Chapter 5 Burial of Wronged Souls under the Begonia Tree

After doing some work, the ink left behind, and when he left, he deliberately left the candle to illuminate the inside of the room.

Dong Liang was lying on the bed, probably because he had a lot of things to do during the day, and he was really tired, so he fell asleep quickly.

In the second half of the night, it was raining outside, dripping, although it was not big, but listening to the momentum, it seemed that some of it was falling, and it should last for a while. However, the dry weather was relieved, and the harvest in the fields was finally saved.

The inside of the room may not be closed tightly, and the wind blowing outside is blowing, and the wind blowing in is cold and swishing, and the east fence who is not honest in sleep and kicks the quilt is frozen and awakened, rubbing his eyes and getting up, the candlelight has dimmed, swaying in the wind, and it seems that it will be extinguished soon.

Dong Liang called out the ink twice, there was no movement outside, and shook his head secretly, this girl slept more dead than herself, and got up to close the window with her clothes on, and the branches outside were blown by the wind and beat the window, fluttering.

After closing the window, he thought about it for a while, and moved a stool over and put it on the table against the window to prevent it from being blown open again. Then he clapped his hands, picked up the small silver scissors and cut the candle, the candlelight brightened again, then he yawned with satisfaction, put down the scissors and prepared to go back to bed to sleep for a while. As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw a miserable white face, and suddenly the yawn that was halfway through it stopped.

Dong Liang screamed in fright, the voice was very high, but the ink outside still had no sound, the surroundings were quiet, as if they had become two worlds with the outside, and Dong Li was the only one here facing this unknown thing.

Dong Li was drenched in sweat for a moment, wasn't this the woman in white he saw in the evening? When I looked closer, she was actually a beauty, with a pair of watery phoenix eyes, and a small and cute melon seed face, but her face was too pale.

Dong Li subconsciously touched the small scissors used to cut candles and held them tightly in his hand: "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

The woman in white looked at her directly, and suddenly grinned: "Can you see me?" Can you really see it? ”

Holding the scissors in his hand, Dong Li took a few steps back, until his back hit the cold wall: "Are you a human or a ghost?" What do you want to do? ”

"You can really see me." The woman in white finally came to this conclusion, and then came over lightly: "You can see me, you can see me!" ”

The east fence almost collapsed, such a rainy night, there was no one around, no one could hear the call, but there was a female ghost in white, it's a ghost, right? Eyeing her here.

"Don't come here!" Raised the sharp knife in front of his eyes, endured the leg that was almost weak, and fine sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, but he comforted himself over and over again in his heart, there is nothing to be afraid of, isn't it a ghost? They are all made of people, can they be more terrible than the human heart? But when I saw the woman's pale face, I felt a chill in my heart.

"I won't hurt you, I need your help." The female ghost actually stopped and looked at her faintly: "Ghosts are not terrible, the most terrible thing is those vicious people. ”

Seeing that she had stopped, Dong Li breathed a sigh of relief: "How can I help you?" Not even you can do it, I'm just a little girl. ”

"It's because I'm a ghost that I can't do these things." The woman stepped back a distance, indicating her attitude, and Higashi looked a little more relaxed.

"I am the wife of the original owner of this house, my surname is Liu, and everyone else calls me Han Liu." The female ghost speaks quietly, and she thinks she is also a well-bred girl from a large family.

Han Liu's? Dong Liang was stunned for a moment, remembering that Mo Youran said that the original owner of this house was surnamed Han, but the lady was surnamed Wu, but this female ghost claimed that she was the wife of Master Han: "You are the wife of Master Han?" But I heard ......"

"Heard of what? That slut is Madame? Liu's eyes suddenly became particularly terrifying, and a pair of apricot eyes seemed to be about to burst out again in an instant, but when he saw the slightly frightened eyes of Dongli in front of him, he still held back: "That slut was originally a maid next to me, and now he actually calls himself a lady!" ”

Is Wu actually a maid? Dong Li was stunned for a moment, the original match and the junior?

"I am a girl from the Liu family, and my father used to be a local county magistrate, and he was also a young lady from an official eunuch's family." The Liu family began to talk quietly, which was nothing more than the marriage between a young lady from a large family and the son of a wealthy family.

When he first got married, Master Han was very good to the Liu family, firstly, the newlywed Yan'er between the young husband and wife, and secondly, the father-in-law was an official and could not afford to offend, so the Liu family lived a happy life for many days.

But later, after the old man of the Liu family stepped down, everything was different.

Master Han didn't have his father-in-law on his head, and he suddenly became arrogant, the old guy had no power for a long time, and besides, the Han family had developed with the help of the old guy over the years, and he didn't care about a small county order at all, not to mention that he was still a resigned. So the suffering of the Liu clan came.

At first, he kept sleeping outside and sleeping in Liu, and then he carried back the concubine to the house room after room, and the Liu family also understood that he had no mother's family to rely on, so he didn't dare to cry loudly, so he could only swallow his anger and let a group of women point at Sang and scold Huai's sarcasm.

Later, seeing that Master Han did not stop it, the women intensified, and there was a personal maid by Liu's side, whose name was Yujin, who was later Wu, and also took this opportunity to climb into Master Han's bed. Yu Jin is beautiful, and she has a special mouth and can speak, and she quickly won the favor of Master Han, because she was born as a maidservant, and it was not very nice to say, and Master Han even asked Liu to recognize this Yu Jin as a cousin.

Later things don't need to be said by the Liu family, and the east fence is also roughly guessed, this Wu family is a scheming person when he hears it, and now he has not only got the favor of the master, but also got the identity, and the next thing to plot is naturally the location of the main room, this Liu family is also a fool, and the identity of the servant girl is not clearly given to others hope? A slave maid can't be a wife, but Wu Yujin has become Liu's cousin, that is the status of a good family, and she is naturally qualified.

As a result, Liu, who was in the way of others, was secretly killed.

Dongli sighed, this is the disadvantage of three wives and four concubines, how tragic the fight between women is, no worse than the confrontation between men. Liu was still chattering over there, talking about his grievances. Wu Yujin gave her the bird's nest I don't know what to do, I fell asleep after using it, and when she woke up, she found that she had become a lonely ghost, and the person who killed her stood aside and looked at her corpse hanging on the beam and sneered.

What made it even more difficult for Liu to accept was that his husband, Master Han, knew that he was killed by Wu Yujin's slut, but he turned a blind eye to it, and agreed with Wu's reason that his wife couldn't be jealous.

Wu was worried that Liu's ghost would haunt him after his death, so he found a Taoist priest from Youfang, who was greedy for the money given by Wu, so he came up with an idea to bury Liu's body under the Xifu Begonia, and used the water turned into a charm to water the Begonia tree every day, and suppressed Liu's death, so that she could only cling to the Begonia tree and could not leave this courtyard.

Then the Wu family packed his bags and followed Master Han back to his hometown, and the house was sold to the Mo family.

No wonder they specially asked Haosheng to take care of this Xifu begonia when they left, Dongli felt a little uncomfortable, and she sat under the begonia tree for a while today. No wonder the begonias are so lush, it turns out that there is a reason.

"Are you telling me this to ask me to avenge your grievances?" Dong Liang cleaned up his mood, but the scissors in his hand were not put down: "I will ask someone to go to the yamen to call someone tomorrow, your body is buried under the begonia tree, dig it up and see the clues." I won't be able to run away from them when the time comes. ”

Liu's Yingying bowed: "Thank you benefactor!" The little woman must remember the great kindness of her benefactor. ”

It's enough for you not to come out and scare me, Dong Liang secretly complained, Liu Shi had already floated out like a puff of smoke, and there was a confused voice from outside: "Miss, what are you doing when you get up?" If there is anything, just call the slave and maid. ”

"It's okay, the windows aren't closed tightly, it's all right, you can go back to sleep." Dong Li let go of the scissors, a layer of sweat in his palms, and went back to bed with a sigh of relief, but he couldn't sleep anymore, tossing and turning for a while, secretly annoyed that the Han family was bold and killed people, but he still sold the haunted house to them.

Parents will come here tomorrow, so it is better to deal with this matter before the parents arrive, so as not to worry about the second elder.

After lying on the bed for a while, I heard the rooster crow outside, the girl was very diligent, she got up early and got busy, Dong Li heard the movement outside, and got up: "Ink, is it still raining outside?" ”

Ink immediately came in: "Why don't you sleep more?" It's still early. The rain has stopped, but the weather is still gloomy, and it is estimated that it will fall later. ”

Dong Li was thinking about last night, how could she sleep peacefully, Ink added a thick dress to her, and she couldn't wait to go out and go straight to Naxi Mansion Begonia.

It had just rained, and the ground was wet and muddy, and the ink caught up behind him with an oil-paper umbrella: "There is a lot of rain on the begonia tree, beware of being watered by the rain and catching a cold." ”

After a night of wind and rain, the begonias in Xifu are full of scattered petals, "Do you know?" Did you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin", Dong Liang muttered a sentence and called the ink: "Go and call my brother to come over, and say that I have something important to tell him, and ask my brother to bring a few more family members over." ”

Shui Mo muttered in his heart, why was the young lady strange early in the morning, but he didn't ask too much, he stuffed the umbrella to Dong Li and ran away.

The east fence looked up at the luxuriant begonia tree, such a beautiful thing, but there is such a terrible secret hidden underneath, no matter what, this begonia can't be kept, or get rid of it quickly, otherwise you will think of the Liu family when you see it.

Mo Youran came over quickly, and there were several strong family members behind him, and he saw it from a distance, and said to the begonia tree with his hands folded: "You can rest assured, I will definitely ask you to settle your grievances." ”
