When Seventh Uncle finished telling the story, Ah Wei and I were so scared that we broke out in a cold sweat. I thought that what I encountered was already very scary, but after listening to Seventh Uncle's experience, I realized that what I encountered was nothing at all! Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning of the story. Seventh Uncle took a few deep puffs of his cigarette and drank a mouthful of tea before continuing,
"I arrived at a city that wasn't very big, but it was indeed a place with a very developed economy. It was a port city. Every day, there would be many cargo ships coming and going at this port. Therefore, most of the people in this city lived very well. I was new here and didn't have many connections. I had almost used up all the money on me. On the passenger ship that came, I met someone. He said that his name was Wang Yu. He specialized in import and export trade and had lived overseas before. He spoke fluent German and dressed in a western style. He ran a business in this city and we got along quite well. He heard that I knew some knowledge about Feng Shui and wanted me to help him. Firstly, I could have a place to live and secondly, I could help him with his business. Actually, I really wanted to go, but I felt that I didn't know how to do business, so I declined. I didn't expect him to say that I didn't need to do business."I just need to go to the trading firm to work every day and sit. At first, I didn't understand, but later on, I understood because I more or less knew something about this. There were many people coming and going in his trading firm every day. He liked me to follow him and help him look after people. It could be considered as helping him with his business. Anyway, he didn't need me to do anything that I didn't know how to do. I just needed to observe people's expressions, so I agreed. The salary was secondary. The most important thing now was that I had a place to live and got off the ship.""We went straight to his trading firm. His trading firm is in the dye business. It is to import foreign paint and sell it to the local textile mill. I don't know much about it. Anyway, I don't need to participate. Wang Yu arranged for me to sit at a position near the door. It is relatively independent. It looks like the so-called front desk position. I understand what he means. This position is independent from other colleagues and won't let me speak nonsense." I could also observe everyone who came in and out and help Wang Yu read everyone's face. The arrangement was really perfect. As for the place to stay, Wang Yu arranged for me to stay in a very small room on the second floor of the commercial store. There was only a simple bed and a small table inside, and there was no other furniture. The other employees were all locals and went home at night. Wang Yu's arrangement saved me the money to help me find a house. Secondly, there was someone to help him look after the commercial store. I killed two birds with one stone again. After settling down, I went to work and rested every day. My days were quite leisurely. I had indeed helped Wang Yu look at many people and saved her a lot of trouble. Actually, I didn't need to use the knowledge I had learned at home to look at people. I only needed to observe their faces to know a thing or two about them. I had lived in a rich family since I was young and had seen many kinds of people. I still had this ability. Basically, the people who went in and out of the trading firm were all businessmen."Therefore, there was no big wave until one day, an old man suddenly came to the trading company. He was dressed in Taoist clothes and had a snow-white beard. He looked like an immortal from the sky. Although I was sitting at the door, I didn't seem to have the right to guard the door, so I didn't stop him. The Taoist went in directly. Wang Yu happened to be meeting a foreign client that day, so the old Taoist waited. He said that he wanted to see Wang Yu in person. After waiting for about half a day, the foreign client left." When Wang Yu went out to send the guests off, the first thing the old Daoist said when he saw Wang Yu was that it was too late! Although Wang Yu had a background of studying abroad and ran such a big business, she also firmly believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that I knew a little and brought me back. Hearing the Taoist priest's words, she turned pale with fright and quickly let the Taoist priest into her room. Before the Taoist priest entered the room, he turned around and looked at me, saying,"You come in too!" It wasn't a discussion, but an order. Wang Yu waved her hand, and I entered as well. Wang Yu quickly asked the old Daoist what he meant by it was too late. The old Daoist explained that Wang Yu was probably targeted by an evil spirit. He had wanted to tell him on the ship, but because of other matters, he had been delayed. He only came today. However, when he saw Wang Yu, he felt that it was already too late. He meant that Wang Yu's life couldn't be saved. She would die in three months! When Wang Yu heard this, she fell to the ground and kowtowed loudly. She said that no matter what, she would ask the master to save her. If she could really escape this calamity, she would support the master for the rest of her life. The old priest's eyes were closed tightly. Otherwise, he would look at me and ask me sternly if I had encountered anything. I was shocked and afraid. Seeing that this person in front of me was not a swindler in the Jianghu, I told him everything that I had encountered in Green Tree Town in detail. After the old priest heard it, he said, actually,"Wang Yu was originally fine, but she was unlucky to have met me. Actually, I should have been the one to die because the black fog that I met that night surrounded me. I was marked by the evil ghost. Although the farmer saved me, I was marked and could not escape the fate of death. The old priest also said that the two farmers should have died tragically by now. It was I who killed them. Now that Wang Yu has met me, I brought misfortune to him. Wang Yu hurriedly told me to leave after hearing that."" Is it okay?" The Daoist shook his head and said," It's fate that we met each other. However, our fate is ill-fated. Moreover, meeting each other is destined. In other words, Wang Yu will meet me sooner or later and die sooner or later. In fact, there was still a way to resolve it. If it wasn't for the fact that I was delayed by something and stopped me from staying in the trading company, I might have been able to save Wang Yu's life. But now, it's still the same sentence. It's too late!" Wang Yu was a grown man, but at this moment, his face was pale as he collapsed on the ground. I wanted to go over and help him up, but he avoided me like he was avoiding a plague. It seemed that he would regret it to death now. Why did he know me? But the Daoist also said that all of this was destined, but why did I provoke that evil ghost? The Daoist finally said that he had one last method, which was to bring his Eight Trigrams with him tonight at midnight. If the evil ghost came, the Eight Trigrams would confuse him. If he couldn't find it, he might give up and go somewhere else. He asked Wang Yu to be with him tonight and gave us an Eight Trigrams pendant. It was the one I was wearing now. He said that he would hide in a high place at night and that no one was allowed to make a sound no matter what he saw or heard. After saying that, he went out. That night, Wang Yu and I came to a very beautiful mountain in the city. It has a very beautiful name, Red Chicken Mountain. Because it looks like a big rooster crowing, when summer comes, the whole mountain will be covered with small red flowers. It's very beautiful, so it's called Red Chicken Mountain. That should be the highest place we can find, because didn't the old priest say that we should be at a high place? We just kept waiting and waiting. The two of us didn't feel sleepy at all, right? We were about to die, so who would dare to sleep? We just kept waiting. Speaking of which, the weather that night was really good. We could see the stars in the sky. We waited until dawn, but nothing strange happened. Wang Yu was very happy because he felt that he had dodged it. Just as he was thinking about how to thank the old priest, a bolt of lightning suddenly came in broad daylight and struck Wang Yu's head. Immediately, a living person beside him... He turned into a charred corpse! I cried out in shock and collapsed to the ground, almost fainting. I saw that the old priest from yesterday actually appeared on the top of the mountain. He shook his head and walked towards me. The first thing he said was, you should be safe! "I don't understand what you mean by 'I'm safe'. Later on, I found out that I should have been the one who lost my life, and Wang Yu wouldn't have been killed. However, the old Daoist deliberately said that he didn't have much time left and even gave him a piece of gossip to spend the whole night with me. It was equivalent to using his life to replace mine and my life to replace his. We exchanged. Although my soul is dead, my body will live. The evil ghost has been bewitched. He won't look for me anymore. The world will forget my existence.""In other words, from now on, I'm Wang Yu. I don't believe it. I don't understand what's going on. In the end, when I arrived at the trading company, everyone called me Wang Yu. I tried to ask myself, but no one knew me. No one knew. Everyone said that the front desk seat had always been empty. No one had ever sat there! Heavens! "Later, I came to look for me and said that Wang Yu was vicious. Not only was he treacherous, but he was also extremely irresponsible to his family. He ignored his wife and children at home and played with women outside. He even killed someone. Such a person deserved to die. There's nothing to regret if he died in my place! "However, I had to carry this gossip with me for the rest of my life. Otherwise, the evil spirits would come looking for me again. From then on, I used Wang Yu's identity to live and run his trading company dutifully. It could be considered as having a business. However, I didn't come so openly. Later on, I specially gave a large sum of money to Wang Yu's parents, wife, and children in his hometown in the countryside, hoping that they would live a worry-free life. I closed the trading company myself and took the money that I had managed later on to go to another place. During this period of time..."I went home once. Other than my father and some elders in the family, no one knew me. The elders in the family knew how to recognize people and could see my true body. I told them about my experiences over the years. The elders told me to take care of myself, so they followed me out. Perhaps they could sense that I was not in great danger anymore. I originally thought that it would end here. However, bad luck continued to attack me. I even thought about it once... He might as well take off the gossip and die! "Later, I went to a small town. It had been a long time since the incident in Green Tree Town. Although the shadow was still there, the fear had lessened a lot. I stayed in that small town because there were many families who dyed cloth and small textile factories in that town. I could still use my previous relationship to sell some dye. It was there that I met a girl. To be precise, that girl was not from that town. We met by chance." It was because I was hiding from the rain once. It was strange. I was about to go out to buy something when the rain started. I had no choice but to hide under the roof of a merchant. That girl was already there at that time. She didn't look like an ordinary family. She was dressed very luxuriously. She should be a young lady from a rich family. We didn't say anything. After all, it wasn't like this era. It was always impolite to ask a girl rashly. Later, this matter passed. One day... A man suddenly came to the shop and said that he wanted to buy a large amount of dye. According to my experience, even a big dye factory in the city would need a few years to use those dye materials. The small dye workshop here wouldn't be able to use so many. Although it was a profitable business, I still had to ask. Later, the man told me to follow him for a while. The owner would explain it to me. I was curious, so I went. Unexpectedly, after going around, I actually came to a very luxurious residence. I looked on in shock. I didn't expect that there would be such a big family in such a small town. The man asked me to wait and said that he would report to the others. After a while, he led me in. Although the house was big, there was no one else. It wasn't like ordinary big families where servant girls and servants could be seen everywhere. When I arrived at a side hall, the person who came out to see me was actually the young lady from that day. There was actually no one else in the house except for a man who looked like a butler. There was only a beautiful young lady. I think Miss looks very familiar. Could it be because of our encounter in the rain that day? "Miss was very direct when she arrived. She said that when she saw me that day, she fell in love with me at first sight. She was a capable young lady, but her parents had died in a natural disaster and she was left alone. She had no choice but to resign from her job as a servant at home and rely on the things left behind by her parents with the old butler. After she saw me, she hoped that she could entrust herself to me and live a good life. Although it was strange, she was still a beauty. I didn't have good intentions either. I thought that we could get along first and didn't necessarily have to give her a status. That night..." Miss asked me to stay at home for a meal. She personally cooked a table of dishes and drank with me. I realized that the two of us hit it off and chatted happily. That night, the miss insisted on letting me stay over, but I still refused. When I returned home, I had a dream that night. I dreamed that Miss and I were married. It was just the two of us in that mansion. On the night of the wedding, we just lay there. In the end, Miss became two people and said that they were twin sisters. She said she wanted to marry me together! I suddenly thought of the missing twins in Greentree Town. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat and woke up. The next day, when I went to the trading company again, that man was still waiting for me at the door. He said that Miss had invited me, so how could I dare to go? I was so scared that I rejected him. On the third day, that man came again, but I still rejected him. I said that I didn't need to look for me again and that I wouldn't go again. Thank you for your kindness, Miss. In the end, that man really didn't come?，I thought it was over, but one day, when I was at work, I heard someone holding a funeral. Usually, funerals go to the back of the mountain. Why did they come to my shop? " I went out to take a look out of curiosity. I heard everyone talking about a woman who was abandoned by her fiancé and committed suicide. I saw that there were already photos from that era. That photo was hung in front of the funeral procession. The woman in the photo was actually that young lady!!! I was so scared that I quickly returned to my house, packed my things, and closed the trading company. I wanted to go home and hide for a few days. Although I was away from home, it wasn't very far. After running around for a few days, I arrived home. When I saw my parents, I quickly told them about this matter. One of the uncles said that the evil ghost must have seen through my identity and continued to take my life. That woman should have died long ago. She was a scapegoat! "After that, I never went back and lived at home. Although I didn't get married again, I lived in peace all these years. However, that gossip never left my side because that mark was always with me. Until today, there are still many doubts that I don't understand. The twin sisters, Green Tree Town, the dead woman, and the Taoist priest. However, none of them are important. Alright, my story is almost finished. A mark actually moved out of these past events." I'm really emotional!"
After Seventh Uncle finished speaking, his entire person relaxed. However, I knew that the memories of that past were a pain that he could not erase in his entire life. Although I was also marked, at least I still knew who the other party was. I still had Ah Wei and many people by my side to protect me, but Seventh Uncle had always been alone. After bidding farewell to Seventh Uncle, Ah Wei and I rushed all the way back!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810: 41AM
