We heard Mrs. Chai lying under the window of the nunnery in the middle of the night eavesdropping, and we couldn't help but feel that our hearts were in our throats. It was an empty house.

I thought to myself: this woman can't be messed with, she's too bold.

Xue Qian asked, "Old lady, what have you heard?" Xue Qian listened attentively, and couldn't help but call the old lady, instead of calling her like the old woman and the old woman before.

Old Lady Chai looked at us, and then said softly, "That day, I didn't hear anything. ”

I couldn't help but be frustrated: "Didn't hear anything? Did he sleep? ”

Mrs. Chai shook her head and said, "I listened to it for a while, but there was no sound. So I slowly straightened up, leaned on the window, and peeked in. This glance freaked me out. ”

I asked with concern, "What do you see?" ”

Mrs. Chai looked frightened, and seemed to recall it now, and still had palpitations, she said, "I saw him taking a bath. ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but be angry and funny, and thought to myself, "What's so terrible about taking a bath?" It's really weird that you peek at your husband taking a bath. ”

Unexpectedly, the old lady continued: "He bathes not with water, but with lime." At that time, I saw that he was naked**, and the skin on his body was already wrinkled. He was still picking up the lime and rubbing it on his body one by one. That kind of sight, even though I looked like it hurt terribly, but he still rubbed his body over and over again with a blank face as if he couldn't feel it. ”

I was dumbfounded: "Bathing with lime? Why did he do that? Won't it wash people out of water? ”

Mrs. Chai said, "I have always been bold, but I was really scared that day. A person who is closest to you every day has suddenly become an extremely strange look, and I'm afraid no one can accept it. So I didn't dare to say anything and went back quietly. In the days that followed, I began to pay attention. Then I found out that something was more wrong. "Tame love, go home at night and play with demons

Mrs. Chai let out a long sigh, as if she was extremely tired, she leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes and said, "It was summer at that time, but he was always wearing long-sleeved clothes, obviously hiding his body. But how can this kind of thing be concealed? I watched his body dry up and blacken. Hey, those days were like a nightmare. ”

I glared and asked, "Old lady, why did he become like this?" ”

Old Mrs. Chai hadn't spoken yet, but Xue Qian answered: "Old Zhao, haven't you heard it yet?" Her husband is dead. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder: "Dead? ”

Old Madam Chai nodded: "That's right, he was already dead at that time." He was using lime to slow down the decomposition of the corpse so that he could continue to walk on earth. ”

By this time, I was speechless.

Mrs. Chai looked at the candlelight in the courtyard, and the candles were getting shorter and shorter, and they were already half extinguished. She sighed faintly and said, "Since I discovered his secret, I don't dare to get close to him anymore. I can't even be sure if he's my husband or not. And he didn't seem to want to pay attention to me anymore, and often didn't see me for days. ”

"After a few months, my mother-in-law became ill again. This time he was very sick, and after only a few days, he couldn't recognize people. I had the audacity to go to the empty house to find him, and let him think of a way to save people. He sat on the broken bed, hiding in the shadows, and he said to me, this time there is no need to think about it, the old lady has reached the sun, and she can't be saved. Really. The old lady died two days later. ”

"On the night the old lady died, he knelt in the house to keep a watch. In the middle of the night, when our daughter was asleep, he called me over and said something to me. That's when I finally understood what was going on with him these days. "Cultivating true fanatics against the sky

None of us spoke, waiting for Mrs. Chai to uncover the mystery.

Mrs. Chai picked up her pipe again, took a deep breath, and then said, "He told me that he had actually been taken to a place for a few days before his disappearance. There, he accidentally died. ”

Although I was eager to know what was going on, I couldn't help but ask, "Accidentally died?" What does that mean? ”

Old lady Chai said: "He is the owner of the empty house. Destined to go to a place, and there, nine deaths, so he accidentally died. ”

When I heard this, my heart was cold, what about me? Am I going to go through this too? I was so anxious that I forgot to ask what the place was like.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chai said: "At that time, I had already guessed that he was dead, so I was not surprised, but dared to ask him, how did you die?" But he refused to tell me, saying that even if he was disillusioned with this matter, he did not dare to tell others, so I should not ask again. He knelt down before the spirit for a while, and told me that he knew that his mother did not have much to live, so he plastered him with lime, and barely pretended to be alive, just that he did not want the old lady to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man. He is the owner of the empty house, and he still has the ability to drive his own corpse. ”

Xue Qian sighed: "Sure enough, it's a filial son." ”

Mrs. Chai nodded, and then said, "Next, he babbled with me about homely things, as if he wanted to finish all the things he hadn't said in the past few years." When it was almost dawn, I finally couldn't help it anymore and said to him, you stay, we can live like this for the rest of our lives. But he shook his head, and his voice was bitter, and he said that although he was dead, he had to do something, and he couldn't stay here. ”

Then he stood up as if to say goodbye to me. When he was about to go out, he hesitated for a moment and then said to me. From now on, this corpse can no longer be used. His soul will continue to do things. But what he did was very bad, very bad, hurtful to people's lives, and harmful to people. He told me that after I don't know how many years his soul would gradually lose its mind and forget about me. At that time, I have to find a way to kill him, otherwise he will become a demon completely, and he will return to the place where he lived, and kill all the people there, and I will be the first to die. "The ugly concubine counterattacked

When I heard this, I probably understood what was going on, and said, "Old lady, according to what you say, your plan these days is to kill your husband?" ”

The old lady nodded: "For decades, I have been secretly following his tracks, and the things he did were indeed very hurtful." Cadavers like the ones you have seen are his most merciful means. Although I don't agree with his actions, he is my husband after all, and I can't bear to hurt him. What's more, I can perceive that he is also forced to helpless. However, in the past two years, I found that he had forgotten a little about the past, and sometimes I deliberately tested him, and he didn't know me anymore. So I started plotting to kill him. ”

I already understood what was going on, and said for her: "So you asked your son-in-law to come forward on your behalf, deliberately approached your husband, and then waited for an opportunity to kill him?" ”

Old Madam Chai nodded, and then smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I've been trying to kill him all these years, but none of them have succeeded." So I took a gamble and asked my son-in-law to take an adventure, after all, there are some kinship, he has not completely lost his sanity, maybe he can still get close to him with this layer. Unexpectedly, this door-to-door son-in-law was too shrewd, exposed his feet, and was forced to take that kind of medicine. My daughter and I struggled to get him back. In desperation, I began to set up the ring, recruit masters, and finally, recruit the two of you. ”

I looked at Chai Ji lying on the bed and thought, "Young man, your life is so miserable." When he was alive, he was used as an assassination tool, and when he was about to die, he was thrown outside the door as a ring. ”

When Mrs. Chai said this, she seemed to be extremely tired, and she pointed to the woman next to her: "You come here." Then she collapsed on the couch as if she had fallen asleep.

The woman nodded, and continued, "Last night, my mother and I waited for you all night. None of you came back at dawn, and we guess you're dead. So, we're putting up a candlestick here, intending to try to the death and kill ...... Kill my father. ”
