Wang Ziheng looked at Ximen Lian and couldn't hold it back. He burst out laughing again. However, due to concerns about Director Qiu, Wang Ziheng did not dare to laugh too loudly this time. He covered his mouth and laughed while listening to what he just heard.
I told Ximen Lian again.
I dare say that when Ximen Lian was collecting hard work fees yesterday morning, the old lady’s soul was right next to her. She watched with her own eyes as the official put the envelope containing the banknotes into his pocket. If it weren’t for the fact that the old lady’s soul had no body, she would have been able to
Grab the money back from Ximen Lian's arms.
This old lady is frugal and stingy by nature. Although her son is already very rich, the old lady has lived by the creed of saving, saving, and saving all her life. Her frugal character has reached the point where it is outrageous.
To such an extent, the old lady’s son who became a big shot hired several servants to serve her. Unexpectedly, that night the old lady found out that in addition to taking care of these people’s food and accommodation, she also had to give them a thousand or hundreds of dollars.
, she went into a rage on the spot. She even beat and scolded the people who were serving her and drove them away. Even the vendors at the nearby market mentioned this old lady and they all said in unison: they never planned to make money from her.
Got money.
The gold teeth in the old lady's mouth were left behind after the death of her old man. At that time, she originally wanted to sell them for money, but when she found someone who knew how to appraise them, she discovered that the dozen or so gold teeth were only covered with a thin layer.
The gold skin was not of good quality and could not be sold for much money. In the end, the old lady simply put it in her mouth. Although it did not match her gums, her gums hurt every time she ate.
, but just like that, she was reluctant to put in new teeth. The eight front teeth in the old lady’s mouth were deceived by her son and she only agreed to put them in because of his connections and no money.
Yesterday morning, when a gold tooth was pried out by Ximen Lian, the old lady was almost mad. Then she saw her eldest son stuffing Ximen Lian with an envelope of money. The old lady had never let anyone take advantage of her in her life.
I didn't expect that she would suffer such a huge loss after her death. Unless she got her teeth and the envelope of money back, the old lady wouldn't even be interested in reincarnation.
"Now you know that the old lady is not easy to mess with, right?" Wang Ziheng looked at Ximen Lian with a smile. Before the official could say anything, Director Qiu suddenly turned around, took a deep breath, and said to Ximen Lian: "You are unlucky.
Spit out the money his son gave you.”
"Why..." Ximen Lian didn't finish his complaint. The old lady's face in the smoke became ferocious. She opened her teeth and claws as if she was about to rush over. Even the smoke wrapping the tomb became 'boiling'.
.If there wasn't something in the smoke that seemed to be holding the old lady back, she wouldn't have been able to break through to the outside of the smoke. Otherwise, she would have been face to face with Ximen Lian at this time.
But even this frightened the senior official so much that he even took a few steps back. Seeing that Director Qiu and Wang Ziheng did not move, Ximen Lian became more courageous: "It's really your son who gave me
Yes, if you don’t believe me, just give your son a dream and ask him yourself if you have anything to say.”
The old lady in the smoke roared silently again. Director Qiu glanced at Ximen Lian with a strange look on his face and said, "If I were you, I would return the money to her quickly." He pointed to the almost burned-out short on the tombstone.
After the incense is burned, I won't be able to control her, and then you two will have an interview."
Ximen Lian was so excited when he said this, it seemed that the only way to pay back the money was. He was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and the envelope containing the money was in his pocket. Ximen Lian reluctantly
He took out the envelope and handed it to Director Qiu. Director Qiu pressed the envelope on the grave with stones. After seeing the envelope, the old lady in the smoke became quiet.
I originally thought that this matter would be over, but when Qiu Bulao, Wang Ziheng, and Ximen Lian were about to leave, the old lady suddenly became irritable again. Qiu Bulao looked back at her, and then he looked confused.
Said to Ximen Lian: "She said... one hundred less"
"Impossible!" Ximen Lian shouted, and then said: "This envelope has not been touched since it was given to me. She is blackmailing..." At this point, Ximen Lian suddenly remembered what he had done yesterday morning.
When he ran out of the funeral home, he took out 100 yuan from the envelope and gave it to the driver as fare. However, he had spent all the money he borrowed from Director Xia to buy salt in the morning, and the change he had on him was less than 100 yuan. He looked at it
Director Qiu and Wang Ziheng said in a low voice: "Which of you has a hundred, please lend it to me first..."
After Ximen Lian finished telling what happened to him, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Fatty Sun blinked at him and said, "Didn't I say...this is the end?" Ximen Lian ate.
After taking a sip of mutton, he suppressed the rising drunkenness and said: "The rest is that the old lady's matter has been settled, but my problem has become more serious. Director Qiu's pills can only suppress my heavenly eye for a few days, and it will last for a long time."
Listen to the words and see the ghosts. Great Sage, you also know the working environment I worked in at that time. It was a funeral parlor. I could see people wandering around in broad daylight. Imagine that I was here to provide services to the dead.
When I was putting on makeup, the dead man stood nearby, gesturing and saying that I didn't make him look pretty. How did I feel? Later, it turned out to be unreliable, so I gave up my job as a funeral makeup artist."
At this point, the senior official paused, glanced at Fatty Sun with a strange expression, and said, "I don't know if someone arranged it or it was fate. I just quit my job at the funeral parlor in the morning, and Director Qiu came over at noon.
He called me and told me that there was a job here that was particularly suitable for me, and he was a civil servant. I came to the capital without even thinking about it. After I joined the polling bureau, I have been working under Director Qiu until now."
After Ximen Lian finished speaking, Fatty Sun said to him with a smile: "You can't tell that Lao Qiu also cheats sometimes. It's not my fault. It's hard for you. With a boss like Lao Qiu, you are always tough." He just said this
After finishing speaking, Xiong Wanyi across the table suddenly tipped his wine cup heavily: "Fat Sun, what the hell are you talking about...wow..." Halfway through the words, Xiong Wanyi's drunkenness surged, and he wanted to shut up again.
It was already too late. He didn't waste anything he had eaten at night and vomited all over the table.
Lao Mo and Ximen Lian sat on both sides of him. They couldn't dodge, and their bodies were somewhat stained with Xiong Wanyi's vomit. The two of them pinched their noses and jumped to the side. Ximen Lian wiped his sleeves and shouted to Xiong Wanyi:
"Xiong stuff, you did it on purpose, right?" Xiong Wanyi answered him with action: "Wow..."
This meal was too much to eat. After Ximen Lian nagged Xiong Wanyi for a few words, he went to pay the bill. A few minutes later, he came back with the bill in one hand and his wallet in the other. He came to Lao Mo and said: "
What, you can’t swipe cards here, do you have a hundred, lend it to me first..."
Ximen Lian swayed out to check out again. When I looked over, it was already 11:30 at night. Even without Xiong Wanyi's interlude, it was almost time to end the game. The five of us drank a lot, and we were basically done.
There was no possibility of driving back to the city, so it looked like I was going to stay here for the night. While the boss came with the waiters to clear away the remaining seats, I asked the boss if there was any place to stay nearby.
"Go straight ahead from our place. There is a guest house within a twenty-minute walk." At this point, the boss's expression suddenly became strange. He seemed to be hesitant to say something. He hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
: "But don't leave this late at night. I'll put a few tables together and get you some beds to cover. You'll have to stay here all night and have breakfast in the store tomorrow morning.
Walk"
Fatty Sun laughed and said: "Boss, you are trying to make money for us to stay in the hotel." Unexpectedly, the boss waved his hands and said: "That's not what you meant. You will spend the night here, plus tomorrow's breakfast."
A treat from the shop. It doesn’t cost you a penny.”
What he said made us all stunned. We didn't understand what the boss was planning. Fatty Sun said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am too fat to sleep well without a bed, so we still go
Let’s stay in the guest house. I didn’t tell you, but you can help keep an eye on the car at the door. We’ll come and pick it up tomorrow morning.”
Seeing that Fatty Sun insisted on leaving, the boss finally gritted his teeth and told the truth: "It's not that I have to keep you, it's just that it's not clean outside now. You have to pass through a cemetery on the way to the guest house. It's okay if you go during the day, but it's almost midnight now
It’s twelve o’clock. What else will happen that will be bad?”
"Huh?" Except for Xiong Wanyi, who was lying on the table after drinking too much, all of us heard the problem. After we looked at each other, Lao Mo first said to the boss: "You mean in the cemetery?"
Is it haunted? Even if it’s a bit off, your place is within the confines of the capital, so no one will care about the hauntings?”
The boss said to Lao Mo: "You don't know, that cemetery is old, and there are old graves and ownerless graves. It used to be peaceful, and I never heard of any trouble. It was around November last year.
, people from the district said that the cemetery area was to be developed, and a notice was posted to move the graves. When the graves were being moved, something happened.
When a family was moving a grave in the early morning, they saw dead people crawling out of the graveyard. One of them was frightened to death on the spot. Later, they reported it to the police station, and people from the station checked, but nothing was found in the graveyard. Again
We dug up several ownerless graves that the parties claimed had dead people crawling out of them, and the skeletons inside were still lying there. If there weren't too many witnesses, this matter would have been treated as a false report.
Later, people from the branch came to help with the investigation, but there was no conclusion. From that day on, the cemetery began to be haunted. Just the day before yesterday, a passing driver said that he saw dead people blocking the road at the cemetery.
The driver was so frightened that he didn't drive the car into the ditch. You elders just listen to me and stay in the shop all night. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
After the boss finished collecting, we looked at each other, and finally I said: "Let's go to the guest house, boss, we are all atheists, we are afraid of everything, but we are not afraid of ghosts or anything like that."
When a few of us wandered out of the restaurant, the boss kept urging us from behind. Finally, when he saw that we were determined to walk all the way, we had no choice but to return to the restaurant.
After we came out, we were blown by the cool breeze, and several of us suddenly became clear-headed. Only Xiong Wanyi, who had drunk the most, was shaken by the cold wind when he came out. He squatted on the roadside and vomited again. He still staggered when he walked. We settled down
Keep walking along the road pointed by the restaurant owner. As you walk, you continue to chat.
Fatty Sun kept praising the roasted lamb and various dishes he had just eaten. I got tired of listening, so I turned to look at Lao Mo and Ximen Daguan, and said: "There are ghosts around the capital, don't we have no one to care about it?"
?" Lao Mo looked at me and smiled, and replied: "Lazi, you have only been here for a short time, and you still don't know the process very well. If we have to deal with all the matters reported from all over the country as soon as possible, then even if there is
