The female ghost who has a lot of opinions on the punishment, but she has never seen such a thing, she obviously has all the conditions and elements that an evil ghost should have, but she is cautious, shy and timid, which makes her, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop who has already turned on the battle mode, a little deflated all of a sudden.

In the gust of cloudy wind, Cuicui's red clothes danced wildly, but she lowered her head shyly, and then moved into the door inch by inch.

Li Mao originally wanted to stand in the way, but was stopped by Xing Ruyi's look. Because she saw that the old man had gotten up and walked towards Cuicui. He took the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and said to Cuicui: "The matter of the Sun family, they are at fault first, and the people you should punish have also been punished, and the rest of these villagers have also helped you when your mother and daughter were in trouble, so let me beg you, let them go?" If you have to seduce someone's soul tonight, then seduce mine, right? Anyway, I've lived enough, just in time to follow my wife and son on the road. ”

Cuicui pursed her lips and looked up at the old man, half silent.

The old man breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed again: "I know why you came here tonight, and I also know that you didn't come to my house to harm Han'er, but Cuicui, you also know that this Han'er is the only root of my family, if you are still alive, I have no objection to the matter of the two of you." But you are different from us now, people and ghosts have different paths, and you two have no future. ”

Cuicui's mouth pursed even tighter.

"Grandpa!" Han'er heard the sound and ran out of the room. He couldn't see Cuicui, but he heard what the old man said just now, so he asked with a little excitement: "Is it Cuicui?" Is she coming? I've heard people in the village say that those who have hysteria have seen Cuicui before they get sick. Can...... But why can't I see it! ”

Cuicui heard Han'er's voice, and the red dress that was dancing wildly gradually fell, and Xing Ruyi saw clearly that it was a red wedding dress. Cuicui looked at Han'er stupidly for a while, suddenly knelt down in front of the old man, and then kowtowed three times.

"What are you doing here? You are a yin person, I am a yang person, are you kneeling like this to fold my life? ”

Cuicui hurriedly shook her head and got up, but her mouth was still pursed, and her eyes changed from the shyness when she just entered the door to a small grievance.

Xing Ruyi poked Siniang beside him and whispered: "Why can't I understand this scene in front of me anymore." It seems that this old man is still hiding something and hasn't told me. ”

Siniang only felt that the wind was gusting in this courtyard, and she was cold and panicked, but she couldn't see the ghosts, so she couldn't answer the question of Xing Ruyi.

"I'm not you, and I don't look at those things, how do you want me to answer this question!" Siniang shrugged her shoulders, "Although I can't see it, I also listened to the conversation you just had, it seems that there is something between this Cuicui girl who just came and this son named Han'er." ”

"It's something!" Xing Ruyi stretched his waist and said to Li Mao: "Look at the bell, have you woken up?" By the way, bring me the new cloak that the fox gave me, this country seems to be much colder than the city. ”

Li Mao nodded, walked quickly to the door, and took the cloak from the carriage and got down. When I took the cloak, I took a look at the bell by the way, this girl also has a big heart, there are so many things in the yard, she didn't wake up from sleep, and she didn't even turn over.

"Is the bell awake?"

"No, I slept very deeply, it seems that the vomiting and diarrhea along the way are tossed and broken."

"In that case, let her fall asleep!" Xing Ruyi wrapped the cloak around his body, and asked casually: "Is the fox back?" ”

"There is no breath left by Yin Ye on the side of the carriage."

"This dead fox left me alone as soon as he left the city. Wait for him to come back and see how I clean him up! Xing Ruyi snorted, tightened the cloak again, felt a slight warmth on his body, and then walked to Cuicui.

"Do you like Han'er?"

Cuicui looked at Xing Ruyi, first shook her head, and then nodded lightly in her gaze.

"If you like him, why don't you go to him when you're alive? And the old man, I remember you said just now, Han'er is still unmarried. According to his age, he is considered an older unmarried young man in the countryside, right? People have affection and concubines, why didn't your old man fulfill it in the first place? ”

"Yes, grandpa, why didn't you agree to me being with Cuicui at that time. If you had agreed at the time, maybe Cuicui would have ...... with her mother."

"Shut up!" The old man scolded, "Do you really think that grandpa is that kind of ruthless person?" Do you think grandpa didn't see that you and Cuicui had a crush on each other at the time? ”

"Could it be that the old man dislikes Cuicui's background, because she is an alien wanderer?"

"I don't care where she came from, I can see that Cuicui is a good girl, and although her mother is sick, she is also a kind woman. If Cuicui can really become a family with my family, I, who is a grandfather, will also approve of it from the bottom of my heart. But she shouldn't, she shouldn't live in that house with her mother. ”

"The house?"

"It's that house, it's a ghost house in our village, but no one who lives in it will end well. Not only are you unlucky, but you also have to be unlucky with the people around you. Cuicui and her mother entered the village in the middle of the night, and on the first night of entering the village, they stayed in that house, which lasted for seven days. Later, although she moved out, her mother had been entangled by the things there, and I estimated that she was also entangled by Cuicui at that time, but she was young and could last a few more days.

Ruyi girl, you shouldn't be married yet, right? So you don't understand the heart of being a parent, being a grandmother. I know that Cuicui won't live long, and I also know that if Han'er is with her, it will definitely affect my whole family, what do you say about the matter between them, can I agree? ”

"If, as grandpa said, everyone who enters that haunted mansion has to die, why am I okay?" Han'er rushed to the old man: "I have also entered that house, but after all these years, I am not still alive and well?" ”

"Alive? Do you really think you're alive and well? The old man slapped his thigh twice angrily, then raised his eyes and looked at his wife with distressed eyes. The old lady smiled astringently and shook her head at the old man.

"I know, you don't want me to say it, after all, he is the only root left by our son and daughter-in-law. But if you don't let me say it again, I don't know what trouble he will cause in the future. When the time comes, I will also be gone, and who will be able to protect him? Old woman, he is not young, he will always grow up. ”

"Grandpa, who are you talking to? Is it grandma? ”

"Didn't you just ask me, after all these years, why are you still well? I'm telling you, it's because someone else has borne those misfortunes for you. ”

"What?"

"Do you remember what happened before you were seven years old?"

Han'er shook her head.

"Of course you don't remember, because when you were seven years old, you had hysteria, just like the people in the village."

"I'm hysterical?"

"That's right! When you were seven years old, in the summer because you were busy with farming, the big guys were in the fields, and you and a few children from the same village sneaked into the murderous house, which is the ghost house we just talked about. At night, you are all sick, in a trance, and in a daze. At first, they didn't think about it, because no one thought that you dead children would be so bold as to ignore the warnings of the adults and sneak away to that place.

But in the days that followed, children continued to die, and the whole village panicked, thinking that there was a plague. Later, it was the gentleman in the village who discovered the pattern here, because the children who died were all playmates who were good friends with you on weekdays. Then, someone finds the shoes dropped by one of the children near the haunted house, and the big guy realizes that you are in trouble.

That gentleman came from Chang'an and was very knowledgeable, so the big guy went to find a way for that gentleman. Mr. thought about it all night and flipped through a lot of books, and then he found that method, the way to hide the ghost and borrow the soul. This method is extremely dangerous, if it is done, it will naturally be safe, if not, then the person who has been borrowed will have to die for the person who has been borrowed. ”

"And then?" Han'er seemed to understand something, and he looked at the old man nervously.

"Your father and your mother only gave birth to such a sick person as you, how can they watch you die, so they used that method, and as a result, neither of them came back. My son and daughter-in-law are gone. Three days later, you wake up, but you forget everything. Your grandmother and I can only coax you to say that your father and mother died in an accident when you were very young.

The talisman on the door was painted by the gentleman at that time, and the small bed was indeed the one you slept in when you were a child. Later, it was always there to deceive the thing in the haunted house. Even your name, we don't dare to use it, so we can only give you another cheap name, I hope you can live up to your father's sacrifice and live peacefully.

But what about you, you evil obstacle actually hid it from us, and actually stepped into that house again for Cuicui. This time, it was your grandmother, and she couldn't bear to watch you die, so she used that method again, so your grandmother died. Do you remember what it was like when your grandmother was buried? The five flowers are tied, and the whole body is covered with that kind of rune paper. Do you know why? ”

"For the soul suppression!" Xing Ruyi answered on the side: "Although I don't know the specific situation, I probably guessed it." The soul of the person who has been borrowed from life to life will be sealed in a coffin for the rest of his life, and he will not be reincarnated for eternity and eternity. The reason why Han'er's grandmother was able to come out was also because of the light of the rain, because the rain seeped into the coffin and soaked the rune paper, so the rune did not work. ”

The old man didn't say anything for a while, and Xing Ruyi knew that he had guessed correctly. But then, her heart rose again, for she had just discovered that she and everyone present had ignored another question.

They all thought that the hysteria in this village was caused by the child of the shopkeeper Sun's house, and that behind this was the cuicui buried in the woods outside the village.

"Cuicui, let me ask you, but you did the hysteria in this village?"

Cuicui shook her head!

"It's not me! I only scared one person, and that was the prodigal son-in-law of the Sun family. ”

Cuicui said this, and pursed her lips again: "Originally, the son-in-law of the Sun family did something wrong, although I was angry, I didn't want his life, I just laid a puzzle and wanted to teach him a lesson." That night, my grandfather was also there, so I secretly sent my grandfather out, but when I went back and wanted to send the boy out, I found that one soul and one soul were missing from his three souls and six spirits. He wasn't a good guy in the first place, so I didn't think much about it, so I told him that I was Cuicui, and I hoped that he wouldn't bother us mother and daughter again in the future, and if he agreed, I would let him go. He remembered my name.

Grandpa should have already told you about the rest of the story. The Sun family dug up the grave, and even invited a Taoist priest to arrest me and my mother, but the Taoist priest was a bastard, and he didn't have any Taoism in himself, but the black dog's blood was so powerful that he almost killed me. As a last resort, I hid. ”

"And what's the matter with the red clothes on you?"

Cuicui glanced at Han'er shyly, but did not say anything.

"I burned it to Cuicui, and I promised to marry her, but my grandfather refused to agree to our family affair. Later, Cuicui ...... I have heard that the dead and the living are also able to marry. If we become married, Cuicui can stay here with me, and when I die, we will go on the road together, reincarnate together, and then continue to be husband and wife in the next life. I burned the dowry and the wedding dress, and told Cuicui that if she agreed, she would come to me in this wedding dress. But I can't see her! ”

"It seems that we are all wrong, the strange things in this village have nothing to do with Cuicui, but have something to do with you. Your grandmother died for you, and your soul should be trapped in that coffin for the rest of your life. But by mistake, your grandmother ran out, so the thing in the ghost house knew that she had been fooled, so she began to retaliate. Revenge not only on your family, but on the whole village. ”

Xing Ruyi was talking when he suddenly heard a "boom", as if someone's house had collapsed. The old man listened with his ears sideways, and his face changed. He looked at Xing Ruyi and said, "That direction, it seems to be a ghost house!" ”

"Let's go! Let's take a look, things in this village must be resolved. Xing Ruyi said and walked out of the courtyard first.

The old man knocked on the dry tobacco pouch, and walked out with him, and then said to Xing Ruyi: "I'll lead the way!" ”

I followed the winding road in the village all the way to the west, and after walking not far away, I saw a ruin, and it turned out that the collapsed was really the ghost house in the village that had been abandoned for many years, and it was also a murderous house that had been rumored in the village for many years, and people were afraid from the bottom of their hearts!
