"So, you immediately had an idea in your mind?" Xing Ruyi asked, Wang Fu was obviously stunned, and did not speak for a while.

He and Xing Ruyi looked at each other for a long time before he sighed slowly: "If I said that I didn't have an idea at the time, I was lying to the girl." I was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and I was in the middle of my youth, when I suddenly heard a beautiful girl, and that girl was still Ziyu, and said to me, the person she had always liked was me, how could my heart not throb? But I know in my heart that the throbbing may have nothing to do with liking, it's just a little bit of joy in a man's heart, stealing joy such a beautiful girl, she actually doesn't like Wang Shu, but likes herself.

Ruyi girl, have you ever seen Wang Shu when she was young, although she is not dignified, but she is bold, funny, and very righteous, and she is a man who is easy to please girls. At that time, in Luoyang City, there was more than one girl who fell in love with him.

For Ziyu, I don't deny it, and I also have some good feelings. But afterwards, I also asked myself carefully, she is not the kind of girl I like, so I have a good feeling, but I really like it, but it may not be. It's just that that night, I didn't have a chance to think about it so much, and my heart was very confused, especially after hearing what happened to her. ”

"What happened to Ziyu?"

"At that time, there were some small changes in my family, I no longer went to private schools to study, and I didn't have time to meet Ziyu. It was Wang Shu who often took the opportunity to buy tofu to look for her. Ziyu's age at that time was also the age when she should be out of the cabinet, and her father and mother were in a hurry, so they looked for her to tell her about her family. Ziyu heard it, so she asked Wang Shu to bring me a message, and also made an appointment to meet the ground. ”

"Wang Shu, he didn't tell you?"

Wang Fu nodded.

"Yes, he didn't tell me, but went to the meeting place himself." Wang Fu said, and looked up at the sky again: "Ziyu told me that the place to meet was the City God Temple where we met for the first time. She also specially brought me lotus leaf fried rice, not only with tofu dregs, but also with her mother's private bacon. As a result, she waited for a long time, but it was not me, but Wang Shu. Wang Shu said that I couldn't go to my house because of something, although Ziyu was a little sad when she heard it, she didn't say anything, but kindly gave Wang Shu lotus leaf fried rice to eat.

As a result, Wang Shu took the fried rice but didn't eat it, but bullied Ziyu in front of the old man Chenghuang. Ziyu said that she was calling my name at the time, and she hoped that I would be able to show up, and that I would be able to stop everything that Wang Shu had done to her. But I didn't show up, and Lord Chenghuang didn't hear her pleading.

After the incident, she returned home dejected. originally wanted to forget all this, but never thought about it, and the second question Wang Shu went to her house to propose. In front of her father, she was powerless to say anything, so she could only accept it. ”

"And then, what did you do after you heard all this with your own ears?"

"I" Wang Fu opened his mouth, his throat swelled rapidly, and finally hung his head down in frustration: "I didn't do anything!" I admit that I was also angry at the time, and I even rushed to the wedding banquet and wanted to question Wang Shu in front of many guests. But in the end, I didn't do anything. Ziyu is already married to Wang Shu, what's the point of me questioning again? Could it be that the people of Luoyang City knew that Ziyu was forced to marry because Wang Shu destroyed her innocence? What good is this for the province of Ziyu?

I stood there for a long time, just looking straight at Wang Shu's back. After that, I returned to the door and said to Ziyu that since things have been like this, Wang Shu really likes her, so let her live a good life. I remember her heart for me. Then I went back to the wedding feast, drank a lot of wine, and left in a daze. ”

"This, I heard Brother Wang say it just now. He said, "You met a man on your way home." ”

"I met a person, like pouring night incense, and there was a very strong smell on his body. I stumbled away from Wang Shu's house, and when I was about to reach the entrance of my alley, I accidentally bumped into that person. Although he was drunk, he still smelled the question on his body, and he was very angry. At that time, my head buzzed a little, and I was a little more sober. I apologized to him and glanced vaguely in the moonlight. I remember that his face was very pale, his facial features were very open, and he was the kind of man who was powerful at first glance, and I was panicked at the moment, and I was worried that he would find me trouble.

As a result, he was very nice, not only did not blame me, but told me to be more careful. Then I went home, and I didn't know what was going on outside. When I was awakened by the noise outside the door, I realized that Ziyu had found a short sight, and it was on the black locust tree outside the door. ”

"When Ziyu died, you really didn't hear any abnormal movements?"

"Nope!" Wang Fu pointed to his yard: "Ruyi girl, look at the direction of my yard, because it is cut out of the whole mansion, my house, is not boxy, Zhou Zhouzheng, but narrow and long." In the front yard, I tried to keep some of the original things, and the resting place was closer to the inside. Don't say that it is this kind of silent death-seeking, that is, loud noise, if the voice is small, it may not be able to be heard. Besides, at that time, I was still drunk. ”

"According to common sense, Ziyu should have been in the new house at that time, even if you want to find a short view, you can do it directly on the beams of the new house, why should you run to your door? Have you thought about this question? ”

Xing Ruyi originally thought that Wang Fu would hesitate, but he nodded immediately and said, "I vaguely know something, and this is what Wang Shu told me later." He said that Ziyu had always hated him. After the guests dispersed, he returned to the new house drunk, who knew that Ziyu was going to assassinate him. He subconsciously snatched the murder weapon from Ziyu's hand, pushed her to the ground, and followed her to the cave, and then he didn't remember what happened after that.

I guessed that after the incident, Ziyu felt sad, so she ran out of Wang Shu's house, and naturally ran to my door. Maybe she wanted to confide in me, or maybe she wanted me to protect her. Unfortunately, I was also drunk at home, and the door was closed, so there was no reaction. Ziyu thought she was extremely sad and sad, so she went to a dead end. Oh, by the way, Ziyu used her red belt to hang herself at that time, and on that belt, there was still an embroidered mandarin duck, and there was a word Fu hidden in the mandarin duck. However, Wang Shu didn't see it, and the people in the yamen didn't check it carefully, so I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I hid it. ”

Xing Ruyi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wang Fu sighed deeply again, and turned his gaze to the door, as if he was looking at the black locust tree outside the door: "Just now, Miss Ruyi asked me if I really let go of the incident back then." If I say that I don't have the slightest guilt in my heart, I am also lying. I, Wang Fu, am not a saint, I am just an ordinary ordinary person, and I even think that my measure is not big. The reason why I kept silent and endured silently was that on the one hand, I didn't want to do more things and cause more trouble, and on the other hand, I had been following Wang Shu since I was a child, and I had some awe of him, and I didn't want to provoke him in my heart. But there is always resentment.

I also thought about revenge, especially after my eldest son left, and when I saw the black cat buried under my house, I really wanted to kill him. But just like Xiao San said, I may still have some kindness, and I can't help but think about others, so until now, I haven't done anything. ”

"I think I've found the secret of your shadow!"

"What did Miss Ruyi say?"

"Uncle Wang, you are also a scholar, have you ever heard the word demon?"

"Demons? Is the girl talking about stupidity, hatred, and greed? ”

Xing Ruyi nodded: "Hatred, greed, delusions, obsessions, and resentment all belong to the demons. Inner demons can always exist, they can arise suddenly, they can be hidden, they can grow, they can devour people, and they can also train people. Uncle Wang, you don't seem to have pursued those things many years ago, and you seem to have let them go, but the demons in your heart have always been there, but you hid it well. Until your family's town house stone was destroyed by Wang Shu's grandson, that is, the youngest son of Wang Cheng's family next door, with child urine, your inner demon couldn't be hidden at all. ”

Wang Fu was told the central matter, and an old face turned red instantly. Fortunately, it was dark and no one else could see the blushing. He coughed softly and whispered, "Indeed! When I saw that the charm painted with cinnabar had been destroyed by the child, the fire came up immediately. I thought to myself, many years ago, your grandfather bullied me and killed my children and cursed our whole family, and I will not hold them accountable. My family has only been alive for a few years, and you have deceived me again, so my teeth itch with hatred, and I have dreamed several times that I want to kill that child and kill their whole family.

But when I woke up, I pressed this thought deeply in my heart. Because I know that murder pays for life. My junior is honest, and now he can't get married. If I become a murderer, what will he do with the rest of his life? ”

Wang Fu said, hammered his thigh twice, and then was a little annoyed, and some emotions didn't know where to come from, so he could only shake his head and sit aside, sighing constantly.

Wang San wanted to comfort his father and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"The so-called demon is born from the heart, Uncle Wang, the shadow you see is actually your own inner demon. Although there is some yin qi in your home, but with this stone pressing, you can't become a ghost for a while. In addition, Brother Wang also mentioned just now, saying that he saw Uncle Wang's shadow, like a black locust, but in fact, this is also a kind of inner demon. Because he grew up listening to the story of the black locust since he was a child, the instinctive Brother Wang was a little afraid of that tree, but he hid it in his heart like Uncle Wang. If you want to get rid of the demons completely, Ruyi also has a way here, but I don't know if Uncle Wang and Brother Wang are willing to listen to it. ”

"Ruyi girl, please speak!"

"Since this house is gloomy and unsuitable for living people, and there are many things happening in the house, and they are all sad past, Uncle Wang, you might as well sell the house and find another place, maybe Brother Wang will be able to start a family."

"The matter of the junior is also related to my house?"

"A house with such a heavy yin qi will inevitably suppress its own luck. I don't dare to say that there must be a relationship, but the impact is there. Uncle Wang, if you are trustworthy, you can find another house, and if there is still no good happening, I can also help Brother Wang set up a peach blossom game or something, and promote his marriage, so that he can move as soon as possible. ”

"In this case, thank you Ruyi girl! It's just that I'm in this house, and if I want to make a move, it's not a matter of a moment. Don't say that the location of this house is not good, it is the matter of the year, and the local people in Luoyang also know about it. ”

"It doesn't matter! Uncle Wang, you can think about it carefully, if you really want to make a move, Ruyi can introduce it here. As for the price, Uncle Wang can rest assured that it will only be higher than the market price. ”

When Wang Fu heard this, his two eyes lit up instantly, but then they dimmed again: "According to what the girl said, my place is extremely yin. It's not suitable for living people at all, and who will pay for it? ”

Xing Ruyi smiled: "Since Uncle Wang asked here, I won't hide it." Uncle Wang, your house, it is indeed not easy to make a move, don't say that it is in Luoyang City, even if you are a foreigner and know a little about feng shui, you will not want it. But Uncle Wang, I can buy your house. Although this house is not conducive to living people, it is excellent to raise some shade-loving flowers and plants. Uncle Wang, you can take a look at whether the flowers and plants in your yard grow better than others. ”

"I see. The girl is a rouge gouache, and she has to use some flowers and plants, so the girl wants to buy my house and use it as a garden. ”

"Uncle Wang, isn't your house originally a garden?" Xing Ruyi smiled: "Ruyi here, I have already made my words clear." As for Uncle Wang, whether you want to sell it or not, it all depends on your own mind. ”

"What the girl just said, the little old man will think about it carefully, and he will consider it carefully." Wang Fu arched his hand: "No matter what, thank you Miss Ruyi!" ”

"Uncle Wang doesn't have to be polite, if you think about it, you can let Brother Wang come to my store. You can also ask someone to estimate the selling price. No matter what the amount is, I won't bargain! ”

Wang Fu nodded excitedly.

Seeing that the night had come to the third watch, Wang Fu wanted to keep the sentence Ruyi and let her rest at home for one night, but was politely refused. After thinking about it, he had to instruct Wang San to carry the lantern and send the punishment Ruyi back.

As soon as I came out of the alley, I saw a team of people carrying white lights in the distance. On the street, the wind was blowing flickeringly, and it was very cold. Xing Ruyi squinted and saw that at the front of the team, there were a pair of paper figures carrying lanterns.
