Forty-Four

“Master Bai, want to go out?”

Just a short distance away from the door of the house, he bumped into Yamada head-on.

Bai Wei doesn’t dislike this middle-aged man who runs a business to make a living.

“It’s a bit of a misfortune for you to come. I have to go out for a while. I don’t have any tea today.”

“Ah, that’s really a coincidence…” Yamada touched the top of his head, which was getting thinner, and said with a smile, “Your tea tastes very good.”

“Come here on purpose,Did the company give an answer? ”

“Not really. It’s still under discussion, and there’s no movement from the Sanada group, so it’s not a big deal. I just came here to take advantage of the situation.” Yamada laughed at himself, “Say something that might not be useful.”

Bai Wei smiled indifferently: “It seems that it’s not easy for you.”

“Hey, let’s go to each other. Is it okay for you to just go out like this?” Yamada paused and said, “Or, let me handle things with you. As long as I’m by your side, the Sanada group shouldn’t…”

“The Sanada group is a hammer. They are struggling with medical expenses.” Bai Wei said this in Chinese.

“What?” Yamada didn’t understand.

“I happen to have nothing to do today. I just sent a letter.”

“Alright, let’s go together, my side happens to be in the same direction.”



The matter of sending the letter was quickly completed, and Bai Wei looked back at Yamada who was waiting.

The middle-aged man’s face is obviously tired, and the dark circles under his eyes are heavy. More importantly, he can feel his weakness.

Simply staying up late won’t be so empty. There are other reasons that caused his physical condition to decline rapidly.

A better proof than the others is that the exclamation mark above his head has lit up.

A pale yellow exclamation mark.

Bai Wei has almost understood that the exclamation point is equivalent to a reminder of the “dangerous value”. The closer it is to red, the more dangerous it is. If it turns completely black, it means that it is infinitely close to death.

Showing yellow means that it has already swam on the edge of danger.

“Are you okay?” Bai Wei asked, “It looks like you’re sick. Consider going to the hospital?”

“I plan to go, probably because I’ve been overworked during this time.” Yamada smiled: “It doesn’t matter.”

“I’m going to pay homage to the shrine in Hanagi Town, do you want to come with me?”

“Huashan Town… It’s fine, but before that, I want to go to another place.” Yamada stood up on his knees, almost stumbled and fell, but Bai Wei raised his hand to support him.

“Thank you.” Yamada sighed weakly.

The infection caused by evil spirit is similar to the fever caused by wound infection. It is basically no problem to go to the shrine and purify it with spiritual energy.

However, Yamada still insisted on going to another place first, and Bai Wei followed the trend out of curiosity about the exclamation mark.



The place I came from was a cemetery in Hanaogi Town.

In the cemetery, there are a lot of stone tablets. Yingzhou has a lot of people and little land. After death, people are basically cremated and put into stone tablets. The larger the city, the more scarce the cemetery is. It is not cheap to buy a cubic meter of cemetery .

That’s why some people choose to keep the ashes of their family members at home to pay respects to them. For example, Liu Shengshuangyue did this.

People in Yingzhou believe that their dead relatives have become Buddhas, so it is the funeral business of the temple. Naturally, this group of monks is very rich. On the contrary, onmyojis and witches do not deal with business related to life and death… But the shrine society does and marriage It is true that the relevant businesses have performed their duties.

Yamada came to the corner of the cemetery, put flowers and incense candles, brought tribute, and quietly knelt in front of the tomb and began to pray.

What he paid homage to was not the tomb of his relatives, but the name “Yoshino” was written on it.

At the same time, resentment remained on the tombstone.

Looking around, there are actually quite a few residual obsessions and resentments in this cemetery. How can there be so much freedom before life and death? It is normal to commemorate the mortal world, but the residue on this tombstone is particularly strong, and even formed Bai Weineng. see the entry.

ã€Shackles of resentment】

The lingering resentment formed a chain, like a shackle, firmly bound Yamada’s shoulders.

Kneeling to worship the dead, he looked like a prisoner being escorted, with his hands folded in front of his body, imprisoned by shackles, humbly begging for forgiveness.

The owner of the tomb did not welcome his arrival at all.

Waiting for the end of the worship, Yamada’s complexion not only did not improve, but became worse.

“It’s been a long time.” He was out of breath after walking a few steps.

“Sit down and rest for a while.” Bai Wei picked up the tribute, unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it over.

Yingzhou’s tributes will be taken away after worship, and if they are not taken away, they will only be eaten by crows or other animals.

Because he took it, the owner of the tomb didn’t have any extra reactions, and it didn’t indiscriminately erode everyone around him.

“Thank you.” Yamada took the water bottle, took a sip, and took a breath. He gently stroked the bumps on the barley tea bottle: “Boss Bai, you don’t ask anything.”

“Everyone has a story, and when they want to tell it, they will tell it naturally. I don’t like to ask other people’s secrets, and I hope others don’t ask me.” Bai Wei’s answer is very emotional.

“Yeah, when you want to say it, you will naturally say it, but being held accountable makes you feel bad.”

Yamada lowered his head, his desire to confide had reached its peak, and it was natural to tell these stories.

“Every time I come to worship, my mood doesn’t get better, but I still come here from time to time. If I don’t come, I will gradually forget it. I am worried that I will forget it. Once I escape once, I will forget it later. will remain unseen.â€

His throat rolled, and after swallowing the spit with difficulty, he said in a hoarse voice as if he were crowning himself with a crown of thorns.

“The Yoshino family… was killed by me. It was I who killed their family and ruined their family.”

As soon as his eyes were in a trance, in the blink of an eye, it seemed that he had returned to eight years ago.

eight yearsThe former Yamada was a salesman who had just joined the company. He was ambitious and had a strong desire for money and social status.

He runs business outside every day, constantly reserves land for the company, and in order to get customers to sign the land sale contract, he dares to say almost anything and make any promises.

For this reason, he did a lot of bad things, and added small traps in the contract, asking for kickbacks, but at most he could only endure a few reprimands, and it was over by bowing his head and giving gifts. Middle class, climbed to a decent position.

Just when his career was progressing smoothly, he encountered a snag. At first, he didn’t pay much attention to it, and thought of using the old methods to fool him, but the other party’s persistence was far more difficult than he thought.

This is the Yoshino family. It is said to be a family, but there are only two father and daughter. They run a wagashi shop, a time-honored shop, which is quite famous in the vicinity, but their shop has been planned as part of the development. If you want to take a detour , it is necessary to revise the plan, which is a huge investment, which means that many land acquisitions in the past have become invalid land acquisitions.

It took Yamada several months of hard work, but all of them were stopped. Even if the price was three times higher than the market price, he couldn’t win it. There was only one reason – this wagashi shop has a history of 300 years. The general has praised it, and it must not be allowed. This is also Yoshino’s wife’s last wish.

At that time, Yamada couldn’t listen to these words. In his opinion, the other party was just greedy, but he really couldn’t offer a higher price. After thinking about it, facing the pressure from the upper echelon, he chose the choice he regretted most in his life.

He took the initiative to ask another department of the company to help.

Originally, Yamada thought that at most, he would hit people with his hands, or smash up the shop, and add some threats.

But he was wrong.

At that time, the Sanada group was equally ambitious. They just established wanted to establish their prestige through fierceness and make a name for themselves in the Kanto Union.

After receiving a new job, he naturally thought about how to do it ruthlessly. From the initial threats to the subsequent smashing of the store, Yoshinoya still insisted on opening, and even aroused the anger of the neighbors, driving Jidao away several times.

This made Team Leader Sanada furious, and finally chose the method of kidnapping to force Yoshino to submit. It should have ended here, but the situation got out of control.

Even if old man Yoshino signed, his daughter could not come back safe and sound.

Judging from the results, his daughter was not defiled by the Yakuza of the Sanada Group, but by a group of delinquent teenagers.

——This is actually not uncommon in Yingzhou. It is not uncommon for young women to be kidnapped by hooligans.

These teenagers were all sent to the juvenile detention center. No one knows whether there is revenge from the Sanada group behind this, but the life of Yoshinoya’s daughter has been ruined.

She chose to end her life with a white rope.

After his daughter’s death, old man Yoshino also went half-crazy. He rushed into the Sanada-gumi’s office on a heavy rainy night.

On that rainy night, Yamada came back drunk from the company’s celebration banquet and met the dying old man Yoshino.

He knelt on the ground, knowing what happened before and after, and watched the old man die with his own eyes.

Until he was about to die, he stared at Yamada with hatred, and he would not die with regret.
