Huangzhuang — People who don't want to leave 2
"Village Chief" Shi Hui looked at him and suddenly smiled, and said, "Don't tell me, it was Jiang Nian Tuomeng who told you that I came here today."
Village Chief Fu nodded, "Whether you believe it or not, it's indeed him."
Shi Hui "......."
"Then you know what I do, and you know what I'm here for, right?" Shi Hui asked
"Jiang Nian told me, when the boss is in trouble, I will talk to the villagers about the remuneration, and I will settle it for you according to the quantity"
Shi Hui immediately refused, saying, "Brother Jiang and there is no honorarium, I have promised him, it's free"
"No, no, no" Village Chief Fu smiled, "This is not good, after all, Boss Shi is in business, how can he work voluntarily, the reason why Jiang Nian told you that there is no remuneration is that he thinks that our village has no money, but the economy has been much better in the past two years."
Shi Hui frowned, remembering the small mud house on the side of the road, the villagers wrapped in old cotton clothes and sallow-faced, shook his head and said, "Forget the village chief, I really don't need it, the villagers keep the money and live by themselves."
"Rice, flour, oil and medicine are all distributed by the state, and everyone has living expenses, but the hearts of these people have collapsed into ruins, and they have no desire for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they can't think of spending money when they throw it at home and climb ants" Fu Village Chief's face was heavy and he said:
"After having money, I found that there are many things that are more terrible than poverty, alas"
After a sigh, neither of them spoke again, and Shi Hui didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, since they had already learned everything from Jiang Nian, then there was no need for her to mention it again, one old and one young looked at the warm sun on the door frame at the same time, and when they were talking, the door frame had been sprinkled with sunlight, and it was soft as if it was a layer of gold.
After sitting at the village chief's house for a while, the two of them stood up and walked towards a family in the village.
"There used to be six people in this household" Village Chief Fu walked in front to lead the way, turned around and introduced the situation to Shi Hui, saying, "But now there is only one left"
"Only one of the six people left?" Shi Hui was a little surprised, and followed cautiously, except for the asphalt on the main road in the village, the rest of the village was still land, full of mud.
Village Chief Fu stretched out his hand and pulled Shi Hui and jumped over a small puddle.
"About ten years ago, a group of people came to the village, organized everyone to sell blood to make money, many people participated, the sanitary conditions were very simple, they simply set up tents in the cornfield, a few people did not even have a white coat, at that time everyone was too poor, selling blood once can eat a few days of full food, sell a few more times, the child's tuition fee is there, almost the whole village participated, and later found out that 80% of the people were replaced with this disease, since then, the village began to die one after another, at most one death a week, Look over there—"
The village chief of Qi stopped, pointed to the fields not far away, and Shi Hui looked over, one by one, the mounds of soil.
"There is no grain in the field over there now, all of them are buried with people, and I and Jiang Nian's hair were buried there, and we were just buried a few years ago."
Following the direction of his finger, Shi Hui saw a brand-new tomb.
The two of them continued to walk forward,
"The family I am going to now is the first person to be found to be sick, the old couple plus the son and daughter-in-law all participated in the blood sale, and the four people were diagnosed one after another, and the daughter-in-law was already pregnant with a small one in her belly at that time, and five of the six members of the family are gone, and now there is only a teenage child left."
"What about this kid?"
"The child is almost 18 years old this year, he is fine and healthy"
Shi Hui nodded,
"However, within a few years, the family has all left one after another, and he is the only one left, this child has some psychological problems, he stays in the house all day and does not go out, and he does not even receive things sent by the government, and the staff send them to his home."
"18 years old? Did you go to school? Shi Hui asked
"After graduating from high school and dropping out of school, their family pays great attention to their children's education, they just wanted him to study hard, and in order to make up for his tuition, his mother went to sell blood for money with a big belly, but it turned out like this!"
"So what are we going to do this time?"
"His family has left, but the ghost refuses to leave at home, his little sister died last year, and his parents also died the year before last, maybe he can't rest assured, and all of them have been guarding him"
If a living person is surrounded by ghosts for a long time, they will slowly lose their popularity, and their spirits will not be able to stand it for a long time.
"I look at this child, his spirit is not as good as day by day, his complexion looks worse than that of a sick person, there is a daily improvement in the house, I came to a trip two days ago, he ignored me, and sat in the house by himself to burn paper money"
"Burn paper money, why do you burn paper money at home for the Chinese New Year?" Shi Hui frowned and asked
"That's right, I asked him too" Village Chief Fu suddenly stopped and pointed to the two-story building in front, "That's it, I said that if you send money to your family, you will go to the grave and leave the house to burn something, but guess what he said?" He said that his family was sitting next to him, so he didn't have to go that far."
"Sitting at home? Can he see? ”
Village Chief Fu shook his head, "I don't know if I can see it, how can I see it!" I think this kid was stunned, anyway, I was scared enough at the time, and when I came back, I was lying on the bed and was weak, and I saw Jiang Lai in a trance, so I told him, he didn't say anything at the time and disappeared, and last night he said that he had found me a master who could solve the problem, and let me go to the village today to continue, so that I would be entertained."
So that's what happened,
"I may not know this one reason" Village Chief Fu looked at the two-story building in front of him and said, "The one I just told you about was small, and he left a few years ago, this is this disease, and the ghost is also unwilling to leave, alas"
"Let's go, let's go to this house first"

As soon as she approached, Shi Hui felt that something was wrong, and when she looked up, on the balcony on the second floor, a woman about forty years old was holding the hand of the little girl next to her, looking straight down, Shi Hui looked at them, the three of them looked at each other, and then, the woman took the little girl with the same expressionless face and turned around and entered the house.
Village Chief Fu knocked on the door again, and the door opened.
A young man with messy hair covering his eyes showed his head, his eyes were blurred, his beard was unkempt, and he was wearing a thick cotton coat of unknown color, maybe dark brown or black, and when he saw the village chief, he immediately frowned, and the disgust and irritability in his eyes were undisguised, "Uncle Fu, why are you here again!" Can you leave me alone! The voice was hoarse, waiting for an impatient tone.
"Whatever you want? I don't care who cares about you! Village Chief Fu's eyes widened, and he pushed open the half-hidden iron door, "Get out of the way, I'm waiting for guests today."
"Guest??" Only then did the young man notice the wisdom around him,
