"What? Is the hidden mirror ghost real?"
"Of course, otherwise how could my two sons die!"
Facing Cai Quan's affirmative tone, Zhen Zhen couldn't help turning blue.
No matter how terrifying the legends are, they are only illusory stories that have nothing to do with reality and are not worth fearing. However, when the ethereal legend overlaps with reality, it will inevitably make people feel creepy.
However, while I was surprised at the overlap between legend and reality, I was even more surprised by Cai Quan's attitude. Judging from the emotions revealed in his language, the three daughters seemed to have no value in his eyes, and even if they died, it would not be a pity. Although he seemed extremely saddened by the death of his two sons, I felt that such sadness was tantamount to the sadness of the loss of property.
In his eyes, children are nothing more than an important property, a glory for inheriting the lineage, and a tool for old age and death.
I really don't want to communicate with him any more about his kind of thinking who is still in the feudal society, so I cut to the point and asked him who the person who saw the ghost with his own eyes was.
"It was Wu Wei's wife who opened a frozen meat shop in the vegetable market. She was so frightened by the ghost in the mirror that she was ill for several days. Later, she went to the temple to ask for a magical rune, and she drank the water before drinking it. Get better slowly."
After knowing who the eyewitness of the hidden mirror ghost was, we immediately went to Wangcun vegetable market to find Wu Wei and his wife.
When we arrived at the vegetable market, it was already dusk, and there were hardly any customers in the market. Although most of the vegetable vendors had closed, the frozen meat shop was still open. A man in his thirties sat at the door of the frozen meat shop. When he saw us coming, he immediately stood up and asked us enthusiastically what we wanted to buy.
After we came to understand our intention, we learned that he was Wu Wei. When I asked about the Mirror-Hidden Ghost, his face immediately turned ugly, and he said with lingering fears, "The Mirror-Hidden Ghost has done a lot of harm to my daughter-in-law."
"What the hell is going on?" Zhen Zhen asked timidly.
People are sometimes very strange. The more afraid of things, the more they want to know more about them. This is also a good thing, because the unknown is often the source of fear. However, there are no absolutes in the world, and sometimes when you get to know them deeply, you will find that the truth is more terrifying than the rumors.
Wu Wei lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling slightly, and briefly told us about his wife's horrific experience—
About half a month ago, my daughter-in-law planned to visit her parents' house that day. Because she wanted to bring some biscuits and fruits as gifts to her parents' family, she asked me to go with her and said she was helping her carry things. Men, the most annoying thing is these housekeeping etiquette, you send me, I send you to send it, it is better to sit down and play a few laps of mahjong.
At that time, just after the Spring Festival, there were a lot of things to do in the store, and I didn't want to go back to my parents' house with her, so I let her go by herself. Anyway, her parents' home is in Liangcun, which is only a few steps away.
That night, I waited for a long time and didn't see her come back, thinking that she was angry about the day's affairs and would not come back after spending the night at her parents' house. So she called her mother's house, but her mother-in-law said that she had been gone for a long time and should have arrived home long ago.
I thought she had an accident, so I wanted to go out to find her, but as soon as I got to the door, I saw her like a mad woman, screaming for help and running back desperately. As soon as she entered the house, she burrowed into the quilt and covered her head with a quilt. I asked her what happened, but she didn't answer me, just kept saying that a female ghost was going to arrest her.
I don't know what's going on with her, but when she finally came back, she ignored her, thinking she would be fine the next day. But the next day she was lying in bed all day, and I also found several scars on her body, so I asked her what happened last night
She didn't say anything except that she felt dizzy and had no strength at all. I took her to the hospital, and the doctor said that she only suffered a little skin trauma, and there was no other problem. After treating her wound, she could be left with an IV drip.
After returning from the hospital, I asked her again what happened last night? She said that she saw a female ghost in the classroom window when she passed by the village's primary school last night. The female ghost grabbed her and wouldn't let her go, said she would be taken back to be a maid, and asked her what her name was. She told the female ghost that her name was Liang Caixia, and the female ghost said that as long as the surname was Cai, she would let her go. She was afraid that the other party would go back on it, so she even ran to the house.
My daughter-in-law is from Liangcun, and I have never heard the legend of the Tibetan Mirror Ghost in Wangcun, so I don't know what I see is the Tibetan Mirror Ghost. Fortunately, she didn't say her surname was Cai, otherwise she might not be able to save her life.
The Mirror Ghost didn't say that he would kill her. I think she was probably just scared out of her mind, so she went to the temple and asked for a magical rune for her. I gave her the rune water to drink, and after a few days of rest, the situation gradually improved. However, she is still a little scared now. She doesn't dare to go out when it gets dark, and she is especially afraid of things like mirrors and windows. I had to hide all the mirrors at home and put newspapers on the glass of the windows...
Later, he told us that the legend about the ghost in hiding is basically the same as what Cai Quan said, the biggest difference is that the Taoist did not apologize to the widow for death, but after saving the widow's dead soul, he got the forgiveness of the other party. .
However, because of his own fault, the tragedy of the widow, mother and daughter made the Taoist feel very guilty. In order to make up for his own fault, the Taoist decided to go all out and fight to the death with the ghost of the mirror, and finally forced the ghost of the mirror into the air-raid shelter behind the elementary school, and imprisoned the other party in the hole with his own life.
It's a pity that the Taoist priest's cultivation is superficial, and he has not been able to completely imprison the hidden mirror ghost, and can only limit her activities to a limited extent. So every once in a while, the Mirror-Hidden Ghost can break through the bondage and run out of the cave to harm others.
If the truth is as he said, then the Mirror Ghost is too scary. However, it was not true what he heard, and what he saw was not true, let alone what he heard from his wife.
However, I noticed that in the process of his narration, he mentioned that after his wife was attacked by the ghost of the hidden mirror, there were several scars on her body. After confirming with him, he learned that the wound was caused by the attack of the Mirror Ghost, not the result of a fall while escaping. Within the scope of my knowledge, ghosts are ethereal and impossible to cause physical harm to people.
So I asked him if he could get his wife to tell us the details of the night of the incident.
He thought for a moment and said, "No problem, my daughter-in-law will stay at home. If you don't mind, just follow me home!" He immediately picked up the phone on the cashier table and called home . After informing his wife that we would be visiting, he closed the store and took us home.
I wanted to drive directly to Wu Wei's house, but when the police car approached an elementary school, he motioned me to park in front of the playground. He said that the road in the country is narrow, and there is a small road from here to his house, and the police car cannot pass through, so he must get out of the car and walk.
After getting out of the car, he told us that his wife was attacked by the mirror ghost here. It was already dark at this time, and with the help of the faint starlight, I could barely see the whole picture of the primary school.
The main building of the primary school is a three-storey teaching building, covering an area of about 500 square meters. In front of the teaching building is a simple basketball court, and outside the court there is a circle of sand and stone paved running tracks. The most eye-catching windows of the entire primary school are the windows of the teaching building. From the front, you can see more than 20 windows. Each window is about two meters wide and one meter five high, all of which are embedded with dark blue glass. Sliding aluminum windows.
Each classroom in the teaching building must have sufficient light sources during the day, which is very suitable for students to attend classes. However, when night falls, the dark blue glass is like a mysterious black mirror under the faint starlight.
At this moment, the legendary ghost hiding behind a mirror seems to be hiding behind a mirror, watching our every move, waiting for an opportunity to attack us.
Perhaps the mirror-like glass made Zhen Zhen feel uneasy, she kept urging us to leave quickly. But I suddenly remembered that the destination of our trip was the Wangcun Primary School in front of me. The purpose of our visit was to investigate whether Wang Xi, a primary school teacher, was the murderer of Cai Shaomeng. But later, he has been focusing on the hidden mirror ghost, but has forgotten the original purpose.
I asked Wu Wei if he knew Wang Xi, and he replied: "Yes, Wang Village is not very big, most people in this village know each other, and he is a very famous person in the village, no one does not know him. However, now you want to It's not the time to find him."
"Why?" Zhen Zhen asked.
Wu Wei smiled and said, "Don't think he's just a primary school teacher. His shows are colorful. It's hard to find him after school."
I asked: "What kind of person is he, can you tell us?"
"Let's talk as we walk!" Wu Wei led us across the country road to his house, and on the way told us about Wang Xi's "splendid deeds"—
Wang Xi's father, Wang Fa, was a foreman, specializing in government construction projects. Wangcun Vegetable Market was built by him, and he still has a share!
All of you who are police officers must know that as long as you can get involved in government projects, you will not have to worry about money to spend, and he is a man with a lot of money that can be used to reclaim the sea. When his eldest daughter got married two years ago, there were nearly 200 tables at the wedding banquet. Although it was a joint marriage, the man would not be able to sit at thirty tables even if he died. Even an idler like my wife and I who can't fight with anything, even received invitations.
The wedding banquet was rich, full of expensive dishes such as lobster, shark fin, abalone, etc., as if we were afraid that we would not know he was rich. Haha, but I don't care how luxurious his banquet is, anyway, my wife and I will only give him a red envelope of 100 yuan. Who told him to always increase our rent!
(Zhen Zhen doesn't seem to be interested in Wang Fa's big money, so she urged: "What about his son?")
Wang Xi, this stinky boy, is a well-known troublemaker in our village. Basically, he has never done anything bad. I remember most when he was about 14 or 15 years old, he made a little girl's belly in Liang Village big, and then he didn't want anyone else. The girl was his primary school classmate, who was fourteen or five years old at the time, and he didn't dare to tell her parents after she played with her. Seeing that my stomach is getting bigger and bigger, sooner or later, I will not be able to hide it, and I will jump into the fish pond and commit suicide when I can't think of it.
After the girl's parents knew what was going on, of course they refused to let him go, and called all the relatives to his house to find him to settle accounts. Wang Fa had to rely on this son to succeed the light, and of course he couldn't let him lose anything. However, although he is wealthy and powerful, his son is indeed at a loss, and he doesn't want to make things worse, so he has to pay a lot of money to the girl's parents.
Later, Wang Fa was afraid that his son would continue to cause trouble for him, so he spent money to find a relationship and sent Wang Xi to a key middle school in the provincial capital. Originally, he wanted Wang Xi to study hard in a key middle school, but when Wang Xi arrived in the provincial capital, he was left unchecked, and instead became even more troublesome.
Although the student status can be kept, Wang Xi is not the material for reading, and finally got into the college entrance examination, but he is too embarrassed to say the score. Later, he had to let his father spend money to put him in an unnamed normal university.
He spent a few years in the normal school, and after he got his diploma, Wang Fa spent more money to buy him an errand in the middle school in the county seat. It's a pity that he still has the same virtue, and he actually messed up his own students. Although it is not as deadly as before, it is not a problem that can be solved by spending money. The county town is not as easy to handle as our village. Although Wang Fa burns incense to the principal, he still cannot keep his job. It's no wonder that the principal, with such a teacher in the school, who would dare to let their daughter come to school
After being bombed back in the county town, Wang Xi and his father worked on projects for a while, but he didn't care about anything, often messed up things, and offended some officials. This is his father's job. Of course, he can't be messed up, so he has to go back to his old job and find him an errand at Wangcun Primary School.
Although Wang Fa had no ability to handle the middle school in the county, he was still somewhat capable in Wangcun, and the principal of Wangcun Primary School was his cousin, so it was not difficult for Wang Xi to work in the primary school. However, Wang Xi stayed in the elementary school, which made the parents of the female students worry all day long, and each and everyone told Wan to tell their daughters not to come too close to him, as if they would get pregnant just by looking at him.
In fact, the worst is Principal Wang. Although he is very reluctant to let Wang Xi work in the primary school, he has received a lot of favors from Wang Fa over the years. And after all, it is also a relative, so this face must be given!
However, Wang Fa also knew that his son was not a good thing. When he put Wang Xi into the elementary school, he said to Principal Wang, "I'm spending money to put him in jail." When the letter is paid to the son. So, don't let him do what you can't let him do, as long as he comes to work on time every day, don't let him make trouble everywhere.
Principal Wang is a smart person. In order to prevent Wang Xi from causing trouble for him, and to reassure his parents, he arranged for him to do some administrative work, euphemistically called "the Dean of Education". In fact, this slap-sized primary school has a total of ten or eight teachers, and they are all honest people who keep their own feet, so what administrative work is there
Therefore, Wang Xi actually went to elementary school on time every day to "go to jail" as his father said.
Wang Xi was definitely not willing to go to elementary school every day to go to jail, but he had to go. Because his father gave him a ruthless move, if he didn't go to elementary school on time, even if he was only late once, he would have to deduct his salary for the month. Don't think that his salary is not much. As I said just now, his salary is actually his father's donation. To put it bluntly, it means giving him pocket money through the school.
Wang Fa's trick is quite effective. At least Wang Xi stayed in elementary school for two years and didn't cause any big trouble...
