Chapter 53: Find a Substitute for the Dead
I was also in a hurry, so I said, "How can you bring such unexplained money home?" You don't want to think about it, even if it's not dead people's money, you will be in trouble if you say that it is a thief's money! After finishing speaking, seeing Lan Lan snorting there and unable to speak, I also realized that I didn't say it a little too much. Lan Lan's mother's condition is a blood disease, and I heard that she has to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion once a month, and it costs 10,000 yuan each time. In the early years, the family worked hard to save some money to buy a house, but because of her mother's illness, the house was never bought, and her father went to work on the construction site in order to make money. Many people look down on migrant workers working on the construction site, and they all think that they are dirty, tired, and bitter. However, in recent years, many people have been exposed, saying that some urban white-collar workers do not have construction sites to work, and migrant workers make a lot of money. But that's all about taking risks, suffering and suffering, and earning all your hard-earned money.
I understand the situation of the Lan Lan family, and now that this kind of words come out of my mouth, I feel very embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Lan Lan. I'm not... ”
"You Xuan, it's all exactly the same. It's true! The paper money here is exactly the same as in my dreams, and two of them float to my bed. The location is all said to be exactly the same. ”
Lan Lan was completely panicked, she didn't notice what I said, and she didn't know why I was sorry to her.
I looked at the two pieces of paper money that fell at the end of the bed, patted the sheets and shook them off, and looked at Zong Sheng. The old gentleman who took Zong Sheng away at the beginning can deal with the problem of the ghost fetus, and Zong Sheng should also order it.
Zong Sheng let out a long breath and said, "You're afraid it's useless now." You pick up all these paper money one by one and make sure that there is no one missing. Find a way to return the money to the family, and talk about the rest. ”
Lan Lan looked at me, and the panic on her face still didn't subside. I said, "I'll pick it up for you." ”
Before I finished speaking, Zong Sheng had already interrupted me: "She took this money into the house by herself, so let her pick it up by herself, and others can't help her." As he spoke, he put his hands in his pockets, and he really looked like he didn't intend to help.
Lan Lan held my hand tightly, unwilling to let go of me at all, let alone let her pick up the paper money alone.
"When will your parents come back?"
"My dad, he's going to keep vigil at the construction site tonight and won't be coming back. My mom, my mom will be back at eleven o'clock. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, Lan Lan, don't let your mother worry about you. Pick up the paper money before your mom comes back, and I'll have a way to get this thing to be handled safely. When Zong Sheng said this, he slowed down his tone, making Lan Lan look at him with a feeling of trust.
Lan Lan finally got out of bed, even though she was scared now, she still knelt on the ground and picked up the paper money. It's just that just now she was covering the quilt on the bed, in such a big summer, she can sweat a lot, plus she is afraid of ghosts, she can break out in a cold sweat, and now she is kneeling down to pick up money, the cold wind is blowing so much, she sneezes several times, and she feels like she is going to catch a cold.
I originally wanted to squat down and help her pick it up, but Zong Sheng grabbed me and whispered: "I'm not kidding, she has to pick up this money, and it's an indispensable one, and what others help pick up may not necessarily admit the things over there." ”
Watching Lan Lan kneel on the ground and pick up the money, I felt very uncomfortable. She's my sister, but there's nothing I can do to help her. I approached Zong Sheng and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Could it be the little boss's move?" ”
"Probably not, depending on the means, not like. I guess Lan Lan herself works in the hotel, and she is stained with the yin qi of the hotel, and after watching the murder scene, the whole person's fortune has been affected, so she will be selected. This kind of thing about her, which is often heard by ordinary people, is that roadside money, red paper, and paper money cannot be picked up casually. ”
I just let out a sigh, it's just an ordinary incident. With Zong Sheng here, it should be able to handle it, but Lan Lan is going to suffer a little.
At eleven o'clock, the voice of Lan Lan's mother came downstairs: "Lan Lan, Lan Lan, what's going on at this door?" ”
Even if her mother can't do any heavy work anymore, she will still work hard to make money to support the family. When you come back from work so late, you see that someone kicked the lock at the door of your house, can you not be surprised?
Lan Lan hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, I, I forgot to bring the key just now, so I kicked the door." Mom, I, my classmate You Xuan and her brother are still in our house. ”
"It's good that you're not a thief."
Auntie is back, so let's say hello. I hurriedly walked out of the room and said to Lanlan's mother, who had just entered the door downstairs, "Hello, Auntie." But after I said hello, the whole person was stunned. At the top of the stairs, a piece of paper money was blown there somehow. And a man holding a black leather bag, wearing a loose blazer, but with sweatpants and sneakers, stepped on the paper money, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lan Lan's mother.
Lan Lan's mother is a long-term sick patient, and I don't know if she can see that man?
Seeing that Lan Lan had already picked up all the paper money in the room, and when she was covering up in a panic, her aunt had already walked upstairs. Judging from her expression, she couldn't see the man, but her footsteps should have stepped on the piece of paper.
Damn! What if I do get stepped on? Will Zong Sheng not be able to deal with it, isn't Lan Lan really dead?
In a hurry, I didn't have time to discuss with Zong Sheng or Lan Lan at all, so I jumped down the stairs in a few steps, blocking my aunt, and even forgot to be afraid when I passed by the man. I smiled at this aunt and said, "Auntie, hehe, did you come home so late?" You've worked hard too. ”
Auntie's face was tired, looked at me, and smiled weakly. Holding on to the handrail, I was about to go upstairs, but I didn't get out of the way, and said, "Auntie, if you take a rest on the first floor, I'll pour you a glass of water, you drink water first, and then go upstairs to rest." ”
"What time is it, it's time for you to go home, don't worry your family. If you stay here tonight, yo, and the boys, it's inconvenient. ”
As we spoke, Zong Sheng also found the paper money. He should have been able to see the man. Then he should be able to see the paper money under the man's feet. I don't know what he told Lan Lan, anyway, Lan Lan rushed out quickly, and when I was still holding my aunt, I had already picked up the paper money.
I used the rest of my eyes to watch how surprised the male ghost was when Lan Lan went to take a piece of paper money. He still raised his foot and asked her to take the paper money. Maybe the male ghost didn't expect that Lan Lan would dare to take paper money at his feet. But with Auntie's current position, if Lan Lan doesn't do this, her mother will find out. When the time comes, her mother's health is not good, and she doesn't know if she can handle these things.
I gave way, nodded to my aunt, and watched her go up to the second floor. Zong Sheng also said: "Since Auntie is back, let's go home." ”
"Is there a bus home so late?" Auntie asked.
"Thank you Auntie for your concern, we came by car. But Lan Lan will send us out for a while, this alley is a bit dark. Zong Sheng said that it was this excuse, it was not an excuse at all, and he couldn't find any inevitable connection between Hei and Lan Lan in the alley, but Auntie didn't ask anything, just smiled at us, and dragged her tired body back to the room.
The ghost who was standing at the top of the stairs had disappeared, and Lan Lan was holding the big envelope, which contained the paper money she had just picked up. Follow us out of the house. Zong Sheng didn't seem to be in a hurry to do the next thing, but simply repaired the lock of their house first, at least so that the lock could still be used tonight.
After he fixed the lock, he walked over to us who were already waiting outside the door and said, "Do you know any bars, Internet cafes and other places around here that are still lively at night?" ”
Lan Lan nodded and pointed to the street over there: "There is an Internet café street over there, and they all close at twelve o'clock." ”
"Let's go, we'll go find you a substitute for the dead!"
