Che Rudder, Ma Xiaoxiao! Facing the setting sun, a group of people rushed over in a dusty manner, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them, coating their black and red faces with a layer of gold!
"Shopkeeper, come to the upper room!" Maybe they are too tired to rush to the county town five or six miles away to rest their feet; perhaps they often stay at this guest house, and they are more satisfied and assured of the owner's thoughtful reception!
"Officer, I'm sorry, it's really hard for you today!" The shopkeeper said helplessly.
"What's wrong? A few of us are old patrons, and the host family does not give a convenience! I was so sleepy that I wanted to fall down right away and get some sleep! Others chimed in.
"I'm sorry guys, it's not that the old man is not exhausted, it's really too many guests today!" Don't say go to the room, the wood room is full, this..."
"Master, you give us a way to think of a way!" This is no reason to drive the guests out! ”
"But... This is really landless! If you don't have to run errands again, go to the county town to stay! ”
"Old man, if you look at our small business, how can we afford to live in a big shop in the city?" The old and young in the family still depend on us to earn a little money to support them! You just think of a way for us, just deal with it for a night, where is not a corpse, spend that unjust money for what? ”
"Dead body...?" The owner said everything he thought!
"It's not a corpse!" If the people we rush to the road are sleepy and tired, where is it not to fall asleep on the head? Unlike those who go sightseeing in the mountains, they still have to move their flowers and intestines at night, and have fun! We're not in that mood," said a seemingly leading guest.
"No, no!" The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, "You said this sentence reminds me of a place, but I don't know if you want to live?" "The owner looked a little embarrassed.
"What place?" As long as you can shelter from the wind and rain, you can live! "A guest is fast talking!
"I think of a place, which is also a serious house, but I don't know if you guests will feel obscure!"
"Look at what you always say, what obscurity is not obscure!" Our brothers have traveled south and north for many years, what place has not lived, what world has not passed? You always hurry to say what the place is, don't delay us sleeping! ”
"That's right!" The old man said slowly, "My family just lost its eldest daughter-in-law the day before yesterday, and now it is parked in a house at the other end of the village!" My son went out to buy a coffin today and hasn't come back yet! The house is a good house, it is wronged to you! If you don't hate it, then..."
"Hahaha, old man, what place am I, isn't it a place where the spirit stops?" Hurry up and take us there, and tonight the brethren will have the right to guard the spirits of their sisters and daughters-in-law! Go fast, go fast! ”
"Then come with me!"
At this time, the sky has completely darkened! The old man lit a torch and led the way in front, and four guests followed behind, rushing step by step to the east of the village.
When I entered the door, I saw that there was a spiritual hall at the main entrance, on which were placed candles, fruits and vegetables and other sacrifices, and behind the spiritual hall was a bed, and there was a corpse, and the corpse was covered with a quilt made of paper, and the head was covered with hemp paper, and the appearance could not be seen clearly!
On the left side of the hall there is a suite with a large bunk and a full futon cover, which can sleep seven or eight people! The four people were overjoyed, quickly thanked the old man, sent the old man away, and fell asleep.
The people who rushed to the road were also really tired, and as soon as they fell down, they snored and snored, and slept well!
In the middle of the night, a guest felt anxious to urinate, and was just about to get up to untie his hand, when he suddenly heard the sound of "inspection" of the unveiling quilt coming from the spiritual bed. He had the courage to look at the spiritual bed, and found that the female corpse had actually uncovered the quilt and sat up, and he couldn't help but be frightened and quickly covered his head with the quilt.
After a while, the guest could not help his curiosity, secretly opened a slit in the quilt and peeked out, and found that the female corpse had walked to the front of the three companions' shop and blew a breath into each of their mouths. This guest understood that it was up to him, and quickly covered his head with a quilt. The female corpse did indeed walk to the guest shop and blew a breath at him!
The guest listened intently in the bed, and then heard the sound of "inspection" of the quilt, and knew that the female corpse had returned to the spiritual bed. He pedaled the other three companions with his own feet, and when he found that the companions were completely breathless and did not move, he was completely frightened!
The guest looked at the spirit bed and found that the female corpse was lying there as calmly as before, and he planned to take the opportunity to escape. He had just gotten up to get dressed, and then he heard the sound of "inspection" coming from the spirit bed, and when he fixed his eyes, the female corpse sat up again as before. The guest was so frightened that he quickly covered his head with a quilt, and when he heard the female corpse come to the front of the shop, he blew air at him again, and he was so frightened that the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
After a while, the guest heard the sound of "chacha" coming from the spirit bed again, and knew that the female corpse had gone back to sleep! The guest quickly put on his pants in the bed, jumped out of bed, couldn't even wear his shoes, and went straight to the door! At the same time, the female corpse also suddenly sat up, jumped out of bed to chase the guest, just chased to the door, the guest has already opened the door and snatched the door out, fleeing to the village street!
Frightened, the guests shouted loudly as they ran fast, and the mournful cries echoed in the sky in the middle of the night, but the neighbors in the village did not move a bit! The guests became more and more frightened, running from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, originally wanting to knock on the door of the owner's house, but they were afraid of being caught by the female corpse, so they ran towards the official road leading to the county seat!
Running and running, a Taoist temple appeared in front of them, and the guests panicked and went straight over the mountain gate to ask the Taoist temple to keep themselves, but the old Taoist priest of the Taoist temple did not accept it for a moment or three because he did not believe the incoherent ghost words of the guests! At this time, the female corpse had already chased to her side, and threw her arms at the guests, only a foot away!
The guests were horrified, and with a "ah" sound, they jumped out of the way a few steps, temporarily escaping from the clutches of the female corpse! Seeing that there was a large tree in front of the Taoist Temple, as thick as a circle, the guests rushed to the big tree and hid behind the big tree, followed by the female corpse.
Guests and female corpses around the tree, played a game of "peek-a-boo", female corpses to the left, guests to the right to hide, female corpses to the right, guests to the left to hide, back and forth play hundreds of rounds, the female corpses and guests are tired, standing in place to rest.
The female corpse was completely angered by the arrogance of the guests, she suddenly jumped up, opened her arms to grab the guests, the guests were frightened "Ah" and fell to the ground, the female corpse also embraced the tree with both arms, motionless!
The old Daoist people heard no movement outside in the Taoist Temple, so they came out with a small Daoist to inspect, found the guest lying motionless on the ground, probed with his hand, found that there was still a trace of breath, and hurriedly let the xiao Daoist carry the guest back to the Taoist Temple. After most of the day, the guests woke up and told the Taoist monks about the situation. The old Daoist priest was suspicious of the letter, and the crowd came out to see, and sure enough, they saw a female corpse with a shawl and a big tree frozen there.
The old Daoist did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent someone to report this matter to the county commander. The county commander personally came to investigate, and when he saw a female corpse on the tree in front of the Taoist Temple, he hurriedly ordered someone to unload the female corpse, but he could not unload it. Xian Ling looked around the tree and found that the female corpse's fingers were thick, like hooks inserted into the trunk, and even the nails could not be seen. The county order also let a few powerful people work together to pull the female corpse from the tree, and found that the hole inserted by the female corpse's finger was thick and deep, as if it was chiseled out with a chisel!
The county order passed the guests and the old Taoist priest to him, asked the reason for the matter, and then sent someone to the morgue of the owner's house to check it out, and found that the people there were making a lot of noise because of the loss of the body and the death of three guests. The messenger told the shopkeeper the cause and effect of the incident, and the shopkeeper came to the Taoist temple and carried the body of his daughter-in-law back.
After handling the case, the county order was about to return to the city to report to the book, only to see the only surviving guest "pounce" and kneel in front of the county order, and said sadly: "The county order, when the little people came out, there were four people together, but now I am the only one who goes back, how can I explain it to my father and fellow villagers?" The county order sympathized with the people's hearts, wrote him a certificate, and sent someone to send him back to the township.
