This just proves the saying: you can ask anyone if you have a problem, but never ask Baidu.
Looking at the various conflicting opinions in my hand, I suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Some say this is the fate of the King of Hell, and it's not worth considering at all; otherwise, at best, one's lifespan would be shortened, and at worst, one would die on the spot.
Some say this is a Yin-Yang destiny, belonging neither to the underworld nor the mortal realm.
Even more outrageous are those who say this is a divine destiny, transcending the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.
In short, there are all sorts of different opinions.
I didn't dare to continue reading and deleted Baidu from my phone, otherwise I was afraid I would go crazy.
I've seen similar videos on Douyin before. A middle-aged man caught a cold and developed some symptoms. He was very worried, so he searched on Baidu to find out what might happen. The so-called experts on Baidu gave all sorts of conflicting opinions, which terrified him. So he went to a big hospital for various tests, but the results came back and there was nothing wrong. He had wasted a lot of money.
Just as I was about to put my phone down, it suddenly started vibrating and ringing. I saw Hu Tudao calling on the screen, so I pressed the call button to answer.
"Hey, Hu Tudao, why are you calling me?" I put the phone to my ear and said.
"Changming, it's me." I heard a middle-aged man's voice coming from the phone.
"Uncle Hu?" I asked instinctively, the voice sounded a lot like Hu Ergou's.
"It's me."
"Uncle Hu, I'm at the courier station now. Are you on your way?" I thought Hu Ergou was calling to ask where I was, so I said into the phone.
"Changming, I can't get there so quickly. I know you need to send that evil spirit away, so I can't show myself yet. Otherwise, if I go, she won't dare to eat. Take the offerings up and let her eat her fill. Once she's full, crossing the Bridge of Helplessness will be easier. Also, burn some extra paper money for her. I'll arrive around 10:30 and send her away then," Hu Ergou said slowly over the phone.
"This... Uncle Hu, what should I do?" I was really reluctant to carry the offerings up by myself because I was scared, but thinking that Xu Huihui could be better reincarnated after eating, I temporarily suppressed my fear and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, I checked my watch. It was already 7 p.m. and the sky was getting dark. I took my change of clothes to the courier station, swiped my card, and headed towards the restroom.
I took a shower and washed my clothes. When I got back to the cabin, it was already 7:30.
I remembered Hu Ergou saying to burn more paper money for Xu Huihui, so I rode my electric bike out. I bought some things when I went shopping today, but not much. It's still early, so I want to go and buy her more.
I rode my electric bike to the Dahuang Temple in town. There was a street there where people bought and sold incense and paper money. It was already dark, and I wandered around for a while before I saw an old lady closing her shop.
I parked my car at the entrance and rushed inside, saying, "Grandma, give me two stacks of paper money."
Upon hearing this, the old lady stopped what she was about to do to close the door, picked up a black plastic bag, put two stacks of paper money into it, and said, "Ten yuan in total."
I took out my phone to scan the QR code for the old lady, but she didn't have a WeChat payment QR code. I had taken a shower and left in a hurry, and I had also forgotten to bring my wallet.
"Grandma, I don't have any cash. Please wait a moment, I'll go find a small shop to exchange some for you," I said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'll owe you for now," the old lady said, and then hurriedly pulled down the storage door.
I watched as the old lady closed the door from the inside and joked, "Grandma, aren't you afraid I won't come? Couldn't you have waited a bit before closing the door?"
"You'll come back again." The old woman's soft voice came from inside. "Young man, hurry up and go. This street is not peaceful at night. I was too busy today and forgot to close the door."
I didn't think too much about what the old lady said, and rode away on my electric bike. I never intended to skip out on the 10 yuan; I planned to come back and pay her after I finished delivering the package tomorrow.
When I got back to the courier station, it was already 8:30 p.m.
I thought it was still early, so I lay in bed playing on my phone. Suddenly, a strange sound came from outside the door. This strange sound had appeared before; it was made by those two big black cats.
Although the sound was creepy, I wasn't scared. I turned on my phone's light, opened the door, and went outside. I started searching in the direction of the sound.
The phone's light didn't shine very far, but I still saw the two big black cats, about twenty or thirty meters in front of me, meowing and staring at me with their eerie green eyes.
I got angry when I saw those two beasts, so I quickly picked up a stone and threw it at them.
But when the big black cat saw me throw the pebble, it ran away first. The pebble landed on the ground with a crisp sound, and the big black cat had already disappeared.
"Damn it, you two beasts ran fast enough, otherwise I would have smashed you to pieces." I cursed a few times and then turned to go back.
Just then, I heard the big black cat meowing again. It was right in front of me, but the light from my phone was too weak, so I didn't see them.
My anger surged up again, and I took my phone as a light and walked towards the sound.
A short while later, I saw the big black cat at the corner ahead. I hurriedly looked for stones or bricks on the ground, but I didn't find any. Instead, I saw a wooden stick, about a meter long, which was a broom handle.
The big black cat was hiding in the corner. I could see its hindquarters. It didn't seem to have noticed me and was still making that eerie meowing sound.
I carried the wooden stick and crept over, intending to give those two beasts a good beating. Although I only saw one of them, it would be good to get revenge at least halfway.
I kept getting closer to the big black cat, but the big black cat didn't seem to notice me at all. When I was less than two meters away from the big black cat's butt, I suddenly started to speed up and came behind the big black cat in a few steps. The wooden stick in my hand was already in position, and I hit it hard in the waist.
The big black cat didn't run away at first, but when my stick was less than half a meter away from it, it turned around and glanced at me. I saw its eerie green eyes, and for some reason, I felt a chill run down my spine. But at that moment, the die was cast, and I didn't think much about it. Instead, I increased the force in my hand.
Just when I thought I was about to break the big black cat's back with a single blow, a strange thing happened: the big black cat, which was right in front of me, suddenly disappeared, and the stick I hit broke in two.
Before I could even ponder how the big black cat had disappeared, I heard its meows again from not far away, and this time it was two of them meowing at the same time.
I was so angry I almost twisted my nose. I grabbed the broken broom handle and headed toward the sound.
A little while later, I spotted two big black cats. One was squatting on the ground, and the other was standing, its head constantly rubbing against the one that was sitting.
I charged forward with the broken broomstick in my hand, and the big black cat also stood up and ran away, but they weren't running very fast, and they would occasionally look back at me.
My only right eye was filled with rage, and I charged towards them with lightning speed.
When I rushed to within a meter of the big black cat, I was about to stab it with the broomstick in my hand, but at that moment, the big black cat disappeared again, and I crashed directly into a door due to inertia.
I squatted on the ground, covering my nose, tears streaming down my face from the pain. Through my blurry vision, I thought I saw a large brass lock.
