Chapter 40: The Ins and Outs

The old lady moved half a step forward slightly, and said, "When I heard that night that you had come to our town, I knew that something was going to happen again. ”

At this moment, my doubts were greater than my fears, and I wanted to know too much what was going on here.

"Auntie, you, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" I'm a little bolder.

"Alas......," the old lady let out a long sigh.

"That's a long story......

The old lady sat down on the bench slowly, pondered for a moment, and began to tell the story of the past that happened nearly a hundred years ago......

It was the twenties of the last century, and it was the time of the Kuomintang warlords. This remote and secluded town was not immune to the war and the situation was volatile.

The old lady's maiden name is Mo, she is young and widowed, and she works hard to pull her only son Fang Zude.

Fang Zude has a sharp brain since he was a child, is good at dancing and playing with guns, and will always be the boss in the children's pile.

When he grew up, he took advantage of the fire in the troubled times and saw the right time to join the army. Within a few years, he returned to his hometown and became a local overseer at a young age.

Although Fang Zude is arrogant and ruthless, he is a very filial person. His father died early, and he was filial to his mother, Mrs. Mo. also spent a lot of money to buy this house, so that the old lady could spend her old age in peace.

At that time, there was still an army lurking around the town, and the commander was Fang Zude's sworn enemy.

One day in May of that year, Fang Zude made his fortieth birthday. He loves to watch dramas the most, so he chartered the most famous Dongfu Theater in the town to open a big play.

I was happy that day, I drank a few more glasses, and the brothers under my hand were also excited to watch the show, and they neglected to take precautions. As a result, when I saw Xingtou, I was attacked by the army outside the town, and a pot came to the end.

When the other party had already surrounded the opera garden, Fang Zude woke up like a dream.

A bullet flew and he was shot in the head on the spot.

The opposing army soon took control of the entire town. Fang Zude's brothers risked their lives to carry his body back to the Overseer's Palace.

Old Madam Mo was grief-stricken, but she knew that she had to hurry up and mourn her son's body in secret, so as not to cause another incident when the enemy came.

The old lady didn't dare to bury Fang Zude's body in the ancestral grave, for fear of being dug up by the enemy. She ordered her son to be carried to the bamboo forest in the mountains behind the town and found a place to bury him.

When the old lady said this, there seemed to be tears flashing in her withered eyes.

"O iniquity! At that time, I only thought that it would be safer in the bamboo forest, and the place where Cheng wanted to bury Zude happened to be where a spiritual vein was. The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes.

"I also learned later that people who die on their birthdays will rush to yin and yang, and they will be extremely evil. Zude was originally a violent death, and he rushed to the ferocity, and happened to be buried in the spiritual vein, alas, the evil is ......"

Mrs. Mo said that in May, seven years after her son's death, a famous troupe in the town killed all the actors overnight. When the police investigated the cause of death, it was found that the men had all been poisoned.

The crime scene was in the courtyard, when everyone gathered for dinner, and someone poisoned the food. Among the corpses in the courtyard, the only one who was found was the owner of the troupe, and the people at the police station suspected that the owner had committed the crime.

After two days of searching, the police finally found the body of the squad owner in the bamboo forest in the back mountain. According to those who were present at the time, the body of the class leader had begun to decompose, and it appeared that he had been dead for many days.

There was no evidence of death, so the charge was pressed on the head of the class owner at that time, and the case was hastily closed.

But a discerning person knows at a glance that the class master's death must have been earlier, how could he be poisoned!

Hearing this, I frowned, and suddenly thought of An Ruxin.

"Auntie, who poisoned it?" I asked.

"Well......" she sighed, "and that's what the main class did!" ”

"You mean, the ghost of the class master?"

The old lady nodded.

I suddenly understood: "That class master was already dead before. His soul was controlled by someone, or some kind of force, and he poisoned the entire troupe. ”

Old Madam Mo nodded: "You're right. That class master was killed by Zud. His ghost is also controlled by Zud! ”

The old lady went on to say that in May of the following year, another troupe had an accident and many actors died. The townspeople began to think that something was wrong.

Later, the old lady's health became worse and worse, and she still kept thinking about her son's failure to enter the ancestral grave.

At that time, the town was taken over by other forces, and Mrs. Mo thought about moving her son's grave.

She hired a well-known local Mr. Yin and Yang to do this. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Yin Yang turned around twice in front of Fang Zude's grave, people found a big problem.

It was Mr. who told her about the spiritual veins and the Yin and Yang life and death evils, and said that Fang Zude was very likely to have cultivated into a demon. The family did not dare to move this grave.

The old lady was angry and anxious, and she was ill, and died soon after.

After being buried by the people of the clan, Mrs. Mo's soul could not leave with peace of mind.

"I know that my son's soul has not left, he has become a demon. He loves to watch dramas, so he keeps killing the people in the troupe, controlling those ghosts, and letting them act for him. ”

Every year in May, it is the day when he rushes away. If a troupe came here, Zude would kill them. The old lady sighed.

"So I haven't left, Zude is a piece of my heart!"

After saying this, the old lady looked at the photo in my hand and said, "This picture was taken when Zu De first returned to town with the team." ”

As she spoke, she took the mutilated photo from my hand, held it in her hand and stroked it gently.

"My Zud is a dutiful child. When he was a child, life at home was difficult. One time I was sick and I didn't have anything to eat at home, so he went out to steal from other people. ”

The old lady was like a treasure, and her eyes showed a loving gaze.

"There was a nest of chickens in someone's yard, and the children I was not afraid of that day were somehow very afraid of chickens. But in order to get me something to eat, he jumped into the yard. ”

Old Madam Mo said and wiped the corners of her eyes again.

"Then he came home with food, and I was full, but he was so frightened that he fell asleep for a day and a night."

Looking at the sad appearance of the old lady, I also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Now you know that, lad. Let's get away while we can! ”

"Auntie, thank you for telling me so much. But I can't leave yet, my colleagues are being detained and dying, and I can't leave them alone. ”

The old lady nodded slowly and said, "You have to be careful!" ”

After saying that, she stood up, turned around and walked out slowly, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
