Chapter 8 Impermanence

Sister Yuan told me in the letter that she had known for a long time that I had hurt someone in my hometown.

But my uncle was not dead at that time. He was just beaten unconscious by me, but he was seriously injured and was lying in the hospital for a whole month.

Not long after I arrived at the hotel, Sister Yuan saw the missing person notice issued by my aunt in the newspaper and learned the whole story.

But she liked me very much and always loved me like a younger brother. She didn't want me to leave, so she kept hiding it and never told me.

Sister Yuan apologized to me in the letter, saying that she should not be so selfish and hoped that I could live a better life in the future. If I become rich one day, don’t forget to see her.

After reading the letter, I felt as uncomfortable as if I had cut it with a knife, but I was very happy.

If my uncle is not dead, I am not a murderer.

Moreover, my aunt will not be helpless and have a settlement in life.

I was worried for more than a year, but I finally let it go.

But I have decided that since fate has made this arrangement for me, I will stay here in the future and wait until I make a comeback and go back to see my aunt.

Although my life is destined to be bumpy and disaster-prone, I always feel that people still have to work hard with their own hands.

No matter how bad my fate is, as long as I work hard enough, my life will get better one day.

Even if there is really a big disaster within three years, I will not lie flat, let alone surrender.

A few days before arriving at the company, Brother Su didn't arrange any tasks for me and kept taking me around, saying that he was familiar with the shopping mall and the working environment.

Oh by the way, this company is a home appliance company. There are counters in many shopping malls in Harbin. My job is to be responsible for daily maintenance. To put it bluntly, I am a salesperson.

At that time, I was confused and didn't understand anything. I just thought that this job was so high-end and I could go to those bustling commercial areas every day.

When I was free, I would stroll around the company. The one I went to most was Jile Temple opposite the military industry.

This temple has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is said to be one of the four major temples in Northeast China. It has a lot of incense and many tourists, and has many folk legends.

It is said that behind Jile Temple, there is a fox fairy cave. The fox fairy inside is very smart. People often line up to go there to ask for medicine. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Next to Jile Temple is Harbin Amusement Park, which was originally called a cultural park, and it also carries many memories of generations of Harbin people.

Moreover, people in Harbin know that there is a "Maozi Tomb" in the Cultural Park, which is the tomb of the Soviet Red Army martyrs. I heard that there are often rumors of haunted ghosts.

But I just listen to these legends as stories.

The tickets for the amusement park are five yuan. Sometimes I buy a ticket to go in, but I am afraid of heights and I am reluctant to spend money on those projects.

When I occasionally pass by the "Maozi Tomb", I am curious and stay there, but I have never encountered any haunted incidents.

I think the streets are full of tourists, and the city is bustling and bustling. I guess even if there is something, I wouldn’t dare to come out, right?

Including me in the dormitory, there are three people, in addition to the manager, Brother Su, there is also a girl.

The girl is a salesperson in the company, named Zhang Wenwen. She is about the same age as me. Her home is in Huluan and is a little far from Harbin, so she lives in a dormitory in the city, which is convenient for work.

She is fair and clean, has big eyes, is very introverted, and doesn't talk much.

Compared to Sister Yuan, she gives me a very well-behaved feeling, as she is as famous as her name, like a quiet little rabbit.

Sometimes I laugh at her, saying that Harbin girls are very generous and cheerful, she is like a fake Harbin person, and she doesn't care every time, just smiles.

Brother Su is from another place. When he is fine at night, he will call his wife and talk to him for more than an hour.

He also often shows me photos of his two children, one son and one daughter, and the whole family takes photos.

Whenever this happens, I feel uncomfortable because I don’t have a home.

Calm days always pass quickly, but just when I feel that life is gradually returning to the right track, something happened.

During that time, Zhang Wenwen was always absent-minded at work, even in a daze, and often hid in the room and cried alone at night.

This has been the case for several consecutive days, so Brother Su asked me to ask, because the reason was that peers would be more convenient for communication.

I went to ask Zhang Wenwen. At first, she was silent, but later she said that it was her mother who was sick again.

She told me that the cause of the incident was a few years ago when her mother went to Jile Temple and saw two foxes waving to her on the way back.

But at that time, except for her mother, no one else saw the fox.

As a result, when she got home, her mother started to have a fever, and the injections and medication did not work. It lasted for a month and was diagnosed with leukemia.

Later, I experienced several shocks, the worst one, and I rescued it overnight before I came here.

After waking up, her mother said she had gone to a particularly dark place with a gate that was so high that she could not see the end, and many people lined up to walk inside.

Her mother followed in line, and everyone could push the door open with a slight push, but when it was her turn, she couldn't push it open no matter how hard she pushed it.

An old lady next to her told her that this was not where she should come, so she pushed her and asked her to go back.

So she woke up.

Zhang Wenwen spoke very seriously, with a little horror in her eyes. She said she never talked about this to others, for fear that people would think she had mental problems.

I comforted her and said, I believe everything you said, your mother should be in the underworld. Don’t ask me why I know, because I have been there too.

Zhang Wenwen looked at me nervously, hesitated for a while before continuing to talk.

She said that later her mother's illness was brought under control and she went home to recuperate. One night she dreamed of her grandfather at home and told her to buy a better box.

When she woke up in the morning, her mother told her family, but no one believed her. She said she was thinking about it. As a result, she received a call to report the death in less than half an hour and her grandfather passed away.

Only then did her family realize that the so-called box is actually an urn.

This happened three times that year. In addition to asking for a box, another time her mother dreamed that she was on a very turbid river. An acquaintance across the river called her and asked her to go over.

But there were no boats or bridges on the river. The man asked her to trek through the river, but she was afraid that the water would not pass.

I got the news the next morning that the acquaintance passed away the night before.

Everyone in the family was very scared and said that if she had crossed the river at that time, she would have been taken away with her.

The most terrifying time was when her mother dreamed that a person who had passed away for a long time in the same village was being held by two strange-looking people.

The man was wearing a very ragged dark blue shroud and asked her mother to help him ask for money from the family, saying that he had no money to use and was bullied by the little devil.

Her mother asked, and the family said that she hadn't visited the grave for several years, and that person was indeed wearing a dark blue shroud when he was buried.

After dreaming of a dead person several times in a row, her mother's condition became more and more wrong. She was always stunned and her eyes were very evil. She often spoke to the air alone.

Her family began to think that they were mentally ill, and after taking a lot of medicine, they took her to a place where a great immortal came to see it.

When the great immortal saw it, he said that she was "immortality" because she owed debts to the underworld in her previous life, and she would do things for the underworld in this life, and might also help the underworld to bring people down in the future.

Her family was frightened. After begging, the great immortal of the horse sealed her the orifice and made talisman water, saying that he could take care of her for a year.

After some trouble, her mother became much better and her speech behavior became normal.

But now it's less than half a year, I've gotten sick again, and it's even more serious than before.

When she was having supper a few days ago, her mother was fine in the last second, but she fainted in the next second.

The family members rescued for a long time before they woke up. As soon as they opened their eyes, they said that they had just gone to the underworld to investigate the case.

These days, Zhang Wenwen has been afraid of this matter and dare not go home. Moreover, the company is busy, so she can't ask for leave.

I thought about it and told her not to worry about taking leave. I went to tell Brother Su.

Brother Su is very good. After learning about this, he quickly approved it. Because he was worried that something might happen to Zhang Wenwen when he went home, he specially instructed me to accompany her to go back with her.
