Chapter 60 Finding the Cause of Death of Gui Shu

20xx. 04. 16
Today's weather has turned fine. The weather in the south will gradually heat up after the Ching Ming Festival. Once it enters summer, the weather will be very hot, and it will be difficult for many northerners to adapt.

However, the current living conditions are generally very good. I enjoy air-conditioning at work in the company and sleep at home with air-conditioning. Summer will end in a blink of an eye.

After lunch, Xiao and I sat on the sofa and chatted casually.

My eyes were attracted by the pot of small osmanthus trees placed on the balcony.It's not that I'm attracted to it because it's growing well, but it's withered, its leaves are gone, its branches are dry and dead.

In fact, in the middle of last month, this osmanthus tree grew very vigorously, and its branches stretched out gracefully.

"Honey, look, I'm amazing. The osmanthus tree makes me grow green, as if I'm dancing." At that time, I once boasted to Xiao very proudly.

However, since March 3th, the leaves on the top of the tree began to wither, and I trimmed them with scissors, but the results did not stop the leaves from continuing to wither and turn yellow.So when I watered every day, I saw dead yellow branches and leaves, and I would prune them. After more than a week, they were bald.

Just be bald, I've been feeling bald lately.

Since two days ago, I found that the flower pot was full of water, because the leak hole at the bottom was blocked, and the water accumulated every day could not leak out, and the tree was soaked to death.

The cause of death was found. The roots of the osmanthus tree were soaked and rotten, unable to survive, and died.

……

Today I looked at the dead osmanthus tree again, and my doubts amplified. Why was the leak under the flower pot suddenly blocked?Was it blocked?But no one moved.

I suddenly had some weird thoughts, looked at Xiao who was sitting beside me, and said, "Check it out for me to see if there are any plants that can attract ghosts."

Xiao looked at me suspiciously, and went to check without saying anything, and read:

"Osmanthus, pagoda tree, these types of plants are more likely to attract evil things..." Xiao looked at the phone data and read it to me.

I took Xiao’s phone over and looked at it myself:

The fact that osmanthus trees cannot be planted at home is mainly derived from an old saying. In "Yin Yang Zhai Jing", it is written: "Osmanthus fragrans in the courtyard, ghosts return outside the house. Osmanthus osmanthus trees in ancient and modern times are all omens of disaster in the home. "

It also wrote: "In front of the gate of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, nobles stand inside the gate." It means that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree is not suitable to be planted at home, otherwise it will attract ghosts and bring disasters. It is best to plant the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of or behind the door. This is an auspicious meaning.

In Chinese folk, some places believe that willow, mulberry, locust tree and osmanthus are the four ghost trees.

Because the "osmanthus" and "ghost" of osmanthus are homophonic, and combined with the ancient text introduced above, it is said that planting osmanthus at home will attract ghosts, so many people think that planting osmanthus at home is an ominous sign, which explains why the family Osmanthus cannot be planted.

……

After reading it carefully, I couldn't help sighing.

Xiao asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Alas, Xiao is just careless. He never cares about the details of life. I even suspect that if I faint in the bathroom one day, it will take eight hours for him to find out. At that time, my head may have been deprived of oxygen...

"The osmanthus tree in our house has been dead for several days. Didn't I show off to you last month that I was well-raised? Look, it's dead."

I pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree high on the balcony outside.

"Wow, really! He's really dead, what happened?" Xiao shouted in surprise as if he had discovered an alien planet.

"Didn't you invite the wooden fish back on March 3? My son dreamed that Grandpa Buddha sucked away many evil things with his palm. I wonder if our osmanthus tree is a resting place for those little ghosts?"

I said it myself. "

"According to your analysis, it's not unreasonable. My wife's understanding is getting higher and higher." Xiao timely flattered her.

"Is it only useful to analyze afterwards? If you have the ability, you should take precautions in advance!" I said, making it clear that I would not follow Mr. Xiao's tricks.
