Chapter 84: Call for Help
After adding the things I needed to my treasure bag, I left the funeral shop.
My cell phone received the location the man gave me, which was probably the location of the store that Young Master Chen rented to him.
When I arrived at the place, I found that my cousin was also there.
"You came at the right time. I have something to tell you."
Before I even walked into the door, my cousin had already seen me.
He waved at me and I followed him into the alley behind the store.
"There will be more things to do after the New Year, but there is one thing you must not forget. Your soul-returning bead has not been found yet."
The soul-restoring bead!
If my cousin hadn’t told me, I would have almost forgotten about this.
"When we are done here, the Gaoshan Temple will probably start its affinity meeting. Remember to ask Mr. Liu to drive us there." My cousin touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly, "I'll leave this matter to you. I can't ask Mr. Liu for a car."
I nodded .
Anyway, it's my business, I should have paid more attention to it. I can't always ask my cousin to go to the flea market to help me find the resurrection bead and do nothing myself.
But we have work to do now, so there is no time to rush.
I would still like to know how the conversation between my cousin and Young Master Chen went after I left the agency in the afternoon.
"That's about it. The bunk he bought is a little dirty inside, so maybe we can go and help him clean it. We'll talk about it later. We're busy right now."
Before my cousin could finish his words, his cell phone rang.
It is very likely that he has work to do, so I won’t bother him anymore.
But when I turned around to leave, my cousin's voice suddenly became low and sounded a little angry.
"I have already reminded you, but you didn't listen to me. If you come to me now, I can't help you." Then he said.
I didn’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said. His voice was so loud that I couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying.
My cousin replied, "I'm busy now. If you have the life to wait, then wait. If not, then find someone else to help you. That's it for now."
I turned around and looked at my cousin, a little surprised.
In my impression, he is a lazy person who does not work seriously, but of course, he is very serious about his work.
No matter what, he would not speak to others in that tone just now, not to mention that I could hear that the person was a guest.
Even if you need something from him, you shouldn't do that.
"What's going on?" I was a little curious.
My cousin put the phone back into his pocket, shook his head, and sighed: "Mr. Zhang this morning said something happened at home, and he didn't know what happened. All the children in the family were sick. The children were sent to the hospital, but the doctor couldn't find anything. So he wanted us to go over and take a look. It's very likely a weak illness."
Deficiency disease.
When we have headaches and fevers that can be cured by doctors, they are called real diseases.
But if even a sorcerer cannot cure the disease, it is called a false illness.
It’s just that we have always been doing the work of cleaning the house and rarely help people with their minor illnesses.
When my cousin was working on his own, he did a lot of things like this.
It’s different now. You can’t make much money by treating minor illnesses.
"When did you start taking on this kind of business?" I was a little curious.
Is this for money?
"No, there is something wrong with their family." My cousin's tone suddenly became deep and his expression became serious.
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on.
"When you were helping to hold the sail yesterday, didn't the wind break the glass fish tank? That wasn't ordinary wind, it was evil air. But it was strange, the evil air was more like the energy left by the old lady. So I couldn't tell whether I should take this job or not. I'll push him away first. Anyway, Mr. Zhang looks unruly, and I don't really want to help him."
My cousin touched his nose and left the alley. He walked towards the store and I followed him.
My cousin asked the man’s name and found out his last name was Xie, so he began to make a series of arrangements.
Following his cousin's instructions, Brother Xie and all his family members wore mourning clothes.
Then they stood in order of seniority.
"The sons will start mourning today, and the grandchildren will keep vigil at night. The grandchildren can go and rest now, and come to take over in the evening. The eldest son will have to work harder, and he will need to stay for the next three days. He can rest, but he can only be in the mourning hall."
I sat on the sidelines doing nothing, listening to my cousin's arrangements.
The man who came to see us in the morning, Brother Xie, should be the eldest son.
I don’t know if it’s just my psychology, but I always feel that he doesn’t look very good.
It's the kind of bad luck with a black forehead.
After arranging everything, my cousin began to perform the ritual.
Brother Xie has a younger brother who is about the same age as me and is also a golden boy, so he can support Fan, and there is nothing for me to do.
While his cousin was performing the ritual, his phone rang again.
He handed me the phone impatiently.
When I looked at the notes, it was Mr. Zhang from this morning.
I looked up and made eye contact with my cousin who was performing the ritual, and he gestured for me to take over.
"Hello?"
The other party obviously didn't expect that someone else would answer the phone, so there was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Hello?" I asked again .
"Ah...Excuse me, is Mr. Wen here?"
"He's busy. Is there anything you can tell me first?"
"I beg you, please come to my house! I feel like I'm going to die here! Ah..."
The other person's voice became strange and his breathing became rapid.
My heart sank, I hoped nothing would happen.
"What on earth happened to you?!" I started to get anxious and my body was shaking as I held the phone, not knowing what to do.
"All the lights in our house are dark. I have checked and found that there is no problem with the wiring and bulbs. But for some reason, they won't turn on no matter how hard I try. I feel like someone is chasing me. When he catches up with me, he will grab my neck. He has already grabbed my neck and I can't breathe. Please help me!"
He spoke faster and faster, and now it was completely dark.
My cousin is busy. Things here are not as troublesome as those at Mr. Zhang's house, and Brother Xie is a nice person, so my cousin is more concerned about it.
I was just looking at my watch while I was giving them the task, so I didn't want to disturb them.
What should I do?
"Uncle, come here." Finally, I plucked up the courage and pulled my cousin aside.
After all, the person involved in Mr. Zhang's case is a human life. Now that we have explained everything, we can actually leave.
"Is there such a thing? Then I'll go back and talk to them, and then you come with me." After saying that, my cousin turned and left.
