Chapter 271: Midnight Ghost Tower
Yan Shouye walked on the street unkempt with the twenty oceans rewarded by the casino owner, his heart was empty and there was no sadness, he couldn't be sad anymore.
Walking along the river to his home, looking at the river, he had no thoughts of suicide, just thinking about how to explain to his old mother when he returned home.
By the time I got home, it was already dark.
When he saw his mother, he cried, and cried very sadly.
"What's wrong?" Mother asked him.
"Plop" Yan Shouye knelt down in front of his mother.
"Mother, I lost all my family property, and I don't even have this house." Yan Shouye didn't dare to look at his old mother.
"What? You repeat. The old mother said with trembling lips.
"We have nothing." Yan Shouye's voice was very small.
"Snap" slapped Yan Shouye in the face, and Yan Shouye didn't feel the slightest pain.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of the old lady's mouth and slowly fell in front of Yan Shouye's eyes.
There were too many great changes on this day, so that Yan Shouye didn't have the courage to cry, and quietly watched his mother fall in front of him, without any expression on his face.
A straw mat hurriedly buried my mother!
"Let's go, all of you! I'm already a poor guy with nothing. Yan Shouye's mother said calmly to her two wives after burying her.
The little wife looked at Yan Shouye and said hatefully: "You bastard! After saying that, he left without looking back.
Yan Shouye sat quietly in the rocking chair in the courtyard where his father had sat and watched the sunset, a sad tear flowed from the corner of his eye, this was the last time he sat here to watch the sunset, because tomorrow Boss Li will come to collect the house.
It's good, it's clean!
"Shouye, eat!" A familiar voice rang in my ears.
Looking back, it turned out to be his eldest wife.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Yan Shouye said very calmly.
"I am your wife, and I am still your wife if you have nothing." Yan Shouye's wife said firmly.
Yan Shouye raised his eyes and looked at his wife, her sideburns had gray hair at some point
The Yan family was really defeated, and it was completely defeated, and it took only a year from the death of Yan Shisong to the defeat of the Yan family.
Yan Shouye and his wife moved to a thatched hut on the edge of the field to live a difficult life, Yan Dagongzi fell from the sky to hell, and now children dare to bully him.
People attribute the fall of the Yan family to the fact that Yan Shouye broke the local rules and was punished by God, who knows if this is God's punishment or mercy on Yan Shouye?
The Yan family fell, and Yan Gongzi faded out of people's sight, but the haunted house built by Yan Shouye remained in people's hearts, and they all stayed away from it. ”
In the blink of an eye, the haunted house has been covered with a thick layer of dust, deserted, overgrown with grass, and has really become a real haunted house.
This is an era of war, there is a shortage of soldiers, people die every day, we are actually a little better here, maybe because of the remoteness!
One day, a couple came here begging for food, fainted from hunger, and some people saw that they were pitiful and fed them two bowls of hot porridge.
It was freezing at that time, and even if they survived, they would have frozen to death, and people were living in great distress at that time, and there was no one to take them in.
An old man looked at them pitifully and said, "If you are not afraid, you can go to a haunted house and try it for the night." ”
The couple said, "What are we afraid of?" ”
So, they were given some thatch, and the couple went to live in a haunted house.
The two of them used thatched grass to pave a place as a bed, although shabby but at least a shelter from the wind and rain, it was too tired, the two snuggled up and fell asleep, so warm, in the dream two big men came to them and said: "Destined people, our brothers have been waiting for you for a long time, this house will be handed over to you, and our brothers will leave." With that, he disappeared.
The two woke up with an extra handful of silver dollars around them.
The next day, the pot was fried here, and the haunted house was actually able to live in.
Yes, the two begging couples slept peacefully in the haunted house until dawn, and people looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
In this way, the two husbands and wives stayed with us and lived in peace.
This is fate, how many people can't live in a haunted house, who would have thought that two poor couples could live here safely, and who can say clearly, fate is like this. The world is impermanent! Yan Gongzi is still living a hard life, and everything seems to be over.
A cannon shot broke the balance here, and a group of soldiers with five-pointed stars on their hats came here, they called the People's Liberation Army.
The People's Liberation Army is the master of the poor and punishes the landlords and profiteers who exploit the poor people!
Landlords and profiteers were all pulled out by the new people's government to parade through the streets and shot!
Yan Shouye watched the boss of the gambling hall who was escorted by the People's Liberation Army to execute the execution, and there was a cold feeling on his spine, if it wasn't for him, the person who was being escorted to the execution ground now should be him.
It was only because the Yan family was defeated early that Yan Shouye saved his life. Who says it's not God who has mercy on him?
Fate is so fickle, strictly guarding the karma and leaving a life, the down-and-out two couples lived in a haunted house, and took root here, this is fate, God has already arranged it, we can only go step by step......
When Yan Shouye was glad that he had left his life, an old Taoist came to his door to ask for saliva to drink, and Yan Shouye recognized it at a glance as the old Taoist of the year.
"Dao Chief, don't you still recognize me?" The gray-haired Yan Shouye asked the old way.
"Yan Gongzi!" Lao Dao blurted out.
"Yes, it's me, but it's not Yan Gongzi for a long time!" Yan Shouye was a little self-deprecating.
"How are these years?" Lao Dao asked.
"The Taoist Elder had long expected that I would have today." Yan Shouye actually smiled heartily after speaking, laughing very happily, but he always felt a little helpless.
Lao Dao also answered him with a laugh......
Today, many years later, the legendary haunted house is still there, but it is dilapidated, and it is not a haunted house anymore, there are two old people living in it, who should be the descendants of a down-and-out couple.
On the first day of construction, there were horrific rumors that the bones of several dead people were unearthed during the three-foot digging operation to lay the foundations! Even the police were alarmed. What is even more unexpected is that it is completely impossible to find out why there is a body here and the identity of the deceased, all of which makes the house even more terrifying before it is built.
However, the three families who invested in the construction of the house did not stop the construction of the project.
Soon, three new four-story houses were completed, and the enthusiastic scene at the time of housewarming completely diluted all the unhappiness. The three families began their lives in a new environment with joy.
A week later, the news of Wang's death came out of the Wang family. The cause of death is said to be cancer. But Wang's health is well known, and until Wang's death, there was no indication that he was terminally ill – including Wang's family, who believed that he did not know that he was terminally ill! Because Wang has a habit of regular physical examinations, according to his doctor's examination report, Wang's cancer was obtained overnight.
This is extremely nonsensical and impossible. No one believed it. But it did happen. So someone contacted the body that was exhumed on the first day of construction, and for a while rumors of ghosts asking for their lives were boiling.
Lao Wang's relics were moved away in the shortest possible time.
Two months later, the fire in Zhang's house once again became the focus of society, and the whole family was not spared.
"Husband, let's move, okay?" Mrs. Li, the mistress of the third and only remaining household, timidly asked Mr. Li.
Her timidity is not without reason, everyone knows that Mr. Li is a typical atheist, the most taboo others to say such ridiculous things, the first two families have been widely spread, the legend about ghosts is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even some people have predicted that the Li family will die in a year, the Li family has only two women in addition to Mr. Li and the three-year-old child, and women always believe in these things. When Mrs. Li said this at this time, it was obvious that she was worried that her family would really be unhappy. This is what disgusts Mr. Li the most.
He roared like thunder: "Move? What to move? Are you really afraid that we will die? Do you really believe this? You're still a college graduate! ”
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything anymore. This kind of result was expected by her. This is called doing what you know you can't do. Sometimes it's stupid.
Except for Mr. Li and the ignorant child, the two women can be said to live with trepidation. Especially the old lady keeps the scriptures and amulets around her all day long. Mr. Li once found a talisman on his body and immediately threw it away. He was going to prevent the whole family from wearing this thing, but then he couldn't resist the old man, so he had to agree to let them take it, but he would rather die than give in, and the old man knew his temper, and he sighed and was not reluctant. It's just that the room is full of props such as peach wood swords, gossip mirrors, etc., and Mr. Li gives in.
Perhaps because of the measures taken by the elderly, the family has been safe for a few months.
However, Mr. Li is not the one who feels fine.
He himself didn't know what was going on!
Every time he went up to the fourth floor, he would have an abnormal sensation that some people who believed in ghosts would describe as "being pressed by ghosts" - for no reason, his body couldn't move! It's as if something is holding itself tightly and yet can't be seen.
The first time this happened was in a dream. The fourth floor is used as a guest room, and one day Mr. Li wanted to sleep here for one night on a whim, but he was "pressed" to wake up in the middle of the night, and the heavy feeling made it difficult for him to breathe, and he couldn't scream if he wanted to. I don't know how long it took to be liberated. Later, this situation became more and more serious, and every time Mr. Li reached the fourth floor, it would happen: as soon as he stepped on the floor of the fourth floor, he would fall to the ground, unable to get up, and it would take a long time before he could move.
But it didn't happen to anyone else.
It's so ironic! Those who believe in ghosts are fine, but atheists are evil!
Mr. Li didn't think it was a ghost, and he resolutely didn't think so. But just because he doesn't think it doesn't mean it won't happen.
On the night of the typhoon, the roar of the typhoon seemed to come out of his body, so clear that it was terrifying, and it was only eight o'clock, and the whole family fell asleep.
Mr. Li was wearing an amulet—the old lady had secretly hidden it on him again. Mr. Li would have thrown it away as soon as he found it, but he suddenly wanted to try to see if it really "worked", so he went to the fourth floor, which he hadn't been to for a long time, and stayed for a long time and was fine. This made him less and less confident in his "theory", and from then on he simply carried this talisman with him.
That night, he slept on the fourth floor - he couldn't say why he was staying here, maybe he wanted to have that experience again while wearing the amulet, so as to confirm that the disappearance of that feeling had nothing to do with the ghost drawing, and then to confirm that those things had nothing to do with the ghosts, otherwise there was no reason for him to wear the talisman and hit the ghost, so it can be seen that there were no ghosts—he hadn't thought of it, and that might also mean that the ghost was stronger, and he was not even afraid of the charm.
