Chapter 4: The Night of the Soul
The man trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out a voice like phlegm stuck in his throat: "Mom... Mom, how are you..."
"You hemp paraffin! But that's okay, I put a resurrection armor on her, so she's alive again! β
Jiang said sheepishly.
He didn't know the address of the deceased, but with the help of the wooden fish dropped by the monk, he succeeded in calling out the ghost of the deceased by adding the name of the deceased during the chanting, and after trying to tell the ghost that he needed to find the ring, the ghost acted on its own.
Jiang Kai followed all the way here.
When she found out that the ghost came to her house at all, Jiang Kai's lungs were about to explode.
What does this mean? This means that the ring is at home at all, and it has not been brought to the funeral home at all, and it has never been touched by itself, so how can it be stolen?
It is clear that this family of thieves shouts to catch thieves and wants to blackmail themselves.
Originally, he wanted to take a video as evidence and find the ring from their house on the spot, but seeing that the man was still so unrelenting and unreasonable, he couldn't help it anymore.
Don't pretend! I'm in a showdown! Not only did I steal your mother's tribute, I even brought your mother!
"Auntie, go and see where your ring is."
As soon as the words ended, the ghost also took action.
It doesn't matter if he moves, but the man who was still lucky was scared enough.
As soon as the ghost moved, the sweltering heat of the summer night vanished without a trace, replaced by a biting cold.
Looking at the old lady's ghost's gray-white face, sluggish expression, and stiff movements, the man shouted as if he had taken a fake medicine:
"Really? It's true! Yes!!! Mother! Why did you come out?! β
The man screamed and ran backwards like crazy, not knowing what he had tripped, and fell so hard that he didn't have time to care about the pain, so he got up again, rushed into the toilet, and slammed the door shut.
The woman who heard the noise came out of the door of the little boy's bedroom to check, and happened to meet the ghost of the old lady.
Compared with men, she was even more unbearable, her eyes rolled white, she snorted, and fell directly to the ground in a daze.
The little boy poked out half of his head, first saw Jiang Kai leaning on the door frame, tilting his head to look at it with relish, and then saw the ghost of the old lady in front of him.
After Jiang Kai's personal test, the ghost of the old lady does not pose the slightest threat to the living except for being scary, which he has already tested with a little deflated person who stole money from a blind beggar's bowl on the road, so he is not worried about any problems, at most it is a psychological shadow, but then again, in this era of rampant jade disease, who has no psychological problems?
So it's not a big problem.
Jiang Kai has never seen a little boy, but this does not prevent him from continuing to act, if he is spoiled because he is still a child, then such a child is destined to be a relative failure in the future.
To Jiang Kai's surprise, the little boy was not frightened, but pouted and cried sadly.
"Grandma, did you come to see me?"
He rubbed his red eyes and stretched out his other hand to grab the sleeve of the old lady's ghost.
He didn't seem to know it was a ghost, or rather, even if it was, he wanted to touch it without hesitation.
What surprised Jiang Kai even more was that the ghost, which was like a robot along the way and would only move when giving orders, raised his hand stiffly and grabbed towards the little boy.
Jiang Kai was startled and immediately stepped forward to stop him, but as soon as he raised his leg, he retracted it again.
Because the old lady's ghost just put her hand on the little boy's head and stroked it slowly, and that's it.
"Grandma..."
The little boy sobbed silently, took out a ring from his pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to the old lady:
"Are you here to get your ring back? I just want to think of you often, Mom and Dad won't let me go out and say, I'm really, really still an honest child, don't be angry..."
Jiang Kai looked at this scene with a complicated expression, then sighed, saved the video on his mobile phone, and greeted: "Let's go." β
As soon as the words fell, the old lady's ghost withdrew her hand and left with Jiang Kai.
It's as if the warmth just now was just an illusion, and it was still the ghost of the wooden machine.
"Grandmaβ"
The boy fell to his knees and began to cry.
Jiang Kai, who had already walked to the elevator, paused and returned to the door.
"Your grandmother said that as long as you are honest and always a good child, she will come to see you."
With that, he gently closed the door, not caring if the little boy had anything else to say.
It's not so much that he didn't give the little boy a chance, but that he didn't want to listen to it.
For Jiang Kai, who was unfamiliar with all this, it was just adding to his troubles.
When he came to the gate of the community, Jiang Kai looked back at the old lady with a dull face, took out the wooden fish, and recited the mantra of death.
"If there really is Elysium, at least you can be full of joy when you have the opportunity to meet your grandson, so that he will not be too sad."
With the sound of wooden fish and chanting, the old lady's ghost gradually disappeared and finally disappeared in place.
The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and just when Jiang Kaizheng was sighing that he was really a good person, he heard someone upstairs pushing open the window and scolding the street: "You knock on your mother, you wait, I'll come down and kill you!" β
Jiang Kai's face suddenly darkened.
This is tantamount to being immersed in the aftertaste after taking glue during online classes in home isolation, but suddenly being named by the teacher to answer the question, which is even more disgusting than finding a lump of mouse feces wrapped in maggots when drinking soup!
It is true that Jiang Kai was at fault in the first place, and he shouldn't have made noise at night, but hasn't this stopped? Besides, civilized society, is this the reason for your wild words? Can't you just talk well?
It's used to seeing it, and it hasn't been beaten by society!
Jiang Kai squinted and counted the floors of the people who opened the window, then took a deep breath and yelled with all his strength: "The wife of the 302 eldest brother in unit 1 is cheating on her!" The child is not his! He's a cuckold slave! The single men in our community are blessed and spicy! β
After shouting, he ran, and the whole action was done in one go.
Originally, the social brothers who were just idle and wanted to pretend to beep in front of their wives and children were stupid, but now people are not only so rigid, but they can even open their mouths to splash dirty water?
Don't even think about it, a unit 302 will definitely be remembered by the people in the community forever.
In fact, the lights of dozens of hundreds of households turned on in an instant, and they began to ask each other on the windowsill which ruthless person lived in Unit 302.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, but Jiang Kai is the only one who hides his merits and fame...
When he returned home, the first thing Jiang Kai did was to go to the Buddha statue enshrined at home to confess.
But this Buddha statue is a little different from the Buddha statue outside, because his right hand is not in the shape of a flower, but is comparing a six, and the Buddha who is obviously solemn in the treasure is actually showing the same smile as Maitreya Buddha.
After repeating the act of splashing dirty water, Jiang Kai looked at the Buddha statue sincerely.
"Buddha, I regret that I made the mistake of not speaking to the monks, if you forgive me, you can deduct six and laugh with me."
Then Jiang Kai nodded reverently: "I understand, Amitabha, I will increase my efforts in the future!" β
After doing all this, Jiang Kai finally ended his daily Buddhist practice, and then he first edited the video taken from the old lady's house, took out the little boy's ring, and sent it to the head of the funeral home that everything was slandered by the deceased's family.
"You should trust me now."
After making sure that everything had been arranged, he finally took out the great book of Samata that the monk had left him from his bosom and studied it seriously.
The more he looked at it, the more shocked Jiang Kai's expression became.
Although it is only a one-word difference, compared to those Buddhist scriptures that specialize in samatha, this great samatha can't even understand a word.
Just when he thought that this was some kind of treasure heavenly book, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had found something.
"Grass, take it the other way around."
