marry a ghost

The author has something to say: This article is divided into three relatively independent stories, each of which has some connection, a main thread runs through the entire article, and will end at the end.Summer is too hot, the sun is scorching, writing a ghost story to cool off the heat should not be regarded as scary, but mainly warm (==

When Wei Ning received a call from his mother, he was chatting with some friends at a night market stall.

He has been unlucky these days. First, after two years of dating, his girlfriend who has entered the process of discussing marriage suddenly kicked him and climbed to another branch.Regardless of the man's face and dignity, Wei Ning repeatedly begged his girlfriend to change her mind, but her girlfriend was hard-hearted and remained unmoved.In desperation, Wei Ning could only give up this difficult relationship.

The mountain is not just me, I come to the mountain, if it doesn't work, I can only clap my hands and let everything go with it.

This is the first unlucky thing, and the second thing is that he was fired from the company.After two years of hard work for the company, an old employee was resigned with the words "Now that the economy is in a downturn, the company has no choice but to lay off staff and cut costs."At the beginning, Wei Ning simply thought that this was the case, packed up his things and planned to fight again, but when he left the company gate, he received a call from a colleague, telling him, "You are stupid, I resigned because of the manager's The second brother-in-law is coming in."

When Wei Ning heard this, he became very angry.

So, that night, he invited a few friends and classmates from the same city to get together, and everyone chatted with each other, vomited their bitterness, and vented their sulk, so as not to suffocate themselves.This is the good thing between brothers, there will never be a shortage of people who stand on the same front as you.

Life is not easy. Only when you step out of school and step into the society do you know what it means to be involuntary and what it means to be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.When I was a student, my high spirits and ideals were all thrown into the waste paper pile, leaving only two words - survival.With the ability to survive, we can talk about other things.

Wei Ning is a college student from a small place. He has no foundation in this city. He works hard with his own hands, but his major is a bad one. The school is also a third-rate college that is not well-known. At best, he is diligent and honest, and at worst, he is introverted and unsociable. In short, his IQ is generally low in EQ, so he will always belong to the old scalper type in the workplace, doing more and getting less. Once something goes wrong, they will be blamed.

But even so, Wei Ning persisted.He firmly believes that there will always be a place for him in this city.

Since he came out of that Zhuangzi, he didn't plan to go back.

Wei Ning is 28 years old this year, and he is almost three years old. The only property he can get is a second-hand house with one bedroom and one living room that belongs to him at the edge of the city and has a monthly loan of [-].He treats this second-hand house as a treasure with care. All the decoration and furniture are carefully selected, and they must be in line with his own wishes.

This is his home, his den.

At that time, Wei Ning was a little drunk, and when he heard the phone ring, he took out the phone from his trouser pocket with shaking hands, put it next to his ear, and shouted with his tongue out, "Hey, who is it?" He heard the phone call from over there A gentle and loving voice said, "Ah Ning, it's Mom." Wei Ning covered his head, "Mom, what's the matter, you're still running out to make a phone call so late, aren't you afraid of falling?"

Wei Ning's hometown, Weizhuang, is a very backward place.Weizhuang is not big, and there are only more than 200 people in total. Only Wei Qiye, the village head of Weizhuang, has a telephone installed. Grandpa's house is relatively remote, and it takes one mile to walk from Wei Ning's house to Wei Qiye's house.In the middle of the night, when the lights are dark, Wei Ning is of course worried about his fucking safety.

Strange to say.Wei Ning was afraid that it would be inconvenient for his mother to find him, so he also told his mother that money is not a problem if he needs to connect a telephone line at home. Although his monthly salary is not very high, it is still completely affordable, but Wei Ning Mom disagreed, saying that it was a rule handed down by the old people, that these things should not be placed on Zhuangzi, and that bad Fengshui would scare ghosts and gods.

After hearing this, Wei Ning could only laugh or cry.

He, who has been educated in materialism for decades, certainly does not believe in these things.But his mother believed it, so he couldn't help it, he couldn't wring it out with his mother.

Wei Ning has always been responsive to his mother's requests, except for one thing - asking him to return to Weizhuang - other than this, everything else is easy to talk about.

This incident made Wei Ning's mother very sad, but Wei Ning insisted.He didn't know why, but he just wanted to stay far away from Wei Zhuang, and it would be best if he didn't have to set foot on that piece of land again in his life.When he was admitted to university, he walked out of Weizhuang without hesitation. His mother looked at his back, touched the old locust tree at the entrance of Zhuangzi and shed tears.After the city gained a little foothold, Wei Ning wanted to take his mother over several times, but his mother was unwilling, let alone take over, even if she was asked to go outside to relax, she would not agree.As time passed, Wei Ning knew that his mother was very stubborn on this point, so he didn't mention it again.

Wei Ning's mother whispered on the phone, "Ah Ning, come back when you are free these few days."

Hearing this, Wei Ning frowned.

This is a bit strange, his mother knows his temper, and has not mentioned the matter of returning to Weizhuang in front of him for several years, why did she suddenly bring it up this time?Wei Ning switched the earphones to the other side, and suppressed the impetuousness in his heart, "Mom, I have told you about this many times, and you also know that I can't go back. If you miss me, I am willing to pick you up at any time , even if you can’t come out, it’s okay to meet up in a nearby town.”

This is a compromise that Wei Ning came up with after much deliberation.

Wei Ning's mother cried softly over there, "Ah Ning, do you really want to come back to see mom after she dies?" Wei Ning rubbed his brows, feeling dizzy, "Mom, Don't force me." At this time, Wei Ning's mother's phone was suddenly taken away by the person next to him, and Wei Qiye's voice rang through the phone, "Wei Ning, your mother is half buried in the ground. , I’ve been sick again for a while, and I was lying in bed yesterday and couldn’t get up. I dragged myself to call you today, and I don’t know if it’s the last time. Is this how you are a child? Raising you for more than [-] years, you Is that what you did to your mother?"

A series of questioning hit Wei Ning's face and heart.

Wei Ning's brain, which had been anesthetized by alcohol, sobered up a lot in an instant. He listened to his mother's suppressed crying, "Master Qi, is my mother sick? When did it happen?"

"It's just these few days. I'm not talking about you. You never came back after you went out, and you left the old man at home. Wei Ning, I don't think you were such a wolf-hearted person when you were young. Why did you become like this when you grew up? , the colorful world outside is so good, it dazzles your eyes and makes you lose your own roots?"

Listening to Wei Qiye's reprimand, Wei Ning remained silent, but there was a pain in the depths of his eyes.

In the end, he shook his hands, as if he had made a last resort decision, gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "Qi Ye, don't talk about it, I just happen to be free these few days, and I'll come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow , my mother will drag you to take care of it first."

The phone was hung up hastily.

Wei Ning seemed to have experienced a fierce fight, his body was sweating like rain, and his face was pale and pale under the incandescent lights of the roadside stalls, like a ghost.When the friends around him saw that he had finally finished the phone call, they came over and asked him to continue to drink and eat barbecue. Wei Ning managed to cope with it, but he was out of his mind and obviously out of shape. These friends also knew each other well. Looking at him like this, he knew that he had something on his mind. Unless Wei Ning wanted to say it himself, he couldn't get it out of asking, so several people continued to chat and laugh, and then separated after a while.

Wei Ning went home and turned on the lights.The house with one bedroom and one living room is mainly decorated in warm beige, and the decoration is simple and warm.The floor lamp in the shape of a bamboo branch in the living room was bought by him and his girlfriend from a trip to the furniture store. Both of them were ordinary salaried workers with a small budget for decoration, so during that time, his girlfriend always dragged him to the building materials market, furniture market, etc. In the market, store comparison, shop around, be sure to find the cheapest and best one. Tired is a bit tired, but he has always been happy.

He always thought that this would be his and his girlfriend's new house, but unexpectedly, he was left alone in the end.

Wei Ning was overwhelmed with alcohol, lay down on the bed after washing up a bit, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he hit the pillow.Wei Ning had a dream, a very strange dream.In the dream, there was a dense fog, and he couldn’t see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand. He kept walking in the dense fog, but he couldn’t tell the direction. At this moment, a vague shadow appeared in front of him, and he hurried to catch up. "Hey, wait, you wait." But the shadow didn't hear it, Wei Ning chased it closer and closer, finally, he caught the shadow in front of him, "Hey, I'm calling you." He shouted angrily , the shadow slowly turned around——

"Ah—" Wei Ning screamed and woke up in shock.

He was out of breath, and he was groping around the bed with his hands. There was a bang, and the water glass on the bed hit the ground. Wei Ning was so startled by the crisp sound that he almost rolled off the bed. He touched himself with lingering fear. It scared my brother to death, but fortunately, this sound also called back his lost soul.

Wei Ning picked up the glass that fell on the ground, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one go.He tried to recall the dream that frightened him just now, but he couldn't remember what was the last thing he saw?What's so scary about that shadow?But Wei Ning vaguely felt that he was frightened not only because of the scary shadow, but also because of the faint familiarity of that shadow, but he couldn't remember anything when he tried to follow the familiarity.

There was a blank in the brain, only white mist filled it.

The next day, Wei Ning packed up his things and planned to rush back to Weizhuang.Weizhuang is not far from City B where he lives now. If he drives by himself, he will arrive there in about five or six hours. He told his friends yesterday that he wanted to go back to his hometown, and Yan Hua, who has the best relationship with him, took his own Wei Ning lent him the vacant car, and Wei Ning took it over without hesitation. Men love cars, even if they don't belong to them, it's good to drive them to enjoy themselves.

Wei Ning packed a car full of the things he bought and planned to take home, and then officially set off.
