Chapter 55: Practicing Courage on the Night Road

Yichun glanced at Yan Heyi and knew that it was better for him to open his mouth at this time than for him to speak. So she asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, did Brother Zhang say anything to you before the accident?" ”

At the mention of the dead man, Sister-in-law Zhang had red eyes in front of these two strangers, "The one who killed a thousand knives, with a stubborn temper like a cow, everyone said that Zhendong was haunted, but he didn't believe it, so he had to go and see it alone, and said that he would catch a ghost for our mother and son." It's a good thing to give your life in vain, leaving behind the lives of our orphans and widows! ”

"Sister-in-law, you mourn! Fortunately, Dali has grown up, and I talked to Old Man Yu about Dali's situation before I came. The old man said that there was a shortage of cleaning buddies in the newly opened silk village. I think that although Dali is young, he has sharp hands and feet, and he should be able to do it. Yichun smiled, but Sister-in-law Zhang looked shocked.

Dali is only eight years old this year, although he can help Sister-in-law Zhang do something, but it is far from being qualified to be a buddy. Besides, in Old Man Yu's shop, what kind of people do you want to recruit, why use a child? Sister-in-law Zhang knew that this was his old man, or that Yichun was taking care of his mother and son.

Giving people to fish, it is better to give people to fish, vigorously with this errand, Zhang's sister-in-law mother and son have a fixed income every month, although the money is not much, but vigorously should eat and wear in the shop, just this item, it saves a lot of money for the family.

"Girl, I, how can I thank you?" Sister-in-law Zhang grabbed Yichun's hand, but she was so excited that she didn't know how to express her gratitude. Yichun said with some shame, "It's also that I'm not good, I didn't say this until now, sister-in-law, you won't blame me, right?" ”

This is a great thing that fell from the sky, and it was too late for Sister-in-law Zhang to be happy. At that moment, her attitude changed, and she hurried to say, "Big sister, where are you talking about?" In fact, before the child's father went to Zhendong, he really said some strange things to me, and I don't understand it now, so I can only learn it from you! ”

Zhang's sister-in-law's man's name is Zhang Quanfu, and he is an honest carpenter. Because of his good craftsmanship, he is often asked to do work in the nearby ten miles and eight towns. Sometimes when he goes early and comes back late, Zhang Quanfu will inevitably walk at night.

If you walk a lot this night, you will inevitably encounter strange things. One night, Zhang Quanfu was worried about his wife and children at home, and it had passed the third watch, and he insisted on walking back at night despite the retention of the main family. Ten miles is nothing to him, as long as he climbs over a mountain beam to get home. He was carrying the money he had earned in the past few days, and his heart was full of joy. Zhang Quanfu quickened his pace, the silver bracelet he bought for his daughter-in-law today had to be worn on her wrist as soon as possible.

Although there was no graveyard on the way home, the grave buns in the woods still made Zhang Quanfu a little hairy. So as he passed through the woods, he couldn't help but turn his head to take a second look. It was this look that Zhang Quanfu was taken aback!

I don't know when a white figure appeared on the edge of the woods, and he squinted as if it were a girl. Zhang Quanfu is not stupid, he has heard a lot of stories about those ghost foxes, if this time passes, I am afraid that he will fall asleep in the field like those dumb scholars.

So he avoided the woods at a distance, and hurried away, not daring to look around. But Zhang Quanfu found that after a cup of tea, he was still next to the woods! Cold sweat was dripping down Zhang Quanfu's forehead, a chill came out of his heart, his neck turned stiffly, a scream stuck in his throat, the white figure was not far from the left-hand side, this time it was closer to him!

The man had his back to him, his long hair scattered and motionless. Zhang Quanfu knew that he was entangled in dirty things. He remembered that the old people said that a man has a yang fire on his head and shoulders, as long as he doesn't look back, he won't extinguish it, and those demons and evil people don't dare to get close. He secretly said to himself in his heart, "Don't look back, don't look back, don't look back!" He trotted up.

The wind was whirring in his ears, Zhang Quanfu held his breath, if it was normal, he could already see the town at this time. He didn't dare to look up, and ran for a while before he stopped wiping his sweat. He stole a glance around, and the grove was gone. He gasped and slowly raised his head, hoping that what appeared in front of him was a familiar town, but what really caught Zhang Quanfu's eyes was the back of the cloak!

Zhang Quanfu let out a roar, and at this time he couldn't tell whether he was scared or angry. Zhang Quanfu grabbed the chisel he was carrying, and shouted at the back, "Who are you, I have no grievances with you, what are you doing with me all the way?" ”

No matter how he shouted or screamed, the man did not speak or move. Zhang Quanfu mustered all the courage in his body, walked quickly to the front of the man, and thought that no matter whether he was a human or a ghost, he had to reason with him!

Zhang Quanfu never expected that the other side would still be the back! This time, Zhang Quanfu almost peed his pants, at this time, he actually did something that no one would have expected, Zhang Quanfu actually stretched out his hand and gave the other party a slap!

It was this slap that the figure disappeared! Zhang Quanfu sat on the ground with his buttocks, and it took a long time to go home in his wet pants.

Since then, he has spread the word about it and earned him the nickname "Zhang Daring". Sister-in-law Zhang said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't persuade him, when he came back that night, he was scared, others don't know, I don't know?" Those false names are unwanted, but he doesn't listen. On the day of the accident, he told me that someone had given him money to stay in the east of the town for a night, and if he could come back safe and sound, we would be rich! ”

"Sister-in-law Zhang, did Brother Zhang say what that person looks like and how old is he?" Yan Heyi listened for a long time and couldn't help but ask. Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head and said, "That's not true, he just said, there are 100 taels of silver." I'm not afraid of your jokes, a hundred taels of silver is nothing to you, but for us as a small family, we can't earn it for many years. ”

Yan Heyi thought that these tragedies caused by Zhang Quanfu might be a conspiracy carefully planned by someone, and his purpose was to make the people in the town afraid of the east of the town and not dare to enter. So he asked again, "What about the others, did they also go to Zhendong because someone spent money?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "I don't know about others, Widow Liu's man, like Dali's father, went because of silver!" ”
