"Old man, can you make it clear, what does it mean to die for your daughter? Can this death also be replaced? ”

"Why not?" The old beggar asked Bai Li with red eyes: "Everything in this world can be replaced, as long as you have money, you can use it to buy your life." ”

"Even if I had money, I wouldn't use it to buy my life. Life is one's own, and no one has the right to buy or sell. Bai Li replied subconsciously. Born in a legal society, although she has heard some extremely dark things, compared with those gloom, she sees more positive and sunny sides. Even if the soul travels to the current world, even if she encounters such terrible things when she first crosses over, she still meets good people, and meets those who make her feel warm and hopeful.

"Madame Bai's heart is naturally open. But in this world, there are always some people who hide their hearts in dark corners where they can't see the sun. The old beggar squinted: "That rich businessman originally told his daughter about a family matter, and the other party was the young master of the prefect's family." But the young master died on the eve of getting married. The wealthy businessman originally thought that the future son-in-law was dead, and the family affairs would naturally be stopped. But the prefect disagreed and insisted on marrying his son. Not only did they have to marry their sons, but they also asked their daughters-in-law to go to the underworld to serve their sons. The people don't fight with the officials, and no matter how rich the businessmen are, they can only be bullied when they come to the prefect. In desperation, he thought of a way, which was to buy someone back and let her die in his place. Although the prefect said that he had seen his daughter on one side, but it was only one side, and he was not impressed by his daughter, as long as he found someone who was similar to his daughter in shape and appearance, then his daughter's crisis could be resolved. As a wealthy businessman who often asks for flowers and willows, he has naturally seen her, so he ransomed her under the pretext of wanting to take a concubine, and then ordered someone to poison her throat and forcibly send her to the sedan chair sent by the prefect to welcome her relatives. ”

"This rich businessman is too vicious, his daughter is a human being, isn't the daughter of someone else's a human being? Even if he doesn't want to, he can think of other tricks. ”

"Madame Bai is wrong in what she said, what this official master wants to do, how can the common people hide from it. This girl is what you said you wouldn't marry if you didn't marry? If you marry a girl, you may die alone. If you don't get married, your whole family may be unlucky. How can the life of this one person be worth the life of the whole family. Don't say that it is sacrificing other people's daughters, but when it is really a last resort, even your own daughter can be sacrificed. The richer the person, the harder the heart. Master Yue, who didn't know when he returned to the backyard, couldn't help but speak: "You also know that I am in the business of this old house, and the people I come into contact with here are all rich people, and I have seen all kinds of dirty things here." Don't look at those rich people who are dressed brightly on the surface, and they seem to be very happy and happy, but in fact, they live no less than the troubles of our ordinary people in private. ”

"Yes, those people are cleanly dressed, but each one is dirtier than the other." The old beggar spat at the ground: "The sedan chair set off from the rich merchant and carried it all the way to the direction of the prefect's yamen." I was standing on the side of the road talking to someone when the sedan chair passed me, and she heard my voice and struggled to get out of the sedan chair. I saw her, and I tried to save her, but I was pushed aside by the people who greeted her, and I could only watch her being stuffed back into the sedan chair by the gang.

By the time I ran all the way to the prefect's yamen and managed to sneak in, she was already dead. According to the onlookers, she insisted on refusing to marry the son of the prefect, and was ordered to be beaten to death by the angry prefect. Because he was afraid that she would make trouble after her death, he refused to go down to serve his son well, so the prefect invited a person who knew how to do it, forcibly broke all her limbs, stuffed her in a very strange jar, and then buried her with the son of the prefect. ”

"Why is she here when she's already buried?"

"Of course I dug it up." The old beggar said very easily: "I can't snatch her body out in front of so many people in the prefect's yamen, but I can pull her back from the prefect's son." I took advantage of the dead of night to go to the tomb that the prefect had specially built for his son, and I dug up the grave and dug out the prefect's son and her. I broke the jar, and I took her home. As for the prefect's son, of course I won't pay attention to it, so I'll let him stay there and be eaten by wild dogs. If something happened in the cemetery, the prefect would definitely know, but so what, he would only think of the head of the rich merchant, and he would only go to the rich merchant to question him, and he would not think of me, a little carpenter, at all. As for the rich merchant, he didn't dare to tell the prefect the truth at all, because he said that he would definitely die, but if he didn't say it, he might save his life. ”

"Well, the rich merchant can't tell the prefect that the bride is not his daughter. What if the prefect gets annoyed and pulls her daughter to fight again? When the time comes, not only will he lose his daughter, but he will also be settled by the prefect. No matter how stupid this rich businessman is, he can't shoot himself in the foot. ”

"I didn't care about that rich merchant at that time, and I didn't think about going to the rich merchant to take revenge, let alone going to the trouble of the prefect. It's not because I don't pity her, it's not because I don't care about her, I just said that I thought about giving up revenge, and I thought that if she came to me, I would live with her for the rest of my life. Life is short for decades, and there is no need to make your life unhappy for the sake of revenge. But God didn't give me this opportunity at all, as if I was born to avenge my lord, my lord, my lady, and my father. I didn't avenge her, because I knew how much I was capable of, and at that time, the only thing I could do to mention her was to hide her, so that the prefect could not find her, so that she would not have to be trapped in another place after she died. I used the method I had learned from the fragments, and the skills I had learned for many years to chisel and carve stones, to merge her with the young lady, and then seal them into the cornerstone. I'm not willing to harm Miss, I just want to hide her with the help of Miss's resentment, so that the mage invited by the prefect can't find her. ”

"I see." The female ghost sighed: "It's all pitiful, I am, she is, my daughter too, the three of us can stay together, maybe God is taking pity on the three of us." ”

"Madame, I'm sorry!"

"It's nothing, I don't resent you, on the contrary, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I might not be able to avenge myself and my poor daughter for the rest of my life."

"But I trapped Miss, and I trapped you, Madame."

"It's not you who trap us, it's the resentment in my own heart." The female ghost looked at him with a smile: "Actually, think about it, the tragedy of my life is not caused by me." If I had insisted on leaving and had my brother to protect me, their Zhang family would not dare to disagree, in the final analysis, I was cowardly. For now, I only want you to help Madame Bai, she has nothing to do with this matter and should not be involved. ”

"Don't worry, madam, the old beggar will." The old beggar said, took out a knife from his sleeve with his backhand, and stabbed it into his heart: "Her wish is to be with me, and she is waiting for me to pick her up." ”

Just as the old beggar fell to the ground, the red thread on Bai Li's finger also broke away from her fingertips, and then crawled towards the old beggar, slowly wrapping him into a red cocoon.
