Chapter 5: Evil
In a glittering glow.
The female ghost faded away from her evil appearance and turned into a fair girl.
The girl is twenty-eight years old, with a plump body and Zhou Zheng facial features, which is exactly what Liu Xiu looked like before her death. However, the body of the ghost does not have the solidity of a living person, and is translucent.
"Hey, it's really Liu!"
"Nizi was good-looking when she was alive, and she cheapened that kid. ”
"Xiaodao has a good ability, and he actually brought the female ghost back. ”
The neighborhood was talking.
Liu Xiu's face was in a trance, and after a while, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, recalling his past experiences before his death.
"Thank you, Greeting. ”
She came to the little immortal Taoist priest and saluted and thanked her.
After that, he glanced at her husband Tao Jin on the side with disgust, it turned out that when the only son of the Tao family saw the evil ghost appear, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling, without manly spirit.
"Da En didn't dare to do it, just raise his hands. ”
The little Taoist priest waved his hand lightly. But his face, flushed with excitement, betrayed him.
"Your evil thoughts are gone, reincarnate. ”
Then.
"The Faithful Girl Has a Grievance......"
Liu Xiu's soul suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply to the ground.
"Please make the decision for me!"
Although the little Taoist priest has been learning from the appearance of an adult in speech and behavior, he is still a child after all, and he was stunned for a while.
After thinking for a while, he scratched his head and said, "The ghost matter, Xiao Dao can't be the master, and it must be tried by the Yin Division judge." ”
"Believers are ghosts, but they are still alive. ”
Liu Xiu pointed at Tao Jin, and then at Tao Afu and his wife, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Please also ask the Taoist chief to uphold justice!"
The voice fell.
"Lady, your death has nothing to do with me!"
Tao Jin, who was "pretending to be dead" on the side, suddenly turned over, leaned in front of his wife's soul, slammed his forehead on the ground, and cried and howled:
"It wasn't my idea to push you into the well, they did it, and it has nothing to do with me...... It has nothing to do with me......"
"You can't get away with it!"
Liu Xiu was so angry that she kicked her husband, but her leg passed through him.
"Forehead ......"
The little Taoist priest has just entered the rivers and lakes, and he is inexperienced, and he suddenly seems at a loss when he sees this scene, and he doesn't know what to do.
And the people eating melons on the side were excited.
I thought that the Taoist chief had overtaken the female ghost, and today's "lively" would be over, who would have thought that the good show was still to come, listening to what the ghost said, she threw herself into the well and died not voluntarily, but there was another hidden situation, Tao Jin's words and deeds also confirmed her words......
Hey, interesting.
So a crowd of people shouted in a noisy manner:
"Tao Jin, you make it clear!"
"Liu Xiu, don't worry, the Taoist will definitely give you justice!"
"We're in charge for you. ”
......
This fuss.
Tao Jin cried even louder, tears and snot on his face:
"It's all my fault...... It's all my fault...... I was born deficient and could not have children...... My father and mother secretly sought medical treatment for me, but it was of no avail. ”
"In the first two years, I don't know who leaked the news, and some people in the market speculated that my reputation was bad, and my father and mother were very anxious when they found out, so they came up with an idea......"
"What's the idea?"
Someone asked impatiently.
Tao Jin kept kowtowing, already a little delirious:
"Pretend to marry a wife first, wait for a year or two, and then blame the infertility on the mother...... Finally, I will push the lady into the well, and there will be no proof of death, so that my reputation can be saved. ”
"I also found out after the fact, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Wow!"
Everyone exploded at once.
"That Tao couple is so vicious!"
"Tao Jin didn't know in advance that I didn't believe it, and most of them had already acquiesced. ”
"Report to the officer!"
......
What a farce.
Li Congyan shook his head.
"Let's go. ”
Tao Jin has almost confessed, and as for concealing what he didn't say, he will be handed over to the government for trial. There was nothing left to see, so I beckoned Xiaoyu and went home.
On the way back.
Seeing that he was silent all the way, the little maid was sullen, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle has something on his mind?"
"I'm thinking about the Tao family. ”
"Did my uncle say that evil ghost?"
"Well......" Li Congyan pondered for a long time and said:
"The evil spirit has a terrible form, and when the world sees it, they know to stay away from it. However, wicked people often have a mask of hypocrisy and will always hurt others by surprise. ”
"You say, which is more evil, ghosts or human hearts?"
"Xiao Yu doesn't understand. ”
"Whew. ”
======
Time flies.
A month is fleeting.
During this period, Li Congyan felt that he was living like a salted fish, and his life was as turbulent as flowing water.
Usually, I need to get up early every day, say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then accompany my wife to breakfast. The two old men are devout Buddhists, who do not eat meat and only eat fasting, and generally do not share the same table with the juniors.
After dinner, Zhao Erniang will go to the glass workshop, where there are a bunch of affairs waiting for her.
As soon as she left, Li Xianyu was free, reading, eating snacks, sleeping, and having fun with the maid Xiaoyu...... Idle all day. Speaking of Xiaoyu, now, this girl has become his personal maid by default, and she loves to follow his ass when she has nothing to do.
Occasionally.
He will also be reminded of his identity as a time-traveler.
Recalling the online novels I read in the past, the predecessors who are also traversers are basically very powerful, or open the harem, or worship the marquis, or dominate the world, or live forever...... Life is different, but it's all wonderful.
Why did he become a salted fish when he came to him?
But then I thought about it, it's good to be a salted fish. Without worrying about food and clothing, and without having to work, he has achieved the ultimate ideal of most people.
The only fly in the ointment is that the poison on the body can't be cured, and I don't know how long I can enjoy such a good life.
But.
Half a month earlier, Zhao Erniang brought a red pill, saying that it was from a master, which could curb his strange poison.
In his impression, Taoist priests like to mix and fire various compounds to make pills. It contains heavy metals, which are harmful to the body.
When I sniffed it, there was a smell of sulfur.
"This girl usually looks quite shrewd, why is she still fooled like this?"
Although I thought so in my heart, it was not good to refuse people's kindness in person, so I had to grit my teeth and swallow it in the end. If you want to eat one, it should be fine, didn't you see that the ancient emperor dragged on for several years to die in order to live forever for three days.
Strange to say, after knocking the medicine, the markings on the body were really curbed and no longer spread.
It made him think for a while: "Is there really an elixir in this world?"
......
this day.
Li Xianyu moved a chair as usual and basked in the sun in the yard.
The little maid helped him squeeze his shoulders in the back, expectantly: "What story is my uncle telling today?"
"I'll tell you a story about my brother today. ”
The morning sun is warm, and people are sleepy.
"Uncle and brother!" the little maid said curiously, "Tell me about ......"
"Forget it. ”
"Why?"
"It's too long. ”
The little maid didn't understand the "too long" bad joke of the uncle, but what she thought in her heart was that the uncle always liked to tell half of the story, yesterday it was about a monkey raising horses in the sky, but today it was about a white-bearded old man fishing with a straight hook without bait, and when it came to tomorrow, he talked about the little girl in Lanruo Temple...... Anyway, none of the stories can tell the whole story.
"Yesterday's "Liang Zhu" Uncle only talked about half of it, and Xiaoyu wanted to listen to the back. ”
The teenage girl is in love for the first time, and she loves to listen to these love stories.
"Okay. By the way, where am I?"
"Uncle said...... Liang Shanbo has been a classmate with Zhu Yingtai for three years, but he has not been able to see his daughter. ”
"Later, when Liang Shanbo interrupted his studies and returned to his hometown, he went to Shangyu to visit Zhu Yingtai, only to know that he was actually his daughter, so he wanted to propose to the Zhu family, and at this time Zhu Yingtai had promised to marry Ma Wencai......"
The original story is relatively short, and Li Congyan expanded the plot on his own initiative, portraying Ma Wencai as a heinous villain, so angry that the little girl gritted her silver teeth. When she heard that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both turned into butterflies and flew away from the world, she couldn't help but shed tears and blurred the makeup on her face.
"Don't cry, the story isn't over yet. ”
Uncle Salted Fish said again: "The two butterflies flew for a long time, and then stopped on a tree to rest, who knows, a spider web suddenly fell from the sky and covered them, and then a huge spider hung upside down and hung down, only to see that the spider's abdomen showed a human face, and let out a 'boom' laugh......"
"And then?" the little maid screamed, covering her mouth.
"Later, butterflies naturally became the food in the spider's belly. ”
The tears that the little maid had just been scared back rushed out again.
"Xianggong is playing tricks on the little fish again. ”
Zhao Erniang didn't know when she appeared in the back, she stroked the back of the little maid, and comforted: "When the story reaches Liang Zhuhuadie, it is complete, and the back is clearly nonsense." ”
"Really?"
Xiaoyu stopped her tears, "It's good that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai weren't eaten by spiders." ”
"The lady is back so early today. ”
Li Congyan greeted.
After more than a month of getting along, the two sides got to know each other a lot. His titular wife, as rumored by the outside world, is very smart, has a particularly high emotional intelligence, is a leaky person, and treats people like a spring breeze. On the outside, he looks weak, but on the inside he is very strong, and he is very assertive in everything.
"The king of the east of the city has a seventieth birthday, and after posting, he came back early, ready to go early. ”
Zhao Erniang said, "Do you want to go with Xianggong?"
"I'm not familiar with it, so let's not go. ”
"It's fine. ”
As she spoke, she sighed, "It's a pity that I couldn't find a decent gift......
"It is enough for the lady to take a set of glazed utensils from her own workshop. ”
"Xianggong didn't know that Wang Yuanwai was a talent in the imperial examination in his early years, and he liked to dance and write the most...... As a big customer of the workshop, I thought about buying a celebrity calligraphy and painting as a gift, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. ”
Zhao Erniang explained, "I prepared another set of glass bottles, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get into his eyes." ”
"Miss is talented, it is better to write a birthday poem as a gift. The little maid interjected.
Zhao Erniang shook her head when she heard this: "My daughter's family can only write some articles about moaning without illness, where can I make birthday poems." ”
"How's that okay?"
The little maid is also anxious for her own young lady.
Then.
Uncle Salted Fish suddenly said, "Why don't I try it." ”
The crossing without copying poems is incomplete, and today I finally seized the opportunity to make up for this regret. Besides, the Zhao family treated him well, a little favor, and helped him, but it was just a gesture.
"Huh?"
The two girls looked at him together.
His eyes are full of disbelief, clearly saying that you, a scholar who has not achieved fame, can also write poetry?
......
