Chapter 22: The Ghost Contract
Old man Wu's real name is Wu Changqing, and his ancestral home is not in SX, but in HN Luoyang next door. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info happened when Wu Changqing was young, and he was not born yet. His father, Wu Pingjun, set him a well-matched baby parent, which was later Mrs. Ye.
It's a pity that this Wu Changqing was born at the wrong time, and he was born to catch up with the years of sin, in the years of war and chaos, the whole family was robbed by horse thieves today, and was blackmailed by the villagers tomorrow! In order to survive, there is only survival, in those years, as long as there was a steamed bun, someone dared to kill!
How could the old lady of the Wu family, who was used to being the old lady, stand this crime, and was not tossed twice, but in a night the robbery instigated by the people in the village broke off.
Mrs. Wu's death was called a miserable, and the family finally knelt down and begged for mercy before letting the villagers take the handle to bury the person, but within three days, the grave was picked up, and some of the Yuan Datou buried in the tomb were divided up, leaving only the mutilated bones.
This scene made the Wu family unable to bear it anymore, and fought with those people on the spot, the result can be imagined, the family was shot and killed more than half, and the rest were women and children who were hiding in the corner and crying, and Wu Changqing's father Wu Pingjun was also shot to death on the spot, her mother squatted on the ground and cried while holding him, this cry kept crying until the second half of the night, the people in the village who watched the excitement had already gone back, these people have long been used to seeing these, in their eyes, only the next full meal can make them enthusiastic, and the life and death of others, What to do with them! I just felt that this woman was crying miserably, but no one dared to look at it in the middle of the night, and I didn't dare to care.
The people in the village finally survived until dawn, and when they went to the Wu family to see it again, they found that the woman had already died, and the body was still in a kneeling position, and the posture of holding the child in her hands was still maintained, and in her arms, Wu Changqing, the eldest young master of the Wu family who had only been born for a few months, was gone.
The scene is terrifying and weird, and the most bizarre thing is the young grandmother of the Wu family, Li Fengxian, this woman's body has stiffened, half-kneeling in front of her husband, with two lines of blood and tears lying on her face, which have solidified into two strings of red beads at this moment, with sadness in her eyes, and even more monstrous hatred, just looking at the direction of the village, not blinking!
The people in the village only thought that the death of this person was too weird, and they didn't think about anything else, and after applying to the above, they hastily pulled the corpses of this family to the mass grave and buried them, and as for the lost child, no one cared about it at all.
The next day, the five families in the village divided the original Wu family's house and moved in on the same day. The strange thing starts with these people living in this old mansion of the Wu family.
After these five families moved into this old house, strange things kept happening. At first, there would be cries in the house in the middle of the night, and everyone didn't take it seriously, after all, it was a time when they didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
But what happened later made these people completely believe that this house is haunted!
Zhang San was the first to have an accident, and his family was also the first to move into this house. Zhang San's family of three, already poor, lived in this mansion, and the poor sour gas accumulated in his heart for many years was instantly swept away, and for three days in a row, he opened meat for his only eight-year-old son, and the children who ate it were oily, and in three days, they ate all the chickens and ducks that the family had allocated.
Zhang San, who has always been stingy, was happy to see his son eating, and he was also happy, after being poor for so many years, he finally raised his eyebrows. And on the fourth day, the son, who had been addicted to eating meat for three days in a row, seemed to be crazy, and he was crying at home, and he wanted to eat meat if he was alive or dead. Listening to the sadness of the child's crying, Zhang San was also sad, but where is there meat at home, and the meat that is shared, whether raw or cooked, is eaten by the child.
Come on, just don't see it, don't hear it, don't panic. Zhang San locked the door, and simply went out with his daughter-in-law to participate in the criticism meeting.
As a result, when I came back at noon and opened the door, I was immediately frightened.
The son was kneeling by the gate at this time, his eyes were bloody, and he had already lost his breath, but his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was still smiling contentedly, as if he had just eaten a big meal. Zhang Sanyi opened the door and met his son's eyes.
At that time, there was no current technology, only knew that the child died, but no one knew how it died, and the child's death was exactly the same as that of Li Fengxian, the young grandmother of the Wu family, so that night, the person in charge of the village decided to bury the child.
As a result, the child had just been buried, and the next day the child of another family living in the house also had an accident, this time it was even stranger, and when I came together in the morning, I saw the child kneeling on the kang, and the death was the same as the previous one.
Then, one by one, the five families died one after another, and the five families were not only sad, but also fearful, and they said that they did not want to live in this house anymore.
Unfortunately, although they moved out, their fate did not change, but this miserable fate seemed to be contagious, and the village began to die on a large scale.
As a result, the people who did not die in the village could no longer sit still, the timid chose to flee, and the bold chose to fight. They took hoes and shovels to pout the newly buried graves of the Wu family, dragging out the bones of all the people and burning them all.
Just when they thought they had won, who knew that it seemed to anger the Wu family's souls even more, this night, dozens of people died in the village in one night, all of them died in a strange way, all kneeling with their eyes open, with a smile on the corner of their mouths.
The situation expanded quickly, and the resolution was even faster, when the passing troops stepped forward and replanned the village into a martyr's cemetery, and the surviving people in the village were also rescattered and distributed to other villages.
The matter seemed to end here, Old Man Wu sighed, walked to the mirror on the wall, and carefully rubbed the woman in the mirror.
It seemed to sort out the emotions and then told us about the next thing.
No one dared to mention the strange things that happened in the village, and all the surviving people in the village died soon after.
Old Man Wu looked at the master, and after the master took a puff of cigarette, he also looked up at him, smiled slightly and said:
"If my guess is right, you are that Wu Changqing, as for your current name Wu Jianguo, it should be changed after you migrated to SX. And your whole story is talking about the Wu family, not the Ye family, presumably, there should be someone in the Ye family who understands Gu magic or witchcraft. And this person should be the one who saved you, right? ”
When Old Man Wu heard this, his body was shocked, his mouth was dry, and then he smiled miserably, nodded, and admitted it.
"Yes, my wife's family is in a similar situation to my family, and they were also persecuted to the point that their family was ruined, but it happened later than my family, I was rescued by my old mother-in-law, and the people in the village were all killed by the same kind of Gu worm."
The master nodded indifferently and answered:
"Gu art and witchcraft are the same thing, if you use Gu worms to kill people, you can easily do this kind of thing. Gu Miao easily does not have contact with outsiders, and your mother-in-law seems to be a person with a big story. ”
Old Man Wu nodded in agreement, but he didn't want to say anything, as if he was taboo. But the master spoke again.
"According to the rules of Gu Miao, it is to pass on women not to men, and compared to your wife, you can more or less use some witchcraft."
Old Man Wu still didn't speak, but there seemed to be a little less persistence in his expression. The master got up and touched my face, smiled shamelessly, and said to me:
"Ugly is ugly, but after all, if you change a little daughter-in-law, you always have to pay a price, and it's not a loss."
I was about to cry, but when the old man Wu next to me heard this, he seemed to think of Ye Linlin on the bed, and asked the master.
"What I just said doesn't count, I've told you everything I know, what's wrong with my granddaughter?"
After listening to the old man's words, my master smiled shamelessly again, and said sarcastically:
"What you said was exactly what I didn't want to know, and you didn't say a word about what I wanted to know."
Old Man Wu was silent, as if after deep thought, he sighed for a long time, seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said:
"That's it, paper can't contain the fire after all, anyway, I've said so much, I won't hide it, I just hope you can keep your promise, and when I finish speaking, give me the answer I want."
After the master made a sure look, Old Man Wu began to talk again.
It turned out that after he was rescued by the Ye family's wife, that is, the Miao girl who knew Gu arts, he migrated to SX with the Ye family.
The Ye family was able to give up the whole family's belongings at that time, and they migrated almost empty-handed, and it was all thanks to the merits of this Miao girl, although they lost their family business at that time and lived an ordinary and hard life, but they also saved the lives of the family.
The Ye family had two daughters at that time, the difference in size was only two years old, and the eldest daughter was the current Mrs. Ye. After arriving at SX, because the dialects of the two places are almost the same, I quickly adapted to life here.
As the days passed, the two daughters and Wu Changqing slowly grew up, and this problem came out. is the so-called long-term love, I can't imagine that these two daughters will like this brother who grew up with them when they become adults.
At that time, this kind of thing was not tolerated by mana and morality, and in desperation, Miao Nu, who was the head of this family, took action and personally married her youngest daughter to the Duan family, who also migrated and settled in Baiyang Village.
In this way, this little daughter has a monstrous hatred for the Ye family from the bottom of her heart, especially for the eldest sister Mrs. Ye. What happened after that was a lot of blood, and the drama of the two daughters fighting for a husband lasted for five or six years, and it was not until this old lady Ye gave birth to a daughter to Wu Changqing that this matter finally developed to a point where you are dead and alive.
As the so-called enemies are very red when they meet, just when Wu Changqing's eldest daughter is full moon, the little sister who has married into the Duan family came uninvited, and brought a big gift to the Ye family.
I don't know what means this little sister used to give Gu to the baby who is only full moon on the full moon wine! And it's a Gu that can't be knotted, and there is only one requirement, that is, to take this girl away, otherwise, this girl will not live tomorrow.
In desperation, Wu Changqing could only tearfully give his eldest daughter who had just completed the moon to this little sister who made him hate and love, and this memory of his daughter lasted until he gave birth to his son Wu Sanshui, which began to slowly dissipate.
Unexpectedly, his daughter had only been carried to the Duan family for a year, and something even more disgusting happened to him, the Duan family actually changed his daughter's surname, and the changed it was neither Wu nor Duan, let alone Ye, but an inexplicable Li surname. At that time, he was just angry, and he didn't think too much about it, until twenty years later, when his daughter got married, he realized that this little sister's vicious mind was to use his daughter to change his surname with a member of the Li family, and the surname was Duan Ming, the later boss of the Duan family. And the second Duantian was born by this little sister herself.
This relationship is really messy enough, I was only in the second grade at the time, and my head was about to explode when I heard it, and I couldn't care about the ink on my face, and I couldn't wait to lie into Old Man Wu's arms and ask carefully.
This farewell is more than 20 years, the Duan family and the Wu family have not moved, but the old man Wu is still thinking about his daughter, and every once in a while he will ask someone to ask about the situation of the Duan family.
It wasn't until he learned that his daughter got married and gave birth to a girl, that he and his wife let go of the boulder that had been pressed in their hearts for more than 20 years. Later, when I heard the news of my little sister's death, although I was also sad, I was more relieved, and even planned to find a suitable opportunity to recognize this daughter again, even if the two families worshiped each other.
But the sky is not as good as people want, and I don't know if it is because of his daughter's natural debauchery, or if this little sister did something before she died, the tragedy that happened later, Old Man Wu didn't seem to want to mention it again, but looked sadly at Ye Linlin lying on the bed and said:
"The sins suffered by our older generation must not reach the next generation, the damned are dead, the undeserved are also dead, I only hope that in my lifetime, I can protect my granddaughter well! My own granddaughter! ”
Needless to say, it must have been after the Duan family had an accident that Old Man Wu and Mrs. Ye forcibly took Duan Lin over, and even changed her name.
After Mr. Wu finished speaking, he looked at the master directly, his eyes were a little red, the master put away his shameless smile, his expression changed a little solemnly, and he also sighed, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a hypocrite. He also seemed to notice that his expression had changed too quickly and was a little unnatural, and he coughed at the right time, which was considered to cover up part of the embarrassment, and said:
"The old man is right, the dead are dead, the living are still alive, don't worry, Linlin, this girl is fine, just sleep, as for what happened just now......"
Speaking of this, the master looked at me, but after all, he couldn't hold back, and laughed shamelessly again.
"Actually, it's nothing, we all know this ghost, it's generally driven by people's obsessions, judging from your story, the only thing this old lady can't let go of is her precious granddaughter, so she will get on her and secretly make some plans for her future. It's a great honor that my precious apprentice was chosen by her. ”
After the master finished speaking, he sneered, and then felt that it was a little out of place, and quickly pretended to cough twice. I was about to cry when I heard this, and quickly asked:
"I promised her, so why do you have to leave a mark on my face."
The master finally couldn't help laughing, and even the originally serious old man Wu on the side almost turned his back on his back. But the atmosphere in the room was much lighter.
"Silly apprentice, this is not an ordinary mark, remember, this is called a ghost mark, also called a ghost contract. Well...... To put it simply, she signed a contract with you, and as for the contract, you want to marry Ye Linlin. ”
Everything was said, and a boulder in Old Man Wu's heart fell to the ground, and when he heard my master say this, he quickly changed his expression, just like his father-in-law looked at his uncle, and nodded from time to time.
"Then what will happen if I don't marry, master......"
I continued to ask with a crying face, and the master frowned, as if he had thought about it, and then said:
"Hmm...... This ghost contract.,It's all ghosts that I've encountered before.,It's really the first time to let a daughter-in-law marry.,If you don't marry, then you'll definitely have to hang up.。 But this ghost contract generally has a time limit.,It seems to be twenty or twenty-two years old.,Oops.,This age is older.,Some can't remember.,But apprentice, don't be afraid.,You're only 7 years old now.,Slowly get along with the little girl.,Anyway, for the time being, this black spot is just an ugly spot.,It doesn't affect your life.。 ”
After that, this unscrupulous master actually patted his ass as if he got up and left, and I quickly took his hand and asked:
"Master, are you going back? What about Linlin? ”
Who knew that this old man was not ashamed to glared at me and yelled.
"Nonsense, if you don't go back, don't you live here, stinky boy, I want to sleep in a room with other people's little girls before I get married, don't even think about it, go back to the mountains to practice for Lao Tzu."
So, the master dragged me outside the gate, found Wu Sanshui in a group of filial sons and grandsons who were kneeling and crying, and asked him to send us back to the mountain.
When we got out of the car, Wu Sanshui took out a cloth bag from the trunk, saying that his father had given it and that he would let us accept it.
When I returned to the mountain and opened it, there was a stack of money and two hard boxes of Chinese cigarettes inside, and the master happily opened a pack from one of them and began to smoke, and couldn't help but start talking to himself.
"Today's work is beautiful, I didn't have any strength at all, I got an apprentice and daughter-in-law for nothing, and there are two Chinese pumps."
I couldn't help rolling my eyes, and was about to laugh twice, when I suddenly remembered the fact that the master used willow leaves to open my eyes with willow leaves, and then I thought of the coincidence that the master happened to appear after Mrs. Ye and I signed the ghost contract.
It seems that the master has been secretly controlling everything for a long time, at least he is always paying attention to the development of the situation, I can't help but sigh to the sky, master, your routine is too deep, you have cheated the apprentice, and the apprentice has to count the money for you!
