What is ghost catching? I don't know either, I've been catching ghosts for two years now, and all I understand is how to kill them, but not what it means to catch a ghost.
That day I originally thought that after Miao Long gave me the sachet, a string of paranormal events would occur around me, but as a result, nothing strange happened in two months.
These two months, Da Gui and Lv Ge have been operating Lingling Hall with great success. Although it's not yet famous throughout all of Chongqing, many people in the vicinity of Medical University know that there is a mortuary called Lingling Hall located in a small alley opposite the university.
And I rarely go there, in terms of fooling people and being shameless, I'm slightly inferior to Brother Donkey, so it's no big deal if I don't go.
For the past two months, I've been accompanying Zhao Shenyu to go shopping every day. After she took away the sachet that day, I didn't mention it again, nor did I ask her about it. And Zhao Shenyu also didn't mention it at all, as if the sachet had never appeared before.
January 2, 2009
School is finally on holiday, and my university's first semester career has come to an end.
On the evening of the 20th, I invited Hong Zhuo, Da Kui, Zhao Shan Yu and Su Mei to our dormitory.
Then we pulled out two boxes of wine outside, bought some melon seeds and peanuts, chatted while congratulating each other on the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is approaching.
That night we drank a lot of wine, Zhao Shenyu was taking care of me by my side, and in the end I fell asleep with a dizzy head.
The next morning when I woke up it was already 12 o'clock at noon. I saw that Tú Gē and Yīng Jùn Gē's beds had been tidied up, those two guys probably went home already, they were from out of town and had to catch the train.
Donkey brother and Da Kui were wearing only their underwear, hugging each other and sleeping on the ground.
These two are also a match made in heaven. Luó Gē is useless at everything except being cunning, while Dà Kuí is good at everything but won't play tricks on people's minds.
I quickly took out my phone and took several photos of them. With these few photos, I can threaten Da Gui to treat me to a few meals later, no problem at all.
Hong Zhuo is gone, he probably went to work.
My stuff was packed long ago and all in the backpack. I carried the backpack out of the dormitory building and arrived at Zhao Shenyu's building.
I took out my phone and dialed her number. After Zhao Shengyu picked up, I said: "Wife, hurry down and let's go home."
Soon Zhao Shenyu ran down from upstairs, still holding a black travel bag in his hand.
After Zhao Shenyu and I went out, we took a taxi to Chongqing Bus Station. It's crazy! What is this Spring Festival travel rush? Now I know, it's crowded with people everywhere, red flags are flying high.
The square in front of the Chongqing Bus Station was packed with people. Judging from the situation, I estimated that Zhao Shenyu and I would not be able to buy tickets even if we lined up until nightfall. In the end, having no other choice, I took out the ID card of the Deputy Commander of the Chongqing Special Police Force and found a staff member at the bus station. Very easily, I bought two tickets to Chengdu.
Otherwise, how can it be said that in China everyone wants to be a civil servant and wants to be an official? Once you become an official, you can open the back door and don't have to squeeze into the Spring Festival transport.
As the car slowly started, I also had a little feeling of melancholy. After staying in Chongqing for half a year, perhaps because the dialects of Chongqing and Chengdu are similar, I gradually regarded Chongqing as my second hometown. At this moment, leaving here, I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to part with it.
However, as the vehicle slowly drove out of Chongqing, my heart flew back to Chengdu. It's been half a year since I last returned to Chengdu. I wonder how Dad is doing lately? How are Wang Rui and Xu Hang doing? Is Li Mingyao's body better now?
When Zhao Shenyu and I arrived in Chengdu, it was already 5:30 pm, and the sky had darkened.
The temperature in Chengdu is not as muggy as in Chongqing, and there's a cool feeling this evening, making me feel comfortable all over.
I and Zhao Shenyu walked out of the bus station hand in hand. Suddenly, Zhao Shenyu asked me: "Hey, Xiaofeng, we haven't gotten married yet, our eight characters aren't even aligned, will it be okay if I go to your house for Chinese New Year?"
"What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that I'm a fortune teller? I've calculated it before, we're a match made in heaven, just like the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden." I chuckled and said: "What's wrong? Are you still afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Shanyu glared at me.
As we chatted, we walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. At this time, the streets of Chengdu were already decorated with lanterns and streamers, and a joyful atmosphere filled the city.
The taxi soon arrived at the foot of my building. I opened the door and stood downstairs, looking up at the floor where my home was. The lights were on at this time, and maybe my dad had already prepared dinner, waiting for me to come back, and then we would have a warm hug, and then the two of us would chat and laugh together.
"Hey kid, hurry up and pay, pretending to be stupid?" The taxi driver suddenly shouted at me.
I suddenly remembered that I hadn't paid yet, so I made a apologetic face and paid the money, then pulled Zhao Shiyu, who was teasing me on the side, up the stairs.
When I reached the entrance of my home, I knocked on the door. My dad opened it and poked his head out to see me.
My dad's face lit up with joy when he saw me, but then he immediately put on a serious face and said, "Come in."
After finishing speaking, he walked into the house and sat down by himself.
I went in and changed into a pair of slippers, sat down beside my dad, put my arm around his shoulder and said: "Dad, if you miss me just say so, why put on a long face and pretend to be cool?"
"Who would have thought that you'd think of me? You little brat, it's a blessing if you can just stop worrying me." My dad has a stubborn mouth, even I, someone who usually doesn't care about anything, after staying in Chongqing for half a year still misses my dad. How could my dad not miss me?
"Hello, Uncle." Zhao Shanyu stood beside the tea table, his hands clasped behind his back, looking a bit embarrassed.
"This must be Xiao Yu, come, hurry up and sit." My dad finally came to his senses when he saw Zhao Shenyu, his face almost smiling, and said to me: "Little fart, why don't you hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook?"
"Ah." I was stunned, me cooking?
"Let me go instead, Uncle." Zhao Shanyu clenched his fist and volunteered.
I was paralyzed and thought that if Zhao Xinyu cooked, it would ruin her good image in my dad's mind. I quickly stood up to say I'd cook instead, but Zhao Xinyu had already rushed into the kitchen to start cooking.
My dad grabbed me and said: "The girl is kind enough to cook a meal for you, what's the hurry?"
I smiled and wiped the sweat from my forehead, saying "Nothing."
"That little wind, what major did you study at the medical university? If there's anything you don't understand in your studies, feel free to ask me. Although practice and textbook knowledge have some differences, they still share commonalities." My dad suddenly asked about my studies.
As soon as I heard that, I thought to myself, if I told him that I ran off to medical university to study nursing, would Dad kill me?
