It is said that once upon a time, there was a guard in the palace who loved riding horses and shooting arrows.

As long as he was not on duty in the palace, he would mount his horse with his bow and arrows on his back and go hunting.

On this day, he went hunting outside Dongzhimen again.

Suddenly, he saw a hare in front of him. He immediately drew his bow and arrow, aimed and shot.

Unexpectedly, he missed and missed.

The hare was frightened and ran away.

The guard galloped his horse and whipped his horse in hot pursuit. He was only thinking about chasing the hare and did not pay attention to the situation on both sides of the road.

At this time, there was an old man on the roadside, bending over to draw water from the well.

It's too late to say.

The guard's horse galloped towards him. He couldn't avoid it for a moment and hit the old man's buttocks. The old man was knocked into the well.

The guard was horrified, knowing that he had gotten into a big trouble. He involuntarily reined in the horse and asked it to stop.

He looked around, but there was no one around.

I wanted to get off my horse and go rescue people, but when I saw this scene, an idea came to my mind unexpectedly: Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!

He no longer hesitated, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, shook the reins in his hand, and galloped straight towards home.

People can't do bad things. Once they do, they will easily have nightmares.

That night, the guard fell asleep and had a strange dream.

I saw the old man who had been knocked into the well by him during the day, kicked open his door, rushed to his bed, pointed at his nose and yelled: "You murderer!"

The guard panicked and argued, "I didn't mean it!"

The old man was furious: "I know you didn't mean it! Although you didn't have the intention to kill me, you actually did it! I admit that you bumped into me and it was an unintentional mistake on your part, but you watched helplessly Watch me fall into the well, but don't save me! Even if you can't save me, you can still call others to save me, then I will have a chance to survive, and nine times out of ten I won't die!

But you didn't care, ran back home and let me drown alive!

Where is your conscience? !

See if I don’t turn your family upside down! "

The guard knew that he was wrong, but he was speechless for a moment!

The old man was unreasonable and yelled with confidence. He threw porcelain and smashed doors and windows when he saw them, making a big fuss.

The noise was so loud that it made the whole family of guards quarrel.

After the guard returned home, he did not tell his family what happened. He originally wanted to blame the old man for coming to the house late at night to cause trouble, but now that he learned the ins and outs of the incident, everyone was shocked.

There was no time to bury the wrong committed by the guards, so they quickly knelt down together and begged the old man to show mercy!

Now that they knew that the old man was not a human being, but a ghost who died unjustly, in order to show their sincerity, the guard's family quickly prepared wine and sacrifices, and took out paper money, gold ingots, etc. to burn to the old man.

The old man didn't appreciate it. He said arrogantly: "What's the use of this little thing?! Are you really just sending ghosts?!"

The guard said in fear: "Don't dare! Don't dare! We don't know what you want, sir! Please make it clear!"

The old man's face looked better now.

But his tone was still tough: "If you want to calm my anger, you have to do what I say!"

"Sir, please tell me! We will definitely do it!"

"Okay! You immediately use the best wood to make a tablet and write my name on it. Place this tablet together with that of your ancestors.

Every day, I have to pay tribute with good wine, good food, and gold and silver treasures. Honor me just like you honor your ancestors!

If I can do it, I will consider forgiving you! "

The guard was still a little hesitant, but his family members immediately agreed to settle the matter and seek peace.

And he did it immediately.

Only then did the old man retreat with satisfaction.

Sure enough, for a long time after that, everything was peaceful in the house of the guards, and nothing strange happened.

The old man didn't come to the house again.

However, the guard had made a mistake after all. An innocent life disappeared in his hands, and it was inevitable that he would feel some inexplicable fear in his heart.

In order not to get into trouble and get entangled with the old man, every time he passed by Dongzhimen, he would stay away from the well where the accident occurred for peace of mind.

One day, the bodyguard was on duty to protect the holy driver when he was traveling.

When he was about to arrive at Dongzhimen, he felt frightened and wanted to avoid the well as usual.

Just when he wanted to quietly leave the escort team and go around alone, he was caught by the head guard.

The steward reprimanded him angrily: "I am protecting the emperor at this time, and you actually want to desert?!"

The guard hurriedly said: "Sir, don't be angry! I'm not deserting! I'm just anxious and want to find a secluded place for convenience. I'll be back soon!"

The steward was not prepared: "When is this?! Hold it in! If the emperor suddenly asks you, how do you want me to reply?!"

The guard had no choice but to approach the person next to the steward and tell him the truth in a low voice.

The manager said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? It's clear day, in broad daylight. Besides, we have a large team of people here. How dare an old ghost come out to trouble you?"

Seeing that the steward refused to allow him to take a detour, the guard had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the large group out of Dongzhimen.

When passing the well, the guard plucked up the courage and glanced over there secretly.

This sight immediately frightened him out of his wits.

I saw the old man standing on the curb of the manhole very alive.

The guard shouted in his heart: Mr. Manager! I was killed by you now! What broad daylight! What a large team of people! Didn't this old ghost come out the same way? !

He turned his head away and tried his best to hide in the middle of the team, praying in his heart: You can't see me! Can't see me!

But things often don’t go as one wishes!

The more you are afraid of something, the more likely it will come!

The guard was worried about being seen by the old man, but the old man happened to be in the team and saw him at a glance!

The old man's face showed the kind of surprise he had been looking for for a long time; it was more of the kind of sworn hatred when he saw his enemy!

He immediately rushed over, grabbed the guard's clothes, and yelled: "You bad guy! Today I finally found you! Do you still remember the crimes you committed a few years ago?"

The guard knew he was wrong and did not dare to respond.

The manager knew this was a ghost and hid aside, not daring to stop him.

The old man continued to curse angrily: "You beast! You rode a horse and knocked me into a well, but you hit the horse and ran away instead of coming to save me. How could you bear to do this?"

The old man scolded and beat the guard violently with punches and kicks.

The guard didn't have any martial arts skills and didn't dare to fight back.

Firstly, he felt guilty, and secondly, he didn't have the courage to fight an old ghost.

He could only suppress the panic in his heart and begged: "I know I am a sinner, and I don't want to shirk responsibility. Didn't I do everything you said?

In the past two years, I have worshiped you as an ancestor. Sir, you should know that after receiving so many sacrifices, you can't just keep your word, right?

You personally agreed in front of our whole family, don’t embarrass me anymore! Are you going to regret it now? "

Hearing what the guard said, the old man became even more angry: "You still want to make excuses! How can I, a living person, accept your sacrifice?! Are you trying to curse me to death?!"

The guard was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Are you alive? Were you not drowned?"

The old man was furious: "You just drowned! Your whole family was drowned!"

The guard was confused: "What is going on? Who is the one who came to the door?"

The old man was still angry: "You knocked me into the well and ran away without saving me. Is there no one but you?"

That day you ran away and I shouted for help in the well. A passerby pulled me up and saved my life!

I'm not dead! Why do you suspect that I am a ghost? And why do you say that I have been worshiped by your family for many years? "

The guard was terrified!

He didn't know how to explain it to the old man, so without saying a word, he immediately pulled the old man home with him.

The old man looked at the tablet and saw that the name written on it was not his.

He immediately became furious, raised his arms, pointed at the memorial tablet and cursed loudly.

He was so angry that he picked up the memorial tablet and smashed it to the ground, overturning all the offerings in front of him.

Even so, he still couldn't get over his anger, so he jumped on the broken tablet and stamped on it, shouting curses.

The guard's family members were so frightened that they thought the old ghost was coming to make trouble again.

The guard was about to explain to his family when he heard a burst of triumphant laughter in the air, rising higher and higher and fading away!

Only then did everyone suddenly realize: It turned out that the old ghost was an imposter and was enjoying the sacrifices and offerings!
