"Old man...why did you go ahead of me...how can I survive without my child..."
At eleven o'clock in the evening, I knelt in the middle of the mourning hall, crying heartbrokenly and out of breath toward the high-hanging portrait.
There were seven or eight cards behind me, and the relatives and friends of the deceased gathered around the table to play cards. No one cared about what I was saying.
After crying for forty minutes, I immediately stopped crying, sniffed, took out a tissue to wipe away my tears, stood up and rubbed my numb legs, then walked across the mahjong table and found my employer who was sitting outside the mourning hall, eating sunflower seeds. .
"Sister Ling, it's time, let's pay."
"Sister, you cried well. I will come to you next time when I cry in mourning!"
Sister Ling took out the 600 yuan that had been wrapped in advance and handed it to me.
The corners of my mouth twitched, thinking that this eldest sister has a big heart, and she would say such things easily.
I didn't answer, put the money in my pocket, and said goodbye to her.
My name is Su Qingzheng. I have no father or mother, and was raised by my second uncle.
I am twenty-one years old and a senior at University C.
My second uncle passed away four years ago, so I lived with my second uncle’s son, Su Xiao.
Due to various reasons, the beautiful internship arrangement assigned by the school did not fall on me, so I had to find an internship on my own while doing odd jobs to earn money.
A car with a sign of 207 was parked at the gate of the community.
This car belongs to Gu Ting. She is my best friend. She can't go back to school at this time, so she came to pick me up and take me home.
Her family provides full-service funeral services, and I occasionally go to her house to help. She also introduced me to the mourning work today.
After getting on the bus, I received a call informing me that I would go to the wreath shop at the end of the antique street in the east of the city tomorrow to interview a clerk.
Originally I was still wondering, the wreath shop is open in the antique street? And how can I get a good job by notifying the interviewer so late?
But after listening to the other party briefly explain the job content and benefits, I decided to give it a try.
I usually stay in the store, and when there are not enough people, I go out to set up a mourning hall, or deliver wreaths, urns, etc.
No work experience is required. It’s almost like helping me at Gu Ting’s house. The salary is 300 a day and there are additional subsidies for delivery.
This kind of treatment is like a pie in the world!
The interview time was agreed upon, and I happily hung up the phone.
My brother Su Xiao was on a business trip for a long time due to work reasons, so when I returned home I found no one there, so I was not surprised.
Because I was a little tired from mourning, I slept until noon the next day.
It was already one o'clock after lunch. I took a shower, changed my clothes and went out.
This shop at the end of the Antique Street only has a facade of about ten square meters. There are several wreaths and paper figures piled at the door. The inside is dark and looks a bit eerie.
I walked to the door and knocked twice, and an old man in his seventies or eighties came out.
He was leaning on a cane and looked at me with a pair of cloudy eyes. He didn't say a word, but just glanced at me.
I felt uncomfortable looking at him. Just when I wanted to break the silence, he suddenly laughed.
"Miss Su, please come inside. My young master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wait for me long?
My capital letters are circled. Does this imply that I'm late?
We made an appointment at four in the afternoon, and now it's not even half past three!
The young master is the boss here? Now the Huaquan'er shop is also equipped with a butler?
I was pulled into the shop in a daze, and when I came to my senses again, I had followed the old man through the shop and into the backyard.
The old man took me into a room. There was a mahogany screen in the room, and I couldn't see the back.
As soon as I entered, I felt a gust of wind coming towards me, making the door behind me creak. I shrank my neck and walked around the screen to go inside.
What I didn't expect was that there was a table behind the screen with a pair of white candles burning on it, and in front of the table, there was... a coffin!!
Damn it! What the hell! Is it a prank?
I screamed and ran out without thinking, but before I could get to the door, the door slammed shut. My body shook violently with the sound of the door.
My heart tightened, and I rushed to the door in three steps at a time. I pulled the doorknob and twisted and pulled it hard. I could obviously twist it, but I couldn't open the door. It seemed like it was locked from the outside.
I slammed the door panel hard and shouted loudly: "Open the door! Let me out! I don't want this job anymore! Let me go!%...@##￥...&..."
However, not only did the door not open, but the voice of the old man from before came from outside, "Miss Su, after entering this door, you will not be able to get out without being interviewed by the young master."
It’s the young master again! Fuck your sister’s young master!
I was startled and frightened, so I turned back tremblingly, carefully walked along the wall to the corner, looked around the screen, and scanned the room with my eyes.
The whole room was eerily quiet. Apart from my breathing and heartbeat, the only sound left was the squeaking sound of the pair of white candles burning.
I feel my heartbeat is getting faster and faster!
Damn it... there's no one else here besides me!
That so-called young master isn't just lying in that coffin, is he?
Just be sure not to collapse someone from it later!
Just as I was thinking this, the coffin opened automatically!
Just as I thought, a person suddenly sat up from inside!
Suddenly, the temperature of the entire room dropped sharply, and the cold air centered on the coffin struck all around. A layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on my skin.
I was so frightened that I screamed repeatedly. My legs were so weak that I couldn't stand firmly. I didn't dare to see what the person doing it looked like. I slid to the ground with my back against the wall. I wished I could sink right now.
Bury me in it!
I kept thinking silently in my heart: Don’t come over, don’t come over, don’t come over…
However, things went exactly the opposite way, whatever you were afraid of would happen!
Although I didn't look up, I felt that...well, I don't know if it was a ghost or something, walking towards me.
Because I feel that the temperature is getting lower and lower, I don't know if I am scared or because I am shaking like chaff now.
The ball is over. With this temperature, it can’t be human!
Thinking of this, I became even more scared.
The thing came to me, stretched out a hand and grabbed my arm.
The palm of my hand was frighteningly cold, like a frozen soda pop taken out of the freezer in summer.
The blood in my body also cooled down rapidly due to this touch.
"Ahhhhhh help-" I screamed in fear, turned over and closed my eyes, kicking and hitting the ghost who was dragging me, "let me go, let me go!!"
I was completely at a loss, and there was only one sentence left in my mind: What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
I am only twenty-one years old, and I have never even been in a serious relationship, let alone become rich and reach the pinnacle of life...
I don't want to die here!
"Shut up!" A cold male voice sounded above my head, the voice was low and hoarse, full of impatience.
I was yelled at and paused for two seconds, and then I was punched and kicked more ferociously, as if I was desperate for my life.
Didn’t you say that ghosts are afraid of evil people? I will show you evil today!
I swore the most vicious and unpleasant curse words in my life, spitting like a gangster.
I felt the ghost take a few steps back in disgust. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind came and swept me around, until I finally fell against the wall.
I fell so badly that my eyes flashed with gold.
When my eyes focused again, a pair of white high-heeled shoes trimmed with gold came into my eyes. Going up, there was a white robe with a plain belt trimmed with jasper tied around the waist.
I am filled with despair, this is still an ancient ghost!
I will definitely finish all the Taoist practices from ancient times to the present today!
I suddenly started crying spinelessly, begging for mercy while crying, "Please... wuwuwu... please let me go... I don't taste good..."
"Whether it tastes good or not, I won't know until I try it." This chapter has been completed!
