Chapter 9: The Tragedy
Huang Jun took a deep breath, "Probably this situation lasted for three years, during these three years, Chen Liang and Huang Qing were almost isolated from the world, except that the two often went up the mountain to chop wood together, never talked to people, one night, after Huang Qing went home, he suddenly took the initiative to open his mouth and asked about the whereabouts of his wife Ma Deng."
"Horse lantern? Which lantern? Where did you go? ”
"Are you listening to me? It's the horse lantern that Huang Qing brought home from the mountain when he had an accident."
"Oh, hee-hee, go on," Shu Yao said embarrassedly.
Her wife also thought it was strange, how could her husband suddenly remember the matter of Ma Lantern after so long? When Huang Qing came back, she was unconscious, holding on to the horse lantern, and her wife took a lot of effort to snatch the horse lantern from the unconscious Huang Qing, and she didn't care about it at the time, but just put it in the utility room in the cellar casually, and heard her husband ask, so she gave it to her. ”
"But after all this time, what is the use of the lantern she wants? Is there some mystery in this? Huang Juan said strangely.
"Here's the problem, do you think, is an ordinary horse lantern worth Huang Qingfei's efforts? But strange things really happened, that night, when Huang Qing took the horse lantern from his wife's hand, the expression on his face seemed to be very excited, his hands were trembling, and there were words in his mouth, and her action of receiving the horse lantern was simply described as grabbing, and after she got it, she grabbed it tightly and didn't give it to anyone. Obviously, I am very concerned about this ordinary horse lantern. ”
"It's a really interesting thing, you go on, and I now find that your storytelling skills are top-notch."
Huang Jun ignored Shu Yao's ridicule, and said to himself: "From now on, Huang Qing no longer goes up the mountain to collect firewood, but just guards the lantern at home, never leaving an inch, her wife thinks that her madness has been committed again, but all Huang Qing's behavior and language are very normal, not like crazy, at this time Chen Liang seems to have no reaction to Huang Qing's changes at all, or continue to insist on going up the mountain every day to chop firewood, and after coming back, he didn't say a word, and the villagers saw this situation, and slowly and quietly began to talk about it."
"What are you talking about?"
"The villagers said that the lantern Huang Qing was holding in his hand was a treasure from hell, which could communicate yin and yang, and the reason why Huang Qing was crazy was because he was frightened by evil spirits, and now that Huang Qing has sobered up, he wants to hold this treasure for eternity."
"Does anyone believe such nonsense?"
Of course, some people believe that in those days, this kind of ghost theory was very popular. Even Huang Qing's wife was convinced of this, and gradually became impatient with Huang Qing, saying that Huang Qing wanted to ascend to the sky alone, leaving her alone.
"How did Huang Qing react?"
"Huang Qing? Huang Qing simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. Ignore it, whatever you say, it's just not a word anyway"
"What about Chen Liang? Chen Liang didn't explain at all? ”
Huang Jun shook his head, "The blame is here, Chen Liang seems to have forgotten that there is still Huang Qing in this world, and he automatically ignores all the news about Huang Qing, that is, he doesn't make any remarks, and he doesn't take any action, just go up the mountain on time every day, go down the mountain on time, and occasionally go out of the village to pick firewood to buy it at the market, and his life is quite regular." ”
"This thing is very strange, what did they encounter on the mountain, and that lantern is really as magical as the villagers say?" Huang Juan Road.
Huang Jun sighed, "Of course things are not normal, the words of ghosts and gods are enough to hurt people, but there are actually things in this world that are more terrible than evil spirits, this is human nature." What happened next was nothing short of horrific."
"What's next? What happened next? It can't be a demon, right? Shu Yao said mockingly, but he suddenly felt cold and swishing on his body.
"The evil spirit did not appear, but the wicked did. This situation lasted for about half a year, and one day after half a year, a young man suddenly came to the village, and this young man was said to be the son of a big family in the city, and said that he had come here to look for relatives. ”
"Looking for relatives? What kind of relatives are you looking for at this time? ”
"Looking for his long-lost sister, and unfortunately, this young man searched for a long time, and insisted that this long-lost sister was Huang Qing's wife"
Shu Yao laughed and said: "This thing is strange, where did a younger brother pop out at the critical moment, haha, it's fun, it's fun." ”
But at that time, the villagers believed, and they were very envious of the Huang family, saying that she was blessed and destined to have such a rich brother, so that the young son lived in Huang Qing's house, and the matter came to this, in fact, it was not over, this young man was handsome and beautiful, and he talked elegantly, and at a glance he knew that he was an educated and cultural person, and he was also very familiar with the relevant allusions. They all have the heart to make friends, and he is such a polite corporal, which makes the villagers look up to him with admiration. And the important thing is that this young man is extremely generous, who needs money, without saying a word, he will directly send a silver ticket, so that everyone says that the Huang family is blessed. ”
"So how did Huang Qing and the Huang clan react to this matter?"
Huang Qing didn't have anything, it was still the same, just guarding the lantern and didn't care about anything else, but Huang reacted very strangely, at first, she insisted that she never had such a brother, it must be the young man who made a mistake, and the young man didn't want anything for her. But after a while, I don't know why, Huang's attitude changed sharply, not only accepted her to live in the Huang family, but also gradually began to talk and laugh with each other, the relationship became closer and closer, and every day the younger brother and sister were screaming loudly
"Oh, is this young man really her brother? How do I think this matter is a little evil," Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun paused and said: "You listen to me, after a while, there is nothing, but one day, when people wake up from their sleep, they suddenly hear a terrible scream from Huang Qing's house, that cry is like the last breath of a person who is oppressed in an extremely painful situation, and it is unspeakable in the ears, it is like tearing the heart, and it seems to be a scream begging for mercy from the torture of the unjust souls of hell, in short, this scream shocked the villagers, So they ran to Huang's house, but found that the young man and the Huang family ran out in a panic like seeing a ghost, and said that there were ghosts, ghosts, and at this time the sky was already bright, and the villagers had the courage to go in, but found that Huang had been dead for a long time in the morning. ”
