Chapter 65: Ghost Story on the Fur
Everyone got into the car, and I learned that there were more than 30 cars in the convoy, and more than 100 people, in order not to attract attention, went out of the city, and went separately in batches.
In our van, except for a driver I didn't know, there were only two uncles and nephews and three of us. The others brought their men and disciples with their own chariots.
I asked Fifth Master, "Fifth Brother, is our battle a bit too big?" ”
Fifth Master said to me with a smile: "Then you haven't seen the other party's battle, compared to them, we are a small thing." ”
The fat man interjected next to him and answered: "There are many people with a ball." The soldiers are fine but not many, and they don't understand such a simple truth? ”
I laughed and teased the fat man and said, "Jing, what Jing?" I didn't see it, you're still a pig. ”
When the fat man heard me squeeze him, he glared angrily and stumbled, "You're still a monkey spirit." ”
I immediately smiled and said to him, "Yes, second junior brother. ”
The people in the car were amused by the two of us, and I then said to the fat man: "They are the most shrewd, they are full of hearts and eyes, and you haven't even turned around after ten turns of your brain, we can't compare with them with their shrewd brainpower, we have to rely on strength." However, it is better to guard against them, I am afraid that they will use their shrewdness and ability in places where they should not be used. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement, after all, this competition is not just a person's honor and disgrace. The relationship behind it is really too big, and it is not clear that one party will collapse at this point and withdraw from the stage of inverted fighting craftsmen.
A car of people was talking and laughing, and the sky had become cloudy. At this time, the fat man's stomach sounded on time and on time, and the old man said with a smile: "Don't make the little fat hungry, everyone stop for breakfast and then continue on the road." ”
There's nothing more satisfying than having a full meal, and when everyone is full, they continue to ride in the car and start their journey.
As a result, he ate, slept and slept like this, and the driver of the van changed posts back and forth several times, and the fat man finally couldn't bear such a boring day anymore. As soon as I got into the car after lunch, I couldn't wait to say to everyone: "It's too boring to be idle." Shall I tell you a ghost story to refresh yourself? ”
It was really because I was so bored that the fat man told me ghost stories, and I was very interested in it, so I said to him, "I've heard almost all of your jokes." Tell me something I haven't heard before. ”
The fat man replied hello. Then he sat down and cleared his throat, and everyone began to listen attentively to the fat man's story.
At this time, the weather outside the car window actually matched the strange atmosphere of the fat man telling ghost stories, and the cloudy sky began to become dark, and the fat man drank a sip of water and began to talk eloquently.
In ancient times, it was in a county town near the Qinling Mountains. There was a wealthy family surnamed Liu, who started his fur business.
There are many ancient trees in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains. There are also many kinds of beasts in the mountains, so there are many hunters, and the fur business is not very easy.
However, the quality of the fur hunted by Liu Yuanwai's shop is very good, the hair is soft and dense, it is a rare good fur, there are many famous foreign buyers of fur, and several large fur firms in the provincial capital have a long-term cooperative relationship, the goods are often in short supply, and suddenly become the richest man in the county.
Although Liu Laoyuan is a rich party, with a group of wives and concubines, he is very withered under his knees, only the eldest lady who is kind and charitable has a daughter, and the other concubines have not come out. The outside world said that Liu Yuanwai had done something to lose his morality, so that he would have no children under his knees and his children and grandchildren withered.
Liu Yuanwai is very fond of the only daughter, and the Liu Mansion is also obedient to it, and Miss Liu, who has been spoiled since she was a child, is inevitably a little arrogant, she suddenly has one day, full of interest and has to go to the mountains of Qinling to play, the Liu family up and down take her words as a holy decree, and no one dares to stop her. In this way, she took the accompanying maid and mother-in-law, worked as a housekeeper, drove the carriage, and went up the mountain mightily.
As a result, she deserved to have an accident, and as soon as Miss Liu was on the mountain, she shouted that she had seen a little white rabbit and had to be caught as a pet. But none of the people who accompanied him saw the little white rabbit in his mouth. After a while, Miss Liu said that she had seen a fox with very beautiful fur and must be caught to make a collar. And this time, the dozen or so people around were still staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they all said that they didn't see the fox in Miss Liu's mouth.
This angered Miss Liu, and she scolded angrily: "You blind dog minions, are you lying collectively and trying to trick me into going back early?" Miss Ben, I'm going to hunt an animal for you minions to see. After speaking, regardless of the opposition of his subordinates, he insisted on walking deep into the mountains. The subordinates of the Liu Mansion had no choice but to wait behind the master, maybe the eldest lady who stayed at home would have sore feet after walking for a while, and it would not be too late to go back.
As a result, Miss Liu seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, climbing higher and higher on the mountain, walking faster and faster, and she was not too tired at all, but the family members below had sore legs and sore arms, and they were bitter, and the accompanying maid and woman had long been left far away from the mountain and disappeared.
When she was almost halfway up the mountain, the young lady who was walking in front suddenly shouted "Yes", and ran up with a brisk stride after speaking. The family members behind him didn't see anything in front of them, but when they saw that the young lady had run away, they all hurriedly chased after her.
However, the mountains are deep and dense, and in the blink of an eye, the eldest lady of the Liu family ran away, which frightened the people of the Liu Mansion. If the young lady loses it, no matter how many lives they have, it won't be enough to compensate. So, the panicked subordinates began to search all over the mountains, but the result was that there was no trace of Miss Liu's family at all.
During the search, Miss Liu's grandmother ordered someone to go back to Liu's house to report the news, which made the people up and down Liu's mansion anxious, and even the county magistrate knew the news of Miss Liu's disappearance, so he sent all the officials in the yamen to follow the family members of Liu's mansion up the mountain to search. As a result, the second group of people went into the mountain to search until the next day, and did not find any trace of Miss Liu, but found Miss Liu's embroidered shoes embroidered with lotus flowers halfway up the mountain.
For Liu's house, there is no doubt that it was a bolt from the blue, and in a fit of anger, Mr. Liu sent the family who accompanied Miss Liu to the mountain to play. Under pressure, the yamen did not even try it that day, and said that it was the slaves who murdered them for money and beheaded everyone in the vegetable market.
The minions just obeyed orders, and in this way, they died innocently and tragically under the knife, and they were wronged to die in vain. At that time, due to the large number of people involved, the executioner's broadsword was exhausted, and the vegetable market where Xingtai was located was simply a river of blood and became a purgatory on earth, which made the onlookers shudder when they saw it.
Liu's mansion was constantly wailing, making a lot of trouble.
And the next day, when the Liu Mansion was wearing linen and filial piety, and preparing for the mourning hall in a miserable white. Miss Liu miraculously came back by herself. Covered in dust, his eyes glazed over, and he looked stupid.
When Liu Yuanwai saw that his baby daughter was back, he was very happy all of a sudden, and immediately ordered someone to withdraw from the mourning hall, and instructed the maid to take the young lady to wash, and then instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet for the young lady. Mrs. Liu also knelt in the Buddha hall and kept kowtowing, thanking the gods for their blessing.
And Miss Liu, who seemed to return home safely, was unusual, hiding in her boudoir, not entering the door without leaving the door, so she sat in front of the bed in a daze, staring straight ahead with her eyes blankly, without saying a word.
Liu's house is a big family, and it is not a big deal for the young lady not to go out of the boudoir, and the etiquette at that time was also like this. And the whole Liu Mansion was happy that the young lady calmed down the old man's anger after she came back, and no one cared too much about Miss Liu's becoming a little different, they all felt that a girl who got lost in the mountains must be scared, as long as she drank a few pairs of soothing soup, she would naturally be fine in a few days.
Because of this incident, there are still many things to be busy in the Liu Mansion, and the top priority is to invite the yamen who contributed to the banquet, and the lord and the lady have to accompany them in person, so they came to the daughter's room one after another, so as to comfort them, and then told the maid to send the food into the young lady's room on time, but forgot that she should ask Miss Liu to ask a man to check it.
However, since Miss Liu came back, the meals that had been delivered for three days were removed intact and withdrawn, and her mother felt a little inappropriate, and thought in surprise: People are iron rice and steel, how can this work without eating or drinking? So he personally brought food into his daughter's boudoir and persuaded her to eat a little.
As a result, Miss Liu still sat motionless at the head of the bed, and only said one word, "wait".
Although Liu's mother feels sorry for her daughter, she doesn't want to be strong, since her daughter is not hungry, she said wait, then when she is hungry, she will naturally want to eat.
As the days passed, Miss Liu still did not eat or drink, and could only say one word, "wait". No one knows what she means by the words.
However, Miss Liu slowly began to recover to normal, no longer just sitting on the bed and being stunned, she would often walk around the yard, although she did not eat, but occasionally drank a few sips of water, and when she had nothing to do, she would play with the water in the fish pond and play with the fish.
Mrs. Liu was very happy to see her daughter's condition gradually improving, and she didn't care about the unusual changes in her personality at all, and sent her favorite maid Cui'er to serve the young lady.
But he didn't expect that these sporadic anomalies on the young lady were extraordinarily big things, almost almost harming one party and ruining lives. (To be continued......)
