Extra 14: Ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night (II)

The fox's eyes dimmed, but Huang San rushed to the door and pulled the door open.

Ling Erniang, who was standing outside the door, was startled, and her face turned pale when she looked at Huang San.

"Mr. Huang, it's me!" Ling'er Niang stroked her chest: "I saw that this house needs to be cleaned carefully before it can be used, but the tiger girl has just given birth, and her body must be weak, and she needs to take supplements, so she rushed home and boiled some fish soup." Rest assured, they are all small crucian carp that are only caught in the morning, and they are most suitable for making soup. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xing Ruyi had already arrived at the door, looking at the crockpot in Ling'erniang's hand, her heart was hot, but she didn't know what to say.

Ling'er Niang smiled softly: "It's good if the girl doesn't dislike it." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Xing Ruyi stood at the door for a while carrying the crockpot containing the soup, until he saw the bell girl leave, and then turned around and returned to the room.

The monster primordial gods brought back by Huang San were for the tiger sister to nourish her spirit, and these fish soups just gave her a good nourishment. After the tiger sister drank the soup and put the tiger to sleep, she concentrated and began to practice.

Xing Ruyi had nothing to do, so he naturally chased after Huang San and asked him to continue the story that had not been told before.

It is said that the youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding got up in the middle of the night and heard someone patting the door panel of his house at a convenient time. In the middle of the night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but the knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, and the child was frightened, so he hurriedly ran back to the bed and asked his father for help. But the strange thing is that such a loud voice, coupled with the child's frightened cries, did not wake up the shopkeeper Ding and his wife.

When the child saw that he couldn't wake up his father, he shrank himself under the covers, trying to wait for the terrible voice to disappear. Strange to say, the voice stopped quickly as if it had really sensed.

The child nested in the quilt and listened to the sound for a while, and when he saw that it was really quiet outside, he had the audacity to secretly open the gap and look out. As a result, he saw a pair of eyes!

"A pair of eyes? Whose eyes? ”

"Madame Ding's eyes!"

Huang San said faintly, and glanced at the beam.

The youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding suddenly stopped because of the sound of knocking on the door, so he secretly lifted the corner of the quilt and looked out timidly. As a result, a shadow suddenly cast over his eyes, and in that shadow, he saw a pair of eyes. The whites of the eyes are all over. The youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding was stunned. Then he heard a voice in his ear asking, "What are you looking at?"

The youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding fainted with a scream. But before he passed out, he heard the voice being his own mother's voice.

The next day, the sun was three poles, and the shopkeeper Ding opened his eyes. He first saw his lady hanging from the beam. Unlike ordinary people who hang themselves, the head of the shopkeeper Ding hangs in a very strange posture, and the eyes that are turned up without seeing any pupils are staring at the shopkeeper Ding, as if to say, you will die next.

Shopkeeper Ding was frightened, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but as soon as his feet landed, he suddenly remembered that his youngest son slept with them last night. So I was busy rummaging in bed. Finally, in the corner at the end of the bed, the little son was found curled up in a ball and had a high fever. The youngest son was still talking in a daze: Knock on the door! Knock on the door!

Shopkeeper Ding didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed out with his little son in his arms, and called the family and servants in a row. In the end, of course, it also alarmed the people in the yamen.

Mrs. Ding hanged herself and finally sentenced her to suicide, but everyone in Ding's mansion knew that her wife died very strangely, and locked the object of suspicion on the body of the shopkeeper Ding.

Suspicion is just suspicion, and speculation is just speculation. The people in the government could not find any evidence to prove that Mrs. Ding was killed, although they also felt that the scene of the crime was a little strange.

The youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding was the only witness that night, but because he was too frightened, he kept having a high fever and became stupid. Soon after this incident, the youngest son of the shopkeeper Ding choked himself to death because he fell ill while drinking water. ”

"Choking yourself to death by drinking water? Could it be that there really is such a bizarre and strange thing in this world. ”

"Of course not! Although mortals can't withstand birth, old age, sickness and death, they won't really choke themselves to death, especially these seemingly crazy and stupid people, and their sense of self-defense is even higher than that of ordinary people. The death of the shopkeeper Ding's youngest son was the same as his mother who hanged herself, all of whom were harmed by ghosts, and all of this came from the kindness of the shopkeeper Ding. ”

"I've heard of good intentions doing bad things, but I ...... good intentions to kill my wife and children" Xing Ruyi carefully counted the memories in his mind, and then said: "Well, it seems that I have heard it too." ”

Huang San smiled, but he continued to tell his story, which was also the story of the Ding family.

The wife of the shopkeeper Ding suddenly hanged herself in the middle of the night, and the youngest son, who was the most favored, not only became stupid and stupid because he was frightened, but also took his life by a sip of tea. Shopkeeper Ding couldn't bear it, and he fell ill all of a sudden. Seeing this, the housekeeper in the house also knew that the important affairs of the Ding family had gone, so he distributed silver taels and dispersed all the servants in the Ding house, and finally he carried a bag of silver to the bed of the Ding shopkeeper and told the Ding shopkeeper. His ancestors used to make a living as a fortune teller, but in his lifetime, because he had no talent, he changed his career to become a housekeeper. has been taken care of by the shopkeeper Ding, and it has been a good life over the years.

The bag of silver in his hand was left over after he had dispersed the servants in the palace. In addition to the bag of silver in his hand, before leaving, he had to tell Shopkeeper Ding something. That is, the death of the lady and the little boy was not an accident but a ghost. As for who this ghost is, Shopkeeper Ding will be able to see it in a few days.

This man is about to die, and he is also a little sensitive. Shopkeeper Ding knows very well that he won't live long, and the only thing he can't let go of in his heart is the death of his wife and children. He gave the bag of silver to the butler, hoping that after he left, the butler could bury his bones and his wife and children together, and even if he arrived in the Netherworld, the family could still get together in one place and live a few days of reunion.

After the housekeeper shirked it, he agreed.

Sure enough, the next night, Shopkeeper Ding heard a knock on the door in a daze. He suddenly understood what the knocking sound of his youngest son was when he was there. He struggled to his feet, walked to the door, and glanced out through the crack in the door. It just so happened that there was also a person outside the door who was squinting and looking inside.

The man's eyes were red and red, but the skin around his eyes was bulging and white. Shopkeeper Ding was so frightened that he immediately took two steps back. When he came to his senses, he rushed to the door again and pulled it open. ”

"Isn't it the same as when you pulled the door?"

Xing Ruyi listened nervously, but it was not easy to show it, so he immediately interrupted.

Huang San still smiled faintly, and then nodded: "I guess it's about the same." ”

"And what about when the door opens? Shopkeeper Ding, didn't he also see Ling'er's mother? ”

"Nope! After Shopkeeper Ding pulled the door panel hard, he didn't see anything. The courtyard was empty, except for the few lanterns with T-characters hanging from the cloister. Shopkeeper Ding stood at the door for a while, rubbed his eyes, and closed the door again.

Just as he turned to go back to the bed and lay down to die, he saw an old lady standing in front of the bed. That old lady was still someone he knew. ”

"The ghost in the butler's mouth?"

Huang San nodded: "It's a ghost!" It's a selfish ghost, but it's also a poor ghost. ”

Xing Ruyi looked up at the beam above his head, on which hung a woman's belt that had been tied into a loop. The belt is indigo, and there are some flowers embroidered on it, because the pattern is a little abstract, and for a while it is impossible to distinguish whether it is magnolia or something else.

There was a lot of dirt on the belt, and in addition, there was a faint black halo around it. Xing Ruyi knew that those black halos were all left by the deceased. It shows that this person who hanged himself had resentment in his heart before he died.

Xing Ruyi sighed lightly and hung her head.

Huang San followed her gaze and looked up, and then said: "Since this house has changed owners, this old man's things should not be left behind, and it is not an auspicious object." ”

As he spoke, Huang San stretched out his right hand upward, and the belt slowly fell into his hand. Huang San looked at Xing Ruyi and said, "This thing should also be dealt with." ”

Xing Ruyi raised his eyes and didn't say anything.

Huang San's story continues.

"That old lady, Shopkeeper Ding knew her, but when I met her, she was still a living person.

At that time, the Ding family's house had just been completed. Shopkeeper Ding was a hospitable person, so he invited the neighbors to come as guests, and the big guys ate and drank, and then it was the second half of the night. Shopkeeper Ding was slightly drunk, but he still remembered his etiquette as a host, he personally stood at the door and sent the guests out one by one. When he was about to return, he heard a dog barking, and then he saw a dirt dog, lying in the corner of the wall, looking at him with a blank eye.

A gust of wind blew, and Shopkeeper Ding's wine also woke up a lot. He looked into the dog's eyes and ordered his men to wrap up some of the leftovers. However, the dog did not eat it, it stared at the paper bag for a while, then took out a chicken leg from it, ran quickly to the shopkeeper Ding, and threw the chicken leg into the well.

Shopkeeper Ding was stupid, and the servant who came out with something next to him was also stupid. The most puzzling thing was that the dog threw the rest of the rest into the well bit by bit, except for the last remaining meat scraps.

For several days, the dog seemed to recognize the shopkeeper Ding, and came to his door on time to beg for food. The abnormality of the earth dog finally aroused the curiosity of the shopkeeper Ding. He spent a lot of money to find a brave man on the street who stretched out his hand well, and let him go down into the well to have a look. As a result, the guy found a man at the bottom of the well! ”
