A Horror Story of Affection –

Shi Tou was very helpless about Qiu Yun's indifference to him, but fortunately, she did not refuse to live a married life, they were very devoted, lingering, and inseparable to go to Wushan together, but when they fell from the top of the mountain, they became strangers again. Every time Shi Tou tried to talk to her, all he waited for was silence, his breathing was long and short, and he didn't know if he was really sleeping or fake sleeping. Shi Tou had no choice but to turn around and fall asleep, in the dark, he thought, are they husband and wife? No, it doesn't count, the relationship between the two of them is like the relationship between the single bolt in the west of the village and the village flower orchid, the bolt is an old prostitute, and the orchid is a widow, she serves many old prostitutes in the neighboring villages and gets money. How similar they are to them, only physical pleasures, no sincere feelings. He tried his best, bought delicious food, beautiful clothes, and even washed her feet, but in the end, he couldn't get her smile back. But one night, Shi Tou's inadvertent words changed the situation, after they fell to Wushan, Qiu Yun still slept with his back to him, and Shi Tou said: "Do you like to listen to ghost stories?" It was this sentence that made Qiuyun turn his head and say, "You can tell ghost stories?" Shi Tou was surprised by her transformation, and immediately said, "Yes, I will speak, I will talk a lot." Do you want to hear it? "Well," Qiuyun turned around and said, "I've loved ghost stories and folk tales since I was a child. When I was 9 years old, I bought a story book from the bazaar, which is the thin kind, there are more than 20 stories, and the cover is scary, there is a big ancient beauty on the side of the cover, with a white face, a red mouth, two weak and boneless hands are on both sides of the hair ornament, as if she is making up, her eyes are lowered, as if she is looking at the river below, although she did not draw it, but she specified that she was looking at the river, using the water surface as a mirror, she may be a fox becoming, or a lonely ghost, look at her mad appearance, It's definitely a harmful thing. In addition to this, there are also some smaller paintings - a monk with a lamp, with sneaky eyes; An old tree with a trunk full of holes, only a few leaves, and under the tree was a grave, and a skull fell next to the grave, and a yellow-skinned man rode on the skull. The paintings are laid out there unrelatedly, each representing the story behind it. They are etched in my mind and I have never forgotten them. “

"As scary as it sounds, you're unknowingly telling a story. Now, it's up to me to talk about it. Shi Tou said.

Qiu Yun nodded, wrapped in a thin and soft towel quilt.

The protagonist of the story has a simple name, Zhang San. Zhang San is a native of the countryside, he went to the army at the age of 18, served for 10 years, came back to marry his wife, and then returned to the army. As a soldier, he rarely took care of his family, and he did not take the time to come back to visit his wife from pregnancy to childbirth. His wife's name is Tianhua, she is a simple rural girl, without any complaints, she is virtuous and responsible for housework, and she raises her daughter with hard work. When his daughter was 5 years old, Zhang San went home with a package full of square ponds and large round biscuits.

Tianhua told Zhang San that her daughter's name was Pan'er and hoped that he would come home soon.

Zhang San's eyes were red, and he said that he would be discharged from the army in two years, and asked them to wait patiently for the day of reunion.

Zhang San stayed at home for two days, grazing the pigs and spraying the crops、、、、、、

Two years later, Zhang San returned home. When he returned, he led a donkey, which he had bought when he passed through a market, and was going to use it to cultivate the land, and Tianhua wrote that the old cattle in the family were sick and died.

The donkey carried a large bag of luggage on its back, including square candy bought for Pan'er, large round biscuits, new clothes and hairpins for Tianhua. As he walked, he dreamed of the future, and their family of three would never be separated and live happily.

When we arrived at the village, it was dark, the countrymen went to bed early, and the village was quiet, without a single light. Zhang San walked silently on the potholed dirt road. As I walked, I saw a crooked and upside-down shadow in front of me, like a drunk, humming an opera in my mouth. Zhang San guessed that this person might be Liu Erye, he saw Liu Erye fall crookedly on the road almost every day when he was very young, he was the number one "wine Mengzi" in the village, and the person in front of him was him. He tried to shout: "Second Master Liu? ”

"Hey, who、、、、、、 whom?"

Sure enough, it was him, so drunk that he spoke with his tongue wide open.

"Me. Tom. Zhang San said.

"Oh, it's the third son, didn't you kid go as a soldier?" Somehow, when Liu Erye heard that it was Zhang San, his mouth immediately became sharp, and his expression seemed to be very nervous.

"It's restored. It's back. Zhang San said.

"Let's go home and take a look, the people in the village haven't seen Tianhua for two years, and the door is locked." Liu Erye said that he was about to leave.

"Huh?" Zhang San was confused. Second Master Liu has gone away.

Zhang Sanhuo hurried home. When I came to the door of the house, I pushed the door, and the door was hidden, and there was a light in the house. Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief, this Liu "wine Mengzi", drunk and talking nonsense.

He led the donkey into the yard, and the docile donkey made a mistake at this time, and he couldn't drag it into the yard, and let out a panicked scream, but fortunately Zhang San was strong and strong, so he dragged it in and tied it to a jujube tree. The donkey has been disobedient and has to struggle.

Zhang San walked towards the house and found that Tianhua and Pan'er were already standing at the door, the lights in the room were blocked by them, and they were carrying the lights on their backs, so they only saw two black silhouettes and could not see their facial expressions. They stood still, as if they didn't welcome him so much.

"Sweet flower, I'm back." Zhang San said.

"You're back, I calculated that you would be back today, and left a door for you." Sweet Flower said. Her voice was hollow and untouched.

Zhang San walked up to the two of them and said to Pan'er: "Dad, why haven't you grown taller?" Bub. ”

Pan'er still stood still, and at this time, Zhang San found that Pan'er's eyes were staring at the donkey behind him, and her mouth kept drooling.

Zhang San was very puzzled and said to Tianhua, "What's wrong with this child?" ”

Tianhua didn't answer his words, and pulled Pan'er, who returned to her normal appearance. "Let's make dumplings tonight." She said.

Zhang San said: "Okay, I'll go to the store to buy some meat." ”

Sweet Flower said, "We have meat." ”

"Oh."

"Let's go." Tianhua turned around as she spoke, and took Pan'er back to the house, and Pan'er was also wooden when she turned around.

Zhang San saw that they were walking straight, but he didn't say anything, and followed into the house, he remembered what Liu Erye said.

Sweet flowers and noodles, Zhang San chopped vegetables. "Where's the meat?" Zhang San asked.

Tianhua didn't speak, lowered her head, and slowly confronted each other. Suddenly, there was a donkey's scream in the yard, Zhang San hurriedly ran out to look, and by the light from the house, Zhang San saw that Pan'er was grabbing a piece of bloody donkey meat and stuffing it into his mouth, and the donkey fell aside, as if dead.

"Oops! Pan'er, why do you eat raw donkey meat? Zhang San was shocked.

"Gluttonous." There was a sweet flower voice from behind, and she stood behind Zhang San at some point. She went to the yard, knocked out the meat in Pan'er's hand, and said to herself: "Gluttonous, you can't eat meat all year round, you're greedy." When Pan'er saw that the meat was knocked down, she cried profusely.

Zhang San asked, "Didn't you say that our family has meat?" ”

At this time, Tianhua stopped squeaking, Pan'er stopped crying, they both stared at Zhang San at the same time, they both stared at each other, and the corners of their mouths began to drool.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang San climbed onto the wall and escaped, and there was an angry and terrible scream from behind.

Zhang San ran to the village chief's house in one breath, and on the way, he thought quickly in his mind: These two women are not alive for a long time, they want to eat meat, not only donkey meat, but also his meat, first eat his meat, and then eat donkey meat. The cattle did not die of illness but were eaten by them, and the pigs at home must have also been eaten.

The village chief and Liu Erye said the same, they haven't seen Tianhua for two years, the gate is locked, and the people in the village feel very strange, but the gate is locked outside, like a normal escape, so no one cares.

Zhang San did not dare to go back, so he slept at the village chief's house all night, and only after dawn the next day did he go home and find that the gate was locked.

Two years ago, Zhang San came back to visit his family, and returned to the army two days later, the night he returned to the army, there was an accident at home, a prisoner in the village who was released from prison after completing his sentence as a traitor, and he saw that Zhang San would bring money back to make up for the family after returning home, and in those two days, he secretly wandered around Zhang San's house, as soon as Zhang San returned to the team, he started to act, he didn't want to kill, just steal some money, but Tianhua was awakened and recognized him, and was killed, and Pan'er did not escape the doom, died at the mercy of his clutches. The bodies of Tianhua and Pan'er were buried in the courtyard, after which the criminals went out through the gate, locked the gate, and disguised themselves as if they were going out normally.

Tianhua and Pan'er were very angry, turned into ghosts, and wandered around this empty courtyard for many years, saying that the bones were ruthless, and the dead had no feelings for their living relatives, which was why they wanted to eat Zhang San.

The story is over. Qiuyun listened attentively. There was a sound of clanging footsteps in the dark alley, I don't know who hurried home, startled the neighbor's sleeping watchdog, the dog howled, Qiuyun was so frightened that he got into Shi Tou's arms, Shi Tou hugged her tightly, they hugged each other and slept, looking loving. "We're finally like a couple." Shi Tou thought to himself.

This is the "horror story of love", and from then on, Shi Tou told Qiuyun a horror story every night、、、、、、
