Chapter 037: Cinnabar (6)
"Yes, Ah Liang, who turned into a donkey, killed my husband." Fang Miaomiao covered her mouth and nose: "That day, I obviously heard the voice of my husband coming back, but I searched all over the house, but I couldn't see him." Later, I heard the donkey's cry and went to the backyard. Outcome...... As a result, I saw my husband lying in a corner of the donkey shed. I walked over and saw a donkey's hoof print on my husband's chest, and there were bloodshot spots on the corners of his mouth. ”
"Didn't you see the donkey kill your husband?"
"No, but there are only two people in the donkey shed, Ah Liang and my husband, who have become donkeys, and my husband can't be killed by outsiders. I was worried that Ah Liang would be affected, so I took advantage of the fact that no one was seeing it, so I tethered it to another place. When I went back to try to erase the marks of the donkey's hooves that had remained on my husband's chest, I saw that many people had gathered in the donkey barn. The husband was removed from the donkey shed, and there was a pool of dirty blood on the ground. I didn't dare to look closely, so I squeezed in from the back of the crowd, first pretending to see my husband clearly, and then began to cry. ”
"Those people don't have suspicions?"
"Nope!" Fang Miaomiao shook her head: "Because I get along well with my husband every day, those people never suspected me of anything, and even the donkey hoof prints on my husband's chest disappeared." ”
"And how did you die?"
"I forgot, I just remember that I wanted to take Ah Liang away, just went out, and was putting a donkey on the carriage, when it suddenly darkened in front of me, and when I opened my eyes again, I had become like this, and there was a Taoist standing in front of me. I know him as the one who turned Aryan into a donkey. I begged him to change Ah Liang back to his original form, and he agreed, but asked me to do something for him. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Come to you, and kill you."
"Kill me? Why did you kill me? ”
"I don't know, I asked, but the Taoist didn't say, and I wasn't allowed to continue asking."
"And are you still going to kill me now?"
"I can't kill it, your master is better than me." Fang Miaomiao looked at the fox in fear.
"Well, I've never seen anyone more powerful than my master." Xing Ruyi hugged the fox's arm: "Master, why don't you turn Ah Liang back?" ”
The fox stretched out his hand, tapped his fingertips, and the donkey let out a muffled grunt, turning into a young man in his early twenties. The young man looks ordinary, but at first glance he is the kind of person who is particularly diligent and simple.
"Ah Liang!"
"Miao Miao!"
Fang Miaomiao stretched out her hand and passed through Ah Liang's body.
Ah Liang stretched out his hand, and his hand also passed through Fang Miaomiao's body.
"What's going on?" Ah Liang looked at his hands.
"Ah Liang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you down." Fang Miaomiao stood still and didn't move: "I shouldn't have left you alone, I shouldn't have listened to Daddy's words and married someone else." Ah Liang, I'm sorry, I know that you are very good to me, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have become a donkey, and you wouldn't have to suffer all that hardship and tiredness. If there is a next life, I hope to meet you again, but I am no longer your lady, and you are no longer my long-term worker, let's be a simple, happy couple, okay? ”
"In this life, you are my wife, in the next life, in the next life, you will be my mother."
"Don't you blame me?"
"It's no wonder, I understand the master's thoughts. You are the only lady in Fangjiazhuang, and the lord has specified that he wants you to marry a well-connected Lang Jun, so that he can help Fangjiazhuang in the future. I'm just the son of a long-term worker, and no matter how good I am to Miss, it won't help Miss. I only hate that I didn't learn more skills, and I didn't recognize my identity earlier, if I had recognized it earlier, it would be good to be able to stay by Miss's side for the rest of my life. ”
"Aliang."
"Ah Liang knows that he is not worthy of Miss, but in Ah Liang's heart, Miss is Ah Liang's lady, the eternal lady."
"Nope! I don't deserve it. Fang Miaomiao shook her head lightly: "In the place we often go to, I hid some silver, you go back and take it out." If you meet a good girl, you can use that money to make a family. ”
Ah Liang shook his head, but Fang Miaomiao watched the shadow fade more and more.
Xing Ruyi gently tugged at the fox's hand and asked, "Where did she go?" ”
"Gone."
"Gone? Didn't you go to the Netherworld? ”
"She can't go, her soul has been scattered, and even if there is no tonight, she won't be able to survive tomorrow."
"Then does she have another life?"
"Nope!"
Xing Ruyi looked at Ah Liang and was a little sad: "Then what is Ah Liang going to do?" ”
"Leave it to time, time will make all the sad things easier." The fox held Xing Ruyi's hand: "It's not too early, we should also go." ”
Waving goodbye to Ah Liang, Xing Ruyi and the fox left the place. As the carriage moved away, he still saw Ah Liang standing in place, as if waiting for something.
There is a ghost in Fangjiazhuang, and it is said that this ghost is still an erratic female ghost. Because of this female ghost who suddenly appeared, the people in the entire Zhuangzi closed the doors and windows at night, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Xing Ruyi and the fox lived in Aunt Fang's house, and the wing room was adjacent to the room of the eldest lady's son Mao Dan. At this moment, both of them opened the window. Mao Dan was lying on the window on the left, and Xing Ruyi was lying on the window on the right.
"Is there really a ghost in your Zhuangzi?"
"They all said yes, but I hadn't seen it, and my grandmother wouldn't let me go out. If I can go out, I really want to see what that female ghost looks like, whether it is scary or not. ”
"Female ghosts, some scary, some not." Xing Ruyi carefully recalled the female ghosts he had seen, some of them were not only not scary, but also very good-looking.
"You've seen it?" Mao Dan's body poked out again.
"No, I've heard from the old people I've seen in our village." When saying the old man's two words, Xing Ruyi deliberately glanced at the fox. "By the way, what are the female ghosts in your village, according to the people they have seen?"
"Seen it?" Mao Dan scratched his head: "Zhuangzi seems to have seen Uncle Geng, who said that it was a female ghost with a cloak and a disheveled head, and when she entered the village, she was not scary, so she knew how to catch chickens." Uncle, this is a female ghost who likes to eat chickens, and told us to take good care of the chickens in our own house. ”
"A female ghost who likes to steal chickens to eat?" Xing Ruyi touched his nose: "I've heard of the female ghost who sucks people's yang energy and seeks people's lives, but this one likes to steal chickens to eat, are you sure it's a female ghost?" ”
"Uncle said yes, it should be. In our Zhuangzi, the one who has the greatest courage is Uncle Geng. I've heard my grandmother say that my uncle dared to sleep alone in the cemetery when he was a teenager. Otherwise, we can't hand over this midnight shift to him. ”
"Did Uncle Gen say what that female ghost looks like?"
"Uncle He didn't dare to take a closer look, so he felt that hers was not the same as what our Zhuangzi Master was wearing." Mao Dan looked at the sky on the wall: "It's over, it's almost dark, grandma should come over and urge us to take care of the window in a while." Ruyi, hurry, close the window. Oh, by the way, grandma told me that if you hear anything at night, don't go out to see it. This ghost has good and bad things, and if you run into a bad one, it will be miserable if you are caught. ”
"Don't worry, with my master here, no one dares to arrest me."
While talking, Grandma Mao Dan was already urging to close the window. Although the window was closed, the fox stood on the roof with Xing Ruyi. The moonlight tonight is very good, and it can illuminate many streets on Zhuangzi. Just when Xing Ruyi was bored and was about to go to bed, a white shadow swept from the corner of his eye.
The white shadow stopped at the door of a farmer's house, first pushed it with his hand, and found that the wooden door did not move, and then came to the corner of the wall, and climbed up with his hands and feet, in a very strange posture.
"Master, female ghost!"
"Let's go down and have a look."
The fox was about to hug Xing Ruyi down, when he suddenly heard someone coughing loudly. She quickly patted the fox's hand and dragged the fox to squat on the ridge of the house.
"It's Ah Liang, it seems to be Ah Liang. Unexpectedly, his feet were quite fast. ”
The young man standing in the courtyard was indeed Ah Liang, different from when he was in the forest before, Ah Liang at this time, carrying an axe in his hand, looked very fierce.
"Who are you, why did you go to Grandpa Wang's house to steal chickens? Grandpa Wang lives alone on these chickens, and you even steal his chickens, do you still have a conscience? Ah Liang carried the axe over, but found that the woman in white with a chicken in her hand was motionless.
"Alas, I've said so much, why don't you put the chicken down." Ah Liang picked up the axe, originally thinking of scaring the chicken thief, but he didn't want the axe to be raised just now, and the chicken thief slowly turned around.
"Sister-in-law Hua, why are you?" Ah Liang slowly put down the axe and rubbed his eyes with his sleeve: "Aren't you already ...... Oh, look at me, aren't you dead? No, no, when you go out of the funeral, I will carry the coffin for you, and the person who was buried in the ground will not come back alive. ”
Sister-in-law Hua's full name is Wang Guihua, a distant relative of Grandpa Wang's family, because of the early death of her father, or Grandpa Wang's decision to marry her to Fang Cheng. Fang Cheng is a few years older than him, and his father and mother also work long hours in Fang Miaomiao's house, so he and Fang Cheng have known each other since they were children, and they are brothers of the opposite sex.
Wang Guihua was fifteen years old when she married Fang Cheng, but it wasn't until the second year of marrying the Fang family that her belly improved. Pregnant in October, once delivered, no one expected that this child would be difficult to deliver. Wang Guisheng was born for a day and a night, but he still couldn't stand the toss of the child in his belly, and took the child away. Because it was a sudden death, according to the regulations of Zhuangzi, the coffin had to be carried by a sturdy man who had never been married, which was said to be to suppress evil spirits. This nail coffin, when the coffin was carried, Ah Liang was there, and I hadn't heard that Wang Guihua was back.
"Sister-in-law Hua, you are talking, in the middle of the night, why did you run to Grandpa Wang's house to steal chickens. Also, did you steal all the chickens and ducks in this Zhuangzi? ”
At this time, Wang Guihua's two eyes looked ahead blankly, and her eyeballs turned up, revealing a large area of whites of her eyes. Her lips were still covered in dirt, cracked and black, and she felt lifeless, as if she had just crawled back from the ground.
