"Alas, when will this rain stop!"
Su Mei stood at the door of the bookstore with her hands behind her back and glanced at the old street, the drizzle was like a hair, the old bluestone slabs were painted gray, and the raindrops were dripping under the eaves on both sides, which seemed a little cold and quiet.
There were a few people reading books in the bookstore, and Su Mei turned around and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and then sat back on the sofa.
"I don't know, it's been raining for three days!"
A middle-aged man reading a book on the side accosted a sentence, he was holding a briefcase in his hand, and the hair on his head was about to fall out, but the person was greeted with a smile.
"It's also strange, the weather shows that there is no rain in the past two days, and the result is also unlucky, just received a few orders, and it rained halfway, this weather forecast is really getting more and more unreliable!"
The man complained.
"By the way, have you encountered any strange things lately?"
I was afraid that the book in my hand was a little boring, so the man took a sip of tea and said something mysteriously.
This question, several other people reading the book on the side also seemed to be interested, after all, what is written in this book is bizarre, how can there be a thrilling real experience.
Su Mei laughed a little, since some strange things happened during the Midyear Festival, the people who read books in this bookstore can always talk about it.
"I'll tell you, I had a strange thing two days ago!"
However, this curiosity is shared by everyone, not to mention that Su Mei used to sort out and collect these, and the days were free, so naturally they also got together and listened.
Seeing that everyone's interest was aroused, the man bowed down slightly and whispered: "Don't hide it from you, the contemptible surname is Li, he is engaged in funeral work, and there are too many rules for us." A few days ago, I received an order, it was to go to the countryside to deal with the funeral of an old lady, hey, you didn't see it, the old lady lying in the ice coffin, the hungry one is called a thin one, it is really like skin and bones, there is no half a catty and eight taels of meat on the body, and the bones can be counted one by one!"
The man drank water, his expression was strange and strange, and he made do with the half-dark sky outside, which brought up the atmosphere.
"Not only is he thin, but he also has bedsores on his body, and at first glance, he is lying sick in bed, one meter five or six tall, shrunk into a ball alive, and people who see it are shocked!"
"The point is, when I went to look, the old lady was still open, her face was blue, her eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were bulging out like frogs!"
Several people gathered together and listened to it with relish, although they were a little nervous in their hearts, but people are like this, the more strange and mysterious things are, the more fascinating they are, listening to them one by one, drinking tea, and staring at the painted face of the man.
"In our business, I'm most afraid of receiving this kind of business, fuck, this is obviously a blind eye, the undertaker who went with me took a look, his face changed, let me inquire in private, and guess what I inquired about?"
"I don't know!"
A little fat man with a schoolbag on his back and a round head and a round head shook his head busily.
"Say it quickly!"
Seeing that the man was appetizing, someone couldn't help but urge.
The man took another sip of tea without hurry, and then continued: "It is said that this old lady is a landlord, although it has declined, but it has also passed down a few things, and she is kind to people on weekdays, and her wife left early, so she is left alone, and she has always lived with her son!"
But the key is that although this son is honest, the wife he can marry is a spicy and mean person, and after he got married, he has been thinking about those ancestral things, and he wants to get his hands on them. The old man also has three daughters under his knees, and he usually comes to take care of them, but in the eyes of their sister-in-law, it seems that he wants to rob something with her, and the eldest son has no opinions, and he can't stand the winds of his wife's pillow several times, and the eyes of his sisters are not right, just like the thief, the result can be imagined, and the brothers and sisters turn against each other!"
"As the saying goes, women are in charge, the house collapses, and what is even more unfortunate is that the old lady had a stroke a few months ago, and after a fall, she has been paralyzed on the bed, and she has to be taken care of by others, but with this matter, the daughter-in-law is even more unscrupulous, and all the relatives and friends who came to visit are locked out!"
"I heard that she was starved to death, and in my opinion, the old lady was also eight or nine years old, and she died for three or four days before she died, and the bed was full of feces and urine, and the pillow was eaten most of it. ”
The man shook his head again and again and sighed.
"Do our business, I haven't seen any death, but that time is really chilling, shocking, now I think of the old lady's appearance, my spine is cold, think about this life, life does not bring, death does not take away, as a result, in the end suffered such a big sin!"
"When I went back to tell the undertaker, they didn't say a word, so they pulled me away, saying that this business was not done!"
As if talking about something scary, the man involuntarily shrank back.
"And you're leaving?"
The little fat man asked nervously.
The man answered, "Uh-huh", his eyes glanced left and right, and he said: "This kind of business can't be done, it's a small blessing, maybe it's gone!"
Just when everyone thought that this story would end here, the man suddenly swallowed his saliva, looked nervous, his face turned pale, and he said in a dumb voice: "But the next day, when I called again, the person who answered the phone was neither the eldest son of that family nor the daughter-in-law there, and the person who answered the phone was an old voice, weak!"
The atmosphere in the bookstore was a little weird, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Two days later, when we go back again, guess what's going on?"
No one answered him.
The man whispered to himself: "The day after we left, the old lady's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all died, and the place where they died was even more strange, they died in the grave pit where the old man was buried.
There was still dead silence in the bookstore, only the girl on the side was holding her mobile phone and playing games, cursing and swearing, and then accosted: "Are they all buried?"
The man nodded, his expression pale and eerie. "When we went again, the old lady not only lay flat, but also closed her eyes, but we did not take this matter, and in the end it was the old lady's uncles and brothers who were buried. ”
After speaking.
"Well, this rain is also light, hehe, the reason why I tell the story is to say, this person's afterlife, it is also very important, this is a contemptible business card, if you need anything in the future, you can find me, mention my name, and give a seven-percent discount!"
The man looked at the rain outside, handed everyone a business card, turned around and walked out quickly, while the little fat man behind him looked disgusted and went out.
But before going out, Xu was in a hurry, and the man almost bumped into someone at the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he hurriedly got into the rain.
It was a girl in a long aqua blue dress, with a sickly face, holding an umbrella, a little unwilling, and she looked around.
"Is Su Mei here?"
