Because of the famine in his hometown, Lu Falcon, a wealthy family in Yangzhou, had to leave here with his family and go to other places to join relatives, and it was very hard to travel over mountains and rivers along the way.
After many days, he finally arrived at his relative's house, who had not seen him for many years, and the meeting was very affectionate and warm, allowing them to live in the backyard.
After living for a while, Lu Falcon wanted to buy a house, but he never got satisfied.
One day, he went to the outer village to do errands, and heard that there was a house to be sold at the entrance of the village, and his heart moved, so he went there to see that the house was still eighty percent new, it was an antique house, with a garden in the courtyard, and a fish pond in the rockery, and Wu Falcon was very satisfied and quickly bought it.
The family happily moved in and finally had a place to stay.
His relatives were also happy. After settling down, with the help of relatives, Wu Falcon returned to his old business and started a small business.
At the beginning, the business was not good, he did not lose heart, carefully took care of it, slowly got better, the wealth was abundant, and the family had a comfortable life. Every time Lu Falcon came home, he liked to sit with his family at the stone table in the yard drinking tea and laughing.
What surprised him was that not far from the stone table, under a tree, there was a Xuanju (ant) nest, and what was different was that thousands of ants were all red, strong, full of spirit and high morale.
The family was amazed, they had never seen such a weird ant.
One night, the moonlight was hazy, and the family was sleeping, and suddenly heard the woman's crying, like a cry, in this moonlit night, the crying was creepy.
The family was awakened, so frightened that their hair stood on end, they did not dare to sleep again, and sat until dawn.
The next night, the cries began again, sometimes mournful, sometimes bitter and angry.
The family was so frightened that they gathered in a room, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
Wu Falcon was very bold, and when he saw that there were women's cries for several nights, he lay on his stomach in the crack of the door and listened carefully.
Determining that the cry was not from the neighbor's house or in his own yard, he plucked up the courage to rush out and shouted loudly: "Are you a human or a ghost, dare you show up?" What grievances can be voiced..."
At this point, the crying stopped abruptly and calm returned.
But the family did not dare to sleep, and there was a lot of discussion, they all felt that this yard was not clean, it should have been a ghost crying just now, and his wife complained that he was reckless, and did not inquire, so he took it upon himself to buy it.
Wu Falcon had no words and fell into deep thought.
Next, there was no movement for several days, and the family breathed a sigh of relief and a good night's sleep.
After another period of time, when it came to the half-moon ghost festival, the family did not go out at night according to their mother's words, closed the door early, and lay down to rest after eating.
But Wu Falcon was upset because of today's bad business, and he couldn't sleep listening to the sound of a changer every other hour.
I don't know how long it took to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, in my sleep, I suddenly heard a ghost cry again, and I was shocked.
As soon as he sat up, the mother, his children, and the next person came in in in panic, one by one, shaking with fright, and their faces turned pale.
Wu Falcon was very angry and rushed out and said angrily: "Are you a human or a ghost?" Do you dare to show up and see it, what kind of skill is hiding in the shadows..."
At this time, suddenly the green smoke was filled, faintly, a woman in white appeared under a tree, I saw her face pale, her face full of sorrow, and said sadly: "The slave family's name is Yin Niang, it is the personal maid of the original owner and hostess, a dowry girl, the master is very good to me, just because I unintentionally, I saw the male master Su Ji because he liked the new and disliked the old, killed his wife, that is, my master, and said to the outside world that he died of a violent illness, and was buried urgently, the master's parents have passed away, she only has one sister who is also married far away, no one cares, just like that, except me." No one knew that she had been killed, and the man married his distant cousin as he wished, and he knew that I saw the scene, killed me, and buried me under the tree. My poor master died tragically, I was unwilling, but I had no choice but to come out at night and cry sadly, and when they didn't move away, I didn't dare to come out, which made ghosts afraid of the wicked. They moved away because they felt embarrassed living here, the slave family did not mean to disturb you, I beg you to help report to the officials and avenge my master, so that I am also at ease, the slave family's sentence is true, if you don't believe it, you can check the ants under the tree tomorrow, my corpse, has been devoured by mice and ants..."
After speaking, I started crying again...
Wu Falcon likes to fight grievances, listen to the anger, and scold Na Suji as a sanctimonious hypocrite, with long eyebrows and good eyes, modest and courteous, but unexpectedly, but he is a vile and shameless, ruthless villain, promised to help, tomorrow will go to the official, let her rest assured, leave quickly, don't scare her family.
The woman bowed to him and suddenly disappeared.
The next morning, Wu Falcon got up early and went to see the ants under the tree. At this time, he felt that their appearance was very strange, and he shivered.
After watching it for a while, he and his relatives went to Yamen to report to the official.
The government sent someone to arrest Su Ji, who had moved to the outer village, and Su Ji argued cleverly, was as indifferent as water, and refused to confess.
The county official was furious, and ordered people to take him to Wu's house, digging where the woman appeared, and really dug up a white Sensen's bone, Su Ji's face was ugly, and he suddenly slumped on the ground, and had to confess.
The official was led by him to the wilderness and found his wife's grave, which was barren and desolate, and excavated a coffin, in which there was a woman's body, which had decomposed.
After the post-mortem examination, the Dao woman was drugged and stunned, and was hit by gravity and died, and Su Ji was sentenced to death.
Wu Falcon reburied the bones of the two women, and after that, the courtyard finally quieted down.
His business is getting better and better, the money is rolling in, the days are getting better and better, and the family is living a peaceful and happy life.
