Myth resurrection, I became the villain boss

Chapter 258 One Hundred Stories ([-]) - Flying Man

The proprietress nodded with a smile: "Okay, I don't know how many customers would like it?"

The couple who walked into the store were stunned for a moment, then the girl nodded and said yes, the boy looked hesitant, but nodded under the girl's gaze.

Shuten-douji raised his eyes and glanced at the proprietress and the woman in the red skirt, then put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded.

Feng Mian and Jiang Tang looked at each other, not knowing what they bought, and they didn't express their opinions.

The woman in the red dress suddenly became interested, and took a big sip of wine: "Since playing Hundred Stories, playing in the lobby is too boring, and there is no sense of atmosphere at all."

The proprietress stood up: "Everyone, please come with me to the guest room in the back hall."

Saying that, the proprietress closed the door of the store, put up a sign of closure, and then led everyone to the backyard.

Everyone followed her through the quiet backyard and came to a door.

The proprietress opened the door: "Please come in."

This is an empty house, with vases placed in the four corners of the house, and a few fake flowers are inserted in the vases.

In the middle of the room is a claustrophobic space surrounded by screens on all sides. The screens are embroidered with exquisite flowers and landscapes, which are very vivid and lifelike.

After everyone walked into the screen, there were several cushions placed on the ground in front of them, and everyone sat on the floor.

The proprietress took out nine white candles from the drawer of the low cabinet in the corner, eight of them lit two in each of the four corners surrounded by the screen, and the dancing candles should be cast on the white screen.

The other one was lit in the center of the crowd, and the candlelight was printed on the faces of all the people around.

The proprietress was sitting next to the woman in the red dress, the couple was sitting next to them, Feng Mian and Jiangtang were sitting on the other side, and Shuten-douji was sitting alone on one side.

The woman in the red dress fiddled with the loose strands of hair beside her ears: "Then start with me."

Hundred Stories is a folk game in the southern region, similar to some kind of spiritual seance ceremony, and I have seen similar records in books before Fengmian.

This kind of game is generally played in a dark room, and one hundred candles need to be lit. After telling a ghost story, one candle will be extinguished until only one candle is left after telling 99 ghost stories.

According to legend, as long as someone finishes telling the last ghost story and blows out the last candle at this time, evil spirits will be attracted.

Therefore, storytellers are often secretly vigilant in their hearts, not to let themselves be the last storyteller, so under such circumstances, they will stop immediately when there is the last candle left.

Avoid attracting evil spirits when the last candle goes out.

Feng Mian glanced at all the people present, except himself, Jiangtang and the couple, the other three people, Shuten Doji and the proprietress were acquaintances, presumably they were of the same kind.

And the woman in the red skirt also has a high probability of not being human.

A group of evil spirits are playing a game of summoning evil spirits, how strange do you think

As for the remaining couple, they had a human aura on them, but they were also very weird, unexpectedly breaking into this evil den in the middle of the night.

The woman in the red skirt cleared her throat: "The ghost story I want to tell happened a long time ago."

Her charming voice was very clear in the silent room: in the Heian era a long, long time ago, there was a small mountain village somewhere in the southern border.

The people living in the small mountain village are ordinary civilians. They work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, relying on fishing and farming to maintain a plain and fulfilling life.

The nobles all lived in the bustling city, and the villagers only had a chance to take a look at the bustling city every month when they went to the market to sell vegetables in the city.

There is a girl in this small village. Her parents died of illness when she was very young. The little girl grew up relying on the support of enthusiastic villagers.

She is very beautiful, kind-hearted and hard-working. The girl works diligently every day to grow vegetables and water fruit trees.
When she grew up, she was also very enthusiastic to repay the villagers who had helped her before, and often gave them fresh vegetables and fruits grown by herself.

She has a neighbor, and the neighbor's family has always been very kind to her. She treats the couple next door as filial as her own biological parents.

There is a son in that neighbor's family, who is about the same age as the girl. They were childhood sweethearts, and the two had an ambiguous relationship in the process of getting along.

The old couple were very pleased with this. They were very willing to have this hardworking and beautiful girl marry into their family, so they made a marriage between her and their son in the girl's year.

The following year the girl married the couple's son.

Although it was just a poor little wedding, the guests were only some acquaintances in the village, and they didn't even have wedding clothes, but the girl was very happy because she finally had her own little home.

After marriage, girls work harder, honor their in-laws and serve their husbands.

The family spent a warm day.

But one day she found that her husband had changed. He became impatient with her and was unwilling to talk to her too much.

She knew that her husband had changed his mind.

Speaking of this, the faces of the couple sitting next to the woman in the red dress changed, and the girl looked at her boyfriend sitting next to her resentfully.

The boy moved away from Shishi with a guilty conscience, not daring to meet her eyes.

The woman in the red dress went on to say: The husband met a woman who lived in the city when he went to the city to go to the market every month.

The woman was a widow, her husband died, but her family was good, and her family was very rich.

Because the widow's family is very rich, people usually pick up the vegetables and deliver them to the house, so she fell in love with the handsome guy who delivered the vegetables.

Although the boy already had a beautiful wife, he still couldn't resist the charming widow. What moved him most was that the widow said that he was willing to bring him and his parents to the city.

The man was very moved, how could a poor village compare to a prosperous city, so he and the widow came and went to make firewood, and they got mixed up.

The man's wife was very sad after knowing all this. She ran to question the man, but the man slapped her severely, saying that she was no longer worthy of herself.

After the parents-in-law knew all this, instead of teaching the cheating son a lesson, they disliked her for not being able to keep the man's heart, and blamed everything on her not giving birth to a grandson for the family.

And the parents-in-law asked the son to divorce her as soon as possible so that she could be with the widow so that the family could move to the city to enjoy the glory and wealth.

She was very sad, and she didn't know why her husband who was loving before became like this, and she didn't know why her in-laws who loved her like parents before were so unreasonable.

She was unwilling to be divorced and resisted to the death, so her husband killed her on a dark and stormy night and cut off her head.

The husband separated the head from the body and threw the corpse away. After killing the woman, the husband immediately took his family into the city to remarry the widow.
