Chapter 380: Burning Paper
Wushuang looked at those dark coins over and over again, and then said, "The strength of the two of us should be the strongest in the world." When the other party does this, it should not be provoking us, but it seems to be joking with us. ”
When Wushuang said this, I suddenly felt this way. I nodded and said, "The other party should know us." ”
Wushuang nodded: "That's right." Then she stood up and said, "Who is this man?" Where do we find them? ”
I shook my head: "I feel like he's stealthy. Don't seem to want us to find out. But at the same time, he deliberately showed his feet, as if he wanted to be discovered by us, why? ”
I discussed it with Wushuang for a while, but I still didn't have a clue. By this time, it was getting late. The two of us began to walk back slowly.
When I got to the door, I smelled something burning in my nose. I couldn't help but frown.
Wushuang looked at me and said, "Your mother is burning paper at home again." ”
I nodded, sighed, and said, "I don't know what's going on with her≡ she has always burned paper since a few years ago." Every day when I go home, I smell of paper money. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I don't know if I'm in the house or in the graveyard. ”
Wushuang smiled: "You don't know your mother as well as me." Do you know why she always burns paper? ”
I shook my head: "I don't know. ”
Wushuang said: "It seems that she didn't tell you about this. ”
I looked at her in amazement: "You know? How would you know? ”
Wushuang said proudly: "Of course I know. You and your parents are as good as ever. But you consciously or unconsciously, you hold the shelves all day long. If you have anything to say, your mother would rather tell me. ”
I thought about it, and it seemed like it was really going on.
The two of us were standing at the corner of the stairs, and we were not busy getting in, and I asked Wushuang, "What did my mother say?" ”
Wushuang said: "Your mother started burning paper, it was indeed a few years ago. That is, we will come back from the fairy world and take them back to Zhengzhou from the south. ”
I nodded, "Not bad." ”
Wushuang sighed and said, "The reason why your mother did this. Mainly because she saw that only the two of us were back. The rest of the people are uncertain about their fate and death. And there is such a big thing in the world, and the number of dead people is even more uncountable. She always felt in her heart that a few of us had done evil. Burning paper money is to sacrifice those little ghosts and atone for our sins. ”
I was dumbfounded: "This...... What is this? Why don't you dissuade her? She doesn't understand that, you should. ”
Wushuang said: "I persuaded it, why didn't I persuade it?" I said to her, 'We didn't kill those people, but we saved them, otherwise they would have died more.' Moreover, their souls are gone, and even if you burn paper, they won't be able to collect it. 'When I say that, guess what your mother said?' ”
I asked, "What did she say?" ”
Wushuang learned my mother's tone and gestures and said, "You young people don't understand. Burn paper, burn paper. It's not just for the living. It is burned for the dead. We ordinary people are mortals, who has ever seen a ghost? It's not like you're trying to make a living. ”
I nodded and said, "Since she wants to have peace of mind, let's stop interfering." ”
Wushuang nodded: "I think so too." ”
The two of us were talking when we suddenly heard footsteps in the room, as if they were about to open the door.
Wushuang and I are both doing well now. It's easy to hear that the footsteps are unfamiliar, not like from our family.
My first reaction was, "There's something dirty." This is Tai Sui's head breaking ground. ”
However, then I realized, "No, it's not a ghost, I don't feel the slightest ghost." ”
I'm thinking. The door has opened. Then a mediocre-looking middle-aged man came out of it.
The man had gray hair and spoke with a thick Henan accent. Just saying goodbye to my mom. Then, he was gone.
I could hear his breathing being heavy and his steps not light. Obviously, this person is an ordinary person, not a ghost, and he has never practiced Taoism.
My mom watched this man go downstairs. Then he sighed sadly, turned back to his room, and closed the door.
Wushuang looked at me in the dark, and then smiled: "Your mother is having an affair." ”
I waved my hand: "Impossible." She is very clear to me. has been honest all his life, how can he have an affair. Besides. Look at this kid, he is neither young nor rich, why is my mother looking for him? ”
Wushuang looked gloating: "You want to know why?" Why don't you go home and ask your mother? ”
I waved my hand: "Don't ask, if it's true, how embarrassing would it be?" ”
Then, the two of us went upstairs ∵ to the door.
None of us are in the habit of carrying keys. So there was a knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, the security door opened at a very fast speed. It scared me.
My mother was obviously surprised when she saw me and Wushuang.
I thought about it for a while, and immediately reacted: after saying goodbye to the middle-aged man just now, my mother closed the door, but did not leave. She must have been standing in the doorway thinking about something. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door, and thought it was the middle-aged man who had returned. I quickly opened the door, and it turned out that it was me and Wushuang, so I was a little surprised.
In that case, my mom might really have something going on.
Wushuang and I tacitly glanced at each other. No one asked.
My mom looked at the two of us in a bit of a panic, as if to see if we had discovered her secret.
It's business as usual. She said to us, "The meal is ready, you two should eat it quickly." ”
Wushuang and I agreed, washed our hands and ate. Halfway through eating, the smell of burning paper money wafted through my nose again.
I couldn't help but frown. Just as I was about to speak, Wushuang kicked me: "What are you going to do?" ”
I whispered, "It's okay to burn paper money in normal times." It was almost midnight. What do you do when you suddenly burn paper money? I'm going to stop her. ”
Wushuang shook his head and said, "You don't understand, this time is different from the past. ”
I looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Wushuang pointed at my mother and said, "Do you see her squatting on the ground and burning paper money, the same as usual?" ”
I thought back to it, usually my mother burned paper money in the brazier, and always sat on a stool. It looks very laid-back. And today, instead of sitting, she squatted on the ground, her arms around her legs, and her body was almost shrunk into a ball.
Wushuang whispered, "You men don't understand. Once a woman makes this pose, she must have suffered some grievance, or she is sad and doesn't want to say it. ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand. My mother has never quarreled with the world for half her life, and she has never quarreled with anyone. If you are wronged, it is completely reasonable to squat here. But why burn paper?
Wushuang said: "That's the key. So I guess your mother is very abnormal today, and this abnormality should be related to gods and ghosts. ”
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly came to my senses and whispered, "Which little ghost is so short-sighted?" Catching ghosts and demons is our old business. They're hitting the muzzle of the gun. By the way, don't tell my mother about paper money during the day. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to bear it and would be scared out of her mind again. ”
Wushuang nodded: "I know this, don't worry." ”
After the two of us had dinner, we took the initiative to brush the dishes. It was nearly twelve o'clock. My mom had already burned the paper. Back in the house.
Wushuang and I turned off the lights in the living room and prepared to go back to bed. At this time, it turned out that something was wrong. The lights in my parents' house are still on.
The two of them have always been very compliant. The lights are still on at this time. It's not normal.
Musou beckoned to me, then tiptoed over and pressed his ear to the door.
I grinned: "Eavesdropping...... It's also too obscene. ”
However, looking at Wushuang's expression is very rich, as if there is really something behind the door. So I walked slowly.
I put my ear to the door and listened hard for the movement inside. Soon, I heard a sigh. It's my dad's. Then there was a whispered sob, which I with.
