called me and said that Mr. Liang was behaving abnormally when he was counting the urns, and when Ah Wen went to see it, Mr. Liang pointed to an urn and said that this person scolded me for stealing food from her husband.

I asked about Mr. Liang's condition. Arwen said that he lost more than a dozen teeth, because the time was too long, he had missed the best time to reconnect, and the doctor said that he could not get them back, so he could only put on dentures after healing. I called Xiaofan, and she and her sister Xiaoping didn't know about it and were surprised. I specifically asked Xiaoping not to visit Mr. Liang for the time being, and Xiaofan agreed.

A few days later. Xiaofan said that Mr. Liang had been discharged from the hospital to recuperate in order to save medical expenses. I asked Xiaoping for the address of Mr. Liang's house and went to his house.

Mr. Liang has only him and his old father in the family, and it seems that the family conditions are poorer than Xiaofan. But strangely. There was a lot of food piled up on the floor in his living room, including large bags of apples, bananas, oranges and mangoes, foreign liquor such as Zhanbian and Jack Daniel's, imported cigarettes such as Jianpai, Marlboro and Seven Stars, and many pastries and sweets in various packages.

When Liang's father opened the refrigerator to help me get drinks, I saw that the refrigerator was full of things wrapped in white plastic bags, and several of them were obviously roast chicken or goose. However, it may have been stored for a long time, and when you open the door, you can clearly smell a not-so-fresh smell.

Seeing me staring at these things, Liang's father was a little flustered and hurriedly let me into the bedroom. Mr. Liang was lying on the bed, barely moving his head at my arrival, and I quickly motioned for him not to move. Seeing his depressed appearance, I thought of what I saw just now, and Mr. Liang's self-description before: offerings are often lost in front of the tombstone, there are always scattered offerings on the tombway, Mr. Liang often takes the initiative to go out to patrol, and the office will throw food but never lose valuables......

I asked, "Mr. Liang, you lied." ”

Mr. Liang's mouth was half open, and I could see that the upper and lower gums of his mouth were covered with light yellow ointment, and the strong smell of medicine was emanating. I knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak now, so I said: "I'll answer for you, the strange things you encountered in the cemetery mountain are not only caused by you and Xiaofan's sister Xiaoping doing that kind of thing in the cemetery, but there are other hidden secrets, right?" ”
