Chapter 2: The Grave Ghosts
We brought a lot of paper money, and it took more than ten minutes to extinguish it, but the red rope continued, which means that people did not agree. Zhang Wuyi became angry, reached out and dragged the backpack from my arms, and said, toast and don't eat and drink, right? If you don't agree today, Lao Tzu won't leave!
He took out seven wooden sticks in the shape of nails, and nailed them around the grave casually, strange to say, the wooden nails had just been nailed, and the surrounding wind was immediately much lighter, and the ashes in the sky began to fall slowly. Zhang Wuren took out another iron rod, and I noticed that there were fine runes on the iron rod, which shone under the light of the flashlight, and it was still flashing.
As the saying goes, ghosts are also afraid of the wicked, Zhang Wucan't bear to be ruthless, it is estimated that Qin Aiguo can't bear it. But taking away someone's wife is a deep hatred, and anyone has to blow up their hair.
Zhang Wuren stretched out his hand and inserted the iron rod into the tomb, and when he pulled it out, it brought a layer of pitch-black soil, like ashes. I was about to speak, but I heard a slight sound, and when I looked down again, it turned out that the red rope on Qingqing's wrist had broken off by itself.
Zhang Wuren said to me, Lao He, you and Qingqing get in the car first.
I agreed, and hurriedly walked away with Qingqing, who was weak all over, and when I was leaving, I also saw Zhang Wuren standing at the head of the grave with an iron rod, and the beam of the flashlight set off his figure, which looked very tall.
As soon as I got in the car, I turned on the headlights, I glanced at Qingqing and said it's okay, right? Qingqing's face was pale, and she looked like she couldn't speak, so she could only nod tremblingly.
I pulled out a cigarette and put it in my mouth, but my heart slowly calmed down. Seriously, I don't know if there is really a ghost or a trick made up by Zhang Wuyi, but Qingqing is a customer after all, and I have any questions in my heart.
More than ten minutes later, I saw a fire on the side of Qin Aiguo's grave again, and after a while, Zhang Wuren came back with a package. He put the package directly in the trunk and started the car to leave.
I asked him if he had done it?
Zhang Wuyan said contemptuously, this product is a silver-like pewter gun head, dare to say no, teach him to be a man in minutes. He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, took out a few blank pieces of paper with writing from his pocket with the other, and said, Qingqing, this is your divorce agreement, find a wooden box to put it up when you go back, hide it, don't open it casually if it's okay.
Qingqing nodded again and again, saying that she would not dream again in the future?
Zhang Wuren nodded, and handed her another ten-yuan bill, and I noticed that the banknote was covered with dense tiny runes.
He said that this money is not for you to spend, but in your purse, it can ward off evil spirits. Plus, that guy won't dare to pester you, and you won't have to run to the bar every day to spend the night.
Qingqing took the ten-yuan bill as if she was holding a treasure, and carefully put it into her wallet. She said very sincerely, thank you.
Zhang Wuren pouted and said, Xie doesn't need it, but it's good to settle the business expenses as soon as possible.
We rushed all the way back to Luancheng, and it was already the middle of the night after sending Qingqing home. Taking advantage of the lack of cars at night, we didn't stay in Luancheng, but turned around and got on the highway, and an hour later we arrived at the house rented by Zhang Wuren.
On the way, I asked him, is there really a ghost in this world, or is it a trick you made? Zhang Wuren smiled at him, but did not answer directly, but asked me rhetorically, what do you think?
I was silent.
Seriously, I don't know if there are ghosts in this world. It stands to reason that the teacher has always said that you should believe in science and not be superstitious, and I should not believe in the existence of ghosts.
But Qingqing's dream, Zhang Wuyi was able to accurately find Qin Aiguo's tomb, as well as the inexplicably broken red rope, these things seem to be fundamentally inexplicable by science.
The house rented by Zhang Wuren is in the International City in Qiaodong District, which belongs to the kind of place with a high occupancy rate and a very popular place. But instead of going back to sleep, we parked our car and found a place that was open 24 hours a day for a big meal. After eating and drinking, rub your belly and go back to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three poles, I rubbed my eyes and pushed open the door, just in time to see Zhang Wuren looking up something in front of the computer.
When he saw me coming over, he smiled at me and said that Qingqing's 30,000 yuan had arrived.
As soon as I heard this, I was excited, and I said in my heart that it would be 30,000 yuan a night, and the money was really fast. I just don't know how much Zhang Wuren is going to give me.
Zhang Wuyan looked at me with a look of expectation, but said to me, in our business, in fact, we have to accumulate yin virtue and good fortune, don't look at more than 30,000 yuan, but we can't put it all in our pockets. According to the old rules, half of the 30,000 yuan is to be donated, and the remaining three or seven points, you three and I seven. If there are customers you tap, it's four or six points, and you are four and I are six.
I was instantly excited, half of the 30,000 yuan was donated, and there was still 15,000 left. Even if it is 30%, it is 4,500 yuan. In just one night, it's enough to match my previous two months' salary.
Zhang Wuren's distribution plan is actually very fair, after all, I am just a starter, and he is the one who really contributes. So I'm actually a little embarrassed to take 30%. However, Zhang Wuren told me that there are actually dangers in this line of work, and there are not many in the third percentage.
After doing the first job with Zhang Wuren, I was actually a little relieved. Over the next few days, Zhang Wuren gave me a few books on Feng Shui to read, and the rest of the time I either exercised or surfed the Internet in front of my computer.
Such days were very moist, but only a week later, Zhang Wuren received another call.
I don't know what it said on the phone, anyway, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Wuren asked me to pack up my things and get ready to work. I put all the mess in my backpack and asked with great interest, where to go?
Zhang Wuren said that Lingshou County is a big job.
The so-called big job is actually a job of more than 50,000 yuan. This kind of work is usually tricky, and it can take two or three days to delay, and it is impossible to do it as easily as the last time.
I happily packed up my things, but Zhang Wuren couldn't help but say, Lao He, don't be too happy, the customer said, there are four lives over there, can you pick it up, you have to talk to the customer.
As soon as I heard about the human life, I chuckled in my heart and hurriedly asked what was the situation? Zhang Wuren shook his head, saying that he didn't know very well, and he would wait until he got to the place.
Lingshou County is mountainous, and we drove around and around until the afternoon. It was the Huo family Zhuangzi who belonged to the walled township, and most of the people in the village were surnamed Huo.
When I first entered the village, I saw the tall willow tree at the entrance of the village. The willow tree is as thick as three people hugging each other, and the branches are luxuriant and shady. It's just strange that there are still a few spirit flags hanging on the tree, which looks like a white thing from the village.
The client is the village chief of Huojia Zhuangzi, who saw our car coming in and was busy arranging a banquet. After Zhang Wuren got out of the car, he said that we are not here to eat and drink, let's talk about you first, I heard that there are still dead people?
Old Man Huo slapped his thigh and said, isn't it? Four people are dead!
The problem actually lies in the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, since four days ago, every night a person has been holding a rope and silently hanging himself from the big willow tree.
There are old and young people, men and women, and the time of hanging is sometimes in the second half of the night, sometimes in the first half of the night, and there is no regularity at all. The only thing that is the same is the branch that is very suitable for hanging.
At first, they also invited the criminal police to investigate, but after the police surveyed the scene, they only came to the conclusion of suicide. Later, more people died, and everyone realized that the so-called suicide was nonsense, and there was something dirty hiding in the village.
Zhang Wuren waved his hand on the spot, wanting to take a closer look at the big willow tree. At that moment, the old village chief took a few village men and walked in front of the big willow tree.
I don't know how many years the big willow tree has lived, because the place where it grows is not in the way, so it grows all over the place. There was a bare branch on the tree, like a dead log.
It was here that all four people who hanged themselves were hanged.
I was curious at the time, and said old man, why didn't you cut this branch?
Zhang Wuren gave me a blank look, the problem was not on the branches. He took out the square saucer, measured it around it, took out another dagger, and cut it at the top of the tree.
Strangely, when the knife was pulled out, the blade that came into contact with the willow turned black.
Zhang Wuyan's face changed on the spot. Come, "Come and come, and come with shovels."
The idlers in the village had been on standby for a long time, and as soon as they heard Zhang Wuren's words, they came out of the house with shovels on the spot. Then he looked at Zhang Wuren and waited for his orders.
Zhang Wuren took the big willow tree as the center, counted one step at a time, and stopped after walking about a hundred steps, drew a circle on the ground with his feet, and said, dig!
The idlers picked up their shovels and began to dig. Fortunately, this place is not a rock, but it is very easy. Seven or eight idlers took turns to dig a big pit five or six meters deep.
Suddenly, there was a thud, and the shovel seemed to have touched something hard. Zhang Wuren said to be careful, and the idler changed to a flat-headed shovel to clean up the soil layer on it.
At this time, everyone saw that there was a coffin inside.
At this time, everyone's eyes changed when they saw Zhang Wuyi, and Old Man Huo became even more excited, saying that the villagers were hanged, is this coffin a ghost?
Zhang Wuren didn't speak, but his face became more serious, he asked people to dig out the coffin, looked at it carefully, and asked if I knew how old this coffin was?
I carefully judged the inscription on the coffin and the degree of decay, and said that the coffin had been buried for more than 400 years. Counting the days, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil.
Zhang Wuren nodded, the world is in chaos, and there are more demons and monsters. It's not unusual.
