The old man slowed down for a while before he slowly calmed down. He choked up and told us about it.

He told us that his name was Zhao Chenggang, he had no children and no daughters, and he was 82 years old this year.

He and Xu Yan grew up together when they were young, and they can be described as childhood sweethearts. When they grow up, the two are also talented women in everyone's eyes.

When he was 20 years old, his family gathered 30 catties of food stamps and 10 feet of cloth stamps to propose to Xu Yan.

"You know, it was the fifties. Thirty catties of food stamps and ten feet of cloth stamps, such a bride price is already very large. Zhao Chenggang said.

I just heard some things about the old man at that time, and I couldn't understand what the concept of thirty catties of food stamps was at that time. But looking at the way he looks, it must be remarkable.

"And after that?" I asked.

Then he told me that Xu Yan's family agreed to their family affairs. Both families were very happy, and he and Xu Yan were also very happy.

However, everything was so beautiful originally. On the day of their wedding, something went wrong.

In those days, men and women were not allowed to see each other until they were married. Even childhood sweethearts like them are not allowed.

Finally, when the day of the wedding was held, all the relatives and friends arrived, and the wedding was held normally.

Zhao Chenggang said that on that day, he was very happy and drank some wine at the banquet.

"And then?" I asked him with some urgency.

And then ...... I...... I don't know what's going on either. When I woke up, I was in Gong'an County, on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Zhao Chenggang said.

"How did you get there?" I asked, confused.

When Zhao Chenggang heard my question, he shook his head painfully and said, "I don't know, according to the people who rescued me, they saw me in the Yangtze River by accident. At the time, they thought I was dead. When I was rescued, they found that I was still breathing and took me to the hospital. ”

"Huh? How so!? "I think it's pretty weird, too.

"Yes! I just remember happily greeting friends and family, and then I went to the toilet, and I don't know what happened after that. When I came to my senses, I was in Gong'an County. Zhao Chenggang said.

"And then?" I asked.

When his story came to this point, he hooked me and Senior Brother Liubuwu, and we were all eager to know what was going on.

Zhao Chenggang then told us that he had been lying in the hospital for a day, although his body was unusually weak. But he thought about the bride who hadn't lifted his hijab yet, and he couldn't wait to go home.

At that time, the traffic was very inconvenient. When a good Samaritan heard of him, he promised to send him back with a mule.

Along the way, he fainted several times.

However, when he returned home, he was dumbfounded, and many people surrounded his house. He didn't know what was going on. All he could hear was loud cries and quarrels coming from his yard.

When he appeared, everyone was amazed and came over to ask him where he had gone.

Because his body was so weak at that time, he fainted and died before he could answer.

When he woke up again, he was lying on his bed at home.

When his parents saw that he was awake, they immediately asked him. Before that, they had already learned something from the mouth of the good Samaritan who had sent him in a mule.

When they got confirmation from his mouth, the whole family was stunned.

And at that time, he was most concerned about Xu Yan, because he hadn't seen Xu Yan since he came back.

However, before he could ask where Xu Yan went. Xu Yan's parents, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, cried to his bedside.

Xu Yan's parents then angrily questioned him why he abandoned his bride and left with other women on his wedding night.

Faced with such a question, Zhao Chenggang was stunned. He had no idea what was going on.

"I ...... Where am I with the other women? I don't! He defended at a loss.

However, his father-in-law pointed at him and scolded: "You are still quibbling, several people have seen it with their own eyes, they saw you leaving with a woman in red clothes, and they were holding hands." ”

His mother-in-law also splashed on her at the time: "You stinky and shameless, if you want to go with other women, don't propose to our family!" We're sorry for you, you're going to hurt my daughter like this. Give back my daughter's life, give my daughter back! ”

So many years have passed, and when Zhao Chenggang told us this, he still looked like a new memory. One can imagine how profound this matter is in his heart.

"Well......" he sighed when he finished, and then went on to say to us, "You know what? When I heard my mother-in-law's words, I was stunned. I asked at the time, what's wrong with Xiaoyan? What happened to Xiaoyan? What happened to Xiaoyan? ”

He told us that he asked three times in a row, and his mother-in-law slapped him hard and then screamed at him, "Dead! He's dead! My daughter was killed by you brute!! ”

was slapped in the face, and when he heard this, he was as stupid as five thunderbolts.

Under the persuasion of other relatives, Xu Yan's mother and daughter were dragged away.

After that, he figured out what was going on.

The family told him that on the day of the wedding, someone saw him coming out of the toilet and walking straight out. Then, more than one person saw him and a woman dressed in red join hands in a carriage and leave.

Someone called out to him at the time, but he left as if he hadn't heard.

After the people in his family got the news, they began to chase. His family chased him all the way to the Yangtze River, but he didn't catch up. After inquiry, someone saw him get on the boat with a woman in red clothes and leave!!

But he didn't remember any of it, but everyone, including his parents, spoke eloquently. Let him be hard to argue!

"That'...... Then how could Xu Yan die? I asked.

"Hey......" Zhao Chenggang let out a long sigh, and then told us that after he left inexplicably, the house became a mess.

His family and Xu Yan's family were not far apart, so Xu Yan's family quickly got the news.

After Xu Yan's family came, the whole scene became even more difficult to control.

On the wedding night, the groom ran away with the other women. Such a thing was undoubtedly explosive in those days. The whole city came to see the excitement.

It was already a mess, I don't know who spread rumors again, before that, it was up to Zhao Chenggang to be with the woman in red.

Such rumors undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Let Xu Yan's family have a tough attitude and take Xu Yan home.

And Zhao Chenggang's parents also felt that they were at a loss and did not stop it.

Xu Yan is just a weak woman, where can she stand up to such gossip and cynicism. So, she had to wipe her tears and follow her parents home first.

However, no one expected that Xu Yan would lock herself in her room and cry after returning home with her parents. When encountering such a thing, Xu Yan's family was worried that she would not be able to recall, and arranged for her aunt to accompany her.

However, at dawn, after her family pushed open the door, they saw Xu Yan hanged, and everyone was already cold. And her aunt, who was in charge of accompanying her, was still asleep.

At this point, things are even more uncontrollable, and Xu Yan's family attributed all her death to Zhao Chenggang.

"And then?" I asked Zhao Chenggang.

Zhao Chenggang heard my words, glanced at me and said, "And then?" Then I became a ruthless and unrighteous negative man, living like a rat crossing the street. ”

Hearing his words, Liubuwu and I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

My brother and I both know that if what Zhao Chenggang said is all true, then there must be something at work in it.

"By the way, what about her family?" I asked.

But after asking, I immediately thought that this Zhao Chenggang is this age, and Xu Yan's parents should have passed away.

"Dead, all dead! All the members of their family fell ill and died within a few years of that incident. Zhao Chenggang shook his head and sighed.

"Then how did his house become like this?" I then asked.

"Hey...... Ever since the last of his men died, the house had been haunted. In the first few years, there was a lot of trouble. When he was in the past six years, the entire building was smashed. ”

In the nineties, the social environment improved, and the state paid for the renovation of her family's house. After all, this is the ancient city of Jingzhou, and such a building is really beautiful. ”

"After the house was renovated, it became a community center. However, it didn't take long for five more old men to die inexplicably inside. Everyone said that after the Xu family died, they became evil ghosts and entrenched in it. Once they came and went, no one dared to go again. ”

"Then, over time, his house became what it is now."

Zhao Chenggang said to us.

"Is that house still haunted?" I asked.

"It's long gone, it's just that there are too many dead people in that house, and no one wants to go there to get dirty. Or could the houses in this ancient city make it so barren? Zhao Chenggang said.

Listening to him, I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It's no wonder that the people we asked about the house were so snubbed.

"That...... Two, can you really let me see the swallow again? Zhao Chenggang asked me.

We've been sitting at his house for a while, and it's getting dark outside.

After hearing his question, I looked at Liubu.

"I'll help you ask!" Liubuwu stood up and said.

After he finished speaking, he said to me: "Mu Tao, give me the Yin card!" ”

I answered and took the yin card out of my pocket.

Although I haven't figured out what Xu Yan's situation is going on yet.

But this does not hinder my curiosity, I am very curious, when these two people who transcend time and space meet again, how they will react.

I saw that Liu Buwu took out a finger in his hand and slapped it on the yin card, and a blue light lit up, turning into a human figure and standing in front of us......
