My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua, the ancestor of the Hu family was a well-known landowner in ten miles and eight townships, and in the most glorious period, he bought more than 40 houses connected by three alleys in the city.

There is a folk proverb: "You can't be rich for three generations." This is very reasonable, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the family, they can't stand the squandering of the descendants of the losers.

In the years of the Republic of China, it was passed on to my grandfather's generation and began to fall into the middle of the family, first divided the family, Hu Guohua also got a lot of family property, enough to live a life without worry, but he refused to learn well, of course, this is also related to the social environment at the time, first indulged in gambling, and then smoked Fushou paste (big smoke), and lost the Wanguan family fortune.

When Hu Guohua was young, he ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and smoked all five drugs, and in the end he was so poor that he didn't even have a big son. If you are addicted to smoking, you will scratch your heart and liver and you can't stand it, but who will let you smoke if you don't have money? In the past, when there was money, the boss and the guy in the tobacco house saw that he was all Hu Ye Chang and Hu Ye was short, and he greeted him attentively and thoughtfully, but once you were penniless, they treated you as a stinky person to ask for food, and they couldn't drive you away.

People are going to be poor and crazy, and the concepts of honesty and morality are not important, so Hu Guohua thought of a way to go to his uncle to cheat some money. Hu Guohua's uncle knew that he was a big smoker from a ruined family, and he usually refused to give him a penny, but this time Hu Guohua lied to his uncle that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and asked his uncle to make up some money.

When the uncle heard this, he was moved to tears, this unscrupulous nephew finally did something serious, if he married a virtuous daughter-in-law to take care of him and collect his heart, maybe he would be able to learn well in the future.

So he took him twenty yuan of ocean, and told him to marry a daughter-in-law and live a good life, don't get contaminated with those blessings and longevity ointments again, and when he is free in a few days, he will go to Hu Guohua's house to see his nephew and daughter-in-law in person.

Hu Guohua had the most ghost ideas, in order to deal with his uncle, he went home and went to the village to find a craftsman who tied paper people and paper horses, which was the kind that burned the dead. This paper-binding master is very skillful, as long as he can tell what you can say, he can do it vividly.

He tied Hu Guohua a paper woman framed in white paper paste as required, and painted the paper figure with watercolors eyebrows, eyes, nose, clothes and hair, and looked at it from a distance, hey, it really looks like a living person.

Hu Guohua put the paper man at home, put it on the kang in the inner room, covered the paper man with a quilt, and thought very well, and when his uncle came in a few days, he said that my daughter-in-law was sick and could not see guests while lying on the bed, so let him take a look at it from a distance. Thinking of the pride, I couldn't help humming a little song and slipped into the city to smoke a big cigarette.

Within a few days, my uncle came to the door and bought some flower cloth snacks and the like to see my nephew and daughter-in-law, Hu Guohua shirked according to the pre-thought statement, saying that my daughter-in-law was unwell and could not see guests, so I asked my uncle to open the curtain at our mouth and take a look at it and put the curtain down.

Uncle doesn't want to, oh, you kid just deal with your own uncle? No, I have to meet my new daughter-in-law today, and when I am sick, I will pay for my new daughter-in-law to ask Lang Zhong to see her illness.

Hu Guohua stopped him alive and dead, and the more he stopped him, the more he seemed to have a problem, and his uncle was even more suspicious, and the two quarreled. At this moment, the curtain of the door of the inner room opened, and a woman came out, looking white and clean, with a big face and plates, big butts and small feet, Hu Guohua sighed in his heart, hey, isn't this the paper man I found someone to paste? How did it come to life?

The woman gave a salute to her uncle and said that she had been in poor health recently, and she didn't come out to greet her uncle just now, and she asked for forgiveness for her rudeness, but now she suddenly felt that her body was getting better, and she would leave her uncle at home for a light meal today, and then she turned around and went in to cook.

Hu Guohua's uncle was so happy when he saw it, this nephew and daughter-in-law are so virtuous, and they are born with a good appearance, my dead sister Quanxia has knowledge, and he must be happy to see his son marry such a good daughter-in-law. As soon as his uncle was happy, he gave Hu Guohua another ten oceans.

Hu Guohua stayed on the spot, flustered, and didn't know whether to be happy or afraid, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening, the white paper man made a table of food, and his uncle was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but Hu Guohua had no intention of eating and drinking, he looked at the woman sitting opposite him, and felt disgusting like eating a fly. Her face was very white, there was no blood at all, and the rosiness on her face was all smeared with rouge.

The uncle's eyes were dizzy, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the woman, and he got drunk after seven or eight glasses of old wine, so Hu Guohua borrowed a donkey cart and sent him home.

On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, so I simply didn't go home, and went to spend the night in the flower willow alley in the city, and even used up the ten oceans that my uncle had just given me.

In the end, he was kicked out because he had no money to pay the bill, and he had nowhere to go but to go home. When I got home, I saw that the house was dark, and the white paper man was lying motionless on his bed, covered with a quilt, as if nothing had happened before.

Hu Guohua wants to keep her at night and then become a living person, it is better for me to burn it clean. Resist the white paper man to the yard, take out the fire fold, and want to burn the paper man, when the paper man suddenly spoke: "You have no conscience, I am kind enough to help you, but you want to burn me!" ”

Hu Guohua was startled, and in the middle of the night, he only heard the blank paper woman continue: "I see that you are pitiful, although you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but your heart is not bad, I want to marry you, are you willing?" ”

Hu Guohua shook his head desperately and asked the paper man, are you a demon or a ghost? The white paper man said that of course I am a ghost, but I am only temporarily attached to this paper man, but don't dislike me if you are a poor stick, I was very rich when I was alive, and the gold and silver jewelry that accompanied the funeral was enough for you to smoke for ten lifetimes, don't you hear that the rich and dead ghosts are a hundred times stronger than the poor people?

As soon as he mentioned Qian Hu Guohua, he was a little moved, because he was so poor recently, and even his clothes were gone, but he didn't want to have his life to get money and spend money without life, he once heard the old people talk about female ghosts hooking men, and they sucked up the man's yang energy as soon as they came and went, and those men who were entangled by ghosts were left with only a pair of bones wrapped in dry skin. So he said to the paper man: "Even if you are really good to me, I can't marry you, after all, we are people and ghosts, and yin and yang are blocked, which is against the way of heaven." ”

The white paper man said that since you are so hard-hearted, I will not force you, but sooner or later there will be a day when you will regret it. You remember, if your life is really too poor to live, you can come to me in the deserted grave of Thirteen Miles, and in the middle of that cemetery there is a lonely grave without a tombstone, and the coffin in it is where my body is, and there must be gold, silver and jewels in the coffin, and if you dare to come, those possessions can be used as you like.

After speaking, the white paper man was motionless, and Hu Guohua was bold and lit a fire to burn the white paper man to ashes.

Later, there were a few times when I was so poor that I couldn't help it, so I wanted to go to Shisanlipu to dig graves, but in the end I held back and mixed up my life. Two years later, he was desperate and finally went to the cemetery, but that's a later story, let's not show it for the time being.
