Chapter 249: The Soul of a Hundred Years Ago
At the beginning of the last century.
I don't know if it was the Guangxu year or the Republic of China year.
There is a big family in Lincheng, surnamed Luo, and the owner's family is called Luo Baichuan, who is a local rich man.
There are more than 30 people in this Luo Mansion, and they can afford to support so many people in that era, and the Luo family is naturally rich and powerful.
This Luo Baichuan married the aunt of the seventh room, and there are too many aunts, so it is naturally easy to have contradictions, especially after the aunt who is the main house passes away, several aunts are even more noisy every day, making Luofu chickens and dogs restless.
They are noisy, naturally to compete for favor, that Luo Baichuan Luo is a person who thinks in the lower half of his body, and he can't control too much every day, as long as he doesn't do it, he doesn't care about the contradictions between several women.
But then something happened, according to the information, it was the youngest aunt who had an accident at that time, that is, the seventh aunt.
One morning, the maid of the house went to the well to draw water, and just as she stretched out her head to put the bucket down, she saw a pair of eyes staring directly at her in the well.
The owner of this eye, whose face was pale, was floating on the water, and he looked like he was dead, and he was the seventh aunt in the house.
The maid was naturally frightened, and immediately shouted and called the other subordinates over, and asked the master to inform the master that the seventh aunt had drowned in the well.
Luo Baichuan rushed over to take a look, and he was also frightened, his little wife was not blind, she must have been killed.
But how can this be solved?
Usually, several aunts make a lot of trouble in order to compete for favor, and the death of these seven aunts must have been done by several other aunts.
Now that there is a fatality, you have to report to the official and let the government decide.
But if it is reported to the official, the murderer will definitely be arrested, and now that he has died an aunt, if he is arrested again, plus the main house that passed away, then he will lose three wives.
After thinking about it, Luo Baichuan decided not to report to the official, so he warned several other aunts, and then hastily settled the aftermath and buried the little wife.
No one dared to talk about the affairs of the big family, and the matter came to an end.
But it was only the death of the seventh aunt that came to an end, and the tragic fate of the entire Luo Mansion really began at the moment of the death of the seventh aunt.
This seventh aunt is the youngest one in the seven rooms, so she is often bullied by several other aunts, plus she gave birth to a daughter to Luo Baichuan, in that patriarchal era, it is better not to have a daughter, so her status in Luofu, which is not very high, is suddenly low to the same level as the next person.
Even she, a mother, was despised, and after her death, her daughter Luo Xiuzhu naturally did not get the kind treatment of the Luo Mansion.
According to the information, this Luo Xiuzhu's life in Luofu was very miserable, not as good as the next person, but how miserable it is, it is not specifically written, after all, this is a hundred years ago, and it is not easy for Boss Lin to find out.
In short, this Luo Xiuzhu, after her mother's death, basically didn't have a good life, her father, that is, Luo Baichuan, later married two wives, and she didn't have time to pay attention to her at all.
I don't know if the dead seventh aunt knew that her daughter was living too badly, or if the seventh aunt herself was too dead, which led to the unjust soul, and a year after her death, some strange things began to happen in Luofu.
As for what these strange things are, they are not written in the information, because the time is too long, this is one of them, and the most important reason is that the people of Luofu all died later, and there is no living mouth to spread the things that happened in the house......
There are more than 30 people in this Luo Mansion, plus the two aunts who Luo Baichuan married later, just enough for 40 people.
40 people, there will always be people in and out every day, and the Luo family is a big family, it is inevitable to receive some guests, but the strange thing is that since a certain day, the gate of the Luo Mansion has never been opened, and no one has ever gone out again.
During that period, some guests came to visit, and after knocking on the door, no one came to open it, and the whole Luo Mansion was like a ghost house.
It has been a month, a whole month has not opened the door of Luofu, it was winter, and then the residents of the neighborhood can smell a foul smell from time to time, at first this smell is not obvious, but as time goes by, these smells become more and more obvious, and some people smell it, saying that it is the smell of corpses, the smell of corpses decomposing.
At that time, a lot of people gathered at the gate of Luofu, because the smell of corpses, the closer to Luofu, the stronger it became.
Some people say that something must have happened in Luofu, someone must have died inside, and no one has been disposing of the corpse, so there is a corpse smell.
But this is a big family, who dares to break in and take a look?
No one dared, so everyone discussed, first went to report to the official, and let the people from the government go in to check.
On the same day, someone went to report to the official, and when the official heard that something had happened to the Luo family, he immediately paid attention to it and immediately sent many people to check.
And what is the situation in Luofu, this paragraph is recorded in detail in the data.
It said that when the people from the government came at that time, hundreds of people surrounded the outside of the Luo Mansion, and when the gate of the Luo Mansion was opened, hundreds of people's faces changed wildly, all of them vomited wildly, screamed again and again, and soon scattered and fled, like seeing a ghost in the daytime.
Why is there such an outrageous scene, because...... There are 40 people in Luofu, all of whom are dead!
The corpses, lying on the ground in strange postures and with hideous expressions, must have begun to rot because of the smell of corpses, crawling with insects and rats.
The scene is like purgatory!
At that time, it was winter and the temperature was very low, so it was a month before the corpse began to decompose and smell.
That's why there are exaggerated scenes of hundreds of people throwing up in unison.
According to the information, several aunts and wives of Luofu, each with dozens of knives, fell in the lobby of Luofu, and the person who slashed them was Luo Baichuan, the lord of Luofu.
And Luo Baichuan was the only one who hanged himself, he died in a side room, and that side room was where the seventh aunt lived before her death.
Later, after an autopsy, it was concluded that except for a few aunts and wives who were hacked and killed by Luo Baichuan, the rest of the people in Luo Mansion were all scared to death, and there were no external injuries on their bodies, nor traces of poisoning, but their expressions were hideous and terrifying, as if they had seen something terrible before they died.
And Luo Baichuan hanged himself to death.
There is also a very strange place here, that is, there are 40 people in Luofu, and after the accident, the official mission only found 39 corpses, and the body of the last person was never found.
And this missing corpse is none other than Luo Xiuzhu, the daughter of the seventh aunt.
The information also specifically noted that whether Luo Xiuzhu was dead or alive was inconclusive at that time, and no one had ever seen Luo Xiuzhu again.
