Chu Yi and Zhao Cheng saw the candlelight on the village road from a distance, and hurriedly reminded the villagers hiding in the woods to be silent. Just like this, the crowd saw two figures, becoming more and more clear from far to near.
There was a woman standing closer to the front. She was originally trembling with fear, but when the figure came closer, she rubbed her eyes and saw that they were actually Wang and Li. She suddenly opened her eyes in surprise. Fortunately, the fat aunt noticed her mouth and covered her mouth, so that she didn't make any noise and attracted the attention of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The Lu family lived not far from Uncle Chu's house. When walking around the village on weekdays, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often passed by the Lu family's yard, so they were relatively familiar with the layout of the Lu family's house. The two came to a corner outside the yard, which was opposite Looking at the side window of the Lu family's wing.
Mrs. Li put on the white robe she had been holding in her arms, and spread all her hair in front of her. She stretched her hands forward, lowered her head and kept making gloomy whimpering sounds. Mrs. Wang squatted tightly against the wall. Under the window, he placed the candle diagonally behind Li so that people in the room could clearly see Li's ghost figure through the window paper. Then he reached out and knocked on Lu's window frame.
According to the past, after a while, there would be noises in the house, and some would even scream. At this time, Ms. Li would lower her voice and say something specious. In short, this family had been in jail. People who sell paper money to worship their ancestors will suffer retribution and so on.
However, today I don’t know if the Lu family members were sleeping too hard. The two of them were tossing around outside for a long time but they didn’t see any movement in the house. Wang was impatient and reached out to knock harder, and Li followed suit. He acted even harder, but there was still no sound coming from the room.
Mrs. Wang was a little puzzled. She stood up and took two steps back. She stood on tiptoe and looked over the courtyard wall into the courtyard. She then reached out and patted the short courtyard wall of the Lu family. She was debating whether to jump over the courtyard wall and enter the courtyard. They tried, but they were worried that the Lu family had a large population and it would be difficult for the two of them to escape if they were blocked in the yard, so they hesitated and gave up.
Mrs. Wang stood by the window and knocked hard again, but there was still no response at all in the room. Mrs. Li's patience was almost exhausted. She lifted her hair from her forehead, looked at Mrs. Wang and whispered: "Auntie, Lu There must be no one living in this house at all!"
"No way, the Lu family doesn't have a large population. There are only a few rooms in the yard. How can there be any room available?"
After Wang said that, she stretched out her finger and licked it, and then directly poked the window paper of the Lu family's wing. She followed it and looked into the room. For some reason, it was very bright outside today, but Wang However, Shi felt that it was extremely dark in the Lu family's room and he couldn't see anything clearly. He had no choice but to take a step back, rubbed his dry eyes, and then moved closer again holding the candlestick.
"ah!"
Mrs. Wang could see clearly this time. There was a person inside, to be precise, a human eye, staring at her on the other side of the window!
Mrs. Li was originally standing behind Mrs. Wang, looking inside. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang suddenly screamed and fell backwards. Mrs. Li could not avoid it, and was brought down by Wang's bulky body. Crushed to the ground.
Ms. Li desperately pushed Ms. Wang who was pressing on her, but Ms. Wang had already thought about it and did not react at all. As soon as she finally freed her legs, she heard a burst of noisy footsteps, heading towards Coming here running!
Li was lying on her back on the ground, looking up and back in panic. She saw pairs of men's and women's shoes kicking toward her, as if they were about to step on her face next step. At the same time, that sound sounded in her ears. The curse of the owner of a pair of shoes!
"Catch those two shameless ones!"
"Let them pretend to be ghosts and scare people, then tie them up!"
"Tie him up, tie him up! He's so shameless!"
Ms. Li closed her eyes in despair. At this moment, she wished she was the one who fainted and it was Ms. Wang who had to face all this!
Mrs. Wang was woken up by a basin of cold water being poured on her. It was midnight in the twelfth lunar month and it had just snowed heavily for a day. After the snow stopped, it was the coldest time. This basin of cold water ran along Mrs. Wang's collar, and most of it was covered by it. After pouring it into her inner clothes, Wang woke up the moment she was stimulated. Just as she was about to curse, she found that her mouth was gagged and her hands were tied behind her back. There were torches all around, lighting up the Lu family yard. almost the whole village
All the people gathered here, looking at themselves and the Li family next to them either viciously or with disgust.
"Woo...wow...wow!"
The woman who acted aggressively was the same family that Wang had pretended to be a ghost to scare before. Seeing that Wang had regained consciousness and was still trying to struggle, the woman hurriedly asked Village Chief Wu who was standing aside for credit and said, "Village Chief, you Look, I told you to put this basin of water down, and this old pious woman Wang will definitely wake up!"
Village Chief Wu glanced at Mr. Wang who was being showered from head to toe, and felt that the woman claiming credit was really harsh. Thinking about the large basin of cold water just now, his teeth were chattering, but he also thought about the recent hauntings in the village. The incident was all caused by these two unlucky women, who were furious at each other. Neither of them wanted to say anything. They turned to Chu Ping, who had just frightened the man and fainted, and said, "Your family When will grandpa and your cousin’s family arrive?”
Chu Ping thought for a moment and said, "It should be soon. My grandma, grandma, and cousin must have been pulled here in a bullock cart. As for my grandpa and cousin, they are closer, so it should be soon. Hey, this No one is here!"
As Chu Ping was talking, he saw the villagers who were waiting to see the excitement in the courtyard of the Lu family made way. Uncle Chu's family of four hurried in, leaving only Yuan at home to take care of Chu Zhi and Chu Mingxuan.
Grandpa Chu was still confused when he was woken up from his sleep. He thought it was another fire in his backyard. Unexpectedly, he got up and opened the courtyard door, only to be told by the villagers who came to call him that the village chief and the clan chief They were asked to quickly go to the Lu family at the end of the village. It was only then that the Chu family discovered that the Wang family and the Li family were not in their yard at all in the middle of the night!
"Village chief, chief! What's going on? Why are you tying up my eldest daughter-in-law and grandson's daughter-in-law?"
Faced with Grandpa Chu's question, Village Chief Wu just waved his hand and said, "Brother Chu, I'd better go ask them myself and ask them what they did!"
Then someone took off the cloth stuffed in the mouths of Li and Wang. As soon as Wang could make a sound, she cried out in a trembling voice: "Dad, Ah Ren, untie me quickly, I'm freezing." died!"
Mrs. Li was more aware of the current situation of the two of them than Mr. Wang, so she did not dare to make too many mistakes, and even her voice was much lower: "Ms. sir..."
As Mr. Chu approached, he naturally noticed the white robe and disheveled hair that Mrs. Li was wearing. He frowned and asked, "What did you two do? You asked the villagers to tie you up in the middle of the night!" "
"We, we..."
"They paid people to spread rumors about their ancestors' dreams. If that wasn't enough, they bribed the Liu family to pretend to see ghosts. Then they pretended to be ghosts and scared people, making the whole village panicked!"
The speaker was Chu Yi, who had just picked up his grandfather and his wife in person: "I did all this just to disrupt my money shop!"
Before Uncle Chu's family could give any reaction, the surrounding villagers started talking: "What I said, after all this trouble, it turned out that it was for the sake of the young couple's business!"
"No, you are really wicked. You will do anything just for a little money!"
"I'm just telling you, I've been using the paper money sold by that young couple for so long. Why was everything fine before? It turns out the trouble is with them!"
At this time, Mrs. Wang couldn't even admit her guilt, so she shouted at the top of her lungs: "You fart, I didn't do it! Stop throwing dirty water on me, today is the trap you Chu Yi set for us." , you did it on purpose! You deliberately called the Lu family today to go to the grave, right? You probably asked them to hang out in front of my house because you deliberately set it up!"...
Chu Yi admitted generously: "Yes, I did find the Lu family. Then I dare to ask, why did my mother-in-law come out of the window of the Lu family dressed like this at night when she saw the Lu family using paper ingots to go to the grave?"
Seeing that she couldn't explain what happened tonight, Mrs. Li simply evaded the important and ignored it. She only admitted that she was here to scare the Lu family, but she didn't admit what happened before: "I...we were with the Lu family. I have a grudge. I heard that it has been haunted recently, so I deliberately tried to scare the Lu family!"
Chu Yi continued calmly: "Does the Lu family know what the grudge is?"
Lu Jin also said: "I also want to know what kind of grudge my family has against yours, which made you pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare people!"
"This, but, it's just some little motorcycles
Damn it, I just can’t get over it! "
Chu Yi looked up at the sky, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to mess around with the Wang family and the Li family. He turned around and bowed to the village chief and the clan chief: "My Chu family split up before and finally split up again. I think the villagers must Everyone knows that I am not afraid of everyone’s laughter today. In the final analysis, it is all about money, especially after my wife and I made a paper money transaction!"
Grandpa Chu saw that Chu Yi came up and started to expose his family. He was furious. He stepped forward and pulled Chu Yi's sleeves and cursed: "How dare you say that, you unworthy descendant! You are such an unscrupulous thing that you even disrespect your own elders for money. You shut up!"
Chu Yi laughed contemptuously: "Elder? Do you mean the elder who stole my grandma's belongings, or the elder who tried to help his son steal his grandson's business? If I remember correctly, grandpa, on the day of your birthday party, we The two families have been completely severed!"
Grandpa Chu was so angry that his breath was stuck in his chest. He couldn't go up or down, and his face turned red from holding it in. Chu Ren hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Chu Yi, this is your grandpa, how did you say that?" !」
"He is your grandfather, but to me, he is no longer your grandfather!"
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he ignored Uncle Chu's jumping family and continued to state all the evidence of Wang's crimes: "What I said to the village chief and clan chief are all facts. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to confront you, or even report it to the county government. Officer, please come and check!
The Wang family first gave money to the Yu, Zhao... families and asked them to spread rumors throughout the village that their ancestors had dreamed of using my family's paper to burn paper, and they would be punished. Then they went to the Liu family and asked them to pretend that they had used my family's paper money. Later, when I saw that some villagers were still doubtful, I continued to pretend to be a ghost with Mrs. Li. The purpose was to scare those who used my paper money, so that my paper money business would be completely ruined!
The white robe on Li's body is proof. Who would wander around in a white robe in the middle of the night? Everyone has witnessed what Wang and Li did just now. They are the ones who are pretending to be ghosts and scaring people everywhere in the village!
The bag she was wearing was made from the Liu family's filial piety cloth. It was the same one the Liu family wore when they first used it to pretend to be ghosts and spread rumors! The Liu family was haunted that day, and the neighbors also said they saw a white shadow running out, and it was the Liu family pretending to be themselves!
That's not all, Mr. Wang also stole my family's paper money mold. It should be in his shop now. The village chief and patriarch can ask someone to search for it now! "
Only then did Wang finally understand. It turned out that Chu Yi and Shen had long known that they were behind these things. They had done it on purpose and dug a hole for themselves to jump into!
"Village chief, clan chief! I was wronged! They deliberately dug a hole for me to jump into!"
