Chapter 30: The Ghost of the Ex-Wife
The home of an acquaintance and friend, in the area adjacent to the water, seems to be called Biqi Town. Since Qin Sanyou had to bring some strange things over, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the security check. So for convenience, we were ready to drive over by ourselves. After calculating the time, it will take about an hour and a half by car, and you can come back the same day when you go on the same day.
After informing the family in advance, they actually sent a relative and friend overnight, saying that they wanted to drive for us. This excessive enthusiasm made it a bit difficult for us to adapt. But after all, it was the kindness of the people, so we let the man drive, and set foot on the road to Biqi Town in the morning.
The weather is already noticeably warmer, and it won't be too cold to wake up early. The air is filled with the vigorous smell of sprouting plants and trees, and it seems that if you smell more, people will also be refreshed. The driver drove extremely smoothly, which gave me a chance to take in the surrounding scenery.
"Wow, look, the river over there is so beautiful!" The huge body of water outside the window caught my eye, flat like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight sprinkled in the sky, and the time was staggered, and the golden scales were shining, which made people feel a wonderful feeling of "looking for Fangsi waterfront on the day of victory, and the boundless scenery is new for a while".
"Beautiful, this is not a river, it's Pingyang Lake," the driver said, with a proud smile on the corner of his mouth: "Pingyang means by sunshine." So the best time to see the lake is when the sun is shining right now. When you see this lake, it's almost time for us. â
Sure enough, looking to the other side of the lake, there were faintly villages standing at the foot of low hills, clusters of flowers clustered together.
"Eh, Xiao Qi, you don't look very old, why do you drive so well?" Qin Sanyou asked.
"Hey, the old uncle has won the award, I was supposed to do this!" Xiao Qi laughed a few times, "I'm the driving school instructor in the town, and I came out to work after graduating from junior high school, how can I be like Xiao Qin, and I have also been abroad!" â
Although Qi Yang looks young, his skin looks very dark, probably caused by perennial exposure to the sun. However, this skin color is called his face, but there is a sense of athlete's health, well, a little like Lu Yao.
Qin Chuyi, who was sitting next to me, dozed off as soon as he got into the car for five minutes, his mouth was half open and saliva was about to flow down, and he was probably watching Zhou Gong cook in a dream at the moment. I looked at his womanly pink face, and I really wanted to take him out for three days and three nights. Qin Sanyou turned around and asked me to wake him up, saying that it was almost there.
I poked him hard in the waist a few times, and he woke up violently, his eyes wide and he turned his head to look around blankly, like a husky awakened. Special. Other. Two.
After stretching his waist, he didn't care what we talked about before, and asked Xiao Qi with a face: "Qi Yang, tell me about your female ghost." â
"Well, I can't tell, I don't usually live with my sister and them, you better ask them for details." Qi Yang said as he turned the car around and drove into a narrow path with a ribbon-like stream winding beside it, and beyond that was the village and the mountain behind.
The car couldn't drive into the village, so it had to be parked in Qiyang's driving school. A few of us carried our own big bags and small bags, and followed Qi Yang towards his sister's house one after the other.
As soon as I entered the village, the sun that was shining violently disappeared all at once, and all sides entered the shade, and my eyes seemed to be covered with a green veil. Qi Yang said that this was because the angle of the mountain behind it just blocked the light from this side, which formed this huge shadow. I thought to myself, this is clearly not "Pingyang Mountain" but "Pingyang Mountain", no matter how good the environment is in this damp and humid place, no matter how fresh the air is, I don't want to live here.
Not long after, Qi Yang stopped in front of a house that looked quite large. It is a typical self-built building, different from the designed self-built building of Qin Chu's family, except for the large area, it looks no different from the surrounding houses.
When he came here, Qi Yang was obviously much more comfortable, and the master made us tea and ran upstairs to call people.
"Qi Yue! The masters invited by my uncle's family have arrived! Come down! After Qi Yang finished shouting upstairs, he heard two people moving down from the upstairs little by little with slow steps.
Qi Yue, that is, Qi Yang's sister, was attracted by her bulging belly into a huge ball the moment she saw her. Her short thinning hair was draped over her shoulders, and she pulled her pale cheeks into a smile at us. Qi Yue is a typical southerner, with a very small skeleton, which is extremely incommensurate with her huge belly.
Supporting her on the side was a young girl, whose ruddy and fair face was in great contrast with Qi Yue. She wore a light apricot silk scarf around her neck, and wore a bright red coat, and her shiny black hair fell straight over the coat. The girl's posture is very upright, if it weren't for Qi Yue's huge belly, she wouldn't have paid attention to her standing next to the girl at all. Seeing us, her big smart eyes blinked, and she showed a delicate smile the moment she saw Qi Yang.
It's called brilliance.
"Ah, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Zhao." Qi Yang walked to Xiao Zhao's side with an arrow step, and looked at her with special doting, "The one next to me is my sister, Qi Yue." â
"Where is Miss Zhao from?" Qin Chuyi, who had no sense of zĂ i on the side, said coldly, and looked straight at Xiao Zhao with his eyes.
Xiao Zhao didn't expect outsiders to suddenly ask her questions, the smile on her face froze there, and she stammered a little and said, "I...... I'm a local, I live in the village, my name is Zhao Yujing. â
"You've been on the road for so long, you haven't eaten yet. Our village is small and there is nothing to entertain you, so I hope you will forgive me. Qi Yue, who was the hostess, immediately said and hurriedly resolved the embarrassment.
Qi Yue's husband was working in the field and would not be available until the evening. A few of us ate first, and then began to ask Qi Yue about the female ghost.
Qi Yue said, in fact, it is not good to call her a female ghost, and she is a little disrespectful to her ancestors, after all, she is pregnant with a child and wants to accumulate some blessings and virtues. And the so-called relatives are actually the ex-wives of their husbands.
We were shocked. If it is said that the soul of a relative is not separated, it still feels incredible; The ghost of his ex-wife is haunting, so it makes a bit sense, so let her continue to talk about it.
"My husband's ex-wife died when he was 30 years old, and my husband refused to tell him at first. He was a foreigner, and after his wife died, he came to our village, met me, and we were together. Qi Yue said slowly, her hand unconsciously turning the ring on her ring finger, "He was good to me, and it didn't take long for me to get pregnant." But ever since I got pregnant, I've always dreamed of a woman sitting at the head of my bed, looking at my belly, as if she wanted the baby inside. â
"It's just once or twice, but this dream haunts me every day, making me not eat well or sleep well. It wasn't until I sued my husband that he told me the truth. His ex-wife died in childbirth. So we suspect that it was the ghost of her ex-wife who hovered in my dreams when she saw that he had a new family and was reluctant to leave. â
Looking at Qi Yue's face, it can indeed be seen that she is not sleeping enough. The eye sockets are deep-set, and the dark circles are somewhat noticeable. Her body is extremely thin, which can't help but make me feel very similar to Lu Yao's dream.
"If it's just a dream, it shouldn't be anything, just wait for the child to be born." Qin Sanyou said.
"I thought so at first, but the woman in the dream sat there day after day, and the expression on her face became more and more fierce day by day. From time to time, she touched my stomach with her hand, and her long nails looked like they were going to dig in. During the day, as long as I stay at home, I feel that the house is cloudy, as if someone is watching me in the corner, and even sometimes the things in the house will move unconsciously! In a few days, the due date is approaching, and I feel more and more that she will hinder me from having a baby, and even make me die in childbirth like her! â
Speaking of this, Qi Yue's love became excited, and her thin chest shook violently. As soon as a mother thinks that her unborn child will suffer this kind of sin, she will want to protect it if she risks her life.
"We also asked the people in the village before, and they said that it must be that man's ex-wife who has turned into a ghost!" Qi Yang said, his tone improved a lot, "I said that man was unreliable at the beginning!" So how can money come to our village! I also brought a drag oil bottle! â
"Drag the oil bottle?"
"Yes, his ex-wife had a child with him, but fortunately he lived with the child's grandparents." Qi Yang sighed and continued: "I see that man goes out early in the morning, leaving my sister alone at home every day to raise the baby, won't this be sick!" So I came over with Xiao Zhao to help. If it weren't for Xiao Zhao cooking at home these days, my unborn nephew would have starved to death by that man! â
Qi Yue whispered a few words to Qi Yang, asking him not to speak ill of his brother-in-law, and turned his face to us and said, "Don't blame my husband, it's not his fault." As long as you let his ex-wife go well and let my child be born safely, thank you so much. â
After Qi Yue finished speaking, we asked Xiao Zhao to help her upstairs to rest. Qi Yang sat for a while, went to work, and left a phone call for us, saying that he would look for him if there was something.
Qin Sanyou and the others were gone, and suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Daughter-in-law, do you hear me, this is a ghost in a dream, I have to let you show your skills!" â
I shrugged my shoulders timidly, not knowing what to answer.
"Don't worry, with us here, it's good for you to go in and take a look," Qin Sanyou said, "Originally, I thought that the dream that Qi Yue said was just a disguise." â
