Next Chapter

Some people say that there are ghosts in this world, but some people say that there are no ghosts in this world at all! This myth has been passed down from generation to generation for a long time, and no one can speculate.

I believe that there are many people who don't believe in gods and ghosts like me, but by chance, they have become a person who specializes in dealing with gods and ghosts, a Mr. Yin and Yang.

Mr. Yin and Yang, maybe everyone is a little confused, is it those fortune tellers on the street, some people will wonder, those are not liars!

Everyone should be talking about those blind old men and old ladies who look at the street and tell fortunes! Don't be fooled, they have better eyes than anyone else! is simply a liar, swaggering and deceiving everywhere under the banner of Mr. Yin and Yang, everyone should be cautious when encountering this kind of person, don't follow their way.

Having said so much, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Zhang Fan, and the meaning of the older generation is to hope that I will have the same name in this life, and spend my life in peace and happiness; The funny thing is that my life is extraordinary, and I even go through life and death tribulations.

Speaking of which, I will also talk to you casually, the unknown story I encountered in my life as Mr. Yin and Yang! Of course, don't take what you hear too seriously, just take it as a story, and talk about my life a lot, going as far back as my grandfather's generation.

My hometown is in the mountainous area of southern Anhui, a small village, near the gap between Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Grandpa was in his twenties, a diligent and honest man, with good carpentry skills, and opened a coffin shop with the approval of his family in the same year.

During the famine years, I don't know how many people died of hunger, but because my grandfather's carpentry skills were not bad, the family was able to make ends meet.

I was introduced to my grandmother Yang Yulan, and within a few years my grandmother was pregnant, which made my grandfather happy.

After my grandmother became pregnant, my grandfather and grandmother took turns to serve her, and my grandfather worked harder as a carpenter.

Until one day, the sky outside the coffin shop had slowly darkened, but at that time, it was not obvious that it was dark when there was snow outside, and grandpa was taking advantage of the sky to make a pair of longevity materials set in the next village.

Just after brushing the paint on the surface of the coffin, there was a knock on the door with a knock of "knock~knock".

Grandpa saw that there were outsiders in the house, so he hurriedly put down the paint, grabbed the coat next to him and wrapped it, wondering in his heart, who would this point be!

"It's coming~ It's coming, who's coming?" As the wooden door just opened, a cold wind poured straight into the house, and the frozen grandfather shivered.

Grandpa stood at the door, rubbing his hands uncontrollably, stretching his neck to look at the movement outside the door, a figure wearing a red cotton jacket stood outside the door, the person was also wrapped tightly like grandpa, the sky was a little dark and the bag was tight, and the face could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that it was a woman wearing a red cotton jacket.

Seeing this, the grandfather hurriedly said to the man, "Alas! Big girl, what's wrong with you! Come in and talk about something! How cold it is to stand outside! ”。

The woman hurriedly shook her head: No~ No, thank you for your kindness, I want to ask my eldest brother for something.

Grandpa saw that the man had no intention of entering the house, and although he was strange, he didn't ask much, so he had to endure the cold wind and say: Hey! The eldest sister has something to ask for, just say something! Is there no food, I still have some here, you can take it! It's not easy for anyone in this winter!

Grandpa thought that this person was eighty percent here to ask for food, and there was no way for anyone to make this year difficult, so help if you can!

Just as he was about to turn around and get the half of the small bag of coarse grain in the corner, the woman in the red cotton jacket said in a weak voice: No need, big brother, I'm not here to ask for food.

Grandpa froze, thinking in his heart about this cold day, what is the big sister begging! I don't want food, what do I have to ask for in this coffin, and I wondered: "Oh! Okay, what's the big sister to say! ”

The woman in the red cotton jacket stretched out her hand hesitantly and pointed behind her grandfather, who looked back and saw that this! Isn't this my unfinished coffin! Shouldn't there be an accident in this big girl's family to order the coffin!

In his heart, like a grandfather who suddenly figured it out, patted his chest and said: Oops! It turns out that the eldest sister came to order the coffin! Hehe, you've found the right person, I'm one of the best craftsmen here.

Grandpa hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms and handed the booklet in his hand to the woman in the red cotton jacket: Big sister, you see what models are here, there are all kinds of styles, sizes, patterns, and wood, but I don't know what you want.

The woman shook her head, pointed at herself, and said, "Nothing is required, just follow my height."

"Ahh Do it according to your height", it scared my grandfather at the time, what is the situation! It can't be a ghost!

Grandpa was bold, looked up at the woman in front of him, and found that there was nothing abnormal except that his face was a little pale, and he thought that it should be for relatives who were about the same height as her, so he put his mind at ease.

"Trouble big brother is done, help send it to Sanlipo, fifty miles east of Sanli Town, my house is there, you will know when you arrive, this is coffin money, I don't know if it is enough."

Grandpa stretched out his hand and took a look, the good guy is ten pieces of ten, this is a lot of money! But a better coffin doesn't need so much! I just wanted to go back, but I didn't expect that the woman had already stared at the rain and snow and walked out.

Grandpa looked at the eldest sister who was gradually leaving, and he was still thinking that this Sanlipo was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was for a while, so he didn't care! When it was ready, it was good to return the extra money, so he carefully put the unity in his pocket, turned around, packed up his things, closed the door, hummed a small tune, and went home.

When I got home and saw that my grandmother had fallen asleep, I couldn't help but think that the business of the coffin shop was getting better and better, and I could be regarded as holding up a piece of the family sky.

The next morning, when Grandpa was still asleep, Grandma had already gotten up and sat in the yard with a needle and thread to mend her clothes.

At this time, there was an exclamation from the grandmother in the yard, and the sleeping grandfather woke up suddenly and shouted: Yulan, what's wrong? It won't stumble!

Grandpa hurriedly put on his clothes, hurried out of the house, and when he came out of the house, he saw that his grandmother was standing in the yard, staring at a coarse linen dress on the ground.

"What's wrong with you, Yulan, why are you looking at my clothes? It's not a dog's day rat crawling inside to make a nest! ”。

Grandma patted her chest, pointed to the clothes on the ground and said: What kind of rat is a nest, you are drinking and drunk! How did you bring "that kind of money" to the house, it scared me to death.

Grandpa stepped forward to pick up the clothes on the ground suspiciously, patted his thigh and suddenly remembered what happened last night, isn't this pocket the deposit of the host and guest last night! Could it be that his daughter-in-law thinks that the money is not clean.

"Magnolia! Look at your fuss, don't worry! This money is not stolen, nor is it picked up, this is the deposit for a big girl who came to me last night to order a coffin, but it is atmospheric, and it is a hundred yuan as soon as it is shot! Grandpa patted the dust on his clothes with a red face, and his right hand reached into the pocket of his clothes.

When grandma heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly asked: You~ What did you say? Last night's people~ people's deposits.

"That's right! You didn't tell you when you fell asleep last night, before I came back, a big girl came to the shop and asked me to make a coffin, and I was generous, you see if it's not! ”。

Grandpa was talking about it, and he took out the banknotes in his pocket and wanted to show off, but the moment he took out the banknotes, grandpa's eyes widened, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the great unity in his hand also fell.

It turned out that the two "Great Unity" that Grandpa took out of his pocket have changed, and they are no longer Bank of China, but have become a few big characters of heaven and earth.

"Dead man's money, how can this be", grandpa picked up the "dark coin" on the ground with trembling fingers, and asked grandma if anyone had taken his clothes, and when he learned that no one took it, he looked at it again and again, and finally found that this was indeed the dark coin, which was the "great unity" he received last night.

Grandma saw that grandpa looked like he had fallen into an evil spirit, staring stupidly at the dazzling "banknote" in his hand, grandma was afraid that something would happen to grandpa, so she hurriedly ran to call the grandpa next door.

When the grandfather told the grandfather about the coffin he encountered last night, the grandfather took the "dark coin" in his grandfather's hand, and immediately frowned, it seems that his son has met a ghost, and should be entrusted by the ghost, without saying a word, he picked up the grandfather and walked out.

This thing can not be sloppy, it is the so-called troubled times out of the evil ghost, at that time in the middle of the night to meet the ghost, the ghost hit the wall, the ghost on the body, the ghost is more common in rural areas, generally as long as you don't anger those lonely ghosts and wild ghosts will be safe.

But if the ghost comes to ask you to do something, you have to be cautious, it's okay if you don't agree, if you do, don't do it for him, then you're finished, small disasters in this life, big future generations will follow unlucky, so if a stranger comes to you in the middle of the night to ask you for help, you have to pay attention.
