"What is she holding in her arms, is it a child, about the age of two years." Bai Li hurriedly asked, but the old beggar looked up at her and replied, "What child?" It's not a child, it's just a lantern, a very old lantern with words written on it. Unfortunately, my old beggar was illiterate, and did not recognize the word, but only that the lantern was white, and the word on it was red, and even though it was night, I felt that the word was unusually red, like human blood. ”

"Isn't it a child?"

"No, it's not a child, even though my old beggar is old, he can tell which one is a child and which one is a lantern." The old beggar distinguished: "I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that she was a scare person in the house, and she was wronged to sit in the courtyard in the middle of the night to hide her face and cry." I asked her who she was, and she didn't answer. I, though I don't have much money, is a warm-hearted person, but she only cries and doesn't speak, so I can't help but want to persuade her a few more words. I said that people live and suffer a little grievance, and in this life, who can not be wronged. I said that since I was born to the present, my old beggar has suffered more grievances than the stars in the sky, and I have not lived well until now. Although I am poorer and hungry, I live calmly and sometimes I am quite comfortable and happy. I said a lot, thinking that she had listened to it, but who knew that she actually asked me a question: What happens if people die? ”

At this point, the old beggar's voice was noticeably lowered.

He has been drifting in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has heard a lot of stories, watched a lot of people and sophistication, and is a good storyteller. For example, at this moment, he rendered the atmosphere of this story very well. His expression, tone, and movements all made Bai Li feel like she was there, as if what he was talking about was what she saw herself.

What she asks is, what happens when people die? Is she telling the old man that she is a wronged dead man? ”

"The girl is not big, but she has a very smart brain. Unfortunately, my old beggar was not as smart as the girl, and I was lying on the wall and stunned that I didn't come back to that smell. The old beggar shook his head slightly: "As soon as she had said that, her face was raised, and then I saw her face by the moonlight above her head and by the light of the lantern in her arms." Her face ...... It was terrible, the kind of horror that my old beggar couldn't tell, and I fell off the wall at once. When I was about to get up, I found the woman standing in front of me with a lantern, wearing dark red shoes, which were stained with mud and grass foam, but her legs were rotten, the kind that even the bones could see. ”

"The old man was scared, right?"

"Fear is fear, but it's not enough to be scared. My old beggar has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and what kind of poor people have never seen it. In the year of the war and the famine, the bones all over the ground are not as terrifying as what I see in front of me. The reason why I fell off the wall was because I didn't expect to see this thing in such a large family. I took a deep breath and sat down on the floor with my eyes closed. I said I knew she was a ghost, and I said I knew I was an old beggar with nothing to lose. It doesn't make a difference to me if it's one more day or one day less, but it's a big deal that she took me to the Netherworld and made me a ghost like her. ”

"The old man is so powerful!"

"Hey, what's awesome, it's me if it's you, don't you think your life is so valuable." The old beggar sighed: "I thought she would stretch out her hand to strangle me, or poke her scary face into my eyes, but I waited for a long time, but I didn't see any movement." Later, I opened my eyes, and I saw no longer a scary female ghost, but a noblewoman who was very well-dressed, and she was quite good-looking. She told me not to be afraid, saying that she knew that I was not from the house, that she just wanted to find someone to talk to, and that if I was afraid, she would just leave. ”

"Did you listen to her?"

"I didn't want to hear it, but who knows if what this ghost said is true or false, whether it's to hook your soul. But then again, my old beggar is not even afraid of losing his life, and he is also afraid of female ghosts. I just sat cross-legged on the ground, I said you say, my old beggar doesn't have much time, just a lot of time, if you want to feel sharp and wronged, you can tell me what happened to you. This big thing has also passed. ”

"What did she tell you?"

That night, she didn't say anything, she chattered about what she did when she was young, saying that she and her husband were ordered by her parents, and the matchmaker said that she only knew what her husband looked like on the night she got married. said that before she got married, she was originally afraid of marrying a terrible person, but she thought that her husband was quite handsome, and he was very gentle. knew that she was young, and he didn't force her to do anything, but he helped her cover up the next day and said good things for her in front of her in-laws. She said that in the first year of marriage, her husband took her to many places, and said that when she was old and the children grew up, he would take her to visit those places again. At that time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. ”

When the old beggar told this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was the one who followed the female ghost around the mountains and rivers.

"Her voice is very good, and when she speaks unhurriedly, she comes from a big family. I remember that I fell asleep listening to it, and almost all of my dreams were the mountains and rivers she talked about. There are many places, in fact, I have been there, and I have seen those scenes, probably because I am an old beggar, and my eyes are fixed on those things that eat and drink, but I don't think the scenery is beautiful. When I was about to wake up, I had a dream about a bride in a red wedding dress, who was very beautiful. ”

When he said the word beautiful, the corners of the old beggar's mouth rose slightly, drawing a gentle arc after the vicissitudes of life.

"I had a good dream, but the master of this family was not as lucky as me. Before dawn, there was a mess in this house, and someone ran out, saying that they were going to call the doctor, saying that their master was choked by the throat by a ghost. I asked what the hell it was, and the man's face turned pale with fright, and he only said that it was a female ghost with blurred facial features. I vaguely knew what was going on, but I let go of the man and lay back in the corner. I have heard a lot about the bad things of this big family, and nine times out of ten, it was the sin that their master created in the past. ”

The old beggar got up, moved his muscles and sat down again: "The same thing happened for several nights in a row, and I also heard a fairly complete story. That woman is very pitiful, and she is very miserable to be bullied by the master of this family. Since the haunting of this house, there have been a series of accidents in their house, either someone is unlucky or someone is injured, and almost everyone in the house has seen the female ghost. The timid were frightened and sick, and the bold did not dare to show his face at night. The luck of this family was exhausted in just half a year. ”
