Chapter one hundred and seventy [Case 21] Fujian employees

As a matter of fact, we know that when there is water in a dark and light environment, no matter whether the water is clean or dirty, some bacteria will always breed because of humidity, and these bacteria may eventually become slippery, like moss, but not plant matter, and they will fall in price with each other and then produce a huge area. Although I am not very clear about the principle of this phenomenon, I have always known that if I walk in places with water, especially those where there is water for a long time, I will be careful or I will slip.
The reason why these things are not different is that Teacher Yang’s answer let me quickly connect these two things. Because ghosts belong to yin and yin is easy to gather in humid environment, these dark and humid places become the best hiding places when ghosts want to hide. This can also explain why some workers turned to see which old woman that night, but they suddenly disappeared. At the same time, it can also explain why when Hu Zongren and I checked this area just now, the reaction here would be stronger than other places.
So I squatted down and dug a little bit with my finger, and then I leaned over my nose and smelled it. It was hard for me to form that smell, which was fishy, a bit like the smell of water in a fish tank, but at the same time it was mixed with a kind of water that had been deposited for a long time and produced a bad smell. My fingers were muddy, which must be the residue in all the sewage water in this area. I wiped my fingers and put the compass to the side, which proved it. I guess these black mud here reacted much better than the surrounding areas if ghosts didn’t enter and exit the passage. It must be their hiding place. Although I haven’t detected the message that ghosts are in this room at the moment, I know they must be around and they know we are coming.
I told Hu Zongren the result. Now the environment is relatively sealed. If there are ghosts coming in and out, my compass will send me a message. Although I think they are watching us out of sight at the moment, they deliberately don’t let me notice it. So Hu Zongren told me, let’s do what we did in the previous office. You tied the rope array, I posted a sign and I nodded. It seems that this method is the most reliable at present. If ghosts are as I expected, at least they can be trapped here. We won’t run around for a while, and when Hu Zongren and I are driven away, we also know where it will hide. Besides, even if I guess wrong, ghosts are not in this environment at the moment, then we can at least stop them from coming back here again, which also narrows the scope of investigation for us.
So I told Mr. Yang that I’m afraid you should leave this area tonight. We should do something about it. If someone comes from outside, it’s easy to let people out. Mr. Yang seems that he can’t make this decision yet. So he intends to make a phone call to ask his boss. From the tone of his words, it seems that the boss has lost his temper at him, but he finally agreed that Mr. Yang has been talking in a passive Nuo Nuo-pleasing tone and the process is Mandarin. When he hangs up, Hu Zongren suddenly smiles and asks him why your boss has been in Chongqing for so long and can’t speak Sichuan dialect. Teacher Yang said that our boss didn’t come here. He was stationed here. Although Chongqing, he didn’t often come to the supermarket. Hu Zongren said that Fujian people don’t seem to be used to living here.
Hu Zongren suddenly seemed to wake me up when he said this, but I was not sure, so I asked Hu Zongren what you just said? Hu Zongren stupidly replied, What did I say? His boss can’t speak Sichuan dialect? I said it wasn’t the last sentence of this sentence, and Hu Zongren said that I said that Fujian people are not used to it.
I snapped my fingers and said that I finally guessed what this clue we know at present would be more or less directly connected with the warehouse on the first floor of the basement. Everyone looked at me in wonder, so I compared my hands with a basin gesture and told them that the reason was the brazier on the stairs!
At first, on the way to the building office, I smelled something burning and left a smell. After that, Gu Nian in the office visited them once. On the way back to the office, three people witnessed the phenomenon of ghosts surrounding the brazier. At that time, I had already guessed that the brazier would be closely related to the appearance of these ghosts. Hu Zongren and I also waited for these people to discuss this matter in the office, because many ordinary people seemed that the brazier had to make a fire in several ways or burn paper and incense sticks. Both of them were very normal, but although the weather in Chongqing was very cold, there was no need to make a fire in the city. If he is a tramp, this supermarket estimates that he can’t get in at all, so this may be new and almost impossible.
Then there is another possibility. Someone burned money, paper, incense sticks here and attracted ghosts. But for what purpose, who would choose to burn paper here? When I thought of this, I immediately asked Teacher Yang how long it had been since this brazier appeared in the corridor. Teacher Yang thought for a while and said that it seemed that the corridor was quite clean not long ago, but later I don’t know who put a brazier here, but everyone didn’t take it seriously. It was about a month or so. I asked Teacher Yang if it was before or after the first haunted.
Teacher Yang saw that my expression was a little serious, so he also thought about it seriously. It seemed that it was before that, when I was at work one day, I found that there was an extra brazier there, and I learned a few days later that we had employees hitting ghosts here.
Well, I’ve made it clear that up to now, I’ve basically confirmed one thing, that is, those ghosts just woke up because someone burned something in a pot. I said, Hu Zongren still doesn’t understand how I connected all this, so I explained to him that you should not forget who their boss is. Maybe I asked Mr. Yang in the wrong way. After Hu Zongren was stunned for a long time, who was your boss? What’s your name? Teacher Yang also suddenly answered honestly that Hu Zongren’s surname is Chen Moumou.
I rolled my eyes and said to Hu Zongren, the point is not what his name is. He can call any name he wants. The key is where he comes from. Hu Zongren thought about it and said that he was from Fujian. What’s the matter? I said that this supermarket was originally from Fujian, and the boss and senior management were all from Fujian. Can’t you think of anything? Hu Zongren suddenly realized that you mean Fujian people believe in this! I slapped Hu Zongren with a thumbs-up and said in my heart, you are finally ignorant.
This is true in many places in our country, such as Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian. These places are originally coastal and the cultural atmosphere is relatively closer to the Southeast Asian style. For example, most people in Guangdong worship Buddhism and regard this worship as a living habit, and there are many people in Fujian. These coastal places are deeply influenced by Mazu culture, and then there is a relatively strong Xinyang atmosphere for Buddhism and Taoism. Both Guangdong and Fujian have second to none masters, and these. Over the years, the prestige of the people has been extremely high, which has led to a large number of supporters and followers behind them. Since ancient times, these places have been regarded as the strongest and strongest religious atmosphere in China. It is true that the boss of Fujian has set up a supermarket. If someone burns incense and worships Buddha according to local customs, it will not be strange at all.
However, this is still my guess that needs to be confirmed. I have to ask Mr. Yang to get scolded again and help me call my boss. If the boss says that no one burns incense, then we have to start the investigation from other places. But after calling which boss, Mr. Yang got the news that the company has a special delivery driver who is a Fujian driver. The company is mainly responsible for deploying seafood to the warehouse, and in addition, he burns incense and paper money for the local land god for the boss after closing every day.
Teacher Yang told me that this employee knows himself, but it’s the first time that he has this part-time job. I heard that Teacher Yang looked at me with admiration. I know that my wonderful guess just now must have deeply touched him. If he were a woman, I very much doubt that he would jump on me directly, so I dumped me and said to Teacher Yang, Why don’t you call one of your Fujian colleagues quickly? Ask him personally. It’s been so many years since I found out what supermarket it is. It happened that he only burned the brazier in this corridor for more than a month recently. If you can ask him by the way, if he used to burn a brazier before, but it was not discovered by an old employee like you, then he must have another brazier burning place. You have to help me find out where he burned the brazier before.
Teacher Yang saw that my eyes were flashing, thinking that it was probably something we had done near the end, so he went to Hu Zongren in high spirits. He touched my back slightly and then honestly, did you realize that something was more wrong?
I didn’t say anything but nodded my head.
Chapter one hundred and seventy-nine [Case 21] Corridor
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the real customs and habits, but recently many things have come so suddenly that I have to think about some simple things to a complex level. Hu Zongren knows me better, and he knows that things are definitely not that simple. At the very least, it is very abnormal for that Fujian colleague to transfer the brazier to the corridor end to end.
Why do you say that? Generally speaking, we will find a spacious place to burn incense and worship Buddha, and invite all the gods to do business. However, the corridor is small, dark and airtight, which seems to be doing something in secret. This can’t achieve the purpose of worshipping God at all. The owner of this supermarket will not agree. Although I am sure that it is really this Fujian employee who did this, I think if it is really him, there must be a compelling reason for this reason. No one knows what the motivation is.
Teacher Yang stepped aside to talk, but I didn’t hit the phone. I heard Teacher Yang talking to them. Well, I didn’t guess at all. After Mr. Qian Yang hung up, he told me that the Fujian employee said that burning incense every day was behind the innermost corner outside the warehouse on the first floor, because that place was not easy to be found. Adding incense to the first floor is also the entrance and exit of goods in this supermarket, which is called "financial road". It means asking the gods to help pave the way for financial resources, but it was a simple custom, but it caused trouble The Fujian employee said that he had several conflicts with a residential building there after burning incense because of different customs and habits, saying that it was unlucky to burn incense at the entrance of the corridor. Later, he was smashed by the building when he burned paper. When he went to burn paper again the next day, he found that the brazier was kicked over by those residents, thinking that the neighbors didn’t want to change places, so he changed the place to the stairs.
I shook my head and thought that burning incense sticks and paper in the stairs, especially in the corner stairs, is the easiest way to attract ghosts. If there is a funeral in anyone’s house, the first seven and the last seven, or on the anniversary of death, people always use to put a white radish split in half at the door and insert incense sticks. This is to guide the dead in their own homes and let them find their way home. Although the customs are different everywhere, the nature of ghosts formed in each place is the same, so I asked Teacher Yang. I just saw the building environment in your office. I didn’t see any residential buildings, but I saw a castle. Teacher Kan Yang said that he didn’t know himself. Although he worked here for a long time, he also went to the warehouse on the first floor many times, but he really didn’t pay attention to the residential buildings nearby. However, he occasionally saw people around him passing through the window. Perhaps there is a path near here.
Hu Zongren said to me, why don’t we go and see the terrain first and then I said, it’s broad daylight. Do you want me to walk around with a compass? Hu Zongren said that it’s not necessary for you to think about it. Since the brazier is now in the corridor, there are only two ways to go, one is the building, the other is the building, and these young people have also seen the ghost squatting by the brazier. Then it is said that the ghost entered this range through one of these two roads. If we can trace the matter, it will get closer and closer to the answer we want. I asked Hu Zongren what you said. You mean that we should start with the brazier in the corridor and check from there, right? Hu Zongren nodded and said that this is the most reliable and least risky way I can think of at present, and we can make a judgment on the good and evil of these ghosts from here, which will directly affect what kind of treatment we should choose later.
Hu Zongren paused and said, "How should I choose my treatment?"
Hu Zongren stopped when he finished this sentence, but I didn’t quite understand the meaning of his sentence. He originally said it was "we" and then changed it to himself. So I looked at him, but he deliberately avoided his eyes. He really emphasized that this was his business. He also knew that the things we had recently encountered were getting more and more difficult, and we were in danger several times. He still didn’t want me to get involved too much, so don’t take this cause and effect on me.
When I thought of this, although I felt that Hu Zongren was really a good friend, I must not say that. I had to pretend that I didn’t notice anything. It seemed that Hu Zongren was probably a little stronger than me, but he was not my opponent when he said that he had more eyes, so I ignored him and told him that all right, I’ll listen to you and we’ll investigate from the brazier in that corridor
Then Hu Zongren told Mr. Yang that the office had been blocked. Before everything was completely solved, we all thought that if these people went back to the office, it might not be a good thing. In case we angered the ghosts, these people would have to suffer with us. So Hu Zongren let them find a place to stay and visit other colleagues’ offices or go out shopping by themselves, but don’t go back to the office wherever they went. Teacher Yang went to investigate with us, but Hu Zongren was caught. Hu Zongren refused, saying that there are some things that we are not fully sure about now. We don’t know whether it will be dangerous or not. Besides, there are girls among you who are the most in the way. I am afraid that I was scared to death by ghosts before I was scared to death by people.
Hu Zongren makes it sound like a smirk, but I know that he is telling the truth. Unless we have to use key clues, it is not necessarily a good thing for the victim to follow us. Because ghosts have been in your heart since then, Hu Zongren told Mr. Yang to let us go out of the ladder and close the fire door later. Try not to stall people in this area until the matter is solved. Although vegetables are easy to go bad here, it is better than being haunted. You must bear this damage first. Although Mr. Yang was still a little reluctant, he finally agreed, so he said that after a while, the rest of his colleagues would disperse first and stay in the warehouse and tell his colleagues not to let them go downstairs
Hu Zongren nodded, so together with me, he made another effort to stop ghosts from entering this area as much as possible, and Hu Zongren pulled a plastic bag for vegetables in a supermarket, reached out and dug some ditches and mud into it, and then pulled another bag for those carrots that had been chewed off, which was like the police collecting evidence at a crime scene. Then he took out several spells and put them on the side of the food shelves to find an angle that was not easy to be found, but each symbol was circulated to another shelf to make each symbol play its best. Then our teacher Yang
After arriving at the negative first floor, Mr. Yang’s colleagues dispersed by themselves. I have never been to the supermarket warehouse. I still feel a little spectacular and huge. The place is full of all kinds of goods. At any time, I can see the genuine goods truck. Mr. Yang sent us to the entrance and exit of the truck and told us that this stairs is the stairs to our office. If you walk along here, you can find the brazier. After that, Mr. Yang pointed to the left hand direction, where it was covered. Miss Yang said that my colleague from Fujian said that the original incense burning place was probably over there, but I have never been there. Since you asked me not to follow, please look for it yourself.
Hu Zongren nodded and said that if we have new information later, we will call Teacher Yang. In the supermarket site, Teacher Yang will give us a lot of convenience. After these words, Teacher Yang turned away and joined the group of workers who were counting goods. It looked like telling something, so Hu Zongren pulled my sleeve and said to me, let’s do it.
Less than 10 meters away from me is a stone fort with a height of about 10 meters, which is covered with moss and weeds. Occasionally, there are cobwebs and some dead insects in the cracks of the stone. There is a small ditch about one inch wide at the bottom of the fort and on the ground. Some water flows from the fort and flows away in the ditch. Judging from the distribution of moss from the fort, this fort has been here for less than 15 years. Because this area belongs to old-fashioned residential areas, it is said that this place is haunted, so I followed Hu Zongren to the stairs.
The stairs from the negative first floor to the first floor are slightly longer than those from the first floor to the second floor. I think that’s probably because the garage is higher. When we climbed one side of the stairs, we saw the brazier in the corner just around the corner. The brazier is probably the most common kind of iron washbasin. I bet if it hadn’t been burned completely dark, I would have been able to see the beautifully printed corner wall in the basin. However, it looked very dark after being smoked by smoke and flames. Hu Zongren reached out and fiddled with it and found that there were some burnt incense sticks in the paper ash.
The gray color of the paper is light white and a little wet, which means that it has been at least one night since the first burning of paper. We arrived here early today, which means that the Fujian employee burned paper here last night.
Chapter one hundred [Case 21] A death
Hu Zongren and I are people who want to burn incense on weekdays, and we must also serve the gods in our respective homes according to the regulations, because we are still in our posts at present, unless we are away from home for a long time in a row, we must burn incense every day, and Hu Zongren and I both need to make incense ashes to varying degrees. We know a lot about ashes. Usually, when we burn paper during sacrifice, it will burn out quickly because it is soft and flammable, but even if the fire is extinguished, there are still dark fires. The so-called dark fires are those that you can’t see. Flame This is why when there is no flame, the pile of money paper will still smoke. The first burning, whether it is burning incense, burning candles or burning money paper, is divided into three stages. The first stage is that you can see the flame. The second stage is that you can smoke and burn the money paper ash when it smokes. In the third stage, the black paper ash will be burned again to turn gray, which is what Hu Zongren and I have seen at present.
But the burnt paper ash is very soft and weightless. Water will seep into the air, which will cause the paper ash to be wet. The burnt paper ash will be scattered by external forces overnight, but it has a certain viscosity. This is also why Hu Zongren and I immediately judged when we saw the paper ash in the brazier that there were many incense sticks in it. It didn’t look like it was burned at one time, but there were some unburned paper in the corners. Hu Zongren picked it up and told me that it was yellow paper and the most common way to burn money in Sichuan and Chongqing. One kind is yellow papyrus with holes in the head, which looks like strings of rough coins. This is usually burned to the dead. The other kind is similar to the yellow paper we often make. The color is yellow, which is relatively smooth but soft. It is often a whole piece and then folded into a rectangle. This kind of paper is burned to bodhisattvas or gods. According to Teacher Yang, if the Fujian employee burned paper in this supermarket because of customs, it is obvious that he chose the wrong object, that is to say, probably from the first day he burned paper, he failed to invite the gods to pave the way for wealth, but invited some kids around him to make up.
Hu Zongren walked over and said that this guy who burned paper didn’t even figure out who he worshipped until now. It’s really lucky that he didn’t have an accident until now. I also smiled and said that he did. You said that there must be many old people living around here. Relatively speaking, there are more elderly people. There is also a hospital near here where people die every day. Teacher Yang, when they met the ghost of that old woman, Hu Zongren lost money paper around here and told me that you would take a compass to see what the reaction was. So I took out a compass and walked from the first floor to the second floor stairs. As before, this passage is full of agility, but the more you go, the weaker it becomes. After all, there are still people working at that end, and the more you get closer to the brazier, the stronger you get and the weaker you get. This means that these ghosts are aimed at this brazier. Secondly, they gather around the brazier. Up to now, I have completely determined that it is because the ghosts around us have been attracted after burning paper.
But I still haven’t found the ghosts who are staying here, so Hu Zongren said that since we have come, we should take them away, so let’s burn paper to worship. I hope those good friends can be gentle with us later. I smiled and told Hu Zongren that you are still afraid of rudeness. Aren’t you a rude person? Didn’t you go with Fu Yunni because she was rougher than you? Hu Zongren burst out laughing and took out the incense paper from his bag. He is a Taoist priest. These things are more frequent than me. Although I am also preparing for the body, the frequency is relatively small. Hu Zongren’s burning of incense is not an ordinary burning method, but it means that others burn incense. When it is a big deal, he talks about blessing and blessing in his mouth. But Hu Zongren’s chanting is a mantra. Taoist mantras are various and mostly composed of classical Chinese. At first, when we studied these mantras, we often learned them by rote, and then gradually learned them in actual combat. By the year I met Hu Zongren, we had been able to know very clearly whether our mantra summoned a ghost in a case or not.
After Hu Zongren read the mantra, he kneaded and dispersed the money paper in his hand to form a fan shape. He lit a corner and tried to let the flame ignite the surplus money paper. His middle finger and index finger refer to the money paper, so at this moment, Hu Zongren’s hand is fixed even if he doesn’t grasp the money paper with his thumb. This is a gesture of Yaoshan Sect to pat and print the mantra to burn paper. For Hu Zongren’s door, whether the thumb is extended or rolled in means there is a difference between the meaning and the gesture of the caster. I won’t elaborate on why Hu Zongren always holds the money paper in his hand. When he burned his fingers, he gently loosened a few fingers to let the money paper fall freely, and all the money paper would fall and gather in the brazier at the same time. After the last one fell in, the flame was still burning, and suddenly he felt the feeling of a gust of wind blowing.
Hu Zongren is good at controlling fire. I know that the Yaoshan Sect’s spirit measuring method is also based on this principle, but the flame shook violently with the wind. Although Hu Zongren and I didn’t feel a trace of wind, the corridor was not completely sealed, but the ventilation places at both ends were outside the corner. If we say that where this corridor is the least ventilated, it must be us in front of it. I think this is one of the reasons why the Fujian employee chose to burn paper here at the beginning, but Hu Zongren didn’t wake up when he got it. When I saw the flames running around, I knew that the ghost had been brought by Hu Zongren.
I scolded Hu Zongren and said why didn’t you wake me up? Hu Zongren answered me that you didn’t ask me yourself, and I was too lazy to continue to struggle with him. I quickly took out my compass to see that the pointer of the compass was spinning rapidly, but when it turned to a certain place, it immediately bounced back. The way of bouncing was very similar to the situation that the pointer suddenly hit something in high-speed operation and rebounded. My compass appeared so few times that I could count it with one finger, and I also knew that this rebound indicated that there were other ghosts around me, which led to the compass not knowing where to point, and the rebound place of the compass was exactly where my feet were at the moment, which meant that I was squatting on the site and I was overlapping with a
When I thought of this, I quickly jumped back to one side and pulled Hu Zongren over by the way. I think my backward jump posture at that time could cause the audience and the judges’ bench to exclaim even when I arrived at the Olympic Games. Hu Zongren suddenly seemed a little staggered when I pulled him. He was impatient and asked me what you were doing. I said that something had just arrived in our place. After that, I put the compass in front of Hu Zongren and showed it to him. Hu Zongren showed him what it means to bounce around all the time. I said that the ghost around here was attracted by the pile of money paper you burned just now, and that the ghost around here would quickly gather because someone burned paper. That is to say, except for a long time, they are raised almost every day. It seems that if someone feeds them in the same place for many days in a row, these cats and dogs will still do this if the feeder doesn’t come one day.
Hu Zongren nodded and said to me, in that case, if we take away all these ghosts now, does it mean that we can solve the problem in the fastest way? I said that the principle is better than that when you catch ants and pound the nest, it is very difficult for you to catch them, but if you put some sugar water near the nest, you will soon be able to catch them all. Hu Zongren said, let’s try it, and then we will solve the problem one by one.
So I put the compass back in my bag and conveniently pulled out a piece of red rope, hanging with five fingers in my right hand and pulling out five coils the size of my head. Because I saw from the compass that although there are several ghosts here, I can be sure that the number will not exceed five. If we can locate one of them, it’s just a matter of how and when to catch it. Hu Zongren needs to sprinkle a handful of incense ashes in the past, so that this group of ghosts can be revealed. Hu Zongren also holds an edge of the divinatory bag with his right hand to make the mouth of the divinatory bag as big as possible, and then picks up a handful of incense ashes with his left hand and nods at me
How? Let’s just say that I saw the incense ashes hovering for almost a few seconds. All I could determine was that the location of the ghosts was my guess. When Hu Zongren and I were about to pounce on fishing, we could catch a few first. When I just raised my feet and moved forward, the incense ashes actually bounced in the opposite direction towards Hu Zongren and me. This made me unprepared and accidentally caught the incense ashes in my eyes.
I hurriedly stopped and squatted, then turned around to turn my back on the ghosts. Then I reached out and rubbed my eyes. At this moment, there was a muffled hum from Hu Zongren in my ear, followed by a loud shout. If I didn’t guess correctly, it was Hu Zongren’s tumbling down the stairs. When I was about to shout Hu Zongren, my left rib was pushed down by a force, which didn’t hurt, but I lost my center of gravity. Then I felt dizzy and my body ached in many places because I was also pushed down the stairs.
(Mobile phone party, please switch your mind and look at the picture. There are benefits today.)
Chapter one hundred and eleven [Case 21] In front of the residential building
I’ve fallen from many places, and the worst one was directly behind the wall and fell to the ground behind my back. I’ve learned what it was like to hold my breath for a long time, but this is the first time that Hu Zongren fell down the stairs. I think he has a lot more experience in this field than me. Hu Zongren just fell once the other day when a villa in a tea garden handled a case for a woman with beautiful legs.
The incense ashes are very light and touch the solid foundation of the body, but they don’t feel anything, but the eyes are different. There is a saying that the eyes can’t contain half a grain of sand, and the substance is very sensitive after burning, which makes my eyes become astringent and painful. Even when I fell, I struggled to open my eyes, but I couldn’t help it. Fortunately, Hu Zongren took me as a cushion when I fell to the building. The edge of the stairs was angular. During this free rolling process, my right brow bone and shoulder both bumped into each other, and it seemed that my skin was broken when I hit Hu Zongren.
When I didn’t think much, I grabbed Hu Zongren’s clothes. Although I closed my eyes and didn’t know where I grabbed them, I spat in my hand, and then wiped it in my eyes for a few times. After mixing saliva and being stimulated, I shed tears. I opened my eyes in a daze, but when I opened my eyes for a long time, I found that the surroundings seemed to have changed a color, so I struggled to get up and look at Hu Zongren’s bracelet, clutching his left armpit. He also closed his eyes, and his nose and mouth were stained. The whole face was covered with incense ashes, and it looked dirty. It looked like an earthquake survivor who had just been found by firefighters from the ruins. I lifted him up and asked him where you fell. How is it now? Hu Zongren shook his head to see that he was still conscious except for the pain, so I dragged him towards the entrance of the corridor and let him go until he could get the light.
I told Hu Zongren to wash his eyes with saliva first, so Hu Zongren quickly opened his eyes in confusion. At this moment, I stretched out my hand and touched my shoulder and brow bone. Sure enough, my brow bone bled because of knocking. Although it was not serious, it was just a skin injury, but it still needed to be cleaned and stopped bleeding. So I took out a paper towel and wiped it, and then I wiped it with saliva.
When I was a child, if I fell outside and broke my skin and bled, my father taught me to drool, which seemed to be consistent with alcohol to some extent. At that time, my father also told me that if you look at the animals in the animal world, their tongues lick their wounds in the same way. For many years, I almost formed a habit, for example, when I cut my finger while cutting vegetables, I would put my finger into my mouth to suck, for example, my arm was cut by something sharp, and I would immediately wipe my saliva off. I am glad that I have not been infected with tetanus or rabies for so many years, and perhaps it is as rough as my
Hu Zongren took a breath and then told me with a faint gasp. It seems that we underestimated these guys and shouldn’t rush so rashly … Ouch, my old waist … I woke up that Hu Zongren’s place was not a waist but a rib, so he immediately changed his mouth and said, Ouch, my old rib … I asked him if he broke it? He kneaded it for a few times and said that it didn’t break, but it was painful as hell. Of course, I knew that when I was young, I was mixed up with those gangsters for a period of time. Many of the fights were taught by them. They told me that hitting people means hitting others in the most vulnerable places, and these places are often one of the places where the axillary ribs are one of them. That place is skinny and located on the side of the body. It is very difficult to prevent it. It will make people feel suffocating and painful to hit it hard.
I went to the stairs and looked around. This floor was already relatively high, and the number of stairs was a lot. Just thinking about it, I felt pain. Fortunately, we closed our eyes just now, otherwise it wouldn’t frighten me to death. I pulled out a compass. The stairs measured a pointer pointing to the top where we burned paper just now. This fixed direction pointed to the place where the ghosts pushed us upstairs, so it also made me feel relatively relieved. I lit two cigarettes and handed one to Hu Zongren. I asked him what happened when I was fascinated by your eyes and heard you fall.
After Hu Zongren exhaled a cigarette, he told me that he was ready to pounce on it after scattering incense ashes, but from his point of view, he saw a man who threw incense ashes back to the department as if with one hand. After his eyes lost in incense ashes, Yuan also struggled to open his eyes several times, and then he saw a gray like a fog that violently collided with himself, which was his armpit, followed by a dizzy spell and then went upstairs. I said to Hu Zongren, but shouldn’t this be right? It stands to reason that ghosts should be afraid of our incense ashes. Not only are they not afraid to return our things, but they turn against us. Have you ever been in such a situation before?
Hu Zongren shook his head and said that he had never met incense ashes, which were not aggressive, but because of their special stickiness, they were very light and could stick to ghosts, forming a shadow that we could see with the naked eye. Later, I saw that gray shadow was probably a ghost with incense ashes on it, but I couldn’t tell the truth about how they were sprinkled on us. Hu Zongren slapped me while sitting, and the dust just fell all the way, which made my body dirty. I asked Hu Zongren what to do now. We couldn’t see them directly, and incense ashes didn’t work well. We just wanted to catch them, but they noticed us. That is to say, if we want to catch them again, it may be much more difficult. Hu Zongren said that there is nothing we can do. Besides, I just thought about it. You have to say that Teacher Yang’s office and the fresh food area can still be sealed. We can’t stop others from entering and leaving this place, can we?
I thought about it, so I put out the cigarette butt, drew a few small dressings on the recent steps of the black ash building, and then threw away the cigarette butt and said to Hu Zongren, can you walk now? Hu Zongren nodded and got up to pat the dust on his body. I said let’s skip this step and go there first. Hu Zongren asked me where to go. I pointed in the direction of the residential area over there and said that it was the location where the Fujian employees burned paper at first.
Hu Zongren and I walked slowly in that direction. Although we suffered a lot, we were not seriously injured, but we walked slowly. I threw away the tissue that had just stopped bleeding. We crossed the warehouse door on the first floor and walked on for about 20 meters until we reached a zigzag corner. Just after turning around, we saw a garbage dump full of all kinds of garbage. Behind the garbage dump was a broken stone made of ping pong. The edge of the billiard table is a relatively dry place, and there are some spots of wax oil marks near the flower beds, so I guess that the former Fujian employee burned paper here.
I have carefully observed the terrain. If my wax oil is located, my front is the corner and the back sill, but this side is a little short. I have been able to see some old-fashioned buildings similar to the former employees’ houses. There is a small forest at the bottom of the building, and there are many places where there is a danger of landslides. If it rains heavily, my left hand side is also a employees’ house. There is a unit door entrance about the height of the fourth and fifth floors. This building style should be almost the same as that of the employees’ house in the same period. The paint on the wall has been peeled off a lot, and the original white wall has fallen off. It looks like beige color. There are no stairs in the building, but the kind of corner stairs. There are one and a half people at the stairs of each floor, and there are few railings. I think if I climb to the top floor railing and stick my head out, I can see that the sides of my current corridor are covered with all kinds of advertisements of cowhide and moss, and I can also see that the residents here have built small balconies, cabinets and flower pots everywhere, which are almost the same as those in my factory more than ten years ago.
Not far from my right hand side, the garbage dump just now should be the domestic garbage of residents around here every day, and then regularly collect it. Because I saw the garbage bin with hooks and vehicles can come in this passage, there are still several cars parked at the bottom of this building. I counted the building on the left, where there are about four people living on each floor, but two of them are facing the direction we are currently in. At that time, which employee was scolded for burning paper must be one person on this side, but the scope is still too large. Hu Zongren and I discussed and decided that we might as well try burning paper, even if we were scolded.
Chapter one hundred and twelve [Case 21] Make trouble
There are still many money paper Hu Zongren’s body, but there is no brazier here, but we can’t do it anyway, so we drew a stone to let Hu Zongren burn all the money paper, which somehow attracted some ghosts. When I looked at it, it was nearly four o’clock in the afternoon, and many middle-aged and elderly people had already gone home to prepare dinner one after another.
Hu Zongren burned paper. He deliberately burned it slowly so that it would drag on for a long time. After burning about two stacks of money paper, he really shouted "Lou! What a thing! Don’t listen to say hello! Call you not to burn here! Hey, it’s burning again! Give us bad luck? " It’s an old woman who sounds about 6 years old. It’s not hard to tell from her tone that it’s not the first time that she’s scolded like this. The Fujian employee must have been scolded by her once before, so I looked up and found the balcony on the right side of the third floor with a clotheshorse in her hand and a fork in her waist in the other hand. The old woman is eyeing us with an unhappy face. It’s obvious that she’s cursing like Sun Wu is going to fight with a monster.
So Hu Zongren and I looked at each other and deliberately ignored her. We continued to squat down and burn slowly one by one. Hu Zongren even took out several stacks from the bag to put the old woman where she could see it, which means we are still far away. Just scold her slowly.
Sure enough, as soon as Hu Zongren got the old woman, she swore and quarreled, saying that the truck rumbled all day in your supermarket, which affected our rest. We didn’t say anything, and we wanted to burn paper in front of our door. Are you worshipping the ancestors? Your house is dead. How can you live? The old lady in Chongqing is still very good at cursing, especially the woman who has just entered old age and is out of touch with menopause. The more she scolds, the more excited she is, and the more energetic she scolds. Hu Zongren and I can’t help laughing, which further angered her. She took out two huge candles from her bag, lit them, stretched herself lazily, and then squatted down one by one and slowly burned Hu Zongren. This provocative move made the aunt completely angry. She greeted us with foul language, and her voice changed from initial quarrel to growling. The door attracted the attention of many neighbors in this building. I noticed a lot of people living on this side gathered on the balcony. Some were silent, and some followed the aunt to say that we didn’t have public morality and burned paper every day.
So Hu Zongren became more energetic. This guy came to be a troublemaker. When he heard more and more accusations and mixed with each other, we couldn’t hear exactly who said what, and the male and female voices were mixed together. At one time, Hu Zongren and I almost became enemies with the residents in this building, so Hu Zongren got up and pulled out a incense as if it were a concert conductor, pretending to clap for those noisy residents. Such provocative actions attracted everyone’s dissatisfaction. Finally, someone couldn’t help throwing an egg at the place where we were squatting.
I quickly flashed, but I still hid and continued to burn paper, so a man shouted at a dog, a rabbit! Don’t run if you have something to do! So I said to Hu Zongren in a low voice that someone is coming, and it’s estimated that they want to beat us. It’s all old people and old ladies. Don’t really fight. Hu Zongren said, Don’t worry, I’m measured. Maybe the residents here can’t help but rush downstairs when they see that man, so many of them have followed out of the gatehouse, and everyone has become bustling. If I had taken advantage of their kung fu, I might have run away. At this moment, Hu Zongren is holding his arms around the corridor and looking at the crowds in those buildings with a contemptuous look and a cigarette in his mouth.
On the contrary, Hu Zongren, the former aggressive neighbors, probably came to beat us both up but didn’t dare to do it easily. Hu Zongren said to one of the most excited old men, why don’t you tell me what you want? Hu Zongren came here more like a ruffian than I did. When he asked, the old man didn’t dare to speak. Just now, the balcony was the most swearing. The aunt shouted at Hu Zongren and said, How many times have I told you not to burn incense and paper in our building? We are all old people here. Who are you burning incense for? Do you want us to die early?
