Story 53 Hide and Seek (2)
The appearance of the mother broke the embarrassment just now, and everyone ate the watermelon with laughter, Lu Zhenan looked at the familiar courtyard, as if he saw a few children playing in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded, "Lu Zhenan, can you be friends with me?" ”
Lu Zhenan was stunned, she looked left and right, except for Zhao Sijia and a few of them, how could there be any children, Chen Wenyuan saw that Lu Zhenan's expression was different, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Zhenan shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just a little emotional, come, eat watermelon!" ”
As I spent more time in the old house, some childhood memories slowly came to my mind......
At that time, Lu Zhenan, Zhao Sijia, Zhang Chu and Chen Wenyuan's grandparents, grandparents and grandparents were all old neighbors living here, so his children would come back here to play as long as they had a holiday.
Lu Zhenan's old house is very famous in one piece, because it has always been rumored to be haunted, of course, in the eyes of Lu Zhenan's grandmother, this is all nonsense, but for children, this is a good place to explore.
And because the house is big, grandma only lives in the front yard, and the backyard and the east and west matching rooms are all idle, when grandma is in good health, Lu Zhenan's uncle proposed several times that he wanted to come back to live together, but he was rejected by grandma!
Later, when my grandmother was not in good health and needed to be taken care of, my uncle's family was reluctant to come back to live! So grandma transferred the house to Lu Zhenan's name in a fit of anger, so that they knew what unfilial piety was!
The backyard of the house is full of mystery for the few of them when they were children, although grandma has repeatedly said that if you don't go to the backyard to play, you can't stop the curiosity of a group of children.
In order to scare them, grandma also told Lu Zhenan a true story about the old mansion......
It was before the liberation, this house was a large landowner surnamed Liang, it is said that he married a total of seven aunts, the most favored of which is that he married a popular actor on his 60th birthday - Rushuang.
Legend has it that this woman is very good-looking, so it aroused the jealousy of the other six wives, who often spoke ill of her in front of Master Liang, saying that she was too young, and that she would definitely not be able to bear the loneliness after entering the door to steal joy, and that her eyes were too foxy, and that if she looked at any man, that man would be very interested in her.
But this Master Liang is not stupid, if he looks ugly, what kind of strength will he marry! The more these old and yellow women said bad things about Rushuang, the more he spoiled Rushuang.
But the good times didn't last long, this old man Liang was old after all, and he had to deal with 7 wives every day, which made his body more and more unbearable, and finally died of exhaustion one night on the bed of the seventh aunt.
These six women finally waited for an opportunity to take revenge on Rushuang, they agreed that Rushuang killed the master, so they forced her to bury the master, Liang Yaozu, the eldest son of the old man Liang, was a captain in the police station in the provincial capital, and he also rushed back after knowing the news of his father's death.
Seeing that one of his own mothers and five aunts were going to execute his father's newly married seventh aunt together, this aroused his great interest, and he also wanted to see who this seventh aunt was, which could make these women want to put her to death one by one.
Sure enough, Liang Yaozu fell in love at first sight after seeing Rushuang, he didn't expect that there was such a good-looking woman in the world, it would be a pity to kill her, and she was two years younger than herself in terms of age!
So Liang Yaozu bluffed his face and said to several aunts, "Nonsense, can this person kill if he says kill?" There is no royal law in your eyes! Besides, can my father's death be blamed entirely on Aunt Seven? He's old and doesn't know moderation yet! ”
As soon as the old man died, Liang Yaozu was the head of the family, who would dare not listen to his words! So Rushuang survived by luck, but why did Liang Yaozu save himself, Rushuang knew that although he was born as an actor, he still knew what courtesy, righteousness and shame were.
Since ancient times, how can anyone marry Lao Tzu and marry a son? Isn't this ****? Rushuang understands that it seems that she will not escape death after all! So she prepared a red wedding dress for herself, and on the night when Liang Yaozu was about to come to her, she committed suicide by jumping into a well.
Liang Yaozu wanted to steal a fishy result but failed, and the person died in his own well, which made him angry and annoyed, so he ordered that the body must be fished out of the well! He felt bad luck when he thought about it, how will he eat the water in this well in the future!
As a result, the people searched in the well for three days and three nights but did not find the body, which once made Liang Yaozu think that Rushuang, this little girl, should not run away with wild men!
But more than one person in the family saw that Aunt Seven jumped into the well too much, this can't be faked! But where did the corpse go? Later, Liang Yaozu had no choice but to dig another well in the front yard, and then the well water in the backyard was cut off, but there was still no place where Rushuang's body was.
First of all, the third aunt came back from playing cards at night, and saw Rushuang standing straight on the edge of the dry well in the backyard, and the third aunt was the most timid among the aunts, and she was scared crazy! When he saw someone, he said, "The seventh is back!" The seventh is back for revenge! ”
She is so crazy, she makes the rest of the wives panic, Liang Yaozu lives in the provincial capital, and at most he can only pick up his own mother, as for the life and death of others, he doesn't care!
Then there was the fourth aunt, she and the next person went to the market, and on the way back met a frightened carriage, the next person pulled her to the side to hide, but the fourth aunt seemed to grow on the ground, no matter how she pulled it, she couldn't pull it, and finally the next person had to save her life first. Needless to say, the man let the carriage run over and kill him at that time!
After that, the rest of the aunts didn't dare to live in the house, because every full moon night, they could hear the sound of singing from the house where the seventh aunt lived before, so the frightened aunts fled for their lives with their private money, and this house also made Liang Yaozu sell it at a very low price.
After hearing this story, Lu Zhenan and the others became even more interested in the backyard of the old mansion, and the ghost of the seventh aunt they knew must still be in the backyard!
So at that time, their greatest pleasure every day was to explore in the backyard, which was originally the best memory of their childhood, but it was not until the appearance of "her" that it all became a lingering nightmare for everyone......
"She" is called Li Xiangning, and she later moved to live on this street with her mother, because she is a foreigner, she will be bullied somewhat, plus she knows that Li Xiangning has no father, she is the product of her mother's unmarried child, and said that Li Xiangning's father is a man with a wife!
