"My aunt said that she locked Ma Wen in the basement and didn't send water or food, and everyone bet that she could hold out until the young master came back."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you not afraid of doing this, not afraid that I will come back, and punish you?" ”

The old man tilted his head like an innocent little girl: "But young master, you never care about this." You know all about it. ”

I couldn't help but groan. I didn't expect that just thinking that it was a poisonous woman doing evil, this young master of the wrong seed is also a master who does not dare to stand up for his own woman!

I think the final ending is what we saw in the tunnel room. For some reason, I suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for this Ma Wen in my heart. She showed me the way in the tunnel before, and she also recognized me as her 'young master'?

Ma Ming listened, took out a cigarette, and was stopped by Uncle Cui: "My old mother is not in good health and can't smell smoke, I'm sorry." Ma Ming expressed his understanding, walked out of the door with a cigarette case and a lighter, and I saw that he had also taken his backpack away, and when he came back, he had an extra bowl of muddy talisman water in his hand, and he glanced at me. Maybe it's because I've been getting along for so many days and I've developed a tacit understanding, and I actually understood what he meant in seconds, this bowl of water must have something to add to it, and it must not be poured into the old mother in front of people's sons.

So I found an excuse to find a toilet to take Uncle Cui away, it took about ten minutes, and when I returned to the lobby, the old man's whole person suddenly changed. When I walked in, she looked at me, no longer the obsession of a little girl looking at the young master of the family before, but with a faint sense of nostalgia and melancholy, nothing else.

I thought in my heart, the charm of Ma Ming in my heart is really useful, and next time I will give the whole formula, maybe I can become an expert in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Ma Ming glanced at me warningly at this time, and I walked in honestly, looked at the old man, and called grandma tentatively. The old man answered, and said lightly: "You are here for that incident back then, right?" ”

When Uncle Cui next to him saw this scene, his face was full of joy, and he said, "Mom, you, you ......" He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The old man ignored the only son, but looked at me and Ma Ming, and said, "I'm old, and I don't remember anything for a long time...... It is entirely your credit to be able to wake up for this moment today. If there's anything you'd like to ask, just ask now. ”

Ma Ming said: "Old man, you think too highly of us...... this is the look in the puzzled eyes of Uncle Cui, and he wants to round this matter over.

The old man stopped his explanation with a mere wave of his hand. Otherwise, how can I say that when I was young, I was also a lady from an official family, and when I reached this age, I still had a majestic momentum that could not be ignored. Ma Ming is usually quite alone, but after a strange silence, he went down the threshold.

The old man seemed to tug the corners of his mouth, and the folds of the old trees on his face were squeezed together with this pull, like an old woman in a strange tale in the mountains. She said, "Don't hide it, I've seen people like you before. It was a very inconspicuous man, a beggar...... Yes, a beggar. If he hadn't restrained that evil ghost, let alone me, no one who had anything to do with that incident back then would not have survived today. ”

Ma Ming and I glanced at each other, and we both vaguely guessed who the beggar in her mouth was.

Pondering the vocabulary, I carefully asked, "Are all the things you said before true?" The young grandmother of the Shen family died claustrophobic with the maid who had an affair with the young master, and also stripped the baby of her ......? ”

I won't be able to say the rest. The old man has been condensed by time, and there is a kind of calm calmness: "That's right." What happened back then was done by my aunt, and we, the bystanders who couldn't save us, were accomplices. It's because we're sorry for her, and it's understandable that she wants revenge. ”

I couldn't help but say, "Aren't you just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?" When it comes to fornication, both men and women are responsible, how can you be like you, kill a woman, and still have to curry favor with a man? Isn't it just feudal servility! ”

I said this a little heavily, Ma Ming quickly stabbed me in the elbow, and I shut up. When the old man said this, he sighed faintly: "What you said is good. I was ready to go to hell. Do you know why the Shen family moved away back then? ”

Ma Ming said: "Isn't it because of the establishment of the new country that you are going to run away?" ”

"Not really." The old man shook his head very slowly, but he still said firmly: "The Shen family moved away because it was haunted!" ”

"Within seven days, a whole dozen people died in the whole house! The young grandmother was driven half crazy, screaming and cursing at midnight every day that the came back for revenge. The dead are all accomplices who forcibly poured safflower water and made her miscarry, I was at the scene at the time, and somehow it was also counted, maybe I was still young at the time, and the premonition was very effective, after the death of the tenth person, I knew that the next one was myself, and I was terrified in my heart, and I was crying all day, my father wanted to take me back to the old house, and I didn't want to live or die. My instinct tells me that there is still a chance to survive in the manor, and if I really run away from it because of fear, I will only die faster! ”

The old man's voice was hoarse and slow, the speed of speech was not urgent, and the terror contained in the slight trembling of his voice was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which made me, the observer, also shudder, and couldn't help asking: "What happened later...... How did you get away with this? ”

The old man seemed to recall some particularly memorable past, and I saw that her eyes were slightly moist: "At that time, there was a boy in the manor who had a very good relationship with her, and he was the cousin of her outer eight relatives. He, he likes me. After knowing that Ma Wen was going to ask for my life, he said that his sister Ma was so kind that she would not harm me. ”

But I was still frightened, so he gave me the bracelet on his hand. Said that with this bracelet, Sister Ma will know that you are a kind person. I cried and asked if a person could still be considered a good person if he turned a blind eye to the atrocities and did not save the victims. He said that as long as he sincerely repented, it would be counted. ”

I listened to him, and I kept the bracelet wherever I went, and refused to take it off in the shower. That night was the longest night of my life, and in the bed, I heard my heart beating as loud as a drum, and I noticed countless times the sound of footsteps hovering beside the bed, biting my lower lip tightly and not daring to make a sound. After daybreak, the footsteps were gone, and I survived. ”

"I was rejoicing when I heard a scream from the courtyard, and I ran out and drowned the boy who had given me the bracelet in the well in the front yard. He was salvaged and his eyes were wide open and his expression was one of extreme fear. He—he was scared to death! ”

"The original way is that Ma Wen has just become a new ghost, and her wisdom has not yet been opened, and she knows people by breath. She took the person with the bracelet as her cousin, and her cousin as me, and killed people like this! ”

As she said this, a cloudy old tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and she burst into tears, her face full of guilt. After listening to the story, I had mixed feelings. The righteous speaker died young, and the one who could not be saved was ashamed of his eternal life, and he was the wrong person for the ghost avenger. Among them, there are mistakes, right and wrong, which makes people sigh.

For a moment, there was only the old man's whimpering cry in the lobby. Uncle Cui obviously didn't know that his old mother still had such a past, and he didn't know what expression to put on after listening to the whole process next to him, so he simply turned around and went out to wring out the handkerchief and wipe the old mother's tearful cheeks.

It took a while for the old man's mood to calm down. The effect of Fu Shui was almost over, and her eyes gradually became cloudy again, and she said with difficulty: "The people in the manor died in the end, and it was miserable. She still has a deep affection for the young master and has never hurt her. As for my aunt, she ended up with a crazy woman, and she never gave birth to a son and a half daughter in her life! You think that the Shen family crossed the strait to avoid disaster, but what you guessed wrong is that what you avoided was not a national disaster, but a ghost disaster. Are you the new developer of Ching Tong Manor? If you have a heart, listen to the old woman's advice: the house can't be moved, absolutely can't be moved! ”

Ma Ming suddenly said on the side: "What will happen if you move?" ”

"The person who bought the land 30 years ago asked the same thing as you, and within half a year, the whole family was restless and the family was ruined. The family's surname is Sun, and if you don't trust the old woman, you can check it out. I don't know if I realized that my time to wake up was running out, and the old man's voice became faster and faster: "If you want to renovate on the bright side, you can, but you must not move the foundation of the house!" ”

"Why is that?"

"At the beginning, because I was afraid that the ghosts were still entangled after crossing the ocean, the master of the family asked a master to cast a magic circle. The master doesn't know which horn dug up the rotten onions, but the means are also evil. At this, the old man seemed to be unable to stand such a fast pace, gasped for breath, and lived in his lungs, and kept making hoarse hoarse sounds in his throat. I was afraid that she would die suddenly, so I quickly poured a glass of water, but the old man waved my hand away, and the hot tea spilled all over the ground, and the steaming white mist looked like incense on the grave.

The old man said: "There are four thresholds buried in the foundation, all of which were removed from the temple, they are extremely filthy and extremely holy things, only they can suppress the immortal ghosts!" She was a terrifying character who killed ten people a week a hundred years ago, and after a hundred years, her mana increased again, if you move the foundation, just wait for the people of the county to bury you! Her tail note twitched up like a raised erhu, and suddenly her eyes snapped open, and a mouthful of bloody phlegm spat out of her wriggling bark mouth. Standing in front of her, I was startled and quickly dodged away. The old man fell straight before my eyes, and I reached out to help her up, only to find that her eyes were lowered, and she had not fainted, and her eyes had returned to their previous cloudy color, which seemed to be the effect of the water had passed.
