I still remember that when the man said it was because of a tree, Hu Zongren actually sneered. In fact, I was also very surprised. I have seen many kinds of emotions, between people, between people and animals,
Even between people and ghosts, but I have never heard of such a strong relationship between people and a tree, so much so that when someone speaks rudely, he can even stand up and speak for the tree.
He told me that he later understood that the circle drawn on the tree, with an X inside the circle, meant that the tree needed to be cut down, but not for discarding, but for selling. I thought about it carefully.
Look, the sycamore tree originally grew very quickly and had little economic value, so the only reason why it was not destroyed was probably because it was too big and could be sold for money. This was confirmed by this man.
.He told me that this was also the main reason for intensifying the conflict.
The man said that during the dispute, he became angry and refused to sign, so the developer and his people had to leave. In the following days, several groups of people from the developer came to discuss terms with him, and he only had one condition, which was
You can demolish houses and roads, but you can't demolish this tree. Naturally, the developer will not listen to his boring words that the tree has its own secrets and childhood memories. Seeing his firm attitude, he agreed to it.
.But this kind of promise is just to trick him into signing.
The man said that one month after he signed the contract, he moved from his hometown to the county town, and the resettlement fee from the demolition office was paid to him in full, once every six months. So they also rented a house in the county town, but because there was no store
, he had to go out to work to make ends meet before the new house was repaired. It probably lasted more than a year. One day he was idle, so he told his wife that he hadn’t gone back to his hometown for a long time. Let’s go back and visit when we are free today.
Let's see what kind of cultivation he has achieved now. That day, his wife saw that he was in such a rare good mood, so she accompanied him back to his hometown.
My house is still there and has not been demolished yet, but the door has been removed and the word "demolished" has been painted on it. However, the sycamore tree has been cut down long ago, leaving only a stump and the trace of the break from the stump.
It seems that it was a long time ago, maybe it was cut down a few days after he moved out.
When the man said this, his body began to tremble a little. I guessed that even after such a long time, he still cared about this matter very much. If he cared about it, he would definitely form an obsession. So I paused for a while and did not ask any questions.
, so as not to continue irritating him. The expression of ghost's emotions is a little more direct than that of us humans, so if I continue to ask questions at this moment, it may become irritable and agitated.
Later, he said that he was so angry that he felt that he was being fooled. Although his wife kept telling him not to be so angry and to calm down, she still couldn't control it. He rushed directly to the nearby construction site office and quickly found the person who signed the contract at that time.
At that time, one of the people present was beaten up by the man before he even remembered who the man was. Others in the office pulled him away and called the police. After the police arrived,
Only then did I learn what happened. Maybe for people who don’t have this man’s life experience, it’s difficult for them to understand that a person suddenly beat someone crazy because of a tree that has little economic value. Therefore, the police used the excuse of provoking trouble.
, took him back to the police station and detained him for several days, and also asked him to apologize in person to the person in the developer's unit who he beat.
He said that he was originally impulsive and should apologize, but when he apologized, he was ridiculed by other developers who were watching. He himself is over 50 years old and an honest person. He has rules and regulations.
After standing there for a long time and being criticized and ridiculed by a group of people, I returned home, feeling depressed and couldn't afford to fall ill. In addition, my health was not very good as I got older, so I soon became seriously ill, and I have been suffering from it ever since.
It could never be saved again.
I asked the man at that time, I said that in this case, no matter how depressed you are, you should go to those developers. You are entangled with an ordinary person who is not related to you, just because your shroud at that time was him.
Produced in a factory? You have gone far enough to express your anger. After being trapped and reciting the requiem spell, the ghost who is being questioned does not need to use any pretense. As long as it starts, it is actually willing to tell you the truth.
, because except for me and Hu Zongren at this moment, it probably knows that no one can help it anymore. The man told me that after he died, his wife was too hard hit and his son also rushed back from the army.
After the son learned about the cause of his father's death, he ran to the construction site to argue with the developer. The developer actually didn't need to pay any attention to it, but seeing that a life had been lost, this would have a very bad impact on subsequent construction.
So in order to settle the matter, he agreed to compensate some money and be responsible for all the funeral expenses. This money may not be much to the developer, but it is of great help to the family.
So I asked the man, so when there was a funeral, the shroud they put on you was bought from this man's factory, right? He said yes. I asked him again, but they are a factory, and
If he wasn't a direct dealer, why would he travel so far just to buy a shroud? He said that he hadn't thought about that much, and that he didn't intend to get involved with this man until he lost it.
hat.
This is precisely the strangest thing for me. I asked him, were you cremated? He said that he was cremated in Meishan. I said, how could you lose your hat? The man appeared in a hazy tone, he
He said that he did not remember very clearly. He only remembered that after entering the stove, he could not see anything clearly, and then walked a long way. He could only walk towards the light, and some people appeared on the road, but
He had no idea who those people were. They seemed to be just a bunch of shadows. Those shadows could make that kind of strange laughter and robbed everything on him, except the money and paper ashes in the birthday bag, and himself.
hat. He told me that in the few days after he could see clearly, he repeatedly thought about whether he should seek revenge from the developer. I know that the few days he was talking about must have been within the first seven days.
The Chinese say forty-nine days after death, which refers to the forty-nine days counted from the day of death. According to legend, this is the longest time that the underworld can stay in the human world for the soul after death.
These forty-nine days will be divided into seven days as a unit, from the first seven to the last seven. The first seven days are the time when consciousness is clearest. They are reserved for the deceased to linger on the world and visit those who have not had time to say goodbye. Take a look.
How do your relatives and friends mourn you in front of your soul, and also walk around the places you walked during your lifetime? Logically speaking, after the seven-day period is up, people who are more conscious will choose to leave on their own. This is the only way to leave without the help of others.
As for the time of death, after seven days to the day of the last seven, its consciousness will become more and more blurred, and its human temperament will gradually disappear until it is gone. However, in the forty-two days from the first seven to the last seven, they are
Those who cannot leave on their own are handed over to people from the underworld to lead the way, that is, the ghosts and gods we often call bull-headed horse-faced and black-and-white impermanence, who have specialized duties. Usually there are more souls in this part, because no one wants to die.
No matter how much time you have, you will still be nostalgic and feel that it is not enough. But after forty-nine days, you will completely change from a soul to a ghost, and your consciousness will be chaotic and blurred. Except for those ghosts with strong resentment, they generally
It is in a state that reoccurs regularly or appears under certain inducements, but more often than not, it wanders around, becomes weaker and weaker, and finally becomes a lonely ghost.
I once asked Granny Huang about what she said about the underworld. Although she is a Buddhist, except for her different views on reincarnation after death, her understanding of the forty-nine days is actually similar to ours. In Granny Huang’s case,
It seems that those who leave within seven days after death are mostly open-minded people who can become former disciples of Buddha. Those who leave between the first seven and the last seven are taken away by the underworld, but they have not exceeded the final time limit, so they will be
King Yama asks, King Yama will decide whether you want to go to hell and suffer suffering based on what you did during your lifetime. And those who are taken away by the underworld after forty-nine days are equivalent to being caught as fugitives, and you can imagine their fate.
Grandma Huang also told me at the time, so you know the importance of your existence. Most of the wandering ones have exceeded the time limit but have not been captured. It is a meritorious deed that you can give them a ride.
This is why I have to ask carefully every time, because only after knowing the reason can I know which method I should choose to send the soul.
The man said that he also wanted to go to the developer, but he couldn't get close. There was something else near their place. He wouldn't let me in, saying that I didn't have a hat and was disheveled. I was shocked. I had never heard of this before.
So I quickly asked him what the thing that stopped you looked like. He told me that it was wearing a white gown and looked similar to a human except that its skin was very white. There were several of them. I
As he approached, he stopped in front of me. He was sweeping the floor with a broom, but he was not holding a broom.
I quickly recalled this kind of ghost. First of all, I was sure that it was something supported by the developer. It was similar to a doorman. It was specially used to block the debt collectors and ghosts who came to the door. Many developers would support this thing.
, because they knew that in the process of acquiring land, they would inevitably destroy other people's graves, so they raised such things. Although I didn't know the specific names of these things, they should be some kind of imps. So I asked that person
Man, is that why you keep looking for hats?
He said yes, but he didn't know how to find it, but he soon found out that the shroud he was wearing was produced by this man's factory, so it inexplicably got on him.
I asked him, what did you mean when you said you were going to haunt him for the rest of his life? He stopped answering, and his dull expression changed. He began to grin, not sure whether he was laughing or gritting his teeth. He said,
It's so comfortable to have a body...so comfortable...
