Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 25. A declining family
Everyone who saw this scene was amazed that a headless chicken could walk for such a long time.
What is even more strange is that the chicken just walked along the edge of the bed. Although its steps were crooked, it did not leave the area around the bed. It first walked from beginning to end, and then turned back along the same route. The headless chicken then fell down, kicked its legs a few times, and then stopped moving.
"The soul-calling is over. The child's soul has taken over the body. The funeral hall can be closed for seven days before burial." Wu Tianxiong said.
Wu Xinwei sighed and said, "As long as the child can rest in peace, I will feel better."
"But you will keep vigil for the child for these seven days . You must be there every day."
"Ah, I have a few announcements when I come back this time. If I don't go..."
"Mr. Wu, you are not sincere. Even at this point, you are still making your own calculations. Is it fun?" I got angry and accused him loudly without caring about the presence of Wu Xinwei's family members.
"this……"
"Mr. Wu, I have said what I want to say. I can't interfere with what you want to do. But if it doesn't work, don't call me a charlatan." It can be seen that Wu Tianxiong was also very annoyed.
"I was wrong. Please don't be offended. I will stay vigil for my child for seven days and won't go anywhere."
"I don't care about that. You just pay the money first, including the money for the ritual seven days later , a total of 92,600." Wu Tianxiong didn't bother to be polite with him and asked for the money directly.
Although the amount of money was not small, it was not a large sum for Wu Xinwei. He wrote a cash check to Wu Tianxiong and said, "Excuse me, three of you. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"The child's soul has taken over and won't haunt you like it did before. As long as you bury it when the time comes, there won't be any problems." After saying that, Wu Tianxiong asked Sisi, "After the abortion, you wanted to have children several times, right?"
Sisi didn't hide anything and told the truth: "I had always wanted to keep Wu Xinwei's heart by having a child, so I regretted it after having the abortion. After that, I tried to have children several times but failed. I went to the hospital but couldn't find any problems, so I asked someone to buy me some tonic medicine to regulate my body."
"You eat the placenta just to prepare for pregnancy?"
"Yes, I heard that the placenta is a tonic, so I got some to eat. But after Wu Xinwei completely abandoned me, I never ate the placenta again."
Only then did I understand why Sisi interacted with people on the Internet with this image. She could not accept the result of being abandoned and was ready to live a life of self-destruction. So this time, I not only relieved her of the pain of being haunted by the baby spirit , but also reversed the wrong path that almost led her astray. This can be regarded as "accumulating good karma."
Wu Tianxiong said, "Being possessed by an infant spirit will not only make it difficult to purify your six senses, but it will also be impossible for you to conceive again, whether with Mr. Wu or someone else. However, after this grievance is resolved, it will be okay to have children again."
Sisi said quietly, "From now on, I won't have any more children. This is life, not a weight in someone else's hands. I'm not worthy of being a mother, so how can I have the right to have another child?"
Wu Tianxiong did not try to persuade her any further. Some things should be said at the right time. Those who repair graves are all victims, and no one is in a good mood. As a geomancer, his duty is to repair the grave according to the owner's requirements, not to comfort the victims.
Everything we needed to do was done, and Luo Tianbao had already found a "contractor" to follow up and complete the funeral ceremonies, so the three of us returned to Shanghai.
When the two of them left, Wu Tianxiong took out 9,000 yuan and gave it to me, saying it was my agency fee. He had already included this amount in the quote he gave to Wu Xinwei. Although I tried my best to refuse, he still forced it on me.
I didn't get a one-night stand, but I made some money. It's nice to have some pocket money for the New Year.
However, although I had nothing to do with this funeral, I still went to Yuan Fang Village seven days later. I don’t know why, but it seemed that I was still a little bit concerned about Sisi. On the day of the funeral, Sisi changed into white clothes and lay in the thin-skinned coffin holding the jade box containing the baby's body . After being placed in the tomb, a few handfuls of soil were symbolically sprinkled on her. Sisi just lay in the coffin like that until she was forcibly dragged out. After that, she knelt in front of the grave and cried bitterly. After she stood up, she didn't even look at Wu Xinwei again and left resolutely.
I can say that my help was not in vain. Besides making a little money, I learned that abortion is not something to be done casually, because a life is being aborted. Even if the fetus is not yet in human form, it is still a life being killed. So if you don't want a child, you should take all safety measures. The man should be considerate of the woman's body, and the woman should respect herself. Both men and women need to be responsible for a living life. Otherwise, if the baby spirit is haunted, it will be too late to regret.
After this incident, I no longer dare to chat casually with women on the Internet. Who knows what kind of mentality the woman on the other end of the computer has? We should keep ourselves clean, otherwise we may get ourselves into trouble.
I spent the next few days in a leisurely life playing mahjong and singing karaoke with my friends. This is the highest state of not having big money but not lacking small money. I was happy until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month when Lao Niu found me again. He seemed to have a special liking for roast duck. This time he invited me to dinner at the roast duck restaurant. When we met again, his expression had improved a lot.
"Boss Yu, I never thought you were so capable at such a young age. I really admire you."
"Boss Niu, you're welcome. By the way, how did your fortune change after you returned the money to Xiaojing? Please tell me in detail." I said with interest.
"My financial luck hasn't changed for the better or worse, but I've noticed that the journal entries in my account book are completely blank, filled with random graphs and symbols. Boss Yu, were these the same graphs you saw the other day?"
"Yes, I saw it clearly, but at that time you looked very determined that there was nothing wrong with the bill you wrote down. I didn't tell you directly because you wouldn't believe it even if I told you."
"Yes, you can't reason with someone who's possessed by evil." Old Niu smiled naively and said, "But why can I see the account book clearly after I returned the money to Xiao Jing? Is he setting me up?"
I didn't expect Lao Niu to suspect Xiao Jing. I laughed and said, "Don't overthink it. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Jing. If he had this ability, how could he be so poor? The feng shui in Sanfen Lane is not very good, but this kind of thing is mysterious and I definitely don't understand it. I just met someone who knows the business, and I kept what he said in mind. Lao Niu, I'm not deliberately trying to trick you. No one knows that there is something wrong with the feng shui of that place."
"This job was given to me by Director Yu. Even if I don't make any money, it's just bad luck. How can I say you're cheating me? You can't be confused about good and bad."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss. After the New Year, you will get every penny you deserve."
"I know that, but I'm not inviting Boss Yu to dinner today to urge you to introduce me to a job. I just want to ask why what I see is different from what you see. Is it because I'm blinded by a ghost?"
How could I understand such things? I instinctively wanted to take out my phone and call Luo Tianbao, but then I thought, I had just caused them so much trouble, and asking about these things now would be inappropriate. So I declined, "I definitely don't know what's going on here, and I can't tell you nonsense. As for those who do know, we can't just ask them as a joke. They are all masters, and they won't easily pay attention to ordinary people like us."
Lao Niu nodded slightly and said, "That's the gift, but I'm not here to ask questions for no reason, Boss Yu. Could you introduce me to that expert? I have something to ask of him."
Hearing him say that, I immediately became interested and asked, "You've encountered a lot of strange things, what happened this time?"
"This isn't my business. It's something that happened to an uncle of mine back home ."
"Let me hear what you say. If it's really strange, I'll contact that expert for you."
"Thank you, Boss Yu. This uncle of mine is quite impressive. He's considered the richest man in our area. He started his coal mining business in his twenties. At his peak, he owned six large coal mines and had an annual revenue of over 100 million yuan. Logically, even if such a large business were to fail, it wouldn't take a day or two. But since my brother died of illness, two of his three sons have been arrested and sentenced, and another had his right leg amputated in a car accident . His coal mining business has completely collapsed. They all say that the feng shui of my brother's burial was faulty. Does your friend who knows feng shui have any advice for his family?"
