Chapter 19: The Past of Xiangye (II)
"Ghost?" Li Xuyang asked as he interrupted Xiang Ye's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ghost fires were unraveled by scientists decades ago, because cracks appeared in the ground, which moved the phosphorus that came out of the ground, and the phosphorus burned when it met oxygen. But these are usually in swamps, or in areas after an earthquake, rather than in the usual fields.
"Yes, I thought it was a ghost, and at that time, I was scared. I almost fainted with fear, it was terrible. When Xiang Ye said this, Li Xuyang noticed that the smile on Xiang Ye's face disappeared.
Xiang Ye didn't care about anything else, so he threw down the flashlight in his hand and ran back while shouting. But after every few steps, a cool breeze blew from behind him, which made him shiver, and then stopped.
Xiang Ye didn't know why he stopped, but he felt very cold. At that time, the sky was not very cold, and the lowest temperature at night could be about ten degrees, but at that moment, Xiangye let himself fall into the ice cellar, and it was cold to the bone.
"Don't go, I'm dying so miserably~"
A woman's voice came from behind Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye didn't dare to look back, but he could strongly feel that the owner of the voice was behind him, and he was about to be next to him. The feeling of cold also became more and more intense, and suddenly, Xiang Ye felt something on his left shoulder.
Xiang Ye endured the fear in his heart, nodded slightly mechanically, but saw a white hand, which was very white, like a freshly painted white paint. From that hand on his left shoulder, his body temperature dropped to freezing.
"Help me. The woman's voice continued.
"You, you, you, who are you?" Xiang Ye felt that his whole body was trembling, and when he spoke, his teeth were colliding with each other, and he was able to squeeze these words out of his mouth, and he also forced them out.
"I am a widow in this village, but I was buried alive, I am so miserable, can you save me. ”
"Widows in this village?" Xiang Ye was a little puzzled, there were not no widows in this village, but there were only two or three. In his memory, there are really no widows who have died recently, and the only one that has is a widow Li who died at the end of last year.
"Can you tell me, what is your name?" Xiang Ye didn't dare to look back, nor did he dare to move the hand on his shoulder, so he could only ask the person behind him.
"My name is Annette Li. ”
"Ahh When Xiang Ye heard this name, he sat on the ground, and when he was sitting on the ground, he ran into the "person" behind him who called himself Li Xiulian.
Xiang Ye put his hands on the ground, raised his head slightly, and looked up, a skull that had rotted to the point of only white bones, looking down with black eyes, and Xiang Ye's eyes were facing each other.
Messy hair, hair still with mud, the soil is still a little damp, faintly in addition to the smell of rotting corpses from Li Xiulian's body, there is also a little smell of earth. The clothes all over the body were tattered, and the clothes were also stained with mud, and a little mud fell on Xiangye's face.
"Ah, don't look for me, you weren't killed by me. Xiang Ye was so frightened that he got up directly from the ground, only crawled forward a few times, fell to the ground, and fainted.
When Xiangye woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Guarding him was Li Zhaoqing, and when he asked Li Zhaoqing what was going on, he knew the reason for everything.
During the day, when a member of the Zhao family was cutting wheat in the field, he accidentally cut his hand, and the blood sank into the soil along his fingers.
But buried in the grave is the widow Li Xiulian, who died more than half a year ago. Blood dripped on Annette Li's forehead, and it was that drop of blood that awakened Annette Lee's remnants of soul.
Li Xiulian died horizontally, and she didn't feel the slightest pain, so she died directly. Being able to wake up, for Annette Li, is that she has had a long dream, but she doesn't know that she is dead.
In the remnants of her soul memory, all she can remember is that she went out to worship her husband who died on the first anniversary. When she passed a small hill, she unexpectedly came across a rock, which hit her right on the head and killed her.
Her body was found the next day, and when it was found, she was completely cold. It has been confirmed dead, and it is impossible to save it. The villagers were kind enough to roll her in a straw mat and bury her in the ground. But who would have thought that because of a drop of blood, Annette Li would be able to miraculously "resurrect" half a year after her death.
"Brother Zhaoqing, what about her?" Xiang Ye didn't know how to describe Li Xiulian, let alone how to call her, so he only used the word "she".
"It's gone, it's gone. Li Zhaoqing just wanted to say that he had left, but he was worried that Xiangye might still be afraid, and he was even more afraid that it would leave him with some shadow, so in order not to make him worry, he added the latter sentence.
Xiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he was regretting or pitying Li Xiulian's tragic fate.
"Well, don't worry. If you're pretty much rested, get up and get to work! Li Zhaoqing walked over and patted Xiangye's shoulder, smiled, and comforted.
"What happened after that?" asked Li Xuyang.
"I would have thought that even if that incident was really in the past, of course, I later learned that my life was not picked up, but saved by your grandfather, I owe your grandfather too much, and I owe you too much to the Li family. Xiang Ye said this, falling into sadness, probably because he remembered Li Zhaoqing's death, so he showed sadness.
Xiang Ye took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his tears, and continued.
"Not many people know about that night, except for your grandfather, there is another person, and that person is also from our group. But this time, it had something to do with that person. ”
That man was a named trickster in the village, and the nickname Trickster stayed with him all his life. From stealing melons and dates when he was a child, to shamelessly peeking at women taking a bath when he grew up, etc., the people who scolded him were almost half the people of the village.
This person's name is Wang Kai, and he looks quite handsome, but he is idle and lazy. Because of this, he didn't get married and have children in his twenties.
That night, Xiangye encountered a ghost and was heard by Wang Kai. Wang Kai also knew that there was a girl who was dating Xiangye when he was young, but in order to have something to eat if he didn't want to do it, he could only use this matter as a coercion to blackmail Xiangye.
One day, Wang Kai called Xiang Ye aside, smiled and said with a strange smile, "Ah Xiang, I know that you are dealing with the object, but the rivers and lakes are in emergency, hehe, can you ...... it?"
As soon as Xiang Ye saw Wang Kai's obscene appearance, he knew what he wanted to do, so he directly interrupted him and refused.
Wang Kai didn't get angry after hearing Xiangye's refusal, but continued to smile and said, "Then what you saw the hell the night before, if someone else's girl knew about it, you would ...... it."
After Wang Kai finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and then made a helpless movement, which seemed to say, "One shot and two scattered." ”
"You. Xiang Ye looked at this Wang Kai viciously, and only dared to be angry but didn't dare to say anything else. At that time, although it was not difficult to get married, there were many girls in Shili and Eight Villages, and the girls' requirements were not high, even if your family was poor and the house could not be built, as long as you were willing to work hard, the girls would not dislike it.
But if you are lazy and idle, just like Wang Kai, even if you are handsome, no girl is willing to marry him.
At that time, a person's reputation and face were more valuable than their own property or assets.
In order to save his reputation, Xiang Ye had to compromise. promised Wang Kai that when distributing food stamps or other stamps, he voluntarily gave him half of it, and the only condition was not to let him tell him what he had done.
After hearing Xiangye's promise, Wang Kai smiled even brighter, patting his chest and promising that he would not say it.
Seeing that Xiang Ye was about to get married, Wang Kai once again wanted to blackmail Xiang Ye again on the grounds of "seeing ghosts". Xiang Ye has also had enough of Wang Kai like this, from the first time to the present, it adds up to less than three months, but he has blackmailed himself seven times.
The day before Xiangye's wedding day, Wang Kai found him again, but this time when he came, he was still drunk.
"Ah Xiang, look. Wang Kai said, turning out the pockets of his clothes, the meaning is obvious, that is, he has no money to spend, and his pockets are empty.
"Wang Kai, this is your eighth time, but this is also the last time, I can give you the money, I hope you don't come to me in the future. Xiang Ye angrily threw a few food stamps to Wang Kai.
Wang Kai looked at the food stamps, then threw them on the ground, pointed at Xiangye and scolded, "What do you think you are? I came to you to give you face." ”
"You. Xiang Ye looked at Wang Kai, who was already drunk, and didn't want to entangle with him, so he turned around and left. was pulled back by Wang Kai, and Xiang Ye shook his hand and asked Wang Kai's hand. But Wang Kai didn't give up, and hit Xiang Ye directly with his head, after Xiang Ye dodged, he hit the air all at once, and because it was a horizontal log under the door frame, he tripped and died head-down.
But this scene was seen by Li Zhaoqing, who happened to come to Xiangye to have something, and after asking what happened, Li Zhaoqing also said for the sake of his personal relationship with Xiangye, "This matter will be put aside first, and after getting married, you take Ah Ya (Xiangye's wife who is about to get married) to the city, and I will solve the matter here, if you can, never come back." ”
Xiang Ye was very moved at that time and nodded again and again. And he didn't know that after that time, when he saw Li Zhaoqing again, he saw Li Zhaoqing's body.
