Chapter 335 Old Man Qi's Request
An old man in his seventies or eighties was kneeling on the ground. He could hardly see anything when he was walking. But once he stooped down, his whole body was curled up into a small, dry ball.
How could I, a young man, bear this? He might have died prematurely, so I rushed over to help him.
Old Man Qi was very stubborn, and he didn't know where he borrowed the strength from his thin body. I tried to help him several times but couldn't help him up. In the last effort, I actually lifted him up. I felt panicked and couldn't help him.
I quickly put it down. I am already very old, so I have to figure it out. His children are making trouble, and I can’t afford to pay for it if I sell it. Now this man can’t make much money when he is still alive. Where will he go?
It’s worth a lot of money once you lie down...
Seeing the other party kneeling on the ground without saying a word, I couldn't help but said anxiously: "Hey, if we have something to say, can we get up and talk it over? This is the 21st century, and this is no longer a thing!"
Unexpectedly, it was better that I didn't speak, but when I opened my mouth, Old Man Qi didn't say anything, but started crying.
In fact, I'm quite afraid of hearing adults cry, let alone these old people.
When teenagers and girls cry, it is at best a way to vent their emotions, but when adults cry, their cries are filled with the futility of life, so much so that even the fussy ones can't shed tears, just like a wounded beast whimpering, inexplicably.
It makes people think of the sins they have suffered throughout their lives, and the bitterness in their hearts.
That's the case with Old Man Qi. No matter what I say, it's useless. I won't stop crying. The whimpering at the beginning gradually evolved into howling...
I tried to persuade him a few words, but the other party didn’t speak at all and just kept howling. I figured it out. He couldn’t sit down and talk about things properly until the other party had finished crying. I looked at the protuberance on the old man’s neck.
I didn't dare to leave because of my blue veins, fearing that he wouldn't be able to take a breath, so he would just stick it out and sit on the side suffering from it.
Wushuang came to deliver food to me and happened to encounter this scene. He looked at me with some confusion. I spread my hands to express that I was also confused.
Wushuang smiled shyly, put the lunch box in front of me, and patted Old Man Qi on the back very thoughtfully. After all, he had a good skin that made people approach him. My nice words were of no use, so he just
After a few gentle pats, Old Man Qi stopped crying.
Wushuang pulled Old Qi to sit down next to me. He took a breath and wiped the corners of his eyes while saying, "I'm really sorry, Xiao Wei. When I think about this, I feel so panicked..."
What else could I say besides saying "it's okay"? Seeing that the other person's mood had calmed down a bit, I cautiously asked: "You just shouted for help, what on earth happened to you?"
Old man Qi drooped his head, and it seemed that he was having a war between heaven and man in his heart. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and raised his head and asked me: "Xiao Wei, we are not close friends, so I just made a random guess, you are not just a coffin seller, right?"
?I don’t know much, but I also know that nowadays Taoist priests and monks are not short of money. Who can live in poverty like you? In my eyes, only people like you are the real masters and have real abilities..."
I looked at the old man in surprise, but I didn't expect him to ask this.
Since the purpose of naming people is to find capable people, generally speaking, there are only two purposes.
I carefully looked at Old Man Qi's Yintang, but I didn't see any clues. Regardless of whether it was stained with dirty things or there were such people around me, basically the Yintang would not be too bright and would be more or less affected.
Due to the impact of some ghost energy, Old Man Li's Yintang Department cannot be said to be very good. At least he must have been unlucky, but he definitely did not encounter the entanglement of ghosts and gods.
So, he has another purpose?
Thinking of this, I felt uncomfortable. It would be hard for people to think highly of him if he was crying so much, so I smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's a little trick, but not big."
, I have something to say first. If you are so poor that you can’t survive anymore, calling for help won’t work. I can’t get any luck from the Five Ghosts, and I can’t shave my head to make a fortune..."
"How can that be possible!"
Old Man Qi was a little angry, and glared at me with bloodshot eyes: "Old man has lived for dozens of years, and the loess is buried around his neck. Why do he want to make a fortune at this time!"
I joked, "It's hard to say. There are so many old-hearted people. Why don't you read the news? Those who are flirting with others or blackmailing people are gone. There are also those who visit brothels."
Old man Qi blushed and stood up suddenly. He seemed to want to hit me. He held it in for a long time and then sat down slumped. However, being disturbed by me in this way made people feel heartbroken.
The anger and sadness disappeared, and he sighed and said: "Xiaowei, I really have no choice but to find you. My girl seems to be contaminated with something unclean..."
I have seen his Yintang, and I always feel that this is the same as the things we have dealt with during this period, and we don't take it seriously. However, since we have said this and we are acquaintances, we can't point it out directly, otherwise Old Man Qi will think
I was trying to deal with him, so I sat down and asked Old Man Qi to explain the matter to me.
Old man Qi calmed down, stopped crying and started talking.
I know that he has a pair of children. The daughter is younger, in her forties this year, and her name is Yindi. I have never seen her, but when I chatted with Old Man Qi before, I also knew that Old Man Qi had a daughter late.
My daughter loves me very much.
There was no cause and effect, it was just that her daughter had an inexplicable mental disorder a while ago.
Not only her daughter, but also her son-in-law went crazy!!
Old Man Qi's son was out of town and had no time to take photos. His wife passed away again. The burden of life fell entirely on Old Man Qi. He had to sell vegetables to make a living, and he had to take care of his daughter and son-in-law. His life was miserable, otherwise
It’s not like he immediately breaks down when he mentions this matter.
I really don’t understand how Old Man Qi connected madness with evil spirits, but I still asked: “Did your daughter and son-in-law suffer any mental trauma in their early years?”
Old man Qi straightened up, looked at me with stern eyes, and asked me if I wanted to say that their madness was caused by mental stimulation? Recently, he took his daughter and son-in-law to see a doctor, and the doctor said so.
Don’t tell me, that’s what I really think!
Seeing the old man's vigilant look, I naturally didn't dare to agree. Otherwise, if the old man started crying again, I would explode on the spot. So I smiled and said that Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding when treating a disease. We Taoist priests are the same. To understand something, we must not get to the bottom of it!
Old man Qi looked at me for a moment and nodded dejectedly: "I originally had a grandson who was snatched away twelve years ago. At noon that day, Yindi was cooking at home, and the child ran out to play. She looked out of the window.
She saw someone talking to the child at the gate. At that time, she felt something was wrong. When she ran down, the person was gone. After that, the couple also quit their jobs and searched for the child all over the world. Suddenly, a while ago
They went crazy, the couple went crazy together..."
I was silent for a while after hearing this.
If there is any kind of criminal in this world who deserves to be tortured like Lingchi, it must be a human trafficker, who is a hundred times more hateful than a drug trafficker.
I didn't expect this honest old man to have such a painful past. However, things are things. In this case, it doesn't look like something unclean is causing trouble. If his daughter and his wife were unclean,
He was entangled with things. He took care of the two of them day and night, and he had already been contaminated with evil spirits. I couldn't possibly not see it. If you ask me, maybe her daughter and son-in-law found some clues, and the result might not be good. Suddenly
Unable to bear it, twelve years of persistence collapsed and I went crazy.
He should go to the police for this matter. Isn't it wrong to come to us to find someone blind?
Old Man Qi looked at my words and immediately knew what I was thinking. He cried out: "Xiaowei, it's not what you think. They must be crazy. If they are really crazy, how can people lose their breath day by day?"
Are they getting weaker? I don’t think they can survive much longer...
Moreover, I have really seen that kind of unclean thing. You can tell by my accent that I am not from here. Someone in the village was hit by evil spirits in the past. They looked like no one anymore, but they infiltrated people...
My daughter and son-in-law look more and more like that person now, and I feel hairy all over when I sleep in their house at night..."
After saying this, Old Man Qi looked at me pitifully and said: "Xiaowei, just come with me to see them. I don't have much money left to take them to see a doctor. I can't give you much, so don't blame me."
Master, I won’t charge you for food from now on..."
I originally thought that this was just a psychological effect, but when I saw him taking out a small red handkerchief with some change in it, I finally sighed and asked him to put the money away. There was only a small amount of food money, so I didn’t need him.
Give us a break. Anyway, I've been killing big business recently and defrauded a lot. I'm not short of his three melons and two dates. I thought it was a good thing to atone for what I did recently, so I paid him.
He pulled out his hand and said: "Okay, don't think about it anymore. I'll go with you. If there is something going on, I'll get rid of it for you. If it's not a trouble, you can live in peace."
There is no difficulty in taking them to see a doctor!"
After saying that, I pulled Wushuang and stood up.
Old man Qi looked at me suspiciously and asked, are we just going?
I touched my nose, shook my head helplessly, and pushed Wu Shuang: "Go and get those lazy guys from Lao Bai. Forget that Zhang Xinya is not feeling well, let's drive away!"
Only then did Old Man Qi feel at ease. In his opinion, it was just that Wushuang and I were a little alone and weak, and we were very worried.
Lao Bai has been raising himself like a pig these past few days. Hearing that Old Man Qi was going to follow him on some errands because he was suspicious, he couldn't help but grumbled a few times with a look of reluctance, but in the end he still went down the mountain with Brother Yaozi and pulled us up.
We went straight to Old Man Qi's daughter's house. It was not too far from our place. It was just on the outskirts of the city. There were some old houses and homes. We arrived there in less than two hours...
In front of you is a very small courtyard with many plants intertwined on the wall. In addition to ivy, there are more plants with leaves similar to spider plants. The rhizomes are dark red and extremely lush, with ivy mixed in.
Among them, all are dead, but this kind of thing grows tall and lush, stacked together, higher than the top of the wall...
The courtyard wall made of blue bricks has pits and holes everywhere, and you can see fat red ants coming in and out...
The temperature in early summer was obviously very high, and the sun above our heads was also very bright, but standing in front of the small courtyard, it was extremely cold, and the courtyard felt eerie.
I pointed at the plants all over the wall and asked, "Uncle Qi, when did these things grow?"
"I don't know either..."
Old Man Qi shook his head in confusion: "I rarely come here. The couple have been running around all these years. This yard has not been taken care of for a long time. It is normal for some weeds to grow..."
"Jingzhe, you got it wrong this time!"
Brother Yao Zi raised his head and stared at the courtyard, and said softly: "An ants do not enter the soil, but sit on the wall for nine thousand years. This is a typical Guyin evil spirit. There are really unclean things in this place!!"
