Chapter 11 Burning Paper in the Park
When the bus arrived in Guangzhou, it was almost dark, and the sun was long gone.
It's a good thing for me, I've been exposed to the sun a few times along the way, so I've just hid like that, and when the sun shines, I squat down and tie my shoes, my stomach hurts, I look for something, I use everything.
The drop-off location is not near where I live, and I still need a ride.
I usually take the bus, but I have too much luggage and it is a long way to walk to the bus station, so I simply have the luxury of reaching out and stopping a taxi.
It's not easy for a girl to go out, so if you can, you can help.
After getting out of the taxi, Yuan Yuan said that he wanted to invite me to dinner.
I said don't rush first, put the luggage away and then eat.
She said happily: "Thank you, Brother Chen, you are really my nobleman." ”
I smiled wryly, picked up her large bags of luggage, and entered the urban village where I lived.
There were a lot of people along the way, the environment was dirty and messy, and the air in the alleys was also very bad, so I came to the building where I lived.
Yuanyuan was very excited all the way, and there didn't seem to be any discomfort.
Her requirements were low, so low that she didn't have any requirements, as if she just had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Along the way, he chattered about his vision for the future.
She said that she met a noble person as soon as she went out, and her life would definitely be very smooth in the future.
The reaction made me unconsciously think of Qian Xiaotong, who also came to my rental house twice.
For the first time, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't speak all the way.
The second time I went all the way and complained all the way, I felt like a failure, and I didn't invite her over again.
My room is small, with a bed, a computer base, and a small wardrobe taking up 80% of the space.
After finding a gap in Yuanyuan's luggage and stuffing it in, I said to Yuanyuan:
"Let's go, good man to the end, please have a meal."
Yuan Yuan hurriedly said: "I invite you, Brother Chen, I am too troublesome for you, if you don't let me do something, I will not be able to do anything." ”
I smiled, didn't speak, and led her downstairs to find a very ordinary small restaurant.
The restaurant had fast food and stir-fried food, and instead of ordering fast food, I ordered two stir-fried dishes, and we didn't eat much along the way, and we were all hungry.
I have a lot of rice, and I can add rice for free when I order stir-fried vegetables.
After a meal, we didn't have much communication, and we were always curious to ask questions, as if we wanted to get to know the city again.
I just responded to all her questions.
I thought that I would call the Wizard tomorrow morning, and then go to the Wizard, if it goes well, I can give this house to Yuanyuan to live in first, and I can't return anyway.
After eating, I went to check out, and I rushed to buy it.
I didn't say no, and sometimes it's not a good thing to be too polite.
This would make her feel like a burden, and the meal would not be much anyway.
As soon as she finished settling the bill, Yuanyuan's phone rang, and she sat upright in her chair, as if accepting a task from her boss.
Judging from the content of her answer, it should be the phone number that notified the interview.
After hanging up the phone, she looked very happy, her eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, she shook the mobile phone in her hand and said to me mischievously:
"Brother Chen, I'll go for an interview tomorrow, and if it's successful, I'll treat you to a big dinner."
I nodded and stood up with a smile:
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, let's go back to the rental room and clean up first, you sleep in my room tonight, and I'll go to the Internet café to book the night."
"It's not good, I'd better go to the Internet café."
Yuan Yuan immediately retorted.
......
Back to the rented room, Yuanyuan cleaned up a little and turned around to leave, saying that he was going to the Internet café.
I said, "It's dangerous for you to go out as a girl, it's a mess here, it's messy like you can't imagine." ”
After listening to what I said, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Brother Chen, then I'll go find a guest house to live in first, so you don't have to trouble going to the Internet café."
I pulled open her big bag that looked like a bed sheet and quilt, pulled out the sheets and quilt inside, threw it on the bed, and said to her:
"You put my quilt in the cupboard, lay out your own sheets and quilts, you live here first, I have asked a friend to go to the Internet café to play games all night, today I took a day in the car, you rest early. Something called me. By the way, remember to lock the door. ”
After that, I picked up the paper and pen on the table, wrote a phone number and put it on the table, then turned around and walked out the door.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen......"
A steady stream of voices rang out in the back, but I ignored it and walked down the stairs quickly.
Yuanyuan is a smart person and very adaptable, and should know how to spend her first night in a foreign country.
Instead of going directly to the internet café, I wandered downstairs for a while.
It's still too early, and if you don't get to the night, the cost of Internet access will be relatively high.
Walking out of this urban village, there is a park not far away, where all kinds of people pass by or stay.
Most of them are in love, hugging and hugging and talking about love, and I just want to avoid the love show.
I found a secluded corner and lay on a stone bench.
Started thinking about how I should communicate with the wizard on the phone.
Master Wang said that he had a very strange temper, and that as long as I was sincere, he would help me.
I wanted to call Master Wu directly, but I looked at the time on my phone, and it was already past nine o'clock.
At this time, for young people, the nightlife has just begun, but the wizard is an old man, so he should have already slept.
I looked around boredly, and a girl appeared in my sight.
Dressed in plain white, he squatted in a corner that could only be seen from this place, but it immediately attracted me.
What attracted me to me wasn't because she was beautiful or in good shape, but because she was doing something that I felt was inexplicable.
She was hiding in a corner where it was hard for people to spot, burning paper.
I thought this was a lovelorn girl, burning her past that she wanted to forget, and then take a closer look, no, why did she come here to burn some memories?
Puzzled, I took a few steps forward, and I was still startled when I saw what the girl was holding in her hand.
Because what she was holding in her hand was not a love letter or anything like that, but a yellow piece of paper, which I had seen many times, and which was paper money for burning the dead.
The fact that a girl would go to these places at night to burn paper money made me feel very strange.
I unconsciously walked up to her side and asked softly:
"Pretty girl, what are you doing here?"
The girl, apparently not noticing me, was startled by my greeting, she looked back at me, patted her chest and said:
"You scared me, I thought the park ranger was coming."
Her reaction made me feel very relaxed, she didn't guard against me like a stranger, as if I knew her.
I say:
"I'm not an administrator, I'm just wondering why you're burning paper money here at night."
After the girl was sure that she was not the administrator, she continued to burn the paper money and said:
"I said I burned it to the lonely souls here, do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe it, let's burn it together."
I smiled and crouched down, grabbed a handful of paper money from the black bag and began to burn.
"You're such a strange person."
The girl said as she burned the paper, the orange light of the fire shining on her face looking ruddy.
I burned the paper and asked casually, "Do you also believe in gods?" ”
She nodded and said:
"Sometimes I can see some of them, and I feel that they are very pitiful, so I occasionally come out to burn paper money, hoping to help them."
"Sometimes you can see some tricks?"
I asked in a calm tone, I would have been surprised if I had to do it before.
It's different now, I've seen it, and more than once.
Seeing that my expression was so flat, the girl looked at me suspiciously and asked:
"yes, you can see that too?"
I shook my head and said:
"I don't see them all the time, I've only seen them twice, but I don't feel sorry for them."
One time was the Yu Man on the hotel bed, and the other time was the ghost on the grandmother's grave.
One borrowed my longevity, and the other took the appearance of a grandmother and wanted to lead me to the past.
So I have a very bad impression of the trick, and I can even say that I hate it to the core......
