Chapter 73

The old man Xing Ye, who was chatting with me, called himself the chairman of Ermian employee dormitory. In fact, he didn't care about any employee, just him.

At around 7 o'clock, Mr. Bai was buried. Mr. Bai Weiqiong's father bought a good cigarette for a few of us who carried the coffin and worked hard. I had cigarettes, so I gave the cigarette to the old man. The old man was so happy that he praised me a few times and said that I was sensible.

"Are you free tonight?" Bai Weiqiong suddenly asked me.

"I...I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"My dad has to do something else. I want to guard the grave for my grandfather tonight. Are you free tonight? Can you accompany me?"

Bai Zhiqiong's tone sounded unchanged, but I could feel the loneliness in her heart.

I dare not think about the relatives of my generation. If my grandmother leaves one day, how will I face myself? If my grandmother leaves, I will have no relatives in this world.

"No problem, I'll be here to accompany you tonight. The old man has just set out on the road, so it's time for you to keep your grave and be filial."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

I have seen many dead people. I have no big deal about Wang Xiaoqin hanging herself on a pear tree decades ago. If something really happened, there would be no one living in Ermian dormitory. It is probably all the rumors.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, all the wreaths in the mourning hall in the old community were moved in, and a pair of golden boys and jade girls were brought in by Manager Niu.

The paper man stood there one left and one right, and a fire broke out in front of the new gravestone, and a large amount of paper money and gold ingots were contained in a plastic bag next to it.

The old man Xing said that the factory road that passed by wasteland was called Yinyang Road. He stood there at night and looked at the grave. He could see two red-faced paper men standing in front of the tombstone, keeping their posture motionless, and occasionally swaying back and forth when the wind blows.

At night, I brought stones to sit next to the fire and chatted with Bai Weiqiong.

She looked at the tombstone and talked about a lot of the old man's deeds before his life, saying how he started from scratch, how he saved people from the flood in 1998, etc.

It is a taboo to keep a grave and talk about the owner's name. I have a response without any problems. I want to quickly change the topic and talk about it with some relaxation.

At this moment, I received a text message on my phone, which was sent by Tian Sanjiu.

"What I'm waiting for is here, and I'll start working hard at 1:30 tonight."

Seeing that Bai Weiqiong was concentrating on burning paper, I quickly typed and replied to the text message.

"At 1:30 tonight? What did you wait for? What work did you do?"

The text message was sent, and after a minute or two I received a reply from Tian Sanjiu.

"At 1:30, the decoration workers in the North Factory were asleep. According to the results of my investigation, the Iron Buddha on the cotton cart did not leave the Second Factory. Only Tang Xin and Wang Xiaoqin of the Science and Technology Committee knew where they were. I'll forget it, it should be these two places."

"Around the pear trees, around a large warehouse in the south factory."

I'll go back.

"You are planning to dig at this time? What did you do two days ago? Also, Bai Weiqiong guards her grandfather's grave tonight. How can we dig it?"

Tian Sanjiu replied.

"I said that I was waiting for something to arrive before. If I don't have this thing, you can't find the Iron Buddha. You can solve the problem of the Bai family's daughter by yourself. Let her leave before one point, or do it my way."

"Who are you talking to?"

Seeing that I kept pressing my phone to type, Bai Zhiqiong asked.

"Oh, I didn't have anyone with me, just a friend asked me where I was tonight."

"You have to have something to leave, don't stay with me."

"It's okay, it's really okay."

I smiled, and at the same time I was thinking in my heart what method to use to get her back.

Because Tian Sanjiu said he would come to dig wasteland to find iron Buddha in the evening.

It is still very cold in the evening of the first month, and the fire burning paper money does not work much. It is very dark around it. The cold air is drilling straight into your neck, and occasionally there will be a gust of cold wind. The burned paper money will be blown up and scattered in the air of the wasteland.

I sat until after ten o'clock, and I couldn't help but stand up and rub my hands and said, "Boss Bai, it's so cold this day. Don't keep guarding you. Go back early. If you are freezing, your grandfather will definitely be unhappy when he finds out."

She didn't even wear gloves, and her hands were so cold that they were red. She just said that I was fine, and that I would still be guarding my grandfather even if I was frozen to death.

I rubbed my face hard, and suddenly pointed to the pear tree in front of me and said, "Boss Bai, did you see it just now? There was a woman wandering under the tree, with long hair and white clothes, and seemed to be sticking out her tongue. Is it possible that she was the Wang Xiaoqin in the factory before?"

"You don't have to scare me, I'm not afraid," she turned on the flashlight and shone it at the pear tree twice, saying nothing.

I said stubbornly, "Why aren't there? Just under the tree, I just saw a figure, give me the flashlight."

"Did you see it there? It's dark."

I pointed it at her according to the pear tree.

Bai Zhiqiong shook her head: "That's the shadow of the tree. There are no leaves on the pear trees in winter, and the shadow of the branches is like that, and it doesn't look like a human figure."

I removed the flashlight and shone around.

The flashlight accidentally hit the male paper man, and the paper man's face was flushed and blushed, which looked a little weird.

Sudden....

The paper man's head turned.

I just used a flashlight to make it look like that, absolutely nothing was dazzled.

My face turned pale.

"I think I'm here. There's something going on tomorrow, so I'll leave first." I turned around and was about to leave.

I didn't see it alone, Bai Weiqiong must have seen it too.

"Wait...wait for me."

I walked faster and faster under my feet, and I didn't dare to turn my head back.

Walking to the small road in the factory, Bai Zhiqiong ran away with breath and said, "I... Did I get dazzled just now? The paper man seemed to have his neck turned."

"Don't say..." I swallowed.

"Don't talk nonsense about some things. Go back to bed now and don't think about anything when you go back."

Bai Zhiqiong's face turned pale. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to go back. After all, she was a girl.

"You won't leave? Go back in my car."

I said, don't worry about me, don't give me flashlight, you go first.

After Bai Weiqiong left, I shone the flashlight on the light and picked up a stone and smashed it at the paper man standing on the grave.

The first two times I missed it, and the third time I happened to hit it, knocking the standing paper man down. I pretended to be brave and walked closer.

The paper man fell to the ground, with his body facing away from me.

My flashlight shook back and forth.

Suddenly, the paper head moved again, looking at it, as if he wanted to turn his face.

"My grass!"

I was so scared that I stepped back and turned around and ran away with a flashlight.

"Master Xing!Master Xing!"

I ran downstairs to the dormitory building and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The room was dark and a sound came.

"I! Open the door quickly!"

The lights were on in the room and the door opened a few minutes later.

The old man came out wearing plush cotton slippers and a coat.

"It's you, what's wrong? If you don't go back to sleep at night, why are you looking for me?"

I looked back at the wasteland in fear.

Bai Weiqiong left, and the fire burned the paper money was getting smaller and smaller.

I jumped into the house.

The room was very warm, and the small stove burning honeycomb coal burned red. It was a water-covered fire, and the water from the heating boiled, and the gurgling kept ringing.

The old man stood outside the house and looked around, then wrapped his coat tightly, entered the house and closed the door.

"What's wrong, it's past 11 o'clock. Why are you running away from me? I just went to bed."

I sat on the bench and roasted the fire, swallowed and said, "Hazed, haunted in the wasteland."

"Haunted?"

The old man put on his long-lasting pants and lit a cigarette and took a sip.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? Tell me what's going on."

"Paper man...paper man moved..."

The old man yawned, "Are you talking about paper?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, it's just paper-breaking, Master Xing, is it Wang Xiaoqin's ghost attached to the paper man?"

"Boy, you can really scare yourself."

"Wang Xiaoqin has been dead for decades, and I have lived in Ermian for decades. Why haven't I seen Wang Xiaoqin once? I have to forget what she looks like."

"I have braids and a flowery cotton jacket with wheat skin. It's so tall. When I come to me, I compare myself to my height.

"Have you seen Wang Xiaoqin?" The old man looked a little surprised.

I shook my head and said I had never seen it before. After thinking about it, I said I had seen the photos.

At this time, the old man smiled and said, "Look at your cowardly look, are you carrying a handful? Now take a stick and follow me."

“Where to go?”

The old man held a cigarette in his mouth, he tied the buttons of his coat one by one and said, "Where did you say you would go?"
