Chapter 52: Carrying the Devil
"You mean to say that it was Hu Yao who harmed me?"
"Who else could it be?"
Wang Dayou glanced at me disdainfully, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Bodhi buries the soul pool, the yin spirit brushes through the reincarnation, and the living strayed into the Yellow Spring."
"Anyone who strays into a tree hole is basically dead and dead."
"Your kid is full of yang qi and hard life, so he didn't die on the spot."
"However, it is precisely for this reason that you only have half a life left, and the loss of your shadow is enough to explain everything!"
"Lost the shadow?"
Wang Dayou's words, I didn't understand the previous ones, but the last sentence made me laugh out loud.
"If you don't have fireworks, what are they?"
With that, I raised my arm and shook it under the window.
Suddenly, the sunlight passed through my arm, and soon a shadow formed on the ground.
"Can you be more honest this kid?"
Wang Dayou's mouth was almost grinning on the back of his head, and he also raised his arm.
"Then look, do I have a shadow?"
Following Wang Dayou's arm, I soon found a corresponding shadow on the ground.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"And what if you look at it now?"
As he spoke, Wang Dayou's arm shook in vain, and then he stretched out to the window again.
I don't know what Wang Dayou is trying to say? But he still subconsciously glanced at the ground.
As a result, my whole body trembled completely unconsciously:
On the ground, there is nothing but bare concrete!
No matter how Wang Dayou shakes, there is no change in the slightest.
Is this so possible?
My eyes widened instantly, my mouth opened slightly, and my body stood up uncontrollably.
"You...... What about your shadow? ”
"Just like you, it was taken by the ghost."
"Then your shadow just now is ......"
"That's the shadow of the shadow reflected on me, which can temporarily save my life."
"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
I was completely confused by Wang Dayou, and I couldn't figure out what he wanted to express to me?
Throwing the burned cigarette butt on the ground, Wang Dayou re-lit a cigarette, and then told me a story.
According to legend, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, less than 100 miles away from Jinan Mansion, there was a place called Dongjiazhuang, and there was a large family in the village.
The surname of this person's surname is Dong, and he is called Master Dong.
The Dong family is powerful, and it is a well-known family in the local area, and even the local county lord has to call him a brother and sister.
Don't look at this old man Dong is a fat man who is nearly sixty years old and has a bloated body, but he is married to the wife of the thirteenth aunt.
The youngest was only fifteen years old.
At that time, it was a completely patriarchal society, as long as a man was rich and powerful, even if you married a hundred aunts, no one would care about you.
On the contrary, others may perceive it as a symbol of a person's prominence.
It is said that although this old man Dong has long been unable to do it, he has no choice but to be untouched.
had a chance to go on the street, and I fell in love with a beautiful girl who was fourteen years old, named Cui'er.
Master Dong is used to being arrogant in the local area, and he lets his family rob people on the street.
Cui'er's mother stepped forward to stop her, but she was also broken her right leg by the family.
As for that Cui'er, she was dragged by the family and pushed into a certain room in the backyard of the Dong Mansion.
That night, in Cui'er's terrible screams and cries for help, Master Dong finally succeeded.
It is rumored that Cui'er's cries for help were extremely miserable, and even several families living on the edge of Dongjiazhuang heard Cui'er's cries of Chesdi.
But who is Master Dong? Dongjiazhuang's God, who dares to spoil Master Dong's good deeds?
Therefore, for Master Dong's evil deeds, all people can do is sigh and secretly say that this girl's life is not good.
It is estimated that Master Dong coveted Cui'er's body, and early the next morning, Master Dong gathered all the clansmen in the family.
and announced on the spot that he would accept Cuier as his fourteenth aunt's wife.
Originally, the family had long been accustomed to the old man's hobbies, and they didn't feel any surprise when they heard this announcement.
But the problem is that Master Dong then announced a piece of news that shocked everyone:
Little Fourteen will become his own coffin.
What does Shadow mean?
It is the female partner who will stay in the coffin with Master Dong a hundred years later.
In ancient times, a woman who was generally regarded as a shadow by the head of a clan was equivalent to inheriting all the family property of the patriarch.
In other words, another meaning of Master Dong's words is that all his future property will belong to Cui'er.
This can completely fry the pot.
Not to mention the more than 20 children and grandchildren under the knees of Master Dong, even the thirteenth aunt and wife don't agree?
Even though the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother are dead, there are still eleven aunts and wives still alive.
Everyone immediately objected, but Master Dong's attitude was resolute.
In addition, Master Dong's prestige in the family is very high, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak.
These people, the ones who feel the most are naturally the second grandmother and the thirteenth aunt.
Why?
The second grandmother was the first to enter Dong's house, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters to Master Dong, and it was easy to survive the eldest grandmother, and she thought that she should be the coffin shadow who accompanied Master Dong.
As for the little thirteen, he was occupied by Master Dong at the age of twelve, and it is precisely because he is young that he has always been favored.
didn't think about it, the bamboo basket was empty, and everything he did before was a wedding dress made for Cui'er.
How could she swallow such a breath?
That night, Mrs. Eleven Fang took more than a dozen children and grandchildren of Master Dong behind his back to secretly hold a family meeting.
After the meeting, Aunt Thirteen led the well-bought family out at night and killed Cui'er's father and relatives.
As for the second grandmother, it was even more important for Master Dong's favorite grandson to serve a cup of poisoned tea to Master Dong.
Master Dong never dreamed that his 8-year-old grandson would harm him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he drank the cup of poisoned tea.
That night, Master Dong bled and died of poisoning.
The next day, while the Dong family was filial piety, they immediately reported to the official.
The whole family spoke in unison, identifying Cui'er as the murderer who poisoned Master Dong.
The official master has already been bought by the second grandmother, and the old man Dong did sleep in Cui'er's room last night.
The servants poured into Cui'er's room like hungry wolves, and soon found arsenic under the bed.
Under some severe torture, Cui'er had already been beaten and her flesh was opened.
Even the flesh on his back was completely rotten, spilling black blood from the outside.
However, Cui'er was a woman with a strong temperament, until she was beaten to death, swallowed her last breath, and did not admit that she poisoned Master Dong.
In that feudal society, women, especially those with no background, were not much higher than dogs.
Seeing that Cui'er was killed, Master Guan hurriedly judged the case, and ordered the officials to throw Cui'er's body to the mass grave for disposal.
The officials answered, picked up Cui'er's body and walked out of the hall.
It's just that the clothes on Cui'er's body are completely rotten, and blood drips to the ground along the corners of the clothes.
A servant probably felt a little disgusting, so he simply tore off Cui'er's clothes and threw them at the door of the yamen.
It was precisely because of this bloody dress that Dongjiazhuang's nightmare began.
