Volume 2 The Human World Chapter 27: South of the City
Following.
The heavy rain has stopped, the sun is out, the warm sun is shining on the earth, and the air is filled with the fragrance of the earth after the rain. There are also raindrops hanging from the willow trees on the side of the street, and the transparent raindrops become colorful in the sunlight.
The vendors came early, swept the stagnant water with brooms, set up the tables and chairs, and took out the goods they were selling one by one, and the familiar shouts were heard again.
The shops on the street were also opened, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and before noon, the street became bustling with people.
"Oh, two masters, did you sleep well last night?" Yang Jian and Sun Wukong went downstairs, and the shopkeeper ran over and asked with a smile.
"Hmm. Yang Jian nodded, sat down at a table, and said, "Stir-fry a few side dishes, and then have a pot of aromatic liquor." ”
"Come on! right away. ”
"Is the Great Sage better?" Yang Jian asked Sun Wukong.
"It's no big deal, I think that the old grandson was practiced by the old man's gossip furnace for 7749 days, and it's okay, such a small injury is not worth mentioning!" Sun Wukong waved his hand.
"Haha!" Yang Jian smiled, and then said: "This rain is really not timely, but today the sky is clear, the weather is very good, why don't you and I go to the street to play around, this world is not as lively as the sky!"
"My grandson remembers that when he learned the scriptures, from the Tang Dynasty in the East to Tianzhu, there was no place on the road as lively as this capital. Sun Wukong said.
Before you know it, the dish has come up.
A few steaming side dishes, accompanied by a pot of sweet wine, have a unique flavor.
"Eh, have you heard? Yesterday there was another accident at the old Wang's house in the south of the city. At this time, two middle-aged men at the next table were talking quietly, and one of them said.
"Oh, what's going on?" asked another.
"Last night, I got up to relax, and suddenly I heard movement outside, I walked to the door, and looked through the crack in the door, hey, guess what?" said this, the man took a sip of wine.
"I don't know that, you're going to say it quickly!" the other was a little anxious.
"The daughter-in-law of the old Wang family next door is wearing a red dress, carrying a red lantern, her face is pale, her eyes are closed, and she is walking slowly and leisurely on the empty street, this is not counted, do you know what is the most terrible?" Speaking of this, the man shook the wine jug and found that there was no wine, so he beckoned Xiao Er'er and said, "Wine!"
"Don't be sluggish, speak quickly!" the other urged.
"The most terrifying thing is that her feet are three feet off the ground, in other words, she is not walking at all, but floating. ”
The temperature around seems to have dropped quite a bit.
It took a full minute for the other man to react and say with some trembling, "This ............ Don't scare me!"
"What am I scaring you for? In my opinion, this old Wang's daughter-in-law has been ghosted. Then the wine came, and the man poured a bowl of wine and drank it all.
"What a ghost, I see, eighty percent of her is a ghost. The other man lowered his voice.
"Don't say it, do you know how Lao Wang's son died?"
"It is said that he has tuberculosis. ”
"Not really, I'll tell you............" At this, the man looked around and lowered his voice again, and at this time, the conversation between the two was like a whisper.
"Lao Wang's son died on his wedding night. ”
"Huh? Don't talk nonsense. The other man's eyes widened.
"This is what Lao Wang himself said. ”
"How?"
"One day, I went out for a drink with Lao Wang, and after three rounds of drinking, he said this to me. The man took another sip of wine.
"In this way, could it be that Lao Wang's son was given ............ by his ghost daughter-in-law" Speaking of this, the two men tacitly did not say any more, and after a while, after the two finished eating, they hurriedly checked out and left.
The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, Yang Jian poured a glass of wine and asked Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, what do you think of this matter?"
"It seems that there is a demon at work!Erlang Zhenjun, why don't we go and investigate, how about it?" asked Sun Wukong.
"Anyway, if there is really a demon at work, you and I will destroy this monster, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Yang Jian said.
After being full of wine and food, Xiao Er'er ran over with a smile: "Second master, does the food meet your appetite?"
"Little Er'er, I want to ask you about something, do you know where the old Wang's family is in the south of the city?" asked Yang Jian.
"Lao Wang?" Xiao Er's eyes rolled and asked, "Which Lao Wang?"
Yang Jian took out a silver ingot and slapped it on the table: "The haunted one!"
"Oops!" Xiao Er'er quickly picked up the silver and said, "You are the right person, that old Wang's family is in the southern suburbs of the city, several miles away, if you go now, you can get there in about an hour." But what are you doing at his house, I heard that his house is haunted!"
"You don't have to worry about this, how do you go to his house?" Yang Jian asked.
Out of the inn, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong found that the Qinglou in front of them was surrounded by water.
"What's going on up ahead?" "I don't know! Let's go, let's take a look!"
Yang Jian and Sun Wukong also surrounded them.
I saw that the old bustard in the Qinglou was dragging a monk's clothes to death, and his mouth was still chattering: "You bald, you don't abide by the rules, you come to my place to play for a night, and only give one or two pieces of silver, you send it to ask for food!"
"You mother-in-law is very annoying, in a place like yours, Lao Tzu will give more if he is happy, and less if he is unhappy, what can you do!" The monk was impatient and wanted to get rid of the bustard, but the bustard dragged too tightly.
"I don't care, if you don't give enough ten taels of silver today, don't think about leaving!" The old bustard simply played a scoundrel and hugged the monk's thigh.
"How can there be a monk who calls himself Lao Tzu, this monk doesn't look like a good person at first glance!" "That's it, what kind of body does a monk pull and pull!" "This old bustard is too, he is so old, and he actually does such a shameful thing." The onlookers began to talk.
As if he hadn't heard, the monk became impatient, took a silver ingot, and threw it on the ground.
When the bustard saw the silver, he saw the bones like a dog, and his eyes lit up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the monk ran away.
"This kind of scum is simply a shame for Buddhism!" Sun Wukong was in a hurry, directly took out the golden hoop stick, and said angrily: "Today, Lao Sun will definitely give him some color to see." ”
"Great Sage!" Yang Jian grabbed Sun Wukong and said, "This is not appropriate, look at me!"
With that, Yang Jian pointed lightly at the monk's thigh.
"Oops!" I saw that the monk's feet were empty and he fell down the stairs.
By the time he stood up, his face was blue and purple, and one of his front teeth had been missing.
"What a bad luck!" the monk scolded and walked away.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sun Wukong looked at the monk's disgraced face, and he was overjoyed.
"Alright Great Sage, it's time for us to go!"
"Let's go! Lao Sun likes to catch ghosts the most!"
With that, the two turned into a golden light and disappeared in an instant.
"Boom!"
The sky that had been cloudless just now was now raining lightly............
