These days, Lao Yang and his wife are very happy. Their son's business is getting better and better. If this continues, it won't take long for them to buy another yard and prepare for their son's marriage.
But Xiao Yang is not as excited as his parents at all. He has been a little distracted recently. He always felt exhausted when he came home. After eating, his head would hit the pillow and he would fall asleep.
But now he was lying on the kang, tossing and turning, and the woman's face appeared in his mind from time to time.
After these few days of contact, he and the woman were no longer as unfamiliar as before, and they could occasionally talk to each other.
This woman's surname is Zheng, and her name is Zheng Xiuyu.
Her natal family lives in Jinxi County, and she married here.
The man turned out to be a hunter and had lived in the mountains for generations, and that house was their home.
Unfortunately, not long after the child was born, the man had an accident, leaving them orphaned and widowed.
Because when Zheng Xiuyu got married, her mother-in-law didn't agree at all, and now they don't have much contact, so they can only take care of the child alone.
Fortunately, her husband left her some money before his death, and Zheng Xiuyu was a very good female worker. She regularly went to the county to work as a female worker for several wealthy families, so it was not a problem to make ends meet.
Speaking of her meeting with Xiao Yang, it was purely by chance. I don't know what happened that night. Her child had no appetite for anything and cried from hunger without food.
Zheng Xiuyu then went to the roadside to try her luck. She had often seen Xiao Yang passing by carrying a load, and knew that he should be a cake seller.
It turned out that her child liked the sesame cakes sold by Xiao Yang very much.
Zheng Xiuyu felt sorry for her son, so she waited here every day. Whenever she saw Xiao Yang, she would buy one for her son and take it back.
After learning about Zheng Xiuyu's situation, Xiao Yang felt both admiration and distress for her.
A beautiful woman became a widow at a young age. It was not easy to live in the mountains.
Xiao Yang developed a special feeling for Zheng Xiuyu.
It used to be that he was in a hurry to go home after selling the cooking cakes. Now he looks forward to meeting Zheng Xiuyu every day. If Zheng Xiuyu says a few more words to him, he will laugh in his dreams at night.
Even in dreams, I would meet this woman, standing by the roadside with a lantern, waiting with a gentle smile on her face...
Every time he wakes up, Xiao Yang always feels warm in his heart. .
He concluded that he liked this woman and wanted to find her to be his mother-in-law.
Xiao Yang was excited by this idea. This simple young man didn't understand the skills of love.
He thought wholeheartedly that since he had identified the other person, he should be nice to them.
Starting from the second day, Xiao Yang got up earlier and worked harder. He sold the cakes in the afternoon and then bought some children's favorite things to return early.
He could step into the mountains just after dark. After arriving at his destination, Xiao Yang was waiting there.
After some time, Zheng Xiuyu came over again holding a lantern.
The two chatted for a few words as usual. Xiao Yang took out a large bag of food for the children and said with a blushing face: "Sister Zheng, you gave me so much money, I don't know what to say?
"You're just too polite. Don't be like this in the future! From now on, all my cakes are free, and I bought some things today. Let's take them to the children."
After saying this, without waiting for Zheng Xiuyu to answer, he picked up the burden and ran away.
After running out, he couldn't help but look back and saw Zheng Xiuyu standing blankly on the side of the road holding a lantern, still looking at him.
Just like this, a subtle feeling surrounded the two people.
The two of them talked more and more, and one night it suddenly started raining heavily. Zheng Xiuyu hesitated and invited Xiao Yang to her home.
In that damp and dark house, Xiao Yang met Zheng Xiuyu's child for the first time.
The child was only a few months old and looked very thin. When he saw Xiao Yang, he turned his back on himself and opened his little mouth and smiled.
At this point, the relationship between Xiao Yang and Zheng Xiuyu developed by leaps and bounds. After a while, the two had a relationship. Within a few days, Xiao Yang completely understood what love is and what a woman is.
But the strange thing is that after the two were together for eight days, Zheng Xiuyu suddenly fell out with Xiao Yang.
Not only did she not let Xiao Yang touch her again, but she also told Xiao Yang with a cold face that she was not allowed to come to her again in the future, and then kicked Xiao Yang out.
Tell him that he will take the child back to his parents' home tomorrow and will never see Xiao Yang again in the future.
Xiao Yang returned home in despair and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it?
He who had just tasted love couldn't bear this kind of blow.
So the next day he made an exception and did not go out to sell anything. He finished washing up early, took some things to buy for his children and went into the mountains. He wanted to have a good talk with Zheng Xiuyu, and was even ready to propose.
When he walked there along the path in his memory, Xiao Yang was dumbfounded!
There was no house there at all. After searching for a long time, I found a piece of barren grassland and only a large dilapidated tomb.
Xiao Yang seemed to realize something, and he stepped forward cautiously and pushed aside the grass to reveal a tombstone.
It clearly says: The tomb of my beloved daughter Zheng Xiuyu.
At that time, Xiao Yang screamed, ran home in despair, fell down on the kang and never got up again...
After hearing this, Xiao Yang's parents were frightened. Old Yang stamped his feet anxiously: "You are such a confused beast! Where can you find a single woman in the wilderness?
"You clearly met a ghost, and you still did something like that with her? It's just... oops."
Grandpa gave Old Yang a few words of advice, and then asked Xiao Yang: "Now that you already know this situation, what do you want to do?
"Ordinarily, your illness has been cured. I don't think this female ghost wants to harm you. If not, let's forget it!
"Just think of this as a dream!"
"Yes, yes!" Lao Yang and his wife also reacted.
"Son, you have saved your life. Can we stop provoking that female ghost?
"If it doesn't work out, let's sell the house and find another place to live!"
Old Yangtou had even thought about selling the house, but he just wanted to be on the safe side and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
As a result, Xiao Yang knelt down in front of his grandfather when he got to the ground.
"Miracle doctor, since you can cure my illness, you can definitely help me.
"Let me tell you the truth, no matter Xiuyu is a human or a ghost? I just want to be with her.
"Now I also understand that Xiuyu definitely didn't want to harm me and had no choice but to separate from me.
"You have such great ability, you must be able to help me. I beg you, please let us two be together!"
After saying "bang bang," he kowtowed to his grandfather several times.
What can Lao Yang and his wife on the side do?
At that time, the old couple burst into tears and said, "Son, what are you doing, are you so obsessed?
"It's too late for us to hide as living people? How can we be with ghosts?"
But Xiao Yang was so determined after eating the weight that he knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. He asked his grandfather to think of a solution no matter what he said.
He even swore a poisonous oath on the spot that anyone who dared to stop him from being with Zheng Xiuyu would be killed right here!
