"The only one alive is Ascension?"

"Yes, it's ascension." The village chief's eyes became dark: "According to my father, it was evening, and the big guy had just come back from the field and was packing up to make dinner. Suddenly, I heard someone crying in the courtyard of Lao Gao's house. At that time, the yard was not what you see now, girl, it was a very dilapidated yard, and it was not so big and so bright. ”

"Is Gao Sheng crying?"

"Yes, he's crying. I cried very pitifully, very loudly, in my mother's words, it broke people's hearts. So, everyone in the village ran to the door of Lao Gao's house to look, only to see that the door was open, and Gao Sheng was sitting alone in the courtyard, surrounded by bits and pieces. I wiped my eyes and went in to take a look, only to realize that the people who were broken to the ground were all people. ”

"Is that the family?"

"Yes, it's that family, a family of five, two old people, a young couple and a child, a few years older than the stupid girl of the old Gao family. It's all torn apart, and even the head looks like it's being crushed by something. Our village, to say the least, has been hundreds of years, and we have never seen such a scary scene. Immediately scared a few people, two of them were elderly, and after being scared, they never woke up. ”

"What is it?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, we are all native-born farmers, no one can think of what is causing that family to be like that, let alone can't think clearly, how this Gao Sheng is fine. Later, some people speculated that it was not the stupid sister of Gao Sheng who came back to take revenge. The village chief sighed: "Afterwards, some people also inquired, that is, the one who bought Gao Sheng's foolish sister and in-laws." There was also a foolish son in that family, who grew up to be a teenager, who was fooled into going up a tree to dig out a bird's nest, and accidentally fell down and died.

When the son grew up to be a teenager, he just left, and the family was not a taste, so they thought about buying a girl to match an in-law, so that the child would not go underground and complain about himself. The person didn't know where he heard the news, so he took the initiative to contact the family, saying that there was a girl of the right age at home, and she had been sick for many years, and she was dying. People asked carefully, saying that their son was in a hurry to be buried, and they couldn't wait too long, and the family patted their chests and promised that they would never let the family wait too long.

That's it, within two days, Gao Sheng's stupid sister fell into the well. The big guy guessed that Gao Sheng's stupid sister didn't fall into the well by herself, but was killed. Because of the grievance of death, he was dragged to marry an unwilling in-law, so he became angry and came back for revenge. ”

"And then, after the family died, did things settle down?"

"The family died, no one was left, and Gao Sheng, who was only three years old, became a child that no one wanted. Everyone was worried in their hearts, but they were worried that if they didn't take care of Gao Sheng, they would also be retaliated, so they discussed, these existing families in the village took turns to take care of Gao Sheng, and when he was raised and could take care of himself, he would be sent back to the Gao family's old house, and when the time came, they would take turns to take care of him eating and drinking. This day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gao Sheng grew to the age of thirteen. He himself didn't want to take turns like this anymore, so he offered to go back to his own home. When he returned, I followed. Of course, I wasn't a village chief at that time, just like him, a half-grown child. Follow, it's just to join in the fun.

I still remember that the old mansion of the Gao family was dilapidated at that time, but there was still a big lock on the door. As soon as the door of this courtyard opened, I felt that a yin wind was blowing, blowing the whole back of the person is cold, it is really from the heart to the outside of the layers of cold air, scared everyone dare not go inside. ”

"What the hell?"

"No, nothing, I just feel that the wind is gusting, which makes people panic from the bottom of their hearts. We didn't dare to go in, but Gao Sheng was fine, he walked in directly, and walked around the yard for a while, saying that the yard was broken, and when he was older and made money, he would clean it up.

This is old, and the people who passed through the Gao family before those things didn't dare to go in, and in the end, a few very bold children went in to help Gao Sheng clean up the yard a little. Later, the east family brought a quilt, and the west family brought a mattress, and made up a home.

After that, the wife was also peaceful. Gao Sheng, who is usually silent, is a person who can work hard. After ten years, he really renovated the entire old Gao family as he said at the beginning. The yard has been renovated, and the past has gradually been forgotten. Besides, Gao Sheng has lived in that courtyard for ten years, and nothing terrible has happened, and everyone is no longer taboo. ”

"Ten years, Gao Sheng was thirteen when he moved back, and ten years later he should be twenty-three years old, right?"

"yes, almost in your early twenties. When the villagers saw that he was always alone, they thought about helping him say a daughter-in-law and a family. But without waiting for the villagers to tell him about his marriage, she brought back a daughter-in-law herself. That girl is very good-looking, but her body is not very good, and she looks sick. ”

"Is it called Zhizhi?"

"Yes, that's the name, but it's not a big name, no one knows. Although Gao Sheng is wooden, he likes his daughter-in-law very much, and he is good to his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law should be from a big family in the city, and she doesn't know how to grow vegetables, but she likes to raise flowers. Gao Sheng doted on her, and every time he came back from going out, he brought her flowers, sometimes a whole tree, sometimes some messy flower seeds. His daughter-in-law is not picky, she will plant whatever Gao Sheng brings back. This spring, summer, autumn and winter, their home is red and glamorous, fragrant.

At the beginning, the villagers also said that Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law did not live a life, she did not grow vegetables outside the house, but planted flowers and plants every day that could not be eaten or sold. But this gossip has become envious of people. Because of these days of high ascension, not only did it not become bad because her daughter-in-law loved to grow flowers and not vegetables, but it became more and more prosperous, which made some people red-eyed. ”

"And then, what happened?" Xing Ruyi recalled the words of the man in the robe: "Did Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law get sick and die? ”

"It can be said that he died of illness, or it can be said that he did not die of illness, but he died of death."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Gao Sheng is to give people a car, sometimes to give away, sometimes to deliver. His daughter-in-law's health and bones are not very good, so when the weather is good, he goes out with Gao Sheng, and when the weather is bad or the body is not well, he stays at home and waits for Gao Sheng to come back. That winter, Gao Sheng took a job to deliver goods, and she had to go out for a few days, but her daughter-in-law didn't go out. As a result, he was targeted by a person in the village who had long been angry with Gao Sheng's family, and that bastard, taking advantage of the darkness, went to Gao Sheng's house to bully his daughter-in-law.

Girl, you didn't see the pitiful appearance of Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law at that time. Gao Sheng, who grew up with the whole village, has lived in each of our homes, eaten, and called our father and mother Daddy, this bastard bullying Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law is not the same as bullying us ourselves, we immediately sent that bastard to the government.

But within a few days, he was released. Later, I learned that his father and mother had found someone, and there was a relative in his family who was also an official. If you can't report to the official, you can't let people beat him up in private, because if you do, you will have to suffer a lawsuit. Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law has no choice but to beg us to endure this matter, don't tell Gao Sheng, she is afraid that Gao Sheng will not be able to stand it.

We had no choice but to agree. In this prosperous Tang Dynasty, no matter how prosperous the world is, there are still unfair things happening, in addition to forbearance, what else can we do. But who would have thought that we let go of that bastard, but that bastard was concerned about us sending him to the government, and actually found someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest in private, to separate the feelings of other husbands and wives, and sold Gao Sheng a dose of poison. Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law, that is, Zhizhi, drank the medicine and died. ”

"Then what happened when Gao Sheng married a lady later?"

"Marry a lady? No, I don't. The village chief was stunned.

"Didn't he marry a widow who had a dead husband?"

"No, not really." The village chief replied: "Gao Sheng's daughter-in-law, that is, not long after Zhizhi's death, someone told him about it. He couldn't hold back, so he went to confront the bastard, and the bastard said everything, including the fact that he found someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest and sell it to Gao Sheng. But the fake Taoist priest couldn't find it, and even if Gao Sheng knew that the bastard was the murderer, he didn't have any way. Not only was there no way, but he was beaten up by that bastard looking for someone. He crawled back to the Gao family's courtyard by himself, and when he came back, almost no part of his body was good. It was also a rainy day. ”

The village chief looked at the rain in the courtyard.

"It rained from day to night, and from night to the next day. The next day, when it was dawn, I and a few people planned to go to Gao's house to see Gao Sheng, and by the way, I would give him medicine. But when I arrived at Gao's house, I searched all the places, but I didn't find Gao Sheng. Two days later, the bastard, the bastard who beat Gao Sheng, actually took a not very serious woman to live in the courtyard of the Gao family, and showed a title deed, saying that he bought the yard, and said that the yard would be the woman's home from now on. ”

"There was blood on the title deed, and the blood had not yet dried, and everyone could understand what was going on at a glance. But no one dared to say it, and no one dared to stretch out his head to Gao Sheng and shout this injustice. The village chief said, and added: "Speaking of widows, the woman that bastard brought back is a serious widow. She is not from our Gaozhai, but from Zhaozhai not far away. Her husband is a sick man, and she was bought by her husband's family from the land of fireworks. never thought that this Chongxi not only did not cure her husband's illness, but made her angry with her husband. The woman in the land of fireworks, even if she marries an honest and responsible banker, she still can't change her habit of stealing. No, the front foot just pissed off her husband and her in-laws were angry, and the back foot got together with the bastard in our village, and the two of them partnered to occupy the courtyard of Gao Sheng's house. ”

"What about Ascension? Didn't it ever appear again? ”

"No, anyway, no one in the village has ever seen him alive, but those who have lived in the courtyard of Gao Sheng's house say that they have seen Gao Sheng in the flowers." The village chief sighed: "Ghost-like ascension." ”
