That's it, people. I always have great curiosity, but I don't understand. Sometimes it is better not to know the truth of something than to know it. This is the situation of this man now. I told him that I have no way to cure your mother. If you ask, the most you can do is to get the truth from me. But if I tell you the truth, you may still He will fall out with me, and it will be bad if Lin Feng is too harsh...

But this elder brother turned out to be shameless and insisted on letting me tell him the reason, otherwise he would not leave. I thought to myself, why are you so stubborn? But there was nothing I could do. If I didn't tell him, he really wouldn't leave. I had no choice but to turn my head and look at Chong Xi: "I'll tell you, I'm afraid you won't be honest." Chong Xi nodded, and I turned around to face him. Looking at the man, he said, "I meant my ugly words. The situation at that time was not pleasant. As a filial son like you, it is very likely that you would fall out after listening to my words." The man waved his hands hurriedly: "Don't worry, little master, just tell me. "I said in my heart that what I meant was that if you fall out, you will get a beating, but it seems that he has misunderstood again. I shook my head and said helplessly: "Okay, let me tell you why your mother is crazy..."

"Your mother's gambling club is to open a secret casino to allow gambling, and then take a proportional cut from the winner. This is nothing. But what everyone knows is that she takes care of the gambling. What they don't know is that in the middle of the night every day What did she do after the gamblers left! You know the terrain of your home. To the east is a lowland. To the east of the lowland is a tomb. Next to the tomb is a mountain road, which is the only way out of the mountain. Farmers in the mountain want To sell mountain products and buy daily necessities outside the mountain, you must pass there. Because it is 20 miles to the nearest town, the mountain people often rush in the middle of the night. Your mother is wearing a white filial piety robe and a white hat, squatting behind the tomb and waiting. Once someone came over, she would jump out and imitate a zombie. The mountain people passing by were often frightened and dropped their things and ran away. When the people ran away, she would pick up those things and leave. Over the years, she has been Doing this kind of thing!"

After saying this, the man's expression changed. Lin Feng secretly clenched his fists beside me. However, the man did not get angry and just sighed. At this time, I heard the man's wife say: "No wonder, every time I go to my mother-in-law's house to deliver things, she brings me a lot of things. When I ask where the things come from, she says she picked them up. At that time, I wondered where they came from. So easy to pick? So that’s it!”

I nodded and continued: "Did you know that there is a crazy woman in your south village?" The man raised his head after hearing my question and said, "I know, that woman has gone crazy a long time ago." I nodded. He continued: "It's time for something to happen. The last time your mother repeated her old tricks, she happened to encounter that crazy woman from Nancun sleeping behind another tomb. The crazy woman has no sense of fear. Seeing her pretending to be a zombie, she found it very funny. I also brought a filial piety robe when I got home and wanted to play with her! Your mother only vaguely saw someone coming from the other side, but she didn’t think carefully about why there was someone entering the mountain at this time! She jumped out and didn’t look until she got closer. It turned out that it was a 'zombie' just like herself! She only knew that she was a fake, so how could she have thought that the other person was also a fake? She thought that her actions had attracted real ghosts. She turned around and ran back, the crazy woman was there She chased after her. She ran home, closed the paizi (chaimen), ran into the house, closed the door, and looked out from the crack in the door. She saw the other party, dressed in white and white, with disheveled hair, chasing after him, but was blocked outside the chaimen. It was still dancing! It was almost dawn, and the crazy woman left. She was also frightened and went crazy." The reason why I didn't let Chong Xi tell him about this matter is because Chong Xi is a natural idiot. , Sometimes what you say is not serious or serious. If you open your mouth on a heavy night, you will say to others, "I feel sorry for you!" People may become anxious even if they don't listen.

I made a helpless gesture towards the man, and then said: "Okay, you know what happened. Are you satisfied this time?" The man smiled bitterly and nodded, and I patted his shoulder. He said, "Brother, you'd better find a better mental hospital to recuperate your mother. I can see that you are a filial son." Unexpectedly, when I patted him, I actually made him cry. The big old man actually covered his face and started crying. His wife hurriedly came up to persuade him. I turned to the "Plastic Bag Brother" couple who brought them here and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, didn't my dad tell you last time? This kind of thing won't happen in your area. If this happens again, just tell them directly. There is no need to come to sir. You said you are looking for my dad and me. If you are looking for a liar, why don't you let others trick you? "

The four of them stood up and thanked me profusely. After the man controlled his emotions, he asked me how much the "consultation fee" was this time. I waved my hand hurriedly: "Brother, what are you talking about? This is not a supernatural incident, and we haven't solved anything for you. What kind of 'consulting fee' are we charging?" The man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect me to do it. Take his money. In the end, when they left, they forced me to give me 500 yuan, saying that the paper money and incense candles they had just burned were theirs. After seeing the four people off, I held up the five hundred yuan and turned to look at Lin Feng and Chong Xi, who also looked at me with a wry smile. Then I called my dad and told him what had just happened, and that he had gone to see a mentally ill patient. My dad on the other end just agreed and said he understood, and then hung up the phone.

Lin Feng said on the side: "Tell me, what kind of job did my dad introduce to us? I have to talk to him next time!" I said: "Quickly pull him down, isn't that Uncle Quan too? Do it for us!" As he said this, Lin Feng's little apprentice came. Lin Feng got up and led his apprentice upstairs to practice boxing and kicking, leaving me and Chong Xi, an idiot, staring at each other. I originally thought there would be a lot of work on the first day of business, but who could have imagined that it turned out to be just a farce.

The days that followed became more and more boring. As the saying goes, "It's easier to poop than to eat poop." For several days in a row, our Yin Yang Hall didn't get a single job. In fact, we are not only responsible for catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. The signboard clearly states that we also look after the shady house and the yang house, but no one comes to the door.

The three of us brothers have been almost bored to death these days. At noon that day, the three of us were having lunch with Lin Feng's young apprentice. Suddenly, a man burst in from the door and asked straight away: "Is the owner here?" I raised my head and looked at this person, and I was shocked at the first glance. This person's entire face was shrouded in thick black air, like the bottom of a black pot! From the accent, he sounded like he was from the Northeast. He seemed to be about the same age as me. I saw that he looked anxious and aggressive, so I didn't give him a good look: "I am, what's the matter with you?" From this person It can be seen from the bag in his hand that he is also a gentleman and is traveling with us. Because a faint golden light could be seen faintly in the bag in his hand, presumably it was some kind of magic weapon of his. Guo Degang said that colleagues in the industry are enemies, and the same is true in our industry. Unexpectedly, when this person saw my answer, he immediately rushed over and grabbed my hand: "Brother, we have found a companion! You have to help me!"

As soon as I heard this, I realized that this grandson was here to move reinforcements and not to play football, so my tone softened: "Okay, sit down and talk slowly, what happened? How did it happen? His face is so dark. Like the bottom of the pot?" I said this with purpose, to tell him that I was indeed capable and could tell that something was wrong with him, not a magician. When my colleague from the Northeast heard what I said, his eyes immediately lit up: "Oh, I found the right person this time. I found several people before, but they were all sticks! (Magic stick)" I thought to myself, good guy, this guy is the same. Really stunned. So I took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator and gave it to him and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

This guy was really rude. He opened the can of Coke, took a sip and said, "I want to ask you a favor, brother. I've been worrying myself to death for the past two days." I said to myself, don't say you're worried to death, just do it. If you don't keep the black anger directed at you in two days, you will really die. Just listen to him say again: "Me, I took a good job two days ago. I was asked to collect two resentful ghosts. The reward was 1.2 million. After I collected those two ghosts, I started There are evil spirits that are causing trouble for me, and they come every day. I can't fight them off, and I can't drive them away. I'm at my wits end, why don't I ask my colleagues to help me." After hearing this, I felt that there was something fishy in this matter. So I asked him: "Brother, your accent sounds like you are from the Northeast. There are many gangs of soldiers and Mr. Yin and Yang in the Northeast. Why do you want to come here to bring in reinforcements?"

Unexpectedly, when I asked this kid, he actually had a sad look on his face: "I've gone, it's no use. I went to find several senior gentlemen and helpers from the older generation, but no matter who I went to, they all looked ugly. He scolded me and ran away when he didn't see me..."
