"Wang Wei said, 'Saning, what do you need to go to class for with those eyes? I have a deal for you. Are you interested?'
'I won't do anything unethical.'
'Absolutely not,' Wang Wei immediately denied. I wasn't sure what Wang Wei used to do, but I could tell that by my age, he must have already been quite wealthy.
After all, he had been trapped for twenty years yet was still able to buy a car worth over two hundred thousand as soon as he got out.
I didn't respond, waiting for Wang Wei to continue. He said, 'I know a wealthy local who wants to get something done. It's a simple task, but if successful, there will be a reward.'
At that moment, my mind was wandering, filled with thoughts about the Second Funeral. A waiter came in with a menu and asked if we were ready to order.
I took the menu and randomly selected a few dishes before the waiter left.
Wang Wei continued talking, but I wasn't really paying attention.
Finally, Wang Wei waved his hand in front of my eyes and said, 'Saning, are you even listening to me?' I suddenly felt like I had been jolted awake. I stared at Wang Wei.
I blurted out, 'Wang Wei, what other secrets do you know? Tell me everything right now.'
Wang Wei seemed taken aback by my sudden question and paused for a moment. We stared at each other in silence until I felt deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped back in my chair. Infatuation Chapter, Jie Yi Geng Xin.
'Forget it, forget it,' I repeated twice.
Wang Wei looked at me in surprise; I noticed beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He took a deep breath and returned to the previous topic: 'Saning, did you hear what I just said?' This time his tone was less casual.
I replied that I hadn't heard clearly."
"Wang Wei" repeated, "The boss wants to raise a ghost."
I was taken aback by this statement, suddenly alert. Raise a ghost? What kind of ghost? I asked "Wang Wei."
"Wang Wei" smiled at me and said, "After the job is done, this amount." He gave me a thumbs up.
"How much?"
"One million."
Upon hearing that figure, I fell silent. It was indeed a tempting amount! My monthly salary was only three or four thousand; this was equivalent to decades of my earnings!
"What do you think?" "Wang Wei" observed my dazed expression, thinking I was intrigued. In truth, I was.
I took a puff of smoke, the haze obscuring my face, and suddenly said to "Wang Wei," "He wants to raise a ghost." Before I could finish my sentence, "Wang Wei" immediately interjected, "Yes."
I blurted out, "If he wants to raise a ghost, I'll send you to him."
As soon as I finished speaking, "Wang Wei" promptly shut his mouth and looked at me in fear. I told him, "Raising ghosts is bad business; it's best to stay away from it."
After saying that, I stood up and left without even taking a bite of my meal. Collecting souls and privately raising ghosts fundamentally went against the cycle of reincarnation.
Naturally, it was considered bad business.
Although "Wang Wei" and I were quite familiar with each other, I wasn't pleased with his involvement in such matters.
I tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can and walked straight out of the restaurant. "Wang Wei" quickly followed me.
Wang Wei gasped as he called my name.
I turned to him and said, "If you dare to sell ghosts, you're no longer my friend."
With that, I continued walking forward, and Wang Wei hurried to catch up, saying, "Saning, I was wrong. I didn't think it through. From now on, I'll listen to you. I'm turning over a new leaf; I won't do this anymore."
It seemed like Wang Wei had regained his fear of me.
I looked at Wang Wei and said, "Money can be made, but it has to be earned legitimately."
Wang Wei quickly agreed and then offered to take me home. Once we arrived, I asked Jianjian if they had eaten. Both Jianjian and Wind Tree said they hadn't.
Noodle came over and rubbed against my pant leg. I picked up Noodle, and Wang Wei followed me upstairs, saying he would go buy some food since they hadn't eaten.
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he disappeared.
Jianjian's complexion today was much better than yesterday; she seemed to brighten up in an instant. As I entered the door, Jianjian called me Saning Brother.
Her tone was much more normal than before; previously, it had been laced with fear.
In fact, I suspected that Jianjian's mother had something to do with her situation; this might be part of a conspiracy. The cause of this conspiracy must be those eyes!
I turned on the television and watched for a while.
Wind Tree was already five years old this year, and there was still no news from the police about Wind Tree's family. I thought about how I went to work every day and couldn't take care of Wind Tree; keeping Wind Tree locked up at home all day wasn't a solution either.
When the time came for me to attend that so-called Second Funeral, if I couldn't come back, Wind Tree would be left all alone.
I pondered over this issue.
Tonight, Shang Ke'er did not appear again. I glanced at the Wooden Box and sighed deeply.
I turned to Wind Tree and asked, "Do you want to go to school?" Wind Tree blinked, and suddenly tears sparkled in her eyes as she said, "Brother, does this mean we won't have Fengshu anymore?"
I replied, "No! You still need to go to school."
Regardless of the circumstances, there were some things I needed to clarify. Just in case something went wrong, I wanted to have a backup plan.
Wang Wei soon returned with some food, which was quite tasty.
After eating, I told Wang Wei that I had a few things to discuss. First, he needed to take Wind Tree to school and then take good care of her afterward.
Wang Wei listened without saying a word.
That was all I needed from him, and he readily agreed.
Wang Wei asked what was going on.
After dinner, I instructed Wang Wei to take Wind Tree away immediately. At first, Wind Tree was reluctant, but in the end, she followed Wang Wei out.
Only Jianjian and I remained in the room along with the leftover noodles.
I said to Jianjian, "Jianjian, you should go back now. Your mother’s situation has been resolved."
Jianjian called me Saning Brother, but she had no reason to stay. She hesitated for a moment but was eventually persuaded to leave by me.
Finally, it was just me and the noodles left.
I pulled a cigarette from the pack and lit it. I took a drag, knowing that in just one day, I would be attending a funeral. The last time, the live burial had been so perilous.
If I went this time, it would surely be even more dangerous.
They want to bury me; they think they can bury me. After finishing my cigarette, I turned on the TV, and the noodles crawled up onto the sofa, leaning against me.
Ke'er still hadn’t shown up tonight. I sat alone, watching TV and waiting.
After smoking several cigarettes in a row, suddenly there was a knock at the door. I got up to open it.
I saw Wang Wei standing at the door, a smile on his face.
I didn’t let him in but asked, “What do you want?”
Wang Wei replied, “I have nothing going on, but you definitely do.”
I insisted that I was fine.
Wang Wei said, “Let me in first; I have something to tell you.” I glanced at him, and he looked back at me. In the end, I let Wang Wei inside.
Wang Wei said, “Just now, when I was seeing Wind Tree off, I ran into your wife…”
I immediately asked, “Where is she? Is she okay?”
“She’s fine, but she’s dealing with something. She wants you to wait for her and not go to that place before she arrives.”
"Why isn't she coming up?"
Wang Wei said he didn't know, and then he asked me, "Saning, where are you going?"
I had no reason to hide anything from Wang Wei, so I replied directly, "I'm going to the next funeral."
Wang Wei immediately understood, a look of surprise crossing his face. I told him, "This is my business; you don't need to worry about it."
However, Wang Wei suddenly fell silent and didn't respond right away.
After a long pause, he finally spoke up, "Saning, do you know?"
I looked at Wang Wei as he continued, "Saning, gaining these eyes means you haven't just acquired them; you've also gained what lies behind them."
"What do you mean by 'what lies behind'?" My curiosity was instantly piqued.
Wang Wei lit a cigarette for himself and said, "Those who possess these eyes will gain a lot but will also lose a lot."
I agreed with Wang Wei's words. Yes, I had gained much but had also lost a great deal. Yet some people thought I had gained too much.
Wang Wei seemed like he wanted to say more.
But I cut straight to the point and asked, "What exactly is this 'thing' behind the eyes?"
