The Tale Never Ends

Chapter 2: White devil

Views:

When I heard this sister-in-law say that the ghost her man met was a "white devil", I felt a little disappointed in my heart. I thought I had a chance to show off my skills! The result is just a "white devil". You must know that the "white devil" is different from the "black devil". The "black devil" harms people, but the "white devil" does not harm people. So I said to the sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the 'white devil' you mentioned is not harmful. Could it be that that thing is entangled with your man?" When the sister-in-law heard what I said, she was a little worried and said: "No, it's actually my family. The head of the house..." I really couldn't stand the jumpy language of this sister-in-law, so I said impatiently: "Just tell me directly, what was the situation at that time, and what are the symptoms of your eldest brother now!"

The sister-in-law choked on my words and was stunned on the spot. I had no choice but to get up and let the sister-in-law into the house. Then I poured some water for her and said, "Don't worry. Speak slowly." The sister-in-law took a drink of water and her face softened a little, and then she said, "That's it. My family is from Huangtuling. There is a shoe factory five miles east of my home, and the head of my family is a worker who makes soles in that shoe factory. Last winter, he walked home from the night shift. The shoe factory to my house is a mountainous road, so I can only walk. That night At around twelve o'clock, when I was returning home from the shoe factory, I suddenly saw something on the way. The head of my house said that the thing was as big as a basketball. It had no hands, no feet, no head. It was all white and stood three feet above the ground. The ruler rushed towards him. In fear, he raised his hand and took the electric baton (flashlight) and hit it, but it didn't hit him. He was so frightened that he ran all the way back home. When he got home and told me, I thought to myself that it must be an encounter. The 'White Devil' came out and didn't run away. At first, I thought it was okay to meet the 'White Devil'. After all, the 'White Devil' doesn't harm anyone. But no one expected that my boss was so scared that he didn't dare to go to work the next day. He said he was commuting to work We have to take that road, and he doesn’t dare to go.”

When she said this, the sister-in-law finally let go, but the pain on her face became more and more serious. She took another sip of water before saying: "You said that he was a big man, but he was frightened by the 'White Devil'. Later, he even quit his job because he was afraid of walking on that mountain road. In the beginning, he didn't dare to After walking on that mountain road, he got even more serious. I had to follow him when he went to the hut at night, otherwise he would not dare to go. Now, even during the day, someone has to follow him." When I heard this, I completely understood what this sister-in-law wanted to express. Yes, that’s what happened. But I'm curious, how did she know that my dad was capable? My sister-in-law may have noticed my concerns, so she said to me: "Brother, you don't know. Our whole family relies on the money our head earns in the shoe factory, and even the money to send our children to school... . But he quit his job, and I have been looking for a husband to show him for the past six months. But when I came to Jingcheng from Huangtuling, none of the great masters and gentlemen I found could see what was wrong with the head of my family. Later, the gentleman in Jingcheng pointed out to us, He said that the director of Wuzhong County's "Wenchang Chinese Studies Museum" might be able to help us, so we came here."...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the "Wenchang Chinese Studies Museum". A group of children came out of the Chinese Studies Hall. It looked like get out of class was over. My father is the director of this Chinese Studies Museum, and his main job is of course to teach these young ancestors the classical Chinese culture. Hao Dadan, my sister-in-law, and I are waiting for him this time. We led them into the curator's room. Dad just came back from get out of class and was smoking there. I was not polite and walked up to him and told him the purpose of the two people's visit. Dad raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and the two of them also looked at their dad. Then I saw Hao Bingdao turning his head and looking at me doubtfully. He wanted to say, is this dad or brother? It’s no wonder that Hao Dadan was confused. My dad does look a bit younger, he looks to be in his early twenties, but he must be in his early twenties at that age. Obviously, the sister-in-law also had such doubts at this time, and looked at us suspiciously.

When my father heard that I said these two people came to ask for his help, he said to them: "Sit down and talk! You two have two things to do. I will solve them for you one by one. You see who comes first." Queen?" The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this. From their father's words, they both felt that they had found the right person! The eldest sister-in-law said: "Everything has a first come, first served. This eldest brother came before me, so let's show him first." Hao Daudao was a bit dumbfounded. Hearing what his eldest sister said, he didn't refuse. He stood up and said: " Curator, I..." Hao boldly recounted what he had told me from beginning to end. From beginning to end, my father listened with his eyes slightly closed and a smile on his face, taking a puff of cigarette from time to time. Hao boldly mentioned the Mercedes-Benz owner named Li, and his father chuckled and said, "Okay, it's an easy matter. How much do you plan to pay to settle the matter?"

Hao Dada was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I am just a construction worker, and I only pay about 4,000 yuan for a month's hard work. Repairing this luxury car often costs more than 100,000 yuan. How can I pay for it?" Come on! I can't get so much money even if I sell everything..." Dad waved his hand and interrupted him: "I'm not asking how much you give the car owner, I'm asking how much you give me. "Hao DaDaDa heard this: "Huh?" His father continued: "Let's do this. You earn 4,000 yuan a month as a construction worker. How about I charge you 2,000 yuan to settle the matter?" Hao DaDaDa may have felt that he was at a loss. Then he said: "I said to the curator, I have to pay for the person and the car. Now you ask me to give you another amount of money. I..." Dad waved his hand and interrupted again. He said: "The so-called settlement means that you give me two thousand yuan, and I will settle the matter so that the car owner will not ask you for money to compensate for the car. Like you said, if you suffer twice, then why do you need me! It's just that This is a Chinese Studies Center, and I can only issue tuition fees. My class fee is two thousand per class hour, which is equivalent to giving you a class. I also say this to the outside world." Hao Dadan immediately became happy when he heard this, and said quickly: "Hey, okay, that's great!" That's right. You hit other people's cars, and then took you to hit ghosts. Dad solved it for you, and only wants you two thousand yuan to find a good dancer outside. They are all more expensive than this.

Seeing Hao boldly agree, my father said: "Actually, the Mercedes-Benz owner you mentioned named Li is an old acquaintance of mine. He is a wealthy man with a bold personality. You don't have to worry." As he said this, my father took out his mobile phone. , press it a few times and listen to your ears. After a while, the phone was connected and I heard my father say to the phone: "Hey, Lao Li. Oh, yes, it's me. Are you at home or at the company? Oh, you are out. When will you be back? Oh, okay, then I’ll go find you for a meal.” Dad hung up the phone and said to Hao Dadan: “I made an appointment with the boss named Li, but he is out now and won’t be back until about six o’clock. Let’s go to his company to find him in an hour. Now you wait."

As he spoke, the father turned his eyes to the sister-in-law next to him: "Can you tell me your story?" The sister-in-law also began to tell her husband's experience, and the father also listened with his eyes slightly closed and a smile on his face. After the sister-in-law finished telling the whole story, the father opened his eyes and said to the sister-in-law with a smile: "Since your husband is not here now, I can't make a conclusion! Well, you can bring your husband here another day, and I will make my own decision." There's a way." The sister-in-law's face was overjoyed again, and then she said: "He's here, he's here! He's in the car outside the door. I'll call him in right now!" Dad smiled and nodded. say. It turned out that the couple took a taxi from Huangtuling and the man did not dare to get out of the car because he was afraid. Let me tell you, there is no reason to treat a doctor without taking the patient with you.

After a while, the sister-in-law came in with a middle-aged man. This man looked a little shrinking, but his complexion looked completely healthy. Seeing him like this, I really couldn't understand. Dad didn't change his expression. He smiled and said to this man: "Sit down, can you tell me in detail about your experience that night? Your wife just told me about it, but I still need to listen to the person involved." Upon hearing this, the man looked around as if he was looking for something. After not finding what he was looking for, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it. Last winter, I came home from the night shift. It was extremely cold that night, and there was a northwest wind, so I walked in the direction of our home despite the wind. , I saw a white thing floating towards me!" At this point, I saw that the man's face had begun to change, and my father also saw his change, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid! Keep talking. "As he said that, he handed him a cigarette. After the man lit it, his face improved after taking two puffs, and his slightly trembling hands returned to normal. The man looked at the cigarette in his hand strangely, then came back to his senses and continued: "That thing is erratic, without arms, legs, or head. It is as big as a round ball." As he said, He gestured with his hand, and then continued: "The speed of that thing floating didn't look very fast, but it was in front of me in a blink of an eye. I could see clearly that the thing was about three feet high from the ground, and it was heading straight towards me. Come on. I wanted to turn on the electric prod to see what it was, but when I pressed the button, the electric prod didn’t light up! I was almost paralyzed with fright. I didn’t know which tendon it was on at the time, so I swung the electric prod. Just hit it on that thing..."
