C68

Entering the city, he looked at the bustling crowd and the rows of tall buildings in the surroundings. It was obvious that this place was much more crowded and the weather was very hot. Glass parked the car next to the phone store and picked out two phones. One of them was for me, while the other one was for me. Although I was a little unhappy, I thought it would be great if I could get free knockoff goods.

As soon as he inserted the card, he received a call. It was from Sister Yun with the intention of prompting her. I said these two days are too busy, give me two days to let me slow down. Just as he hung up, another call came in. It was Lu Xiran. The content of the call was very simple. He just bought a washboard and went home. Before I could say anything, the other party had already hung up.

I didn't buy the washboard. I know what it's for. Glass left me downstairs and drove away, saying she wanted to drink with me at night. I said I didn't know if I could stay up till night, let alone drink. I smiled through the glass and said I'd call you.

There were five or six people busily preparing for a funeral downstairs. Due to the restrictions of the space, the mourning hall was placed in a shed, called a spirit shed. Because this district was relatively old, the buildings inside had a history of more than 30 years, and most of the district's elders lived here. If these elderly people couldn't withstand the cold in winter, then they would really take turns dying one by one, as if they were rushing there. Even though it's autumn now, with so many elderly people, there would still be a few weak ones that would report ahead of time. Thus, I have already become accustomed to this funeral before me.

I stumbled up the stairs, feeling as if I were about to enter a slaughterhouse. Fortunately, Lu Si Ran hadn't finished his work yet and the lock on the door hadn't changed. I entered the room and laid on the bed to think of a solution. I didn't expect that I would unknowingly fall asleep.

I was awakened by Lu Si Ran's kick. She threw her bag on the bed and coldly said, "Come to the living room!" She picked up the keyboard from the computer desk and threw it on the living room floor while she sat on the sofa.

I followed, and she pointed to the keyboard on the floor.

I thought to myself that my wife had indeed heard of her husband kneeling on the keyboard and washboard, but I had never seen him do it, so I didn't really believe her.

I hastily accompanied him with a smile and walked over. "If you have something to discuss, then we can discuss. Why are you imitating him and playing with this?"

Lu Si Ran glared at me before twisting his face. His hand was still pointing at the keyboard. He didn't say a word. It seems like she really wasn't joking with me. Thus, I decided to kneel down. In any case, no one would be able to see me from home. Besides, I was rude first, so it's only right for me to be punished. Thinking of this, I bent my legs over the keyboard and knelt down.

Don't forget that the weather is still hot, so I don't wear much. Not only is the keyboard broken, but my knee is also damaged. When I looked down, I saw that my knees were completely broken. Furthermore, I had already been injured when I went to the Well Pond to help with the soul-calling, but now my wounds were even worse. Even though my legs were kneeling on the ground, I could not stop trembling.

"Tell me, what have you been busy with these past few days?" Lu Si Ran looked at me viciously. His eyes were extremely vicious and he seemed as if he wanted to eat me.

I was confused. I had actually forgotten all about the solution I had come up with earlier. So I said haltingly, "It's … is to help people cry out for the soul, to help people... To drive away evil spirits, to send away evil spirits … To send the bones! " I said it in a low voice.

"Do you believe it yourself?"

"I don't believe it!"

"It's fine if you don't believe me. To be honest, did you go out and mess around?" What happened to that woman's crying and her laughter afterwards? "

She was talking about Old Madame Zhao's crying when the glass was pierced through and the laughter of the water ghost that hid itself in Wu Rilan's house later on. I didn't know how to explain it now. I didn't even have the time to tell a lie, so I had to tell it in full detail.

She stood up and pointed at me, cursing, "It's been two days since I last saw anyone. Not only can I defeat the demon, I can drive the ghost as well. What's more, I even have the ability to tell you where the ghost is and where the demon is.

[Sigh, I can't explain it now. I don't want to say it, so I can only pretend to be deaf and mute. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, I'll just point at that face and kick it (not caring about face or self-respect).

"You're still lying? Why do you turn off your phone every time you pick me up, why don't you call me all these days! Say it! "

Lu Si Ran paced back and forth, constantly talking and shouting hysterically.

I told you to keep your voice down so you could hear from next door.

Hearing that, she was full of energy again, "You still know how to be shameless, and yet you go out and hang out with him? Hurry up and explain. Didn't you want to give me a satisfactory explanation? "I'm explaining, tell me!"

When I heard this, I was angered and wanted to explain it to you. If you didn't believe me, why would you spare me when I'm kneeling here with my men's face down? I always thought that by closing the door, I would be able to disregard the dignity of a man, but now, I feel really sullen. I am clearly speaking the truth, but you are not listening. "Don't push me too far, I've only been home for less than a week, and I've been through so many things in this week. I almost lost my life a few times, so it's normal not to make a phone call, and my cell phone broke down later, so you can't believe me right now. If you don't believe me, I'll pull you down."

After I finished speaking, I endured the pain in my knee and turned around to leave. At this moment, Lu Si Ran seemed to be so enraged that he kicked me in the back. I wanted to hide, but my knees didn't work. She had studied Taekwondo for a few years, so the strength of her kick was definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary man. My legs trembled and I fell to the ground. I wondered how many tears my mother would shed if she saw my son being bullied like this.

I got up and turned around to point at Lu Si Ran. "You're ruthless. You're ruthless. Don't expect me to come back in the future." After I said that, I slammed the door and left. Behind me, I could hear Lu Siran's crying voice, "If you have the ability, then stay outside and die. Don't ever come back!"

It was this again, this again!

When I came out, it was completely dark and the shed was already set up with incandescent lights. When I got to the front of the shed, I saw the mourning hall. When the door is a barrier, above it is a word "mummified," and under it is a table, and in the middle of the table, next to the barrier, is a portrait of the dead man, an old man. I know this person. His name is Guo Minqiang, and he lives on the second floor. He often goes downstairs to bask in the sun or enjoy the shade under a tree. In front of the portrait, there were white bowls filled with steamed buns. On each side of the table was a boy, girl, boy, and girl who were leaning on a piece of paper. Behind the protective screen, one could faintly see a black coffin painted with paint. The coffin was covered in a red peony pattern. The families of the dead were kneeling on the ground, but they didn't cry.

The shed was surrounded by wreaths, paper men, horses, and television sets. It seemed that the deceased person must have been quite capable when he was alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have received so many wreaths. The paper man did it very simply, it was a piece of white paper cut into the shape of a large isosceles triangle, similar to a human's torso, and then wrapped itself around the waist side with two reeds, which extended down an extra 30 centimeters and could be counted as legs. On his shoulder was a reed, which could be considered an arm. As for the head, it was stuck to the neck with an oval piece of paper, supported by a reed on both hips. The nose, eyes, eyebrows, clothes and hats were all drawn on the paper.

These paper men were leaning against the outside of the shed, two men and two women, each with a piece of paper stuck to their chests. I specifically looked at it, the man had written "Bull Putting Tong Qiu Wa" and the woman had written "Servant Qiu Xiang". He didn't know who recalled him, but he gave them a name. The light from the lamp illuminated the paper man's face, causing it to turn deathly white. Whenever someone moved in the shed and the light from the incandescent lamp was blocked, the paper man's face would turn gloomy. I looked terrified, and I had the feeling that the four pairs of eyes were staring at me, so I didn't dare to stay any longer.

After walking out of the door, I suddenly realized that there wasn't a place for me in this city. I didn't know where to go for a moment, the phone book on my phone was empty except for the two numbers, Sister Yun and Lu Siran.

On the west side of the district was a north-south road called Su Road. Walking slightly to the south, there was a rather wide road called Huai Road. This road led to the east and west, intersecting Su Road. It was one of the city's most important traffic routes. Following Su Lu's south path, they crossed Huai Lu and entered the southern section of Su Lu. After walking for another twenty minutes, they arrived at Cloud Flipping Lake, located in the southern part of the city.

Flipping Cloud Lake was an artificial lake. The surface area of the lake was about 7 square kilometers. The surrounding land was about 6 square kilometers. The area around the lake was about 12 kilometers per week. This was considered a large scale artificial lake. The north of the lake is a green meadow, and the grass next to it is an artificial beach.

Without knowing it, I walked to the north bank of the lake and sat down in front of a roasted mutton skewer. The surface of the lake was covered with waves as the night breeze blew past. Although I had never seen the sea in my life, I can still use the term 'surging waves' to describe the surface of the lake. I had been to this shop a few times before, and the owner was a Hubei citizen. Although he was dressed like a Uighur uncle, the moment he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with Hubei dialect.

I said to a waiter, "Five bottles of beer, two pounds of roast mutton skewers, and a dish of boiled peanuts!" Because his heart was in a panic, he didn't have the mood to enjoy the night scenery here. If it was a normal day, sitting here blowing wind, looking at the lake, drinking wine and eating food, then looking at the seven-colored lighthouse (TV tower) in the north, looking at the beauty passing by, how enjoyable it would be. But today was done by Lu Xiran, which spoilt my mood.

After some time, my dishes were served. Just as I lowered my head and was about to start eating, I heard a voice from my left, "Young man, you must be worried. Is it for your own good or for your own good?"
