Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, as the so-called Hades told you to die in the third watch, and will not leave you until the fifth watch. Everyone has a number of lives when they die, and when you are dead, Hades will send two of its ghosts to ask for your life, these two ghosts are the black and white impermanence of folklore, and they are specifically responsible for seducing souls and asking for lives.

A tall and slender person, dressed in white and with a white hat, a red tongue hanging down from his mouth, and holding a three-foot mourning stick in his hand, this is Bai Wuchang, his name is Xie Bi'an, known as the Seventh Master.

The other is short, dressed in black and hat, holding a soul chain in his hand, this is Black Impermanence, his name is Fan Wusuo, known as the Eighth Master.

This pair of ghosts, called the big and small ghosts in our countryside, is eerie and terrifying, coming and going without a trace. As long as there are people who are about to run out of breath, they will come when they hear the wind. Ordinary people talk about their color change.

The fifth master met them by coincidence......

It was a long winter, just after a few heavy snowfalls, the weather was clear, and the sun shone on the vast snowfield, refracting a golden light, and it made people dizzy. The fifth master is still picking up his own business, shouting from village to village.

When he came out of a village after finishing his work, it was already afternoon, because the days were short in winter, the fifth master packed up his belongings and set out on the way back to the village. Coupled with the slippery road in snow, it took several hours to walk, and by the time we arrived at the village, it was already night.

The fifth master's home is in the back street of the village, and he needs to follow the dirt road in the village all the way to the end. The dirt road passes through a clearing in the middle of the village, where the people of the village rest, and in the middle of the clearing there is a stone mill. This kind of stone mill was a common thing in the countryside, and there were no machines to mill rice at that time, so each village pressed a stone mill to grind corn and grain.

On such a snowy winter night, the surroundings are silent. Because of the reflection of the snow, it is not so dark that you can see things within five steps. The fifth master picked up the pick, and then walked to this open space. Thinking that I would be home soon, my heart relaxed, and my pace slowed down a lot.

Just walked forward unhurriedly, and everything in the clearing was clearly visible, and when the eyes of the fifth master were not easy, he swept towards the stone mill in the middle of the clearing. Suddenly, I found a person sitting on the floor of the stone mill, an old woman to be exact. Under the sparkle of the snow, I saw that the old woman was wearing a blue-blue jacket, the kind that used to be buttoned on the side, wearing a pair of thick cotton trousers, with leggings wrapped around her neck, and at first glance it was the foot-binding of women in the past, and a pair of small pointed cloth shoes on her feet.

Originally, this old woman was also facing the fifth master, but it seemed that she didn't want to meet the fifth master, and when she saw the fifth master getting closer, she turned her body to the other side. The fifth master didn't see his face clearly.

The fifth master was shocked in his heart, thinking to himself who would be sitting here at such a late hour? Or an old woman, her brain is quickly searching, everyone in this village is familiar, and whose family will it be? I muttered even more in my heart.

The fifth master didn't think about it, so he walked in front of the old woman with a pick, and the direction in which the fifth master walked was exactly the direction in which the old woman turned sideways, and after the fifth master walked over, he couldn't help but be a little curious. I want to look back and see who this old woman is.

As soon as the fifth master turned his head, he happened to look at the old woman head-on, only to see his face full of wrinkles, and his eyes stared straight at the fifth master, as if his eyeballs would not move. A pointed chin, and just above the chin is a black mole that looks like a soybean grain.

Mrs. Liu! The fifth master almost shouted, his feet were like garlic, he was almost unsteady on his feet, he took a few steps back, and after standing firmly, Liu Wuye spread his feet and ran. This run arrived at home in one breath.

After a long time of delay, Liu Wuye recovered from the fright just now, this old lady Liu has been dead for several years, and when the funeral was held, it was Liu Wuye who helped carry the coffin to the cemetery, and prepared to be buried after everything was in order. Everyone took the burial rope, bypassed the bottom of the coffin, and placed it in the grave at four angles, but the accident appeared, Liu Wuye was on the side of the coffin at the end, I don't know how to get it, the rope on the side of the coffin, I don't know why, it was broken with a bang, and due to the weight, the coffin tail first smashed to the bottom of the tomb.

Due to inertia, the head of the coffin was warped, and then the coffin nail was uprooted, and the coffin lid was uncovered with a bang. And the corpse of Mrs. Liu, all of a sudden, fell straight to Liu Wuye's side. Because it happened too suddenly, when Mrs. Liu's body smashed head-on, Liu Wuye had no chance to retreat. Old Mrs. Liu's face was almost attached to the fifth master's face.

Liu Wuye was so frightened that he shook his throat, and pushed Mrs. Liu's body aside, and when everyone dragged Liu Wuye up, Liu Wuye was almost so frightened that he couldn't walk.

Because of this incident, Liu Wuye is too familiar with Mrs. Liu's appearance. Why did you suddenly run into her today? What a ghost!

When the fifth master was trembling and covered the quilt and was about to lie down, when the knock on the door came, the fifth master was startled, and the fifth master shouted angrily: "In the middle of the night, who?" ”

"Fifth master, hurry up, the pillar daughter-in-law in the village has drunk brine, it seems that it can't be done, hurry up and go to help!" Kiko's voice came from the door.

When the fifth master heard that this kind of black and white thing was a big deal in the countryside, he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly got up and got dressed, and shouted to Xizi: "I know, you go first, and I'll come later." ”

The fifth master went out of the door, locked the door, and walked towards the pillar's house, which was on the edge of the open space in the village, and the stone mill was not far from the door. And this person who drinks brine is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Liu.

Is it such a coincidence? I just saw Mrs. Liu sitting on the stone mill in front of their house, and then there was news that her daughter-in-law had committed suicide by drinking brine. The fifth master arrived at Liu's house while thinking about it.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw crying from Liu's house, the lights in the house were on, and I vaguely saw that many people in the village had already come, all gathered in the house. The fifth master said and entered the house.

After coming to the east house, I saw that everyone was surrounding the kang, and the daughter-in-law of the pillar was lying on the kang, covered with a big green quilt, and saw that her face was sallow, her eyes were closed, and her mouth was wide open, as if she only had exhaled breath, but did not go in. Looking at such a scene, people must not be able to do it.

At this time, the person on the side briefly explained what happened. In the afternoon of the same day, because winter belongs to the slack season, the pillar and a few people played poker in the village, and the money was still valuable at that time, and the pillar was not very lucky, so he lost a few yuan. His daughter-in-law came to him and told him not to play. Zhuzi was very stubborn, so he didn't listen to his daughter-in-law, and scolded a few words.

His daughter-in-law came back as soon as she was angry, which is a very common thing in normal times, I don't know why today's daughter-in-law of the pillar, I can't think about it for a while, and I took out the brine used to make tofu at home and drank a few big sips. When the pillar came back and found it, it was too late. When it was dark, I saw that people were choking, but I don't know why, my body was cold, but I kept exhaling this breath, and I couldn't swallow it, so it has been like this until now.

The fifth master shook his head when he heard this, and suddenly felt the urge to urinate. The fifth master came out of the house, planning to go to the back of the pillar's house to urinate. Because at that time, rural toilets were generally located at the back of the house. Saying that, the fifth master came to the back of the house.

Just after peeing and about to tie the waist rope, I suddenly heard a faint voice from behind the low wall of the toilet. The fifth master listened carefully, and it turned out to be a conversation between the two.

I heard one person say, "It's here, it's here." ”

The other followed up and said, "This time it should be right!" ”

"That's it, you can't go wrong this time!" Another hitch.

The fifth master heard it in a fog, and he didn't know who was talking to whom. As he spoke, he looked up to see who would be on the other side of the low wall, and when he looked through the wall, he looked that way!

I saw a man dressed in white and wearing a high white hat, very eye-catching, his face was pale, and a red tongue stuck out of his mouth and drooped all the way to his chest. The other was dressed in black and wore a black top hat, his face was jet-black, and he was holding a chain dangling from side to side......

The fifth master intuitively flickered in front of him, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted. But he was afraid of making a noise, so he slowly retracted his head, almost backwards, until he reached the corner of the room, turned around, and ran into the house with a loud voice. When they arrived at the house, everyone saw that Liu Wuye's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't speak clearly. And at this moment, there was a sound of crying and grabbing the ground in the east room, and the daughter-in-law of the pillar was completely choked at this time. Everyone couldn't take care of the fifth master, and hurriedly busied about the aftermath of the pillar daughter-in-law.

The next morning, in the vegetable garden of the courtyard of the pillar's house, a series of clear footprints appeared, which could be clearly seen to be the footprints of three people, and there were traces of iron chains dragging on the side, which extended to the northwest corner of the courtyard. Because it is after the heavy snowfall in winter, there is usually no one walking in the vegetable garden, so on the flat snow, those marks are clearly visible and shocking.

Later, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law is a typical rural woman, uneducated, pungent and stingy. Before Mrs. Liu's death, she was very unfilial to Mrs. Liu, did not give the old lady food for a long time, and often beat and scolded, which is already a well-known thing in the village.

Therefore, people will eventually have an old man, and knowing filial piety and filial piety is the foundation of human beings. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, filial piety and self-kindness will eventually lead to good fortune, but vice versa.
