piecing together the soul

Chapter 4 I Really Don't Want to Help You

"What rumors did you hear?" He seemed quite helpless.

"Didn't it mean that those who die suddenly cannot cross the bridge of Naihe? For example, those who committed suicide, murdered, or died accidentally, anyway, they died when they should not have died. After death, they cannot be reincarnated. They have to find someone to reincarnate for them."

"People's imagination is really rich," he said, "There are not so many words, as long as the body is intact, you can reincarnate."

Although I said it lightly just now, I am still very afraid of death in my heart. My mother has not yet graduated from university, and of course she has not lived enough!He didn't mean to kill me.Thinking of this level, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at the skull on the ground again, and suddenly realized: "You didn't reincarnate because you were incomplete?"

"correct."

"Then why don't you go to someone else, why are you looking for me?" I quickly tried to get rid of it.

"Didn't it catch up," he said, "there were dead people here that day, and there was blood. I managed to attach it with great difficulty, and it was sent to you. Fortunately, you still have some spiritual power and can sense it." I."

"Spiritual power?" I was a little surprised, this kind of thing that only exists in novels, but I also have it?
"You should know a little bit."

"My grandma practiced Qigong. When I was a child, I learned how to meditate from my grandma, breathing and exhaling. Is this it?"

"It may be related, or it may be that you always think about fairies and ghosts."

I hesitated for a moment: "I like... the theme of Xianxia and Tomb Raiders..."

"That's it," he said, "I've looked for it before, but you're the only one who can sense it. I finally have a chance."

"What do you mean? What opportunity? You and I have never met before!" I suddenly had an ominous premonition, "I am a person who is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so I don't have time to talk to you!"

He said calmly, "Talk about the serious business slowly, get up and fill the hole first, and don't put my head in it."

Looking at the mound of dirt on the side, I thought about it, so I got up and started filling the hole.

He was floating next to me, looking at me: "Take my hair out later, find a place where no one is around and wash it for me."

"Why wash it?" I said, "Aren't you scared to death when people see it?"

"I think it's dirty." He said with a contemptuous expression.

"I'll go," I also despised him, "You just asked me if I didn't clean my hands, you can't be the first seat, right?"

"What is a seat?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you." I was still waving the shovel to fill the hole, and I was too tired to talk to him.

He was alone, or maybe he was a ghost, and he said to himself: "Look at me, I was a famous handsome man back then, but it's a pity that I lived in such a turbulent era. It must be a big movie star, movie king! I was only 30 years old when I died, and my career had just started, but I was killed by someone. Pity I still have an old lady who died of serious illness without me. I didn’t marry a daughter-in-law , There is a child, but the child does not live in my house, I can't go out, so I can't see him, I don't know how he is."

I still ignored him, and he continued: "Aren't you surprised? I don't have any children from a wife? I just have a good friend, everyone is a lady, gentle, virtuous and beautiful, just the opposite of you."

I glared at him when I heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything about me, and continued on his own: "At that time, Zhengxing eloped, so I took her out and wandered around. After a while, she became pregnant. I had a child, but later she was arrested by the family. Her family disliked my family background, saying that it was not right to come from a poor family, and they would not let her marry me. I swore at the time that I must do something to let me She lived a good life. When it was time to start a personal business, my family was a small businessman. Later, I took some capital and went to Tianjin Wei. I worked hard to get through the ** Baidao. The business gradually grew. When I returned to Beijing, I opened a factory outside the city and still made the original cloth and satin."

"At this time, although I only had a small factory, I was already a very rich person. Later, a competitor came, and we had a great fight. Later, I was assassinated, and then I was divided. I can't reincarnate, I can only wander around the place where I died. It was only after I died that I knew it was done by a competitor. After I died, my factory gradually failed. Of course, that guy didn't get anything Okay. After a few years, the warlord died during the scuffle. I saw him just after he died. Then he was reincarnated, but I couldn't help it..."

The hole was almost filled, and I couldn't help sighing: "You must be a bitch, not only cleanliness, but also a grinder."

"No," he frowned. "Did you listen to me? Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand," the hole was filled, I took the shovel to pat the soil, and then moved the box back, "You just want me to help you put together your bones so that you can reincarnate, don't you?"

"Smart!" He gave that wry smile again.

This feeling of wanting to hit someone but only hitting a cloud of air is really bad!I picked up the local tyrant gold that the middle-aged man lost here. I was so busy that it was almost two o'clock. I turned on the flashlight. I found an empty box of a relatively suitable size among the boxes, and put his head and a small short shovel in it. Find another tape to seal it.

"I really don't want to help you." I said harshly.

"You mean you will help me?" He smiled shamelessly, which made people angry and funny.

"You can help me." After I sealed the things, I sat on a pile of books and rested, "You have to tell me what happened to the blood splashed on my books, and why did that bald head come here just now?" of."

"I won't tell you." He said, "I'll tell you after you find it for me."

"People in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China are such thieves?" After saying this, I immediately justified myself, "Yes, you are a legendary national capitalist. You survived in the cracks. It would be strange if you weren't a thief."

"Then you agree?"

"No!" I said, "I won't help you, what can you do to me? After 100 years, you will meet someone who can help you, and if you are capable, kill me!"

"Then let me tell you one thing first, and the other one will be finished after we find it?"

I squinted at him: "Why didn't you say to use Alipay?"

"What is Alipay?"

Talking to this old man is too strenuous: "You even know the mobile phone signal, movie stars and movie kings, but you don't know about Alipay?"

"It's not like I can go anywhere, but I can be near here. I know it when I see it and hear it. I don't know it if I don't listen to them."

I was too lazy to argue with him about this, so I said, "Just do as you say, and you should say one thing first."

"The bald man just now must have obtained a treasure map, saying that there are treasures under here, so he came here to dig."

"Baby?" I looked at the hole I just filled, and then at the box containing his skull, "Is it just your head?"

"That's not true!" he said, "My family used to live here and hid money underneath, but it was dug away long ago. That bald head is just a fool. How many times has this imperial city experienced baptism in modern times? was swept away."

"How do you know it's because of this?"

"I used this to test him just now. I said that I am a ghost hiding under here to guard the treasure. If he dares to dig further down, I will kill him."

"When did you tell him? Why didn't I hear it?"

"Just scare him away. That's it. As a ghost, I can only talk to a living person, so the living person may not be able to hear it."

"Didn't you say that ordinary people can't feel you?" I asked, "What's the matter with him?"

"He is different from you. You have spiritual power, but he has evil intentions."

I stood up, looked at the time, and had already rested for 10 minutes, so I put my mobile phone away, one in the left pocket and one in the right pocket, and then picked up the box: "Let's go, I will hold your head and you can follow me." Am I leaving?"

"Correct."

"I'll look for where I can get out. Are you going to stay with me or go out and wait for me?"

"Come with you and talk to relieve boredom."

I glanced at him contemptuously again: "Just you?" I didn't care about him, and after confirming that there were no major flaws left, I stood at the door and listened, but there was no sound outside, so I Then he gently opened the door lock, walked out quickly, and locked the door again.

"You are skilled enough."

I'm too lazy to talk to him. Besides, others can't hear him when he speaks, but others can hear me when I speak. Then I will attract people to treat me as mentally ill

I went out to look for it, and found that the anti-theft bar of a window had been sawn open, which is probably where the bald head came in from just now.I checked the height outside and opened the window a little wider.The cardboard box I took was a slightly slender cuboid, so I leaned out first, let the cardboard box gently touch the ground aside, and then climbed onto the window sill and jumped off.

"The skill is really strong. If my good friend had your two moves, we might not be able to be caught."

I gave him a blank look: "Your wife is pregnant, and she won't choose bumps in order to keep the child."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that his expression seemed a bit dignified, and he followed me and said, "What do you mean? Please speak clearly."

"The pampered and pampered lady of the family, she has been displaced by you in the troubled times. She has a delicate body, and it will definitely be more difficult after she is pregnant. If I were her, I would also want to go home and give birth safely."

"No, no, since we two love each other, we should live and die together."

"Yes, she died after giving birth, and you are with the child. Is this what you mean by 'life and death together'? Is this the life she wants? I said you have been dead for so many years, why? Still can't figure this out?"

"How can she be such a cowardly person?"

"Nonsense! Who doesn't love life and fear death?"

"me!"

"You? When you die, you don't even know how you died. How can you be greedy for life and fear death? If I tell you, you will die in nine months. This is your last nine months. Let's see if you are afraid. "

He finally shut up, and I can be clean for a while.I took out my phone to check the time, it was about three o'clock, I had already reached a place where there were people, I went into a KFC, ordered a drink and sat down.

He suddenly said, "So, she doesn't really love me that much, does she?"

I was afraid of being regarded as crazy, so I could only take out the phone, pretended to be on the phone, and cursed: "Are you out of your mind? She ran out with you, why doesn't she love you? What about you? You take her You don't think about making progress when you are wandering around the world, but after losing her, you finally make progress, but you leave her behind."

I took a sip of the hot drink and continued: "She has already given birth to you, but you still don't regard her as your wife, and keep talking about 'good friends'. Do you have any conscience?"

He seemed to be taken aback by what I said again, and it took a long time before he said, "What are you going to do now?"

"Wait for dawn, then drive back to school, I have to sleep."

"You won't be able to see me at dawn, but I can see you and talk to you, don't be afraid."

"I'll say it again, I'm not afraid if you don't scare me."

After sitting for a while, I was so sleepy that my eyelids were fighting. He seemed to see that I was sleepy, and said, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll watch from the side."

"Call me if someone takes something from me. If not, call me after dawn."

"Okay, go to sleep."

"Don't come to me in your dreams, I'm too tired to dream."

"Ah."

I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the table.

As soon as he fell asleep, he heard him say: "There is a beggar standing in front of you, do you want to get up?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't bring any money. He won't afford it unless he pays me."

I slept for a while, and when it was dawn, he woke me up. I woke up and woke up for a while, and then went back to school by car.No one got up early in the morning, so I went back to the dormitory and put the cardboard box under my bed, then quietly went out to wash up.

"That's what the girls' dormitory is like," he said.

I couldn't see him anymore, but suddenly remembered that he could still see me, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. While brushing my teeth, I warned him: "Don't go anywhere, look at everything. Don't follow me to the bathroom, do you hear me?"

"Okay, okay, let me go, I won't go."
