Chapter 350: The Old Woman with One Eye
Previously, they were talking at the gate of the courtyard, but Cheng Luoyan just listened quietly and didn't interject, but now that they talked about themselves, they smiled: "I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Just say, don't worry about me! ”
Lu Duosun laughed: "Listen! The concubine of Lord Leng is a female stream, and she is not afraid of ghosts, you are a dignified battlefield general, but you are afraid of being like this, if you are not shy, I am ashamed of you! ”
Xiang Gong couldn't help but feel a little unbearable on his old face, and pointed at Lu Duoxun and said, "Okay, good!" Don't talk about heroes! If you have the ability, let's spend the night here tonight! Look who's scared! ”
Lu Duosun sneered: "That's what you said!" ”
"That's right! I said it! Do you dare? ”
"Is it the two of us or all of us?"
"Naturally, it's ......, it's all of them!" Xiang Gong hesitated a little, "Everyone came together, so naturally stay together!" ”
If Xiang Gong didn't hesitate, it would be fine, although Lu Duosun said that he was beautiful, but when it came to living in a haunted mansion, he would be a little apprehensive. If Xiang Gong didn't show his timidity, he probably wouldn't have accepted the recruitment, but it could be seen from Xiang Gong's words that he was scared, so he proposed to let everyone participate. This made Lu Duosun see his weakness, thinking that as long as he insisted on it, the other party would definitely retreat, so that he would have face in his heart, and smiled heroically at the moment: "What do you want so many people to do?" It's not a fight with ghosts, what the two of us say, just the two of us, and it has nothing to do with others! ”
Xiang Gong struck a sudden moment in his heart, blushed and said with a forced smile: "Why doesn't it matter, it's not like the two of us are here, since everyone is here, naturally we want to go together, and we want to stay together!" ”
Lu Duoxun folded the fan and put it away. He laughed and said, "It's okay! As long as they are not afraid of ghosts and want to see what ghosts look like, then stay! ”
Zhao Pu smiled and said: "What you say is meaningless, you two bet, why did you get us all involved?" ”
Shen Lun said: "Yes." Although we are not afraid of ghosts, we can't wade into your troubled waters! ”
Xiang Gongyan looked at some fakes coming true, if it was really only the two of them left, then he was really scared in his heart, looking at the ghostly appearance, maybe there were really ghosts! In order to get through. That must have pulled Shen Lun and a few of them in, pretending to be calm at the moment, and said with a smile: "What you say is good, if you are really not afraid of ghosts, stay and see who among us is afraid of ghosts!" How is it? ”
If only I had said it in a normal way. These old guys who have been in officialdom for a long time laughed at most, but now, they have all drunk a lot, and the so-called wine is bold and intimidating, and they all feel a little curious about the feeling of dry clouds, and then Song Qi smiled first: "You don't have to use the agitation method, isn't it just to stay in a haunted house for one night?" No problem! Back in the day. Our village was plagued by rebels, and most of the village died, and Lao Tzu smashed to death two bandits who broke into my house and tried to harm my sister with a hoe, and then hid the corpses under the bed, and slept with the dead people for several days. Compared to that, that's nothing! ”
Cheng Luoyan smacked his lips and said, "Unexpectedly, Lord Song looks polite and polite, and dares to kill people?" To tell you the truth, my sister and I didn't kill anyone before we became my family's guards. Not to mention killing, my sister doesn't even dare to kill chickens! Hee-hee! ”
Xiang Gong pouted: "If you want to say that, Lao Tzu was on the battlefield back then, and there were many things to sleep on the bones of dead people." What's there! - Cheng Dexuan, you definitely don't have such an experience, right? ”
Cheng Dexuan smiled. Said: "I haven't experienced such a disgusting scene as yours, but I used to be Langzhong, and I have seen a lot of dead people, many dead people, the death is very terrifying, there is a peasant woman, because of a quarrel with her husband, this fierce woman in a fit of anger turned her husband upside down and tied up, with a sickle to cut off the flesh on her husband's body, on the face, on the arms, on the chest, on the buttocks, on the thighs, piece by piece, some of the convenience is only the bones are still connected, but it is not dead, lying on the ground and humming, there is blood everywhere ......"
"Alright, alright! Stop it! It's disgusting! Cheng Luoyan frowned.
Xiang Gong also smiled: "Yes! Lao Tzu kills the enemy on the battlefield, it is nothing more than killing it with a knife and a shot, like the peasant woman you said cut the flesh with a sickle, cut it like that, Lao Tzu really hasn't seen it. It's disgusting to think about. - So, ah, the most poisonous woman's heart, this sentence is not wrong at all! ”
When Cheng Luoyan heard this, she glared at him fiercely. Xiang Gong understood, and quickly changed his words: "Of course, I mean those uneducated women. A lady like Miss Cheng who is knowledgeable and courteous is the most kind-hearted. ”
Cheng Luoyan glanced at him again and ignored him.
Xiang Gong drank a glass of wine and looked at Chen Congxin: "What bold experience do you have?" ”
Chen Congxin smiled and said, "I don't have the same disgusting experience as you, but I've really seen ghosts!" ”
"Bragging!" Xiang Gong pouted, "Could it be that you have also been here and met the dead young grandmother of the Zhen Mansion?" ”
Chen Congxin shook his head and smiled faintly: "The ghosts in the world are not unique here!" ”
"Then tell me!"
Chen Congxin took the wine glass and drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "When I was still young, I was probably seven or eight years old." The children's favorite thing to hear is ghost stories, and we had an old woman there who was blind in one eye, and I once asked her how she was blind. She said that she heard from her mother that when she was a child, shortly after she was born, her mother carried her to work in the fields, put her in the shade of a tree in the field, and then did farm work. That day, the sun was very poisonous, and her mother was busy in the field, and she couldn't stop crying, but when she came back, there was nothing to do, and then she didn't care about it. But she cried so badly that her mother didn't care at first, but then she couldn't listen to it anymore, so she went to the ground to look, and saw a crow, pecking at her eyes! She was so frightened that she pounced, but the crow swished and disappeared into thin air! It's like it never happened. But when her mother ran up to her, she saw that her only eye was gone, and only a bloody eye socket remained! ”
Hearing this, Cheng Luojie exclaimed and grabbed Leng Yi's arm tightly.
Everyone also felt numb in their backs when they heard it, and Cheng Luoyan's scream even exaggerated the cold atmosphere. Even Lu Duosun, who was most afraid of heat, forgot to fan his fan, because he could no longer feel the heat, and some were just cold.
Cheng Dexuanqiang smiled: "You won't be making it up, right?" What's so weird? ”
"Weird?" Chen Congxin drank another glass of wine, "Listen down, it's even weirder!" ”
Cheng Luoyan couldn't help but shrink into Leng Yi's arms.
Xiang Gongqiang smiled: "Okay." Look at these ghost stories you made up blindly, what kind of scared people like Lord Leng's concubine? ”
Cheng Luoyan smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid, you say!" What happened later? ”
Women are like this, fear is always not enough to be curious. Chen Congxin glanced at her and nodded. Looking at the pine and cypress of Sensen, he said, "Later, when this old woman was six years old. One day, her mother saw her coming back from outside, and there was blood on her mouth, so she asked her what was wrong? She wiped the blood off. but he did not speak. Later, she saw her a few more times, and her mother thought it was very strange, so she quietly followed her, and as a result, her mother saw her climb a big tree next to the ancient temple at the head of the village. There are often crows landing on it. She put a looper on it and caught the crow, you guess. What does she do catching crows? ”
"Do what?" Cheng Luo asked.
"Eat the crow's eyeballs!"
Cheng Luoyan screamed, this time the voice was sharper and more scary than before, she hugged Leng Yi's arm, Leng Yi could feel the trembling of her delicate body. I knew she was really scared. He patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly.
Xiang Gong's face turned even paler, and said: "By the way, I've heard that crows are monsters from the underworld, and if people eat the crow's eyes, they can see ghosts!" ”
Cheng Luoyan was even more afraid.
Leng Yi said: "What the hell, God." The crow ate one of her eyes, and she ate the crow's eyeballs. This is also called karmic retribution. Nothing, good cause and effect story. ”
Chen Congxin shook his head and said slowly: "I'm not talking about a story, it's a real thing!" Moreover, the story is not over yet. Do you want to listen to it? ”
Unexpectedly, Cheng Luoyan, who was the most afraid, preemptively said: "Say! Of course you have to listen! And then? ”
Later, the old woman often said that she had seen some strange people, and she did not know if they were ghosts. People in the village often saw her talking alone into the air, saying Shinto words. He also said when someone from whom's family would die, and sure enough, that person died. The people in the village said that she was very evil and was very afraid of her, that she was a witch, and asked the children not to play with her. She didn't mind either. When I was born, she was already an old woman, and I remember my parents telling me to hide when I saw her. However, she would tell a lot of ghost stories, which were very scary, and we children always liked to be with her and listen to her tell ghost stories. She even saved my life! ”
Cheng Luoyan was very curious and asked, "How did she save your life?" ”
"That was when I was about seven or eight years old. Once, she said that she saw a wet child following me all the time, and told me to be careful not to go to the water's edge. Because the one with me is a water ghost. I listened to her and didn't go to the river, but I didn't expect that once, I went to the water tank at home to scoop water and drink, and the water tanks in our countryside are very large, and they are as tall as a child like us. But there was only a small part of the water in the tank, so I stepped on the bench and scooped it. I felt my head be jerked down, and I fell into the water tank all at once. There is only half of the water in the tank, and if I stand in the tank, the water will reach my waist at most, and it will not drown me. But somehow, I just stuck upside down in the water tank, my head and chest were submerged in the water, I wanted to climb in and get up again, but I couldn't, it seemed that I didn't fall into the water tank, but the pond,—— there was no place around to borrow strength. Just as I was about to be drowned, someone smashed the water tank, and I was saved, and it was the old woman with the one eye who smashed the water tank. ”
Cheng Luoyan exclaimed: "She is really a god and saved your life." Your family must be very grateful to her. ”
Chen Congxin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and took a breath: "No, my father and mother didn't thank her, but beat her." ”
"Why?" Cheng Luoyan was stunned.
"Because my father said that the water in the tank couldn't drown me at all, and that she deliberately threw me in and then deliberately broke my water tank, and asked her to pay money. I was still young, I only knew how to cry, I looked at her pitifully, and I didn't know how to defend her. She was beaten by my father and mother because she had no money to pay for my family's water tank, her hair was torn off a lot, her nose was blue and her face was swollen, and she smiled at me, which I will never forget for the rest of my life. ”
Cheng Luoyan also sighed and said, "It's really pitiful, there is no good reward for your kindness." ”
Lu Duosun laughed and said, "This is your hellish story? Nothing! ”
Chen Congxin laughed: "It's just the old woman with that one eye, not me." What the hell do I want to hear? ”
Xiang Gongdao: "Of course! This proves that you have what it takes to withstand the test of this haunted house! ”
Chen Congxin said: "For me, what I experienced was more terrifying than the legend of this haunted house, because it was my own experience. Today, it's still vivid! ”
Cheng Luoyan snuggled up to Leng Yi and looked at him with her eyes: "You say! ”
Chen Congxin drank another glass of wine and said slowly: "That was before I took the imperial examination, I was still studying hard for ten years. At that time, I left the countryside and went to study in Fucheng. There is an old woman with her daughter who often comes to our private school to collect clothes and wash them and earn a few pennies to live. We saw her as pitiful, and we often washed their clothes. Her daughter's name was Lianzi, and she was about fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and she was very shy. They didn't get to do the laundry very often, and I could tell that the girl was starving a lot. I saw that she was pitiful, so I quietly gave her food. She didn't want it, so I deliberately soiled my clean clothes and asked her to wash them, and I ate bread or something on the condition that I eat them. She later learned about my trick because I washed my clothes too diligently. She was so grateful to me that she blushed when she saw me. I also found out that I already liked her. ”
Cheng Luoyan said: "You are a scholar, you like a girl who washes clothes, you are really a lover!" ”
Chen Congxin shook his head with a wry smile: "One day, in the cold winter wax moon, lotus seeds were washing clothes in the ice cave by the frozen river. That day, I was reciting on the grass far away by the river. I didn't dare come near her, and she didn't dare to talk to me, just occasionally glance at each other from a distance. Later, I was fascinated by the endorsement and didn't pay attention to her, and suddenly I heard someone shouting for help, I turned around and looked, and her figure was no longer visible in the ice cave, and a few people next to me looked into the ice cave, saying that she had just fallen and stood up, saying that she was dizzy, and she fell down and fell into the ice cave. I knew she must have been so tired that she passed out. I threw down my book, forgetting that the old woman had not let me near the water, and jumped into the hole, and I didn't know what was going on, and we went ashore, and we were all alive. I vomited a lot of water. She's so grateful! So, after that, we're all right. ”
Cheng Luoyan slapped his palms and smiled: "Okay! This story is good, and the ending is perfect! ”
Zhao Pu twisted his beard and said, "If this is over, it won't be called a ghost!" - What happened? Let's move on! ”
