Huangliang Inn

Chapter 23 Resentment

As evening approached, Chou Liu bid farewell to Yan Jue.In addition to the two altars of fine wine, Yan Jue also exchanged a box of dried fruit and three boxes of caramel.Whether she likes it or not, she is now the leader of the clan, and it is her duty to take care of the children in the clan.

"When we go back, we have to tell those little fishes not to dig things on the bottom of the sea if they have nothing to do."

Glancing at the female ghost who picked up the food box again, seeing that she turned out a demon fish with a few chopsticks, Ugly Six's scalp felt a little numb.A water ghost eats food more fiercely than a starving ghost. It's unimaginable if you don't see it with your own eyes.

Recalling the posture during the day, she was a little scared.

In case the other party doesn't have enough to eat, it's hard to guarantee that Yan Jue won't jump up and chew himself up while being caught by Bi Fang.

Before the water ghost left, it would be better for her not to come to the inn.

As soon as Chou Liu left, Geng Chen also bid farewell and left.

Yan Yu sent out the door and stood under the glazed lamp, the hazy light shone on his body, as if covered with a halo.

Geng Chen paused slightly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.Sweeping his gaze across Yan Xing, his eyes narrowed into narrow vertical pupils, he clenched the long sword in his hand, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Yan Jue folded his arms and leaned against the door, watching Geng Chen's back disappear, pressed his thumb on his upper and lower lips with a little force.Feeling a mass of warmth at his feet, he looked down at the coquettish little fox, and couldn't help but chuckle.He pinched the back of Shirao's neck and lifted it up, rolled it into a ball in his hand, turned around and returned to the room.

That night, Yin soldiers took turns guarding the will-o'-the-wisps. The company commander wanted to catch the monster, but was stopped by Yan Yu.

In An City, the magistrate ghosts are afraid of him and Geng Chen, and will not do anything to this Yin soldier.Once out of Anshi, there is no guarantee that there will be no trouble.

Even though the Yin soldiers have meritorious deeds, they are not afraid of the people in the underworld, and they can fight back and forth with the judges, but they still have to reincarnate after all, and they will form too many beams, which will not be beneficial to the future.

"Reincarnation." The company commander sat at the table, grabbed the wine jar and poured a big gulp, the black energy surged all over his body, not as gloomy as usual, but with a sense of desolation.

"Being a ghost for decades, thinking about avenging the dead brothers all day long, so that the traitors will get retribution. Reincarnation, we can still reincarnate, those brothers who died with the ghost soldiers can no longer..."

Ghosts can't get drunk, but the company commander is drunk. Dozens of Yin soldiers are also drunk.

The female ghost stayed on the first floor and ate five demon fishes, only sixty percent full.In the end, I restrained myself and didn't continue to move my chopsticks.He took the silk handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the corners of his lips, and then untied a pouch, and poured out five crystal clear amber beads, which were all wrapped in a hundred-year-old demon pill.

Seeing Yan Jue's surprised face, the female ghost didn't want him to misunderstand, and explained: "Shopkeeper, don't think too much, these are river fish demon pills, and they are evil demons that devour children and do many evils, not creatures in the sea."

"River fish?"

"Exactly." The female ghost nodded and said, "The place where I will be buried is not the bottom of the sea, but the river."

The female ghost brought the amber beads to Yan Jue, and told about her experiences during her lifetime.

"I was born in the Guangxu period of the former Qing Dynasty. Both my great-grandfather and my grandfather were born as scholars and worked as a staff teacher around the county magistrate. My father was not talented in studying. He ran a hundred acres of fertile land in his hometown, and opened a silk and satin shop and a restaurant. "

Reminiscing about her childhood, the female ghost had a smile on her face, and even though the blackness persisted, the perception of it softened.

"I am the eldest daughter of my family. I was born in winter, which coincided with a snowfall. My father named me Songxue. After me, my mother never gave birth. My father took two concubines and only added a daughter, who was two years younger than me. , also born in winter, named Yongmei."

"Yongmei was smart and smart since she was a child, and she was very popular with her father. She clamored to go to school, and my father obeyed her."

Speaking of this, the female ghost's expression slowly changed, as if a cloud was covering her, and she no longer had any warmth.

"I got engaged at the age of 14, got married at the age of 17, and moved to the provincial capital with my husband's family the following year."

"At that time, the Qing Dynasty was gone. My husband had a background in studying abroad and took up an official position in the government. My family background was rising. My natal family was only a gentry, and I hadn't had a job for three years. My mother-in-law was often dissatisfied and sarcastic. There is also a lot of negligence."

"Although my life was difficult at that time, it was not impossible. I always remembered the gentleness and obedience taught by my mother, and I always thought that even a stone can be warmed up with my heart."

The woman mourned deeply, and there was a bit of hostility in her sorrow.

"However, what I think is completely different from what others think."

"What?" Yan Jue poured out a cup of hot tea and brought it to the woman.The fragrance of tea is wafting, the heat is rising, the woman's expression is as hazy as a white gauze, only her eyes are getting brighter red.

"My husband's name is Zongzhang, Shen Zongzhang. In his early years, he went to study in the East and learned new culture. He doesn't like old women. Marrying me is just a silver dollar promised by my father. I need money to help my future."

Thinking of the anticipation when she got married, the forbearance when she was neglected, and the pain after learning the truth, the woman clenched her hands tightly, and her nails dug into her palms.

"I can bear all this, but he shouldn't, shouldn't do such unethical things!"

Seeing that the black energy was out of control, Yan Jue put his hand on the woman's forehead.After the situation gradually eased, and the black streaks that climbed up to the woman's neck gradually receded, he withdrew his hand.

The woman thanked Yan Jue, drank half a cup of tea, calmed her emotions, and then continued: "That year, my mother came to the provincial capital to look for a famous doctor, and she and my sister stopped by to see me, and temporarily stayed at my husband's house."

"Yongmei said that she felt unwell during the journey and wanted to rest at home. After I settled her down, I took my mother to the medical center. The doctor prescribed a good prescription for my mother, and I also had a happy pulse after the diagnosis. My mother and I were very happy. When I got home, I wanted to announce the good news. Unexpectedly, I saw and saw a shameless scene!"

The black energy around the woman surged wildly, Yan Jue had no choice but to take out a silver bell and hang it on the table to stabilize the woman's soul with the sound of the bell, preventing her from becoming too violent and falling into madness.

The ringtone is crisp, with a unique frequency.

The black air was gradually controlled, and the woman's expression was no longer distorted, but her eyes were still blood red, and her tone was full of hatred.

"My husband and my own sister, in broad daylight, did such a dirty thing in my house! My mother and I broke through, and the two of them were shameless, saying that they had written letters to each other, and it started when I got married. Secretly pass the song!"

Thinking of the scene at that time, the woman's eyes were filled with blood and tears. In addition to hatred, there was more pain in the eyes, a heart-piercing pain.

"I accuse them of being shameless and disregarding human relations. My husband, who has been sleeping with me for several years, showed unprecedented ferocity and wanted to beat me to death on the spot..."

As the woman spoke, she caressed her cheek, and then covered her lower abdomen.

"That kick just hit my stomach."

"My mother came to stop her, but was pushed down by him, hit her head on the corner of the table, and passed out on the spot."

The woman's voice was shrill, her eyes were blood red, and black lines climbed up her neck again.

"Blood, a lot of blood, some from my mother, some from me."

"The man still didn't stop, as if he wanted to do one thing and beat me to death. My good sister, wearing a man's coat, was sitting by the bed and watching, she was smiling, smiling so proudly, like that Vicious, it makes people feel cold."

"When the man was tired and stopped, she came over and said to me that since she was sensible, she wanted to see this scene, to see our mother and daughter lying on the ground like dogs. She said that her mother is well educated, young and beautiful , more to please my father, why can I only be a concubine? She is obviously more beautiful and smarter, why can I marry into a noble family, but she can't?"

The woman raised her hands and looked carefully at the palms, as if she could see the blood on her hands back then.

"I'm in pain, I can't breathe. I beg her, I beg that man, it doesn't matter what I do, save my mother, let my mother go. If they want to be together, I am willing to ask myself to go down, never Get in their way, but they won't, won't!"

Yan Jue didn't speak, but just picked up the teapot and filled the cup in front of the woman to [-]% full.

"The movement attracted family members, and my mother-in-law came soon. It turns out that they all know about the shameless things that this pair of unethical people did!"

"No one will help, no one!"

"I asked my mother-in-law for help, saying that I had a child, but my mother-in-law showed some hesitation, but the man refused to let me go, came over again, and put his hands on my stomach..."

The woman finally cried out, trembling all over, and the ghost body was a little unstable.

"In the end, my mother was gone, my child was gone, and the family still refused to let me go, hanging on me, declaring to the outside world that I was disobedient and committed adultery with the servants at home. My mother broke through me and killed me on the spot. Kill my mother. My good sister testified, and I can't argue with it."

"My father wouldn't believe me... No, even if he believed, he wouldn't save me."

"According to my 'crime', I should go to the execution ground with my 'adulter'. As a result, the Shen family said that family ugliness should not be publicized, and united the two clans to sink me at night. I didn't even bother to think about the excuses. They only said that I ran away at night. He panicked and fell into the river."

"The water is very cold, very cold." The woman clenched her teacup tightly, as if she wanted to gain some warmth, "I was tied hands and feet, my mouth was stuffed with stones, and I kept sinking... even if I died, I didn't close my eyes , I want to see everyone, everyone!"

After a long time, the black energy on the woman's body gradually receded, Yan Chuan pressed the silver bell and asked, "How did you get into the shell, and how did you get trapped at the bottom of the sea?"

The woman smiled recklessly and ferociously, she lost her original gentleness and dignity, and finally showed the true face of a water ghost.

"I became a ghost after my death. I went to those people, almost, almost succeeded. Unfortunately, I met a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest who meddles in other people's business!"

At the end of the long street, a handsome young man in casual clothes stood under the road sign, holding a compass in his hand, watching the copper needle that was spinning rapidly and finally pointing forward, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
