Chapter 184: Ghost Story (I)
The blue ghost fire all over the room floated to the ceiling, like a little starlight in the room, and the atmosphere was vividly rendered for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to the rules of the game of "Hundred Things", no matter how many people participate, they will take turns to tell ghost stories until they have told a hundred ghost stories.
President Hu Xiaoyun is the one with the most knowledge in this area among all people, so naturally he started first.
Because Xi said, as long as it can be a story that can be turned into a ghost story, it is okay if it is not limited to subject matter and authenticity, even if it is not scary at all, so he may be warming up first, so the tone of the narration is very gloomy, and it is also equipped with some corresponding actions and expressions...
He's talking about a story called "Paper Kids."
It is said that in the era of war and chaos before liberation, there was a woman surnamed Zhang living in a small county town. Her life was very miserable, eight generations of poor peasants had never had a good life since she was born, starvation and cold were commonplace, and people born like this at that time had no opportunity to receive an education.
Finally when she grew up, she married another farmer in the same village, and her husband was also surnamed Zhang, but his husband was not only lazy and lazy, but he was poor and short-minded, and he used a little savings in the family to buy wine and drink, and he had a bad temper when he was drunk, and he often beat and scolded his wife.
But this Xiao Zhang was originally an authentic honest woman, the so-called marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, she can only keep enduring and suffering.
As the days passed, Xiao Zhang gave birth to a male fetus for her husband, which is a great contribution to her in-law's family, but her drunken husband still can't see her, and no matter what, she just doesn't like her stunned wife, and she still treats her badly.
Caught up with a year of drought and war-torn times, there was no harvest in the family's one-acre and three-third of the field, and it can be said that even the most basic food belly has become a problem.
How far does a drunken husband become an alcoholic? He was so desperate that he wanted to take his son, who was just over two years old, to the city and sell it, and then exchange it for money to continue to buy wine and drink.
Xiao Zhang naturally refuses in every way, and he usually suffers a lot of grievances, but now he doesn't even let go of his son? There is no conscience of being a father and a husband at all. But this time Xiao Zhang also learned to be smart, she knew that it would definitely not work to compete with her husband, no matter how she said she was just a little woman after all. But under the great emotion called maternal love, Xiao Zhang also mustered up the courage to fight for his child! In the middle of the night, after her husband fell asleep, she lifted the rusty kitchen knife at home and cut off his head. But it's one thing to make up your mind to work hard, and it's another thing to take care of the aftermath.
At night, Xiao Zhang carried her son, who could just walk, to drag her husband's body to the field, digging the grave with a hoe and hoe, and finally dug a big pit when the sky was about to dawn, and threw her husband's body into it along with the head that had been seen down, and buried it deep in the ground.
The drunken ghost disappeared mysteriously for many days, and some people wanted to ask more, and Xiao Zhang only symbolically made up nonsense, saying that he accidentally fell off the cliff after he was drunk, and his bones were gone. In this way, I really succeeded in prevaricating the past, which is also because in that era, each family could not take care of the relationship between each family. Since then, everyone has called her "Widow Zhang" behind her back.
It stands to reason that this drunk was originally a burden to the family, and without him, Xiao Zhang, who has been diligent and thrifty, should have a better life, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and not long after killing her husband, her child suddenly became seriously ill and died soon.
Xiao Zhang cries every day, his eyes are about to cry blind, but he still hasn't come out of the haze. The body is not as good as day by day, and the body and bones are not very good, and now that the master is gone, she is even more depressed.
Because she really can't let go of her son's thoughts, Xiao Zhang actually came up with a very perverted method, which can't blame her, anyone who has experienced her experience will be insane, she found a shop in the village that specializes in underworld affairs, and made a paper figure of similar size and shape to her own child. Not to mention, although it is a small place, but the handiwork of the store is really exquisite, the paper child is made vividly, the facial features and the clothes on the body are highly restored, if placed in the distance, it can really make people have an illusion, just like a real little boy.
Xiao Zhang was over thirty years old at this time, and he was a half-old, so in this way, in the company of a papier-mâché child, he was stunned by self-hypnosis, and several years passed. She doesn't feel bored, talking to the paper child all day long, and even cooking a bowl for the paper child alone, of course, this is just formalism, she didn't expect the paper child to really eat, and she also walked like a mother taking care of her young son, whether it was doing housework or farm work, but she couldn't let the paper child touch the water, otherwise it would destroy its body because of quality problems. The villagers were surprised at first, but as the days went by, they gradually got used to it, and they could only sigh silently every time they saw her carrying a paper figure, pitying her for being too bitter.
One day, she made two bowls of coarse grain rice and a plate of green vegetables as usual, and was about to move the chopsticks, when she suddenly found that the paper child sitting next to her raised her crumpled paper hand and picked up the rice bowl and ate the chopsticks! At first, this also scared Widow Zhang, but then she smiled, since her son and husband died, she has never been so happy, hurriedly dropped her job and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking me for not knowing that it was the fairy who appeared, and took pity on her own experience, so she used her magic power to give life to the paper child.
What about paper kids? Not only can they move and eat, but they can also talk, but they can only say one word: "Mom, hungry... Craving for meat."
Widow Zhang looked at it with such a treasure, and she couldn't take care of anything else while she was excited, to put it in an ordinary family, it was an extremely ordinary thing for a child to want to eat meat, but you have to know... What are the conditions for Widow Zhang? What was the market in the era in which she lived? If you can't even eat fine grain rice, where is the meat for it? I've grown so big and eaten meat only a handful of times.
But there was no way, the paper child yelled more and more, and finally cried, and two lines of tears oozed from the black eyes made of paper balls, which wet his cheeks.
How can paper products get wet? Soon, as it kept crying, tears soaked most of its cheeks, and Widow Zhang couldn't comfort it for a long time.
In the end, there was really no way, Widow Zhang walked into the kitchen with tears in her eyes, turned out the rusty kitchen knife that had seen her husband's head, gritted her teeth and endured the pain and began to cut her thigh meat piece by piece...
After eating a few or two people's flesh, the paper child still didn't feel full, and continued to cry and shout, "Mom... Hungry, want to eat meat."
In this way, Widow Zhang had to cut the flesh on her body little by little to the paper child to eat, until the end... (To be continued.) )
