Chapter 144: There Are Ghosts
"Bai Erlang, you don't plan to die, why do you want to hang Bai Aya, look like you're going to hang yourself."
Nanji looked at the strip of white cloth that was still wrapped around the fork of the branch, and that strip of cloth didn't look like a belt, it seemed to be a white silk that was bought on purpose.
"I ...... I can't live anymore. ”
When Bai Erlang said this, it was obvious that a big man was in tears, he wiped his tears with the corner of his sleeve, but the more he wiped his tears, the more he drooped.
This man is afraid that when he is sad, he will be asked why. If you are a person, the anguish in your heart can only be accumulated in the bottom of your heart, and you must not vent it. But if someone else asks, it will be like the flood that has been surging has been opened and the closed floodgates have been opened, and all the grievances and depression in my heart will pour out at once.
"Woo woo woo ......"
He began to cry again, holding his sleeve to his mouth, tears crackling and drenching his white cuffs.
"Oh, you're ......"
Nan Er doesn't like to see people cry, especially a man. You say that you are a dignified man, there is something you can't look at, why do you have to cry like a little girl.
"What are the difficult things you say, if you don't say it, how can I help you?"
"Can't help me...... Woohoo......"
Bai Erlang shook his head, he choked up and rejected Nanji's kindness.
"You step on a horse...... Don't force me to scold, or I'll help you hang up the white silk again, and you close your eyes and kick your legs. ”
Nan Er made a tongue sticking out motion, and at the same time rolled his eyes violently, making the appearance of a hanged man, and then said:
"It's a hundred!"
"No, no...... It was so painful to hang myself, the rope made my neck hurt. I didn't want to hang myself, I knew it would be so painful, so I chose to drink poison. ”
Bai Erlang shook his head like a rattle, tears and snot were thrown out, and he looked like a little kid who had been robbed of a toy.
"Drink poison? Hehe, it's good to drink poison, a mouthful of poison in your stomach, you will feel as if there are hundreds of thousands of ants in your stomach constantly biting your internal organs, and then convulsions, start to foam at the mouth, and finally die a miserable death. ”
Nan Er deliberately wanted to scare Bai Erlang, so he said it so terrifyingly and cruelly, and sure enough, these words made Bai Erlang, who was originally whimpering, lose his voice.
The other party raised his head and looked at Nan Er with frightened red and swollen eyes, and his lips trembled for a long time before he asked tremblingly:
"Does it hurt?"
"Nonsense, where is there no pain in seeking death."
Nan Er pursed his lips angrily, feeling that Bai Erlang was just like a stupid child who hadn't grown up, and he was a little wronged, so he was noisy and noisy, and he planned to threaten his parents by skipping meals.
He patted his forehead a little speechlessly, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has seen a lot of ruthless and vicious guys, and there are also simple and honest people, but a stupid boy like Bai Erlang who is ignorant of the world is the first time he has seen it.
"Where is there no way to die without pain? I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of pain......"
Bai Erlang's eyes were red and swollen, and he said ridiculous things.
"Well, there are ways to die without pain. It's just a little bit not good. ”
Nanji grasped the hilt of the long knife at his waist, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes instantly became sharp, like a goshawk soaring in the sky ready to hunt.
"I'll kill you with a knife, and I promise it won't hurt."
"Huh? This ......"
Bai Erlang's eyes widened, he was only a few steps away from Nan Er, and he didn't have much feeling for this chivalrous man he saw for the first time, but when Nan Er's face was cold, he put on a posture ready to take out the knife.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew up from the spring hole under his feet, as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice that had just been carved out in the middle of winter, and it was cold from the soles of his feet all the way to his hair.
Bai Erlang couldn't help but shiver, and his legs were a little weak.
"Don't worry, none of the people who died under my knife said it would hurt."
Buzz –
The long knife is ready to be unsheathed.
Poof!
It's not that Bai Erlang's head fell to the ground, but because he was too scared, he sat under the tree with weak legs, or there was a tree trunk leaning against him, he was afraid that he would be paralyzed on the ground.
"I, I, I...... Spare your life. ”
Bai Erlang didn't shake his head, but his whole body trembled together, trembling like chaff.
"Are you still going to die?"
Nan Er glanced at it and asked coldly.
"No, no, no, no, no, no."
Bai Erlang hurriedly replied.
"That's right, how good it is to be a man, why do you want to die when you encounter something. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. ”
Nan Er put away his murderous aura, slowly pressed the knife back into the sheath, and then rubbed his cheeks unnaturally.
To be honest, it was the first time he had done it to scare people with a stiff face like this.
"But what I encountered, even if it was the resurrection of Song Qingguan, it couldn't be tried clearly, so I could get revenge."
Song Qingguan refers to a good official who appeared in Daqi decades ago, who was not only upright, but also good at judging unjust cases and loving the people like a son. At that time, there was a big case involving the two powerful people of Daqi, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to try the case, but this Lord Song stepped forward and finally returned the innocence of the deceased. At that time, even His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi praised him, saying that Lord Song was really a good official who was honest and honest.
Bai Erlang is a literati who reads, but his personality is weaker, and he doesn't like to socialize, and he only likes to read alone in the bedroom.
Although he is a little single-minded, he is not as pedantic as the old master, but he feels that he is now wronged and has no way out.
"What have you been wronged for?"
Nan Er was curious, and forced a simple guy like Bai Erlang to look like this wronged and death-seeking appearance, and he didn't know what kind of wrong.
"I ...... I...... Shame on the subject. ”
Bai Erlang twisted his face to the side, his face was aggrieved and tangled, and his bitter face made people frown when they saw it.
"Say!"
Nan Erlang broke off his drink, which made Bai Erlang, who was already sitting on the ground, tremble, if it weren't for the big tree behind him, he couldn't let him retreat anymore, I was afraid that he would have run out in fright.
"I ...... I woke up one day and found that it was not in my bed, and that there was a woman lying next to me. ”
Bai Erlang said intermittently.
"And then?"
"I went out, and I was seen, and then I was ...... He ran out and hanged himself. ”
"Oh. This doesn't sound like a big deal, I don't think you're an ordinary child, if something happens to a maid by accident, it's understandable, it's a big deal to take a concubine. ”
Nan Er was talking, but he saw Bai Erlang's face flushed, and his lips trembled for a long time, as if he had something to say, but he just couldn't say it.
"Which woman is what status?"
"My ...... Sister-in-law......"
Bai Erlang squeezed for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth like mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings.
"Oh!"
Nan Er's eyes widened, and he blurted out almost without thinking:
"Uncle and sister-in-law fornication! This is a great crime against ethics, and according to the laws of Daqi, it will be executed, so it's no wonder you fled here. ”
"It's not! No! I didn't! No! ”
Bai Erlang shook his head vigorously, and his two hands kept waving, resisting Nanji's words with all his heart.
"What's that? Don't tell me that the two of you fell in love, and then you couldn't help but go the wrong way. ”
"It's not! I didn't, I didn't have evil thoughts about my sister-in-law at all, but I didn't know what happened that day, and I appeared in my sister-in-law's room as soon as I woke up. ”
Bai Erlang hurriedly explained.
"I really haven't done anything wrong, but now I can't argue, and the whole Mulberry Town is talking about my unwarranted ugly thing, which really makes me shameless."
"It's hard. What did your sister-in-law say? If she also says that you haven't done it, there is only someone else to prove it to you. ”
"My sister-in-law...... She...... She ......"
When Bai Erlang talked about his sister-in-law, he was spitting again.
"Did she hang herself?"
Nan Er thought of the worst ending, that is, the sister-in-law of the Bai family was also ashamed of the ugly things outside and couldn't stand the gossip, so she hanged herself.
You know, people are terrible.
"No, my sister-in-law said I hadn't done anything like that. But...... But ......"
Bai Erlang twisted his jaw for a long time before he said:
"But she was diagnosed by a doctor and was pregnant."
"Yours? Or is it your big brother's? ”
Nanji tapped the scabbard and asked.
"My eldest brother...... It's been five years since he died. ”
Bai Erlang lowered his head, not daring to look at Nan Er again.
The current situation is that someone found out that he was sleeping in the same room with his widowed sister-in-law, and now the sister-in-law has been found to be pregnant, and she is really full of mouth and can't tell.
"Oh...... Then the child must be yours. ”
"Nope! I didn't! It's really not mine. ”
Bai Erlang was about to shake his head off, and the tears on his face were sprinkled everywhere, making Nanji take a step back with a frown.
"Is it possible that your sister-in-law had an affair with someone else, and then deliberately framed you for the sake of family property."
Nanji is more knowledgeable than Bai Erlang after all, and he quickly conceives a hypothesis in his mind, which can not only explain the current situation, but also conform to the truth of Bai Erlang's grievances.
"Probably not, my sister-in-law has always been a virtuous and virtuous person, this kind of thing...... I guess I can't do it. ”
Although Bai Erlang said that it was impossible, his eyes were firm, as if he had agreed with what Nan Er said.
"You listen to me, let's go to Mulberry Town together, I will help you find out the ins and outs of this matter, and return you to a clean house."
Nan Er patted his chest, what the people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to is to pull out a knife to help when the road is uneven, since this Bai Erlang is in trouble, he can help naturally.
If it were Nan Er, who didn't take revenge, maybe he wouldn't have done it, but since he got revenge, his personality has gradually become cheerful.
The two walked through the woods together and came to Xia Zhicicada, who was standing next to the horse and waiting.
Before Nan Er had time to introduce Bai Erlang, he saw Xia Zhician pointing at the other party and said:
"You've got a ghost on you."
