This is not a weird story

The middle-aged man in his forties and his wife beside him looked shocked.

The man immediately grabbed Wei An's shoulders and said with some excitement: "This...this gentleman, how do you know...know that my dad has never closed his eyes?!"

Wei An pretended to be inscrutable and did not answer for the time being.

The man's wife also hurriedly said: "It's not that we want my dad to be like this. We have tried every means, but he keeps his eyes open and won't close them no matter what he does."

"I said just use glue to stick it..."

The young man who seemed to be the grandson of the old man spoke at this time, but was immediately severely interrupted by the middle-aged man, "Shut up, you bastard!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Wei An again, "Sir, since you can see it, can you please think of a way to let the old man close his eyes and leave peacefully."

"Yes, please!" His wife also clasped her hands and said, "We have nothing to do now. We have just prepared to cremate the old man."

Wei An nodded and said, "In this case, you go and wait outside first. I won't touch the old man's body, but I can help you find the reason why he refuses to die in peace."

"You..." the middle-aged man hesitated: "How to find it?"

Wei An looked down at the body and replied, "Ask him directly."

"ah!"

The family of three, including the other family members standing next to them, were all stunned. They all looked at the body in horror, and then at Wei An.

"To be honest, even the staff at the crematorium will not tell you my identity. I am a ferryman for the dead." Wei An said: "What I am doing now seems unbelievable to you. In fact, I often come into contact with... You just need to wait outside the door and don't come near, I will notify you immediately after the matter is completed."

"Hmm, okay, then... let's go out first, let's go out first!"

The middle-aged man nodded heavily, immediately called his relatives and friends to leave the morgue quickly, and cast a grateful look at Wei An.

"If it's my old man's turn to be cremated, we will also ask the staff to wait, don't worry." He went out last, said a word to Wei An and closed the door.

At this time, Wei An, the old man and the burnt corpse were the only ones left in the morgue.

After the door was closed, Wei An waited for a moment and then resumed the posture he had seen the ghost in before. He looked back from between his legs and turned around, and saw that the old man's ghost guarding the corpse was still squatting as before. On the ground, about two or three meters away from him, he just looked at himself.

His eyes were so wide that it felt like they were about to bulge out.

But it didn't come any closer.

Wei An spoke softly: "I can fulfill your last wish for you, as long as you tell me, no matter what method you use."

After waiting for a moment, the other party showed no reaction as before.

"Are you worried about your son and grandson?" Wei An asked.

The old man was indifferent.

"Is that what you were doing before you were alive? Haven't you finished it yet?" Wei An continued to guess.

The old man showed no reaction.

Wei An thought quickly. He had just heard the family talk about the old man's life, and knew that he had worked hard all his life and had never been able to enjoy ease for his family.

So could his last wish be related to this regret?

From the looks of it, without other souls, the corpse-guarding soul may not take the initiative to express what he means, so now even if he asks the other party a hundred times, Wei An will not get the answer. He needs to find it out by himself.

"Is it because you are dissatisfied with the shroud you are wearing? Because you didn't have good clothes to wear before you were alive?" Wei An asked.

The old man still said nothing.

Wei An thought for a moment, "Or do you want to have a full meal?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wei An felt that this guess was impossible, because in today's society, even if he did not enjoy happiness during his lifetime and worked hard all his life, he would not be unable to even have a full meal, unless he was abused by his children and grandchildren.

But looking at the way the couple cared about the old man just now, it was impossible for them to abuse the old man. At most, they failed to care and take care of him better and ignored what the old man really wanted.

When Wei An was about to continue asking for other guesses, he was suddenly surprised to find that the old man nodded slightly.

"You...you want to have a full meal?" Vianchi asked.

The old man shook his head again.

Wei An frowned and said word by word: "Is your last wish related to eating?"

Outside the morgue door.

When the staff came over and asked the Liu family to push the old man to the cremation room for cremation, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and said: "I'm sorry, you also know that my father has not closed his eyes. There are people working inside now, waiting for my father." After closing your eyes, you will be cremated immediately.”

The staff member was stunned for a moment. He had also heard that there was a corpse that he couldn't close his eyes in the past few days.

The embalmer at the crematorium was also called to try, but even if he rubbed the head, neck, shoulders and other parts of the corpse, he still couldn't make the old man rest in peace.

Now the Liu family has no choice. Although they are filled with regrets, they are ready to be cremated directly.

Now suddenly someone asked the old man to close his eyes in the morgue. The staff immediately asked: "Is this the person you invited?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "He said he was a ferryman."

The staff member looked surprised: "Ferryman?"

"Yes." The young man, the grandson of the Liu family, said, "You should know him. He is a very powerful man. He said he can help us fulfill grandpa's last wish so that he can close his eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the morgue suddenly opened, and Wei An's head popped out and asked the middle-aged man of the Liu family: "You didn't even give the old man a bowl of food until he was cremated?"

Everyone in the Liu family was startled, and the middle-aged man shook his head first: "No, no, our family, including my father, are not locals. There is a custom of feeding the dead here, but we don't have it in our hometown, so we follow the custom of our hometown. , and did not provide food for dad."

Wei An sighed and said, "Hurry up and give the old man a bowl of rice before he is cremated. I want better rice."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" The middle-aged man looked horrified, nodded immediately, took out his phone and started calling, while running outside.

His wife said from the side: "How could this happen? We followed the custom of our hometown, so we didn't provide food. I didn't expect that dad would always mind this?!"

Wei An said: "As the locals do, the old man has stayed in this city for a long time and has naturally recognized the customs here, so he is not exempt from the customs. What's more, he has worked hard for so long in his life. In the end, he just wants to eat well and wear well. And this is his last meal in this world, so the old man can't rest in peace."

"That's it." Everyone suddenly realized.

The staff member was stunned and speechless. He approached Wei An and asked, "Excuse me, are you..."

"You don't know me, and you don't need to know me." Wei An had already seen the work clothes he was wearing, paused, and said slowly with a mysterious tone: "I'm just a ferryman of the undead."

Less than half an hour later, a bowl of exquisite rice was carefully carried in by the middle-aged man with both hands. In the bowl was white rice with clear and plump grains, and in the middle of the rice was a ripe big red date.

This is the custom of serving rice in this city, and behind the big red dates, a pair of chopsticks are inserted straight down into the rice.

Everyone rushed to the morgue and stood next to Mr. Liu's body. The middle-aged man placed the meal at the old man's feet, then took out a red candle from his pocket, lit it and placed the candle behind the meal.

Immediately, all the descendants of the Liu family knelt down beside the old man's body, and followed the middle-aged man to respectfully kowtow to the body three times.

After standing up, the middle-aged man, his wife and children quickly walked over to his father's body and took a look. They saw that the old man's eyes had always been wide open. At this moment, his eyelids became soft, and they slowly closed after about ten seconds.

"Close it! Dad's eyes are closed!" When the middle-aged man saw this, he was immediately excited.

Not long after, many relatives began to secretly wipe away tears. The middle-aged man knelt on the ground again, kowtowed to the old man's body several times, and said frankly that he was sorry for his father.

When they came to their senses, the family of three stood up with support and walked towards Wei An.
