Looking at the peachwood sword in Zhang Jingxu's hand, and the cold voice of questioning, for some reason, Zhang Gui suddenly laughed!

It's a weird laugh!

"If you're still a night watchman, maybe I'll be a little cautious."

"However, you are no more!"

The gloomy smile was inexplicably proud, but in the whispering, there seemed to be some kind of unbearableness.

He looked at Zhang Jingxu and suddenly sighed: "Actually, I don't want to hurt people, but I have to." ”

said and looked up to the sky, as if recalling something: "There is one thing you guessed correctly, I am indeed not from Zhangjia Village, but at the same time you guessed wrong, I was indeed from Zhangjia Village." ”

It sounds like a twist.

While admitting that he was not from Zhangjiacun, he also said that he was indeed from Zhangjiacun.

The diametrically opposed rhetoric is puzzling.

However, Zhang Jingxu seemed to understand a little, and said thoughtfully: "You admit that you are not from Zhangjiacun, which means that you are not from Zhangjiacun now." But when he says that he is from Zhangjia Village, he means that he has lived here before, right? ”

Zhang Gui still looked up at the sky and muttered: "Not only did I live here, I have lived in Zhangjia Village all my life, and even until the day I died, I never left the village for thirty miles......

He paused as he spoke, and continued to mumble, "And the only time I went out was the time I made the same money. ”

Zhang Jingxu was silent, as if he didn't want to interrupt his memories.

However, Zhang Gui withdrew his gaze from the sky, and began to look at Zhang Jingxu with a sympathetic smile: "You should have understood that I am no longer human." It's a lonely soul, it's a terrible ghost, and when I die, I am full of resentment, which leads to the breeding of anger after death, so I can't enter reincarnation, and I am destined to be a terrible ghost who harms people......"

Zhang Jingxu pointed to the big pit in front of him and asked, "When you were dying, you were resentful, was it because of this money?" ”

Zhang Gui chuckled gloomily, but did not answer.

Zhang Jingxu continued: "It's better for me to guess, you were a citizen of Zhangjia Village before your death, and there was a blind mother at home, because your family was poor, so you had no money to heal ......."

"But you are filial by nature, and you feel like a knife in your heart, so in order to treat your mother, you choose to take risks."

"You are an honest citizen, and you have never been far away in your life, but for the sake of your mother at home, you decided to go far away once."

"That time I went far away, it should have been to win a lot of ill-gotten gains, and you succeeded, and brought back the usual money."

"But I don't know what happened on the way back, and you died in the woods before you even entered the village. The bones were left out, and no one collected them for you, so he became a lonely ghost. ”

After Zhang Jingxu finished his guess, he looked at Zhang Gui and asked, "Am I guessing right?" ”

Zhang Gui just smiled sadly, and seemed to have really guessed by Zhang Jingxu.

However, he roared violently, and said with a hideous and terrifying face: "It's not ill-gotten gains, this is my coolie money, count nine bitter cold, I jumped into the icy water to dig the pond mud, for three months in a row, a whole winter...... I saved this money all winter. ”

For a whole winter, I jumped into the icy water to dig the pond mud, and as a result, I only saved the usual money.

There has always been a thousand wen copper plates, which sounds like a lot of money, but the whole cold winter is so long, and it is only a few cents a day when it is apportioned.

What a harsh exploitation and oppression.

Zhang Jingxu was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "This damn world. ”

Zhang Gui's voice was even colder, and he said with deep resentment: "Poor people, life should be like this, since I choose to sell my life, I don't resent their exploitation." To be honest, although I suffered all winter, I was actually happy in my heart...... Because with this money, I can finally hire a doctor for my mother. ”

Zhang Jingxu was slightly stunned: "In that case, why did you say that you were resentful just now." ”

"Why am I resentful?"

Zhang Gui suddenly smiled miserably: "Because, because, they don't even plan to let me take home this consistent money that has been stripped to the extreme!" ”

In the miserable laughter, his eyes were full of blood, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods in front of him, and howled: "It's in this place, it's in this place, their family killed me, so that I couldn't bring the money home when I died......"

"I didn't even get the money home when I died!"

It's a tragic story.

Zhang Jingxu only felt uncomfortable with a blockage in his chest.

He could imagine that a poor man who worked hard for a cold winter finally saved his usual money, brought it back with joy, and prepared to treat his mother's illness, and his heart was full of longing for life.

However, just a step away from his home, he was intercepted and killed!

The poor people, killed, and killed, are not the greatest hatred!

Hope suddenly despairs, and it is resentment.

No wonder it turns into a ghost.

……

Zhang Jingxu wanted to comfort a few words, but unfortunately he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.

Suddenly, he frowned, and noticed a loophole in this story: "Since you were intercepted and killed here, those family members should have robbed the money, but why, there is still money buried in this pit?" Could it be that it was their conscience that found it? ”

"Hahahaha!"

When Zhang Gui heard his questioning, he suddenly laughed wildly, and said with a hideous face: "Will they find out with their conscience?" How is it possible, how is it possible? ”

"Not to mention the consistent money, they didn't even keep a copper plate."

"After killing me, they all snatched it!"

Zhang Jingxu's brows furrowed even more: "Then where did the money come from in this pit?" ”

"Money in the pit?" Zhang Gui continued to laugh wildly, and suddenly pointed at the big pit: "Take a good look, is there really money in the pit?" ”

Zhang Jingxu was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the big pit in front of him again, and was suddenly shocked, but a deep sadness appeared in his heart.

I saw that in the big pit in front of me, where was there still money, there were some bones, scattered there.

He blurted out, full of shock: "The copper coin just now is an illusion? ”

I only heard Zhang Gui's extremely sad voice: "This is my bones, resentment is attached to it, and I die because of money, and I turn into copper coins." They robbed me of my coolie money and made me an angry ghost. ”

Zhang Jingxu sighed silently and said softly: "I understand, it turns out that this is unwillingness to die." Resentment, it turns out that this is resentment. ”

He looked up at Zhang Gui: "Although you were full of resentment when you were dying, the people who harmed you were those big families, and our Zhangjia Village is your hometown, why do you want to harm the people in the village?" ”

After a pause, he pointed to Zhang San who was not far away, and said, "For example, Zhang San's nephew, he is about the same age as when you were dying." He also has a mother at home, who needs support in old age. However, you have lost Zhang San's mind, obviously trying to kill him here......"

After Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, he solemnly asked, "Do you really have to bear it?" ”

How do you know that Zhang Gui roared: "Why can't I bear it?" He was harmed because he had a leak to drill. If it weren't for the greed in my heart, I wouldn't have let him be fooled! ”

Saying that, he roared again, and said with a crazy expression: "Besides, I'm already a ghost, why do I miss the old villagers?" I couldn't bury myself back in Zhangjia Village when I was dying, and the people in the village were no longer enough for me to miss the old days. ”

Zhang Jingxu was silent.

After a while, he sighed: "You were born in Zhangjia Village, you should know the situation in the village." In our village, the family is poor. It's hard to resist the temptation of money after a hard life for too long...... Therefore, Zhang San's nephew's greed is understandable. ”

Zhang Gui just sneered.

Zhang Jingxu said again: "Just now you kept urging him to take money from the pit, in fact, you wanted him to pick up your bones, right?" Can you tell me about the doorway, this is your way of harming people. ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Gui was also frank, and said with compassion: "If the evil ghost wants to harm people, he must catch people's defects. If he picks up my bones, I will be able to inflict on him with my resentment, and it will only take a moment or three to make him die. ”

"And what if he doesn't take it?" Zhang Jingxu asked rhetorically.

Zhang Gui raised his head in a tone, and said in a quiet voice: "If you don't take it, there is a way, forcibly use ghost qi to pounce on him, you can also make him sick." ”

Zhang Jing's heart moved: "It's just sick? Not going to die right away. ”

Zhang Gui obviously hesitated, as if he didn't want to reveal his secret, but after a long time, he finally replied for some reason: "Even ordinary people have three fires on their bodies, which are given by God, regardless of poverty, poverty and poverty are treated equally......"

"The three fires of a man are amulets, one on each of the left and right shoulders, and one in the middle of the forehead."

"If the evil ghost uses his ghost qi to harm people, he will first suffer three fires to fight back, so if Zhang San doesn't take my bones, then I will also be hit hard if I forcibly harm him."

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved again: "How heavy will the heavy damage be?" ”

Zhang Gui hesitated again.

After a long time, he calmly replied, "It's enough to make my soul fly." ”

How can an ordinary person's three fires have such power?

Zhang Jingxu was visibly shocked.

Zhang Gui seemed to see his suspicions, and suddenly sighed softly.

He pointed to the peachwood sword in Zhang Jingxu's hand, and said with some mockery: "Now you understand, the night watchman relies on three fires, in fact, the night watchman has no special ability, they just exchange their lives for the safety of the village." ”

Zhang Jingxu frowned: "Since this is the case, then ordinary people should be okay too." ”

Zhang Gui sneered: "Ordinary people are naturally okay, but are ordinary people willing to work hard?" No matter how poor life is, after all, it can be difficult to live. And being able to live is already a kind of happiness. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Jingxu, and said, "But the night watchman is different, you were born with five disadvantages and three shortcomings." He is often scolded, ridiculed and teased. ”

Zhang Jingxu was thoughtful, nodded and said, "In this case, it is inevitable that you don't care about life and death. What is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death. ”

Zhang Gui sighed: "So the night watchman dares to play with his life, and he plays with his three fires." And the ghosts are generally unwilling to resist the three fires unless they have to. As long as it is burned, it is easy to lose your soul. ”

Zhang Jingxu hurriedly asked, "After the three fires burned the ghosts, what will be the end of the night watchman?" ”

Zhang Gui turned into a gloomy smile again: "Naturally, I will also die, this matter is to die with the evil ghosts." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Jingxu and said, "How is it?" Are you feeling scared right now? You used to be a night watchman, but now you're a normal person...... You no longer have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and you can live a normal life in the future, so do you dare to fight with me, a demon, with three fires? ”

Zhang Gui said this very clearly.

If you work hard, you will die together.

Of course, three fires can burn ghosts and souls, but after burning, they will also die.

The choice was tough.

……

The night was gloomy and the fog was thick, Zhang Jing was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I don't plan to fight you with three fires." ”

Zhang Gui suddenly laughed with a mocking face, and the ghost qi began to churn all over his body.

You don't dare to fight with me

Then I'll kill Zhang San.

But the next moment, this terrible ghost suddenly stood on the spot.

It's just that Zhang Jingxu spoke slowly again, and his tone became extremely gentle: "The reason is very simple, uncle, I don't think you are a ghost......

The night was cold, but Zhang Jingxu's voice was like a warm stove, and he said more gently: "I knew from the beginning that you were a good boy, although you were dead, although you were dying with hatred, but you couldn't bear to hurt people in your heart." ”

"Kid, you're a good boy!"

"Uncle, I promise you, I will collect your bones and bury you in the village grave at the west end of our village, next to your mother's grave......"

"Son, this should be your wish."

"You use your bones to transform into copper coins and tempt Zhang San to dig it out. In fact, you don't plan to harm Zhang San, you just hope that he can bury you home. Right? ”

"In that case......

"Kid, uncle will take you home!"

This last sentence, a gentle and cordial way home, actually made a fierce ghost with a hideous face stiffen, and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Jingxu.

Wail!

"Uncle, uncle, I'm so bitter, I'm really bitter. Buried in this big pit, I have nothing but cold every day...... Uncle, uncle, I'm so miserable! ”

Zhang Jingxu stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his forehead.

Although the palms of his hands shuttled and could not really touch Zhang Gui, Zhang Gui trembled, and his face showed a deep happiness.

That kind of happiness is clearly a kind of happiness that can be cherished by elders.

"Uncle, take me home. Bury me next to my mother. ”

"Okay, Uncle will take you home."

The night was still cold, but the fog slowly lifted.

There was a bright moon, sprinkling the sky with brilliance.

"Kid, let's go home."

"Even if you have been dead for a long, long time, you are still a child of our Zhangjia Village. Since Uncle is keeping vigil to see you, how can he bear to let you wander alone......"
