"I just read that passage. It's called a requiem banquet with four meats and one vegetable. The five dishes are chicken, duck, fish, meat and dates. This banquet is not for the living, but for the dead."
"Um...."
I nodded and said, "I'm listening, you continue to blow."
"Fuck."
"Don't worry, I'm not bragging."
He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "I joined my master's business when I was eight years old. I helped the dead put on shrouds at the age of ten. I received the true biography of my master Babaoshan Qi Longdong at the age of fifteen. I opened my own shop at the age of twenty. In fact,
I have long seen that there is something wrong with Mr. Bai, that day, do you know why I gave you my business card?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
"You don't know normal because you are an ordinary person."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the mourning hall not far away.
"Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Bai actually died that day. Didn't he live for two more days after being rescued? He was not the one who survived later. There was something else that took over Mr. Bai's body and made him live for two more days.
God, I think it might be a woman."
"Don't you think about it, why didn't Mr. Bai make a will before? Instead, he made a will when he woke up. It's very abnormal. Who in the right mind would make such a strange will?"
My eyelids twitched inadvertently but I said nothing.
He continued: "I heard that the place where the Bai family plans to bury people is the wasteland north of the National Cotton Factory, and there is a pear tree growing there.
"I remember my master said before that there are five unclean places in old Xianyang."
"Er Cotton Factory Lishu Di, No. 102 on the first floor of Zhonghua Garden Community, the old building of Weicheng Middle School, around the signal tower of the cinema, and the men's toilet of Dark Blue Internet Cafe."
"Look at the number one pear tree field in the Second Cotton Factory. Do you think it is ferocious or not? There is one more important thing I forgot to tell you. You don't have to believe me but I have to tell you. You have a dead look on your face.
Let me ask you, have you offended Mr. Bai and made him hate you?"
I was stunned when I heard what he said, and I thought it couldn't be possible. I offered the old man two cigarettes, and he finished smoking and left.
I think he should thank me. How could he hold grudge against me? He couldn't.
After thinking about it, I asked: "You mean... Mr. Bai wants to take me with him?"
"Yeah... more or less." He nodded.
I asked again: "Then how do you want to solve it? Do you want money or things?"
Manager Niu snapped his fingers.
"Brother, don't talk about money, it's too vulgar. If you talk about support, it's not for me, but for my master. It's our fate that you met me in Tonghui Hospital."
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand."
"You don't have to worry about anything, I'll settle the matter for you."
Hearing this, I said happily: "Boss Niu, how old do you think I am? I seem to have 850,000 people?"
Manager Niu frowned, "How much do you have? We can discuss it."
I said I only had 20 yuan in my pocket, and you asked me to buy the wreaths. I bought a pack of 12 fireworks, and I still have eight yuan, okay?
"Eight...eight dollars??"
"You think I'm begging for food!"
Manager Niu pointed at my face and said: "You're done, you're done, just wait until something happens in the next few days! Don't come to me then!"
I turned around and left.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Seeing me walking away, Manager Niu stood there and shouted: "Eight hundred! Can you give me eight hundred?"
