Sister-in-law Song continued: "When the fox boy opened his mouth and bit me, I was already too scared to move, and I felt that there was a bang, and the fox hit me completely, and the back of my head touched the water tank, and I fainted all of a sudden, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, there were crying all around me, and this cry was only for the dead, am I dead?

I've heard old people say that when this person dies, he hears and sees everything just as he did when he was alive. When I thought of death, I was really anxious, and I thought that I would never be able to be with my master again in this life, and my life would be dyed with yellow springs from now on, and I felt very sad when I thought of this.

So I hid in the vat and cried, first quietly, then loudly, I cried, at first nothing, because the people in the house were crying there, but loud, the house was suddenly chaotic, the crowd was frightened, I felt that I was dead, I didn't have the heart to see why those people were messing up, just a ghost crying in the tank.

At this time, I heard someone say: "Dahai family, we know that you died unjustly, but people can't be resurrected after death, we will definitely burn more paper money for you, so that you can live a good life over there." ”

As soon as I heard that it was the third sister-in-law who spoke, the third sister-in-law was the most daring among women, and no one else dared to speak, only she dared to speak. As soon as I heard the voice of the third sister-in-law, I hurried up, and when I was halfway up, I fell into the tank again, and there was another exclamation in the room, which frightened those people and shouted loudly, these people were women's voices.

Just when I fell into the tank, I suddenly felt pain in my body, and I was happy all at once, because I had heard the old man say since I was a child that this ghost has no weight, my body is heavy, and I am sure that I am not dead. ”

At that time, every old man had a deep understanding of ghost knowledge, they were no worse than the current folklore experts, speaking of ghost knowledge, a day can not be finished, a merchant in the village surnamed Pan, his personal experience, from the side of the verification of the ghost has no weight.

The merchant traveled all over the world and made his home everywhere, but now there is no more, but at that time, there were many people, carrying a pick, holding a rattle in his hand, shaking the rattle, and selling needles and threads there. The merchant once met a ghost in the mountains and hit the wall, a man saved him, since then the two became brothers, this brother is very strange, every year in July, he came to find the merchant, the sun set at night, and in the morning the rooster crowed, the merchant asked him why he went so early, he said that he got up early to work hard, and he did not live in the evening.

On that day of that year, the merchant walked the streets and alleys, and found a place to live at night, just arrived at the door of the store, his brother came again, when the two people lived in the store, the shopkeeper stared at them, looked at them a few times and did not speak, and the next day, the merchant went to pay the store money, the shopkeeper did not want to, and said that he would not accept the money of the dead.

This made the merchant very strange, how could his money be the money of a dead man, so he asked the shopkeeper what was going on, and the shopkeeper said: "You see that your hall is dark, the clouds are covered, and there are no days to live, and your brother is anxiously waiting for you to be a substitute for the dead ghost, so that you can get rid of it." ”

The merchant was very angry when he heard this, saying that he had known his friend for three years, and if it was a ghost, he wouldn't be able to see it? The shopkeeper said: "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, your affairs, you are in charge, if you doubt in your heart, take two green onions from the kitchen tonight, one for you and one for your friend, I will not be at home tomorrow, if the green onion under your friend's body is the same as yours, then my old man is wrong, and when I come back, I will apologize to you, if the green onion has not changed, you will buy a chicken, if he lets you go to his house, you must not enter the house, otherwise you will not be able to come out." ”

The merchant heard a little half-convinced, his friends have a lot of strange places, come at night and dark, the chicken is allowed to go, can not stay, so the merchant took out two green onions from the kitchen, did not sell goods during the day, put the green onions under the mat at night, just put the friend came, happily said: "Brother, I have been eating and drinking with you for three years, I feel embarrassed, my home is also cleaned up, my house is cleaned up, tomorrow you go to my house to live." ”

The merchant nodded yes, and secretly observed the person, only to see that the man was very light, and he did not look heavy at all, and the merchant did not dare to say it. On the second day, the merchant opened the mat and saw that under the friend's mat, the green onion had not changed at all, and the green onion under his own mat had been rotten, so he believed the shopkeeper's words, and went to find the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was not at home, at this time he remembered what the shopkeeper said, and quickly went to the street to buy a big rooster.

In the evening, my friend came again, and when he saw the merchant holding a big rooster in his hand, he was very unhappy and said to the merchant, "Brother, what are you holding a rooster?" That rooster monster is scary, I'm so big, I'm born scared of this thing. ”

The merchant said: "Brother, let's have a brother, I have to prepare some snacks when I go to your house to drink, right?" I've got to take this big. ”

No matter what, the merchant just doesn't let go, but he wants to take the big rooster, and in the end there is no way, but let the merchant take the big rooster, I don't know how far he went, to a hut, the hut has no windows, just a lonely hut, the merchant at this time, has been wary of his friend, no matter what the friend says, he just doesn't go in, his friend is anxious for a while, there is a change, only to see his face, those skin and flesh, piece by piece of falling off, in the blink of an eye exposed Bai Sensen's bones, the whole became a skull, There was a ghostly light in his eyes, and the meatless mouth was particularly terrifying.

The merchant's friend is really a ghost, at this time the ghost's fierce appearance is revealed, stretching out the hand of the white bones, about to pull the merchant, then the merchant pinched the rooster, the rooster made a clucking sound, the ghost seems to be very afraid of the rooster crow, as long as the rooster clucks, the ghost will quickly retreat, just like this until the rooster crows on the village, the ghost entered the house, scolded in the house: "The little merchant raised by the bitch, Lao Tzu has pit you for three years, and he has not pitted you in." ”

The merchant saw the ghost go in, and ran back with the rooster in his arms, until he ran to the place where he lived, and it was already dawn at this time, and he happened to see the shopkeeper coming back, and the merchant went over to kowtow to the shopkeeper, thanking the shopkeeper for saving his life. The shopkeeper said that this was only half of the salvation, and the ghost would come to him again, because the merchant's body was special, it was a pure yin body, and such a body was easy to be used as a stand-in.

When the merchant heard this, he knelt down and begged the shopkeeper for help, and the shopkeeper asked him to get a peach peg, and then drew a talisman for the merchant, bought cinnabar, and let the merchant dye it on the peachwood peg, and waited until noon, and fixed the peachwood peg on the door of the tomb, and if he couldn't nail it, he bit his finger and dripped blood on it.

The merchant listened to the shopkeeper's words, and went to get a peach peg, painted with cinnabar, with a yellow paper charm, and went to the door of the tomb, saying that it was also strange, when he smashed the peachwood peg, after smashing in, the peachwood peg actually went up by itself, several times in a row, and finally the merchant bit his finger and dripped on the peachwood peg, and the peachwood peg was nailed into it at once, and just nailed in, the strange wind stopped all of a sudden.

The merchant told us a few times about this matter, and said that ghosts look the same as people, but in fact there is no weight, and there is a name and a surname at the time, but now I have forgotten it. Sister-in-law Song continued: "I stood up for a while, I didn't stand up, I quickly pinched myself, I felt pain in my body, I didn't seem to be dead, so I used my two arms to stand up on the edge of the cylinder, trying to stand up."

At this time, someone shouted that the female ghost was going to climb out, and when I stood up, the people in the house ran away, leaving only the bold and enthusiastic third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law thought I was a ghost, and persuaded me to open a point, these are all fate, let me go to the underworld to report, she must find someone to give me a trip to the rich and noble, I quickly said: "Third sister-in-law, you don't talk about gods, I didn't die, the whole person is fine, the fox didn't eat me, you see that I have a shadow." ”

After hearing this, the third sister-in-law hurriedly ran over and touched me, and then shouted loudly, saying that I was not dead, and that was the end of the matter. ”
