Salt Selection Column Title: “Death at Midnight: You Are Targeted” Author: @ Black Moon Suspense Author, Write a Story That Makes Your Heart Beat Fast In order to change my luck, I invited a Buddha card.
My girlfriend came back, I got a promotion and a raise, and I even won two lottery tickets.
But the people around him died one after another. Only then did I know the truth of the Buddha card.
Half a month ago, my family was forced to break up with his girlfriend Xiaowen because they could not afford 200,000 betrothal gifts. The
marriage was ruined, and my father was so angry that he had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
I had no choice but to contact Wang Gang, an old classmate who was doing well, and planned to borrow some money from him to tide over the current difficulties. After
listening to my complaint, Wang Gang patted me on the shoulder and said meaningfully, “It’s not the way to borrow money all the time. You’ve been very unlucky recently. Would you like to try to change your luck?”?
I was very puzzled, saying that this thing can be changed?
“Of course I can!” Wang Gang smiled mysteriously, saying that the reason why he had a good time in the past two years was that he had offered the Buddha card. He also said that it was very efficacious. As long as he offered it properly, he could have great luck! In this way, under the instigation of Wang Gang, I tried to offer the Buddha card.
Wang Gang got it for me. The day I
got the Buddha card, I held it in my hands and looked at it carefully for a long time.
This thing is only the size of a palm, very inconspicuous, the surface is carved with a curled up child statue, the statue inside, accumulated some amber liquid.
Wang Gang said that it was corpse oil. What
I have invited for you is a’passing Buddha. ‘The effect is very domineering, and it can almost make all your wishes come true.
But there are also taboos, first of all, can not wear the body, must find a shrine to offer up, secondly, the wish can not be too excessive, to know how to get better, do you know?
He had a serious face. But
I can’t help laughing. It sounds like the truth. Who believes it?
After all, it was bought with money, and I didn’t want to throw it away, so with a try mentality, I followed the steps Wang Gang taught me to “get into the spirit.” I cut off a clump of my own hair and burned it with the eight characters of my birthday curled up, saying in my heart, “Let it bless me to make more money and turn over as soon as possible.” Afterwards, I went to the hospital to deliver food to my father, and when I came back, I passed by a very busy mahjong hall.
I seldom play mahjong at ordinary times, but at that time I was in a daze and pushed the door devilishly and went in, always feeling that I could win money. Strange to
say, I got a big one on the first lap.
Tianhu, thirteen one! The people who were playing with me were all stunned. An aunt looked at me in a daze. “Young man, why are you the first one to play Hu 13? It’s very evil.” I’m not too happy.
Hu Pai is lucky. What’s the matter with evil? After
several rounds, I won a lot of money, and they stopped playing with me, so I took advantage of the situation.
Leaving the mahjong parlor, I was so lucky that I plunged into a lottery shop.
I bought a double color ball, and the number is random.
If you can win the lottery in this way, it means that the Buddha card is really effective! When the lottery opened the next day, I sat by the computer in advance and took out the lottery ticket to check.
Not to mention, I really won the third prize, although the bonus is not much, it is not a small windfall.
I was so happy that I quickly dialed Wang Gang’s cell phone and told him that I had won the lottery and planned to invite him to dinner.
But Wang Gang refused to come out. I won’t go. You keep the money for yourself, and no one else can enjoy it.
I felt this was strange, and before I could ask, another call came in on my cell phone. It was from Dad’s attending physician.
I got through in a hurry, and the doctor said that my father’s condition was very unstable, and it was better to arrange an operation as soon as possible.
Hearing this, my mood fell to the bottom in an instant. The
cost of the operation is at least two hundred thousand yuan, even if you borrow all your relatives, it’s not enough. I
had no choice but to go home. I was stunned by the Buddha tablets placed on the altar and laughed at myself. I was expecting to offer a Buddha tablet to turn over. It was useless. A third prize was less than a fraction of the cost of the operation.
I said this purely to vent my discontent, and I never thought I could really use it to make a windfall.
But fate is so coincidental that you can’t believe it.
The next morning, on my way to work by subway, I accidentally picked up an abandoned lottery ticket.
At that time, I didn’t pay much attention to it. The probability of winning the double-color ball was too low. Many people bought it just to change for a ride. It was not unusual to throw it away after buying it.
I was going to throw it away, but when I thought about it, I remembered that I had won the lottery yesterday.
What if we get lucky?
As luck would have it, I put the lottery ticket I picked up into my pocket.
By the time of the lottery, I was still guarding the computer, originally did not report any hope, but when the rolling double-color ball numbers jumped into my eyes one by one, the mentality immediately exploded.
I won again! This is the second prize, according to the accumulated amount of the prize pool, it can be divided into more than two hundred thousand.
Just enough to pay for Dad’s surgery! Holding the lottery ticket I picked up, I kissed and ate it, excited and uneasy, after all, the money came from the wrong way.
But when I think of my father’s situation, I still bite the bullet and buy a ticket to go to Nanjing to cash the prize. After two days of
delay, I rushed to the hospital to pay the fee with the bonus, and talked to the attending physician about the matters needing attention in the operation.
After that, I walked out of the hospital triumphantly, and then the accident happened suddenly.
A middle-aged man in a hospital gown suddenly jumped from the roof of the hospital and fell less than ten meters away from me, smashing his bones and splashing his blood all over me! “My God!” I was so scared that my face turned green. I fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for a long time.
This accident is too sudden! The hospital was very crowded, and there were people watching the scene of bustle everywhere. When the doctors and nurses carried away the body, a man who looked like a cleaner helped me up. “Young man, are you scared?”?
“I asked with a shivering mouth,” Grandpa, what’s the situation of this man? Why did he jump off the building? The
cleaner said something that made my hair stand on end. This guy is unlucky. He has a terminal illness but no money to cure it. He has to hope to buy a lottery ticket. God knows, he really won a second prize! It was a lucky thing, but he lost his lottery ticket on the subway.
Alas, after experiencing such ups and downs, I was stimulated and jumped off the building.
It was like a nail, and it made me feel uncomfortable.
Confused for a long time, I returned home, staring at the Buddha card, the more I looked at it, the more nervous I became. After thinking about it
, I called Wang Gang and told him what had happened.
Wang Gang was silent for a while, then laughed at me and said it was a coincidence.
My state of mind is a little broken. Can this be a coincidence?
I am not calm, saying that this thing is too evil, I do not want to continue to pay, can you throw it away?
Wang Gang immediately said loudly, “No!”! I was so depressed that I asked him why?
Wang Gang hesitated for a long time before he said that since I tied my hair to the eight characters of my birthday and burned it, that thing has been associated with me.
Now it only recognizes you. If you lose the Buddha card, the things inside will think that you have abandoned it. What will happen then is anyone’s guess.
“I was dumbfounded in an instant.” Is there such a taboo?
Why didn’t you tell me?
“Wang Gang said with a wry smile,” There are both advantages and disadvantages. If you want to change your luck, you naturally have to take some risks. Don’t worry too much. As long as you worship normally and don’t make excessive wishes, nothing will happen. If you really can’t, don’t make any wishes in the future.
All right! I can’t think of a better way, so I have to do it. After
putting down the phone, I directly found a piece of black cloth and covered the Buddha card.
A week later, Dad got off the operating table smoothly. Considering that he could not be taken care of during his recuperation, I rushed back to the company and prepared to ask the leader for a few days’leave.
But Manager Zhou said that the company had a project to catch up with, and I had to stay in the company to work overtime recently until the contract was completed.
I was very embarrassed and explained the difficulties to Manager Zhou, but he didn’t show any mercy and said that you should either work overtime or go away! Considering the cost of physiotherapy in the later stage of the operation, I could only bite my back teeth and agree. It was already one o’clock in the morning
when I came home after working overtime. While
taking a bath, I looked at my haggard face in the mirror and angrily scolded, “This Chou is really not a thing. He always makes me work overtime. One day I’ll give him a taste of death from overwork!”. As soon as I finished speaking, the warm light in the bathroom flashed, which startled me. I didn’t think much about it
at that time. Maybe the line was aging?
The next morning, I was awakened by the ringing of the telephone.
The call came from Dad’s doctor, who spoke in a particularly hurried tone. “Lin yuan, come quickly, something’s happened to your father!”. I am stupefied, is the operation successful?
The attending doctor said that the heart operation was really successful, but when the hospital reexamined my father, another tumor was found.
I am stupefied, say incorrect, before becoming heart operation, had done systemic examination?
The doctor said, “The tumor should have grown after the operation. It’s only a few days old, and it’s already the size of a pigeon egg. It’s a malignant tumor!” It was a thunderbolt, and it made my forehead buzz.
Silly for a long time, I frowned and asked the doctor if there was any way?
The doctor sighed and said, “Let’s get ready for the funeral!” …… It wasn’t long before my dad left.
On the day of my father’s funeral, I saw Wang Gang in the funeral parlor.
Incense, the boy did not speak, but looked at me with a heavy heart, a look of desire to speak and stop.
I was too busy with my dad’s funeral to ask.
By the end of the funeral, I was so exhausted that I hurried home to take a shower and plan to have a good sleep.
But soon after lying down, I saw an explosive news in the work group. Manager
Zhou died.
It was said that during the period when I asked for leave, Manager Zhou seemed to have taken stimulants, worked overtime day and night, and even lived and ate in the office. On the day of
the accident, he didn’t even go to the toilet.
Until his death, Manager Zhou’s hand was still on the keyboard and kept typing.
Knowing the news, I tossed and turned all night.
I vaguely remember that in the middle of the night when Manager Chou forced me to work overtime, I seemed to have said that I wanted him to “die of overwork.”.
Is it a coincidence, or.. The next morning, when I was sleeping soundly, I was woken up by a ringing. The phone was from Xiaowen. I haven’t been in touch with her
since the marriage broke down.
She’s calling now. Is she changing her mind? When
the phone was connected, I heard Xiaowen say, Lin yuan, did I leave my ID card at your house?
I couldn’t help laughing at myself. It was to get my ID card back. Before the
collapse, Xiaowen often came to my house. Maybe she lost her ID card at that time.
Returning to my senses, I hung up the phone hastily, rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the bedroom, and worked for a long time before I found the ID card in the bedside table.
Looking at Xiaowen’s quiet and clean face on her ID card, I couldn’t help thinking, “If only I hadn’t broken up with her.”.
Passing by the living room to go downstairs, I caught a glimpse of the Buddha tablet that I had covered with black cloth before. I don’t know when it actually opened a corner, revealing the eyes of the child statue, as if smiling at me.
That expression makes me feel uncomfortable all over.
I can’t figure it out. That piece of cloth has been well covered on the Buddha card all the time. How can it be lifted?
I took my ID card to Xiaowen’s house downstairs, and she was waiting for me at the gate of the community.
Four eyes face each other, the atmosphere is a little awkward. In
silence, I handed over my ID card and said that you should take it well and don’t be so forgetful in the future.
“Mmm!” She took the ID card and looked at me as if she had something to say. The
atmosphere is more subtle.
I opened my mouth and asked her if she had something to say to me?
Xiaowen nodded and was about to open her mouth when a very mean voice came from behind her. “Xiaowen, what are you doing? Why don’t you go home?” Looking up, I saw Xiaowen’s mother.
The old woman who was supposed to be my mother-in-law was running over with a strong face. She quickly grabbed Xiaowen’s hand and turned her head to the depths of the community. “You’re losing my face. Didn’t I tell you not to contact him?” Looking at Xiaowen who was dragged away by force, I had mixed feelings in my heart and felt very depressed.
In fact, our relationship has always been good, if her mother is not so Philistine. That afternoon, I got myself so drunk that I didn’t stumble back to my place of residence until after midnight. When I
entered the living room, I found that the black cloth covering the Buddha card had slipped to the ground.
At that time I was angry, so I picked up the black cloth and covered it again, and with my mouth full of alcohol, I said, “Aren’t you very capable? If you have the ability, why don’t you let Xiaowen marry me?” I don’t remember when I fell asleep. When I got up the next day, I felt a headache. I planned to go to the hospital to prescribe some medicine to sober up. On the way, I received a call from Wang Gang. He took the initiative to ask me to go to the bar to get together.
I also had something to ask him, so I readily agreed.
As soon as I arrived at the bar, I complained to him that the Buddha card was very evil, and by the way, I talked about Manager Zhou. But
Wang Gang said casually, “Who doesn’t have a lot of pressure these days? What’s so strange about a workaholic who works overtime all day and dies suddenly at his post?”?
I was not very calm, saying that as soon as I cursed him on the front foot, he died suddenly on the back foot. This is too evil. How can
you be sure that these two things are connected, that you saw the Buddha card kill people? There was a hint of jest in the tone of the
Wang Gang.
I am speechless. How can
a small Buddha card kill people? As soon as
I put my heart back in my stomach, Wang Gang seemed to be trying to frighten me. He said half jokingly, “If one day you find that the Buddha card is cracked for no reason, then you really have to be careful.”.
“I froze for a moment.” What will happen?
“Drink up and worry about it all day!” Wang Gang, however, refused to say more, grabbed his glass and changed the subject. After
drinking for nearly two or three hours, I helped the drunken Wang Gang out to stop the car. As soon as I sent him away, the mobile phone began to vibrate again, and Xiaowen’s number emerged.
“Why is she again..” I am bored, although I have always wanted to get back together with Xiaowen, but when I think of her mean mother, I feel unhappy.
Thinking of this, I simply put down the phone.
But after a while, the bell rang again. Is
it over or not?
I was so disturbed that I pressed the answer button.
As soon as I put my cell phone to my ear, I heard Xiaowen crying, “Lin yuan, come to my house quickly. My mother was stuck by a fish when she was eating.” I’m speechless.
It’s a big deal. Why don’t you just feed her some vinegar?
Xiaowen couldn’t stop sobbing. “It wasn’t stuck by a fish bone, it was stuck by a whole fish.”.
‘Huh?
I’m confused. Is such an adult stuck by the whole fish?
Feeling that things were a little strange, he quickly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be right there!” After hanging up the phone, I quickly stopped a taxi.
When I arrived at her house downstairs, Xiaowen’s mother was already lying on a stretcher and was carried down by several ambulance workers. What
appeared in front of me was a face that was black and blue, extremely painful and twisted. Stunned, I asked the doctor what was going on?
The doctor told me that the patient was suffocated to death by a yellow croaker blocking his trachea while drinking soup. In
the morgue, Xiaowen cried her heart out.
I took her hand and tried to comfort her, but I didn’t know how to open my mouth.
A strange feeling that I can’t describe makes me feel uneasy.
In the middle of the night, Xiaowen, tired from crying, lay on my shoulder, her tone revealing her extreme bitterness and exhaustion. “Lin yuan, stay and help me. You know, my parents divorced a long time ago, and I don’t know how to handle my mother’s funeral..” I answered confusedly.
Less than a week later, I rushed to the funeral home to deal with the second funeral.
The staff were silly and said it was you again. I do not know how to respond, only a wry smile. For three days
in a row, I accompanied Xiaowen and arranged her mother’s funeral for her.
Sometimes, I even think selfishly, in fact, her mother left is also a good thing, at least now, no one has stopped me and Xiaowen together.
But when I came to my senses, I had a deep sense of guilt because of this idea. After the
funeral, I stopped a taxi and planned to take Xiaowen home first.
But in the middle of the walk, she suddenly put her arms around me and wailed, “Lin yuan, I’m really helpless now..” Looking at Xiaowen’s haggard face, my heart ached.
Now that her mother is gone, Xiaowen, who is lonely and helpless, really needs someone to rely on.
I asked her if she would come home with me and I would take care of her for the rest of her life. With tears in her eyes
, Xiaowen agreed. Before I
took Xiaowen home, I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do. I had to find a place to put the Buddha tablet first.
Because the experience of these days is probably related to the evil Buddha card. I don’t want Xiaowen to see the Buddha card, let alone let Xiaowen touch it.
I sent her away, and I hurried home, climbing the stairs and pondering how to place the Buddha tablet?
Before I could make a decision, another strange phenomenon happened.
Uncovering the black cloth covering the Buddha tablet, I found that two cracks had exploded on the small figure in the middle of the Buddha tablet, just below its eyes.
The two cracks were very deep, and even the dark yellow liquid stored inside the Buddha tablet seeped out along the cracks.
At first glance, it looks like it’s crying at me! What’s going on here?
Looking at the statue of the tearful child, I was so frightened.
I remember the last time I drank, Wang Gang once said that once the Buddha card cracked, I had to be careful. I don’t know
how to be careful, but my intuition tells me that it must not be a good thing.
Thinking of this, I quickly called Wang Gang. No one answered
the phone.
This boy is not hiding from me, is he?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. I hurried downstairs and took a taxi to where Wang Gang lived.
Finally, I stopped Wang Gang playing cards in a small teahouse downstairs of his house. After
listening to my story, Wang Gang immediately froze for a moment and said with a trembling mouth, “Boss, how can it be cracked?” “I wanted to ask you a ***ing question!” I was so angry that I said that you invited this thing for me. Since I invited it, there has never been a good thing around me. Do you want to help me or hurt me?
Wang Gang was also worried. “How can you say such a thing? I’m obviously well-intentioned.” With a cold face, I said what should I do now?
You said last time, as long as the Buddha card is cracked, I must be careful. What will happen?
Wang Gang thought for a moment and said hesitantly, “Run the spirit.” Once the Buddha card cracks, the things inside will run away, and the Buddha card will naturally lose its function.
I said what else?
Wang Gang shook his head and said it was gone.
I don’t believe it. Are you sure there won’t be any serious consequences?
Wang Gang’s face was full of bitterness. What serious consequences could there be? At most.. It’s the money you made through it before, and you will lose it slowly.
He says that the principle of worshipping Buddha cards is the same as “borrowing luck.” The windfall I got was not something I was destined to have at all. I just relied on the spirits in the Buddha cards to forcibly borrow the good luck that did not belong to me. Things that
can be borrowed will be returned sooner or later.
Once the Buddha card is gone, I will probably be more unlucky than before.
“All right..” It’s better to be unlucky than to live in fear.
I think it’s a good thing.
Back home, I immediately found a piece of black cloth, hurriedly wrapped up the Buddha card, and threw it into the corridor at night.
I thought this was the end of the matter, but that night, I had a frightening dream for no reason. In the
dream, a black, hairless little man appeared.
At that time, he squatted on the bedside table and asked me why he abandoned him. He also said that he would come back to me and take away all the things he gave me! In the end, it jumped down from the bedside table and pinched my neck with its hands. I was scared to wake up by a nightmare. When I
woke up, I was covered with cold sweat. When I touched my neck, I felt very uncomfortable. There was phlegm in my throat. I even felt hard to breathe. I could only keep coughing.
Eventually, I coughed up a thick piece of sputum with a lot of blood on it.
Looking back on the scene in my dream, I still have a lingering fear.
When I was stunned, there was a knock on the door.
Who is it?
This early in the morning! I was so excited that I got out of bed swearing and ran out of the living room to open the door.
Xiaowen came to my house with two suitcases.
I scratched my head, “You..” Why did you come without saying hello?
Xiaowen gave me a white look and said, “Why, aren’t you welcome?”?
“No..” A little at a loss, I hurried to welcome people in, saw the sofa piled with smelly socks that had not been washed for several days, and rushed to tidy up.
Leave it to me. Without saying a word
, Xiaowen took the initiative to help me clean up the living room. After
washing clothes, she thought the balcony was too dirty and went to the bathroom to get a big bucket of water to clean up for me. Just as
I was wondering, Xiaowen mopped the floor and asked me if someone had come home last night?
I said no.
Hsiao-wen, on the other hand, thought it was strange. No one came. How could there be a child’s footprints on the balcony?
“Hmm?”? My heart missed a beat when I said
this. I was busy saying where there were children’s footprints. Why didn’t I see them?
Wen curled her lips and said, “There were quite a few just now, but now I’ve already mopped the floor!” With that, she went to the bathroom alone and left me standing on the balcony.
Xiaowen just stayed at my house and lived with me with a good conscience.
At first I felt quite excited, but gradually, I began to realize that she was not normal. Xiaowen and I had been dating for three years before we
officially lived together. For
three years, she had been very quiet and never took the initiative in that matter between men and women. She’s changed
since we moved in together. As soon as
it gets dark, she will take the initiative to stick to it, like a cat that can never be fed. I’m
not afraid of being laughed at. I’m a strong young man, and my body can’t bear it at all.
Secondly, Xiaowen’s desire for control is becoming stronger and stronger.
She always looked at my phone from time to time and deleted several of my female clients.
Especially at night, whenever someone calls me, even if she is asleep, she will sit up like a conditioned reflex, ask me to turn on the speakerphone, and listen to me straight after the call.
At first I didn’t care.
Women are born to be narrow-minded. In addition, I am usually busy with my work and can’t spare much time to accompany her. It is understandable that she will be suspicious.
Until half a month later, something happened that made me completely uneasy.
That afternoon, the company temporarily asked us to work overtime, because the task was too urgent, I did not bother to call Xiaowen to explain the whole story. It
was almost half past two in the morning when I finished my work. It was raining heavily at that time, so I didn’t bring an umbrella. It happened that my female colleague, Sister Hong, brought an umbrella, so I was going to walk with her for a while.
But as soon as I walked out of the company gate, I saw Xiaowen standing in the rain, holding an umbrella and looking at us coldly.
As if she had been stimulated by something, she suddenly rushed over and pushed Sister Hong away, scolding her for being shameless and seducing her husband! I don’t know what happened to Xiaowen. Even though all the colleagues in the department testified for us, Xiaowen was still unrelenting and even deliberately scratched Sister Hong’s face with her nails.
I’m in the middle. Don’t mention how embarrassing it is. On the way
home, I was in a bad mood and wanted to find a chance to say something to her.
But as soon as I got home, she became a good girl in seconds and hugged me as if nothing had happened.
That’s not the most important thing. After that day, Sister Hong was frightened and didn’t come to work the next day.
I felt sorry and wondered if I should go to Sister Hong’s house to apologize after work.
But before I could get off work, I received a call from Sister Hung asking for help. “Lin yuan, come to my house quickly. I don’t know what’s wrong with your girlfriend. She suddenly broke into my house and said I was trying to seduce you. It’s really naughty. If you don’t come, I’ll call the police!” What? After
listening, I was so silly that I took a taxi to Sister Hong’s house.
Xiaowen was indeed present.
When I broke into the living room, she was holding a pair of scissors and had forced Sister Hong onto the balcony.
Stop it! What’s wrong with you?
That was the first time I lost my temper with Xiaowen.
In the process of snatching the scissors, Xiaowen accidentally cut her hand, but she didn’t feel any pain at all. She just looked at me with a sad face, as if she had suffered a great grievance. “Lin yuan, you’ve changed. You actually attacked me for a woman. You really have something to do. Otherwise, why should you help her instead of me?”? I
can’t describe how I felt. The
former Xiaowen would not be so unreasonable. What’s wrong with her?
After apologizing to Sister Hong, I hurriedly pulled Xiaowen away and went to the hospital to dress the wound.
Her spirit has been very excited, bandaging the wound, actually do not feel pain, just keep repeating a sentence, questioning me and the red sister in the end there is no matter? When I get
home, I’m going to have a good chat with her.
But Xiaowen, who quarreled with me outside, became a good girl when she came home, and she was obedient to me.
I noticed that her eyes were dull, like a pair of dead fish eyes, which had lost their usual vitality and vividness.
Even when he laughed, he looked empty. Something was wrong with
her, and I instinctively put my arms around her and said, “What’s the matter with you?”?
Why don’t we get married, and when you have a baby, maybe you won’t be so paranoid.
These are my sincere words.
But as soon as Xiaowen opened her mouth, she almost scared me half to death. Don’t we already have it?
It’s always at home with me.
“What?”?
I let go like an electric shock and stood up suddenly. My whole soul shuddered as I
recalled the dream.
Did it really come back?
Xiaowen said softly, “It’s all your fault. He was so angry when he lost his baby last time. You’re not a good father at all.”.
At that time, I was so scared that I took off. I stared at Xiaowen’s silly face and turned my head to run away from the house.
But I didn’t dare to leave Xiaowen alone at home, so I had to hold her in my arms and stay up all night on the sofa.
I can’t sleep all the time, and I’m thinking while smoking.
Dad’s death, Manager Zhou’s sudden death, and the scary picture of Xiaowen’s mother suffocating. Over and over again in my mind. How many things did
Wang Gang not tell me? It
was not easy to stay up until dawn. I looked at Xiaowen, who was still sleeping soundly. I gritted my teeth and turned away. To be
on the safe side, when I went out, I locked the door to avoid Xiaowen doing something radical.
As usual, Wang Gang is still playing cards downstairs.
When I walked into the teahouse, Wang Gang was just playing cards, and his face was wrinkled with laughter when he collected the money.
But as soon as he saw me, the smile on his face immediately froze and he said, “Why are you here again without saying hello in advance?”?
I sneer to myself and say hello in advance. Can I still find you? When I got to the
empty place, I opened the cigarette I had just bought and handed one over. “Something happened to my family again,” I said in a sullen tone.
“What’s the matter..” Wang Gang glanced at me with an unnatural expression. As
I talked about Xiaowen’s abnormality, I tested his reaction out of the corner of my eye.
Wang Gang immediately advised me not to think about it blindly. Maybe it was the changes in your girlfriend’s family that made her feel insecure.
I did not speak, but stared at the mouth where he was smoking.
Wang Gang was very uncomfortable when I saw him. He raised the cigarette in his hand and changed the subject, saying, “You have a good cigarette. How can you be willing to smoke such a good cigarette?”?
“I said with an expressionless face,” Didn’t I make a fortune with the Buddha card before? I bought this cigarette with the money I earned from the Buddha card. As soon as
the voice fell, the corners of Wang Gang’s mouth trembled as he smoked a cigarette, as if he had been burned by something, and the cigarette fell to the ground.
Sure enough. Looking at his reaction, my heart was cold, and I handed over the second one with an expressionless face. “It’s all right. I have more here. Would you like to renew it for you?”?
“You..” Wang Gang stepped back directly, looked at me with a shocked face, opened his mouth wide, and did not speak for a long time. After a long
silence, I said coldly, “Why don’t you dare to take my cigarette?”?
Wang Gang had a sullen face and kept silent.
I went on to say, “Well, let me change the subject. How did my father die? Was it because I paid for his operation with the money I earned from the Buddha card?”?
You’ve guessed it all, and you’re still asking me?
Seeing that he could not escape, Wang Gang could only grieve and say, “If you make money through the Buddha card, that’s called partial wealth. You can’t touch a penny of other people’s money except yourself. Otherwise, you have to pay back as much as you take.” If you use that money to pay for your father’s operation, it’s tantamount to letting him owe the Buddha life. Even if he has the operation safely, he has to pay it back in other ways.
Damn, no wonder! My eyes were so red that I wanted to tear off his big fat face. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”?
Didn’t I get my own father killed?
“Wang Gang laughed miserably.” It’s not that you hurt him. After all, your father’s body at that time.. If you don’t die of malignant tumors, you will die of heart disease.
“I clenched my back teeth and said,” What about Manager Chou and Xiaowen’s mother? They were all killed by the things in the Buddha card, weren’t they?
He stopped talking. *** you! I rushed straight up and grabbed Wang Gang by the neck. With red eyes, I said, “I just want to make more money. I never wanted to harm anyone. You know that thing is evil. Why did you instigate me to give it up?”?
“I didn’t mean it!” Wang Gang turned his face into a pumpkin. “How the hell did I know things would turn out like this?”?
“You’re not the only one offering this Buddha card. It’s all right for so many people to offer it, but you’re the only one who has so many problems. I don’t know where to argue..” I let go of him and said, “Tell me, what do I have to do so that the thing will leave?”?
Wang Gang was silent again for a long time before he said, Normally speaking, once the Buddha card runs away, that thing will naturally disappear.
“Or if you think about it, could it be because you made a wish before you lost the Buddha card?” “What am I thinking?” I grabbed him by the neck and said, “You invited the Buddha card for me. How can you send it away?”?
Tell me, how on earth can we get Xiaowen back to normal?
“Don’t worry, there’s still a way out!” Wang Gang was frightened by my expression. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said, “Didn’t you make a windfall through the Buddha card before?”?
Now the only way is to spread the money, first spread out all the money you earn through the Buddha card, it will leave you.
“I froze for a moment.” Are you sure my life can go back to normal as long as I scatter the money?
“He nodded firmly.” Of course, if you lose the money, you don’t owe it anything. It has no reason to keep pestering you.
‘Well.. At this point, I really don’t have a choice. I
only blame myself for not being obsessed and believing in the lie that the Buddha card can change luck. When I came to the
bank, I gritted my teeth and took out all my savings. With the money on me, it was only more than four thousand yuan. All the money I earned
before was put into the hospital, and after two funerals in a row, that’s all I had left.
I hope the method that Wang Gang taught me is really effective! It was not until seven o’clock in the evening that I returned to the gate of the community with a nervous heart. While no one was paying attention, I threw the plastic bag containing the four thousand yuan directly into the trash can, and then hurried home.
Xiaowen has been sitting at home waiting for me and heating the food for me.
She seemed to have forgotten about the quarrel yesterday, and she still had a gentle face and asked after me.
I looked at her busy back, silently clenched my fist, determined to get rid of this nightmare! A night without words.
I don’t know if it was because I lost money yesterday. When I woke up, I felt that Xiaowen had become much more normal. I even offered to invite Sister Hong to dinner and apologize by the way.
I couldn’t tell whether she was really getting better or not, so I had to say no, just leave the matter of Sister Hong to me.
That afternoon, instead of returning to the company, I borrowed some money from a friend and made a special trip to invite Sister Hong out for dinner to apologize.
Fortunately, Sister Hong has a good character. Seeing that my apology was so sincere, she did not continue to pursue it.
But when she left, she said with a strange expression, “Lin yuan, your girlfriend’s brain may not be quite normal, otherwise, take her to see a psychologist as soon as possible.”. What else can I do
but smile bitterly?
When I returned home, it was very late. I told Xiaowen the good news.
But before I could open my mouth, Xiaowen came running excitedly and kissed me on the face. “Honey, guess what I picked up today?”?
I wondered what I had picked up to make you so happy?
She smiled sweetly and suddenly got out of the way, revealing something on the tea table for me to see. “I went downstairs to take out the garbage in the morning, and I found 4000 yuan in the trash can. I don’t know which fool threw it..” Flop! Before she had finished speaking, I had fallen down on the ground, staring at the tea table in disbelief. The plastic bag on the
tea table is just what I used to hold money yesterday.
Xiaowen actually picked it up! There was a “buzz” in my mind, and when I looked at Xiaowen’s smiling face, I always felt that it was like laughing at me.
I was silly for a long time and didn’t say a word. The
next morning, before Xiaowen woke up, I secretly found all the money she had picked up, ran downstairs, found a place where no one was there, and buried it all.
I don’t believe that Xiaowen can still find the money! But I don’t know why, as soon as I got back to the company that day, I found that every colleague around me looked at me a little wrong, as if I had five million on my forehead.
Without waiting for me to ask them what the situation was, the boss of the company pushed open the door of the office, went to the middle of the crowd and announced a personnel appointment in public.
He said that since the sudden death of manager Zhou, there has been a vacancy in the position of department manager, and after the company’s high-level research and decision, I intend to take over the position.
In the collective congratulations of my colleagues, I looked at a loss.
So that’s a promotion? After
announcing the appointment, the boss came to me alone and asked me to go to the personnel office in the afternoon to sign a labor contract.
Now that he has been promoted, his salary and treatment will naturally be raised.
At that time, I didn’t think so much, so I nodded and said thank you, boss. I didn’t realize anything was wrong
until I signed the contract again. Before the
promotion, my monthly salary was only about five thousand, and with all the performance bonuses, it was just over six thousand.
But this time, the boss raised my salary to ten thousand yuan with a stroke of his pen. The salary
increase is exactly the same as the money I dealt with in the morning! This is ***ing.. I was sweating at that time, and I had an impulse to go out and ask my boss to resign.
But after much hesitation, I had to bite the bullet and signed my name on the labor contract.
Resigned, what do I eat, what do I wear, what do I take to prepare for the wedding with Xiaowen? It
was only now that I discovered that there are some “windfalls” that you can’t push away even if you want to. With a heavier
heart, I left the company in the afternoon. I tried to contact Wang Gang again to ask him if there was any other solution.
But the mobile phone can’t get through, and this boy has blacklisted me.
I was so angry that I shouted abuse and couldn’t help wanting to go to his house to find him, but then I thought, even if I found Wang Gang, what could I do?
In the final analysis, I can only blame myself for being too greedy.
In this way, I am more decadent, sitting on the curb for a long time, I do not know what to do next. After a while, I received a call from Xiaowen. On the
phone, her tone was very mysterious. She asked me to go home quickly and said that she had something very important to discuss with me.
I thought she woke up and found that the money in the drawer was missing, and she was going to ask me for punishment, but that’s not the case at all.
As soon as I arrived at the downstairs of the community, Xiaowen ran excitedly, pulled my arm and insisted on taking me to the parking lot behind the community.
I was so confused that I didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling until I went to the parking lot and found a red car parked there.
Xiaowen opened the door and asked me to sit in the cab to practice my hands.
I was stunned. “Whose car is this?”?
“Yours!” She winked at me and smiled all over her face, which was funny but so weird.
She said that seeing that I had worked so hard recently, she suddenly moved her mind and wanted to help me find an electric car instead of walking, just when a shop was drawing a lottery. On a whim
, Xiaowen decided to try her luck. She bought a raffle ticket for
this car with twenty yuan. When I registered the
new car, my name was also used, and I felt suffocated at that time.
Owning my own car has always been my dream, but I never thought it would come into my life in such a weird way.
Looking at the strange car, I became extremely angry and had an irresistible impulse to smash it! That’s what I thought, and that’s what I did. When I
got home, I went through boxes and cupboards like crazy, looking for wrenches and pipe wrenches all over the world.
“What are you doing?” Frightened by my appearance, Xiaowen suddenly opened her arms and stood in the doorway. She looked at me seriously and said, I don’t know why you smashed that car. I just want to tell you that I’m pregnant. Are you going to ride a battery car to take me to the delivery room in the future?
“You..” I looked at Xiaowen incredibly, silent for a long time, the anger in my heart gradually receded, I suddenly threw away the wrench, rushed up, hugged Xiaowen’s waist, crying like a child.
I don’t know how to describe my feelings. Maybe it’s because I’m going to be a father.
Now I need the money even more.
In order to earn enough money for the baby’s milk powder, I had to work harder and force myself not to think about the Buddha card.
Seeing me go out early and come back late all day long, with a haggard face, Xiaowen has become more sensible. When
sleeping, she would put her arms around my waist from behind and comfort me in a low voice, “Lin yuan, thank you for your hard work. I believe the birth of the baby will certainly bring us good luck.”.
“Mmm!” I nodded heavily and put my backhand around her waist, looking forward to the scene after the birth of the child.
Half a month later, I accompanied Xiaowen to the hospital for a pregnancy test. I
thought it was just a process, but after the prenatal examination, the doctor came to me with a strange expression and whispered that there were two fetuses in my wife’s stomach, one big and one small.
I was so excited. Could it be twins?
As a result, the doctor’s next words made me laugh in an instant. “I mean, one of the two fetuses in your wife’s belly is over three months old, and the other has just sprouted..” I was stupid in an instant.
Although I have not studied medicine, but the most basic common sense or some, a pregnant woman at the same time pregnant with two babies, can not be two or three months apart! Unless. One of the two fetuses was not conceived naturally.
I immediately thought of something and trembled all over.
The doctor was also very puzzled. Seeing that I was so frightened that I was convulsing, he quickly said, “Don’t worry first. Well, leave the pregnant woman here first, and we’ll have a review in two days.”?
I nodded numbly and turned to go to Xiaowen’s ward.
At this time, she did not know the results of the examination, she was leaning on the bed with a happy face, touching her stomach with both hands, and looking at me with very gentle eyes.
I wanted to kneel down to her slightly bulging abdomen and kowtow to beg for mercy.
At night, Xiaowen stayed in the hospital and went home with a heavy heart.
Because the mood was complicated and I drank some wine, I took advantage of the strength of the wine, smashed things at home crazily, shouted loudly, like a madman, tossing and turning until I had no strength, and then fell asleep on the floor.
The next day, I woke up with a hangover and looked at the wolves on the ground with a wry smile.
Last night was so crazy that the TV at home was smashed into a hole and the screen was broken, exposing several wires, all exposed to the outside.
In order to prevent electric shock, I had to run outside the door and pull the switch.
It was this unintentional act that led me to the source of my pain.
I pulled open the door of the distribution box and a sign fell out.
It was the Buddha card that I threw away with my own hands! Looking at the Buddha card at my feet, I jumped up like an electric shock and sat on the ground with my hands on the ground, moving my buttocks back crazily.
I was afraid for a long time, then suddenly calmed down and dared to pick up the Buddha card. The more I looked at it, the more strange it became. I don’t know why the crack on the
Buddha card has been filled. The repair marks
on it are obviously man-made. Who
could have done it?
Thinking for a long time, my mind suddenly jumped out of a name-Wang Gang.
Apart from Wang Gang, I can’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
But why did he repair the Buddha card for me and even secretly hide it in the distribution box of my house?
Countless questions flooded into my brain, prompting me to put the Buddha card in my hand and run to the place where Wang Gang lived with a livid face.
Knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
I do not know whether this boy is really not at home, or deliberately avoid me, immediately put a cross heart, a buttocks squatted in front of his house.
After waiting for quite a while, the elevator door in the corridor suddenly opened, and an old man in his sixties came out, holding the key in his hand and looking at me doubtfully. “Young man, why are you squatting at the door of my son’s house?”? Where is
Wang Gang? Is he at home?
I immediately got up and asked.
My son wasn’t at home. He said he had something to do temporarily and had to go to other places. I came to look after the house for him. Replied the
old man.
“Oh,” I said, full of bitterness. I shook my head and said it was all right. I was about to turn around and go out. But the old man suddenly stopped me and pointed to the Buddha card in my hand with a puzzled look on his face. “Isn’t this my son’s thing? Why is it in your hand?
“Hmm?”? My
heart suddenly missed a beat, and I looked back with my eyes wide open. Your son did too?
Yes, this thing has been in the living room by my son for almost two years. How could it be in your hands? The
old man’s next words made me gnash my teeth.
He said that the Buddha card was originally invited back from abroad by Wang Gang two years ago.
At first, the old man did not like this thing, has been advised Wang Gang to throw away the Buddha card, but Wang Gang refused to listen, but also scolded him as an old fool, saying that this thing can bless his fortune.
From then on, Wang Gang offered the Buddha tablets in his own home, burning incense in the morning and evening.
The old man saw that his son did not listen to advice, so he let him.
Until a few months ago, the old man happened to visit his son in the city and found that the Buddha card he had offered at home had disappeared, so he asked him what was going on?
Wang Gang was vague, saying only that he was tired of playing and had thrown it away.
At the time, I was wondering how I could throw away something that had been offered for two years?
I didn’t expect to find it in your hand.
The old man muttered to himself for a long time, but every word that fell in my ear was like an explosion of thunder.
I finally understood that two years ago, Wang Gang was worse than me and had been living on debt. How long
has it been? What kind of luck does he depend on?
There is no doubt that it depends on the transshipment effect of this Buddha card.
Over the years, he made a wish through the Buddha card, and I don’t know how many windfalls he made.
But the borrowed luck was always to be returned, and he didn’t want to return it himself, so he found me who was having bad luck.
I have absolute reason to believe that this grandson has transferred the Buddha card he used to me.
Through the ritual of “entering the spirit”, the debt that should have befallen him was transferred to me! Thinking of this, my fists, which were hidden behind me, were already clenched with blue veins.
But in the end, I resisted the urge to scold my mother and turned to a plan of revenge in my heart. When I
lit a cigarette, I used my greatest restraint to smile at the old man. “Uncle, Gangzi and I are good friends. Can we sit at home?”?
The old man obviously did not understand the inside of the door, very warmly invited me in. After
sitting down, I used an excuse to chat with him, deliberately directing the topic to Wang Gang. “By the way, uncle, Gangzi and I were both born in 1987. My birthday is June 28. He seems to be two months older than me, right?”?
The old man shook his head with a smile and said, “No, he was born in July, a few days younger than you.” In this way, I got the eight characters of Wang Gang’s birthday step by step.
Before I left, I had to urinate urgently and offered to use the bathroom.
Stepping into the bathroom, I took Wang Gang’s razor and strode away without the old man’s knowledge.
When no one was there, I first found a piece of paper and wrote down the eight characters of Wang Gang’s birthday. Then, with a cotton swab, I carefully sorted out the hair in the razor and burned it together with the eight characters of his birthday. It was Wang Gang who taught me
this method of “entering the spirit” for the Buddha. I can do anything
for my children.
After completing all the steps of entering the spirit, I turned back and stuffed the Buddha card into the distribution box of Wang Gang’s house. What goes around comes around! Afterwards, I was full of anxiety and took a taxi to the place where Xiaowen was hospitalized.
When I entered the hospital, the doctor who did the prenatal examination for Xiaowen was waiting for me.
Seeing me, she immediately hurried over and said to me with an apologetic look on her face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lin. The instrument was broken yesterday. I just checked it for your wife in the afternoon. She has only one fetus in her belly. It’s normal.”. Relieved,
I turned my back and said coldly, “It’s all right, as long as the baby is healthy..” It’s all over.
A few days later, I saw a news about Wang Gang on TV. It is ironic to
say that this boy is not only obsessed with Buddhist cards, but also superstitious about Feng Shui, digging a Feng Shui fish pond in his holiday cottage. On the day of
the accident, Wang Gang was feeding the fish, fell down when he got up, accidentally fell into the fish pond, and then never got up again.
When I saw the news on TV, I felt lonely for a long time.
I can only say that evil is rewarded with evil. After that, my life returned to normal.
Xiaowen’s suspicion has also been greatly improved. She is no longer suspicious all day. She is not worried about my contact with the opposite sex. Her personality is much more cheerful.
Seven months later, the baby was born smoothly.
It’s a baby boy, six catties! I was so happy that on the day of the full moon, I invited all my colleagues and decided to have a good time. Just as she was
drinking, Xiaowen did not know where to get a camera and said that she wanted to take more pictures of her children as a souvenir in the future.
I agreed with a smile.
Life is becoming more and more happy, and when I have nothing to do, I always turn out those photos and recall the lively scene when my son is one month old.
But as I watched, I began to break out in a cold sweat. How could my son look so much like the child on the Buddha card?
. Focus on not getting lost ~
