She looked at me and said with difficulty: "After those guests left, my mother-in-law was so tired that she locked the door and went home."
"Early the next morning, she went to the street to buy groceries. When she was paying, she found that the payment she received yesterday was actually..."
"They are all ghost coins."
Sun You's hands holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he said with a panicked expression: "Fifty-three hundred yuan, not a single one of the clothes money for the forty-six guests is real money."
"My mother-in-law was so timid that she fainted at the market."
"When we rushed to the hospital, my mother-in-law hugged me and cried loudly."
"She said that because she was rushing for goods, she forgot the rules of the tailor industry: no clothes will be made on the Qingming Festival night, and the shop will be closed on July 15th."
"Those guests are not normal people, but ghosts."
When I listened to what Sun You said, I felt a cold air coming up from the soles of my feet.
It was broad daylight, it happened to be noon, and the sun was shining brightly outside. I was so frightened.
Not only me, but even Tieshan felt incredible. His eyelids jumped and he asked: "What happened next? How did your mother-in-law do?"
Sun You asked his secretary to open all the curtains to make the office even brighter.
She sipped her tea and continued: "My mother-in-law stayed in the hospital for two days and then went home. She is fine, but she was very frightened."
"The day she came home, I paid a high price to invite a well-known onmyoji to check her out."
"Onmyoji told me that my mother-in-law did not close her shop on the night of Tomb Sweeping Day and was making clothes, so that the ghosts wandering on the road could see her."
"They thought my mother-in-law's tailor shop was a shroud shop in the underworld, so they came to buy it."
"My mother-in-law broke the rules of the tailor profession, and she was still blind. She thought those ghosts were normal people and took their money."
"In this way, both parties have an agreement, which is like making an oath and must abide by it."
"As the saying goes, it is possible to deceive people, but it is difficult to deceive ghosts. Onmyoji said that since my mother-in-law agreed to them, she must make the clothes within two months, and then burn them all for them according to the records in the book."
"Only in this way can this debt be settled."
Tieshan echoed: "That's the truth. I heard Master Lingxi say that when you make a deal with a ghost, you must complete what you promise it. Otherwise, it will haunt you forever until it kills you, and you will be forgiven for breaking your promise.
cost."
I looked at Sun You and said curiously: "The Onmyoji has said this, wouldn't it be over if your mother-in-law just does what he says?"
"I did it, why didn't I do it?" Sun You was afraid and said with a bitter look on his face: "In order to solve this matter as soon as possible, my husband put down his work and stayed in the tailor shop to accompany my mother-in-law and help her.
She made those clothes as quickly as possible."
"My mother-in-law was so anxious that it originally took a month to make these clothes. She worked overtime overnight and finished the clothes in twenty days."
"On the day I burned the clothes, I invited the Onmyoji here again."
"It's right in front of my mother-in-law's tailor shop. At twelve o'clock at night, my mother-in-law folds the clothes, puts them on the ground, and sets them on fire."
"At the same time, my mother-in-law was asked to hold a book and call out the names one by one according to the names left on those things."
Sun You said in a hurried tone: "But no one could have imagined that at that point, at that moment, my mother-in-law's name would be finished, and she would be done just waiting for all her clothes to be burned to ashes."
"At that moment, a basin of foot-washing water fell down from upstairs."
"The fire was extinguished all at once, completely."
