The aunt said that what Xiaoxue’s father told her at that time was that when the rear of the train just passed, the two people were standing in the middle of the track. It was as if his body penetrated the entire train. Xiaoxue's father was already frightened at that time. The most bizarre thing was that the two people just stood and looked at him blankly, and then slowly disappeared like smoke, flashing away.
I never expected that I would accidentally learn about such a thing even though I was here to help Meng Dongxue take care of her family. Judging from what the aunt said, there is no doubt that Uncle Meng hit a ghost. And if I guessed correctly, since these two ghosts were holding Uncle Meng to prevent him from breaking free, their intention must be to let the train hit him. Damn Uncle Meng. If such a ghost appears on a railway track, a place where accidents often occur, it is most likely that the ghost is looking for a substitute.
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that it was slightly different from what I knew about finding a substitute. Generally speaking, finding a substitute is a one-to-one relationship. If there are two ghosts, then either there is someone else present besides Uncle Meng, or there should be only one ghost present. From this perspective, it seems a little unreasonable. But one thing is basically certain, the motives of these two ghosts are not malicious.
The aunt went on to say that after the two people on the railway track disappeared, Xiaoxue's father ran away quickly. After returning to the unit, he was a little absent-minded. The co-workers noticed something strange about him, so they kindly asked him what happened. Xiaoxue's father was also a real person, so he told others the whole story without thinking too much at the time.
But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention. In boring jobs, people like to gossip about things that have nothing to do with them, so when Xiaoxue's father revealed this matter, the workers present went crazy. Some people say that when the railway was first opened more than ten years ago, nearby residents were killed here. Some people also say that there was an incident where someone committed suicide and fell on the train here in the early years. All in all, everyone had different opinions, but it seemed that everyone had blurred the point and discussed whether someone had died here before, while ignoring the fact that Xiaoxue's father encountered a ghost.
Although the unit was quite large and there were a lot of people, such strange things quickly spread throughout the unit and even reached the ears of the leaders. The railway department is directly under the state. In other words, Xiaoxue's father's immediate boss is a manager directly assigned by the state. And this group of people is precisely the group of people who stand on their own and engage in political movements. These people had radical ideas and could not tolerate any rumors of such feudal superstition, so within a few days, they criticized Xiaoxue's father by name at the unit's workers' meeting.
The aunt sighed and said that after returning home, she also advised Uncle Meng, saying that since the leader has criticized him, he should accept it seriously and stop talking about these messy things in the future. This time the organization gave him a chance to turn over a new leaf, so he should cherish it. But Xiaoxue's father is an upright person. He said that he did not lie or deceive anyone, so why should he criticize him for this matter? Moreover, once his stubborn temper got the better of him, he would not listen to others' advice at all.
So he began to appeal to his boss constantly, saying that he had been wronged, that he had not lied, and that he had not done anything wrong. He should not be named and criticized in front of all the employees in the unit. He asked the boss to withdraw the criticism and demerits and give himself justice. . But let alone the leader himself, he doesn't believe the story about Xiaoxue's father. Even if he does believe it, he can't change it overnight. This will greatly damage his prestige. Things that had already died down were now brought to another level by Xiaoxue's father.
So the leader couldn't bear it any more. After Xiaoxue's father had served the company for many years, he gave him a disciplinary decision of suspending him without pay. Unless he is willing to openly admit his ridiculous mistake, this disciplinary decision will never be changed. If he does not realize his mistake for a long time, he will be removed from the unit.
Removal is equivalent to taking away someone's job. This is to force people to a dead end. Xiaoxue's father has a very stubborn personality and refuses to admit his mistakes, so he broke up with the leader on bad terms and has been staying at home these days. But this person has a high spirit and cannot bear such grievances, but cannot change the reality, so he is depressed every day. He starts to sigh every few minutes, and soon his mood is very bad. He can't sleep at night and eats during the day. If it didn't stop, the family felt that if it continued like this, the person would probably become disabled, so they went to see a doctor. The doctor said it was a mental illness and gave him some sleeping pills to help him sleep at night. He also needed to figure it out on his own.
When my aunt told me these words, she always referred to Uncle Meng as "Xiaoxue's father". Her words revealed anxiety and helplessness. But I don't know where her helplessness lies. If you follow the normal practice of ordinary people and encounter ghosts, then ask the masters to take care of them. Isn't this a simple matter? So I asked my aunt a lot, do you believe what Uncle Meng said?
Auntie was stunned for a moment, then looked at me with some contempt and shook her head slightly. I said since you don’t believe it yourself, what’s the point of telling me this? The aunt said that she knew it was meaningless, but since you are doing this, maybe I told you, you can think of something, aren't you here to help Xiaoxue take care of her father? Help us analyze it, this is the best care.
Although what the aunt said was right, it didn't sound right to her. It feels like I clearly despise you, but I still want you to do things for me. Suddenly, I felt a little disappointed. Meng Dongxue is a tolerant and good girl, but why is there such a big gap between her and the aunt and her mother in front of her.
If the other party was not Meng Dongxue's family, if it had been any other person, I would have thrown the plate and left at this moment. But I still have to endure it, and this endurance is not anger, but sadness. The sad thing is that I have to accept her ridiculous logic without letting her notice my reluctance.
So I told my aunt that the things you mentioned are actually not difficult to handle, but if I want to help, I have to listen to what Uncle Meng himself said first. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to ask him in person? My tone also became inexplicably polite, which was how I kept distance from others in the beginning. The aunt said that this matter was a knot in the heart of Xiaoxue's father. During these days, we basically closed the door to thank guests, and even in our own home, we basically did not mention this matter. If you ask him in person like this, what will happen? Won't it make him feel worse?
I said no, I am too cautious. Uncle Meng's illness was not due to being frightened by ghosts, but because he was suspected and mistrusted by others. Regardless of whether there are ghosts in this world, even if there are, the harm that people do to ghosts is definitely greater than the harm that ghosts do to people. Therefore, there is no need to mention the relationship between people.
I said it lightly, but after all, my aunt’s life experience is there, and she knew that my words were mocking her and those who were afraid of these things, but did not believe them. So she tried not to have an attack, but looked at me with that contemptuous look and said, "Go and ask yourself. You don't need to wash the bowl. I can just do it myself."
So I washed my hands and wiped the water stains on my body. This action is very rude and inelegant, I know that, but it is really tiring to pretend to be someone I cannot be, and I can only be myself. Then I smiled at my aunt and walked into their house without saying anything.
Meng Xiaomei was studying her homework obediently. In order not to disturb her, Uncle Meng even closed the door of the room. He himself was sitting in front of the cabinet, listening to the radio broadcast with his ears close to his ears. The reason why he had to close his ears was because he turned the volume down very low. So I walked up to Uncle Meng and whispered in his ear, "Uncle Meng, can you sit over a little bit and I'll talk to you about something."
Before that, Uncle Meng had been chatting with me for a whole afternoon, and I still felt very harmonious and happy. Since Uncle Meng's biggest worry is that no one believes what he says, then I believe it.
Uncle Meng turned off the radio and sat back on the sofa, while I sat on the small stool in front of him. I whispered to him, when I was washing the dishes just now, I had a little chat with my aunt, and I found out why you stayed at home instead of going to work recently. Is it because the doctor said you were sick?
Although my behavior is very similar to that of which pot is not opened, I have to find the entry point of the topic in this way. As expected, Uncle Meng immediately became depressed after hearing what I said. He sighed and said, the world is like this. As long as a person is different from most other people, people will not think whether you are right or not, but first think that you are sick, and the problem is all yours. Your biggest problem The problem is that you are different from others.
Uncle Meng was a little angry when he spoke, and I was worried that he would become agitated later, and I would ruin his mood even before we even started a formal conversation. So I quickly patted his shoulder and said, Uncle Meng, I understand. Auntie told me all the things you experienced just now, saying that you were kind enough to save two people who were almost too late to cross the railway, but you almost lost your life. No, it was later discovered that the two people who were rescued were not humans at all, but ghosts, right?
Uncle Meng looked at my face and nodded tentatively. He probably thought that I would also find his words very ridiculous. I said to Uncle Meng, Uncle Meng, I believe every word you say.
