Chapter Forty-Fifth: The Sixth
Dong Agen knew that his son had been frugal since he was a child and would not keep much except for a few changes of clothes. However, this box was unusually large. Dong Agen remembered that his son did not have such a box when he first went to the new city, but he did not.
In my heart, I just thought that my son made it himself later, but the box was very heavy, and I didn't know what the always frugal son put in it.
Judging from the boss's attitude towards his son's funeral, he is considered a kind person and would not casually open the discount box to look at a dead person's relics. Dong Agen also became curious and fumbled around, only to find that the box had been covered with a big mouthful.
The lock was locked, and the boss didn't give him the key. Maybe Dong Agen's son dropped it on the ground. Dong Agen gritted his teeth, found a tool, pried open the box with great effort, and reached into the box.
When Dong Agen told this, his tone was light, as if he was telling someone else's story, but when he said this, I noticed that his body couldn't help but tremble, and I hurriedly asked: "What's in the box?"
Dong Agen slowly turned his head and "looked" at me. The penetrating whites of his eyes frightened me even more under the candlelight. However, Dong Agen was still desperately trying to open his eyes wide, as if he wanted to see me clearly in front of him.
, he said: "There are coffins inside, so many coffins!"
My heart that had just calmed down was suddenly tightened again, and I asked: "What kind of coffin?"
Dong Agen said: "They are small coffins. I shook them and found something hidden in each coffin."
My heart was about to jump out of my chest. I vaguely thought I had discovered something. I held my breath and asked, "What is inside?"
Dong Agen reached out and took out something from his close-fitting clothes and handed it to me. I took it and my whole body felt like falling into an ice cave. I guessed it right. The thing in the coffin was a jade pendant. The jade pendant in my hand was a bright red peony.
Like blood, bright and dripping.
What really scares me is not seeing this jade pendant. I think of what Dong Agen's son said to me: "There are still a lot of things that have not been put away. I have to go to work." I never understood what he said.
What does that mean? But now I think I understand. The small black coffin in the wall of my house was probably put in by Dong Agen’s son. No one is more likely to do tricks on a construction site than a migrant worker. As for him,
Why is this done? Where do these coffins come from? Needless to say, it must have something to do with the Dream Club.
What scares me is that I suddenly thought of a possibility. Dong Agen’s son often works two jobs at the same time, and there are many small coffins in the box. Plus what he said to me, I can be sure that he
Such a small coffin has been placed in many places. Because of this coffin, I saw all kinds of strange things in my room that scared me. So can others see it too? They saw it again.
What? I thought again of the letter recording Lao Chu’s story. The migrant worker in the letter said: “What did you see?”
I was not only scared, but also a little confused. I just saw someone I shouldn’t have seen: Dong Agen’s son. If there really is a ghost in the world, if everything is true, then the migrant worker that Lao Chu saw
He should be Dong Agen's son, but Chu Jiangshan was already dead at that time. How could he know what was going to happen in the future? And he seemed to be afraid that people would not know the truth, so he even wrote the whole story in the form of a novel in advance.
What is his purpose in doing this?
Perhaps my only choice at the moment was to continue listening to Dong Agen. I asked, "Where's that big box?"
Dong Agen said: "It was taken away.
I was surprised: "Who took it away?"
Dong Agen said: "A woman, a very old woman.
After Dong Agen came out of the hospital, in addition to looking at his son's relics, he also went to the cemetery to stay in front of his son's grave. Although he is blind, he has a good memory. Someone took him there once and he remembered the location of his son's grave.
.That evening, he was sitting alone in front of the tomb talking to his son when he suddenly heard an old woman's voice coming from beside him: "Do you want to see your son again?"
Dong Agen was startled by the sudden sound. He couldn't see but had good ears, but he didn't hear this person's footsteps. Although he said he was talking and didn't pay attention, this woman's arrival was too strange.
A little bit, especially this sentence that came out of nowhere.
But Dong Agen couldn't care so much. He was already an old man anyway. After his son left, he felt that life was boring. So when he heard this sentence, although he felt a little incredible, he immediately asked: "What can you do?
"
The woman said: "Give me that box."
Dong Agen was startled: "What box?"
The old woman sighed and said: "Give me the box full of small coffins, and then I will teach you how to see your son. You prepare the box first, and I will come to your place to find you in the evening.
.”
Dong Agen said hurriedly: "How do you know there is that box? Who are you?"
After a while, the old woman had already walked away, and only a voice came from afar: "Because I gave him that box."
Dong Agen heard the woman walking away, remembered what she said, and no longer wanted to stay in front of his son's tomb. He hurriedly cleaned up and hurried back. When he walked to the door of the cemetery management office, he couldn't help but ask the gatekeeper if he had seen it just now.
An old woman went in.
Dong Agen would come to his son's tomb to cry almost every day. The old man who was the gatekeeper was already very familiar with him. When he asked about it, he simply told him that he had been guarding the door and had not seen anyone at all.
After going in, he asked Dong Agen to pay attention to his rest in a very caring manner at the end. The implication was that he was probably hallucinating because he missed his son too much.
Dong Agen knew that all this was not an illusion, but he didn't know why the old man at the door didn't see such a person entering. Recalling that the woman came and went silently, he shuddered in his heart and thought: "I have seen a ghost."
". When I got home, I waited until very late in fear. I didn't see the woman coming to get anything. Dong Agen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a trace of regret, because he really wanted to see his son again, even though he clearly wanted to see his son again.
I know this idea is too ridiculous, but what if that old woman is really a ghost?
Dong Agen was thinking wildly by himself, and the clock rang loudly. It was twelve o'clock in the evening. Dong Agen stood up and prepared to go to bed. At this moment, there were suddenly several "dong dong dong" sounds and someone knocked on the door.
The knocking on the door was neither urgent nor slow, and there was no pause. It was just such a regular sound. It seemed that the sound would continue like this unless the person inside opened the door. Dong Agen's heart, which had been relaxed, immediately became tense again.
, gritted his teeth, and finally opened the door.
Blind people's senses are very sensitive, but now he couldn't feel that there was anyone in front of him. Dong Agen's heart immediately became frightened, and he asked cautiously: "Where are you?"
At this time, Dong Agen suddenly felt that there was another person behind him, and he couldn't help being startled. He was blocking the door. It was impossible for the other person to bypass him and walk into the house. The only possibility was that the other person was not a human. Dong Agen
He was so nervous that his whole body began to tremble, and he asked: "Who are you?"
I was also made nervous by Dong Agen’s story. I couldn’t wait to ask him before he could speak: “Who is she?”
Dong Agen shook his head: "She didn't say anything, she just took away the box and asked me to do what she said. She said that as long as I did a good job, I could see my son."
I asked curiously: "What did she ask you to do?"
Dong Agen said: "She asked me to help everyone convey some words to some people they will never see again."
This sentence is a bit awkward. I thought about it for a while and finally figured out that it was the so-called psychic. I don’t really believe in these. Even if I just met Dong Agen’s son, I couldn’t change my mind. But I don’t know how to tell Dong Agen.
So, he said: "That's it? How can you communicate with those who have died? And why do you believe what she says?"
Dong Agen shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this. All you need to know is that I can do it. Moreover, she doesn't allow me to receive any compensation. There is only one requirement."
I hurriedly asked: "What's the request?"
Dong Agen said something that I am very familiar with: "If you want to know what others don't know, you have to exchange it for something that cannot be known by others." This is not the first time I heard him say it, but it was the first time.
I have no idea what he is talking about. Now looking at the stack of paper in front of me, and thinking about the young woman just now, I think I finally understand. The so-called request is to exchange one of your secrets for the deceased.
Opportunity to spread the word.
I looked at the papers in front of me and wondered how I felt. It turned out that the things recorded on these papers came from this way. After thinking about it, I asked: "What if someone makes up some random story to deceive you?"
Dong Agen chuckled and said, "You can try it."
I laughed a few times guiltily. I don’t know why, even though I didn’t believe this, I was always afraid for no reason, so I quickly changed the subject and asked, “What happened next?”
Dong Agen said: "She left later. I asked her who she was and why she wanted to find me. She only said one sentence."
I asked nervously: "What are you talking about?"
The expression on Dong Agen's face also changed, and he seemed to be thinking about the meaning of that sentence. After a while, he said: "She said, 'You are the first, but your son is not the first.'"
