When Hu Zongren and I walked into the house, we found that the old man was no longer where he was sitting. So Hu Zongren and I began to go to other rooms to look for the old man, but when we just walked to the porch where we first entered, we heard the old man's voice from the direction of the kitchen saying, "Two young people, it's not too early, don't dislike it, stay and have dinner." After saying that, he paused, and then said, I haven't had anyone else here to eat for a long time.

So Hu Zongren nodded and said that he would accompany the old man to eat first, and then talk about it after eating. So we walked in the direction of the kitchen. It's not completely dark outside, but it's getting to the point where you need to turn on the street lights. As soon as we turned to the kitchen, we found that the old man was trembling and dragging the bench under the table, so Hu Zongren hurriedly went up to help, and then helped place the dishes and chopsticks. The old man said that there is nothing to eat at home, just eat some. I smiled and nodded, and then asked the uncle, you haven't cooked here yet, why don't we help you? The old man smiled happily and said yes, so Hu Zongren and I were responsible for washing and chopping vegetables, and I was responsible for cooking and stir-frying, and soon the kitchen became a hot look.

I'm a lazy person, but in fact, most of the time at home, Sister Cai is cooking. But those days disappeared completely when she became pregnant in 2011, and during her pregnancy, I not only learned a lot of dishes, but I even learned how to make desserts and afternoon tea. I have to say that this is a huge improvement for me. But at that time, in the old man's house, I only often saw Sister Cai do it when it came to stir-frying, and I had very little experience in doing it myself. Needless to say, Hu Zongren is afraid that he can't even wash the dishes at home. So the two of us hurriedly prepared, I used my housekeeping skills, tomato scrambled eggs I have never even been so successful, and I also cooked a pot of side vegetable soup, the whole process, the old man always sat on the side and watched us happily, it seems that our arrival, can also let him eat.

So when I was cooking, I added a little more rice so that the old man could eat a few more meals, so that he could work a few less meals. Just when I thought it was all ready, Hu Zongren handed over another basket with carrots cut into small round slices. Of course, I understood what Hu Zongren meant, but this pig actually washed the carrots cleanly, and even put in a piece of the radish leaves. Even I, who doesn't cook very often, know that the leaves are inedible. So I divided five by two again, and came to a plate of fried carrots.

The whole process took about half an hour, during which the three of us didn't speak to each other at all, and Hu Zongren and I often went to the client's house, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. While I was stir-frying, I was thinking to myself, how to talk to this old man later. Luckily, the meal was delicious, if I had put a little too much salt. The old man doesn't drink, so Hu Zongren and I didn't take the initiative to find a drink to drink, and at the end of the meal, the old man suddenly said, thank you for coming to help me cook today, your street is really considerate of the people, I thank you for our wife.

The old man's words made Hu Zongren and I very uncomfortable. Although we still have a great deal of sympathy for this old man, in the final analysis, our roots are just to fulfill our own commission, and lying and deceiving people is a common thing in our business, but usually not malice, and at the moment I am filled with a sense of guilt. I looked at Hu Zongren, Hu Zongren's face was also very complicated, he was silent for a while, and then said to the old man, in fact, this is the uncle, we have something to do, I may have to pick this time to tell you.

The old man put down his chopsticks, but his face was still full of satisfaction after a good meal, and he asked Hu Zongren and said, "Young man, what is the matter?" Hu Zongren sighed and said, in fact, the two of us deceived you, the two of us are not street staff at all, and the street is not going to conduct any census, we came to you today to get some other information from you. When the old man heard this, he seemed to be a little surprised, so he looked at Hu Zongren for a long time and said, Then what are you doing here. Hu Zongren explained, in fact, we didn't want to come to visit you, we were originally hired by others to investigate and deal with some things, but in this process, we found that in fact, the root of these things is actually your mother, but Zhang's mother is no longer there, and we also tried to communicate with her, but we failed, so we took the liberty to come to your house, on the one hand, we learned about Zhang's mother's personality from your mouth, guessed the reason why she stayed, and even we need your help, Cooperate with us to send Zhang's mother to go quietly.

Hu Zongren's words surprised the old man, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and then he said hesitantly, why didn't I understand what you meant, why are you going to communicate with her again, did my wife know you before? Hu Zongren glanced at me, gritted his teeth, and told the old man about the things we encountered during this period, word for word, and even told the old man the slightest hint of oil and vinegar, of course, he omitted the ghost of Zhang Ma and pushed me and Hu Zongren downstairs, just told the old man, although Zhang Ma is dead, but she has not left, still wandering around here, so she was led by the supermarket burning incense candles over there, if we guess correctly, one of the reasons why Zhang Ma did not leave should be relieved of you, she still shows up in the supermarket from time to time and takes the carrots from the supermarket. When he said this, Hu Zongren and I both looked at the plate of leftover carrots in front of us.

But Hu Zongren's words obviously made the old man unacceptable, he stood up and said to us very excitedly and angrily, you two get out of me, if you don't get out, I will call the police. Hu Zongren hurriedly said to him, uncle, we have no malicious intentions, just talk about the facts, we don't actually use to find you at all, and we will also be ruthless, but in that case, such a kind old woman will be hurt because of this, if you know that your wife has not ended well after death, won't you feel sad? Me and this person, our profession is to make a living by catching ghosts, and everything we have on us proves that I am definitely not lying to you with these words. After saying that, Hu Zongren and I took out all the strange things on us. The old man's expression was very solemn, he didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that his deceased wife had become a ghost after her death, but judging from his appearance, this kind of old man who knew the destiny of heaven at his age actually believed our words.

So the old man sat on the stool with a puff, and asked Hu Zongren after a long time, my wife, does she look okay? Hu Zongren lied and said, fortunately, he has been wandering here, and he can't ascend to heaven or enter the ground, which is indeed very pitiful. You are the person she has been with for so many years, presumably you don't want your wife to wander like this, and in the end you will harm others and yourself, and become a lonely ghost, right? From the moment we entered the house, I always felt that this old man was very optimistic, who knew that after Hu Zongren said this, he actually stretched out his wrinkled hand, hid his face and cried softly. Hu Zongren and I didn't try to comfort him, but knew that in this case, his crying was a kind of spiritual release for him, so we waited for him to cry. When the old man finished crying, he asked us, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

So I said to the old man, you don't need to do anything, just follow us later, after we have done the spiritual ceremony, you can talk to your wife, let her go with peace of mind, you are fine. Just like you normally talk. The old man said with tears in his eyes, can she still hear what I said? I nodded and said yes.

At the moment, Hu Zongren and I were washing the dishes and cleaning up the table, because we felt that when the old man came home, he would definitely not be in the mood to wash the dishes. After cleaning up the kitchen, Hu Zongren and I helped the old man out. After going out, Hu Zongren called Mr. Yang and asked Mr. Yang to take us back to the fresh food section of the supermarket from the elevator. When the old man saw the cabinet full of carrots, he couldn't help but burst into tears again. Hu Zongren and Teacher Yang accompanied the old man, and I removed the rope array and compress that I originally set up here, and then measured it with a compass, and found that its reaction was still relatively violent, and it could fully meet the conditions for the spirit, so I said to Hu Zongren, you can start.

Then Hu Zongren asked the old man, the specific name of Zhang's mother, and the birth date, and soon I saw from the compass that Zhang's mother was here. This kind of summoning with accurate information, as long as it is around, it must be shouted one by one, but after it is shouted, we can't see it. I noticed the compass's movements, and instead of the anger that had pushed us down the stairs before, I was in a bit of a trance, but it was coming. So I said to the old man, if you have anything to say to Zhang's mother, let's just say it, she is around us at the moment.

The old man looked around, as if looking for Mama Zhang's trace, and when he turned his head, I saw the look of anticipation in his eyes. The old man still trembled and said, old woman, you can rest assured that you can go, I am very good here, don't worry about me, you go down and occupy a place for me, and it won't be long before I come to accompany you. I glanced at Mr. Yang and gently rubbed his nose, then put his hand on his nose. The old man went on to say, I will eat carrots every meal, and I hate them when I see them after eating, anyway, you like to force me to eat them, so I'll eat them.

Don't worry, the babies are all older, they all have their own things, and they often come back to see me, don't be afraid that I will be alone.

You go by yourself, on the day of the Qingming death, I will burn money for you, if it is not enough, just give me a dream, even if it is okay, you can also give me a dream, I also want to see you...

After saying this last sentence, the old man couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't cry.

I didn't have time to be sad with them, I looked at the compass, and Zhang's mother's ghost had become very smooth and warm, so I said to Hu Zongren, it's time, so Hu Zongren framed God, and sent away Zhang's mother's ghost with a higher specification, until I couldn't find it on the compass.

Then the three of us sent the old man home together, and Mr. Yang promised to visit the old man often and keep in touch with the old man's children more. When we left the old man's house, he said to Hu Zongren and me through the iron fence gate, "Thank you, two young people, you are good people."

Hu Zongren and I smiled, then turned and left. Downstairs, Mr. Yang asked us, are we all done? Hu Zongren and I glanced at each other, and then I said to Mr. Yang, it's still a little close.
