Hu Zongren still had a lot of money and paper with him, but there was no brazier here. But we were just doing it anyway, and there was no need for it. So I drew a deposit with stones on the ground and asked Hu Zongren to burn all the money and paper in it.
, to avoid attracting some ghosts inexplicably. I looked at the time, and it was already close to four in the afternoon. Many middle-aged and elderly people were already starting to go home to prepare dinner, so it was just right.
Hu Zongren began to burn paper. He deliberately burned it very slowly so that the time would last longer. After burning about two stacks of money and paper, a shout came from above our heads: "It's downstairs! What's going on!"
! You are not listening to the greeting! I told you not to burn here! It is starting to burn again! Is it bringing bad luck to us?" It was the voice of an elderly woman, who sounded about 60 years old. There was no clue from her tone.
It was hard to tell that this was not the first time she had scolded her like this. The Fujianese employee must have been scolded by her once. So I raised my head, followed the sound, and found that he was on the balcony on the right side of the third floor.
, an old woman holding a clothes drying stick in her hand, which was placed on the ground, and her other hand on her waist, was looking at us with a look of displeasure on her face. It was obvious that she was the one who was yelling and scolding.
It's like Sun Wukong is about to fight a monster.
So Hu Zongren and I looked at each other, deliberately ignored her, and continued to squat down, slowly burning each piece one by one. Hu Zongren even took out a few more stacks from his bag and placed them where the old woman could see them.
The position means that we are still early, so you can scold slowly.
Sure enough, when Hu Zongren did this, the old woman started to curse and quarrel, saying that the trucks in your supermarket were rumbling all day long, which affected our rest, so we didn't say anything, and she even burned paper in front of our door. Are you saying that?
The ancestors are old? Are there dead people in your house? The old lady in Chongqing is still very good at cursing, especially this kind of woman who has just entered old age and has not completely lost touch with menopause. The more she scolds, the more excited she gets and the more she scolds.
The more exciting it became, Hu Zongren and I couldn't help but want to laugh. In order to further anger her, Hu Zongren took out two huge candles from his bag, lit them and plugged them in, stood up, stretched lazily, and then
He squatted down and burned slowly one by one. Hu Zongren's provocative action made the aunt completely angry. She began to greet us with obscene words, and her voice changed from an initial quarrel to a roar. Her loud voice
This attracted the attention of many neighbors in this building. I saw many residents on this side gathered on the balcony. Some were silent, and some also followed the aunt, saying that we were unethical and burned paper every day.
There are some unlucky things here.
So Hu Zongren got even more excited. This guy was always a troublemaker. He heard more and more accusations, and they were mixed with each other. We couldn't hear who was saying what, and the voices of men and women were mixed in.
Together, for a while, Hu Zongren and I almost became enemies of the residents in this building. So Hu Zongren stood up, took out a stick of incense, and pretended to be a conductor of a concert.
The noisy residents started playing time. Such a provocative move aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and threw an egg towards where we were squatting.
I quickly moved out of the way, but still avoided it and continued to burn paper, so a man's voice yelled, "You damn bastard! If you can, don't run away!" So I whispered to Hu Zongren, someone is coming down, and he probably wants to beat him up.
We are here, please be gentle, these are old men and women, don’t really get into a fight. Hu Zongren said, don’t worry, I have a sense of proportion. Maybe the residents here couldn’t help but rushed downstairs when they saw the man.
, so many people followed them out of the door. The corridor became bustling and everyone was coming fiercely. If it were before, I might have run away while they were going downstairs. But at this moment, Hu Zongren had his arms wrapped around each other.
Then, he stood in front of the corridor, holding his chin high, looking at the people going downstairs with contempt, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a hooligan.
On the contrary, when Hu Zongren stopped, the neighbors who came downstairs angrily, probably wanting to beat us both up, did not dare to do it easily. Hu Zongren faced one of the old men who looked the most excited.
Say, come on, tell me, do you want to fuck me? Hu Zongren is more of a ruffian than me, so when he asked, the old man didn't even dare to speak. He was cursing the most energetically just now while standing on the balcony.
The aunt yelled at Hu Zongren and said, "How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to burn incense and paper downstairs. We are all old people here. Who are you burning incense for? You are hurting us."
Die soon?
As soon as she started, everyone started to make a fuss again. Hu Zongren still ignored him, but stood with a smile. So I walked over and said, we don't want to burn it here, but our boss is from Fujian.
He believed this, and it would be impossible to get a good relationship if he didn’t get angry. Since Hu Zongren was playing the white face, I naturally had no choice but to pretend to be the red face. My tone even contained a plea for forgiveness, but Hu Zongren still looked the same.
He looked arrogant. This guy's eyes were already bigger than mine, and now he was staring as if he wanted to eat people. I told the neighbors that our boss has their local customs, and we, as part-time workers, can't change this.
I also hope that the neighbors will be more accommodating. As soon as I said this, everyone started to criticize again. One of the aunts who took the lead said, "We don't care if your boss wants to do business to make money, but you can't affect the people around you."
Shit! You guys load and unload goods here every day, and you make a mess. In the middle of the night, there is still the clanging sound of the iron plate of the truck. We have tolerated you for so many years, and we have never said that you are screwing.
, but if you want to spend money here to bully us, then we can’t agree to anything you say!
This aunt has a loud voice and a harsh tone. It seems that she has never suffered much when she was young. She was given way to by everyone, or she is strong enough and others are no match for her. She is not afraid of Hu Zongren's ruffian appearance at all.
, she scolded her with great vigor. This is the case for this person. If she takes the lead and gets the support of the people around her, she will become more and more powerful. Sure enough, after she finished speaking, everyone started talking about where we used to be here.
Isn’t it so dirty now? When you came, all the rubbish was piled on us. You look like a bastard. After saying this, the resident pointed to the rubbish pile behind us. Another aunt followed.
He said, the year before last, your truck turned around here and smashed our table tennis table. At that time, we said we would pay for it, but you just paid for it and just sat with us for a while?
At this time, the aunt said again, you guys stopped burning here some time ago. We all have to give in and everything will be fine. Should the war start again? Just treat us as honest people. If you don’t have money, we will
Are you easy to bully? As soon as the aunt said such inflammatory words, everyone started to get a little excited again. At first, the arrogant old man saw that Hu Zongren looked arrogant, so he asked Hu Zongren, "How do you stand up in this posture?"
Do you want to be a bastard? Hey handsome guy? Want to be a star guy? Hu Zongren smiled and said, it’s none of your business. So the old man started to push Hu Zongren a little impolitely, and Hu Zongren endured it for a few times, and then
He immediately grabbed the old man's hand. The old man tried to break away but found that he was no match for Hu Zongren, so he stretched out his legs to kick Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren suddenly lifted the old man up and put his hands on his armpits.
Next, he placed him on the broken table tennis table as if he were holding a child.
I saw that if I didn't stop it, it might really turn into a siege later, so I quickly comforted the old man and said, "Uncle, don't make things difficult for us. This is just a custom, and it's not really targeted."
Just let us burn your building. No one in your building will be affected by this. How can you say we are harming you?
I deliberately pretended to be anxious because I never forgot my red-faced mission. As a result, the aunt suddenly shouted loudly again, who said it was okay? Our Aunt Zhang on the fourth floor just came out some time ago.
She's dead, it's because she's dead that we don't allow you to burn paper here, and you still say it's not bad for us? I thought about it carefully, probably what this aunt was talking about was the first time she had a dispute with a supermarket employee, so
It is said that one of the reasons for the dispute at that time was that a resident named Zhang Ma in this building passed away for some reason, and some residents thought that the supermarket burned paper at the door of her unit all day long, and that she was killed.
This Zhang Ma is most likely the old woman who was repeatedly witnessed being haunted in the supermarket this time.
Although this statement is very absurd, there is not only no scientific reason, but also no metaphysical reason. But this little information is not enough, so I continued to pretend that this person will definitely get sick and die when he gets old. You can't just because of your building
If someone dies, just blame this matter on us! I deliberately emphasized the word "blame", which means you fools should stop messing around and talking around. Sure enough, the aunt suddenly became angry again,
She loudly accused me and said, why do you call me Lai? Zhang Ma climbed up and down every day to buy things, and she was always in good health. But after you started burning incense, she died suddenly. You still said that it had nothing to do with you. What the hell?
, is it true that human life is worthless in your opinion, your money is money, and our lives are just trash?
This aunt is really powerful, I guess only Fu Yunni is her opponent. So I continued to pretend to be anxious and asked the aunt, how did Zhang Ma die?
