This woman was wearing a black dress and looked to be in her thirties. Her face was a little haggard, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She walked very lightly, and she looked like a lady.
"Boss, buy something." After the woman came in, her eyes began to look around the room.
She has a nice speaking voice and sounds very gentle.
Lao Wang nodded and took a few steps forward. After seeing the woman clearly, he said with an ouch, "It's Mrs. Guo! What do you need?"
After looking at the house for a while, the woman said, "I want a pair of golden boys and girls, a horse, a paper coffin for burial, and a pair of red embroidered shoes with a red thread."
Hearing this, Lao Wangtou nodded like he had written down what the woman wanted!
But I heard something was wrong!
I find it a bit strange for a woman to beg for something!
Is this what a normal dead person needs? What a normal dead person needs at most is a golden boy, a wreath, and a horse. What about the paper coffin, red embroidered shoes, and a red thread at the back?
Is this the custom here?
Just when I was thinking that, Lao Wang let out a sigh and said, "The golden boy and the horse are fine. Why do you want to be buried with the paper coffin, embroidered shoes and red thread?"
It turns out that this is not the custom here, but what the women want.
I said how could there be such a custom, burial paper coffin, embroidered shoes, and red thread, this is very wrong! It is definitely not something for the dead.
The woman is quite beautiful and has elegant manners. She does not look like an ordinary person! Just now, the old Wangtou called her Mrs. Guo, which means that she is married. She is married! Judging from her face, she has a hidden disease in the corner of her eye. That is the husband and wife.
The uterus is damaged.
She must be widowed, and her husband has been widowed for some years.
I lost my husband at a young age, and I am not a husband. Now I am still doing these things, which makes me a little confused.
The woman looked at Lao Wangtou and said a little shyly, "Then you have something at home?" ?"
She could avoid the topic, and Lao Wangtou also knew what the other party meant, so he said, "Okay, yes."
As he spoke, Lao Wang turned around and looked for something without asking any more questions. While looking for something, the woman raised her head and looked at the two of us. When she saw us staring at her, she nodded at us.
nodded.
I looked at her and smiled as a response!
I don’t know how to put it, but women give me a very strange feeling. I can’t put it into words, but it’s just not normal.
But I didn't stop for a long time. It wasn't good to stand in the corridor and stare at other women like this.
After returning to the room, Fatty Wu asked me, "Mr. Li, what's going on with that woman? Why do I feel so weird about her?"
I glanced at Fatty Wu and thought, this guy can do it, I can tell from this.
But what he said next made me realize it. He just opened his mouth and said it casually.
"I think that woman seems to be a female ghost. Could this place be like Ye Shisan's place, doing business with ghosts? It's a woman who comes to buy these things late at night. We are very particular about this place.
, Women can’t buy these things, not to mention they can’t buy them at night, they can’t buy them during the day either.”
I hummed and said, "It's okay, go to bed first! That woman is not a ghost, she is a human being, and this place is not the kind of place you think of doing business with dead people. The boss has some skills, and there is no Yin Qi in this place."
"Really?" Fatty Wu confirmed with me with his eyes widened.
I hummed and said, "Yes, really."
He then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you say that, I'll be relieved. I'll take a shower first!"
As he spoke, Fatty Wu went to the bathroom.
But after I sat in the room for a while, I got up and walked out. I felt it was necessary to ask this woman something! At least what she did with those things, I needed to ask.
Because I always feel that this woman is very strange, so strange that it makes me feel a little abnormal.
I don’t know why it’s strange, it’s just my own feeling!
When I came downstairs again, the woman had left. Lao Wangtou was standing at the door, about to turn around. It seemed that he had just sent the woman away.
When he turned around and saw me, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Oh, my little brother is not asleep yet?"
I looked outside the door and asked, "Do you know that woman just now?"
He chuckled and said, "I know her from a nearby village, Muhe Village. Her husband is the richest man in our town, a very wealthy man. However, he is older, about twenty years older than her, two years older than her."
He died years ago.”
Speaking of this, Lao Wang shook his head and wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.
"Is it because after her husband died, the property did not belong to her?" This was what Lao Wangtou wanted to say, but I saw it, so I simply pointed it out and said it directly. .??.
As soon as he heard what I said, Lao Wangtou nodded and said, "Isn't that right? Guo Chunda has a son. He married her for the second time. His ex-wife died. He has a son and a daughter who are about the same age as her. I don't know who she is."
What did you think, marrying such an old person? Now it’s better, the person dies, the money is not made, and you have to remain a widow for at least three years."
“Come and buy these things from me now, and I don’t know what to do with them!”
The implication of these words is that the woman just went there for other people's money, but in the end she didn't get any benefits, and now she has to remain a widow for three years.
Although Lao Wangtou said this a bit gloatingly, there is nothing wrong with what he said. When someone is a concubine, they only do it for other people's money. This kind of person is indeed Should be laughed at.
But does this woman really go here for other people’s money? I think she seems to be from a scholarly family, so why does she go here for other people’s money?
Thinking of this, I asked, "Does her family have no money?"
When Lao Wangtou was asked this question, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know this, and I don't know where she is. Don't you know that I am like this? I am almost helpless."
As a householder, I just chatted with people when I went out and listened to them talk a bit."
Yes! Not only does this guy talk a lot, he also likes to gossip.
It seems that gossip is not only the prerogative of women, some men also do it!
"By the way, she just bought these things from you. Didn't anyone die in her family?" I changed the topic to this place.
Lao Wangtou frowned, shook his head and said, "Probably not. This Muhe Village is not far from the town. If someone is dead! I should know. I haven't heard anyone say it, so he probably isn't dead."
If they are not bought for the dead, they are bought for ritual purposes. What ritual rituals can be performed by buying those things?
"What's going on? Little brother, are you so interested in the widow?" As he spoke, Lao Wangtou looked at me with a smile. It can be seen that this Lao Wangtou is not like those serious old guys. He likes to talk very much.
, also likes to joke.
Seeing that I didn't answer, he quickly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, brother! I was just joking."
"It's okay!" I waved and said. It seemed that I couldn't ask the old man anything else, so I said goodbye to him and went back upstairs to sleep.
But as soon as I turned around and walked up, Lao Wangtou said, "What is this?"
I followed Lao Wangtou's voice and saw him staring at something on the ground.
I was a little curious, so I looked over where Lao Wang’s head was lowered. It was okay not to look at it. When I looked at it, I was shocked...
