Chapter 038: Cinnabar (7)
"Sister-in-law, are you a human or a ghost?"
If he had seen such a Wang Guihua before, Ah Liang would have been so frightened that he would have fled quickly. Ah Liang, who has seen Fang Miaomiao's ghost, knows that ghosts are the same as people, they are divided into good and bad people. Sister-in-law Hua was a good person when she was alive, and even if she became a ghost, she would not be a harmful ghost.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Ah Liang put down the things in his hand: "If you are a ghost, you come back to show that you must still have unfulfilled wishes." It doesn't matter, you tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it. ”
At this time, the sister-in-law raised her arm stiffly, and the chicken in her hand began to struggle.
"Xiaobao is hungry, I catch chicken for Xiaobao to eat. Xiaobao loves chicken. ”
After the sister-in-law finished speaking, she walked outside with the chicken. Seeing this, Ah Liang could only follow behind her.
Passing through the Zhuangzi to the farmland, through the farmland, you will come to the field. Ah Liang remembered that Sister-in-law Hua was buried in that field.
Just when Ah Liang was recalling the past, Sister-in-law Hua had already walked to the middle of the field. Ah Liang hurriedly followed, and saw that the sister-in-law had circled around his grave twice, and then bent down and slowly got in.
"Sister-in-law!"
Ah Liang followed, and by the moonlight, he saw that the tomb was intact. If the tomb is intact, the living cannot get into it, and only the ghosts can get in.
"Sister-in-law Hua, did you deliberately bring me here?"
As soon as Ah Liang finished asking, he heard a baby's cry. He approached the grave and made a closer look, and found that the baby's cry had come from the grave.
"It's over, isn't Sister-in-law Hua giving birth to the child in the grave?" Ah Liang was anxious, so he circled around the grave twice, and just as he was thinking about whether to go home and get a shovel to dig the grave, he saw an extra hole in the grave. The smell of blood wafted from the hole.
The grave, although it is the sister-in-law of the flower, but the sister-in-law of the flower is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family. Although Ah Liang was anxious, he didn't dare to dig the grave rashly, and after thinking for a while, he stomped his feet, ran back to the Zhuangzi as fast as he could, and dragged Fang Cheng up from the kang.
"You said that Osmanthus gave birth to a child in the grave?"
"Crying, baby's cry, don't you hear?"
"Where is there any crying in this field?" Fang Cheng dozed off: "Osmanthus has been dead for a long time, even if she really gives birth to a child here, that child will not survive." ”
"How do you know without looking?"
"I know if I don't look at it. I said, Ah Liang, you don't want to dig up the grave of the osmanthus, do you? No, no, no, this is not going to work. The osmanthus has been in the ground for a long time, and you are digging the grave now, isn't it for her to die without looking away? ”
"It was Sister-in-law Hua who brought me here, so she won't blame me." Ah Liang rolled up his sleeves: "Fang Cheng, I asked you to come to let you watch and let you know that I didn't mean to embarrass your family and deliberately come to dig the grave of my sister-in-law." ”
"Okay, okay, who called us brothers? You dig it, and when you're done, we'll fill it up again. In this field, there is nothing else in this field except our osmanthus flowers. Ghosts can't see it, and those people can't see it. ”
With Fang Cheng's words, Ah Liang didn't hesitate any longer, but directly waved the shovel and dug up the grave directly, and then the two of them worked together to pry the coffin lid open. As soon as I pried it open, I was choked by the smell of blood. Forcibly enduring the nausea, the two of them covered their mouths and noses and went to the side of the coffin to look inside, only to see Wang Guihua lying in the coffin alive, surrounded by bitten chickens scattered everywhere, and on her body, there was a chubby little doll lying on her stomach.
"This kid is a human or a ghost." Even if it was his own lady and his own child lying in the coffin, Fang Cheng still took a step back at this time. He was afraid, he was really afraid.
Ah Liang was also afraid, but it was better than Fang Cheng. He slowly reached in and gently touched the baby's cheek. The child slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Ah Liang's face clearly, he cried out with a "wow".
Seeing the child crying, Ah Liang couldn't be afraid, and quickly took the child out of the coffin. The child's flesh is whirring, and it is warm. I don't know if I bumped into something when I hugged him, but the child who was crying suddenly laughed again. The giggles make the moonlit night come alive.
"Fang Cheng is alive, the child is alive. You touch his body, you touch his little hands. Ah Liang hugged the child to Fang Cheng: "This is your son, the son born to you by Sister-in-law Hua." Look at how much he looks like you. ”
"Like something." Fang Cheng looked at the child and stretched out his hand, but before touching the child, he withdrew his hand and wiped his eyes: "Where is it like me, it's clearly like his mother." Ah Liang, you say, why did I suddenly become a father? How did I suddenly have a son? ”
"This is what sister-in-law Hua desperately left for you." Ah Liang reached out and probed Wang Guihua's snort, and found that she was not breathing, and there was already a faint rancid smell on her body. Looking at Wang Guihua, and then looking at the child who was held in Fang Cheng's arms, Ah Liang's nose was sore, and his eyes were wet.
"Fang Cheng, leave a message for sister-in-law Hua."
Fang Cheng nodded and walked to the coffin. Inside the coffin, Wang Guihua's two hands were already white bones, and the lid of the coffin that was lifted was full of small holes, the kind of small holes that were cut out with fingernails.
"Osmanthus, I saw the child, he looks very much like you. Don't worry, I'll take care of our children. Fang Cheng sniffed and said, "I know you've become a ghost, but the strange thing is that when I look at you, I'm not scared at all." I know that you are my lady, and you are not willing to harm me. Don't worry, I'll always bring my children to see you. When he grows up, I will tell him that he was born to you desperately. ”
As soon as Fang Cheng finished speaking, he saw Wang Guihua in the coffin leaving two lines of tears. The tears were also red.
Fang Cheng thought about it, first carried the child to Ah Liang, walked to the front of the coffin by himself, and helped Wang Guihua wipe the tears on his face, then took off his coat, covered Wang Guihua's body, and cleared the chickens from the grave.
"Osmanthus, I'm sorry, I can't let someone give you a new coffin. I know it's not easy for you to give birth to our baby, but I can't let people know that this child was born to you in a coffin. People are terrible, and if others knew about it, they would treat him as a monster. Don't worry, I won't hide this from the child, when he grows up, I will tell him, when the time comes, I will bring the child to move the grave for you, and we will be buried together, do you say okay?"
Sister-in-law Hua didn't answer, and she couldn't have answered.
Fang Cheng and Ah Liang worked together to cover the coffin, and also covered the excavated grave, kowtowed in front of the grave, and then left with the child in their arms.
"Woo, what to do, it's a big night, how could I see such a touching thing." After Fang Cheng and Ah Liang left, Xing Ruyi and the fox appeared by the grave. The grave was filled in in a hurry, and the new soil and the old soil were mixed together, and the dry soil and the wet soil were stacked on top of each other, which looked a little strange.
The fox stretched out his hand and stroked it, and the grave became exactly the same as before.
"What did that Fang become to make Ah Liang keep a secret, obviously he is his own child, why do you have to say that he picked it up?"
"What would you think if someone told you that she had brought back a child from the grave?"
"Youkai?" Xing Ruyi looked at the grave bag in front of him and asked hesitantly: "I know what the master means, if it were me, I wouldn't think much about it, and I would even feel novel, after all, children can be picked up from the graveyard." But those adults, such as my aunt, will think a lot. Do you know? I often pick things up, in the woods outside of our town, but instead of dolls, I pick up all kinds of small animals. Every time I brought those small animals back, my aunt would be very angry, saying that the things I brought back were not clean, that I picked them up casually, and in the end, no matter how I cried and pleaded, she would unswervingly send those things back to the forest. I think if it was a child I picked up at that time, my aunt probably wouldn't let me keep him. ”
"Adults are afraid because they know that the world is full of dangers. Children are fearless because they only find it fun when they see danger. ”
"Master, will that child be fine in the future? Will he remember his mother? ”
The fox stared at Fang Cheng's back for a while, "He will become an ordinary man in this Zhuangzi like his father, at an age suitable for marriage, his father will be the master to marry a girl with diligent hands and feet, and then live a plain and ordinary life, without any special little life." He won't remember his mother, but he will follow his father's instructions, come back to sweep the tomb on Qingming Day, and will also come to visit this aunt lying in the grave. ”
"His aunt will be sad, right?"
"No, after all, as a mother, the biggest wish is nothing more than that the child can be safe, have a smooth life, and be free of illness and disaster."
"The master doesn't have children, how can he understand so much?"
"Who said that the master has no children."
"Where is the master's child, and did he pick it up?" Xing Ruyi raised her head and asked, but the fox flicked her forehead: "Master's own business, why bother telling you." ”
"Then Ruyi won't tell the master if there is something in the future." Xing Ruyi thought for a while and added: "If Ruyi has someone you like in the future, you won't tell the master." ”
"It's okay." The fox pinched his fingers: "The master will calculate!" ”
"It's going to be amazing!" Xing Ruyi was depressed: "Then otherwise, the master will help Ruyi calculate, can Ruyi meet a handsome man like a master, and can he give birth to a super cute doll in the future?" ”
"Yes!" The fox leaned over and looked into Ruyi's eyes: "You will meet a husband who is as handsome and handsome as a master and is good to you, and you will also pick up a beautiful doll from outside, and then give birth to a pair of cute twins." ”
"Really? So how can I know that this is my future husband? ”
"There is a cinnabar mark on your future husband's chest, and when you see it, you will know."
