"Mr. Big, what do you think my girl looks like?"
"Ah?" I didn't expect Zhang Meng to ask me this kind of question, so I said in surprise: "You girl, you are pretty. What's wrong? Are you..."
After I said this, Xu Lingxiu's pretty face turned redder, which made me a little overwhelmed.
I suddenly had a strange idea, maybe Zhang Meng wanted to give her girl...
"Haha." Zhang Meng smiled awkwardly again, then sat next to me, rubbed his thighs in embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "Mr. Da, this time you came to solve the matter of my mother-in-law's body. I thank you very much. But I still have an uninvited feeling.”
"What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something?" I asked curiously.
"Ah, that's it, then I'll tell you." Zhang Meng looked at her daughter, then looked at me and said, "My daughter has never found a good job after graduating from junior high school. I, a rural woman, am in Hualian City. You don’t have any skills. Mr. Da, you are a capable person and you must have many connections in Hualian City. See if you can introduce a job to my girl. I can trust you."
"That's it." I said with relief. Just now I thought she was going to introduce her girl to my romantic partner. After all, this kind of thing is very common in rural areas.
Parents hope that their children can marry or marry capable people.
However, her sudden request still caught me a little off guard, mainly because I didn’t know anyone.
I do know a manager of a five-star hotel, but Xu Lingxiu is obviously not yet a young person who has entered social work. In addition, due to the high recruitment standards of five-star hotels, Xu Lingxiu may not be hired.
Then I told Zhang Meng that there was nothing I could do about it and I didn’t know anyone. Wan’er refused, mainly because I didn’t want to get into trouble.
Zhang Meng and Xu Lingxiu both looked disappointed when they heard this.
But Zhang Meng pondered for a moment and said unwillingly: "Mr. Da, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I want my girl to go out to work. The most important thing is that I will have to worship the dead baby tomorrow." ? I'm really afraid of something happening in the future, so I want to send my girl out. Even if something happens, it doesn't matter whether we die or not, but nothing will happen to my girl."
She had a pleading look in her eyes.
I thought to myself that she was worried about this, and then I reassured them that as long as they worship the dead baby properly, it will be fine. I can still guarantee this.
But no matter what I said, Zhang Meng was worried, saying that the ghost baby was just a kid. What if something happened and caused trouble?
She kept begging me to help with this, and finally looked at Xu Lingxiu helplessly and said: "Daughter, you are just saying a few words. You said you are so shy and introverted, what kind of job can you do? You have to learn to be brave. ah."
"I, I..." Xu Lingxiu's eyes were evasive and her face was as red as an apple. Then she looked at me and said timidly: "Da, Mr. Da, if you have the ability, please do me this favor. The main thing is , I, I have been staying at home for a year, and I want to go out to work and make money, otherwise the people in the village will laugh at me..."
"This, no, you..." I just thought.
Zhang Meng begged me again and again, which made me very helpless and found it difficult to refuse. Finally, I had no choice but to agree, saying that he would ask my friends for her, and if there was a suitable job for her, I would call her.
Zhang Meng suddenly smiled, wrote down my mobile phone number, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Da, don't worry, I'm waiting for your good news at home. It doesn't matter how much you make, as long as it's enough to eat, the main thing is to let my daughter exercise." Exercise this introverted character, she is too shy, afraid of strangers, and smart, why don’t you hurry up and thank Mr. Da, you have to train to be able to speak, it’s really you.”
"Thank you, thank you Da Xinsheng." Xu Lingxiu said shyly.
After a few polite words, they left the room with a smile.
I just lay down on the kang and slept under the wall lamp. I was so sleepy that I couldn't fall asleep. The matter of the Evil God Church weighed on my heart like a big stone.
Suddenly, I was shocked and thought of a question: why did the demon appear in Xu Jinhua's belly?
At first I thought the devil was trying to control the soul of the dead baby, but it was only because the dead baby was so resentful and resistant that the devil was unable to succeed for a while.
However, now that I think about it, something is seriously wrong. Why did I accidentally encounter the devil and follow him into the tomb?
Is this too much of a coincidence, or too smooth?
When I think about how I was almost killed by the ghost old lady in the tomb, my scalp feels a little numb and my spine feels chilly.
I wonder if this incident was a plot to kill me?
Did the people from the Evil God Church calculate in advance that I would come to Xiaojiacun, and use the devil to lure me to the tomb and kill me?
I am not being suspicious, but I am well-founded. The evil master Shen Qiaolan I met in the town three years ago, didn’t she say that as early as half a year before I went to the hospital, the Evil God Church calculated that I would appear in the hospital, and then arranged a plan? Kill my killing bureau?
When I think about the many sneaks I encountered in the hotel in the first few days, there was actually a real physical ghost. If Cao Mo and Yang Jinghong were not present, I would have been in danger that time.
This time when I came to Xiaojiacun, I met a ghost old lady, and I was almost killed.
I suddenly felt as if I was trapped in a series of killings, as if there was a big hand in the dark, quietly approaching me.
This time I encountered a ghost old lady who was half a ghost soldier. So, next time, will I be killed accidentally?
Thinking of this, I felt extremely gloomy. I felt like I was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and I really had trouble sleeping and eating.
But now it’s useless no matter how much I think about it, I have no choice but to be more careful.
But what gives me some peace of mind is that the Evil God Church seems to have only done this to me and not to my family.
My mind was in a mess and I was feeling depressed. I tried to think of happy things.
The money I earned from coming to Xiaojiacun this time and the night pearl in the tomb are the only things that make me happy.
Tomorrow, I'll take out all the Night Pearls with Xing Baole, and I'll definitely be able to sell them at a good price.
I had a strange dream tonight. I dreamed that Xiao Mengxin was walking in a dark tunnel, getting further and further away. No matter how hard I chased, I couldn't catch up.
The last moment when he was swallowed by the darkness, I woke up with a frightened heart and a strong sense of uneasiness, as if something big was about to happen.
"Something's wrong! Is Mengxin in danger?" I quickly dialed Xiao Mengxin's phone number.
Soon after the call was connected, Xiao Mengxin's dissatisfied voice came, "Chen Ba'an, you are sick. You called me at three o'clock in the middle of the night. What happened?"
Hearing her voice, I relaxed. It seemed that I was overthinking it.
But I still told her the dream I just had and asked her to pay more attention to safety.
Xiao Mengxin said very dissatisfied: "Is there water in your head? Why are you talking on the phone in the middle of the night talking about this? What can happen to me now? It's okay. I'll hang up."
After that, she hung up the phone before I could speak.
I looked at the moonlight outside the window, wondering in my heart. The uneasy feeling was still there. Why did I have such a dream?
But Xiao Mengxin was fine, so I had no choice but to suppress my inner uneasiness, reassure myself that I might be overthinking, and lie down to sleep.
After breakfast the next day, I asked Xu Gang to cremate Xu Jinhua and the baby's body who were still in the canoe. The baby's ashes must be put in a jar and brought back.
Xu Gang's eyes were red, he was a little sad, and there was no ink mark on him. He went directly to find someone to go to the river to pull the body.
I told Xing Baole about the luminous pearls, and went to the underwater tomb again to check that there were exactly ten luminous pearls.
Xing Baole originally said he didn't want it, but I don't think you should be too greedy as a person. Everyone who sees it has a share, so I gave him five, and he happily accepted it.
It’s just that the luminous pearls were too big, so we carried them back and forth several times before we got all the luminous pearls ashore.
It's best not to let the villagers see this thing, otherwise they will definitely be jealous.
Xing Baole said he would go back to the village to borrow a tractor. During this period, he asked me to give him an address when I returned to Hualian City, and he asked a reliable person to deliver it to my home.
I feel very happy. I can just ask Xiao Qilei or Xiao Mengxin to contact a buyer to take it away.
Seeing Xing Baole returning to the village, I took out the Qiankun Whip and released all the souls inside.
They were three villagers and Xiao Zheng, as well as Xu Jinhua and her children.
These people already knew what happened from Xu Jinhua. After they came out, they cried and complained that they were unjustly killed, and asked me angrily if I had killed the evil leader who had done harm to others.
After I told them that I had avenged them, they all thanked me and looked at me with great respect.
"Hey." At this time, Xiao Zheng held the child's soul and said sadly: "My daughter, my father is so sorry for you. Hey, you died in the womb before you were born. I am so sad."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Jinhua and said with tears: "Jinhua, what kind of fate do you think we have? We were all dead within less than two years of being together. I am so unwilling to accept it, huh huh... "
His cries were echoing and particularly penetrating.
The three villagers were silent and did not laugh at the romantic affairs of the two men during their lives.
"Xiao Zheng, don't be sad. Fortunately, we met Mr. Da." After Xu Jinhua finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Didn't I tell you that Mr. Da will let our daughter enjoy the incense offerings for three years? I will definitely be reborn into a good family, and..."
