【024】The soul is gone and will never return
Old Man Wu has been in a state of confusion and unconsciousness, sometimes having nightmares and sometimes waking up. When he is in a dream, he feels like his soul has left his body and is wandering around without knowing what to say. When he wakes up, he is confused and cannot recognize what is in front of him.
people.
Some people sighed and said it would be better if Hu Xianpo was here.
My wife couldn't help it, so he sought medical advice everywhere, and took several patches of medicine, but nothing worked. Some people also suggested sending him to the hospital, but going to the hospital would cost a lot of money. Some of the compensation for the previous ship accident has not been paid.
Where are you going to raise money to send him to the hospital?
On this day, Old Man Wu felt in a trance that his home was so quiet, so quiet that he was the only one left at home. At this moment, the door opened slowly and automatically, and a man wearing yellow clothes came in from the outside.
The man came in and said to him: "Get up quickly and leave me. I'm leaving you alone."
Old man Wu said: "Where to go?"
"Go and pay off the debt." The man in black clothes said expressionlessly.
"Oh." Old man Wu stood up slowly, put on his clothes, and left the room following the man in black.
He walked to the courtyard and saw his wife wiping his grandson's butt. He casually said to his wife: "I will pay off the debt and you can live a good life."
My wife seemed to react to his words and stared at the place where he was standing in a daze.
Old man Wu was depressed and wanted to say a few words to his wife. But the man in black clothes kept urging him, saying hurry up, the time is coming.
The man in black clothes walked in front, and Old Man Wu followed behind. He looked at the far away home behind him, and felt an inexplicable sense of desolation in his heart.
The man in black clothes took Old Man Wu to the river, grabbed his hand, and waded into the river - Old Man Wu subconsciously pushed his butt back. He had suffered a lot and was afraid of water!
But the hands of the man in black clothes were like iron pliers, holding him tight. Strangely enough, when the two of them waded into the water and sank, they felt that there was no pressure on their lungs. And after sinking, the bottom of the river looked like this.
It's like walking on flat ground. What's on the ground is also what's on the bottom of the river. Grass, trees, houses, everything.
There was a group of people playing a circle game in front of him. Everyone lowered their heads and put their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them. The man in black clothes suddenly disappeared, leaving Old Man Wu staring blankly at the scene.
The circle of people is spinning in front of you——
Suddenly, he saw a very familiar person, this person looked like——
Nap! Old man Wu's wife had a dream. She dreamed that the old man suddenly told him that she had to pay off her debts, and shouted for her to live well. She felt anxious, suddenly woke up from the dream, and ran to see the old man in a hurry.
The old man had just woken up from a nightmare. He gasped and shouted to Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui isn't here, it's my wife who came running away.
Old man Wu looked ashen and said anxiously to his wife: "Go find Zhong Kui quickly, he is the only one who can save me."
"Master Zhong has gone to the county town, how can I find him?" said my wife disapprovingly. She took out a wet towel and wiped the cold sweat from the old man's forehead, and comforted: "Isn't it just a nightmare? You are sweating just by looking at it.
, tomorrow should be fine."
"Tomorrow - great?" Old man Wu looked at his wife in despair, with cloudy tears in his eyes and said: "Oh! It's better to be content and happy throughout your life. Live your life indifferently, and you don't owe anyone anything.
You don’t have to pay off your debt.”
"You are an old fool. We have done nothing wrong, so you can rest in peace and recuperate. Just wait until your son comes back. Look at how old Zaizai (grandson) is. Do you still have to send him to school next year?"
As she spoke, she brought her husband a glass of water, "Here, let's drink some water first."
Old man Wu sighed and said, "Go and buy me popsicles. I want to eat popsicles."
Old man Wu had been going back and forth for several meals without eating, and now he wanted to eat popsicles. It was strange, but his wife was kind, and she would do whatever the old man needed.
While she was talking, she grabbed Zaizai and ran to Yaomei's shop on the other side of the ditch. Only Yaomei's shop had popsicles. It was one o'clock after noon, that is, 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock.
At that time, the sun was scorching the ground, and because it was too hot, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
Old Mrs. Wu hugged and dragged her grandson to Yaomei's shop with great difficulty, and handed him one yuan to buy three popsicles. By the way, this was a hot period, and the popsicles melted quickly in her hands.
The old woman had no choice but to have one for her and one for her grandson. The grandson and grandson were sucking popsicles while rushing home——
The poisonous sun was baking so much that smoke was rising from the top of the head. The popsicle given to Old Man Wu was melting, with melted popsicle foam ticking along the way. The old lady felt distressed when she saw it. She couldn't help but take a sip, and hurriedly grabbed her grandson.
Walk tight and slow.
When I got home, the popsicle I gave Old Man Wu had melted and only half of it was left.
"Old man, look -" She entered the room with a smile, and was stunned for a moment. There was no one on the bed, and the old man was gone.
When Zhong Kui came out of prison, he had no time to escape from the scorching heat. He had to meet with the criminal police captain of the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible.
He had just walked to the carport, pushed the bicycle and had not even had time to pedal on it when a piece of white bird droppings fell on his left shoulder. Looking at the disgusting bird droppings, his heart skipped a beat, his thick eyebrows twisted, and he secretly
He was surprised and said: No, something is going to happen.
He did not go to the county seat, so he turned back and headed towards the Wu family compound.
Old Man Wu died and was hanged from a tree with a crooked neck. In his pocket, there was a letter, which was his suicide note written word for word.
My son, Dad is sorry for you. He has been trying to get rich all his life. I will not let go of all kinds of calculations and opportunities, even if I exchange your happiness for you.
The riverbed was ruined by my collusion with outsiders. The people who drowned later were all caused by my mistakes. The two-story building was built with money given by the owner of the sand mining ship, and the road was also built by the owner of the sand mining ship.
of.
We didn't spend anything on your marriage, it was all paid for by your father-in-law. Although my daughter-in-law has a bad temper, she has earned a valuable dowry for the family.
Now that my wife is gone, I am left with a pitiful Zaizai. If you sell the two-story building, we can’t afford to live in it. Our life is a humble one and we are not suitable for building a high-rise building.
I'm sorry for the children who drowned in the river. I had a nightmare at noon. In the dream, I saw myself and those ghosts walking in circles. I was scared and wanted to ask your uncle Zhongkui for help. Unfortunately, he went to find you.
It's fate, and I lack a savior in my numerology. Alas! Anyway, I am a person who has been away from a seductive ghost. I know that I can't survive, so I might as well end it myself.

Father's last words
Zhong Kui looked at the suicide note and seemed to see Old Man Wu kneeling by the river and shouting into the river: "Please, let my family go and take me away!"
The Wu family changed from a prosperous household to a poor household, and the two-story house was sold to repay the life debt. The boss of the Wu family returned, and he hugged his son and mother and moved into a low thatched house.
There is a person standing in front of the tomb of Old Han Wu, he is Zhong Kui. On the other side, there are two tombs, one is that of Xiao Xu, and the other is that of the boss of the Wu family.
He hoped that Xiao Xu and the ship boss's wife could live in harmony there. Stop making noise——
The pier of the river was removed soon after, and it was said that a bridge would be built here in the future. Local grassroots cadres erected a warning sign on the riverside that it was strictly prohibited to play in the water.
On the way home, Zhong Kui sneezed several times in succession. He couldn't help but secretly laugh, and made a random guess about who was scolding him behind his back. It shouldn't be the criminal police captain, because he explained everything to him one by one.
After reading it again, even though the other party looked in disbelief, his calm, comfortable and super-confident demeanor had to be convincing.
Nor should it be Ran Qin and his daughter. They are both his closest relatives.
