But why would the ghost of the old lady's mother haunt the unrelated Mr. Leng? But I quickly figured it out. So I called Hu Zongren and Mr. Leng aside and told him that I had basically figured things out, and if I guessed correctly, the old lady had not gone back to worship her mother's grave for many years because she had come to the city after the demolition of her hometown, which can be proved by the deserted appearance in front of the grave when we first saw it. It is very ominous to have a grave where descendants are alive but there are no descendants to worship, and it is not even good for the living and the dead. Under normal circumstances, such descendants will be named as unworthy descendants, and it is very easy for the deceased to become angry and become ghosts because of the loss of incense worship.

Although this kind of ghost may not harm others because it is not worshipped, especially not its own family. However, we have all encountered a situation where if the children are too busy to visit the elderly, usually the elderly will not be able to sit still and run to the children's house to see their children. Presumably this ghost old lady is like this, that is to say, as early as when the old lady was bumped into by Mr. Leng, or even earlier, the ghost of this ghost old lady had already followed the old lady, but it was not revealed, and no one knew what it was.

And later, when Mr. Leng bumped into the old lady, at this moment, for the ghost old lady, whether it was caused by the old lady crossing the road by herself, her anger was exactly the same as the woman in the house, it was the kind of psychology that I didn't care about you anyway, so I said that I wouldn't let you run. As a result, every night when Mr. Leng came home after that, the ghost of an old lady crossing the road would appear when he passed by the mountain.

Hu Zongren asked me, is it purely a coincidence that it appeared in that place? If Mr. Leng didn't live in Baishiyi, wouldn't he have appeared? I nodded and said, I'm guessing, it's mostly a coincidence. Because I consider that Mr. Leng meets him at the same place at a different time every night, it takes a certain opportunity, and the biggest possibility is that there is something about the existence of this ghost nearby. And ghosts are usually not seen, and if the ghost wants to appear, it is an adventure that does not conform to the rules, just like a man who appears in a women's toilet or a women's bathhouse, he will be attacked by the surrounding crowd, which is why we have been taking away the ghosts around us who have broken into our world for so many years. I went on to say that the grave was nearby, which was like giving the old lady the courage to turn into a powerful ghost in the area, so powerful that it could even get your neck around and push you into the middle of the road.

After speaking, I pointed at Hu Zongren.

I explained that it was like a child who would run home when he was wronged, and when he got home, even if the danger outside was greater, he would feel relieved and courageous. At that time, when we inspected the two graves, the other one with a tombstone, that is, the grave of the old lady's uncle, was quiet, and there was no movement at all, which means that her eldest uncle may have left safely in his early years, and now he wants to look for it, but only its original spirit can follow. And this old lady is different, judging by the shape of the tomb, she was almost buried in a hurry, and there was not even a tombstone. Hu Zongren interrupted me and said, but if some people are poor, it is normal not to erect tombstones, in that era, some people died and threw them on the side of the road, even if they could dig a pit and bury it, this is already in place. I shook my head and said, didn't you notice such a thing, it was the grave of Zhao Manting next to me.

I said that the grave of the old lady's uncle was erected, and the old lady herself said just now that the restoration of contact between the eldest uncle and her mother was also a matter of a few years before her mother's death, and have you noticed that although the two graves have a monument and the other do not, but judging from the degree of weathering, the time of burial should not be very far apart, that is, less than ten years. I said to Hu Zongren, if Zhao Manting died in 1990, then push forward 10 years, that is, in 1980, in the era when you and I were born, in Chongqing at that time, and in a dignified town like Baishiyi, how could there be money to build graves, but no money to erect monuments?

Hu Zongren stopped talking, and I then told him that there was only one possibility, that is, when the old lady's mother was buried, they thought that this area would not be occupied by other people, only their own mother, so they did not erect a monument, and then proved that the road we found yesterday, that is, between the bamboo forest and the small hill, it is very likely that the old lady's maiden family lived there, and that area was also the scope of demolition when the highway was built. In fact, it is very likely that the old lady thought that the government was going to demolish and lost money, which also included her mother's grave on the hill. Unexpectedly, that piece of land was preserved, and not only that, but a new tomb was built, so that the old lady herself did not go back to worship her mother for many years.

Hu Zongren said, so, this is a misunderstanding? is entangled with Mr. Leng, it is a simple family affection, I feel that my child is being bullied, and I want to be angry for my child? I said that while this may sound absurd, I must tell you that this is the most plausible explanation I can think of at the moment. But I paused and said, of course, this is still stuck in my speculation, if we want to really prove it, we need to take the old lady to the place where the incident happened, so that the old lady confessed her mistake to her mother, if the ghost at the scene is relieved, then it proves that my guess is correct, let's send the soul at this time, it must be much stronger than the hard one, besides, the two of us suffered yesterday, and the hard one may not work.

At this time, Mr. Leng actually laughed, and Hu Zongren asked him unhappily, what are you laughing at. The old lady said that there was nothing wrong, but she felt that everyone had an unknown story, and every family had a scripture that was difficult to read. I thought I hit the ghost because I bumped into someone else and suffered retribution, but I didn't expect that the cause of all this was because I was unlucky and bumped into an old lady with my mother's ghost next to me.

Although we know that what Mr. Lu Daoleng said is the truth, he is still responsible for his mistake and hitting someone, which is the same thing. So after discussing how to talk to the old lady, Hu Zongren decided to ask Mr. Leng to call the woman outside to avoid it first, so that we could communicate with the old lady directly about this matter, after all, her foot was injured, although the doctor said that she could go home to recuperate a long time ago, but considering that she was so old, we still had to be a little gentler in our words.

So I tried not to irritate the old lady and told her very implicitly, although your injury had nothing to do with this incident, but because of this incident, Mr. Leng was entangled by your mother's ghost, and the reason why your mother's ghost appeared was because you cut off the incense in your early years.

Even so, the old lady was surprised. She is an old person, and she still has no doubts about my profession, after all, when people are old, they know their destiny. It's just that she kept emphasizing to me that it was because she occupied the land that she couldn't go back to worship, so she set up a mourning hall for her mother at home. I shook my head and said to her, "That doesn't really do much, because your mother is buried and her whole body is under the soil, so in this case, you can only show the filial piety of your descendants by bowing at the grave, but you misunderstand that the government will occupy your mother's grave in the first place, so it can be considered forgivable." The old lady said that this is exactly the case, because when the land was requisitioned, her own situation was also reported to the government, and the government said that all the graves within the demolition range will be moved to another cemetery, which is still under new repair, and I have been waiting for them to be repaired all these years.

The old lady said as she spoke, her eyes were full of remorse, and she said that if she had known that this was the case, she would definitely go back to worship every year over the years. After saying that, he whimpered and cried. I shook the old lady's hand and said, It's still too late, I just hope that you can come with us and give your mother a sin, so that we can send your mother's soul away, otherwise you will become a lonely ghost sooner or later.

The old lady nodded, not hesitating, not uneasy that she was about to face her mother's ghost.

So I briefly told her daughter about the situation, of course, I didn't tell her our real occupation and where we were going, and she didn't seem to object, and that afternoon, Mr. Leng and I drove back and forth towards that place.

This time we didn't stop at the gas station, because it was too far to walk, and the old lady's legs and feet were not convenient. So we were close to the side of the guardrail, and after I measured the agility, I asked the old lady to apologize to the ghost old lady, saying that it was not that she did not come to worship, but that she thought that there was nowhere to worship. I felt a little sorry in my heart, because of the construction and excavation, how many old graves were destroyed in one fell swoop, and when the descendants wanted to worship, they found that there was not even a single bone residue left.

In fact, as I guessed, there may have been some changes in the details, but the general direction was still correct, and when Hu Zongren and I climbed over the guardrail, leaving Mr. Leng, Zhao Jing and the old lady watching the car on the side of the road, we climbed up the hill again and walked to the edge of the two graves. I measured that the agility was already very gentle, and there was not even the kind of hostility towards Hu Zongren and me, and I knew that this was the time to do it.

Hu Zongren stopped me and said don't worry, let me put incense on the old man's house. So I stood aside, and Hu Zongren squatted down in front of the grave, pulled out the weeds, and loosened the soil a little with the sticks of candles, and then lit incense and candles, and said something in his mouth, and I have no way of knowing what he said, and most likely he was apologizing for his rude behavior the first night. After a stick of incense burned out and a lot of money paper was burned, Hu Zongren said to me, now you can do it, do you come or me? I thought about it and said, let's do it myself. You've had a holiday after all.

So in a very smooth and safe situation, I sent away the soul of this ghost old lady, and sent it cleanly, just like her eldest brother next to me.

After returning to the side of the road, we decided to send the old lady back to the hospital first, since the matter was settled, she was almost ready to be discharged, and I don't care how to solve the rest of the compensation. But Hu Zongren and I received a commission after returning to the hospital, and I said to the old lady's daughter, your grandmother, there is no tombstone in front of the grave, such a grave is not good for your descendants, the ancestors are nameless and surnameless, how good can the descendants be?

The implication is that she wants her to erect a tombstone for her grandmother.

As we left the hospital room, I looked back and saw the old lady waving goodbye to us, with a tear in the corner of her eye.
