Chapter 38: The Faceless Man
As soon as she finished speaking, the pillar stood up screaming, Cao Xiaoyang was frightened for a while, thinking that what Granny Li said was true, and hurriedly ran away.
Cao Xiaoyang ran away and looked back again, and found that the pillar had just opened the door of the courtyard and entered his house.
This is Granny Li walking up to Cao Xiaoyang and instructing him: "Young man, it's very dangerous here, don't come here if you have nothing to do." ”
That evening, Bai Xiaoyan woke up from his deep sleep, Cao Xiaoyang told him everything he had seen and heard during the day, and the two discussed it, and they both felt that there was a big problem with the Zhuzi family, and they planned to go over together at night to investigate again.
At this time, Tang Wenwen was lying in the room resting, just now when she was having dinner, Granny Li enthusiastically put a lot of vegetables into her bowl, but she had to eat two bites, but the ghost dared to eat human food will produce a serious rejection reaction, after returning to the room, she immediately vomited out what she had eaten, and now her body has become a little weak.
Cao Xiaoyang originally planned to go to see her again before going out, but at this time, he heard Tang Wenwen's scream from the next room, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan hurriedly ran over, and found the dog standing at the door stupidly, holding a red embroidered shoe in his hand.
"Beautiful sister, I'll give you a gift, can you be my daughter-in-law?"
At this time, Granny Li soon ran over, and saw that her grandson was stupid in the guest's room, and she was so angry that she slapped the dog in the face twice, and then pulled him to the yard to repair it with a broom.
Cao Xiaoyang looked a little embarrassed from the side, and had to persuade a few words.
"Granny Li, forget it, the child is not sensible, it's okay to scold a few words. ”
Despite this, Granny Li still beat the dog egg several times to dissipate her anger, and then she saw that the dog was still holding a red embroidered shoe in her hand, so she snatched it over and handed it to Cao Xiaoyang.
"I'm really sorry, tomorrow I will personally take this turtle grandson to apologize to the girl, and you will be bothered to send these shoes back to her. ”
Cao Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "This is not her shoes." ”
Although Tang Wenwen is a ghost, she died in modern times, so her dressing still completely follows the habits of modern people. The reason why Granny Li mistook these shoes for Tang Wenwen's may be because she saw Bai Xiaoyan who came with her peers was dressed as an ancient.
"Not a girl......'s?
As he spoke, he turned around and took the embroidered shoe and knocked it on the dog's head.
"Dog, where did these shoes come from, did you steal them!"
The dog squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and cried, and Granny Li was anxious and angry.
"Ouch my, why do you keep doing these dirty things, your father's face is about to be lost by you, you are going to be angry with me!"
As he spoke, he was about to whip him again with his embroidered shoes, when the dog suddenly stood up and said, "It's his wife's!"
As soon as he said this, Granny Li suddenly fell there, as if something terrible had happened in an instant, and it took a long time to come to her senses.
"Dog, what are you talking about, don't talk nonsense, you're lying to grandma, aren't you?"
Saying that, Granny Li actually bent down and cried, Cao Xiaoyang and the others thought that she was angry with the dog, thinking that after all, she was such an old person, so she hurriedly went over to help, and said a lot of comforting words, and her emotions were slowly calmed down.
After that, Granny Li found a brazier and burned the embroidered shoe.
When it was burned, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan still had some doubts, thinking that it was just an embroidered shoe, as for such a fuss?
But just as the shoes were about to burn, a gust of wind suddenly hung in the yard, and then a black whirlwind flew up beside the dog, and then surrounded his body.
In the whirlwind, the dog let out a painful scream, and Granny Li was so frightened that she wanted to rush into the black whirlwind to save her grandson, but she couldn't get over at all.
After Cao Xiaoyang took over the Linglou, he mastered the primary Yin and Yang Eyes, and could see ordinary ghosts, at this time he looked at the black whirlwind, but he didn't find anything unusual, it seemed that it was an ordinary whirlwind.
At this time, Bai Xiaoyan flew into the whirlwind and rescued the dog, but at this time he had already fainted, and his whole face had become bloody and blurred, and his facial features had disappeared.
After that, Granny Li hurriedly asked someone to send the dog to the nearest hospital in the county.
After they all left, Cao Xiaoyang looked at the swirling bloodstains on the ground and asked Bai Xiaoyan, "What did you see just now?"
Bai Xiaoyan shook his head. "Nothing, it's just a special force. ”
Although he couldn't figure out what that black whirlwind was, Cao Xiaoyang could already determine that it was the reason for the formation of those faceless people in the village.
The next day, Granny Li asked Goudan's mother to stay in the hospital to take care of him, and she returned to the village first. In order to repay Bai Xiaoyan for saving her life last night, she took two hundred yuan and wanted to hand it over to Bai Xiaoyan.
"It's a bit of a small amount of money, but I hope you don't dislike it. ”
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang said: "The money is really not needed, you should keep it for the dog to heal his injuries." We hope you can tell us about the pillar now, it's time for you to stop hiding it, maybe we can help you by saying it. ”
At this time, Granny Li covered her mouth and said with a crying voice: "It's all my fault for that stinky dog, it's okay to steal that embroidered shoe for what, as long as you have a little relationship with her, it's not good." ”
"Is that 'she' you talking about the daughter-in-law of the pillar?"
Granny Li nodded.
"Yes, but she is not the original partner of the pillar, because the pillar himself has a daughter-in-law, which is the child daughter-in-law that his parents originally raised for her, and after her father and mother died, the two inherited the family's grocery store, and they lived a good life in our village.
Their family is the only grocery store in our village, and people in the village can only go to his house to buy any oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or daily necessities, so his family's business is very good, and the pillars have to go to the city to buy goods at two ends in three days.
Our transportation here is not developed, and until now the car can't drive in, so the pillar uses the family's donkey cart every time it buys goods.
Three years ago, on the winter solstice, it snowed heavily in the south, which had not snowed for many years, and it was just one night, and a thick layer of snow was piled up on the road.
That day, Zhu drove the donkey cart to the city to buy goods, and when he came to the third crossing, the cart suddenly couldn't move, and he got out of the car to take a look, and found that something seemed to be hanging on the wheels in the snow.
He dug through the snow and saw that there was a frozen hand in the snow that was clutching at his wheels, and the pillar was frightened, but it was about to get dark, and he couldn't get home until it was dark.
The road in our mountains is very dangerous at night, and there are often wild beasts, but no one dares to walk at night. There was no way, so the pillar had to dig out everything under the wheels, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was a beautiful girl.
Zhuzi thought that maybe this girl was walking alone in the snow, and she fell on the road because of her physical exhaustion, and finally was buried by the heavy snow little by little.
The pillar had a good heart, and thought that it was really pitiful for this girl to lie alone in the snow, so he planned to take her home and find a better place for her to bury the next day.
As soon as the pillar had this thought, the girl's hand that had been holding the wheel tightly unexpectedly let go of itself, and the pillar sighed, thinking that this might be a kind of fate, so he carried the girl into his donkey cart.
When he returned home, Zhu Zi told his daughter-in-law about this, and his daughter-in-law was also a good person, and thought that Zhu Zi had done the right thing, and then took some incense wax from the grocery store and planned to burn it for the girl.
But just when the couple was going to carry the girl's body out of the car, they suddenly found that the girl actually woke up, and the pillar couple was overjoyed, it turned out that the girl should have fallen in the snow and was hit by the pillar for a while, at that time her body was frozen but not out of breath, and then she bumped all the way on the donkey cart of the pillar, and finally woke up.
The girl told the couple that her name was Zhang Yulan, the daughter of a tea merchant in the next village, and that she ran away from home because of a conflict with her family, and accidentally fainted in the snow on the way to the road.
After that, the Zhuzi couple left Zhang Yulan at home, thinking that they would send her home when she was well-healed, but then Zhang Yulan told the Zhuzi couple that she didn't want to go home, even if she went back, she would still run out again, and she strongly begged the Zhuzi couple to take her in for a long time.
Zhang Yulan is not only beautiful, but also very diligent, since she came to Zhuzi's house, she has almost taken care of all the housework, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law is relaxed all of a sudden, and her mood is also very happy, and finally the couple discussed it, and finally agreed to leave Zhang Yulan behind.
Zhuzi's daughter-in-law was five years older than him, and Zhuzi began to have sex with her at the age of sixteen, but until he was thirty, his daughter-in-law failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter.
We mountain people, the concept of inheritance is more important, if the generation is broken, that person will not have the face to see the ancestors after he dies.
So the neighbors suggested that the pillar marry the Zhang Yulan as a little wife, and let her come to inherit the family lineage.
Zhuzi is an honest man, he didn't agree with this at first, after all, Zhang Yulan is young and beautiful, he feels that he is really not worthy of others, not to mention that he still has a wife.
But living under the same roof with such a beautiful girl for a long time, Zhuzi is still really a little tempted by this magnolia, especially when his daughter-in-law is not at home, he always thinks about how good it would be if he married this magnolia as a daughter-in-law.
Later, the neighbors persuaded the pillar to marry a little wife, and the matter gradually reached the ears of his daughter-in-law, this kind of thing The daughter-in-law of the pillar was naturally unhappy, but she had no choice, after all, her stomach was not angry, and she couldn't blame others.
After thinking about it, in the end, she finally agreed to Zhuzi marrying Zhang Yulan as a little wife, and after passing the pass of her daughter-in-law, Zhuzi thought that as long as Zhang Yulan herself agreed again, then this matter would be done. ”
