Uncle Ma told me that if I want to fool this matter, I have to go to Mr. Liu and ask him for a previous photo of Huang Xiaoqin.
It seems a little difficult to say this. She has been dead for so many years, so it’s hard to have photos.
As a result, I asked Mr. Liu and found out that there were indeed photos. Sister Huang kept a photo of the two sisters in her drawer because she missed her sister.
So I made another trip and took the photo. I saw that the photo should be from when I was a student. Sister Huang was probably in high school and her younger sister was in junior high school.
The two sisters had beautiful smiles and innocent eyes, as if they were full of yearning for a better life in the future.
I sighed, this is really unpredictable, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. When I took this photo, who could have imagined that a few years later, it would be like this?
I took the photo and found the eldest sister who made the paper figures, and asked her to make several paper figures. Then I enlarged and printed the photos, cut out my sister's face, and pasted it on the paper figures.
This is what Uncle Ma said, going to graves and burning newspapers to fool ghosts...
In this case, there are two paper figures for the child, one for Huang Xiaoqin's photo, a red and green groom's official paper figure, and a boy's paper figure, which is the big fat boy for Huang Xiaoqin.
Because she had a request and wanted a child, this paper boy took the place of Lele.
A total of five paper mannequin stand-ins were quickly made. I ran to the Earth Temple when it was dark in the afternoon to get this done.
As for the cosmetics, high heels, etc. that Huang Xiaoqin wants, they are actually available, and of course they are all made of paper. Now that our funeral industry is so developed, we basically have everything we need.
I also bought her a three-story villa and a car. The villa was equipped with a housekeeper and a maid, and the car was equipped with a driver.
She didn't live a good life during her lifetime, but after her death, she was provided with everything she needed to dominate her life, so that she wouldn't have to come back to cause trouble for her sister's family.
Just like that, everything was settled and I went to work as usual the next day.
When I arrived at the company, not long after I sat down, Mr. Liu came, bringing his wife and children with him. The family of three seemed to be in good spirits.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Liu came over and asked me quietly, how is the child now? Is there anything else following him?
I smiled and shook my head and said that it was fine this time. The child was clean, but he had to be careful because he was weak after being hit by something. My uncle got a charm for the child and let him wear it for a while.
In fact, this is what I drew, folded into a triangle, put it in a red cloth bag, tied a red string on the outside, and handed it to Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu was very happy, took it and put it around his child's neck.
Regarding the stacking of talismans in a triangle, many people may not understand why the talisman should be stacked in a triangle. Isn't it okay to stack the talisman in a square?
In fact, there are reasons for this. First of all, the triangle is the most stable shape, not easy to fall apart, and very strong.
Then according to scientific research, triangular structures can gather cosmic energy. For example, the pyramids in Egypt are said to be able to receive cosmic energy signals.
Why are there so many Feng Shui energy towers now, all of which are made according to pyramids? This is actually the principle.
So the amulet is stacked in a triangle for the same reason.
Mr. Liu and Sister Huang didn’t say much about this matter, but during the lunch break, Sister Huang came over and quietly told me that she slept very well last night and the child didn’t make any fuss.
Moreover, she also dreamed of her sister, who was dressed cheerfully and said that she was married and would live a good life in the future and not bother her anymore.
Even my sister was leading her partner, holding a big fat boy in her arms, and she was very happy.
I'm also very relieved. This means that the matter has finally been resolved, satisfying Huang Xiaoqin's obsession and wish, and we will no longer be entangled in it from now on.
But to be honest, I am also quite puzzled. This paper man is obviously fake and has no soul. Why does it become real after being burned?
But I don’t have time to think about these things, because according to the work plan, we have to prepare this afternoon and then go on a business trip tomorrow.
My first stop destination is Ning'an City.
Ning'an is a very interesting place, please allow me to say a few words.
Because Ning'an is the Ninggu Pagoda in the Qing Dynasty. It is now a county-level city in Heilongjiang and is managed by Mudanjiang City.
Everyone who has watched Qing palace dramas must have heard a sentence: Exile Ning Guta, and be a slave to the armored man!
At the time, this was a terrible punishment.
Some people may think that exile is not the death penalty, so what’s so scary about it?
In fact, at that time, Ninggu Pagoda was in an uncultivated state. It was frozen all year round, grains did not grow, and tigers, leopards, and wolves were everywhere. It was an inaccessible and bitterly cold place.
The natural environment is very harsh and the living conditions are extremely difficult, so Ninggu Pagoda became one of the main places of exile in the Qing Dynasty.
The criminals exiled to this place can be said to be worse off than dead. Not to mention the harsh natural environment, they are mainly slaves to the armored men. They will most likely die there.
Many people may not know what the so-called armored men mean. Armored men are soldiers who guard the border, but their status is lower than that of ordinary soldiers, because armored men are actually surrendered, and their status is only higher than that of slaves.
These armored men are regarded as synonymous with cruelty. Although they were surrendered, they also helped the Qing Dynasty conquer the country. Now they can only stay in the ice and snow to guard the border for the imperial court.
Therefore, there must be some distortion and imbalance in their hearts. The imperial court would often assign some prisoners or their families to these armored men as slaves, allowing them to drive and ravage them, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
The torment of Ninggu Pagoda is twofold. First, the journey is long and the environment is extremely harsh. Few people can survive this journey.
Even if you survive it, when you get to Ninggu Pagoda, you still have to do hard work in exchange for clothes and food, and you have no house to live in, so you can only dig a cellar. Those officials have never suffered much in their lives. Who will be the big one? It’s unbearable, and many people can’t survive the first winter.
What's more, the armored men can torture the exiled prisoners arbitrarily and even execute them at will.
Therefore, those prisoners who were sentenced to exile to Ningguta were basically sentenced to death.
I also didn’t expect that Ning Guta would be assigned to me on the first stop of this business trip.
In a blink of an eye, the next day came, I came to the bus station, got on the bus and set off.
After wandering around for a few hours, I sat in the car and looked out the window at the ice and snow. I was looking forward to it, wondering what Ninggu Pagoda looked like now.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the bus arrived at the terminal. I got off the bus with my bag on my back and looked around...
Not bad, the streets are neat and the buildings are tall. Although the city does not look big, it is completely different from the place where prisoners were exiled in my impression.
According to the pre-arranged route, I started to visit customers one by one.
In this winter, Mr. Wu is wearing a thick down jacket and big cotton boots, visiting customers, handing out business cards, and learning about the market...
When it was almost dark, I visited three customers in total and took down a lot of information, but I didn't sell anything, so I had to look for food and a place to stay.
