Chapter 296: Your Dad Is Too Bad! (4,000 words)
"Hey, why did he run away?"
"Didn't you see us?"
"No, see?"
"I don't think I saw it......"
The two ghost pawns exchanged glances with each other, a little unsure.
After all, they are all hiding their bodies now and not revealing them, and it stands to reason that ordinary people can't see them.
And because they didn't pay for each other's bus just now, they were a little bit bad, so they thought about politely waving and thanking them.
As a result, the driver turned pale with fright like a ghost, and increased the accelerator as if he was running away.
Make them confused.
I didn't know that after today, there was a strange urban legend that was about to start spreading in the bus world......
But this was just a small episode, they didn't pay much attention to it, and turned around to let Liu Changgen, who was already looking forward to it, walk in front and lead the way, and walked into the residential building where he lived before his death.
The corridor is very old but very clean, and it can be seen that someone should be cleaning it often.
However, the paint on the handrails of the corridor has also been mottled, and a piece can be peeled off with a tear.
Even the lamp above his head was a little dim.
And when the ghost pawn and others walk by, they will be affected and flicker twice inexplicably.
When I arrived at the door, I could see that it was obvious that the funeral had not been done for long, and the white lanterns hanging at the door had not been removed, and they looked a little gloomy under the dim corridor lights, so that the occasional passers-by here were a little taboo, and they had to walk far away.
Liu Changgen looked at the familiar doorway, his heart was excited, and he walked up without waiting for the ghost pawn to speak.
The security door was tightly locked, but the soundproofing was not good, and a slightly noisy noise could be faintly heard coming from inside.
Liu Changgen subconsciously wanted to knock on the door, but as soon as his palm touched it, he passed it directly, and then he realized his ghost identity, and his face couldn't help but darken.
But just then, the door opened from the inside on its own.
A middle-aged man with glasses and a little bald, with facial features somewhat similar to Liu Changgen, was wearing a shirt with a button off, holding a few candles in his hands, as if he was planning to go outside and light them.
And there was a somewhat spicy woman's voice in the room.
"Who is the house that your dad left behind? Come back to me, something that doesn't come out of nowhere, and I can't hold back a fart for a long time......"
"Don't try to make excuses with candles, people have been dead for days, what's the use of lighting a candle! You see that everyone else is already looking for a lawyer to prepare for a lawsuit, and they don't even look here, you waste is thinking about these things, you don't give me an answer today, you just wait......"
Then a timid voice of a somewhat crisp teenager came.
"Mom, don't be angry, grandpa knows that he doesn't want us to make trouble like this......"
The woman took a breath, still a little unwilling and said: "Son, you are still young and ignorant, but your father is too cowardly, so he will be bullied by those uncles and uncles!" You see, now your grandfather's funeral is all done by him, and the others came out to take a look when the hospital announced his death, and he never even came here! ”
"Now, all of them are over there to make wills and rob money, and your father is still stupid not to fight or rob, and he still sticks the money and goes out by himself......"
The man outside the door let out a long sigh, of course he heard the words of his wife and children behind, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it.
Maybe it's true that he's a little stupid, but he still can't worry about the funeral here.
The funeral has been almost done, and there are still many of my father's relics in this old house, according to the rules handed down by my grandfather's generation, it will take at least seven days to dispose of them.
In this way, it will not be infected with bad luck, and it can be regarded as the last bit of filial piety to the deceased.
And tonight is the seventh day.
Perhaps today, this old house will also be counted as part of the inheritance, and it will be disputed.
In fact, if he hadn't adhered to those old rules, I'm afraid someone would have come to the door to rob the house.
And all he can do is fulfill the last bit of responsibility.
He walked to the corner of the hallway, then lit the incense and candles, and after placing them in the corner of the wall, he bowed with his hands together and muttered quietly.
"Dad, go all the way. If you have knowledge, it's best to bless your precious grandson with a smooth high school entrance examination next year, and then let us make a little money......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I'm really a fool, and I really believe that my dad will become a ghost.
In fact, what he didn't know was that when he lit the incense candle, Liu Changgen, who was talking about his mouth, was standing behind him.
Liu Changgen looked at his little son with a touched face, in the end, this child is more sensible and filial, no wonder he can teach that lovely grandson.
Suddenly, he heard a ghost on the side urging: "There is incense, don't you want it?" ”
Liu Changgen came back to his senses after realizing it, followed the gaze of the ghost pawn, and saw the wisps of smoke floating away from the incense candle.
And inside was mixed with a trace of extremely subtle pale yellow aura, which made him stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted, hurriedly took two steps forward, and took a bite hard!
"It smells so good!"
He looked shocked, but still a little nostalgic.
After the smoke entered the body along the nasal cavity, there was no choking feeling or graininess, but it made him comfortable and warm, as if he had taken a warm bath!
At the same time, he also looked down and saw that there was a number on his prefectural ID card that was beating, gradually changing from 0 to 0.5, and there was a certain improvement.
"Is this the legendary incense?!"
He shouted incredulously, but he continued to smoke the incense greedily.
It's just that there is a side effect in this way-
The flame on the incense candle gradually grew larger, and it burned faster and faster, far better than before, and in a blink of an eye, only half of it was burned!
And the man, after babbling for a while, was about to bow his head and blow out the flames, but he was dumbfounded.
It's only been a long time, and in less than a few minutes, this incense candle is about to burn out?!
"What the hell, this must be fake!" The man cursed in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.
I'm going to go to the store that sold him these things tomorrow and ask for an explanation.
This is something for the deceased, how can you even feel like cutting corners here, aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night?
He didn't see that the smoke from the incense candles did not drift away with the wind, but as if it had been intercepted by something out of thin air, it disappeared directly in mid-air, without the slightest strange smell.
It's very different from before.
But now he didn't notice these details.
After scolding and extinguishing the incense candle, he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and walked towards the house.
And just as he was about to enter the door, his body suddenly trembled, as if something touched his shoulder, and he turned his head suspiciously, but saw nothing.
The two ghost guards also escorted Liu Changgen and walked in directly.
The house is not very spacious, at most eighty or ninety square meters, and on a bookshelf in the living room is a black and white portrait of Liu Changgen, and two electric white candles that do not need to be lit are very perfunctory in front of the photo frame.
It seems that he wants to use this to fool the past, and I don't know whether to fool himself or Liu Changgen underground.
It's a little speechless to watch.
Liu Changgen floated over tentatively and wanted to take a big puff of incense, but he didn't smell anything.
These are just two toys.
At this time, a round woman was sitting on the sofa with some tattered skin in the living room, as if she was still a little unwilling.
"When will we take the initiative to grab the inheritance? Instead of hiding here and doing these meaningless things......"
Next to him sat a teenager in a blue and white school uniform, trying to comfort his mother with his simple life experience.
Of course, little success.
Seeing that the middle-aged man walked in again, the woman immediately crossed her waist and stood up and scolded rudely.
"I still know how to come back! Hey, did you hear what I just told you? Hurry up and grab it with your relatives tomorrow, you can't all cheapen those white-eyed wolves! ”
The man was silent, but silently returned to the statue on the shelf, and then bowed down three times.
"What are you doing? Did I just talk to you, did you hear me? The woman shouted.
The man took a deep breath, he was in a very bad mood, and he just wanted to turn his head to quarrel with his wife, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the portrait, which seemed to be a little wrong.
"Huh?"
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look closely, a little incredulous.
He just ......
I seem to see the face inside the portrait and smile at him?!
But when he looked closely, he didn't notice anything unusual.
And at this time, the lights in the room suddenly flickered.
One light and one darkness not only surprised the wife and children, but the face on the portrait also looked particularly terrifying and gloomy under this light.
"This old house really has a bad circuit, is there a short circuit somewhere?" The woman's voice was obviously not as strong as it was just now, but swallowed her saliva, hugged the child tightly, and said loudly.
The man hurried up to check on the situation, but he didn't see much wrong.
At this time, Liu Changgen looked at the familiar scene in the house, and his heart was moved for a while, and finally he couldn't help but cautiously ask the ghost pawn who escorted him.
"Two adults, you see that these children of mine are still so incompetent, can you give me a chance to show my spirit, so as not to know what troubles will happen later."
He bowed slightly and said with some shame, obviously deeply ashamed that he had not been able to teach the child well, and he was also embarrassed that he had this somewhat rude daughter-in-law in front of outsiders.
The ghost pawns glanced at each other, and they were a little unsure.
After all, if you really soften and let him make a move, isn't it like a ghost disrupting the order of yin and yang?
But before I came, the bosses didn't seem to emphasize that this kind of thing should not be done......
Just as they were swaying, suddenly a dull male voice full of majesty came from afar: "Let him go." ”
Their breath froze instantly.
They can also be regarded as working in the City God Temple, and they naturally know the top boss "City God Lord" very well, and they have heard him speak, and his voice is completely the same!
"Lord Chenghuang is here!"
They reacted immediately, and were glad they hadn't made any jokes before.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky.
They didn't dare to look around at will, for fear that they would be so frightened that they were about to faint when they saw the face of the city god.
But fortunately, the current choice difficulty has been solved.
They nodded lightly at Liu Changgen, which was regarded as an endorsement of his actions.
"Thank you, two adults!"
Liu Changgen smiled, and then turned his head to look at a few people in his house.
"Bang!"
I don't know which line I touched during the maintenance, and in an instant the electricity in the whole house was gone, leaving only the darkness inside the house.
"Damn, didn't it trip!" The man couldn't sit still either.
However, he just wanted to get up and check again, but he inadvertently glanced at the location of the door, and sometime there was a slightly blurred figure.
He subconsciously thought that his son was running around, and after greeting him angrily and asking him to sit down, he suddenly found that his son and wife were sitting on the sofa in front of him.
In an instant, the cold hair stood up!
Who is the man standing by the door?
Thief? Bandit? Still is......
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment, and his first reaction was to pick up the nearest fruit knife in his hand, and tremblingly held it in his hand and pointed it at the black shadow at the door.
"You...... Who are you? How did you get in! Hurry up and get out of here, or I'll call the police! ”
At this time, the woman and the child also noticed the black shadow, and immediately hugged each other in fear and hid behind the man's back.
But the threat doesn't seem to be working.
The dark shadow approached quickly, constantly challenging their psychological defenses.
However, at this moment, the curtains were slightly fluttering by the wind, and several rays of light from the outside shone in, allowing them to fully see the appearance of the dark shadow in front of them.
"Dad?"
"Grandpa?!"
All three were dumbfounded.
The man, in particular, couldn't close his mouth, as if he could stuff a big light bulb.
The familiar facial features and expressions of the figure in front of him were so familiar, he had been watching them for decades, and it was absolutely impossible to be wrong!
That must be his dad!
But after thinking of this, a chill hit him in his heart, and when he looked at the other party's kind and kind face, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Others don't care, but he saw his father's body being sent to the incinerator in the crematorium, and even later when he needed the help of relatives to pack the ashes.
There can be no fake!
So what's going on with this person in front of you?
Could it be that Dad has come back to life?!
At this moment, the sharp-eyed young man behind him shouted: "Grandpa, why is there no shadow on your ground!" ”
The man hurriedly looked down, and when he saw that it was indeed the case, he was horrified in his heart.
He was so nervous that his body was trembling, and he quickly pulled the hands of his wife and children beside him, and then knelt down first, kowtowed to Liu Changgen, and shouted tremblingly.
"Dad, we are all your relatives! If you become a ghost, even if you want to find someone to take revenge or find a stand-in or something, don't ask us to do it! Just for the sake of my funeral without merit and hard work......"
