The next day, early morning.
Chen Jun got up and went to the yard to wash up, and then he heard Second Aunt and others gathered together chatting.
Um?
What are the aunties talking about if they don’t go home to cook?
Curious Chen Jun listened for a few sentences and found that everyone was talking about a white ghost.
"It's really weird. That ghost hangs around the toilets, especially the entrance to the women's restroom."
"That's right. I was so scared yesterday. If I hadn't been so agile, I might have been dragged away by that ghost."
"Oh, is this true? Why didn't I meet him last night?"
"You're lucky. Anyway, when you go to the bathroom at night, you can't go alone, especially if you have a little girl at home. You must find someone to accompany you."
Xu Damao’s wife was among them. She was the first one to encounter the white ghost last night, which caused her to be unable to sleep the whole night.
Maybe one or two were just mistakes, but when I asked around this morning, I found out there were actually four or five.
"Well, isn't it said that there aren't any monsters or ghosts? We have to keep our voices down so that the neighborhood committee office doesn't hear about this. Otherwise, things will get out of hand." The woman who didn't encounter the white ghost yesterday reminded.
In those days, the Four Olds were being destroyed and discussion of feudal superstitions was not allowed. Jia Zhang was punished because she shouted to call for Old Jia.
In fact, being punished is already a lenient punishment. In serious cases, the offender would be tied up, criticized, and paraded through the streets like Jia Dongxu.
After she reminded them, the other people's discussions suddenly became much quieter. Hou Guifang was worried that something might happen if they continued talking, so she simply went home to cook.
In fact, it was not just the backyard that was discussing this matter; people in the middle and front yards were also spreading the news.
The rumor became more and more outrageous, even involving an accident a few years ago. The white ghost was wandering around the public toilet with lingering resentment.
Why are they hanging around in public toilets? Some people explain that toilets are unclean places. Anyway, their explanation is very convincing.
Jia Dongxu, who was hiding behind the window and eavesdropping, saw that he had caused panic in the courtyard, so he covered his mouth desperately, fearing that he would laugh out loud.
So cool!
It feels so good!
He had never been so happy since his legs became disabled.
No one expected that Jia Dongxu initially just wanted to take revenge on Xu Damao, but he never thought that he had found his own source of happiness.
He found great satisfaction in watching the women trembling with fear and fleeing in panic.
Jia Dongxu even wanted to upgrade his equipment, by smearing something on the white cloth, or making something that could make noises like the underworld.
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu, who was covering his mouth and laughing, and thought that he might have a mental problem.
Who, as a serious person, would pretend to be a ghost and scare people in the middle of the night?
Don’t you know that scaring others can kill them?
Besides, if we do this in the middle of the night, what if we run into a real guy?
Are you still alive?
"Dongxu, could you please stop scaring people at night? What if you scare someone in the middle of the night?"
"Even if it doesn't scare people, what if someone with a bad temper comes and hits you?"
Qin Huairu was not really worried about Jia Dongxu getting beaten up. She just felt that going to the door of the women's restroom in the middle of the night to scare people was a very embarrassing thing.
If they were really caught, both she and Banggeng would be implicated and unable to raise their heads.
"What do you know? I was just kidding them!"
Jia Dongxu glared at Qin Huairu unhappily. He had finally found happiness, how could he just throw it away?
What's more, he has to take revenge on Xu Damao!
"But what if you get beaten up?"
If you get beaten normally, you can extort money, but if you get beaten for pretending to be a ghost to scare people, you have to pay for the medical expenses yourself. Qin Huairu doesn't want the family's money to be spent by Jia Dongxu.
With the current family income, if we don't do anything unrealistic, we will have no problem filling our stomachs every month, and we can even buy some meat occasionally.
Qin Huairu is very satisfied with such a life, provided that nothing happens at home. Once something happens, this balance will be broken and she will return to the state of not having enough to eat.
"Who dares to hit me?" Jia Dongxu didn't take it seriously. He found the white cloth he used yesterday and started upgrading his equipment.
On the other side, Xu Damao, who had just finished his meal and was about to go to work, glanced at the haggard Hou Guifang and said, "Go to sleep. You haven't slept all night. Don't tire my son out."
"But I can't sleep!" Hou Guifang curled her lips.
She was so scared last night that whenever she closed her eyes she could think of the floating white ghost.
"Oh, don't even think about it. That thing must have been caused by someone's kid." After a pause, Xu Damao comforted him, "Well, the dirty things won't dare to come out during the day. You just sleep at home during the day, and I'll go check on what's going on at night."
After comforting Hou Guifang, Xu Damao went out.
When passing by the front yard, I saw Sha Zhu, Liu Lan and Yan Jiecheng going to work together.
After thinking about it, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and chased after him.
"Hey, did you hear that someone was making trouble at the entrance of the public restroom last night?"
Yan Jiecheng nodded and said, "I heard that Yu Li was so scared that she insisted I accompany her when she went to the bathroom at night."
"It's probably some thief Sun who's causing trouble." Sha Zhu also said casually.
What ghost? Sha Zhu doesn't believe in it at all. Even if he really encounters one, as the God of War in Siheyuan, he dares to rush up and fight with the ghost.
"Oh, my wife was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. She's pregnant now. If she gets scared and something happens to her, it will be a disaster."
"How about this, the three of us squat down there at night and see what it is." Xu Damao suggested.
Hou Guifang will not feel at ease until this thing is removed.
Having a child not only cost Xu Damao a lot of money, but also a lot of energy, so he had to figure out what that thing was.
"How do you squat?"
Yan Jiecheng was quite interested. If he could solve the problem with Xu Damao, he wouldn't have to accompany Yu Li to the toilet.
"Let me think about it and we'll talk about it after work." After saying that, Xu Damao glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "Do you want to join? I heard that He Yushui also met him yesterday."
"Come on!" Sha Zhu waved his hand.
have to!
With two helpers, Xu Damao felt at ease.
Especially those who are good at fighting like Sha Zhu, even if the opponent is really a dirty guy, these three grown men will not be afraid.
In the evening, the few people who had finished work met at Xu Damao's house.
At this time, Xu Damao had already thought of a plan, and he even spent money to buy a lot of things for tonight's action.
A chicken, some apples and some incense sticks.
"Xu Damao, why did you buy these things?" Sha Zhu didn't understand. He should have some nets, forks or something to catch things. If that didn't work, he could just prepare a rolling pin.
Buying food, is it offering it to ghosts?
