Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fat Man Has No Life
It is said that in the early days, there was a young man surnamed Wang in the Taiyuan area. One day, the young man met a woman carrying a package on her back, and she seemed to be struggling to walk. When the man surnamed Wang saw that the woman was very beautiful, he moved his mind and went up to ask the woman if there was anything he could do to help. The woman said that she was originally the daughter of a good family, and that her parents had sold her to a rich family because of their greed for money.
As a result, the wife of this family was very strong and scolded her every day. The woman couldn't stand the torment, so she ran out secretly. As soon as the young man surnamed Wang heard this, his mind began to live, saying that his house was not far away, or he would not go to his house to sit down. The woman was tired and thirsty, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed, and she agreed.
The young man surnamed Wang was secretly happy in his heart, helped the woman take the package, and led her home. Of course, this lonely man and widow are in the same room, so it is impossible for something not to happen. The two slept together that night.
I loved to hear this story the most at that time, because there was such a paragraph, and I never got tired of hearing it. Then the story began to get terrifying. The man surnamed Wang lived with the woman from that day on, and he was like glue every day, and he was so affectionate. One day he went to the street and happened to meet a Taoist priest who traveled to the square. When the Taoist priest saw him, he said that his face was dark and his body was full of yin energy.
The surnamed Wang didn't believe it at all, but he still had a pimple in his heart. When I went back and thought about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. One night, he had gone out to meet with a friend, but when something happened on the spot, he turned around and went home.
When I got to the bedroom, I noticed that the door was closed, and I heard that someone seemed to be inside. He had some suspicion in his heart, and quietly hid under the window and peeked inside. It didn't matter, it almost scared him to death. Here was his beautiful lover, but an old and ugly old woman, with scorched teeth and green eyes, and a human skin in her hand, which she shook and draped over herself.
Immediately afterwards the old and ugly woman became the young and beautiful lover he had ever known, with white skin, and the flesh and skin on her body were as smooth and smooth as silk.
This is the painted skin in the story, an ugly and old woman who puts on the human skin of a beautiful woman, and transforms into the appearance of that beautiful woman.
I used to think it was just a folklore, more of a beautiful story to listen to to satisfy all kinds of fantasies about that kind of thing.
But at this moment, I saw a man wrapped in pigskins and then turned into a pig. What if the second mother-in-law peeled off a human skin before? Does that mean if you put it on, you will become a different person?
I was trembling when I heard my second mother-in-law say, "Let them come in." My mind was a mess, and I subconsciously answered yes, went to open the door of the front hall, and saw Ma Boss and they were waiting outside the door, stretching their necks to look this way.
As soon as the door opened, they all rushed up.
"Xiao Qi, how's it going?" Ma Boss asked in a deep voice.
The black-haired urn shouted angrily, "What's wrong?" The bull-nosed ghost screamed, and he was scared! You're not going to just slaughter him, are you? ”
"Xiao Qi, where is the bull's nose?" The swallow came up and grabbed my arm and asked firmly. My sister swallow is coquettish and charming on weekdays, but at this time, as long as the bull-nosed Taoist priest is mentioned, she has become a completely different person. I suspect more and more that Yanzi and Ma Boss, Black Hair, and Muscular Man have had a big holiday with a Taoist priest a long time ago. This dead bull-nosed Taoist priest is very likely to be the Yu Xuanji of the Maoshan Sect.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, and was about to lead them in when I heard a snort, and a white shadow came out of me.
"Damn, catch it!" As soon as I saw it, I shouted in a hurry. Fuck, sneaking out of this thing is a bull's nose for the second senior brother!
The lion's head and the muscular man are the farthest from the gate, and when I hear me shout, the muscular man grabs the fat ears of the cow's nose with a handful of them.
The cow's nose made a "whoop" cry and kept fluttering, but the muscular man was such a burly and powerful man, how strong he was, and he grabbed his ears, where could he easily get out.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, let people into the hall, and called out to the muscular man again, asking him to drag the second senior brother in.
The second mother-in-law leaned back in her chair, her eyes half-closed, and seemed to be asleep.
Ma Boss and the others came in one after another, and they heard Hei Mao exclaim: "Where is the cow's nose?" The others were also taken aback, their faces changed greatly, and they prepared to chase them out of the door. It was still Ma Boss who was the calmest, stopped everyone, and said, "What are you panicking, with your second sister here, where can Niu Bi escape?" ”
After he stopped drinking, several people returned to the hall in disbelief. The muscular man tugged at the second senior brother's ear, pulled it back, and said very strangely: "Why is this pig different?" ”
"This ...... What is this? Among so many people, it was the lion's head, who looked around as soon as he entered the house, was the first to notice the skinned fat pig, and his face turned sallow and white.
For a while, there was a lot of disagreement, and I didn't know who to answer first. Finally, Ma Boss shouted: "It's all quiet!" He said to the thin bamboo pole closest to the door, "Sixth, close the door." ”
Thin bamboo pole Mu replied in a daze and went to close the door. Ma Boss glanced at the skinned pig on the beach, and said in a deep voice: "Don't look for it, the Taoist priest is in the hands of the fourth child." ”
At this time, the muscular man was pulling the pig's ears with one hand, and with the other hand he was holding a hemp rope, and was putting it around its neck.
My heart trembled, and I saw that all these people in the hall were petrified, like wax figures, with their mouths wide open, their eyes wide open, and their faces full of disbelief. It seems that the second mother-in-law's evil craft is only known to Boss Ma, so when she left the hall, her face was quite strange. And the others, including the muscular man, the black hair, the swallow, and so on, seem to know nothing.
The hall was eerily quiet, except for the cow's nose that kept making a sizzling sound. It took a long time before I heard the lion's head tremble and say, "This ...... Is this possible...... Be...... Is it painted skin? ”
When he said this, his voice trembled, and he almost cried.
"What's that?" The black-haired face turned slightly pale at this time, and a pair of small eyes slipped around, obviously a little panicked.
The lion's face turned pale and said, "I...... I've only heard from my master that in the early years, there was a kind of demon called 'painted skin'...... That spell can peel off the skin of a living person alive and wrap it around another person, and this person immediately becomes the appearance of the owner of the human skin. ”
Since the catastrophe of the fiery game, I have shared hardships with the fat man of the lion head, and my friendship has deepened a lot. He had a master, I know, and I heard him say that he was a lame fortune teller.
This lion's surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Bansheng, which is actually the surname of the fortune teller. Shi Fat Man is an abandoned baby, in the early years of a heavy snow day, was picked up by the fortune teller surnamed Shi, when he was brought home, the dead fat man was already hanging with only one breath, dying, so he simply named Shi Wusheng.
His master is said to be quite capable in fortune-telling, and he also has a small reputation within a radius of 100 miles. Since the fat man was ** years old, his master taught him the way of physiognomy calculus, but this fat man probably has no talent in this area, and he forgets it after learning, and in the end, his master is also dead, so he simply lets it go.
About ten years ago, this fortune teller passed away, and this fat man hung a boy who was in the local area for a while, and he didn't have a serious job, and then after the family's savings were exhausted, he had to find a way to come out to make a living. Probably because he was influenced by his master since he was a child, although he didn't learn half a point of fortune-telling skills, but he had some experience in some Shinto things. once inadvertently hooked up with Ronghua Funeral Home, and since then he has become an intermediary.
