Chapter 100: Widow Liu's House
Zhang Erlang was sleeping soundly with his mother-in-law and son in his arms, when he suddenly woke up with a sharp knock on the door. The mother-in-law also woke up, hugged her two sons tightly, and looked at Zhang Erlang.
The doors and windows were closed, the room was dark, Zhang Erlang could only see an outline of his mother-in-law, but his mother-in-law's trembling body could be clearly felt, and he knew that his mother-in-law was very afraid now.
Come to think of it, so many people have died here, and at night, it is cold and quiet, quieter than the curfew, like a ghost street, and there is no popularity at all. Not only that, but there are also rumors of hauntings from time to time. In such a situation, suddenly someone knocks on your door without knowing what it is, and asks you if you are afraid.
Not only the mother-in-law is afraid, but Zhang Erlang is also afraid. If they could, their family would have moved a long time ago, but the problem was that they had no money, no ability, and could only barely live.
Zhang Erlang patted his mother-in-law on the shoulder, sat up, and was grabbed by his mother-in-law's hand and shook his head at him. Zhang Erlang broke free from his mother-in-law's hand, stepped on straw sandals, and bent down to pick up the axe in the corner. Then, leaning over to the door, I looked out through the crack in the door. At a glance, I saw a large hat, and the face under the hat was covered by the shadow cast by the brim of the hat, and it was not clear to see. Suddenly, he felt that there was a ghost in the guy outside. What made him even more frightened was that the guy outside also had a long knife on him, which was not easy to mess with at first glance.
He took two steps back, plucked up the courage to shout out the door, "Who, in the middle of the night, knocking on ghosts!"
The tone was very arrogant, arrogant with impatience, and he wanted to tell the outside world that he was not easy to mess with.
"Heavenly Master's Mansion, I have something to ask you. A thick and hoarse male voice came in from outside, making Zhang Erlang a little flustered. Obediently, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has come to the door, there is a big problem!
Some stammered and shouted outside, "I... Why should I believe you?"
"You don't have to trust me, and you don't have to open the door. The ghost cried, "Just answer my question." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Erlang calmed down a bit: "You say, what's the problem?"
"Do you have any children?"
"Yes, you can't beat my child's idea, otherwise I'll fight with you!" As he spoke, Zhang Erlang tightened his axe and made up his mind, if the other party really wanted to beat his child's idea, he would have an axe wheel out. Zhang Erlang is young and vigorous, and he can split a head-sized log in half with an axe. If you are ruthless, it is definitely not a problem to kill individuals.
"Have you lost your child?"
"Child?" Zhang Erlang's heart was raised, and he turned his head and said to his mother-in-law: "Baby, mother, has our son been lost?" ”
My mother-in-law fumbled for a while, and whispered: "The big and the small are all here." ”
Zhang Erlang shouted outside: "I didn't lose it." ”
There was silence outside, and then the voice came in again: "I have a boy here, only a few months old, you know who has it nearby." ”
Zhang Erlang was slightly stunned, he didn't know this, anyway, as far as he knew, there was no one he knew who had such a young boy, but there was a girl, and the friend who often worked with him was still angry recently, saying that his mother-in-law gave birth to a money-losing goods.
"Boss, I know. Suddenly, her mother-in-law whispered to Zhang Erlang: "Widow Liu has a boy in her family, who is only four months old. ”
Zhang Erlang was stunned for a moment: "Which widow Liu?"
Lately, there have been a lot of widows on this street.
"The man in her family was a slender man, the one who was killed by the robbers. Widow Liu and I have helped others wash their clothes before, and we have seen her children, and we are two families up from our house. ”
This time, Zhang Erlang had the impression: "It's their family!"
So, he said loudly to the outside: "Your Excellency outside, you go up to the two and ask!"
"Well, good. Recently, the night has not been peaceful, and if you can not go out at night, you will not go out, remember to close the doors and windows, and take care of your children. ”
A reminder was left, and then the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the footsteps outside faded away.
Zhang Erlang muttered a little, shivering all over, and then he realized that he was still shirtless, and he was really a little cold. He hurriedly got back into the quilt and hugged his mother-in-law, feeling much warmer.
The mother-in-law's voice sounded in her ears: "Who is that person outside?"
"The Heavenly Master's Mansion is wearing a big hat, and he can't see his appearance clearly, and the ghost knows if it's true. ”
The mother-in-law suddenly asked, "Ah, did he still have a long knife and a big black horse by his side?" ”
"How do you know?"
"I've met it several times, it looks fierce, but the behavior is very kind, and every time I meet you, you're not at home, and I just missed it. It is said that he has the ability to catch several youkai. ”
"Ah, that's the one you said not long ago. ”
"Hmm. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Erlang yawned loudly: "Sleepy, sleep!"
Outside the door, the ghost cried to the door of Widow Liu's house. Then, start knocking on the door.
After knocking for a long time, the door didn't open, and there was no movement inside, and the ghost cried and frowned. It may be that the other party slept too soundly and didn't hear it, but it is more likely that there was an accident.
The ghost cried back, put the sleeping baby boy in the saddle, and lifted the knife, stabbing it at the crack in the door. There was a soft thud, and the latch snapped.
There was no bell, and the ghost cried and did not feel danger, so he turned back and put the knife in its scabbard, hung it in the saddle, and carried the baby boy into the house.
Inside, it was pitch black. Ghost Cry took out the fire fold, and a little flickering fire appeared, and through this light of fire, Ghost Cry saw a woman lying on the bed, and the quilt was lifted aside. He stepped forward and pushed, but the man was not awake, still asleep, exactly like the baby boy in his arms. It seems that he should have been stunned.
Ghost Cry took out the antidote pill and stuffed it into the woman's mouth, and then, as soon as she pressed the acupuncture points on her body, she jumped up. Then, seeing the ghost crying, he screamed.
In the old days, enthusiastic neighbors with axes and brooms rushed to the door and blocked the place tightly. But now, the doors and windows outside are closed, and even if the neighbors around hear the screams and are awakened, they wrap themselves in the quilt one by one and refuse to show their heads.
That catastrophe brought not only death, but also the destruction of people's hearts.
"Alright, alright. The ghost cried and plucked out his ears: "I am from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you can remember it well, what you saw before you fainted." ”
After screaming for a while, the woman finally reacted, began to recall the memories before she fainted, and then said in a panic, "Mouse, what a big mouse, it pushed open the window and came in." Child, it took my child. ”
Ghost Cry handed the sleeping baby boy to her, and the woman snatched it up, and when she saw the appearance of the baby boy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was really quiet.
The ghost cried: "That's not a mouse, it's Wong Tai Sin, when did you provoke it." ”
"Yes, yes, it's Wong Tai Sin, and he also told me that he was Wong Tai Sin. ”
Wong Tai Sin, that is, the weasel, this is the general name of the weasel after the essence of the people in this world, under normal circumstances, these Wong Tai Sin haunt the remote countryside, appear in the city, and can grow to such a big one, it is indeed rare.
