Chapter 377 New Year's Day Dessert (Thirteen)
Lin Fei opened his mouth, and the officer who was gasping for breath realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Lin Shaoqing, I'm the one waiting."
Lin Fei did not point to the end as before, but paused, and said: "There are quite a few cases of pretending to be ghosts, and you should know that disaster comes from your mouth!"
The voice was harsh, obviously driven by anger, and the officer quickly bowed his head again to admit his mistake.
If he repeatedly admitted his mistake, Lin Fei still didn't stop, but turned his head and asked the pale Tangyuan beside him: "Have you been to other places since Master Wen came here?"
Tang Yuan came back to his senses.
In the past, they had seen the suffering of the people involved in such cases when they handled such pretentious cases.
When I was an outsider, I couldn’t bear to see the people involved in the case, but now if this kind of thing really happened to me...
Tang Yuan knew that something like this needs to be explained as soon as possible, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, and didn't dare to hide it, so she hurriedly said: "Master Wen came directly from the door to the mourning hall. I hugged her and cried for a while, and then led She went to worship in the mourning hall. I was the first to worship, and Master Wen was the second. After the worship, Master Wen was in a bad mood, as if he was stunned. I thought something was wrong with her, so I called She called, but Master Wen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his own neck, I was frightened, and I called out, and you came over."
It was very detailed from the beginning to the end. Wen Mingtang has never been to other places since he came here, and the only thing he has touched is glutinous rice balls.
Lin Fei gave a "hmm" and said to Tangyuan, "Take me to the mourning hall." As he spoke, he stepped forward and followed behind Tangyuan.
It’s not that they don’t know the way to the mourning hall, Tangyuan’s house also has such a big place! But if Lin Fei wanted to follow like this, others would not be able to say much.
A Bing, who was originally beside Tangyuan, was even squeezed behind Lin Fei, and the group of people followed Tangyuan into the mourning hall in turn.
In the mourning hall, there is such a large space, white cloth, paper money, candles, braziers and other things are also common things in mourning.
The air was filled with the smell of burning joss sticks. Everyone stood in the hall, looked around, and looked around, but didn't see anything special.
Just then, several women came in from outside.
When Tangyuan saw those women, she called "Auntie" and "Sister-in-law" a few times. In the past few days, these things were all helped by some warm-hearted neighbors.
As long as I'm free during the day, I'll come over to have a look, to help out or something.
Seeing the people from Dali Temple coming, the women also called out to the adults a few times, bowed slightly, saluted indiscriminately, and then began to work diligently.
Some helped paper-cut money, some helped burn paper and exchange incense candles, and some raised brooms to help clean.
The burnt confetti and the ashes of the incense candles were blown by the wind, and they were scattered everywhere. The house needs to be cleaned from time to time.
Suddenly there were a few more women in the originally small room, and it was suddenly crowded.
The guard looked at Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, do you want to quit for now?"
I just took a look around and didn't see anything special. Master Wen didn't eat anything since he called over. If he really got tricked by someone, maybe he met him outside, and he will know when the doctor arrives.
Lin Fei turned around when he heard the words, and seeing this movement, everyone thought he was about to withdraw, so they turned around and prepared to walk out.
The woman hurriedly said "Oh" when she heard the words, and said, "It's because I didn't clean it up. A mouse came here yesterday. After the mouse died, I washed it with water several times, but I didn't clean it up."
Tangyuan couldn't help being surprised when she heard the words: "Auntie, why didn't I know this?"
"It happened during dinner last night." The woman said, pointing to A Bing who was beside her, and said, "You two went to the kitchen to eat, and I saw that mouse jumping up and down, hopping on the ground like It's like stealing wine and eating. I wanted to call someone to stop the mouse, but the clinker jumped for a while, and the mouse died by itself, so I took it away and cleaned it. At that time, I thought that since I was a child, I was most afraid of mice. I didn’t say anything, so as not to scare you.”
It turned out to be the reason! Tangyuan was stunned, and said to the woman: "Thank you, Auntie!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Fei asked the women: "Did you just replace this candle this morning?" He was pointing at the pair of candles on the altar that had just been burned.
Tang Yuan nodded and said, "The candle was burnt out this morning, so I just replaced it." As he spoke, he pointed to the candle he bought on a plate beside him.
The things needed for funerals are all bought from the street and placed here.
"Don't burn it, take it down!" Lin Fei said, turning his head to look at the candles on the plate beside him, and covering his nose with his sleeve, "These candles have been tampered with."
…
…
When Wen Mingtang woke up again, what he saw was the yellow tent vines above his head, and he could vaguely hear footsteps and some scattered voices and orders coming from outside a screen of flowers, plants and trees.
Wen Mingtang turned his head and looked at the figure walking outside the screen.
"Not much inhalation, just take a few sedatives!" The voice was very strange, and the slow tone and movements seemed to be that of a doctor.
The next voice sounded very familiar, it was A Bing's voice.
"Tangyuan cried for a few days, and couldn't even sleep well. In the past two days, I prepared a few sedatives for her. I didn't expect that she escaped this catastrophe by accident."
"You need to rest more if you escape!" The doctor said, "Even if her father is alive, I don't really want to see her so sad. The dead are dead, and the living need to look forward, understand?"
A Bing responded in a low voice, "Understood, I will persuade her."
The doctor said again: "Pick out all the candles that have been smeared with medicine and throw them away. If not, someone will take them and burn them again, and something surprising will happen again. I'm afraid it will be spread by people outside." Already!"
The answering voice this time is not A Bing's, but Lin Fei's.
"It's already thrown away," the voice came from far and near, and a tall figure came in along with the voice, Wen Mingtang heard Lin Fei's voice, "I'm waiting to find out who did this trick .”
As soon as these words came out, Ah Bing's voice rang out, with a bit of obviously suppressed anger in his tone: "The wicked people are really hateful! They don't even let the dead be spared! Fortunately, all the people who came here today are If the people from Dali Temple come from the class who believe in ghosts and gods the most, I don’t know what kind of trouble they will cause!”
Playing tricks here, it really makes Lao Yuan, even after his death, inexplicably incur the reputation of "making troubles" and the like, and it's really hateful to get black on the dead!
Similarly, if the enlightened master Wen was bumped into by others today, wouldn’t he also be treated as a “running against evil spirits” and arrested and flogged to exorcise demons?
Compared to A Bing's anger, Lin Fei's voice was still calm, but the tone was deeper than usual, and it could be heard that he was also suppressing his anger.
However, no matter how angry, rationality prevailed, Lin Fei said: "I asked the aunt next door to buy the candles yesterday morning, and after I bought them, they have been piled up on the plate like this, and the plates are placed on the side, coming in and out. Everyone can touch it, and you can't find anything from here."
