The Taoist priest is haunted by evil spirits

Ying Yi woke up, the effect of the spell was limited, the sleep restriction was lifted, and he regained normal hearing.

Just after he regained his hearing, he heard some voices. At first it was a woman's short scream, then there was a man's terrified cry, followed by the sound of people running and the barking of dogs.

He opened his eyes and saw that Yan Xiao was awake, so he pointed to his ear.

Yan Xiaohui realized that he lifted the spell and moved over, and heard Ying Yi say: "Light on the lamp, and wake up your master."

He did as he did, but he felt very guilty. He felt that he had caused his uncle to be given by the master. He planned to apologize to his uncle after a while, but he didn't know what happened now.

When Lu Jingyu woke up, he found that he had slept with Ying Yi in his arms for most of the night, so as soon as the spell was lifted, he immediately withdrew his arm and asked, "Did you do it?"

Ying Yi pointed to his own face: "Look at the good things you did, if I did it, you would put your hands on my face all night?"

Seeing that Ying Yi's face turned red, Lu Jingyu acquiesced that he was the one who committed evil at night, and changed the subject: "What happened?"

Ying Yi said: "I heard someone screaming just now, I don't know what's going on, let's go and have a look."

Yan Xiao asked: "But the door of the inn at this point has been closed long ago..."

"Then go out through the window." Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu said in unison, and immediately got up and put on their clothes.

They opened the window and got out. Ying Yi said: "I heard the sound was in the northwest direction. There was light from torches and lanterns over there. It was very close to the woods. Let's go around and go into the woods."

When they arrived in the woods, they climbed up the tree and looked in the direction of the lantern. They found several people gathered around the door of a house. The house was located in a remote place, far away from the houses of other villagers.

Several people held torches or lanterns in their hands, and a person lay motionless on the ground next to him, with a big pool of blood beside him, and a woman was sobbing softly in the crowd.At this time, a person hurried over, and an old voice sounded: "The dog was killed?"

The man who came running replied: "He is already dead. Village chief, let's tell the public tomorrow that a mad dog bit someone, and people were so scared that they shouted in the middle of the night, that mad dog has already been beaten to death by us."

Another person asked: "Then this dead flower picker..."

The village head said: "Forget it, turn over and have a look at his face."

Hearing the word "flower picker", the three people on the tree understood that it was not a mad dog biting people at all, but someone was killed for committing a crime, and the village chief wanted to suppress it.Yan Xiao wanted to rush out, but was held down by Lu Jingyu and Ying Yi, and they continued to observe the situation.

Several people turned the corpse over to have a look, and someone was shocked: "Isn't this Liu Er!"

The village head said: "You go and tell Liu Er's wife to come over alone, just say that she is at the He family's side, so don't disturb others." As soon as the words fell, someone ran away.

He family?Thinking of what the waiter and the others in the inn said about Mrs. He, the men and sons of the He family were stupid, and it was possible that they lived in a remote place for fear of disturbing others.

Soon, a woman ran over. She looked at one person, gritted her teeth and said, "You bitch! Could it be that you failed to seduce my man, and killed him with your stupid man!" Rao tried her best to lower her voice , can still feel the great resentment and hatred contained in it.

A woman came out from the crowd, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kept kowtowing: "Sister-in-law Liu, no... I didn't seduce him..." She kowtowed as she spoke, her voice choked, and she was forced to be accompanied by several women. He got up, still sobbing.

One of the women seemed to be unable to see it, and retorted: "Who doesn't know what kind of man you are? He is a master who likes to visit brothels! Who in the village doesn't know that the daughter-in-law of the He family gets up early every day to make tofu, and takes care of her in the middle of the night. Grandpa, how can I have time to talk to your broken man!"

The three of them heard that the woman just now was definitely Sister-in-Law He, she really had a hard life, working hard to support her family and being slandered for no reason, she couldn't swallow it for a while.

Sister-in-law Liu was even angrier. She picked up a kitchen knife and rushed to chop He's sister-in-law, but was held down by several women and men.Although she was restrained, she couldn't stop talking, cursing viciously in her mouth: "She is a bitch who receives customers in a brothel! She is a ransomed person! Do you think you can be a good person if you become a good person?", saying Stop spitting heavily in the direction of Mrs. He, "Bah!"

Another woman said: "Your prodigal man drinks endlessly and beats you and your kid all day long. I think he deserves it if he dies!" Everyone echoed.

Sister-in-law Liu turned a deaf ear to it, and only cursed bitterly: "You bitch who seduces men by disobedience, deserves to marry a big fool and give birth to a fool!" She suddenly thought of something, and her voice rose, "I want to report to the police! Let the government arrest you bitch and parade you through the streets!"

At this time, a child came out of the back room, Mrs. He hurriedly pushed and hugged the child back into the room, and whispered: "Go back to the room! Don't come out!" and closed the door again.

"No!" The village chief stopped him, "People from the government will definitely investigate the case when they come over. Our village has been safe and sound for so many years. In recent years, there have been more talents in Lu'an Mountain, and the life of the villagers has improved. You have forgotten how many years ago. Are you poor? If there is a case in the village, it will affect the tourists who come here!" He looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Your family has finally built a new house, and you don't want to rent it out to make money? Anyway, your man is still a prodigal. Wouldn't it be better if all the money came into your hands?" After speaking, the village head's old voice was full of calculations, which surprised all three of them.

There is no distinction between high and low in human life. Throughout the ages, there are those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and those who steal their lives. However, this has nothing to do with money and interests, and is judged from the perspective of personal value.And those transactions that nakedly link human life and money, they will never see the light of day, living on the edge.

Then Sister-in-Law Liu immediately changed into a flattering expression, and flattered her: "Village Chief, what you said is true, but my man can't just lose his life for nothing..." She looked at Sister-in-law He again, her eyes overflowing under the firelight Full of greed, it is obvious that he wants the other party to "express" and "mean".

The village head said: "Daughter-in-law of the He family, how can you say that someone died on your side? If you don't give an explanation, I'm afraid..." Although the village head didn't finish his sentence, everyone present knew what it meant , only silent.

Obviously they were still scolding Mrs. Liu for defending Mrs. He just now, but they didn't make a sound, as if they had tacitly accepted such a rule in their eyes: everyone has a sense of proportion in ordinary things, and they decide their attitudes based on the matter itself— — The premise is that the common interests of everyone cannot be touched.

And everyone's common interest is to rely on tourists from Lu'an Mountain to obtain money. At this time, everyone is like a grasshopper tied to a rope. If someone tries to destroy this common interest, the consequences can be imagined.

Sister-in-law He turned around and went into the house. After a while, she took out a roll of handkerchief and handed it to the village chief. The village chief opened it and saw that it was silver. The village chief has decided for me."

Sister-in-law Liu grabbed the silver and was about to leave, she shook her hand intentionally, and the handkerchief wrapped with silver fell to the ground. leave.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu had no objection, everyone dispersed, leaving Mrs. He kneeling on the ground alone, wiping away tears with the back of her hand.The child came out of the house, hugged her and cried silently.

Lu Jingyu couldn't bear it, but now was not the time to speak, so he could only lower his voice and say, "Let's go back first."

The three returned to the inn, Yan Xiao entered the room and sat down at the table, then stood up immediately.In order not to disturb the people next door, he lowered his voice, but his emotions were very angry: "I'm going to the county seat now, and I will report to the officials when the yamen opens!"

"No." Ying Yi pushed him back on the chair.

"Why!" Yan Xiao asked, "That's a life!"

Ying Yi said: "Xiao Xiao, you also saw just now that even the village chief didn't want to report to the officials, and even fabricated the facts to spread out. They made it clear that they wanted to suppress this matter. You can report to the officials, but the people in the government Here, the village chief and the others can’t find anyone to report to the officials, so they will only suspect all the tourists. Don’t you forget, they don’t even care about the life of a person in the village, let alone the life of people who affect their business?”

Yan Xiao said: "One person does things and the other person is responsible. I will come here with the police. If there is any blame, come to me."

Lu Jingyu said: "They don't think you are fighting for justice. Think about who is the victim in this incident? The villagers who do business, or the sister-in-law Liu who died of her husband?"

"Yes...it's Mrs. He." Yan Xiao replied.

"Exactly, if you bring the police here quickly, those who know will only suspect Mrs. He. When the case is over, you can leave. What about Mrs. He? Have you thought about her life in the future? " Lu Jingyu said again.

Lu Jingyu is not unreasonable - on the contrary, he is very aware of Yan Xiao's temperament, and understands that Yan Xiao's kindness is not just reflected in words, but will be proved by actions.But it is precisely because of this that it is easier for this kind of kindness to become a sharp knife in the hands of others.

Some people are born to kill with a knife. They ridicule, instigate, and use various methods to arouse the indignation and impulse deep in the blood of kind people. Not everyone calmly analyzes the pros and cons when they are indignant and impulsive, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions .They use these omissions to achieve their own goals, and it will never be them who blame themselves, but the people they use.

People who are being used are immersed in sorrow and pain day after day. Even after many years, the wound has already healed. When you see it inadvertently, you can clearly see the inside through the outside. The wound has spread to In my heart, it is full of regret, self-blame and unwillingness.Over time, they became numb and negative, and even began to doubt why they did what they did in the first place, completely forgetting that kindness was used by others to lead to such a situation in the first place.

Over time, baseness drives out justice, and indifference drives out goodness.Lu Jingyu thought that he could protect Yan Xiao's kindness.At least, don't let this kindness be used by others, which in turn makes it difficult for Sister He.

"Master, my Yiyun disciple has no reason to stand on the sidelines when encountering things." Yan Xiao couldn't figure it out, he was clearly the victim, and Sister He just resisted.

Besides, her husband is a fool. If she resists or her husband makes a move, if she misses, it is a miss, but the premise is that Liu Er did something against the law.Why do you have to pay back to Mrs. Liu?What did Mrs. He do wrong to let all the hardships of life fall on a woman?

Yan Xiao added: "After this incident, we can send the three members of the He family to another town. Anyway, we can't stay in this greedy place."

"Then have you ever asked Mrs. He what she thinks?" Lu Jingyu asked back.

"I..." Yan Xiao didn't know how to answer.

Lu Jingyu said seriously: "You have no right to make decisions about other people's lives, you just said 'we can', but have you asked her if she wants this 'can'? If she just wants to live here, don't you ask Do you want to destroy everything she has now without asking?"

Ying Yi said: "Yes, Xiao Xiao, even if she is willing to take her husband and son with us to another town, have you figured out where she will go, do you have a plan? Time to slowly find a place in the surrounding towns? Besides, Lu'an Mountain is full of tourists all year round, and the money earned here may not be less than other places you think."

Lu Jingyu added: "For those villagers, cutting off people's wealth is no different from killing people's lives, so it is best for the village to remain calm all the time. When they face common interests, they will be very united. Don't look at the daily life. It's very harmonious, if someone in the middle pulls everyone's hind legs, their hoes may not be aimed at that person in unison. If Sister He becomes that person in their eyes, what do you think they will do to her?"

Ying Yi echoed: "Exactly. Although we can't control it on the surface, it doesn't mean we will ignore this matter. Let's stay here for a few more days and see if there is anything else happening. It's still early. Go to sleep a little longer."

Yan Xiao was depressed and a little sleepy. At this time, he was downcast and listless. He lowered his head in a sullen look, completely losing his usual liveliness.Seeing him like this, Lu Jingyu and Ying Yi instinctively felt affection and wanted to comfort him.

So they stretched out their hands to touch Yan Xiao's head. Unfortunately, their frequencies were so consistent that they were placed on Yan Xiao's head at the same time.Lu Jingyu immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and even pretended not to care.

This series of actions was caught by Yan Xiao's eyes.He was already depressed because of what happened just now, but when he thought that his master still disliked his uncle so much, he was even more sad, sighed and went to bed.

He didn't sleep well this time, he tossed and turned, watching the sky brighten up a little bit, but he didn't have a plan for the day at all because of the sense of new life and joy in the morning.

The author has something to say:

I thought about the title, and finally named it in the format of "husband's surname + sister-in-law".

Cough cough, I posted the manuscript at [-] o'clock and found that it was too late to spit it out_(:з」∠)_
