Seven: People from the underworld

The sister-in-law sells steamed cakes during the day, and at night she counts the money under the lamp, and one day when she counts the money, she counts a piece of money from the underworld, and she doesn't care, and throws it on the ground.

There are many mountains around Maigao Bridge, many cemeteries, and there are constant funerals every day, and money in the underworld is everywhere. I'm afraid this money will come with the wind.

However, for a few days in a row, she found out that the money from the sale of cakes contained money from the underworld, and she felt very strange. She thought about it, but she couldn't think of why.

The mother-in-law was coaxing the child to sleep, and the sister-in-law called the mother-in-law over and told her about it. She showed her mother-in-law the money from the underworld.

The mother-in-law was also surprised, and she said, "You are not mistaken. ”

The sister-in-law said: "I am busy selling cakes every day, I don't pay attention to which people buy my cakes, and I don't take a serious look at the money they give me, and I don't know how this money came from."

"When I was closing the stall, I put the money in a bag, and I didn't see the money. This has been going on for a few days. I can't figure it out. ”

The mother-in-law said, "So it's said that someone from the underworld has come." What did he want to do with the money from the underworld here? When did he put it in the money?

"If he's here to buy cakes, what is he going to do with them? He risked his life to buy cakes in broad daylight, and I would like to find out about such a thing.

"Tomorrow I will hand over the child to the grandmother next door to watch. I'll collect the money for you. Let's see what's going on. ”

The next day, the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law went to sell cakes together, and the sister-in-law sold the cakes and the mother-in-law collected money. The mother-in-law collected the money very carefully, and she put the money she received into a small bag.

At the end of the day, she didn't notice anything wrong. At night, the mother-in-law held the child and watched the sister-in-law count the money under the lamp.

The sister-in-law opened the bag and poured the money on the table, and they were surprised to see that there was a piece of money from the underworld inside.

The sister-in-law didn't know whether this matter was a curse or a blessing, and she was unconsciously a little nervous. He said, "I sell cakes on the bridge, and the bridge is to ward off evil spirits." Nothing like this should happen.

"Today's money was put into the bag by the two of us. I stabbed my mouth to death when I put it on. I always felt that this thing was not normal.

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing. I'm even more afraid that the dirt will get entangled in me. I was very worried. It's better to take precautions.

My mother-in-law is old, and she sees and hears a lot. She has the bottom of her heart. "Don't be afraid, things will work out," she said. ”

The mother-in-law picked up the money from the underworld and looked at it, and she said, "I understand, there must be people from the underworld who come to buy cakes."

"This money is money during the day, but after dark, it is the money of the underworld. He can go to the bridge to buy cakes during the day, and there must be a god to help him.

"I'm going to sell cakes with you tomorrow, and I'm going to find out who this person is. I'm going to find out what he buys the cake for. Why should the gods help him. ”

The next day, my mother-in-law paid attention to everyone who bought cakes when she collected the money, and after a few days she noticed a young woman who came to buy cakes every morning.

She had bought the cake and walked up a path, and she disappeared behind a grove of trees on the southern slope of the mountain.

The mother-in-law saw that she was very delicate and well-dressed, and knew that she was from a large family. The mother-in-law carefully put the money she gave in the pocket of her clothes.

In the evening, when the sister-in-law counted the money, the mother-in-law took out the money from her pocket, and they were surprised to see that it was a piece of money from the underworld.

The mother-in-law said that this person had been found in the end. She is a young and beautiful woman from a large family. She is from the underworld.

My sister-in-law said: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing for her to come to buy my cakes, and I'm afraid that she will bring disaster to me." Do you want a mage to drive her away? ”

The mother-in-law said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of me in this matter, people in the underworld don't eat fireworks in the world, she must have another purpose for buying cakes every day."

"This woman is very kind-faced, and she has no malice in buying cakes. This is a strange thing, and we must find out why.

"You must listen to me, and do not make a mistake, for the gods will not agree to it. If you offend the gods, it becomes a bad thing.

"Don't tell anyone about it. Don't mistake good things for bad things and do things you shouldn't do. I have my own way.

The sister-in-law said, "I know, I listen to you." ”

The next day, the mother-in-law noticed that the woman had come to buy cakes again, and when she gave her money, the mother-in-law noticed a slight chill on her body. You can't feel it if you don't pay attention.

Her hair is combed carefully, and her headdress is very elaborate. Her face was lightly powdered, and her eyes were large and dull, smiling slightly.

When she reached for the cake, her mother-in-law saw that her hands were ten fingertips and her nails were very long. The hands are very white, and there is no blood on the hands. With a big ring.

The mother-in-law knew it. She waited for her to buy the cake and walked quietly up the hill. The mother-in-law greeted her sister-in-law and said that she would come back immediately if there was something. She followed the woman up the hill.

The sister-in-law buried herself in making cakes, but she didn't see the woman. The mother-in-law said that there was something to go, and she nodded to indicate that she understood. She didn't pay attention to where her mother-in-law went.

Without looking back, the woman walked into a graveyard behind the woods, where she suddenly disappeared in front of a large grave.

The mother-in-law followed behind and saw very clearly, and she went into the cemetery to carefully inspect the large tomb, which was a new one. The tomb has not yet been erected.

She knew that this tomb belonged to a large family in Nanjing not long ago, and the ceremonial guard on the day of the funeral was very magnificent. It attracted a lot of onlookers.

That day, the mother-in-law held the child to see the excitement. The people on the road were talking. There are people who know the details and give speeches everywhere in order to show off themselves.

My mother-in-law also heard about a strange thing. A few days ago, two tomb robbers came to rob the tomb late at night, and they were just about to do it, and they didn't know why they hurriedly packed up and left.

The mother-in-law found the person who guarded the mountain, claiming to be a distant relative of this tomb, and she did not know how they were doing now and where their family lived after many years.

The mountain keeper asked her something, and he replied with life experience and hearsay.

The mountain keeper believed the truth and told her about the owner of the tomb. The mother-in-law asked some things casually and figured out some information about the family.

The mother-in-law made an appointment for a mule cart to go into the city for business, and the next day she hitched a ride into the city. She found the family according to the information introduced by the mountain guard.

The mother-in-law stood in front of the door of the house, and she sighed very much at the two big white lions in front of the door. It is a symbol of the nobility of the family.

My mother-in-law thought it was really a big family. And it's not an average big one. It must have been cultivated by generations of good deeds. The mother-in-law envied them from the bottom of her heart.

She slowly walked up the steps in front of the door, and called the porter to inform the master that she had a big matter to meet the old lady.

The porter did not dare to slack off and hurriedly went to report, he said: "There is an old woman from the country who has come to the door, and she must see the old lady and say that there is something big to tell her." He also said that he could only say it when he saw the old lady.

"I don't think she's here to eat. She asked me to tell the old lady that she knew about it.

"Her demeanor is also very generous, not at all afraid, I think she really has something to report to the old lady."

The old lady felt very strange, she sat on the Taishi chair and said with a smile that there are many strange things in the world, and there are many strange things in the world.

"An old lady from the countryside came to see me for no reason, and she actually knew that there was an old woman in the house, which was strange, and it was even stranger to say that there was something big to tell me.

"What big can a country woman do? Since she is here, let her come in and talk to me. To be honest, I'm looking for someone to hang out with me.

"It's good that someone has come to relieve my boredom now. I also want to hear about the big things happening in the countryside. You guys listen to it, it must be fresh and good.

"Go and invite her in, and I'll see her. She might as well come to mix rice and eat. It's worth it to be able to tell a joke or two, and to give her a meal or two.

"She can make me cry or laugh at me, and I'm rewarded. I could have asked her to stay a few more days if I was happy.
