    Hu Zongren and I walked into the house and found that the old man was no longer where he was sitting.  So Hu Zongren and I started walking to other rooms to look for the old man. As a result, when we walked to the porch where we first entered, we heard the old man's voice coming from the direction of the kitchen, saying, "Two young people, it's not too late at this time."  It's getting late, don't mind it, stay for dinner.  After speaking, he paused and then said, "No one has come to eat here for a long time."  So Hu Zongren nodded and said that he should eat with the old man first, and then talk about it after eating.  So we walked towards the kitchen.  Although the sky outside was not completely dark at this moment, it had reached the point where it was necessary to turn on the street lights.  As soon as we turned to the kitchen, we found the old man tremblingly dragging the bench under the table, so Hu Zongren hurried up to help, and then helped place the dishes and chopsticks.  The old man said that there was nothing to eat at home, so he could just eat something simple.  I smiled and nodded, and then asked the uncle, "You haven't cooked yet, how about we help you."  The old man smiled cheerfully and said yes, so Hu Zongren and I were responsible for washing and chopping vegetables, and I was responsible for cooking and stir-frying. Soon the kitchen became full of excitement.  I am a relatively lazy person. In fact, Sister Cai cooks most of the time at home.  However, these days disappeared completely after she became pregnant in 2011. During her pregnancy, I not only learned a lot of dishes, but I even learned how to make desserts and afternoon tea.  I have to say that this is a huge improvement for me.  But at the old man's house, I only often saw Sister Cai doing the cooking, and I had very little experience in doing it myself.  Not to mention Hu Zongren, I'm afraid he can't even wash dishes at home.  So the two of us hurriedly prepared. I used all my special skills. I had never been so successful in scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I also cooked a pot of vegetable soup. During the whole process, the old man sat aside.  He looked at us happily, and it seemed that our arrival would give him a meal.  So when I was cooking, I added a little more rice so that the old man could eat more meals and be less busy with meals.  Just when I thought everything was ready, Hu Zongren handed me another dumpling with carrots cut into small rounds.  Of course I understood what Hu Zongren meant, but this pig actually washed the carrots cleanly and even put in the radish leaves.  Even someone like me, who doesn't cook very often, knows that the leaves are inedible.  So I divided it by three, five, and two, and came up with a plate of stir-fried carrots.  This whole process took about half an hour, during which the three of us did not speak to each other at all. Hu Zongren and I often go to the client's home, so there is nothing to feel embarrassed about.  While I was cooking, I was thinking about how I should talk to this old man later.  Fortunately, the meal was quite tasty, if not for the fact that I added a little too much salt.  The old man doesn¡¯t drink, so Hu Zongren and I didn¡¯t take the initiative to find a drink. At the end of the meal, the old man suddenly said, thank you for coming to help me cook today. Your street is really considerate of the people. I¡¯ll do it for our wife.  Thank you very much.  The old man¡¯s words made Hu Zongren and I feel very uncomfortable.  Although we still have a lot of sympathy for this old man, in the final analysis, our root is still to complete our own commission. Lying and deceiving people is something we often do in our industry, but it is usually not malicious.  But at this moment I was filled with a sense of guilt.  I looked at Hu Zongren, and Hu Zongren's face was also very complicated. After being silent for a while, he said to the old man, "Actually, uncle, we have something to do, and we may want to talk to you at this time."  The old man put down his chopsticks, but his face was still full of satisfaction after a good meal. He asked Hu Zongren, "Young man, tell me what's going on."  Hu Zongren sighed and said, in fact, we have deceived you. We are not street workers at all, and the street is not conducting any census. The reason why we came to you today is actually to defraud you of some other things.  Information.  When the old man heard this, he seemed a little surprised, so he looked at Hu Zongren for a long time and said, what are you doing here?  Hu Zongren explained, "Actually, this is the case. We didn't want to come to visit you. We were originally hired by others to investigate and deal with some matters. However, during the process, we discovered that the source of these matters is actually your family."  Zhang Ma, but Zhang Ma is no longer here, and we also tried to communicate with her, but we failed, so we took the liberty to come to your house. On the one hand, we learned about Zhang Ma¡¯s personality from your mouth, and guessed where she stayed.  For the following reasons, we even need your help to cooperate with us in sending Zhang Ma away peacefully.  Hu Zongren's words seemed to surprise the old man. He didn't come back to his senses for a while. Then he hesitated and said, why didn't I understand what you said? Why are you trying to communicate with her again? I  Did my wife know you before?  Hu Zongren glanced at me and bit??, he told the old man exactly what we had encountered during this period, word for word, and even without any embarrassment. Of course, he omitted the part where Zhang Ma¡¯s ghost pushed Hu Zongren and me downstairs.  , just telling the old man that although Zhang Ma is dead, she has not left yet and is still wandering around here, so she was attracted by the supermarket over there when they were burning incense and candles. If we guessed correctly, Zhang Ma did not  One of the reasons for leaving was probably because she couldn't bear to worry about you. She still appears in the supermarket from time to time and takes carrots from the supermarket.  When talking about this, Hu Zongren and I both looked at the plate of leftover carrots in front of us.  But Hu Zongren¡¯s words were obviously unacceptable to the old man. He stood up and said to us very excitedly and angrily, ¡°Get out of here, you two. If you don¡¯t, I will call the police.¡±  Hu Zongren hurriedly said to him, old man, we have no ill intentions. To put it bluntly, we don't need to come to you at all. We also know how to use ruthless tricks, but in that case, such a kind-hearted old woman will be harmed.  , wouldn¡¯t you feel sad if you knew that your wife did not end well after his death?  This guy and I, our profession is to make a living by catching ghosts, and everything we have can prove that I am definitely not lying to you.  After that, Hu Zongren and I took out all the strange things on our bodies.  The old man's expression was very solemn. He seemed unable to accept the fact that his late wife turned into a ghost after her death. But judging from his appearance, this kind of old man who knew his fate at his age actually believed what we said.  So the old man plopped down and sat on the stool. After a long time, he asked Hu Zongren, my wife, does she look okay?  Hu Zongren lied and said that it was okay, but even if he kept wandering here, unable to ascend to heaven or descend to the earth, it was indeed very pitiful.  You are the person she has been with for so many years. You must not want your wife to just wander around like this and end up harming others and yourself, and become a lonely ghost, right?  From the moment we entered the room, I always felt that this old man was very optimistic. Who knew that after Hu Zongren said these words, he actually stretched out his wrinkled hands, covered his face and cried softly.  Neither Hu Zongren nor I went to comfort him, but we knew that in this case, his crying would be a kind of spiritual release for him, so we waited for him to cry.  After the old man finished crying, he asked us, tell us what you need me to do.  So I said to the old man, you don¡¯t need to do anything, just follow us later. After we do the wake-up ceremony, you can talk to your wife and let her go with peace of mind. As long as you are fine.  .  Just talk like you usually do.  The old man said with tears in his eyes, can she still hear what I said?  I nodded and said yes.  Hu Zongren and I quickly washed the dishes and cleared the table, because we felt that the old man would not be in the mood to wash the dishes when he came home later.  After cleaning up the kitchen, Hu Zongren and I helped the old man out.  After going out, Hu Zongren called Teacher Yang and asked Teacher Yang to take us back to the fresh food area of ??the supermarket from the elevator.  When the old man saw the cabinet full of carrots, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.  Hu Zongren and Teacher Yang accompanied the old man, while I removed the rope formation and dressings that I originally set up here, and then tested it with the compass and found that the reaction was still relatively violent, which fully met the conditions for awakening spirits, so  I said to Hu Zongren, you can start.  Then Hu Zongren asked the old man about Zhang Ma¡¯s specific name, birthday and death. Soon I saw from the compass that Zhang Ma was here.  This kind of summons with accurate information must be accurate as long as it is around here, but after it is shouted, we cannot see it.  I paid attention to the movement of the compass. It was not as angry as when it pushed us up the stairs, but a little dazed, but it was indeed coming.  So I said to the old man, if you have anything to say to Zhang Ma, just say it now. She is around us at the moment.  The old man looked around, as if he was looking for Zhang Ma. When he turned his head, I saw the expectant look in his eyes.  The old man still said tremblingly, "Old woman, you can go on your own. I'm fine here. Don't worry about me. Just go down and take a seat for me. I'll be here with you soon."  I glanced at Teacher Yang and gently rubbed his nose, then put his hand on his nose.  The old man went on to say, I will eat carrots every time. After I eat them, I will hate them when I see them. You like to force me to eat them anyway, so I will just eat them.  ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the kids are grown up and have their own things to do. They come back to see me often, so don¡¯t be afraid that I will be lonely.  You can go on your own. On the anniversary of the Qingming Festival, I will burn money for you. If it is not enough, just tell me in your dream. Even if you have nothing to do, you can still tell me in your dream. I also want to see you After saying this last sentence, old man  The uncle couldn't hold it any longer and burst into tears.    I didn¡¯t have time to be sad with them. After looking at the compass, Zhang Ma¡¯s ghost had become very smooth and warm, so I said to Hu Zongren that it was time, so Hu Zongren mounted it to invite the gods and sent it away with a higher standard.  I found Zhang Ma¡¯s ghost until I couldn¡¯t find it on the compass.  Then the three of us sent the old man home together. Teacher Yang promised to visit the old man often and keep in touch with his children.  When we left the old man's house, he said to Hu Zongren and me through the iron fence gate, two young people, thank you, you are good people.  Hu Zongren and I smiled, then turned and left.  Downstairs, Teacher Yang asked us if we were done?  Hu Zongren and I looked at each other, and then I said to Teacher Yang, it¡¯s still a little bit close.
