Chapter 1: The Ghost Wife's Wedding Dress
It was already late at night, so I gently put down my pen and got up and walked to the window to look out at the land under the stars, where three police cars were parked under the dim street lamp. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this time, the mobile phone on the table vibrated and I picked it up and looked at it and connected it.
"Brother Feng, I got inside information here, Tiaozi is going to arrest tonight, our side is ready, you come out of the underground garage Area B, this is the blind spot of police monitoring, we will answer you here."
I sighed and said, "No, it's time to finish." β
"Brother Feng, you ......"
I calmly hung up, put it back on the couch, and turned to walk outside.
A gust of wind blew in through the crack in the window, and the ink on the table was still turning around, accompanied by the sound of my leather shoes "da-da" on the ground, faintly, as if a mobile phone was ringing......
I sat in the police car in handcuffs, looking at the receding night scene through the car window, my heart was so calm for the first time, more than ten years of terrifying ups and downs of life finally came to an end, but that unforgettable time will be deeply engraved in my mind, with my life, perhaps, that is the most painful and beautiful memory of my life, but also the most precious spiritual wealth.
β¦β¦
In the early 60s of the last century, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people living in that era had not yet recovered from the joy of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
My name is He Feng, my grandfather He Deming is a private school teacher, in that era, he was a rare person of culture, and it was not easy to survive during the Anti-Japanese War.
Originally, the foreign enemy drove away, and New China was established, and a patriotic person like him should be happy, but I don't know why, at that time, he bought drunk with alcohol all day long, and when he was sober, he simply found something to eat to fill his stomach, and then continued to hide at home and drink.
At first, some of his relatives and some neighbors came to persuade him, but it was useless, and the village cadres usually went out with a black face when they came. After a long time, no one cared about him anymore, and at first there were kind-hearted people who helped him in life, and then no one entered his house again.
A few years later, one of my grandfather's best friends, Wang Zhiyun, who had been uprooted in the war, moved back with his family, and he came to visit my grandfather with his four-year-old son and some gifts.
When he came to the courtyard gate, he was stunned, the adobe yard had long been washed away by the rain, the yard was overgrown with weeds, almost half a man high, and there was only a narrow path in the courtyard, and when he walked in, he also startled a large pheasant hiding in the weeds and laying eggs, which startled him a lot.
He walked to the already broken wooden door, and wanted to knock on the door, but when he saw that the latch on the door had already rusted and broken, his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and he pushed the door open tremblingly.
In fact, he was already cold when he saw this scene in the courtyard, but he still pushed open the dusty door with the only hope he had. The wooden door slowly opened with a dull "squeak", and the scene in front of him made him instantly petrified in place, and his brain went blank.
In the center of the hall was a black lacquered coffin, in front of which was a desk, in the center of which was a blank spirit tablet, and only empty candlesticks were left on both sides, and the white candles inside had long been melted. On the back wall of the desk hangs a large white cloth with the word "lay". According to superstition, the other world is the ultimate destination of human beings, and life has no color to show ultimate liberation, because there are generally only black and white colors in funerals.
However, this word does not seem to be pure black under the reflection of the sun, but feels like ...... Dark red?!
Wang Zhiyun thought that this coffin belonged to my grandfather He Deming, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and when he was about to leave, his son suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Dad, that aunt is running so fast!" β
Wang Zhiyun hurriedly looked up, only to see a weasel popping out of the half-open coffin, and swooped into the hole in the corner.
In those days, people's minds were still very feudal and superstitious, and they all said that unenlightened children could see ghosts, and the weasel was nicknamed Wong Tai Sin, which was very evil, and the son just saw a ghost?
Wang Zhiyun's frightened legs trembled, and he pulled his son, who didn't know what he was afraid of, and turned around and wanted to run, but he was mixed by the threshold and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his son suddenly cried in pain.
"Daughter-in-law, there is a guest coming, get up and have a look."
At this moment, a hoarse voice came, Wang Zhiyun's teeth chattered and looked back, only to see that the coffin board was completely pushed away, and a muffled "boom" smashed on the ground next to him, as if it was smashed on Wang Zhiyun's heart, heavy and abnormal.
A "woman" in a black robe stood up from the coffin, but her whole body was completely covered in black, and she could only see the general outline of the human body, and she couldn't see what she looked like at all.
Immediately afterwards, a skinny man also got up from the coffin, looked at Wang Zhiyun carefully with cloudy eyes, and suddenly laughed: "It turned out to be Brother Zhiyun, come on, come on, let's not see each other for a long time, let's reminisce about the old days." β
Wang Zhiyun didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his heart was very messy, it should be a joy to see that his long-lost brother was still alive, but seeing this situation, he was a little overwhelmed, this is simply too weird.
My son stopped crying when he saw my grandfather He Deming and the woman standing up, and looked at them blankly, and there was no movement for a long time.
Just when Wang Zhiyun was stunned, my grandfather crawled out of the coffin, and Wang Zhiyun saw his appearance clearly. Obviously, people in their thirties have flesh and blood all over their bodies as if they have been drained, their skin and bones, and the flesh on their cheeks are deeply sunken, just like the legendary zombies.
At this time, the woman in black walked to the side room and tinkered, brought a teacup, she didn't speak, just handed it to Wang Zhiyun.
Wang Zhiyun took the teacup in a daze, opened the lid and took a sip, his youngest son was probably a little scared when he saw the man in black, and reached out and pulled Wang Zhiyun's arm.
was pulled by him like this, Wang Zhiyun's hand slipped, and the teacup fell to pieces with a "bang". Wang Zhiyun suddenly came to his senses, and there was an unpleasant smell of fox in his mouth, and it turned out that what he had just drunk was weasel urine.
His stomach churned in disgust, and he bent over and vomited with a "wow".
Suddenly, the scene in front of him surprised him even more, at the junction of the black trouser legs and the black cloth shoes, a few wisps of withered yellow straw were exposed, and when he took the teacup just now, he didn't know what he was crazy about, and he didn't see that the hands were actually made of straw!
"Hell!" Wang Zhiyun was frightened, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he picked up the child on the side and turned around and ran, but he didn't even dare to turn his head back when he arrived at the entrance of the yard.
This scared Wang Zhiyun a lot, and after he went back, he began to have a high fever and talk nonsense, and Lang Zhong, who was invited by the family, was completely helpless. His elderly mother was well-informed, and when she heard her grandson's unclear words, she immediately understood what was going on, and when she found an old man she knew, she told him about it.
The white-bearded old man was estimated to be more than eighty years old, and when he heard such a thing, he concluded that it was a ghost, so he first opened two calming prescriptions and handed them to Wang Zhiyun's daughter-in-law, and then took a female apprentice in his twenties to my grandfather's residence.
Before he could approach the courtyard, the soul bells in his hands began to vibrate, and they rang immediately. He first sprinkled the male yellow seal at the mouth of the collapsed courtyard, and then walked to the door of the hall and sprinkled it again.
His female apprentice didn't need to command, took out a bundle of peach branches from her baggage, looked at the master and nodded, kicked open the wooden door and rushed into the hall, and beat the black lacquer coffin with peach branches frantically, the season was the late winter and early spring, the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and after her whipping, the bright petals flew all over the air, all falling on the periphery of the coffin and on the coffin lid.
A terrible cry came out of the coffin, and when Lao Dao heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sure enough, it's the yellow skin who is playing tricks!" β
The yellow skin he refers to is another name for weasel, and some people refer to it as Wong Tai Sin.
After the screams subsided, the female apprentice took out a handful of peach wood nails and said, "Master, seal the coffin and burn it." β
"Hey, don't worry, don't hurry......" The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand to stop it: "Eighty percent of the yellow skin has been scrapped, don't worry, open the coffin, there is still a living person inside." β
"Living?" The female apprentice was a little unconvinced, but what the master said must not be wrong, she lifted the lid of the coffin vigorously, and a stench instantly spread, and the two hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with the prepared wet gauze.
The old Taoist priest made a move, don't look at his old age and frailty, but his movements were extremely fast, I saw him shoot like lightning and probe and shrink, and he dragged out a person from the coffin, it was my skinny grandfather.
At this time, he was unconscious, and Lao Dao handed him over to his apprentice to hold, reached out again, and pulled out the woman in black.
At this time, there was no woman in black, the black clothes had long been tattered, and only a scarecrow remained, and there was a nest on the scarecrow's chest, and in it was a weasel covered with scars.
Lao Dao carried the straw man in one hand, and pointed to the blank spiritual position on the desk with the other, and said, "Take that spirit card." β
The apprentice nodded and walked over there, and at this moment, a burst of green smoke suddenly rose from the realgar scattered at the door, accompanied by a terrible scream. Look at the old way, my obedient, a weasel with a peeled skin curled up at the door, his legs and feet have long been scorched by the male yellow, and then look at the scarecrow in his hand, where is there still a trace of the weasel on the chest, only a yellow skin faded there.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard gate, the dilapidated adobe house collapsed, and the dust was mixed with a few final screams.
The master and apprentice returned to their residence, and the female apprentice fried a bowl of Chinese medicine according to the instructions of the old Taoist priest and fed it to my grandfather, and the apprentice said, "Master, what's going on, the yellow skin I met before is not like this." β
The old Taoist priest played with the blank spirit card in his hand and said: "This kind of thing is indeed rare, if I guess correctly, it should be his wife who died, probably because he missed her too much and didn't want her to leave, so he found an unscrupulous Taoist to make a soul card for him, wanting to summon his wife's soul back to be a ghost wife." As he spoke, he flipped over the sign, pointed to the birthday engraved on the back of the sign and said: "This soul card with willow and locust wood is the best choice, but he bought such an expensive rhinoceros horn, the rhinoceros horn is too yin, but it is not suitable at all, originally this soul card is dedicated to the fox fairy, but because of this, it attracted Huang Tai Sin, and made a wedding dress for Huang Tai Sin in vain, which is also his luck is too back, no wonder others." β
The apprentice looked at He Deming, who was unconscious, and sighed: "Although I did something wrong, it was also because of love." β
The old Taoist priest reasoned that He Deming's new wife died tragically in the war, and since then, he has been confused and ignorant of the flow of time, and has been intoxicated in his own world all day long. Since he recruited Wong Tai Sin, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and lived in illusions all day long, and Wong Tai Sin lived in an illusion for several years in order to let him worship himself for a long time and not let him starve to death.
And since breaking this ghost situation, within half a month, Wang Zhiyun has been completely fine, and my grandfather He Deming has also sobered up, but due to the long-term lack of yang energy, his body is a little weak, and the old Taoist priest simply acquiesced to let him temporarily live in his own house to regulate his body.
Soon, a long and vigorous movement broke out across the country, so the three of them simply turned their hearts to each other and hid in the mountains together.
After a long time, the female apprentice of the old Taoist priest and my grandfather actually got along, and then ...... That female apprentice became my grandmother. If according to the normal development of the situation, to my generation may not be reduced to the end of prison, no one thought that this migration road changed the fate of our family, the first is my grandfather and grandmother ββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ hello readers and friends, if you like this book, please collect + vote, thank you!
