In a cold room, Wu Peng was lying on the bed. He could no longer hear the voice that had annoyed him countless times. He was told to get up to eat, told him not to sleep late, told him to change clothes frequently, and told him that he should find a girlfriend.
Call him son...
Wu Peng learned to drink and smoke. He drank a lot every night to fall asleep. After waking up crying in the middle of the night, he smoked one cigarette after another.
One night, Wu Peng cried until he couldn't help himself again, and wanted to dig out another bottle of wine from home that his father was reluctant to drink.
Wu Peng searched through all the places in the house where wine could be stored.
In his father Wu Yuanliang's cabinet, he found a tattered and yellowed book. He remembered that this was the book his father would take out when he was a child and told him stories.
Wu Peng took the book to the bed. On the first page of the book, his grandfather's name was written in crooked calligraphy. Wu Peng guessed it was written by his grandfather.
There are some bizarre stories written in the book, most of which were stories that scared me so much that I couldn't sleep when I was a child. My father would laugh and call me a coward, and then sit on the edge of the bed and watch me fall asleep.
The last few pages of the book are written in red, which says "Eight Evil Resentful Ghost Array", also called the Eight Evil Resentful Soul Array.
The record in the book is that when my grandfather was driving away a corpse, he met a stonemason who was traveling with him. The stonemason was not afraid because he had a corpse beside him.
The stonemason told him a lot of strange knowledge. The stonemason said that he kept a few pages of books at home, which were manuscripts left by his ancestor Zhang Yilang. It was these pages of books that allowed him to have enough clothes in the chaotic era. In the book
It records how to use the craftsmanship of a mason to change a person's fortune, such as installing a stone with a carriage carved on it in a certain direction or position of the house. This family will make a lot of money.
"Zhang Yilang" is a local god worshiped by stonemasons in Xiapu County. Legend has it that the stonemason learned from Lu Ban, and together with the carpenters and plasterers, they are known as Luban's three disciples. Luban also enshrines Nuwa as the ancestor, who refined stones to mend the sky, and is regarded as
The true originator of stonemasonry.
The last page of the book was torn off, and it looked like there were some things that Grandpa didn't want to keep in the book. The remaining half page of the page was clearly written in red writing, "The Eight Fiends and Resentment Ghost Formation is not a human art."
Any unauthorized use will be punished by God.
Why are people afraid of being alone? Because when you are alone, there will be a voice deep in your heart. It will ask you over and over again, what should you do next? How should you do it?
From that day on, as Wu Peng lay in bed, the contents of the book appeared in his mind.
Gradually, a terrible idea formed in his mind.
Some time before the building was about to be completed, Wu Peng sneaked into the building one night, buried a red cloth package in several places, and then restored these places.
The project was completed on schedule, and Wu Peng settled the wages to the workers. Instead of rushing home that day, Wu Peng bought paper money, incense, candles and drinks, ran to the back of the building of the health center, got very drunk, and told his father, "Don't do it."
If you are worried about fellow workers, don't be afraid of being alone. You will be with him soon.
Wu Peng knew that something would happen to the health center soon, because he found that his body was getting worse day by day. He thought this was the divine punishment mentioned in the book.
Wu Peng would visit the health center every few days and listen to everyone talking about what happened in the health center. But it was all ordinary and trivial things. It was convenient for people in the town to see a doctor, and they no longer had to go far to the city.
.
Until rumors began to spread in the town that the health center was haunted. Wu Peng began to imagine that the city leaders would investigate the responsibility and bring out Director Fang to hold him accountable.
But he miscalculated, and things did not develop as he imagined.
A few days ago, the doctor at the city hospital told him tactfully that he should eat and drink well in the future.
Wu Peng knew that he didn't have much time left. He thought about dismantling those things. If the commotion continued like this, where would the people in the town go to see a doctor?
By this time, I already understood the cause and effect of the matter. Looking at the man who had been smoking and coughing violently, all the things I wanted to say in my heart turned out to be: "Just take care of yourself!"
The man looked at me in surprise and took a puff of his cigarette: "Shouldn't I be arrested?"
I shook my head and stared at the night sky outside the pavilion. The stars were twinkling. This world should be so beautiful.
Before the man left, he asked me if I wanted to see the book left at home. I shook my head and asked him to go back and burn it. The man chuckled. Indeed, this should not be left here, maybe it did not belong here in the first place.
"Wu Peng, that corpse?" Even though I could tell from his face that no murder had occurred, I still couldn't help but want to confirm.
The man didn't speak, he just turned around and smiled at me, spreading his hands.
Early the next morning, the three of us said goodbye to Dr. Wang Chuan and got on the bus to Bishan County. As for how Dr. Wang Chuan allowed the doctors to start working normally, that was not my concern.
"Little brother Qin Feng, you seem to have become a lot more distant from me recently."
On the bus back to the city from Bishan County, Xiaoyu bumped me with her elbow and pouted, looking unhappy.
Seeing Xiao Yu's cute look, my heart ached inexplicably, and I thought again how great it would be to freeze the picture at this moment forever.
"No, how could it be? I was thinking about something."
I still told Chujiu and Xiaoyu the story Wu Peng told me.
After finishing speaking, Chujiu and Xiaoyu remained silent. There was actually such a secret behind the matter.
"There seem to be two directors named Fang in our hospital, both of whom are fat."
Xiaoyu said this softly and stared out the window, seemingly in a bad mood. After a long time, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the sunny smile returned to his face.
"Are there really corpse chasers in this world?"
Chujiu stuck his head out from the back seat and said proudly: "Of course, my old man's old man has a friend named Sun, who is an authentic corpse chaser. When I was a child, Grandpa Sun came to the village to look for it.
Grandpa tells us stories every day. His grandson is one year younger than me and he has a poisonous snake in his pocket."
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, do the corpse chasers really know how to chase away corpses?"
Xiaoyu's eyes widened and she asked Chujiu curiously.
Chujiu looked at me and I said that I didn’t know either. I had only heard stories about corpse chasers since I was a child, and I didn’t know what the specifics were.
The expression on Chujiu's face became even more proud, and I casually punched his head with two fists. I found that Chujiu's round head was particularly comfortable to hit, and I always wanted to hit it a few times inadvertently.
I laughed out loud, Chujiu covered his head, sat back in his seat, and looked out the window, as if he was unwilling to tell anyone about it.
Xiaoyu glared at me, turned around, reached out and touched Chujiu's head.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, you tell your sister. When we get to the city, I will take you to hot pot."
"Then you promise not to bring Guo Guo, and I will do it!"
