Chapter 6: The Wrath of the Shadows

Four days ago, wasn't that the day Huang Dan and the painter divorced?

Huang Dan saw that my face was ugly, and vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly asked: "Ding Mian, you tell me the truth - is the woman I dreamed of a dirty thing in the yin talisman?" Where did she come from? Why didn't you divorce me from the painter? ”

I sighed and said that this yin charm is called the privet talisman, and the reason why it is called this name is because the woman recruited in the talisman was a chaste daughter before her death.

The woman's name is Xiaoju, born in the Sui Dynasty, living in an inconspicuous mountain village, because of her natural ugly appearance, no one wants to marry.

At that time, there was a Xiucai who went to Beijing to catch the exam, passing by this village, because it was too late, he wanted to find a place to spend the night, but he ran to more than a dozen houses, but no one agreed, he was ready to sleep in the wilderness, and in the end it was Xiaoju who was not good-looking, and took him in.

Xiaoju's parents died when she was a child, so she also lived alone at home, she brought Xiucai to the house, arranged it to the bedroom, and lived in the firewood room, and when she had dinner, she specially killed a chicken and stewed chicken soup for Xiucai.

Xiucai was very moved, and while drinking chicken soup, he swore that if he could return from high school this time, he would definitely marry Xiaoju as his wife.

Xiao Ju smiled shyly, lowered her head and did not speak.

She didn't take Xiucai's words seriously, after all, with her ugly appearance, if people really became officials, how could they look down on herself?

But to her surprise, not long after, Xiucai really came to her.

Xiucai held Xiao Ju's hand and said with some shame: I'm sorry girl, I fell off the list, I came back this time to ask you, are you still willing to marry me?

Xiaoju is a simple woman, she loves Xiucai, she doesn't care whether Xiucai can be an official at all, and immediately said without hesitation: I am willing.

After the two got married, Xiaoju worked outside to earn money to support her family, came back to cook and laundry, and served Xiucai.

And Xiucai studied hard for the triennial imperial examination, and fought at night.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiucai entered Beijing again to take the exam, but he fell behind Sun Shan again.

Disheartened, Xiucai's temper became worse and worse, in the past, in addition to reading, he occasionally said a few words of love to Xiao Ju, but now the whole person seems to have changed, often scolding Xiao Ju, and even more often, punching and kicking.

The nearby villagers and neighbors all felt that Xiucai was too much of a thing, eating other people's Xiaoju, living in other people's Xiaoju, and actually beating and scolding their own bad wives, and persuaded Xiaoju to leave Xiucai and find another person to marry.

But Xiaoju didn't agree, saying that since she married Xiucai, no matter how bad Xiucai was, she was still her father-in-law, how could she betray her husband?

Besides, if you look so ugly, it's good if you don't dislike yourself, where does you have the face to dislike others?

The villagers didn't bother to persuade when they saw that they couldn't persuade them, thinking that it wouldn't be long before Xiaoju couldn't bear it and took the initiative to leave Xiucai.

But to their surprise, no matter how excessive Xiucai did in the future, even if she had an affair with a girl from a neighboring village, Xiaoju was still indifferent and served Xiucai tirelessly.

They think that eighty percent of this girl's head is broken, but they don't know that the reason why Xiaoju can do it to this extent is because she really loves Xiucai, and secondly because Xiucai is at home on weekdays, and she will be "brainwashed" to say some things about women's three obedience and four virtues.

For example, "men are big, women are small", "can't fight back, don't scold back", "go against the grain, resolutely don't divorce", "women dress coolly, which is equivalent to teaching others to flirt" and so on.

Xiaoju doesn't have much culture, so in her heart...... What Xiucai said is what the sages say, it is the truth, and she must do it.

With this concept of resignation, Xiaoju and Xiucai lived for more than 20 years, and then Xiucai completely gave up his road to becoming an official because of frequent failures, and stayed at home all day long, eating, drinking, and teaching his wife a lesson.

Maybe it was God who finally opened his eyes after taking a nap, and soon after, Xiucai fell seriously ill and died.

The villagers felt that Xiaoju was relieved and happy for her, and some matchmakers also came to the door and wanted to pull the red line for Xiaoju, but Xiaoju refused without hesitation.

She said that Xiucai often warned herself before her death that she was born as a member of Xiucai's family, and died as a ghost of Xiucai's family - don't say that she is not dead, even if she is dead, she must not cross the thunder pool by half a step and associate with other men.

The court didn't know where to know about Xiaoju, and greatly appreciated it, and specially ordered someone to send a pair of chastity archways, and also attached a poem: "Zhenbi Gaoling cypress, Jie than Yin Gully Ice, Burmese Pi Kao Panke, Acacia Sleep, Pure and Unstained, Pure and Immutable, Two Lives of the Same Heart, A Few Hundred Years Can Be Seen." ”

……

After listening to my story, Huang Dan couldn't say anything in surprise, and only after a while did he take out the yin talisman from his body tremblingly, and said, "Ding Mian, the thing in this yin talisman should be Xiaoju, right?" ”

I nodded.

Huang Dan said with a pale face: "What happened to this Xiaoju, why is it so similar to me?" I'm a painter on my side, she's a showman on my side, and the two scumbags are both lazy and violent, and so on - you say that the painter has become like this, could it be related to Yin Fu? ”

I said of course not, there is only one soul in the yin talisman, Xiaoju, otherwise how to call it a privet talisman, just call it Xiucaifu.

Huang Dan sighed and said that Xiaoju, this girl, is too stupid - if it were herself, she would have left Xiucai a long time ago, and what kind of bullshit is obedient, she can't fight back, she can't scold back, and dressing cool is tantamount to teaching people to flirt, which is simply discriminating against women with the greatest malice!

I said that's not it, not to mention ancient times, aren't some of today's so-called "female Durbans" also doing this?

Huang Dan asked me, the taboo of not being able to divorce in the privet charm is set by Xiao Ju, so now that she is divorced, will Xiao Ju's ghost come to harm her?

"This is not certain, since the privet charm is defined as a yin charm, it proves that when Xiao Ju passed away, she must have a stomach full of resentment...... I suggest that you better remarry the painter, as long as he dares to do it in the future, you will call the police, and if you don't believe it, you can't cure him. I said.

Huang Dan shook her head vigorously, saying that it was impossible to remarry, she was now on good terms with that handsome colleague, and decided to go out to travel after a few days of work and get married when she came back.

I was taken aback and said that you better not do this, and even if you don't remarry the painter, don't marry another man, otherwise you will anger the ghost on the privet charm, and it will be troublesome.

Huang Dan said angrily: Why? I am a woman living in a modern society, why should I follow the rules of ancient feudal society? It's so unfair!

I smiled wryly: For survival.

Huang Dan asked me in a low voice: "Ding Mian, I want to ask you something, can you help me and take the little chrysanthemum in the yin talisman?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the closed door of the store suddenly "banged" and was blown open by the wind!

Whew!

A cold wind poured in from the outside.

Huang Dan was startled, threw himself directly into my arms, and said tremblingly-Is Xiaoju coming to her?

I hugged Huang Dan's soft body, the fragrance was fragrant, my face suddenly became hot, and I said embarrassedly: "Sister Dan, some words must not be said nonsense, it is easy to provoke the anger of the yin spirit, and Xiaoju does not need to look for you, as long as you have a yin charm, she will always be by your side." ”

Huang Dan was unwilling and said hatefully: "That's ...... What if the yin charm is thrown away, or burned? ”

Exercise!

My face changed, and I was about to scold her, but I saw that Huang Dan suddenly seemed to have an epilepsy, his body trembled violently, his mouth whimpered, he spit out a large ball of white foam, and his eyelids began to white......

"Sister Dan?"

I looked at her in horror, and a hint of foreboding flashed through my mind.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Sure enough, Huang Dan raised his head, a weird smile appeared on his face, and then stretched out his hands and slammed them on my neck......
