Although Meng Dongxue's mother's attitude caught my attention, Uncle Meng and Meng Xiaomei didn't notice her strange reaction. So in the following time, I paid extra attention to my words and deeds, and I became a lot more restrained. After dinner, I helped Meng Dongxue's mother wash the dishes in the sink in the corridor, and the two people standing side by side didn't say a word, which felt very strange. So I started looking for a topic to talk to Meng Dongxue's mother.

I said that Meng Dongxue had always been an active member of the propaganda team when she was in the village, she was very helpful, and she was a very nice little girl... But before I finished saying this, Meng Dongxue's mother interrupted me, and then said to me very politely, young man, I know who you are and why you came to my house, Xiaoxue's father doesn't know yet, but I know.

was robbed by my aunt, and I was suddenly speechless for a while, and I didn't know what to say. Aside from my background and profession, I don't actually hide anything. What does Auntie mean by this, and what does it mean to "know who I am"? Do you know my relationship with Meng Dongxue, or do you know that I am a Taoist who lives by the craftsmanship of the dead?

I stopped talking, and although my aunt's tone was very polite, her attitude was still a little cold. My aunt then told me that today our Xiaoxue borrowed a phone from the production team and called me, and she told me that you are actually temporarily living in the house of the family she cut into the queue, you are not from the village, you are a person who catches ghosts and exorcises evil spirits.

I'm also unproductive, and what I didn't say was suddenly revealed by someone, and I began to be at a loss, and the whole person was nervous. So I said hesitantly, Auntie, don't be surprised, I'm also afraid that you don't look down on people like me, so you don't tell the truth...

I didn't finish it again, and was interrupted by my aunt again. She stopped brushing the dishes, then looked at me and said, but I don't understand, my letter to Xiaoxue didn't even mention a word about what happened to our family, how did she know? I was also stunned, so I asked, what do you know? Auntie was also stunned, and then asked, it's Xiaoxue's father's business. I said, isn't Uncle Meng depressed because of work problems? Auntie said yes, but the reason for all this is because Xiaoxue's father bumped into something strange that he couldn't understand!

The more I listened, the more confused I became, so I didn't speak. My aunt asked me suspiciously, "Why, didn't you come here because of this?" I shook my head and said, I don't even know what's going on, why can't I understand the strange thing? Auntie said, Xiaoxue told me on the phone, you are a person who learns Taoism, this time I specially asked you to come to my house to help take care of her father, I thought you were here to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts for him!

I finally understood now, it turned out that my aunt and Meng Dongxue had a misunderstanding on the phone, Meng Dongxue and I were simply here to take care of people, but my aunt felt that Meng Dongxue specially asked me to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts for his father. And listening to Auntie's tone, it seems that Uncle Meng really encountered something, and they also thought that this matter had something to do with ghosts.

It's a bit of a coincidence that a blind cat meets a dead mouse. In addition, I have read the letter written by my aunt to Meng Dongxue before, judging from the words at the end of the article to be the screw on the socialist edifice and so on, my aunt should be a materialist, and my identity should be regarded as a class enemy for them. So I hurriedly said to my aunt, you misunderstood, I came here completely without knowing what happened to Uncle Meng, and I came here to help very simply. I don't see people and say that I will exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, and I also know that in this world, people like us will be excluded and looked down upon.

Later, I began to feel a little uncomfortable. There was a kind of frustration that the hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, so after saying this, I didn't say a word, and continued to silently wash the dishes. I thought that since I couldn't hide it, I just had to be calm, as for whether the Meng family welcomed a god like me, it was not something I could control, so everything would be natural.

Seeing that I continued to silently wash the dishes, my aunt looked at me for a long time, and then suddenly said to me, young man, do you really know how to catch ghosts? I didn't look up, I didn't stop what I was doing, I simply replied: I did. My aunt asked me again, do you really think that there are ghosts in this world? I still didn't stop, and continued to whisper, everyone has a different opinion, personally, it's not that I think there are ghosts, but I know that there are ghosts.

Auntie said, then you can help me analyze and analyze Xiaoxue's father's situation to see if he really hit a ghost. I replied to my aunt that if you reject and don't believe these things from the bottom of your heart, it makes no sense for you to ask me, because you may not believe the answers I tell you based on my experience.

Auntie was silent for a moment and said, I will believe what you said now, and you can also listen to what I say. I turned off the faucet, put down the towel for washing the dishes, and looked at my aunt with my back crossed. I thought to myself, what do you mean to believe, I am a god, should I be inferior to people? But I didn't show it, the other party is Meng Dongxue's mother, and if I don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, I can't do these verbal disputes.

My aunt said to me, you also know, Xiaoxue's father is depressed because of work, but do you know what is wrong with the work? I said I probably knew, as if I had been fired. The aunt nodded and said yes, and the reason for dismissing him was because he was in the unit and told people everywhere that he had seen strange things.

Auntie said that Xiaoxue's father said that a while ago on our railway, the train hit and killed a person, and Xiaoxue's father was at the scene of the accident at that time, and he witnessed the whole pass.

My aunt told me that because the people in this neighborhood are not very well-behaved, and we don't have many trains here, so many people will habitually cross the rails when they go home or wherever they go, and there has never been an accident before, because we are not far from the station, and the train will inevitably slow down during this section of the road, and at this speed, unless it is deliberately lying on the rails, there will generally be no accidents.

The aunt went on to say that Xiaoxue's father was maintaining the railroad tracks on a daily basis that day, and he saw a young man on the opposite side about to cross the railroad from a distance, and the smoke of the locomotive rose from the distance of the tracks, indicating that a train was passing by. So at the beginning of his kindness, Xiaoxue's father said to the young man opposite, let him hurry up, the train is coming. But the young man was not walking alone, and he was carrying an old man on his back.

The distance, which was originally a few meters wide, could easily be crossed by a young man, but just as he reached the middle of the railway, his speed suddenly slowed down. It's as if the old man on his back is very heavy, and the young man can't walk. But in Xiaoxue's father's opinion, that old man is thin and thin, and it is impossible to be so heavy. So the young man walked to the middle of the tracks and began to hold his hands on his knees and gasp. However, at this time, the train was not far from the young man's position, so Xiaoxue's father was a little anxious and shouted loudly, you hurry up! The train is coming!

But the lad was still panting and stood still. The aunt said that Xiaoxue's father has been working on the railroad tracks for half his life, and he is very experienced and sure of such a situation. So he immediately dropped what he was holding, and rushed towards the young man, trying to pull the man over while the train was still some distance away. But he didn't think at all about why the lad suddenly walked to the middle of the tracks, his steps became heavy, and he began to gasp. Xiaoxue's father was in better health, and quickly ran to the young man's side, reaching out to pull the young man, but as soon as his hand grabbed the young man, there was a cold feeling, and the young man's body suddenly became as heavy as a stone. I tried hard a few times but couldn't pull it, and at this time, when Xiaoxue's father anxiously shouted that the young man also moved his steps, he looked up and saw the young man's appearance.

My aunt dried her hands, crossed her hands over her chest, and even shrugged her shoulders, and I knew that behind this action, it meant that she thought of something that scared her. This is also the strange thing about me, some people keep saying that they are materialists, but they are afraid to death of those absurd ghosts and gods.

The aunt went on to say that Xiaoxue's father saw the young man and the young man's sad old man at that time, both of them were green-skinned and green-faced, but their lips were red and black, their eye sockets were deep-set, with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and all four eyes were staring at him.

Xiaoxue's father began to realize that something was wrong at this time, why did these two people look so terrible, could it be that they had encountered a ghost. So I wanted to let go of the hand that grabbed the young man, but at this time, I found that my hand was grabbed by the young man.

So Xiaoxue's father began to struggle, but he couldn't break free, and his desperately shaking hand couldn't even pull the young man's arm. Seeing that the train is getting closer and closer, if he doesn't break free, even if the speed is not fast, I am afraid that he will be hit and killed. In a hurry, Xiaoxue's father suddenly retracted his hand, and retracted his hand into his sleeve, and then quickly took off the other sleeve, and at the last moment, he finally took off his clothes, and then staggered to the back, and fell on the other side of the tracks.

The aunt stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, looked at the unwashed dishes in the sink, and said in a slightly trembling voice, but when he calmed down and looked back, after the train had passed through, he found that the two people, one old and one with a small iron face, were standing in the middle of the tracks, looking at him.
