In the vast and empty fields, rows of farms lie in the middle.
At night, many villagers who had just returned home from work were sitting at the door of many houses, enjoying the cool air in front of the door. But in this row of farms, a greenhouse was built on the drying field in front of the house in the middle, and there were three high-wattage lamps on its head. In the dark surroundings, these three lamps are like the sun, illuminating the night like day.
The family is having a funeral. There were many people sitting in the shed in front of the door, crying one after another.
There is no doubt that the lonely ghost guided by Jin Guang should be this household.
Lian Xi and Gu Chen stepped forward together.
Now, funerals in the countryside are no longer as troublesome as before, and the corpses must be kept at home for seven days. Now put it in the freezer for three days, burn paper day and night, and go to the crematorium on the fourth day to complete the final formalities, and then you can hold the ashes for burial.
Many relatives and friends were sitting on the drying field in front of this house, all of them came to offer condolences and also come to eat.
There are many and mixed people, but there is not a single one like Lian Xi and Gu Chen.
As soon as the two walked on the drying field, the eyes of relatives and friends shot over the ground. After a while, a village woman with sackcloth tied around her shoulders came over: "Which one are you looking for?"
Hei Wuchang put his hands in, not feeling any emotions.
Bai Wuchang didn't expect him to do anything, he didn't even look at him at all, and even Xi said directly: "We passed by, I lived in this area when I was a child, so I'll come back and have a look."
A few villagers around became curious.
"Which child is this?"
"Did the old Zhao family under the bridge move to Wuxi the year before last?"
"It's not like, it's going to take a long time to move."
"Then I don't know. Many people move to Wuxi every year."
Rural people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai often like to refer to going to the city as the name of the local city. It's not that I'm not stepping on this piece of land under my feet, but it's just such a code name.
Moving to Wuxi means moving to downtown Wuxi.
The village woman looked at Lian Xi and the two: "The family is doing a funeral." After speaking, she looked up and down the two.
Lian Xi: "Uh, sorry, sorry."
The two of them ran down the sunbathing field in despair.
He didn't go far, just watched quietly nearby.
People nowadays are not like the ancient times, the people in ancient times were more simple, and because of the underdeveloped transportation, outsiders were rarely seen. If a stranger suddenly came to a banquet at their own house, they would be very enthusiastic and leave them for dinner. In particular, those who do weddings like to have a lot of people and lively. Funerals are no exception. Say your condolences and follow the changes, and then put incense sticks, and the host will stay for dinner.
It's different now.
Sucheng black and white impermanently smuggled into Wuxi, and should have been carefully discovered by the local ghost police with his tail between his legs, and he should not make a big splash. Now the host doesn't entertain them, so of course they can't just go there casually, lest people be surprised.
Even Xi understands this, but the minister does not understand.
General Manager raised his eyebrows: "Catch ghosts?"
Lian Xi: "Wait first, we don't have an identity now, and people in the past either think that we are eating and drinking, or that we have other goals."
The minister asked back, "Don't we have another purpose?"
Lian Xi glanced at him.
Then you can't say it!
It's really impossible to communicate with Lord Black Impermanence.
Lian Xi had already found out that Su Cheng, the new black and impermanent person, is powerful and comparable to a hang-up, but unfortunately, Lord Yama is always fair, and this person seems to have a problem with his brain. At least, he doesn't know much about the world.
From Hei Wuchang's point of view: I catch ghosts, it is only right; if you don't let me catch ghosts, there is something wrong with your thinking.
What the people in the world are thinking, Lord Hei Wuchang doesn't care at all, the sky is big and the earth is the biggest, and he should not be the last to die.
Lian Xi: "I have to think of a way." While thinking about it, Lian Xi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at a hunchbacked old man squatting in the corner of the drying field. He paused for a moment, and after a while, pulled the corner of the black and impermanent clothes: "That."
Caochen looked down at the hand that was holding the corner of his clothes, and then followed it up.
Lian Xi: "Is it him?"
Caochen narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of his fingers. After a while, he hummed softly.
A minute later, the two people who had just left went back and returned to the shed where the funeral was held. However, this time they didn't go to a crowded place, but in the dark night, the two walked to the corner of the drying field and stood in front of a hunchbacked old man.
Lian Xi's eyes swept away.
The old man trembled against the corner, wearing a tattered shirt covered in blood. He lowered his head and leaned against the wall without saying a word, but there was a large crack on the top of his head, and the red, white and white inside swayed in the moonlight, but not a trace came out—
Because he is a ghost.
The minister glanced lightly, took out the black impermanence certificate, and opened it.
"There is a way of heaven and earth, hell..."
"Did you come to catch me?" the old man said suddenly.
The voice of the priest stopped.
Lian Xi lowered his head and looked carefully for a long time, only to realize: "Are you blind?"
The old man nodded obediently.
Lian Xi looked at the minister strangely, his eyes signaled: This man was blind in his lifetime, why is he still a blind ghost after death
Mr. Zong understood with a glance: Well, catching ghosts.
In the next second, Mr. Ji recited the spell again, and he was only halfway through, when the old ghost interrupted him again: "Master Guicha, I just wanted to ask, are all the girls in my family here?"
After being interrupted twice in a row, the minister frowned, showing displeasure on his face.
Lian Xi looked at the old man's pleasing face. Although he couldn't see it, he still bowed to the air and pleaded with him.
Anyway, just answering a question casually, even Xi stopped Hei Wuchang, who was about to rudely catch the ghost again, and asked, "What does your girl look like."
Old man ghost: "I was born late. My girl is in her 30s this year. She is a little fatter, not tall, and has a big mole on her face. My boy is almost forty this year, his eyes are a little small, his mouth is big, and he has buck teeth."
Even Xi craned his neck and looked at the crowd: "They're all here."
The old man gave a ghostly smile and grinned, "It's good to be here, it's good to be here, I still miss the old man. I heard someone crying just now. Is that my girl?"
Lian Xi: "Well, yes."
"Why don't they cry now?"
"After dinner, relatives and friends sat down, and they wanted to greet the guests."
"Oh, I get it." The old man smiled and said, "Master Guichai doesn't know, my little girl has always lived in the city. I also opened a massage parlour for the blind in Wuxi before, and I closed the shop last year and returned to my hometown. My eyes were blind when I was 20 years old. They were busy and didn't have time to see me. We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. I thought they would not come back, but they all came back, and they were crying. I still miss the old man."
Before he died, he knew that the children who seldom met were still thinking of him. The old man was very relieved and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Lian Xi: "It's time for you to hit the road."
Hei Wuchang on the side had long been impatient, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he waved his hand, this time he didn't even recite the spell, and directly sent the old ghost to reincarnation.
A line of names slowly appeared on the impermanence certificate.
"Liu Zhaoqiang, 1951-2020, died in an accident"
Lian Xi couldn't wait to open the performance rankings and take a closer look.
He also saw the newly increased performance points.
The two bodies froze instantly.
Lian Xi did not believe in evil and closed the impermanence card. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened it again.
Lian Xi: "..."
The minister: "..."
That's it? !
That's it? ! ! !
I saw the last line of the performance rankings, with the latest points of Sucheng's black and white impermanence printed impressively—
2043 points.
From 1943 points to 2043 points now... So, they traveled thousands of miles to Wuxi, racing against time, and even Xi spent 150 yuan for a taxi, and finally came over. As a result, this old ghost is only worth 100 points? !
Such a thick golden light, so thick that one can breathe quickly and shout oh-ho, is it worth a hundred? !
Lian Xi's face instantly collapsed.
There is absolutely no such thing! Lian Xi calmed down: "Master Hei Wuchang, are you mistaken? This old man has only 100 points, and there are only two possibilities in this situation. First, the thickness of the golden light is not necessarily related to the points; second ..." Lian Xi raised his head, "There must be other ghosts in this village!"
Zhao Chen didn't hesitate: "I think it's the second type."
Even Xi's tone was firm: "I also think it's the second type."
The two nodded in agreement.
It can't be the first one anyway!
It's like drawing cards in a game. The first nine draws are all R cards, and only the last one is left. I know that this time it is estimated that the car overturns and it will not be saved, but I still have the greatest hope in my heart: what if? What if it's an SSR
One hundred and fifty yuan has been spent, and Lian Xi will never allow this money to go to waste!
However, the truth is always cruel.
The village is not big, and it took the two of them an hour to walk all over the village.
At night, the country people seldom go out to hang out, but even Xi and Caochen don't have to enter the house, they can check directly outside the house to see if there are ghosts wandering in the house.
The breath of the living and the dead are different, and the yin qi of the dead will be invisible as long as you examine it carefully with the evidence of impermanence.
But they searched three times, three times! Not a single ghost!
Lian Xi: "..."
The minister: "..."
This time, Lian Xi gave up completely. He turned on his phone and said, "Now go back to Sioux City, maybe I can catch a few more ghosts tonight." But taking a taxi back, it was another hundred and fifty dollars!
Even Xi felt that his heart was bleeding.
But soon, he snorted in surprise: "No signal?"
President Ji looked at him calmly: Although I don't know what the signal is, as long as I don't ask, then I know.
Lian Xi held up his mobile phone and looked around for the signal: "It's strange, now the rural areas are covered by the network, how come there is no signal suddenly."
I searched for a long time on the ridge road, but the signal never got through.
Just when Lian Xi was about to return to the farm and find someone to borrow wifi, when he turned around, he suddenly stopped.
I saw a small figure staggering over on the dark country road.
It's a yellow dog.
This is an old dog, his yellow fur is a little yellow, and he walks very slowly, without much energy.
It just walked slowly to Lian Xi and Ji Chen, raised its neck, looked at the man in black with clear black eyes, and then...
He rubbed his feet.
Even when he woke up, his scalp was numb, he turned his head to look at Hei Wuchang, thinking that Hei Wuchang, who was ignorant of human affairs and speechless, wanted to give this dog a social kick, so that it knew that it was not a ghost and could rub it casually. of. Unexpectedly, in the dark night, the handsome and indifferent man looked down at the puppy quietly with his eyes down. After a while, he leaned down, stretched out his hand, and touched its head.
Even Xi was stunned.
After a while, Hei Wuchang looked back at his colleague and asked, "What kind of creature is this."
Lian Xi came back to his senses: "Dog."
Hei Wuchang stroked the dog's head, there was no emotion in his dark eyes, but his fingers were extremely soft.
"Oh, dog. It's time for you to reincarnate."
"Um..."
The minister opened the certificate of impermanence and sent the dead old dog to reincarnation, and a line of words appeared.
"Caizi, 2009-2020, died in an accident"
Lian Xi was a little stunned, why, do ghosts even accept the souls of animals
As if he heard the words in his heart, the minister stood up and sneered: "Everything has a spirit, and it is not only you humans who are the real masters of the world."
Lian Xi: "But I've never encountered an animal ghost before."
Caochen glanced at him: "Why are there ghosts lingering in the world, not automatically reincarnated at the moment of death?"
Lian Xi thought for a moment: "Because they either happened suddenly and forgot that they were dead. Or they were obsessed and unwilling to reincarnate until they were completed. Most of them were the latter."
Caochen: "All things are pure, but only the human mind is complex and obsessive."
That's all he said, but Lian Xi already understood what he meant.
Most of the animals are simple. They just want to fill their stomachs every day and occasionally meet the needs of racial reproduction.
But people want too much.
If you want too much, you will have more obsessions, you will miss the world, and you will not be reborn.
but…
Lian Xi: "What kind of obsession does a dog have?"
Mr. Zhi put his hands in his pockets and continued to be the black impermanence of Mo De's feelings.
Even Xi never thought that he could get an answer from Mr. However, he looked at the two adjacent names on the Impermanence Card.
Liu Zhaoqiang, wealthy.
All accidental deaths...
Does this dog belong to that old man
Humans and dogs have been reincarnated, and the real answer is no longer known.
Walking on the country road, Lian Xi kept looking for the mobile phone signal. But he is not in a hurry, anyway, there should be a signal when you reach the road.
Passing by a farmhouse, two elderly peasant women were sitting on the drying yard nibbling melon seeds and enjoying the shade.
"Zhao Qiang died this morning, do you know that?"
"Ah, which one is stronger?"
"Just the one from Mimura."
"Liu Zhaoqiang? He's my uncle's brother-in-law! How did he die?"
"A car accident. Alas, the TV in his house was broken, so he wanted to send it to the town for repairs. He was hit and killed by a motorcycle when he was riding a bicycle to town. Now Zhao Qiang's family is doing his funeral. Huh."
"I remember Zhao Qiang was a blind man. Why did he send the TV to the town for repair by himself, so he could see it?"
"He doesn't carry an old dog every day, and the old dog shows him the way. I heard that the motorcycle was driving too fast, and the old dog reacted and barked, but Zhao Qiang couldn't escape, and he was killed. And what can he do if he can't see it? His little girl, both of them are in the city, and neither of them will take the old man over. Zhaoqiang's mother-in-law died long ago, so he can only live at home alone. No Repair the TV yourself, whoever repairs it for him."
"Then his little girl is back?"
"I'm back, why don't I come back? I'll be back at noon and asked for 100,000 yuan from the motorcycle driver. And Zhao Qiang didn't open a massage shop in Wuxi two years ago. I heard that he saved a fortune. As soon as my little girl got home at noon, she rummaged through boxes to find money, and now that the two of them have received 200,000 yuan, they plan to do a funeral for the old man seriously."
"Alas, sin."
The two village women were still mourning the death of the old man.
Lian Xi looked down at the word "Liu Zhaoqiang" on the impermanence certificate, and remembered the lie he told.
Are you crying
Crying, just fake crying.
How can anyone be blind when they are alive, but still a blind ghost when they die without a body? Just don't want to see it.
What is the obsession of the old yellow dog, is it because he can't save the old master who depends on each other, or does he feel that the death of the master was caused by himself
Lian Xi lowered his eyes and closed the impermanence card.
Before closing this thin booklet, Lian Xi glanced at the performance rankings, and then...
Lian Xi poked Black Impermanence's arm with his arm.
The minister looked at him meaningfully, and finally said the sentence: "Call my name, and poke me?" The colleague suddenly became more courageous.
Lian Xi didn't understand what he was saying at all, and just pointed at the impermanence card with a horrified face. "Look! Look!"
Caochen frowned slightly, opened his impermanence certificate, and then...
"?!"
Ghost difference monthly performance rankings.
…
No. 25, the ghost of Suzhou City, Suzhou Province, with a performance of 3943 points.
Lian Xi was horrified: What a god, a dog actually gained 1900 points? !
Are humans better than dogs
Let's take a look at the top-ranked Wuxi ghost poor, with a monthly performance of 4214 points!
Just less than 300 points away.
Beat the penultimate, just around the corner!
Lian Xi was instantly motivated.
The last one, the reward of gold is 2,500 yuan, which is exchanged for soft sister coins.
Can be the second to last, the direct reward is doubled, 5000 soft sister coins!
Lian Xi: "If we search more these days, we will definitely surpass Wuxi."
Mr. Zong glanced at him: "Beyond the second-to-last, and then become the second-to-last?" Mr. Zong sneered, expressing disdain.
Even Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him. You didn't say that when you entered the village just now. It's really weird.
There is no delay in earning points.
Lian Xi quickened his pace, looking for a cell phone signal.
"Hey, got it?"
After finally finding the mobile phone signal, Lian Xi was about to call a taxi when suddenly, an unfamiliar number called.
Lian Xi was stunned and answered the phone: "Hello, hello."
A young voice came from the other end of the phone, with a slightly impatient tone: "Hey, Lianxi, right? I'm Wang Zihao."
Lian Xi suddenly didn't remember who this person was.
But soon, the person continued: "I sent you WeChat for a long time before, why didn't you reply, I asked Zhao Wei for your phone number."
Only then did Lian Xi react: "Doctor Wang?"
"Um."
That's right, this person is the intern doctor Lian Xituo helped to find before.
Realizing the possible reason for the other party's call, Lian Xi's expression suddenly became serious: "Did you find the nurse who delivered me the birth you asked you to find?"
Doctor Wang: "Well, that's it. It was sent to you on WeChat, you can see for yourself. If there is no problem, check again, you can go to someone in two days. Sister Qin has been looking for you for a long time and asked. A lot of people have asked."
Lian Xi was stunned: "Oh, I'll invite Sister Qin to dinner later."
Doctor Wang: "Okay, then I'll hang up. I'm busy."
The author has something to say:
勝·Not familiar with personnel·General: Oh? Are you saying I don't know people? Then you might as well teach me, what is human affairs.
CC: Lord Yama is very fair. He gave Zong Zong high force, but he didn't give him a good brain.
