Gu Mian sat on the sofa and asked about the textile factory: "I came here this time to ask about Shenghong Textile Factory. Do you know about this factory?"
The landlord was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You know, I used to be an old employee of that factory... This apartment building used to be the family building of the textile factory. You can see that the names are similar."
She only reacted when she said Yuwen was good.
Shenghong Textile Factory and Hongsheng Apartment, both of them just changed their names by one word.
"Then do you know about the fire in Shenghong Textile Factory? I heard that a woman seemed to have been burned to death in that fire."
The landlord was stunned when she heard this. She glanced at Gu Mian and the others with strange expressions: "Why do you ask this?"
"Some of us encountered some strange things, which may be related to this dead person."
After hearing this, the landlady's wrinkled face showed an expression of "Sure enough," she looked at Gu Mian and then at the others, as if she was hesitant to speak.
After struggling for a while, the landlord spoke again, but this time he lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard: "To be honest, what happened after that woman died was really strange."
Yu Wenhao opened his eyes slightly and looked at the landlord eagerly.
The landlord then whispered: "I know that everything related to the fire will end badly..."
She sighed and shook her head as she spoke.
Gu Mian said, "Can you tell me more specifically?"
"Don't talk nonsense about this. After that person was burned to death, everyone who had anything to do with her encountered strange things. It was like a curse. It seemed that everyone was entangled with her."
"After her death, the factory was not very prosperous. It closed down not long after. I don't know if she was pestered."
"The people who had a slightly better relationship with her in the past had their families hit by disasters one after another. Basically all the people I knew were dead."
"Everyone said at first that she had a grudge against her death, so they kept pestering the living person. However, she was worshiped, and she was saved. Some people even invited a goddess to perform rituals, but they couldn't invite her away."
"Later, everyone she knew had an accident. At that time, everyone was in danger. No one dared to mention that person again, for fear that if he mentioned it secretly, he would be entangled with her..."
Gu Mian frowned slightly, with so much resentment, could it be suicide?
Yu Wenhao also asked this question: "Who set the fire?"
The landlord paused and then said hesitantly: "She put it there herself."
Many people in Yuwen were surprised. If it was suicide, the resentment shouldn't be so great. Could there be any other hidden reasons in this?
Gu Mian then asked: "Do you know why she set the fire?"
Did you commit suicide because you suffered a great grievance? For example, you were defrauded of money and sex. If this is the case, it is understandable that you would turn into a ghost after committing suicide.
At this time, the landlord suddenly looked around and lowered his voice again: "It turns out that it's hard for me to speak out about this, because I'm afraid I'll get caught up in it, but when I think about it carefully, I'm older and have old bones. It turns out that I can still survive."
It won’t be long before I tell you secretly..."
"That person committed suicide. No one forced her to commit suicide, and no one made her suffer. She just committed suicide, and it had nothing to do with other people."
Strange, since no one else had ever made her suffer any grievances, why would she commit suicide?
The landlord continued: "In fact, she can only blame herself for this matter. Everyone knew it, but no one dared to say it at the time."
"I remember that it was around 1987 when she died. At that time, electric lights seemed to have just become popular in our country. There were power outages every day, and the electricity bill was extremely expensive. I couldn't bear to turn it on at night. I only lit a kerosene lamp, which was covered with a glass cover.
Seed, you know, right?"
Gu Mian nodded.
"She was on duty in the warehouse that night, lighting a kerosene lamp, but she took a nap while on duty at night, put the lamp aside and fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, she saw that the goods in the warehouse were keeping the lamp burning.
Yes, I burned a few boxes.”
"The person is fine. It seems that the fire was not big. It only burned a dozen boxes of things, but there was stuff in those boxes."
"The bits and pieces add up to a total of more than sixty yuan. Don't think that sixty yuan is small. That was in 1987. I remember that our daily salary was only a few cents at that time. Sixty yuan was just
The price is sky-high”
"The factory certainly can't bear these losses by itself, but it feels that she can't afford it, so we discuss with her and let her pay half first, and the remaining half will be deducted from her salary."
"She was a little girl of eighteen or nineteen at that time. She had never seen anything in the world. How could she have money? And there were several sisters in the family. Her parents found someone to drag her along and finally got her into the factory. She
I don’t dare to go home and talk about this.”
"This matter has been put off again and again. It lasted for more than half a year. The factory couldn't wait any longer, so they said they wanted to find her parents."
"She panicked and borrowed money from everywhere, but no one was willing to lend her money. In the end, she couldn't borrow a few yuan."
"If she couldn't borrow money, she would scold them for being hypocritical, scold the factory for being impersonal, and want to force people to death."
"After she finished cursing that day, she couldn't be found. The factory thought she had run away, and wanted to go to her house to find her parents the next day. But who would have thought that the warehouse would burn down again that night, and this time it would be huge.
"Fire"
"The girl who lived in the same dormitory with her saw the suicide note she left. She said that she was forced to death by the factory and that she wanted to return with that warehouse of goods."
"But after the fire started, she seemed to regret it again. I happened to be on duty at that time, and I heard her shouting for help inside, calling for someone to go in and save her."
"The fire was too big, and it was night, and there were not many people at all. When she saw no one went in to save her, she started yelling... saying that those heartless things would die a good death..."
"The scolding didn't take long, and she became silent inside... There was a girl who happened to be on duty in the warehouse that burned down that night. Because she was far away from the source of the fire, she was burned a little, but luckily she was rescued.
It’s...half of my face is burned, and my whole life is ruined.”
"The parents of this girl with a ruined face couldn't afford to raise her. She was given to relatives as soon as she was born. She was already disliked, and her face was ruined. Her family just didn't want her anymore."
"I saw that she was pitiful, so I took her in and let her live with me...it's just opposite. If you want to know the specific situation at that time, you can ask her."
