Chapter 5
I looked at this business card, the first feeling is that I met a madman, who is so old still get handwritten business cards to play ah ……
Ding Ding said, you put it away, if something happens, call me, I will come to take a look.
I understood at once, this motherfucker still want to cheat money ah! It is just that the way to go is a bit unusual.
I asked, you just did not say I can only wait for death, then also want your phone why.
Ding Ding smiled, said, I have not seen the Yin Hata it, a little curious, want to contact more contact. In the future, I will have experience when I meet it.
I slapped my thighs and scolded, "You're treating me as a guinea pig"!
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said that it is not so, you think, I can help you drive down the ghosts, maybe you can still live longer, how cost-effective business.
I don't care about him, just this time the door opened again.
Lin Tian walked out, his face is very bad, holding a paper man. Once I saw his face, I suddenly remembered that dream last night.
In the dream, he seemed to have the same gloomy face, and it was exactly the same as the current scene.
I saw that he looked odd and asked him what was wrong.
He shook his head and said it was nothing.
I wondered, Then what are you doing holding this ghostly thing?
Lin Tian considered for a while before telling me that Mrs. Nine said that paper people were originally something that was burned when the dead were buried. But nowadays, fire is banned in many places, so people usually just put the paper man next to the grave and wait for it to fade away naturally with time. This was originally something that didn't matter. But things in the graveyard, after a long time, would more or less be tainted with some ghost qi.
He said half of the words, suddenly closed his mouth.
I wondered very much, said you continue ah.
Lin Tian considered half a day, stammered, usually nothing, the living met, Yang Qi a punch, these things on the ghost gas will be scattered. But ……
He said here, and then closed his mouth.
I this person is most disgusted with other people talk only half, suddenly some annoyed. Lin Tian saw me want to get angry, busy pulling me to explain, said these are all Mrs. Nine said. She said that because you have too much ghost qi on you, you will attract ghosts. That's why when we came back that day, we were targeted by those unburned paper people in the mountains, wanting us to help it open the way to the hell to find the master.
Ding Ding was listening at the side, and at the end, he suddenly nodded seriously and picked up the conversation, yes, if it wasn't for your lives, this car would have driven straight to the Yellow Springs Road.
Lin Tian nodded repeatedly, innocently looking at me. I suddenly also understood that the way he was squirming just now was because he was afraid that saying this out loud would make me feel guilty. In the end, it was still pretty much the same as what Tintin had meant before. In short, all of this happened because of me.
I originally had my suspicions, I just didn't dare to be sure. If I were Lin Tian, I guess I wouldn't know how to explain to him, not only to make him understand that I didn't blame him for this, but also to make the reason for what happened clear.
Thinking like this, I was suddenly relieved. The anger I had just felt also dissipated. Anyway, I'm a loner, different from Lin Tian's kind of complete family, and it's better for the source of the matter to be me than Lin Tian.
Lin Tian saw that I didn't say anything anymore, thought that I was still angry, busy pulling me back, said Don't misunderstand me, anyway, these words, I also half believe it. Whatever the reason, I still treat you as a brother.
I smiled, and naturally understood in my heart. I just don't want to continue this topic, so I asked, then what are you going to do with this paper man?
Lin Tian said, nine Mrs. let him take the paper man, to the place where we had a car accident burned. Incidentally also mentioned, let him go alone, do not let me follow.
I asked in passing, "What about me? I'm not a ghost too?
Ding Ding came up and said, "It's the same whether you burn it or not, there are many more ghosts you'll run into anyway. If you follow him, you might even drag him down.
When I said this, I was fine, but Lin Tian was not happy, looked at Ding Ding out of the corner of his eye and scolded, "What are you doing meddling in our brothers' business? It's none of your business whether you are dragged down or not.
Ding Ding did not dare to reply, big eyes blinking, like a child aggrieved to hide behind me.
I advised, "Alright, alright, he's just telling the truth. Anyway, whatever the Ninth Mistress says, you just do it. It's not like we know anything about these things.
Lin Tian glared viciously at Ding Ding before he gave an enunciation, pointing to the paper man in his arms, saying, I'll send you back first, and then I'll go deal with this thing, if I don't burn it, I'll always have it hanging around in my heart.
I nodded, and did not enter the house to greet Lin Tian's mother and Mrs. Nine, Fangzheng I guess they do not want to see me. I only shook my hand with Ding Ding and said bye-bye.
Ding Ding saw that we were leaving and reminded me one after another that don't forget to call him ah.
I smiled and ignored him.
Getting into the car, Lin Tian threw the paper man on the back seat. It felt the same as the last time we hit a ghost, the two of us sitting in the front, behind us lying a paper man. The atmosphere is weird and panicky.
Lin Tian also found out, perhaps because the last experience makes us all a little afraid, he turned back, put the paper man in the trunk. This is the only way to feel more comfortable.
On the way back, Lin Tian and I didn't say anything. I know that although Lin Tian does not mind, but the guilt in my own heart is not less. Therefore, I considered for a long time, or decided to try not to interact with him in the future, so as not to really what happened, I can not escape the blame of death. Even if I don't want to die, his mom won't let me go.
I said to Lin Tian, "You'd better take me to the company now. Mrs. Nine's side shouldn't have anything more to do with me, and I also need to go back to the company to talk to the leaders and explain about not going back to work.
The place where I work is a passenger station, and with the recent retirement of a group of employees, we're still a bit short-staffed, and new employees are still in the recruitment phase, so our workload has increased quite a bit at once.
In addition, now that the passenger station has almost all been relocated outside of the city, it doesn't take Lin Tian long to drive there. It saves a lot of time compared to sending me home.
Lin Tian didn't have much of an opinion, after all, for me, even if this was just a job with a slightly low pay, I still had to support my family and couldn't neglect it.
It didn't take long for us to arrive.
I got out of the car and said hello to Lin Tian. He said, "If you need anything, call, my dad still has some connections, I can help you out.
I "En" a sound, said don't worry, just to explain to the leadership, there will be nothing.
Only then did Lin Tian start the car. I stood on the side of the road to see him walk away, but has not been into the unit. To be honest, the heart is still quite apprehensive. After all, it's just a meal, but also have to look at the face of the leadership. I speculated in my mind half a day to explain the words, the ghost thing naturally can not be said, can only take the previous car accident as an article.
Probably think clearly how to speak, I walked toward the unit, the heart is very uneasy. I realized that sometimes when dealing with people, it feels the same as hitting a ghost, both make you nervous and sensitive.
It was summer vacation now, but the peak time for students to return home from vacation had already passed. The station wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be, but there was still a steady stream of people coming and going.
I walked into the office building, intended to go straight to the leader's office. But just walked a short distance, met the same section of the staff. This person surnamed Wang, the age of forty, so we usually call him brother Wang. He took a statement, saw me, busy greeting, yo, small Tan came, so soon discharged?
I thought I hadn't told anyone in the unit about my hospitalization, so how did Brother Wang know?
Brother Wang said, a few days ago, as soon as you were hospitalized, the leadership knew, but the last few days, as you know, everyone was too busy, planning to visit you in a day or two. I did not expect you to be discharged so soon. It seems nothing serious, right?
I smiled and said it's fine, just a little bit of skin.
I don't want to say anything else, if you really want to visit the patient, how can you find the time. However, in addition to my usual work and coworkers do not have many interactions, to come or not I do not care. In Lin Tian's words, I'm called not mercenary enough, will not deal with people, so in this more than a year, there are not many friends.
However, hearing Wang say this, I am more or less relieved, since the leader also knows, then there is no need for me to make things up.
I casually perfunctory him a few sentences on the excuse to go away, directly to the leader's office. Knocked on the door, inside answered. I walked in, see the leader is sitting in front of the desk, buried head looking at the documents on the table.
His face did not look too good, I guess this period of time tired enough. Only when he saw it was me did he take a break from the papers on his desk and forced a smile, saying, Xiao Tan you're here? How come you've been discharged from the hospital? I've been busy these past two days, and I was planning to visit you in a day or two.
This is almost the same as Wang brother a template printed out, but polite words Well, after all is that a few sentences.
I said I have nothing to do, has been discharged from the hospital, delayed one day did not come to work, to apologize to the leadership.
The leader said nothing, nothing, special circumstances, had intended to give you a few more days off. But now you are in good spirits, it should not be necessary.
Hearing this, I really hate to smack myself in the mouth, who let himself ass to report!
I forced a smile and said, I also did not receive a notice of vacation ……
The leader did not change his face and said, "Xiao Tan, you know, recently there is a shortage of manpower, and the employees have some bad things. We as leaders also have a lot of headaches, and it is also true that people can not take care of them for a while. But you're fine now, so take a good rest today and come to work tomorrow.
I guess he said the employee who said something is referring to me, secretly there is also some I dragged the company behind the meaning. Holding my stomach fire, but do not dare to express it blatantly, can only say, that's fine I'll leave first, tomorrow will come on time.
The leader nodded, said, you rest well at night, tomorrow work to have the spirit.
Out of the office, I immediately slate face, a belly of fire no place to send, the heart is very unhappy.
At this time, I heard someone call my name, I saw Wang, did not want to put on any good face.
Wang approached, raised the statement in his hand, said, look at Tan, I am really old and confused, just wanted to take it to you, said a few words and forgot. This is the financial statement you made before you took your vacation, my part has been processed, take a look at it, if there is no problem, you can teach it to the leadership.
I "oh" a sound, but now really do not have the heart to see, said, brother Wang, I take it home at night to see it, there is a problem or to modify, and tomorrow at work to the leadership.
Wang nodded repeatedly, said it's okay, you slowly look on the line.
Said, and I went downstairs one after the other.
Under the office building, in fact, is the ticket and ride area of the passenger terminal. After a long time, you can see anyone here.
As soon as Wang and I walked out, we felt that it was noisy, and there were noisy voices in our ears.
No, just as soon as we went downstairs, we saw a few men who had drunk too much wine in the waiting hall, obviously waiting for the car, I do not know for what things to quarrel.
They were cursing and swearing at each other, attracting a lot of people to watch from afar.
I also couldn't help but take a curious look, and saw one of the men took off his shirt and was bare-chested, his whole face red as a monkey's ass because of the alcohol he had consumed.
But what attracted me, but not their argument, but that man's back, is lying on the back of a little girl who is no more than three years old, she looks a little gray skin, like too long did not see the sun plus lack of blood like color. Two hands around the man's neck, tightly clasped together.
The man seemed to be unconscious, and every movement he tried to fight with was of great amplitude, but he just wouldn't throw the child off his back.
As if sensing my gaze, the child suddenly turned her head, her face also bloodless. She looked at me and suddenly smiled grimly.
