In a room separated by two rooms.
Xu Dashu and his wife, who gave pocket money during the day and sent Xu Jiayao to live in the town, were sitting there nervously, showing a reluctantly flattering smile to the master who came, and they heard nothing in Xu Jiao's house. Come, look at each other, and see a bit of fear in each other's eyes.
However, a bald master sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed in front of them was the old god, with his eyes closed, and just when the couple was about to be drowned in the silence, he suddenly said. :
"It's done."
Xu Dashu and Xu's mother almost jumped on the spot because of these words. Xu's mother pinched her fingertips into Xu Dashu's arm. Hearing the words, she confirmed: "Master, are you sure? That little demon girl has been arrested?"
The bald master opened his eyes and stepped on a pair of cloth shoes beside the bed with his bare feet. When he stood up, he saw the expressions of Xu Dashu and his wife, and comforted:
"You two don't have to panic."
"I said back then that she was the reincarnation of the ghost king's wife, and even though she was human, she had the ghost king's yin qi on her body, which would be a disaster. Growing up like a child, I never thought that she would not repent and grow up to what she is today, and even relying on the closeness of ghosts and ghosts, they will unite with ghosts to attack ordinary people..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Dashu and his wife kept nodding their heads in response to his words: "Master is right!"
"Master, can you take her away?"
When the bald master heard this, his eyes turned around in front of them, and after pondering for two seconds, he said slowly: "She is an ordinary person after all, and I can't do anything that kills people..."
While speaking, his hand moved under his wide sleeve, and his thumb and forefinger rubbed slowly, as if to imply something.
Mother Xu first saw this action, and she was more irritable and anxious, she stamped her feet, and said, "Master, you didn't tell us that way back then, we didn't want this child at that time, and wanted to throw her into the mountains to feed the dogs. , This is because you said that raising her is useful, so we tried to bring her up. Why is she going to fight back now, and you still pay us more money? Poor us and the couple, now we are about to be killed by this bad thing Leh, you are actually dying?"
Xu Dashu glanced at the woman beside him from the corner of his eyes, didn't say anything, just paced to the door, raised the smoking gun in his hand and took a big mouthful, although he didn't speak, he didn't speak out against Xu's mother , apparently tacitly acquiesced in her spam.
The bald head wearing the ragged sandals didn't look very friendly. Instead, his face was full of flesh, and his eyes were also slender. When he narrowed his eyes, two deep nasolabial lines appeared.
Mother Xu subconsciously felt a little fear in her heart.
But she did not withdraw. After all, money is the lifeblood of their poor family. She still has a son, has not married a daughter-in-law, and has not yet bought a house. The expenses will be huge in the future. gone
She thought of the first time she met this monk many years ago.
…
The monk thought that the couple didn't know, but Mother Xu remembered very clearly that before Xu Jiao was born, this stinky monk came to the door from nowhere, and couldn't get out of it.
They lied and said that they had made a big deal. At first, Mother Xu didn't believe it, until the monk pointed to her belly and said that the baby was a girl, and she was the wife of the ghost king, and she was so angry that she almost gave birth prematurely.
After finally entering the delivery room, the monk was waiting outside the house. Mother Xu was terrified by what he said, and almost had difficulty giving birth. Fortunately, the matchmaker in the village had experience and helped her a lot during the delivery. As a result, the child was just born. When she came out, Mother Xu was on the verge of exhaustion when she heard the matchmaker say—
"Oh my mother! Why are the eyes of this girl doll all black? Gui Fen! You gave birth to a ghost baby!"
When Mother Xu heard this, her eyes instantly turned black.
The matchmaker was so panicked. At that time, the bloody smell of production in the house had not dissipated. She only felt that her mouth and nose were a little hard to breathe, and said in a hoarse voice: "Throw!
After saying that, she fainted.
When she woke up, the room was filled with the smell of Xu Dashu's smoking. Mother Xu didn't think much of it. She just pulled the corner of the young Xu Dashu's clothes and asked tremblingly, "Child... Is that child lost?"
Xu Dashu gave her a dull look, and seeing that she was anxious to lift the quilt and get out of bed to see what was going on, he quickly pushed her back: "You lie down... this matter, this matter is not urgent."
The more he said this, the more anxious Mother Xu became, and she even raised her hand to beat her stomach, with a cry in her voice: "How can I not be in a hurry? What is my life? Married to your Xu family, I haven't heard a single one for three years. Movement, it's so easy to have it, how can you be a ghost? I've been in bad luck for eight lifetimes, what kind of feng shui is your old Xu family, and I haven't seen my ancestors bless us!"
Xu Dashu heard that even her own ancestors started to scold her, and immediately patted her leg: "What are you talking about! You are not up to your expectations, what are you doing - my ancestors? Good! Don't talk about it! You Hurry up and go to sleep, we will harvest wheat next week!"
After saying that, he plans to leave.
When he reached the door of the room, he didn't know what to think of, but after listening to the footsteps again, he turned his back to Mother Xu and said, "That master... People are really capable. He asked us to keep this girl, and he showed his hand again just now. , Anyway... The baby looks normal now, and will cry, and his eyes are black and white, I picked up the money for the house repair, and you don't have to worry about it. "
Mother Xu listened to him giving out all the money for repairing the house, and immediately looked like she was about to faint, enduring the pain of the cracked wound, she tore her throat and shouted: "Xu Dashu! Are you crazy? It's gone!"
"For a girl... You gave us all the money for building the house?"
"I can still give birth to you without the child! How come you listened to that liar, I think he is just here to cheat money!"
Xu Dashu wore his cloth shoes with holes and smashed it hard on the ground. He knocked his smoking gun on the door frame next to him, and shouted, "Okay! I don't know you yet? Don't you just want a son, I just listened to the master I said, let's keep her and not starve her to death, she can bring more money to our family! And a son!"
Mother Xu was stunned, looked at him with tears and smiles, and only said, "This is a lie? Do you really believe that the master is here to save people? If he is so kind, why would you charge me? You It's just a stubborn eye, how did I fall in love with something like you back then! You are a useless mother, my mother saves food and drink all day long, and saves it before repairing the house, oh... I'm dead... I won't look for you in my next life. No more men!"
Xu Dashu listened to her cry
He dragged his throat and cried on the bed as if mourning. The humming sound was very pitiful, and his worried brows were wrinkled. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said weakly:
"Okay."
"I understand you, but I can't do it..."
He took a heavy puff of cigarette and said to his mother-in-law, "I just heard from the second baby in the next village that A Fen, the one who delivered your baby, was riding a motorcycle back to Dilu Road. Well, at that time, people stuck their heads upside down, and I heard that the rescued one died after death."
He stood at the door, blocking most of the light that fell into the room, and after saying this, he started to smoke again.
Mother Xu on the bed was still a little bit sluggish. She didn't know what to think, and asked in a trembling voice: "People... just disappeared?"
She still remembered that, aside from herself, A Fen was the only one who knew what she had given birth to, so she just glanced at the doll, and the person was gone
Lying in the quilt, Mother Xu broke out in a cold sweat.
She didn't cry anymore, as if she had accepted her tragic fate. At first, she didn't even want to breastfeed the girl, or the neighbor next door who didn't know anything hugged her and breastfed her baby, thinking she She didn't want to see this girl, until the girl grew up, and she found that the situation at home was slowly getting better.
Xu Dashu has never lost money betting with people. When those people were arrested, Xu Dashu was the only one who ran away. Later, he went to the town to buy a lottery ticket and won a prize of 50,000 yuan. After a while, they happened to hear that a distant relative of the Xu family had given birth to triplets, but they couldn't afford it, so they used the money to adopt the child.
Seeing that life was slowly improving, and Xu Jiao had not shown anything strange for so many years, the couple gradually forgot what happened when she was born. Time to call her like a cow.
until one year.
Xu Jiao took Xu Jiayao across the river, but for some reason, Xu Jiayao pushed him into the river.
Xu Jiayao was the only one who came home that day. At first, the couple didn’t think much about it. When they didn’t see Xu Jiao coming back in the evening, Xu’s mother complained at the dining table, “This dead girl has hard wings, don’t you want to come back? Wait? Seeing her tomorrow, the old lady will beat her to death with a stick, and see if she dares to be lazy, dare to let my family Yao come back by herself today."
Xu Jiayao was timid at that time. Halfway through the meal, he didn't move his chopsticks very much. His face was full of tension. Under the pressure of Xu's mother, he said that in the afternoon, his sister refused to buy him candy, and he pushed her into the village entrance. into the river.
The entire log dining table was shrouded in silence.
Xu Dashu jumped up first, as if he wanted to go outside, but when he was halfway through, he turned back and said to Xu's mother, "I can't blame us..."
Mother Xu understood his words for no reason, touched the head of Xu Jiayao, who was a little flustered, and only said, "Okay, Mom doesn't blame you, eat more food, your sister knows water and will come back."
Only she herself knew how fake this was, because Xu Jiao had never been in the water.
result…
She was sleeping soundly on the bed that night, when she suddenly felt a coldness, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water into the bedding. Cursing her out loud, Mother Xu pulled out the lamp to take a look.
Xu Jiao, whose hands and feet were entangled in water plants, was lying on the bed of the two of them with her eyes closed.
Clothes and hair were damp, and the bedding of the couple was all wet.
The Xu family looked at each other and thought that Xu Jiao was dead and came to ask for their lives, but unexpectedly, the man woke up in bed, and was so frightened that he quickly climbed down and apologized to them. The trembling voice asked her how she came back, and Xu Jiao said that she came back by herself, but it was too late to see the wrong way to the house.
later.
The two of them found that Xu Jiao started talking to the air. Sometimes when she was washing the dishes, she would suddenly turn her head to look at the kitchen window and whisper, "Why are you here? I can't invite you to my house, my parents will be angry!"
Sometimes, when Xu Jiao feeds chickens in the yard, she will drive away the outside of the yard, "I'll find you when I'm not doing any work!"
Mother Xu bumped into her self-talking appearance once, and immediately thought of the death of people in the river a few years ago. I heard that many babies go swimming in the river in summer, but they never see a few. After a long time, the corpse floated up and was seen.
Thinking of Xu Jiao disappearing all afternoon and suddenly appearing in their room at night...
It was as if something was helping Xu Jiao.
Mother Xu was frightened and frightened, she beat Xu Jiao hard, and locked her in the kitchen. She was not allowed to say such things. She was locked up for too long that time, and her body was not very good because she fell into the water. , burnt in the kitchen for a long time.
Mother Xu was afraid that she would come back to find the couple after she died, so she reluctantly found a barefoot doctor in the village to see her, but she was hanged for two days. talking things.
But.
Since that time, the good feng shui that gathered in the house has dissipated.
Xu Dashu originally had some money on hand, so he went out with the villagers to do business together, but he lost everything. Later, I heard that someone took a fancy to the hilltop of their house and wanted to wrap it up and plant fruit trees. Xu Dashu people have already found them. , the miscellaneous grass on the mountain has also been removed, the trees have also been cut down, and the contracted person has not come, leaving him really empty.
The Xu family returned to the way they used to be. From then on, Mother Xu confirmed that the master must have had a plan and refused to help their family if they took the things that belonged to him. The two couples beat Xu Jiao more and more. , and hated her uselessness more and more.
…
in front of you.
Hearing Mother Xu's words, the bald master sneered and said bluntly: "You can't say that, when I wanted to take her away, it was your husband who didn't agree, so I took away the ghost king's yin qi from her and changed you guys. The feng shui of the family will ensure that your Xu family makes a fortune-"
"Then it was you who didn't take good care of her and made her fall for a ghost in the river who had been cultivated for decades. If I didn't happen to come here a few months ago and found out about this, I would have directly linked her to that ghost. Marriage, your family has been swept away by the water ghost who has accumulated grievances for a long time, how can you still live to this day?"
"It's so easy for me to take money to do things now, how come it's in your mouth that it's a poor man stealing people's money and killing people's lives?"
Mother Xu felt a little guilty.
She remembered the midwife who died inexplicably after delivering her birth. Now, seeing the master's unkind gaze, Mother Xu knew that the person in front of her was not simple.
The big tree said from the side:
"Okay!"
"Master is willing to help us, that is the virtue we have accumulated for eight lifetimes, you ignorant blind woman, go out and pour tea for the master!"
Mother Xu turned her head and glared at him, but she didn't stay in this room any longer. That's the way people communicate with each other. She was scared of being stunned, and she was afraid of dying. She cherished her life and didn't want to be with the midwife. die just as strangely.
Xu Dashu put the smoking gun down to his side, gave the bald master a naive smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Master, now that the person has been brought down, put it in a coffin and sent it to the river, what should we do next?"
The bald-headed master saw that his attitude was not bad, and his complexion looked a little better. Thinking of his own plan, he pondered for a few seconds before saying: "The water ghost will definitely not be able to touch the person who has already left the mark on the ghost king, this yin marriage, this water ghost Will die, and the ghost king will be provoked—"
"I am here to save the common people. Whether it is a water ghost or a ghost king, I will take it away for you."
"Do not worry."
When Xu Dashu heard this, he just nodded and bowed his head and flattered him, only a little bit of light flashed in his eyes.
In front of this master...
It's not like he wants to get rid of ghosts, but he wants to capture the ghost king.
But he didn't dare to express his speculation, he just put on his hands and got confused, and then waited for Mother Xu to come in with tea and drink with the master.
Neither of them noticed that when they were talking, there was a thick shadow in the corner of the wall. After the conversation stopped, the shadow slowly dissipated like ink stains, and finally disappeared in the corner of the wall.
The bald master vaguely noticed something, and looked over there, but found nothing.
…
riverside.
With the help of Zheng Zhiyu, Xu Jiao opened the lid of the coffin and took a deep breath. When she realized that the wind blowing on her body was a little cold, she backhandedly grabbed Zheng who was under her cushion. Zhi Yu's wrist asked in a light voice:
"What's wrong?"
After the shadow returned to herself, Zheng Zhiyu took a look at the context of the matter, and a cool breath fell on the back of her neck. She didn't want Xu Jiao to know the bad things about the family, she just said with a smile:
"fine."
"I just think that oi seems quite exciting here."
Xu Jiao: "…"
She didn't want to pay attention to this guy with a problem in his mind, and wanted to open the coffin board with both hands and feet, but Zheng Zhiyu, who knew what was going on outside, was reluctant to let something with only a few decades of cultivation rob her and hold it directly. He grabbed Xu Jiao's wrist and restrained her from behind.
Xu Jiao ordered her in a low voice, "Let go."
Zheng Zhiyu said slowly: "A row of red candles is lit outside, and there is an old ghost who has been dead for decades waiting for you to marry him. Are you sure you want me to let go? Or, would you rather marry him? Is it better to give to a bad old man than to face me?"
Xu Jiao frowned, not understanding the meaning of Zheng Zhiyu's words, but from the increasingly clammy air blowing into the coffin board, she could tell that the other party might not have lied much. She remained silent for a while, then said:
"release."
She said, "It hurts when you pinch me."
Zheng Zhiyu's first reaction was that he didn't control his strength, his fingertips loosened and moved a little, but the next moment, he used this extraordinary force.
His eyesight saw the marks on Xu Jiao's wrist in the dark.
Thin, like bruises bound by some thin vines, it spread along the bones of her wrist, all the way to the forearm.
Zheng Zhiyu's eyes were slightly cold, and she touched the traces on Xu Jiao's wrist, trying to make her feel better, but Xu Jiao suddenly shook off her movement, her wrist hurt as if it had been scalded by a tongue of flame, her tone With a bit of annoyance, he said:
"What are you doing?"
"I said it hurts."
Zheng Zhiyu knew that this was the mark that the water ghost left her, and the mark would spread from Xu Jiao's wrist, from the wrist, forearm, arm, to the shoulder, and finally to the heart. Die in pain.
When she dies, the water ghost guarding the river will occupy her soul and make her his ghost bride.
There are two solutions, one is to destroy the water ghost, the initiator disappears, and the mark will naturally disappear, the other is to remove the mark from Xu Jiao's body.
Zheng Zhiyu originally wanted to choose the former, but the things in the river were very cunning. She sensed her danger and hid in the river and never came out. 's life.
If she had time to spare, Zheng Zhiyu would not mind rushing into the river to fight it and subduing it in its chassis, but Xu Jiao's state would definitely not wait until then, she silently gritted her teeth, her cold voice carried sullen:
"Anything, people who dare to snatch me."
At this time, Xu Jiao already understood that the pain just now was not caused by Zheng Zhiyu, because the feeling that the bones were being restrained had spread to her forearm. She wanted to say something to Zheng Zhiyu, but her consciousness was a little blurry, as if she had fallen into a trap. In the predicament of what is woven, nothing can break through the fog in front of him.
A gentle male voice whispered in her ear:
"Forgot me?"
"Didn't you promise me that you will marry me when you grow up?"
"How could you forget me? You are my wife."
Xu Jiao asked instinctively, "Who are you?"
Hearing her voice, Zheng Zhiyu knew that the action was imminent. She pressed Xu Jiao's shoulders, passed through her body, and placed her on top of her, with her forehead pressed against hers, and asked in a low voice:
"You don't want to marry him, do you, Jiaojiao?"
Xu Jiao recognized her voice and said with difficulty, "Well..."
Zheng Zhiyu seemed to be a little pleased by her "en", and said to her a little: "Relax, it may be a little cold, I will help you remove the bad mark he left, okay?"
Xu Jiao was grabbed by the pain, and somehow came up with an answer: "Hurry up."
It seems a little impatient.
Zheng Zhiyu kissed her forehead, and then tried to live on her body for the first time, which is often referred to as the "ghost upper body". Her Yin Qi was heavy, and Xu Jiao might be very uncomfortable afterwards, but it was better than ever. Lose your life now.
Only after entering Xu Jiao's body—
Zheng Zhiyu suddenly realized that two souls in one body need to fight for the initiative. She and Xu Jiao's souls collided, and for a while, she heard a somewhat unbearable humming from Xu Jiao's throat. :
"Well… "
Zheng Zhiyu temporarily took the initiative, and quickly found a wrist
After she tapped the water plant seeds left in her flesh and pulled out the water plants, she heard the humming sound, thinking of the thing peeping outside, and suddenly had a bold idea.
…
Xu Jiao originally gave up the initiative, but she didn't expect that Zheng Zhiyu seemed to dislike being too crowded, and she kept touching herself with a cold breath. The touch of the soul is different from the skin. It is a more intimate and more human touch. Unbearable collision.
It seemed that the whole body had become a forbidden area that could not be touched. The other party just came over to touch her gently, and the place where they touched would be cold and numb, and the body would be cold and hot.
She is like a little person trying to hide in the corner when she hides a cat, but this body is only so big, Zheng Zhiyu will always find her and want to cover her completely with her soul, Xu Jiao Hear your own faint protest:
"Go away..."
"Don't touch..."
Zheng Zhiyu didn't let her hide, just coaxed her gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm just hugging you."
Xu Jiao now feels that the danger has been resolved, and she doesn't want to be deceived by her words. She wants to push this rogue away, but it has become a delicacy delivered to her door. Surround her with murmuring, don't let her go anywhere in the circle, let her spread out arbitrarily, and don't let her curl up into a ball because of too much stimulation.
She could only shiver shiveringly.
At first, Zheng Zhiyu was just like a cold raindrop. The tickling raindrops fell randomly without warning, and jumped in random corners. Later, the rain became heavier and heavier. Melting with her, the breath is full of that cold smell, as if being assimilated.
Xu Jiao felt that she was on the verge of melting, like ice cream that had been scorched by the scorching sun in summer, but her body was obviously cold.
Physiological tears instinctively flowed down the corners of his eyes.
The beautiful girl lying in the coffin shrank into a ball, her face was flushed, and wet water marks kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
And the occasional whimpering voice: "Don't... don't..."
But after a while, there was a smile in the crying voice, as if talking to himself, to coax the previous voice: "Dear, you kiss me, I will stop, how about it?"
The answer was soft and choked: "No, no... please..."
The state of the soul, how can it be intimate
Xu Jiao was embarrassed, angry and annoyed, but she was quickly dominated by this unprecedented shock, and her whole soul was even more dazed than before.
…
riverside.
The black-haired man popped his head out of the water and stared at the coffin surrounded by red candles not far away. After a long time, gurgling blisters appeared in the river.
Every blister is an angry swear word.
