There is no time to force in fate, and sometimes in fate, it must be in the end. Some things are really destined, no matter how you run away, you can't escape, especially since I've only come out with a fate in this thousand years, I'm destined to be unable to escape the fate of dealing with ghosts.
My ordinary day was interrupted again after a brief month.
I remember very clearly that it was Sunday, and it was still raining and drizzling outside. In this kind of weather, unless there is an urgent matter, some people would not come to my business. So as usual, I sat in the shop playing computer games bored in every possible way to pass the time.
"Dingdong... Welcome." The sound of an infrared doll interrupted my enthusiasm for the game. So I immediately put down the keyboard in my hand and looked out the door. At the same time, I said in a professional tone: "Hello, welcome to Linqin Office, what can I do for you?"
As my eyes swept away, three figures came into my eyes. Two young men and an older man. The two young men guarded the old man from left to right, and it seemed that this old man was the one looking for me. Look at their clothes, they are all dressed in the simplest and simplest clothes, not like a private detective like me who would come to see me. However, on this rainy day, I deliberately brought two entourages and walked over with umbrellas. Something must have come to me.
So I hurried forward, took the chair, placed it in front of the old man, and said politely to him: "The old man, please sit down, I'll pour a glass of water, and sit down and talk slowly if you have something to do. Please also sit down for both of you." Although I motioned for the two young people to sit down too, they did not accept my kindness, but stood behind the old man like a bodyguard, protecting him.
But when I was about to pour the water, the old man suddenly got up and took my hand. He became very excited. As he said, he shook my hand and said to me: "We have been here several times, this One time I finally got you guarded."
The old man's hands were very cold. I guess it was caused by the wind and rain outside. I guess he was really agitated. I was a little bit painful when I caught it, but I was embarrassed to throw him away forcefully. He had no choice but to calmly said to him with a smile on his face: "Old gentleman, old gentleman, don't be too excited, since it's here, we will speak slowly when we have something to say." Fortunately, his two entourages have eyesight and are seeing him. After holding my hand tightly, he immediately stepped forward to calm his emotions.
Although I let go of mine in time, the intense pain still made me gently shake my pinched wrist.
The visitor is the guest. What's more, the person is an old man, and he is only emotionally excited for a while. Of course, I don’t care too much with others. So after pouring a cup of tea, I sat opposite to them, straight to the point. Asked: "Old gentleman, is there anything I can help you with?"
The old gentleman did not drink my tea, but suddenly his eyes moistened to me, and said to me with a grievance: "Master Lin, you really want to help our family this time. , My old man is begging you." After speaking, he stood up abruptly and wanted to kneel to me.
How could I dare to let him pay such a big gift? Isn't it a loss of my life, so I immediately took a step forward and reached out to stop him, and the young people on both sides of him also stepped forward at the same time, helping him back to his seat together.
Although there are not many years of excited old people like this, I have encountered it a few times. Actually, there are no major issues at all. They are all trivial things, which are really annoying. But since I open the door to do business, it is impossible to pick customers. So I calmed him down and whispered to him: "Old sir, don’t be so excited. Just call me Xiaolin. I’ll open the door to welcome guests and do business. If you have anything, just say, I If I can help you, I will do my best to help you."
Upon hearing my words about packing the ticket, the old man suddenly smiled with relief, and then turned around and raised his hand to a young man beside him, as if to indicate something to him.
The young man nodded to the old man immediately, then took a step forward, and at the same time took a wad of money from his arms and put it on the table.
The money does not seem to be much, at most four or five thousand yuan. Seeing the money, I also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that things shouldn't be big. To be honest, I'm a bit scared to see it now, it's a lot of money.
I also relaxed my mind, and then smiled and said to the old gentleman: "It seems that the old gentleman is also a bold person. In that case, please let the old gentleman tell me what I want to help you."
The old man suddenly straightened his face, and then said to the young people on both sides: "You go outside and wait."
"Yes!"
"Yes!" The two young men respectfully responded, and then walked out.
After the two went out, the old man lowered his voice and whispered to me: "Xiao Lin, I am the village head of Fengming Village. I came to see you this time because I wanted to ask you to help our village take a look at the feng shui. ."
"Huh..." Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Seeing his mysterious appearance, I thought he had encountered something unclean again. So I immediately showed a smile and said to him: "I'm going to build a new village committee, and I plan to see the foundation of Feng Shui? It's a trivial matter, and it's all for me."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, the old gentleman frowned and waved his hand at me to indicate that I was wrong: "No, no, if I just look at the base, it would take me so much trouble. Oh..." the old gentleman said. He sighed suddenly, and after a sip of tea, he said sadly: "It's because something happened in our village, especially my own."
My smile stiffened again, and asked in a slightly related tone: "Old man, what's the matter?"
The old man’s eye sockets suddenly moistened, and he said with a weeping voice: "I have five out of seventy this year. I have been the village chief since I was sixty, and it’s been fifteen years since I was a few years ago. It's smooth, but since the third year, all kinds of strange things have been happening in the village."
The old gentleman is indeed very old, and he can't catch his breath after speaking for a while, so he has to pause and breathe. I didn't interrupt him either. I sat aside and waited attentively to listen to him.
"From crop drought, mud road collapse, and all kinds of unsatisfactory things happened in our village one after another. The theft and the loss of poultry are all trivial things, but in recent years, there have been a lot of falling rocks from the mountains. Many villagers were killed and injured in the house. Now the whole village is panicking, and even the relocation of villagers has occurred." The old man said that he was very sad and helpless, and his eyes were full of sadness.
It's really not easy. But when I heard this, my heart started to retreat. The situation in their village is indeed miserable, but except for the stolen ones, everything else can be regarded as natural disasters. To put it awkwardly, it is not what we can do. Manpower can control. It is definitely not something that can be changed by just looking at Feng Shui. In this world, some places are already plagued by disasters. For example, several foreign countries have been attacked all the year round. These have far exceeded the scope of human prevention.
When I was thinking about how to reject him, the old man went on to say: "In fact, compared with these things, my own affairs are truly incredible." Seeing the old man said so fascinated, I really can't bear to go. Interrupt him, so I decided to calm down and listen to him before talking.
"My daughter-in-law also passed through the door after I was the village chief for the third year. Alas... I thought that a happy life would come into my house from now on, but I didn't expect my own family to be the worst in the village." The old man said At this point, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with my sleeves, and then said: "My son got married relatively late, he got married at 30, and his wife was the same age as her, so it is considered late marriage in our case. After we got married, our family treated her like a baby, hoping that she could pass on her to my son. But I didn’t expect that after twelve years, every time I got pregnant, all of them would die."
As soon as I heard it, I was stunned. Isn't this the story told by an aunt when I was eating breakfast? This... is actually true? But I didn't expect that the protagonist of this story is not the villager, but the village chief themselves. (End of this chapter)
