Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 52 Burial

Ding Ermiao was about to have a seizure, but Xie Caiwei said: "Let me drive to buy it. The Ghost Coin Festival has just passed, and it shouldn't be difficult to buy Ming coins. Maybe they are available in ordinary small department stores."

"Okay, I'll go with Sister Caiwei." Ding Ermiao said, patting the dirt on his hands.

Wan Shugao immediately said: "Then I will go too."

"Go away, stay somewhere cool!" Ding Ermiao almost roared.

As Xie Caiwei said, the Ghost Festival has just passed, and many privately run small department stores still have some paper money left.Ding Ermiao bought two bundles of Ming coins and returned to the construction site with Xie Caiwei, which only took half an hour.

The security captain, Li Weinian, had already buried the bones that were dug up just now, and was sitting idle in Manager Yang's office.Of course, Wan Shugao was also in the air-conditioned room, having a big chat with Manager Yang Li Weinian about trivial matters about astronomy and geography.

Ding Ermiao shook the Ming coins in his hand and said to Li Weinian: "Captain Li, where were the bones just buried? Take me to burn these paper money."

Li Weinian agreed, got up and went out, taking the lead to walk outside the construction site.Xie Caiwei and Ding Ermiao followed, and Wan Shugao also wanted to go and have a look, but Ding Ermiao glared and shrank back in fear.

The skeleton was buried by Li Weinian under a willow tree on the river bank. The place where the bones were buried was slightly higher than the ground, making it look like a small tomb.

Ding Ermiao looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but cast an approving glance at Li Weinian.Surrounded by green mountains and clear water flowing eastward, it is also a good place.Using a tree as a monument and soil as a seal is quite satisfactory.I don’t know whether Li Weinian knew a little about Feng Shui and chose this place specifically, or whether he accidentally buried the bones here.

Li Weinian took the money from Ding Ermiao's hand, squatted on the ground, lit a few with a lighter and threw them in front of the "grave", then added one by one, silently.

Ding Ermiao straightened his clothes, held his fingers with his left hand, and read in his mouth: "The Supreme Emperor's decree is to transcend your lonely soul. All ghosts and ghosts will benefit from the four lives. Those with heads will transcend, and those without heads will live. Kill with spear and knife. , diving and hanging on the rope; dying openly and secretly, dying unjustly; creditors and enemies, fateful sons and daughters; in front of my stage, the gossip shines! I will save you and be reborn in other places. Being a man or a woman, you have to take responsibility for yourself; if you are rich or poor, Retribution will not be pleasant.—Hurry as the law dictates!”

Xie Caiwei was very interested in all this. After Ding Ermiao finished reciting the mantra, she asked, "Ermiao, are all the weird things on the construction site because of this skeleton?"

"I'm not sure yet." Ding Ermiao shook his head and said, "But it should have something to do with it. Let me arrange it tonight and I'll know about it tomorrow."

At this time, Li Weinian also finished burning the paper money, stood up, and looked at the unburned ashes on the ground, looking thoughtful.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, picking up the pile of ashes and flying eastward.The ashes gradually dispersed in the wind, dancing like a group of black butterflies.

At this time, it was clear that the wind was heading west, and the branches and leaves of the grass and trees on the riverside were swaying slightly to the west. Only the paper ashes were traveling against the wind in the air, drifting farther and farther to the east.On the ground, all the ashes were rolled up completely, leaving nothing behind, only a brown mark that had been burned by the fire.

"It's so strange that this piece of paper ash can actually fly against the wind." Xie Caiwei couldn't help but feel horrified when she saw such a strange phenomenon.Li Weinian, who had been speechless, also changed slightly.

"It's not surprising." Ding Ermiao said firmly: "The soul of the deceased took away these paper money. The place where her soul resides should be in the east, so the paper ashes will go east."

Xie Caiwei pondered for a while, and said, "I didn't believe this before, but now I do."

After sighing, the three of them turned and walked towards the construction site.Li Weinian walked a little slowly and looked back from time to time.

Ding Ermiao kept an eye on it and let Xie Caiwei take the first step while he slowed down.While waiting for Li Weinian to catch up, Ding Ermiao asked: "Captain Li, it seems you know something?"

"Ah?" Li Weinian was stunned, stopped, and whispered: "Ding... Consultant, I did encounter something, but I'm not sure."

"Consultant Ding?" Ding Ermiao felt that this title was too awkward. Aren't ordinary consultants all old and gray-haired?So he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Captain Li, we are about the same age, so there is no need to be so polite. If we don't see each other, we will be called brothers."

"That's fine." Li Weinian smiled brightly: "I wonder how old Ding Gu... Brother Ding is this year? I am a snake, and I am 23 this year."

"Oh, I'm a hedgehog, bigger than a snake, so you can call me brother Ermiao." Ding Ermiao smiled slyly: "Go on, what happened just now?"

"Well... that's it, Brother Ermiao. When I buried the bones just now, there was no one else around me, but I actually heard a woman talking behind me. When I turned around, I couldn't see anyone. I suspected that I heard it wrong, so I didn’t tell you. I was also worried about causing unnecessary panic, so I didn’t tell anyone.”

After being tempered in the army, Li Weinian still maintained good discipline, and kept a tight lid on such incidents that might cause panic.

Li Weinian hesitated and continued:

"As a former military king, I am confident that my hearing and vision are very good, and my sensitivity is far higher than that of ordinary people. But the weirdness that just happened made me unable to judge whether it was a mishearing or whether it was true. Someone is talking."

Ding Ermiao nodded: "You heard it right, someone spoke. Tell me, what did she say to you?"

"She just sighed and said, 'What a good person.'" Li Weinian said: "The voice sounded like she was very young."

Ding Ermiao patted Li Weinian on the shoulder and smiled: "Maybe that female ghost has taken a liking to you. Don't worry, since she says you are a good person, she won't come to harm you. Let's go, I won't go back tonight. I’ll be on duty with you at the construction site.”

Returning to Manager Yang's office, Ding Ermiao thought for a while and asked Li Weinian to take leave of absence from all the timid and slow-moving security guards, leaving only five or six more skilled young security guards.

Xie Caiwei saw that it was getting late and was ready to go back to the city.Wan Shugao rolled his eyes and said to Ding Ermiao: "Brother Ermiao, it seems that I am of no use here. It just so happens that I have some personal matters to deal with. Look, I will go back to the city with Miss Xie, okay? No?"

"Okay, I can handle it here, and I have brother Li Weinian to help me." Ding Ermiao chuckled: "What a pity, I originally planned to take you with me to catch ghosts. After we finish, I will give you 2 yuan..."

"Ah..., how about...I stay?" Wan Shugao's heart turned green with regret, and he looked at Ding Ermiao pitifully.

Ding Ermiao listened without hearing anything, picked up the water cup in his hand and drank tea, his face expressionless.

Xie Caiwei couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. This Wan Shugao was indeed a strange person. When he heard about the money, he immediately changed his mind without any embarrassment.

"Er Miao, I'm leaving then. You must be careful and put your own safety first. Don't do anything you're not sure about, don't take risks and don't be brave." Xie Caiwei warned attentively.

"With my sister's words, I am willing to be strangled to death by ghosts." Ding Ermiao laughed, stood up and walked Xie Caiwei out the door.

Xie Caiwei smiled bitterly. The more he was afraid of something, the more Ding Ermiao would say. There was really nothing he could do.Suddenly Xie Caiwei turned around and said, "By the way, would you like to arrange a car for you to use?"

"But I can't drive." Ding Ermiao scratched his hair.

Li Weinian came over: "I can."

Xie Caiwei nodded, turned to Manager Yang, and asked him to take her back to the city. However, she left her own Audi car with Ding Ermiao and Li Weinian.

It was time to get off work, and Manager Yang was about to go home, so he opened the car door and respectfully invited Xie Caiwei to get in the car.

Xie Caiwei held the car door and turned around to look at Wan Shugao.Just now Wan Shugao said that he wanted to go back to the city together, so Xie Caiwei naturally wanted to take her with him.Otherwise, it’s not easy to take a taxi here, and there are no public buses.

"Ah..., Miss Xie, please go first, I'll talk later." Wan Shugao waved with a smile.

I’ll talk about it later, but there’s no need to say it.Xie Caiwei knew Wan Shugao's careful thinking, so she didn't take it seriously, waved goodbye to Ding Ermiao, got into Manager Yang's Poussin, and left.

Security captain Li Weinian also has an office, but it is very small.

Ding Ermiao looked at the list of security guards on Li Weinian's desk. Without looking at Wan Shugao, he lazily asked, "Why, you won't go back to deal with private matters?"

"Hey, Brother Ermiao, I've thought about it. I can take care of personal matters, but catching ghosts can't be delayed!" Wan Shugao said confidently: "As the saying goes, brothers who fight are brothers, and brothers who catch ghosts are brothers! I won't stay and help. How can you live up to this brotherly relationship?"

"Is there such a saying? Why haven't I heard of it?" Li Weinian's eyes were confused and he asked: "Also, just now Brother Ermiao said that he is a hedgehog. Is there such a sign in the Chinese zodiac?"

Wan Shugao immediately stared and scolded Li Weinian like a leader: "Why are you like a problem baby? Talk less and do more!"

"It's you who don't do anything, not Captain Li." Ding Ermiao kicked Wan Shugao on the butt and said to Li Weinian: "Bring a shovel and a tape measure and follow me."

Li Weinian picked up the shovel and followed Ding Ermiao.Wan Shugao did not dare to neglect this time. He also picked up a shovel from the corner and followed him. 2 yuan, where can I find such a good way to make money?

The workers on the construction site have all left work, and the construction site is quiet and even more empty.As the sun goes down, the red glow is like blood, and the crows are dotted in the distance...

Ding Ermiao looked at the compass, selected five directions, and ordered: "Dig a small hole in each of these five places. The area does not matter, the depth is three feet and three feet."

The five directions are in the shape of a regular pentagon, and are approximately three meters apart.Without saying a word, Li Weinian threw off his arms and started doing it.Wan Shugao hesitated for a while and then picked up the shovel.

The soil on the ground was very loose. After 10 minutes, Li Weinian completed the excavation of four small pits, one every five minutes on average.The four small pits are exactly the same, with a diameter of about 5 centimeters, straight walls and round bottom.

But Wan Shugao was still digging hummingly, raising his sleeves to wipe sweat from time to time.

Li Weinian wanted to go over to help, but Ding Ermiao stopped him.

After another long time, Wan Shugao finally dug the hole, whether it was round or square.He looked at Ding Ermiao as if he was taking credit, and said, "Brother Ermiao, do you think I'm okay?"

"Okay, it works!" Ding Ermiao nodded: "Fill the dug soil back in."

"Ah..." Wan Shugao and Li Weinian were stunned at the same time.We have just dug it out and have to fill it in again. Is this making fun of people, or is it making fun of people!
