Because she was a fat woman with a weathered face, wearing very cheap clothes and a pair of flowery sandals, and she was holding a large bag of incense, candles and paper in her hand, and she was looking over here.
I don’t know what you want to do?
When Xu Zijun was barbecuing, the woman finally found a crossroads about 20 to 30 meters away from Zhang Fan and the others, then she knelt on the ground and started burning paper money.
The people who were preparing to eat were stunned.
Especially Rong Lecheng, who was standing there helping to serve the barbecue and beer. He had studied abroad before and had never seen such a scene.
Jiangcheng is a relatively developed city, but there are still people burning paper money in this city. Isn’t this feudal superstition?
"Mr. Zhang, do you want me to call that sister-in-law and ask her to burn the paper farther away?"
Rong Lecheng saw that the sister-in-law was only about twenty meters away from them, which was neither far nor near. They were going to have dinner here in a while, and Mr. Zhang was in a good mood today, so he shouldn't let other things spoil his mood.
"It's okay. The distance is far and the road is wide. Don't interfere with others..."
Zhang Fan didn't care. Someone who had been to the underworld wouldn't care about someone burning paper money.
Besides, it’s so far away, so it won’t be a problem.
The barbecue stall was set up and the ice-cold beer was also on display. Xu Zijun's grilled meat skewers, crucian carp, abalone, etc. were almost cooked. After Xu Zijun served a table full of delicious food, he sat down and drank beer with Zhang Fan.
"Lecheng, sit down, why are you always standing?"
Xu Zijun dared to sit down and eat and drink with Zhang Fan, but Rong Lecheng stood aside honestly, adding dishes and pouring wine for them, and even placed the soup made by Xu Zijun in the middle of the table.
The soup is made with the freshest wild mushrooms and pigeon soup. The pigeon meat has been fished out, and there are various mushrooms in it, so the soup is not greasy at all.
One bite and you’ll find it really makes your whole body feel relaxed, from the tip of your tongue straight to the bottom of your heart, it’s so delicious.
The grilled skewers were sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and they were tender and fragrant when chewed. This made Zhang Fan feel that he had finally made up for his trip to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang a while ago, and eating this piece of meat was enough.
Good food tastes good and makes one feel good, so Zhang Fan asked Rong Lecheng to sit down and drink. This made him a little nervous, but he still obediently half-sat on the chair.
As long as Mr. Zhang or Xu Zijun had any problem, he would immediately stand up and serve them.
At this time, Rong Lecheng already understood the painstaking effort his father had put in bringing him to meet Mr. Zhang. As long as Mr. Zhang was willing to employ him, the Rong family's status and wealth would be assured.
There were intermittent crying sounds coming from the distance. Xu Zijun and Rong Lecheng could not hear it clearly, but Zhang Fan could hear it very clearly. The crying sound came from the paper man being burned over there.
The woman knelt on the ground, lit three incense sticks, burned paper and prayed.
"It's been twenty-five years, and I don't know if you have been reincarnated yet. If you haven't, please come to me in a dream and tell me who killed you. For twenty-five years, I have been unable to sleep or eat day and night. God, why don't you open your eyes and let an honest person suffer such a disaster..."
Every time the woman said something, she would burn some paper money. Every time she said something more, she would burn more paper money.
Occasionally she would wipe away tears, trying hard not to burst into tears.
It’s been 25 years, time flies!
She is almost fifty years old, but even when she goes to sweep the floor or clean the house, people are unwilling to hire her, saying she is too old!
However, her wish has not been fulfilled yet. She was a little scared that if she died, that person would never come out again. So she came to burn paper money today, just thinking that people can send messages in dreams after they die.
Why? They have been dead for 25 years and have never sent any dreams.
Why can't God open his eyes?
"He was such a good and honest man, why couldn't God open his eyes? You can't speak after you die. Can you send me dreams? Send me dreams. Please, send me a dream. Let the real murderer be caught and let my husband come back. He was wronged. He was wronged too much..."
The woman kept crying and her words were not particularly clear.
Moreover, many times what she said was inconsistent, which made Zhang Fan, who heard her words, feel very strange.
This woman kept asking the dead to appear in her dreams.
She kept complaining that God was blind and that honest people were pitiful. As she said those words, she cried even harder. At first, she cried quietly and suppressed her tears, but as she spoke, she almost burst into tears.
The sound was so loud that the elder Xu Zijun and Rong Lecheng both felt uneasy and looked towards the woman.
You are crying so miserably and so heart-wrenchingly. Did you really encounter some difficult things?
"Brother Zhang, why don't I go take a look? This person's crying sounds really miserable..."
Xu Zijun saw that Zhang Fan was also listening to the woman's crying, so he asked in a low voice, but saw Zhang Fan nodded. He picked up a bottle of unopened mineral water from the table.
When he walked to the woman, he saw her old face, hesitated for a moment, called her "Auntie", and handed her a bottle of water.
"Auntie, don't cry. Nothing is impossible. Drink some water and come to our place to eat something. Otherwise, take a rest first..."
Xu Zijun tried to persuade the woman, but he didn't expect that his arrival would frighten the woman, and she stood up in a hurry.
But he kept waving his hands and apologizing to Xu Zijun and the others.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't find that place. I can only vaguely remember that it was a crossroads. Did I burn the wrong place? I won't do it again next time. I'm sorry, sorry..."
The woman was at a loss at this moment, and the words she said were incomprehensible. In any case, Xu Zijun didn't understand.
At this time, a patrolman came over. When the woman heard the sound of the police car siren, she seemed to have seen something terrible. She threw the little paper left in her hand to the ground and ran away.
That speed and reaction made the man who was standing in front of him and was about to ask this woman what was going on, but he didn't expect that she ran away, just ran away!
Xu Zijun was left standing alone in the wind, feeling disheveled and not knowing what to say.
The patrolmen rushed over quickly and put out the flames and paper money on the ground. Fortunately, they saw the woman who was burning the paper running away, and did not blame Xu Zijun too much, but just put out the fire.
He also told Xu Zijun that if he encountered similar situations, he could call the police.
"That woman is a little mentally ill, she's crazy, and she's been burning paper money everywhere in this area for more than 20 years. If you see her, just call the police..."
An older patrolman told Xu Zijun directly.
