my ghost husband

Chapter 221 A Puzzling Photo
Anyway, everyone has already arrived here, so I can't go back home without any effect.So I had the courage to ask an aunt who was walking out of the village.

"Auntie, I want to ask, where does the old man who lives in this village, the old man who sets up a fortune-telling stall in Qingfeng Lane in the city, live? Oh, the one who charges 20 yuan every time."

The aunt was very warm-hearted, so she stopped quickly and said to me: "His house is right in front of you, go inside, then turn to the left, the house is on the side of the road, and it's the mud house. There are not many mud houses left in the village, you can see them when you walk in."

I quickly thank you.Go inside.The roads in the village are cement roads, and if you look around, they are all brick-and-concrete buildings with two or three floors.Now the new houses in the countryside are all of this model, just like the house Zong Sheng and I live in now.

It was a little difficult to find a mud room among these small buildings.This line of sight will be blocked by the small building, where can we still see the mud room?
I asked a few more people, and I guess he still has a lot of people in the village who respect him.Although this is the age of science, these old gentlemen are generally respected by others.Even if young people don't believe it, at least they will give them due respect.

Finally I stood in front of the mud room, which was a set of small yards where the mud was washed out.The wall of the yard has been collapsed, leaving only a half-remained door frame there.Inside is a mud house, very old-fashioned, just a big room, a door, and a window made of wood on each side.When I was a child, I also grew up in the village, and I knew that this kind of house was at least in the era of my grandparents.It was decades before our old mud room.

I muttered in a low voice: "He is poor enough. He goes to the street by himself and lives in a house like this."

My words were heard by an old lady passing by, and the gray-haired old lady said: "He is not poor. He is not from our village. The grandson of this family is filial. They took the old man into the city. The old man died outside. , No one wants this house anymore, the grandson sold it to him at his discretion. Twenty thousand! He took it out immediately!"

In the countryside, it is really difficult to take out [-] yuan at once.To build a house, many people took out a loan, and then slowly repaid it, taking out [-] yuan at once, which is of course surprising.

"Ma'am, do you know the old man who lives there who does fortune-telling?"

"My family lives next to him, why don't I know? He is alone, and sometimes he looks stupid, but he is rich, he eats meat every meal, and he smokes good cigarettes. Even if he comes back from the meal bought outside, They are all the ones with braised pork. Everyone said that he is capable, he must have been a master chef before, and made a lot of money, but something happened, so he hid in our small village."

"Oh, that's it, auntie, thank you. I'll go look for him first."

"He didn't know what happened to him for the past two days, so he just drank in the house and stopped setting up stalls on the street. In the middle of the night, he was still shouting like a drunk."

"Thank you, ma'am." I walked in, and at the same time, I heard what the aunt said: "What are you calling, his surname is not Niu, and he doesn't know Mr. Niu."

My steps froze, and it seemed that it was my problems that caused him something wrong.This person must have a good friendship with Mr. Niu, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about these things.

I went into the mudroom and the light dimmed.There is only one altar in the living room, on which is a portrait of the God of Wealth.There is also a small table against the wall. On the small table, there are crooked wine bottles and a plate of peanuts.

Mr. 20 Yuan has fallen asleep in the room, he must be drunk, it smells like alcohol.

It's not easy for a girl like me to go in. After thinking about it, I put the glass bottle on the small table, then tore off a piece of paper from the small notebook I carried with me, and wrote:
Uncle 20 Yuan, I am Zong Youxuan who has been looking for you several times.This is what my friend asked me to pass on to you. It is the ashes of a fetus whose hair, teeth, nails and blood were burnt with amulets.If you meet someone who really needs it, please forward it.

After writing the note, I pressed it on the table. After thinking about it, I covered it with a large vegetable basket on the side. It would be bad if the cat jumped up at night and dropped the glass bottle.Originally, I wanted to ask him about Mr. Niu, but it seems that I can't ask him today.

When I picked up the big basket, I noticed a photo halfway under the peanut plate.The photo has been taken for a long time, and the whole photo is yellowed, and in some places there are even traces of the color being washed away caused by the watermark.There is a little boy in the photo, sitting on the threshold, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand.Probably because of the nervousness of taking pictures, his expression was very tense, his eyes were wide open, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.

The boy didn't attract my attention, what caught my attention was the scene behind the boy.Behind the threshold is a relatively Chinese-style soft couch. From the oblique angle of the door, you can see a very special backflow incense plate on the desk over there.Isn't this the pawn shop of Niu Lifan?

The signboard of the pawn shop cannot be seen in the photo, but it seems to be the pawn shop.I'm not sure, because the desk seen in the photo has only one corner, and the backflow incense has only one corner, so I can't see clearly at all, it's just a kind of intuition.

I looked in the room, except for the old man's snoring, there was no sound at all. I took out my mobile phone, looked at the photo on the table, found a clear angle to take a picture, and took a picture.

Also deliberately took a few more pictures.Then he gently exited the mud room.

I came out, thought about it, and turned back again.Under the vegetable basket, I put 20 yuan on it, and then I came out again.

By the time they took the bus back to the urban area and Zong'an's office building, it was already their off-duty time.The clerks are all in the administrative class and commute to and from get off work on time.I was at the elevator in the lobby and waited for a while before the elevator could take me up.

It's just that when Zong Dahong who came out last saw me, his eyes were wrong.He walked up to me, and I quickly called out, "Uncle."

"Hmph! I'm going to call you the lady boss. Zong Youxuan, you have picked up a good man. Zong Sheng, that kid, hasn't been seen for several days, and he didn't come to swipe his card to go to work, so he just rolled out of bed with you. This As soon as he came, he tossed me, wanting this and that. Am I his little secretary, or the errand boy in this company?"

I smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, this, I, let me tell him. He also just came back..."

"Don't try to sow discord with me. Just this matter, what did you say? Huh! He is still working overtime upstairs. Let him do it alone, we all have to get off work gone."

When Zong Dahong left like this, I felt strange. He didn't want me to tell Zong Sheng, but he also wanted to talk about me. What does he mean?He's an uncle, it's not good for me to talk to him like that.

From the elevator to the sixth floor, a string of offices have already turned off the lights and closed the doors.The office of the project in Lingling Building is still open and the lights are on.

I walked over gently. In the huge office, Zong Sheng was alone, operating the computer, and the blueprints of that kind of architecture appeared on the screen.I basically can't read it.

Before I got to his side, he looked over and said, "I don't think I can finish it tonight. You can call Niu Lifan and ask him to take care of Shen Han and her mother. Shen Han's mother The surveillance can be lifted, and now she needs our help to take Shen Han away smoothly, she will stand with us."

I responded softly, and walked out of the office directly in order not to disturb him.After making the phone call, after thinking about it, I ordered a fast food downstairs.The Zong'an Group works mostly in the administrative class, and lunch is included, but dinner is not included.Unlike hotels that work 24 hours a day, there are three meals and midnight snacks.

After ordering fast food, buying drinks, and going upstairs, he sat in the corner of the office and watched Zong Sheng's back at work.The last time I entered that old warehouse, I didn't even know the direction at all, it was a mess, and I didn't know which was right.Watching him draw pictures on the computer and advance dynamically, he was able to demonstrate all the places we walked that day.I think he can still make changes when it is already complete.Men's sense of direction and space are sometimes stronger than women's.

Looking at Zong Sheng's back, I even forgot the passage of time and just looked at him quietly.When he moved his hands, I realized that it was past nine o'clock.He hurriedly said to him: "The food is getting cold, I'll go down and bring you..."

"There is a microwave in the pantry." Zong Sheng stood up and went to the pantry with the fast food.It's just the two of us here, I see the surroundings are empty, let's go with him.There is always the illusion that there is something like that hidden somewhere beside you.It's as if when I sat in front of their desk just now, I never put my feet under the table, and I always felt that there would be hands reaching out from under the dark table to touch my feet.

The tea room is very small, Zong Sheng can barely stand in it with a big man, I can only lean on the door frame and look at him.

He was making tea while heating the rice, and asked, "Have you gone to find that uncle today?"

"He didn't leave the stall, I went to his house." I told him about my situation.However, as soon as the conversation started, he had already leaned over, pressed me against the door frame, and whispered in my ear: "Auntie is here? You smell like blood." When Auntie comes, it means The month the doctor said is up.He really remembers it clearly.

My body froze for a moment, and it did come, but it was only the first day. Is he a dog nose?I pushed him unnaturally: "Listen to me, there is something important."
