[Soul Ferry] I see ghosts every day at work
Chapter 21: Soul Night
At night, several tables of good wine and food were set up in Xu's manor, entertaining relatives and friends of Mrs. Xu's past seven days.
After the meal, the relatives and friends dispersed, leaving only the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family and the "guests" they brought.
The people sat in the brightly lit front hall, talking in groups, and looked at other people from the corner of their eyes from time to time.
Zhao Li, Xia Dongqing and An Ming naturally got together and chatted while sitting near the window.Zhang Tianshi chose the place farthest from the three of them to sit, Xu Shuangjiao and her husband Ma Sheng naturally circled around Zhang Tianshi.
Among the three siblings, Xu Shuangqiang is the most restless. He looks fierce and looks like the boss of the underworld. He brings a group of subordinates who also look like gangster boys. A group of people occupy the largest table in the living room, playing cards and smoking cigarettes. Yelling, making a miasma.
The "three-legged confrontation" situation in the living room lasted for about two hours, and it was almost midnight. Everyone had passed their initial energy, and they all leaned back on their chairs, yawning, and drinking tea to refresh themselves. .
The only two people in the living room who still maintained their demeanor were An Ming and Zhao Li. Zhao Li was very happy to inquire about the purpose of An Ming's visit to the Xu Family Manor, and An Ming was also tirelessly practicing Tai Chi with Zhao Li. Xia Dongqing, who was watching the two of them openly and secretly, finally couldn't help but fell asleep leaning on Zhao Li when the two repeated the same topic for the third time...
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the grandfather clock rang on time, and the sound of "dang-dang-dang--" shocked everyone in the room and refreshed them.
After the twelve knocks, the lights in the room suddenly became dim, and then the fluorescent lamps began to flicker and flicker, and finally they were all extinguished at once.
The people in the room suddenly went from refreshed to frightened, and they didn't dare to make a sound and kept their postures motionless.
The whole room was silent for about two or three minutes, but nothing happened.
At this time, Xu Shuangqiang suddenly patted the table and stood up: "MD, what a broken place, there is a power outage at night! Faber! Where is Faber? Hurry up and find someone to repair the light!"
With a domineering roar, Xu Shuangqiang dispelled all the terrifying aura in the room. Everyone checked the surrounding situation by themselves through the moonlight shining into the room, and continued to whisper to each other.
Xia Dongqing squinted her eyes and looked around the room. Based on his years of experience in encountering ghosts, the ghost of Mrs. Xu might have returned.
Zhao Li and An Ming exchanged a look in tacit understanding. They never doubted that Mr. Xu's ghost would come back in the first seven meetings.
Sure enough, Xu Shuangjiao's exclamation was heard after a while, and then, the sound of the cup and chair falling to the ground came from where Xu Shuangjiao was sitting, mixed with Xu Shuangjiao's trembling female voice: "Dad? Is...is it you? Are you?" ……you are back?"
All eyes were on Xu Shuangjiao. Under the hazy moonlight, an old man in a shroud appeared in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, which made everyone gasp involuntarily.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Xu Shuanghui and Xu Shuangqiang rushed to Xu Shuangjiao's side at the same time, looking at the ghost of the old man with horror and longing, wanting to approach but not daring to approach.
But the ghost of the old man didn't move at all, the statue stood there like a statue, as if it didn't see the three children in front of it.
Xia Dongqing watched the old ghost appearing in front of everyone and slowly frowned. In the past, he was the only one who saw ghosts, but this time he had to "share" such a special experience with so many people at once, which made him a little awkward , and made his uneasiness even more intense.
At this time, Zhao Li silently stood in front of him, blocking him behind him, with the attitude of a protector: "Xia Dongqing, listen carefully, no matter what happens later, you are not allowed to meddle in other people's business. Remember?"
Xia Dongqing blinked, not knowing whether to agree or refute: "I..."
At this time, the three brothers of the Xu family began to call for Mrs. Xu eagerly again. Mr. Xu Lai seemed to have finally noticed the three children in front of him this time, and looked at them one by one with a blank expression.
Seeing that the old man finally looked at them, the three siblings of the Xu family opened their mouths at the same time——
"Dad, where did you put your will?"
"Dad, tell me where is your will?"
"Old man, quickly hand over your will!"
Regarding the matter of Old Master Xu's will, we have to look back to the day when Old Master Xu died.
Mrs. Xu died in the old house. Lawyer Zhou, the legal advisor of the Xu family, appeared in front of the three siblings and told them that Mrs. Xu had a will before him. If one day he died, the three children of the Xu family did not find him within a week In the will in the old house, all the properties of the Xu family except the Xu Group will be donated to charity for free. On the contrary, if the will hidden in the old house is found, then all the properties of the Xu family will be given to the person who found the will Children inherit.
When the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family heard the will brought by lawyer Zhou, their grief at losing their father instantly turned into confusion and anger at his father.
The Xu family has a deep foundation, and the industry for many years is not a small sum. Although the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family all work in the Xu family group, if all the other properties of the Xu family are donated, leaving the Xu group alone is like a poor commander. It must be badly hurt.
And if the will is found, although the Xu family's property will not fall into the hands of outsiders, if it falls into the hands of only one child, the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family will certainly not be able to live in harmony in the future. In the future, it will be difficult for the generation of the Xu family to prosper and unite no matter what.
As soon as the Xu family's third sister and brother spoke, Xia Dongqing knew that An Ming had lied to him. Although he had been warned by Zhao Li before, he was still very hurt when the truth came before him. After all, he had trusted An Ming so much.
"An Ming, I have always regarded you as a friend. If there is anything you need from me, just say it. I owe you a favor. I will not refuse what you want me to do. You don't need to lie to me at all."
In the darkness, An Ming heard Xia Dongqing whispering to him, but neither of them could see each other's expressions.He lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, approached Xia Dongqing, and whispered to him: "Okay, little Dongqing, remember your words, the favor you owe, I will definitely come back this time."
The two whispered to each other, but there was movement on the old master Xu's side.
After hearing the questions from the three children, Mrs. Xu really responded, looked in the direction of the door, and slowly drifted past.
All the people in the room made a way for Mr. Xu, and let Mr. Xu's ghost float out of the house.
The Xu family's three siblings hurriedly followed, and everyone else in the room also followed.
The final destination of Mrs. Xu is the old house of the Xu family.The Xu family's old house is located behind the Xu's manor, separated by a river. It is a two-story old building, which was renovated by Xu Shuanghui for maintenance.
There was no one in the Xu family's old house after Mrs. Xu passed away.At this time, in the middle of the night, following a ghost into an empty house, even a vicious old man like Xu Shuangqiang couldn't stop the cold from running down his back.
Grandpa Xu floated all the way into the courtyard of the old house, stood under the plaque hanging at the entrance of the main hall, then stabilized his figure, turned around to look at the three children following him, and then his figure gradually faded until he disappeared.
The sudden disappearance of Mrs. Xu caused the three children to scream again, and the voices of men and women echoed in the empty house, adding to the creepiness, which made the three brothers of the Xu family dare not continue screaming.
However, Li Zhao and An Ming looked at the veranda on the right side of the patio at the same time, where the ghost of Mrs. Xu who had just disappeared before everyone's eyes was standing there with a young man.
Zhao Li put his index and middle fingers together and made a gesture in the direction of the young man.After the young man saw it, he nodded slightly, took old master Xu's arm and left.
Xia Dongqing followed Zhao Li and An Ming's line of sight, just in time to see the back of the young man leading Mr. Xu away. He approached Zhao Li and asked him in a low voice, "Is that ghost messenger responsible for the soul ferry of Mr. Xu?"
"Yes." Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief slowly, "Old man Xu's ghost has been taken away, his first seven days are over, and what happens after the Xu family has nothing to do with you. Let's go." Although Zhao Li was telling Xia Dongqing, it seemed that he was speaking for An Ming.
An Ming naturally knew Zhao Li's intentions, chuckled, and stood in front of Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, although Old Master Xu's first seven years are over, the favor owed to me by Xiao Dongqing has not yet been repaid." Give it to me."
