003 A Hundred Years of Grudge
This song is a well-known children's song in Guangzhou, singing about a mother coaxing her son to sleep, full of life and warmth, but at this time it sounds particularly terrible, and the chicken feathers fell to the ground.
Hu Zhi and I froze at the same time, both realizing that something was happening, and they followed the sound one after another.
Renjia courtyard is the building of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the descendants continue to expand, just like a small castle, in the courtyard, separated by a 50-meter Yongdao, the end of the Yongdao is the ancestral hall of the Ren family, there are three building groups in the north and south of the Yongdao.
If you don't have a guide, it's a matter of minutes to get lost.
When he went out of the door, before he could identify the source of the sound, the song stopped abruptly.
There is a white lantern hanging at the door, and in the light of the snow, there is a child about five or six years old playing with a ball in front of him, and the costume does not look like modern children's clothing.
In the cold wind, I wore a single straw sandals and had a lot of fun.
"Children, don't play when it's dark, go back and rest." Hu Zhi was full of maternal love for a while and walked over.
I pressed her down, "No, that kid isn't human. ”
Immediately, a single palm burst out, and he recited the talisman of sin in his heart.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that I had lost the ability to use Dao without using a medium.
The next second, there was an awkward silence. Hu Zhi looked at me like a fool.
With such a mistake, the ghost child picked up the ball and disappeared into the darkness.
"Hehe, at such a level, you can still say that you can get the Five Thunder Heavenly Master Order, the ghost knows if you stole it back." Hu Zhi sneered.
I blushed, "It's not an accident, everyone has missed, and the horse has stumbled." ”
Hu Zhi said: "I don't have anything else to do with you, let's learn our own laws, don't delay us from cooking, I won't hinder you from finding someone, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, how about it?" ”
I held out my tail finger, "It's a word." ”
Hu Zhi stretched out her hand and ticked her two tail fingers.
Under the white light, I saw Su Zhong running in a hurry, and he fell halfway through, and walked towards us without patting the dust after standing up.
"Two masters, there are ...... Someone's hit the evil spirit! ”
I helped Su Zhong up, "Su Zhong, don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Su Zhong was out of breath, "Second Master Ren has hit an evil spirit, crazy and crazy!" ”
I knew that I was in a hurry, so I relied on my feet and ran in front of Uncle Zhong.
ran to a small courtyard, and saw Mrs. Ren standing on the steps by everyone, not in a hurry, just shaking her head and sighing.
Ren Yongquan's eyes were red on the edge of the rockery, crazy and stupid, smiling stupidly.
And the power is infinite, and a few big men go up to press him, but they can't press it. When Mrs. Ren saw that her man was crazy, she was sad and anxious, but she couldn't do anything.
"Don't ...... Don't come and kill me. Second Mrs. Ren looked at the void in panic, as if there was something terrible there.
In the evening, the second wife Ren was still fine, why did she suddenly go crazy? It must be haunted. The people around him talked a lot and unconsciously hugged their arms.
I took out the grapefruit leaf from the cloth bag and opened it on my eyelids, but I didn't find any ghosts attached to Ren Yongquan.
It's strange, it's not a ghost, but what's going on with his madness?
At this moment, Ren Er broke free from the big man's grasp and ran to the wall, his head back.
I'm horrified, he's going to kill himself! Hurriedly threw out the stick and hit him on the back of the head, Ren Er's body stiffened and fell backwards.
Mrs. Ren stepped forward to hug Ren Er, who had fainted, cried bitterly, pointed to the void and scolded: "God-damn female ghost, come at me if you have anything, don't hurt my man!" ”
I squatted down to inspect Ren Er, and found that even though he was in a state of fainting, his body was still convulsing, as if he was in a nightmare, so I said to Ren Er: "Your husband is afraid that he will go crazy again, for the sake of safety, I still tie him up with a rope and send someone to take care of him." ”
Second Mrs. Ren gave me a grateful look and nodded.
Hu Zhi suddenly realized: "I know, it must be the ghost kid just now." ”
I rolled my eyes, ignored her, walked up to Mrs. Ren, and said, "Old lady, what is the so-called curse, tell me about it." ”
Old Lady Ren smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Wrongs, all the sins created by the ancestors have been repaid by the descendants." After a pause, he said: "Dinner has been prepared, please sit down with the master, while eating, and the old body will tell you slowly." ”
As the richest man in the ancient city, the Ren family eats quite rich and exquisite, and the hall is full, but no one is in the mood to get off the basket, although I am hungry, I am embarrassed to eat first.
"Oh, look at me, I'm so old and confused, master, please eat." Old Lady Ren smiled.
I swallowed my saliva, and then I was not welcome, and feasted on it, while listening to the old lady's affairs.
The Ren family has been a businessman for generations, and the family has a big business, but they are very distressed that they have not been an official, and it took several generations to finally cultivate a Jinshi named Ren Quan in the Qing Dynasty.
In ancient times, when you were a jinshi, you had the qualification to be an official, and it was also the dream of a scholar, and it was a matter of honoring your ancestors.
So the Ren family lined up a lot of water feasts, but everyone who came to celebrate could come in and eat and drink for nothing. As the protagonist, Ren Quan is even more high-spirited, and those who come up to toast do not refuse, and get drunk after the feast. Ren's father was afraid that his son would look foreign, so he asked the maid Xiaowan to help Ren Quan go back to the room to rest.
Xiao Wan is also considered to be a good servant, this one is good, drunk and disorderly, Ren Quan gave Xiao Wan in the room......
After the incident, Ren's father was worried that this matter would spread and affect his son's career, so he imprisoned Xiaowan.
However, the worse thing was still to come, and after that night, Xiaowan's belly gradually grew bigger. At this time, Ren's father is also in trouble, if he cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, Xiaowan's stomach is the flesh and blood of his Ren family after all. If you don't deal with it, if this matter is revealed, this Jinshi who has not been out of the family for a hundred years will be cold.
After hesitation, she gave birth in October.
After the child was born, the Ren family did not give the name and imprisoned Xiaowan's mother and son.
Xu is Tianliang found that Ren Quan was much better to Xiaowan's mother and son, and saw that the child was locked in the firewood room all day, bored and distressed, so he brought the child a leather ball made of cowhide.
A few years later, Ren Quan got a position in the government and wanted to go to the north to serve as a county magistrate. In ancient times, the rules were like this, if you are a northerner and have obtained fame, you must go to the south to become an official, and vice versa.
As soon as Ren Quan left, Xiaowan's mother and son were kicked out of the gate. At that time, the Ren family was rich and there were people in the court, and there was no shortage of money or anything, but they didn't pull out a dime for the mother and son, and they refused to even give them a decent dress, so they only let the child take a broken ball and drove it out.
At that time, the weather was freezing and there was a famine, and the mother and son starved to death on the road not long after.
Before Xiao Wan died, she hugged the child who died of hunger, cried bitterly, and set a curse with great resentment, cursing the descendants of the Ren family for not dying well, and cutting off children and grandchildren.
Ren's father invited a Taoist mage to do a ritual, and the mage said frankly that the resentment of the mother and son was too great, and the mage could only protect the Ren family for a hundred years. After a hundred years, the curse will be fulfilled.
After doing the ritual, the Ren family has been peaceful, and the people at that time thought that the mage was just alarmist, and gradually forgot about it, but they didn't expect that a hundred years later, this year, the curse was still fulfilled.
First of all, the old lady of the Ren family died strangely and violently, and even Lin Daosheng, who was implicated in the matter, also had an accident, and then the third wife of the Ren family, and today the second wife almost encountered an accident.
"The curse is real, that mother and son are going to kill all the people of my Ren family, master, you must save us......" The old lady Ren said emotionally, grabbing my hand.
I was furious by what she said, and with a pop, the chicken leg I was biting fell into the bowl.
I see.
So, the weird singing voice is undoubtedly Xiaowan's ghost, and the ghost child is her and Ren Quan's child.
Their ghosts are in this mansion.
I knocked on the door of my head and thought about it, and said to her: "Old lady, it's not me who helps, the key is that your house is too big, and it will take a while to find the mother and son's ghost." I suggest that before we do this well, the people of the Ren family should move out for a few days, otherwise there will be many Ren families, and we will not be able to protect who the Yin Soul will attack, and then we will have no time to take care of it, but we will make a mistake. ”
The old lady groaned.
Ren Yongfu preemptively said: "Anyway, I'm not moving, this is my home, why should I move out?" Mrs. Ren echoed: "Yongfu means that he is also a descendant of the Ren family and a son-in-law, and he has the responsibility to protect the Ren family, and he will never leave at this time." It's better like this, the two uncles and Xiao Ling will move out first, and then come back when the master takes care of the Yin Spirit's affairs. ”
Ren Yongcai sneered: "That's a good thing, according to me, you are for your father's inheritance." If you don't go, then I won't go! ”
Second Mrs. Ren also said: "If the two uncles don't leave, I have no reason to go." I'm going to stay, to get back my husband's share of the inheritance! What are you afraid of, I don't believe that female ghost can kill our Ren family! ”
Ren Xiaoling hesitated a little and said to the old lady: "Mom, then let's listen to Uncle Chen's words and move out for a while." ”
Mrs. Ren shook her head with a smile, touched her head, but her eyes looked at the two brothers of the Ren family, and said mockingly: "Silly boy, if you want to leave at this time, won't the share that belongs to you be shared by others?" You have been frail and sick since you were a child, and if your mother is gone, what will you live on? ”
Ren Yongfu frowned and said: "Mom, what you said is a bit raw, Xiao Ling is our sister no matter what she says, if she has something to do, will those of us who are uncles ignore her?" ”
The old lady sneered: "Whether it is good for Xiao Ling or not, you know it in your own hearts." ”
I laughed dumbly, just to make a suggestion, why are the people of this Ren family so excited, and they are all prickly in their words.
Mrs. Ren shook her head with a wry smile and told the truth.
It turned out that Master Ren made a will before his death, and after his death, his descendants would keep a vigil for him for 100 days, and if anyone left by himself during this time, he would automatically lose the right to inherit the estate.
I understand, no wonder this Ren brother reacted so much, he dared to love the master who wanted money and didn't want his life.
The Ren family gradually quarreled, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.
At this time, Ren Xiaoling Huo Ran stood up: "It's not been 100 days since Dad passed away, and he was noisy, how can he rest assured?" It's a big deal that I don't want my share of the inheritance, and I will divide it equally between the two brothers, so you are satisfied, right? ”
