Volume 1 The Light of Assets Chapter 57 There is a ghost in my heart
The woman's voice became clearer and clearer, with a crying tone, and her voice was extremely miserable.
Anyone who listens to it in the middle of the night will feel a tingling in the scalp. The guests of the inn were also woken up, except for those who slept like dead pigs. They all hid in the house, and no one dared to come out.
Lin Zhanqing and the three were the first to notice the abnormality, Lin Zhanqing and Dongfang Wan are the best of the younger generation, and they have tasks at the same time. It can be said that as long as there is a little wind and grass around, it can't hide from their ears and eyes.
Shen Rou was a little scared at this time and curled up in the corner of the bed. Looking at Dongfang Wan said:
"Sister Dongfang, is this voice a female ghost or?"
Dongfang Wan's expression was as usual, but she was no longer cold. Leaning on Shen Rou, he said softly:
"My sister is here, my sister is not afraid. It doesn't matter if he's a female ghost or what, if he doesn't obey, he'll be slashed with a sword. Let Lin Zhanqing behead, so as not to dirty our sisters' hands. ”
Shen Rou was amused by Dongfang Wan's words, and was not so afraid.
There was a gentle, gentle knock outside the door, and although the knock was soft, Shen Rou was still startled. Dongfang Wan patted Shen Rou's shoulder and said:
"Sister, don't worry, it's Senior Brother Lin. ”
Dongfang Wan got out of bed and leaned against the door of the house. didn't open the door, and directly ordered softly:
"Senior Brother Lin guards it well, don't bother our sisters if it's okay. ”
After Dongfang Wan said this, she went back to the bed, and really didn't care.
The woman's voice became clearer and clearer, and the content of the voice made people shudder to listen to it.
"I'm so pathetic. The whole world is full of bad people who want to hurt me, my men who want to hurt me, and my children who want to hurt me. All my relatives will harm me. If it weren't for the kind people on the street who asked for food to save my life, I wouldn't have survived. ”
The shopkeeper of the Liantian Inn was also quarreled by this voice, and he didn't bother to go out to see it.
The shopkeeper didn't look scared at all, as if he had already gotten used to it.
The man who made the miserable voice had his hair scattered and his clothes in tatters. I can vaguely tell that it is a woman, probably in her thirties.
The shopkeeper went out and first said "sigh". Then he took a piece of candy out of his trouser pocket, went to the woman with a cloak, and said:
"Widow Jiao, it's already dark. Why are you running around again? Come, I've got a piece of candy here. Take it home and give it to your child. ”
"Hey, hey, little brother, it's still your best. It's not like the people in my family, who all want to kill me. ”
"Widow Jiao, go back quickly. If you don't go back, your family will hurt you. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, or the little brother is right, I'll go back first. ”
The scorched widow jumped up and walked in one direction.
The little brother saw that Widow Jiao had left honestly, and went back to the inn to sleep again.
Anyone who encounters such a woman with a disheveled hair in the middle of the night will think that she has met a ghost and will be scared half to death.
But the shopkeeper was not afraid at all, and he didn't even have any impact.
In fact, the people who live in this Caitian Town all the year round are no strangers to Widow Jiao. When Widow Jiao was young, she looked good, and the person who proposed marriage could be regarded as stepping on the threshold. Widow Jiao picked left and right, and chose the son of Dr. Wang, who had opened a medical clinic in Caitian Town for generations, as her husband.
When the young couple first got married, except for Widow Jiao, who often lost her temper and played with her personality. It's a good day, it's really enviable. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and I don't know why, the two elders died of illness one after another.
It happened that Widow Jiao had just become pregnant again, and the life of the young couple immediately became tight. finally scraped together some silver and buried the old people on both sides.
After a few successions, it has become difficult to even get by. Widow Jiao, her man can only keep selling her property, and finally survive until the child is born safely.
Since the death of both parents, Widow Jiao has been crying and crying every day, complaining that her man is a broom star and has killed her parents to death. scolds and scolds every day, either that her man is incompetent, or that she has been following her man for eight lifetimes.
The man of the Jiao Widow was originally cheerful, and he didn't smile or talk when he saw people. was more and more depressed by the scorched widow.
Later, I became obsessed with drinking, and I was drunk every day, and I didn't care much about my children. But even so, it didn't delay practicing medicine and making money to support his family.
Even in order to subsidize his family, he took the risk of picking medicine and selling it for money in the mountains near Caitian Town. Every time you go into the mountains to collect medicine, it is full of dangers, and the harvest is naturally quite a lot.
But Widow Jiao has never been satisfied, and still complains that men are incompetent, and she has poured blood mold for eight lifetimes. The family of three lived together until one day. The man went into the mountain to collect medicine, but one of them did not step on it steadily, and unfortunately fell down the mountain.
When Widow Jiao heard the news that her man had fallen to his death, the whole person went completely crazy. kept chattering, and everyone in the family was a little ghost who harmed her. In a trance, he picked up the child who was waiting to be fed and threw it on the ground, pitying the child who was only a few months old. It's terrible.
Widow Jiao has become famous in Caitian Town since then, and Widow Jiao will say that the people in her family are all life-seeking ghosts who want to kill her, but everyone outside the family is a good person, a great bodhisattva.
The people of Caitian Town didn't hurt Widow Jiao, although they still avoided her, but they were slowly not afraid of her.
As soon as the shopkeeper returned to the inn, Lin Zhanqing stepped forward to ask the shopkeeper about the situation of the widow.
Lin Zhanqing will not completely let his guard down. But I don't have much heart. Walking the rivers and lakes all year round, I have seen a lot of all kinds of strange and helpless things, so I don't think it's strange.
Lin Zhanqing went back to the second floor where their room was located, knocked lightly on the door of Dongfang Wan and Shen Rou, and said:
"It's a local crazy woman, and it has nothing to do with us. Let's all sleep. ”
Lin Zhanqing didn't wait for a reply, and went back to the room directly.
Less than half an hour after the innkeepers fell asleep again, the miserable cry of the scorching widow rang out again.
"I'm so miserable. Father, mother, husband, child, stay away from me, don't think about killing me. ”
As soon as Widow Jiao's cry sounded, the shopkeeper went out of the inn directly and said to Widow Jiao:
"Just now your husband and children were drinking tea with me, you hurry up, run late, wait for them to come out, and eat you alive. ”
The scorched widow screamed in fright,
"Little brother, you are really a good person, even if I go to the underworld, I will not forget your great kindness. ”
After Widow Jiao finished speaking, she immediately ran away.
But just half an hour later, Widow Jiao came to cry again. At this time, the shopkeeper was completely unhappy, and went out of the inn directly and shouted:
"Widow Jiao, your men and children want me to escort you to meet them, are you going or not? ”
Widow Jiao was so frightened by this sentence that she jumped up on the ground. Then he ran away like crazy, shouting as he ran,
"Suffered a thousand knives, it wasn't me who urged you to collect medicine back then, causing you to fall down the mountain and die. Gadgets, you, you didn't fall to your death. It was your father's ghost that possessed me and killed you. If you want to ask for your life, go to your father. ”
As soon as Widow Jiao walked with her front foot, Lin Zhanqing followed with her back foot. After taking a closer look around the inn, he went back to the inn and knocked on Dongfang Wanshenrou's door. I didn't care about the difference between men and women, so I closed the door and whispered:
"Someone is staring at us. ”
Dongfang Wan looked as usual, as if she didn't care at all, and asked:
"How did the junior brother see it?"
Lin Zhanqing replied in a low voice:
"On the third street east of the inn, there are three pairs of footprints that are obviously different from ordinary people. ”
Dongfang Wan still looked as usual, and said:
"Exactly?"
Lin Zhanqing Road:
"These three pairs of footprints are very light, and they are very neat. ”
Dongfang Wan finally looked a little serious and asked:
"How's the martial arts?"
"In the eyes of the Jianghu people, he is a master. ”
As soon as Dongfang Wan heard that she was a master in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, she immediately regained her usual cold look and became completely indifferent. I laid out the quilt and lay down on the bed.
And when Shen Rou heard that a master was following, she was so frightened that she lost her face. His body trembled slightly, and he asked in a weak voice:
"The master of the rivers and lakes, I heard that you can easily take people's lives in the blink of an eye. You are only about the same age as me, so if you can't run for your life, don't worry about me. ”
Dongfang Wan patted Shen Rou's shoulder and said:
"The younger sister of the Shen family is just a master of the Jianghu people. If you come, you will die in vain. Dozens of people are not enough for Senior Brother Lin to have a pastime alone. Don't think about it, it's not early, and you have to hurry tomorrow. ”
After Dongfang Wan comforted Shen Rou, she lay on the bed, tilted her head, and glared at Lin Zhanqing and said:
"What are you doing here, don't go out yet!"
Lin Zhanqing was so frightened by this sound that he immediately turned his head and went back to his room.
Shen Rou was still muttering to herself:
"Dozens of masters in the rivers and lakes are not enough for Brother Lin's own pastime......"
On the eastern outskirts of Caitian Town, a dilapidated land temple.
The scorched widow was inside, lying motionless on the ground. Next to Widow Jiao sat three men in their thirties.
One had a black face, one was thin, and another had a scar on his face. It spreads from the corner of the left mouth to the sideburns, and although it is only a large white mark now, it is also very scary.
The scarface spoke:
"Half a bag is distracted, keep it tomorrow when the crazy woman wakes up, and she doesn't even recognize herself. Our brother is aggrieved this time, and even a crazy woman has to be merciful. ”
Thin Men Say:
"Third child, bear with me. If this crazy woman dies, we will be exposed immediately. ”
The thin man said again:
"It is said that more than 200 people took the order this time, asking for the life of Shen Rou, the twelfth lady of the Suguan Shen family. Since our brothers found Shen Rou first, let's plan well. ”
Scar Man Says:
"Second brother, there are more than two hundred people who took over and killed Shen Rou's list. There are more than 300 people who take over and protect Shen Rou's list. Can Su Guan Shen's family be vegetarians? Don't say it, the two people who followed Shen Rou were by no means easy to mess with. ”
Thin Men Say:
"The two people next to Shen Rou walked during the day, and the state of that kid who surveyed at night. It must be the elite of a famous faction, I dare not say how good the martial arts are, our brothers are not enough to see. ”
At this time, the black-faced man who had not spoken all this time finally spoke,
"Second, third, calm down, don't worry. Let's stay away from Shen Rou first. When the people are almost here, we fish in troubled waters and act on the opportunity. ”
The thin man and the scar man replied in unison:
"Listen to Big Brother!"
