Chapter 3 Who's Dead?
I opened my mouth wide and couldn't believe Liu Yanfu's words.
I just saw this Hu Yue with my own eyes, talked to him, and sent him a courier.
But after carefully recalling the experience just now, as well as Hu Yue's hands that were as withered as tree bark, I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart.
Recalling that no matter how hard I knocked on the door, no one came out of Hu Yue's house, and the phone number was empty. But not long after, Hu Yue contacted me and walked out.
If you say there is no problem here, I won't believe it even to death.
Just now, I talked to Hu Yue and received the express delivery from her.
Thinking of what Lao Liu told me yesterday, that there is a problem here in Meizhuang, a layer of white hair sweat appeared on my back.
No way, it’s only the first day and something weird happened. Could it be a coincidence?
I haven't married a wife yet, so this bad luck will never happen to me.
"Is it possible that someone is deliberately playing tricks on you? Why don't you open the express delivery and see what's inside? It will become clearer," I reminded.
Liu Yanfu's face was pale and she was still frozen in place. It seemed that she was really frightened. After I reminded her, she suddenly realized what she was doing and tore the package carelessly, revealing a pile of letter paper.
"Click"
Seeing that it was letter paper, Liu Yanfu's expression became even more grim, and the pile of letter paper fell from his hand.
He squatted on the ground, picked up a letter tremblingly, opened it and read it.
While reading the letter, Liu Yanfu kept mouthing words, his body was shaking slightly, and a layer of sweat broke out on his face and neck.
I looked at it on the sidelines, feeling really anxious. I wished I could grab the letter and see what was written on it. How could a grown man be so frightened that I could only ask with concern:
"What's wrong with you, buddy? Why are you sweating so much?"
"This is a letter I wrote to Hu Yue when I was in college. There were no mobile phones at that time, so the two of us could only communicate through letters."
Liu Yanfu put the letter back into the envelope, sighed and continued: "After graduation, we discussed getting married, but we didn't expect that on the first day of the wedding, on the way to pick up the wedding dress, we were stopped by a speeding car.
After collision, Yue'er died on the spot..."
As Liu Yanfu spoke, his eyes seemed to see the scene that day again, with fear in his eyes.
"After Yue'er passed away, I completely collapsed and used alcohol to numb myself all day long. Later, I thought that the deceased was gone and the living were like this, so I had to cheer up. In order to avoid seeing things and missing people, I put these letters in her
Their graves were burned."
Liu Yanfu sat on the ground, buried her face in her knees, and started crying.
After hearing this, I was immersed in their tragic love story, but in an instant, a layer of white hair sweat appeared on my back.
Damn it! Is this guy making up a story? Or maybe they are filming a TV series and treating me as a free extra?
He died in a car accident five years ago, and the burned letters reappeared. Could it be that Hu Yue had some unfinished business? Even supernatural novels would not dare to write this.
No matter what, my mission is to deliver the express. No matter if you are human or ghost, I have delivered the express anyway, so naturally there is nothing wrong with me.
Shaking his head to get rid of all the messy thoughts, he took out a pen from his inner pocket and handed it to Liu Yanfu: "Brother, I have delivered the express. Please sign for it."
Hearing this, Liu Yanfu lowered his head and looked at the letters scattered on the ground, with fear in his eyes, then stood up and said: "I refuse to accept it, please return it the same way."
When I heard this, I cursed in my heart, "You are afraid of my feelings and want to drag me into trouble. You think I, the number one Xiao Zhuge of Changlong Town, am so easily fooled by you?"
I pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, you have damaged the express delivery and cannot return it."
You want to drag me into trouble? You don’t even have to look at who I am. I, Xiao Zhuge of Changlong Town, can send you away with just one sentence.
After hearing what I said, Liu Yanfu thought for a moment and then said: "In that case, I will re-deliver the goods. The address is No. 28, Meizhuang Villager Group!"
My face turned green when I heard this. I couldn't tell that a guy like Liu Yanfu, who looked like a gentle man, would think of this trick.
I instantly felt a headache, but I still resisted by saying: "You see it's getting so late, why don't I come back and mail it to you tomorrow."
"No, you have to take it away today, or I will file a complaint against you! Say you have a bad attitude and deliberately refuse to accept orders!" Liu Yanfu said viciously.
Damn it, your uncle! This guy and that Hu Yue are really a couple, they complain at every turn.
In the service industry, the most feared thing is complaints. One complaint may mean that the whole day's work is in vain. Facing the aggressive Liu Yanfu, I had no choice but to take the express delivery.
"Okay, it's already past closing time, so you have to charge double the price."
Now that it's past my off-duty time, I can't give you overtime in vain.
Hearing this, Liu Yanfu did not protest, but took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and said that there was no need to find the rest, and he treated it as a treat for me to drink.
This operation made me feel happy. People are indeed driven by profit. One second I was scared to death, but the next second I saw money, I could instantly forget my fear.
He immediately showed a professional smile and replied, no problem, I will take care of it for my little Zhuge from Changlong Town.
Meizhuang is a village that is neither big nor small. Hu Yue's home is at the eastern end, which is quite far from here. It is not cost-effective to just go to her place for delivery. I might as well wait for it to be delivered tomorrow. Thinking, I started the car.
Drive towards Changlong Town.
I returned to the company, uploaded my work records, took off my work clothes, and prepared to go home. I don’t know what happened today, and I felt very tired. I had better go home quickly, take a shower, and have a good sleep.
As soon as I left the store, I saw Old Liu walking hurriedly. He was walking in a hurry and looked flustered. As soon as he saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother, you are back, I am still here for you."
I’m worried.”
Lao Liu had a look of concern on his face. I was stunned for a moment as he spoke, and asked him what was going on.
Old Liu looked around nonchalantly and saw that no one noticed us. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I forgot to tell you. Before these couriers disappeared mysteriously, they all met a man named Hu.
The woman sent the order by letter, you didn’t receive her order, right?”
As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, I felt cold all over and froze in place, white hairs of sweat arose on my back, and I immediately told Lao Liu what happened today.
When Lao Liu heard this, he did not speak, but frowned. After a while, he said: "Brother, I'm afraid you have encountered something unclean!"
In our place, even if we encounter supernatural events, which are vaguely called encounters with unclean things, I can naturally hear the foreign voice of Lao Liu's words.
I calmed down and scolded Lao Liu as we walked: "Lao Wu, this guy lacks great virtue. For giving me such a job, if that woman is really a ghost, I must be buried with Lao Wu before I die!"
"
Lao Liu did not follow what I said, but advised me not to think too much. It might be a coincidence.
I didn't say anything, and we continued to walk aimlessly along the street. After a while, Old Liu broke the silence: "Brother, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. To be on the safe side, I'll help you find out some other time."
Someone who can calm things down."
Peace of mind means solving the problem. I understand what Lao Liu means. Find a divine man or a goddess to solve the problem.
In the past, I didn't care much about these things about ghosts and ghosts. Although I haven't read many books, I still remember what Confucius said: "Keep a respectful distance from things about ghosts and gods."
Today’s events are so vivid in my mind that I can’t help but not believe them.
My hometown is in the town next door, and I came to Changlong Town to make a living. I have no friends, and due to my personality, I have few friends. Only with Lao Liu, we can talk about everything. In my heart, I have already
He completely regarded him as an elder brother.
He immediately canceled his plan to go home, and instead walked into the restaurant with Lao Liu, ordered some stir-fried vegetables and a box of beer, and drank them happily.
The two of us drank more and more and became happier. Before we knew it, it was midnight, and we were the only ones left in the whole restaurant. The waiter was so sleepy that he dozed off and couldn't drive us away.
After looking at their mobile phones, it was already past 1 o'clock. Thinking of having to go to work tomorrow, the two of them stood up to say goodbye.
When I got home, I kicked off my shoes and fell asleep, dreaming.
In my dream, I dreamed of Hu Yue. She changed from the red clothes she wore during the day and wore mourning clothes. Her thin body was wrapped in fat mourning clothes, which looked very uncoordinated.
The originally pale face became even paler under the mourning clothes, without a trace of blood.
She walked towards me slowly, or maybe she floated over, and reached for my face with her dry hands.
Just when her hand was about to touch mine, I yelled, "Ah!!" and woke up from my dream.
It seems that I was frightened by what happened during the day. I have been thinking about it all day and dreaming about it at night. I have to deliver the courier as soon as possible tomorrow.
Anyone who wants to swim in this muddy water can swim in it, but I absolutely cannot swim in it.
Early the next morning, the alarm clock on my phone rang. I drank a little too much last night and had a headache, but when I thought about the difficulty of life, I still endured the fatigue.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the express delivery as high as a hill, and I couldn't help but feel resentful. Normally, such a large amount of express delivery would cost three hundred yuan, but now the dead salary is only two hundred yuan.
This guy Lao Wu hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, I must ask him to give me an explanation.
Before I entered Meizhuang, I saw a bunch of old men and women sitting around under the two big elm trees. Their eyes looked directly at me, which made me even more uncomfortable when I was already hungover and had a headache.
Without giving them time to take a closer look, I stepped on the accelerator and drove past quickly. Hu Yue's house was not my first stop, but I always felt a little uncomfortable with such an unlucky thing in the car.
At this moment, I couldn't care about anything else and went straight to Group 28.
When I walked to the familiar big iron gate, I thought about Liu Yanfu saying that Hu Yue was dead, and what Old Liu said to me, and my heart pounded.
Damn it, uncle, if you don't know if it's a mule or a horse coming out for a ride, I got worried and banged the door hard a few times.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
I knocked on the door here yesterday, but no one answered even though I tried so hard, so today I tried my best to knock on the iron door with my fist as big as a sandbag, making a heavy sound.
Surprisingly, after only a few knocks this time, a woman's voice came from the iron door: "Who is it?"
I was shocked. When I heard the voice, it didn't seem to belong to Hu Yue.
After just one night, the owner of this house changed. I swallowed and felt uneasy.
The door creaked open, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out, stared at me for a few times, and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but I always felt that the woman in front of me was a little bit strange. I cleared my throat and said, "Oh, hello! I'm delivering express. Is this Hu Yue's house?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded and said cautiously: "I am her mother. My family hasn't bought anything recently!"
"Someone sent this to Hu Yue. The mailing address is in this village, No. 2188 Xitou, named Liu Yanfu." I explained.
After hearing me say that the sender's name was Liu Yanfu, Hu Yue's mother was stunned and looked at me with a gloomy face, as if she were looking at a monster.
After a long while, he said to me: "Are you right? Liu Yanfu died in a car accident five years ago!!"
