Chapter 20 Human Nature is Inferior
The early morning sunlight shines out from the window of the paper shop like a sharp sword, enveloping us, and we can see our shadows crisscrossing on the ground in the staggered light and shadow, but what makes me extremely shocked is that there is no shadow of Lao Liu on the ground!
Can a person without a shadow be a human being?
I stared at Lao Liu in fear, and subconsciously touched the chicken blood vine in my arms, and asked in surprise, "Are you dead?" ”
"it!"
Hearing my exclamation, Dong Dabao was also startled, and hurriedly took a step back and directly held the chicken blood vine in his hand, his whole body tense to the extreme.
Lao Liu was very plain, gently stroking Wang Po's cheek, with love in his eyes, he smiled bitterly: "That's right, I'm already dead!" ”
"Impossible!"
I exclaimed, "Can ghosts appear in broad daylight?" ”
Lao Liu said slowly: "The yang energy is heavy during the day, and the body of the yin soul is naturally uncomfortable during the day, but it is not impossible, this is just a misunderstanding of the world's perception of ghosts." ”
Dong Dabao asked directly to the point: "How did you die?" ”
Wang Po said sadly: "This is a bad fate, it was Qingling who killed her father!" ”
I was even more surprised, why did Huang Qingling kill Lao Liu? This is not logical, because the night I eavesdropped on Dong Dabao at Wang's mother-in-law's house, I knew that Huang Qingling understood her life experience, how could she kill her father?
"It's not Qingling's fault!"
Lao Liu sighed and said: "Qingling and her children are too resentful, they die without becoming a ghost, they wanted to kill Huang Zhiyuan to take revenge, but they didn't expect their lives to be controlled, and now they can't help themselves, your wife Liang Wan died tragically, including Qingling's desire to kill you is not Qingling's intention, I wanted to take her away, but I didn't expect it to be a bad thing!" ”
I clenched my fists and said angrily, "Who is behind this?" Why target me? ”
Lao Liu shook his head: "I don't know!" ”
Dong Dabao asked: "What is the soul of life?" ”
Lao Liu explained: "People have three souls, divided into life soul, life soul and yin soul, after the death of a person, the life soul will leave the body, dominated by the life soul, once the life soul disappears, the only remaining yin soul will be scattered into ashes." ”
Wang Po urged: "You can't fight the cold and can't fight the people behind the scenes, run away quickly, the farther you escape, the better." ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "We won't leave, what will my parents do if I leave?" What about Xiaowen's hatred? Now that I am haunted by ghosts, and I have become a fugitive, do I have to die for the rest of my life? ”
I paused, staring at Wang Po with straight eyes: "How did Huang Qingling die?" Why did she seek revenge on Huang Zhiyuan? I want to know the whole truth, word for word! ”
Wang Po sighed, looked at Lao Liu, and then slowly opened her mouth and told an extremely shocking secret story, and I was completely stunned after hearing it, my brain was buzzing, I didn't expect that there was so much ugliness of human nature behind the whole thing, it was incredible!
According to Wang Po, Huang Qingling only knew her life experience the day before she died, although she grew up in a fishing village, but she inherited the beauty of Wang Po, which can be said to be out of the mud and not stained, but after all, she was brought up by Huang Zhiyuan, and Huang Zhiyuan got along day and night, and her temperament was passed down from generation to generation, and her personality was a little greedy and vain!
For the sake of money, she became a wine girl, and the rumors in the fishing village came out, Huang Zhiyuan had a big quarrel with her after knowing it, and Huang Qingling moved out of the fishing village with Wang Po in a fit of anger and lived in the urban-rural junction.
Because her private life was too chaotic, she unexpectedly became pregnant a year later, and she wanted to use the child in her womb to threaten the baby ghost's biological father to take the throne, but she didn't expect that the man would disappear completely after she became pregnant.
Wang Po once persuaded her to kill the fetus, but Huang Qingling was unwilling, she wanted to give birth to the child and then go to the child's biological father in person, so after the belly gradually grew bigger, she quit her job as a wine girl and began to work in the supermarket in Lanhuanxi until the child was born.
After the child was born, Huang Qingling took the child to look for the child's biological father, but she didn't find it at all, Huang Qingling, who was used to the bright lights, couldn't stand the wind and food at all, so she had no choice but to take the child back to the fishing village, wanting to find Huang Zhiyuan to get some money.
Huang Zhiyuan is a kind of person who has been extremely poisoned by the feudal ideology of the old society, and the countryside has always regarded women's chastity as very important.
He knew that Huang Qingling was pregnant unmarried and gave birth to a child, and after the news came out, not only would he be scolded by others, but what was even more terrifying was that his daughter might not be able to marry for the rest of her life, so he thought about the extremely distorted attention of his personality, and he forced Huang Qingling to throw the child away, as if nothing had happened.
Huang Qingling was apprehensive and hesitant, after all, she was her own flesh and blood, but she also knew that Huang Zhiyuan was right, once she left the child, not only would her life be over, but the child would also suffer a lot when she grew up, not to mention that she couldn't find the child to get her biological father.
After hesitating repeatedly, Huang Qingling agreed to Huang Zhiyuan's request and decided to throw the child away, so they left the child by the river while there was no one in the village at night.
Huang Zhiyuan knew that there were more fishermen by the river, and as long as it was dawn, the child would be picked up, but when he put the baby on the riverside, he suddenly found that the baby had a wad of cash and a jade pendant in the baby's swaddling clothes.
The cash is the money he saved himself, and the jade pendant is the jade pendant he got when he colluded with the black hands in the capital to burn and loot the Liu family, which is worth a lot of money.
Hearing this, I interjected and asked, "That jade pendant is yours?" ”
Lao Liu said: "That's right, that piece of jade pendant is the famous prostitute Li Shishi of the Song Dynasty, I heard that there is a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, my family got one by chance, and the whereabouts of the other piece are unknown, as for whether it was given to Li Shishi by Song Huizong, I don't know." ”
He paused and said: "I don't have to hide it from you now, the reason why the people in the capital are chasing and killing my family is for this jade pendant, but I don't know what the story behind the jade pendant is." ”
I didn't expect everything to be for a piece of jade pendant, but the jade pendant was sold by us, and I don't know how many people have changed hands, so I immediately nodded to Lao Liu, didn't ask more, and continued to listen to Wang Po's narration.
Huang Zhiyuan was very angry, because the jade pendant was too important to him, he knew that the black hand in the capital was chasing and killing the Liu family for the jade pendant, he had been holding the jade pendant for all these years, including checking a lot of information, but he found nothing, and he didn't dare to sell the jade pendant, he was worried that it would attract the black hand of the capital, so he angrily asked Huang Qingling why he put the jade pendant in swaddling clothes?
Huang Qingling is the child's mother after all, although she ruthlessly abandoned the baby, but she didn't want the baby to suffer, so she secretly took Huang Zhiyuan's money and the most precious jade pendant and put it in swaddling clothes, wanting the family who picked up the baby to use the money to raise the baby well.
Huang Zhiyuan was angry and wanted to snatch back his things, Huang Qingling stepped forward to stop it, and the two quarreled by the river, and in a hurry, Huang Qingling roared at Huang Zhiyuan: "The child is mine, now I don't throw it away, even if I am scolded for the rest of my life, I will raise the child, you can't control my business!" ”
Huang Zhiyuan slapped Huang Qingling's face: "I'm your father, I should take care of your affairs, return the money and jade pendant to me!" ”
Huang Qingling said angrily: "Bah, you are not qualified to care about me at all, my father's name is Liu Mofeng, you killed my father and then snatched my mother, don't think I don't know anything." ”
Huang Qingling's life experience was told to her by Wang Po, and it was for this reason that Huang Qingling felt that Huang Zhiyuan owed their mother and son, so she would return to the fishing village to find Huang Zhiyuan to get money, which she thought was right.
After Huang Zhiyuan heard this, he froze in place like five thunderbolts, and the matter of the Liu family decades ago instantly came to mind, he thought that he was the winner, but he didn't expect that the daughter he had raised for nearly thirty years turned out to be the flesh and blood of Liu Mofeng, who he had been jealous and even hated all his life.
This heavy blow, thirty years of nightmares suddenly broke out in an instant, Huang Zhiyuan angrily pressed Huang Qingling's head into the river, on the riverside of the cold night, the sound of the water roared, the baby kept crying next to him, Huang Qingling struggled wildly in the water.
When the wind stopped, the baby had stopped crying, Huang Qingling was no longer struggling, Huang Zhiyuan was so frightened that he let go in a panic, but it was too late, Huang Qingling had already fallen straight into the river, and she was angry for a long time!
Huang Zhiyuan didn't know why he had such a big temper, and even lost his mind in a rage and killed the daughter he raised with his own hands, and threw Huang Qingling's body in the river in a panic, and he was relieved after watching the corpse sink to the bottom and float away.
After disposing of the corpse, his nervous heart relaxed, and he hurriedly turned around and picked up the jade pendant and money in the baby's swaddling clothes, and looked at the crying baby, Huang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth ruthlessly and turned away.
However, at the moment when he took the money and the jade pendant, a fisherman who collected the net in the middle of the night witnessed everything on the other side, and this fisherman did not see Huang Zhiyuan kill Huang Qingling, but only saw Huang Zhiyuan take the money and jade pendant in the swaddling clothes.
The fisherman wanted to save the baby, but because it was on the opposite bank and the tide was high on the river, by the time he made a detour to the other side, the baby had been swept into the river by the tide and drowned.
The fishermen blamed Huang Zhiyuan for doing something lacking in virtue, so after a little speculation, he passed out the version of the lack of virtue that we had heard before.
Huang Zhiyuan saw an abandoned baby by the river, not only did he not care, but he also took the money in the swaddling clothes, causing the high tide in the river to drown the abandoned baby!
After Huang Qingling's death, she and the baby ghost turned into a ghost and came to Huang Zhiyuan to take revenge, and at this time, Lao Liu also met Wang Po again, so several people decided to kill Huang Zhiyuan, and then I and Lao Liu inspected the riverbank and met Huang Zhiyuan's body!
Call......
After listening to Wang Po's narration, I took a deep breath and my mood became very complicated, I didn't expect that such a cruel story was hidden behind the matter, this struggle and torture about human nature is too cruel.
Perhaps, the inferiority of human nature is only hidden by the appearance, and when the crisis comes, the inferiority of human nature will be exposed!
Dong Dabao asked suspiciously: "When did Huang Qingling and the baby ghost be taken away by the mastermind behind the scenes?" How did he know all this and set it up? ”
Lao Liu shook his head: "I don't know, but this person is very powerful, he even knew about my grievances with Huang Zhiyuan from the beginning, so after we killed Huang Zhiyuan, he took the life and soul of Qingling and the child to do things for him, the purpose is to take Xiangnan's heart on Xiangnan's birth day!" ”
I looked confused: "What are you doing with my heart?" And why on the day of birth? ”
Lao Liu said: "I only know so much, it is certain that this person knows you very well and knows you very well, so you must be careful of the people closest to you!" ”
After speaking, Lao Liu got up with Wang Po, and I hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" ”
Lao Liu said: "I owe Wan'er too much in this life, I have spent my whole life in hatred, until I suddenly understood after my death, hatred is the biggest contradiction of people, as long as you can be with the person you love the most, any hatred can be let go." ”
I bit the snake's head and said coldly, "But the person I love the most is dead!" ”
Lao Liu sighed and said no more, and slowly left the paper shop with Wang Po, and after a while, Dong Dabao said, "Nanzi, how is it?" What do you think? ”
I pinned the peachwood sword behind my waist, and pulled the chicken blood vine tightly in my hand and said sharply: "Either he dies or I die, tonight, I will kill Huang Qingling and the baby ghost, so that the real mastermind behind the scenes will appear!" ”
