Male Meng Po

Yuanxi City is located very far to the west, with mountains behind it, and the climate is a little bit cold.

There are very few people here, and the entire city is not as big as a district in Kyoto. Fortunately, the population is simple and it is a good thing. It is very easy to find people.

Yama, as usual, summoned the land.

This place is remote and poor, but they believe in the gods very much. Even if they don’t earn much money every day, the worship of the land temple is indispensable. Therefore, the days of the land god here are more comfortable than those in the bustling city. .

And the land god here is different from the land gods in other places. There is only one land woman, but no land man.

Generally speaking, the land god is divided into principal and deputy, the land god is the righteous god, and the land lady is the auxiliary deputy god. Generally speaking, the land god is summoned by the gods of all walks of life. An old woman with white hair.

Hades was puzzled when he saw her appearing: "Why are you, Lord of the Earth?"

The land lady greeted the two gods with a smile, and replied: "There is no land lord here. From the beginning to the end, only my mother-in-law is in charge of this side of the land."

Yuebanqi: "Why?"

"It has something to do with the culture of this land." The land lady smiled and answered Yue Banqi, "This place is located in the far west, and it has been fine for nearly a hundred years. A hundred years ago, because it was surrounded by mountains, it was difficult to get out. There is a set of rules and principles. People here respect women, and the seniority and oldest old woman in the family is the head of the family, not the man. Therefore, most of the gods worshiped are women, and among the land gods, there is only one little fairy land woman. Here, the Lord of the Earth cannot get temples and worship. Seeing that Xiaoxian can manage this small square inch of land well, the Heavenly Court did not set up the god of the Lord of the Earth here. Even though roads have been built for nearly a hundred years to communicate with the outside world , abolished the old rule that women are respected, but the gods worshiped have been a tradition for thousands of years and have not changed."

"Oh." Knowing the reason, Hades didn't bother to care anymore, and only lazily responded to the landlady's long series of detailed answers.The God of Earth belongs to the Heavenly Court and is not his subordinate, so he doesn't care.

"We are looking for three people." Yan Wang said, "They should have been here in the past few days. Do you have any clues?"

The landlady was startled, with a strange look on her face, and asked, "Could you be talking about a woman named Wang Yu?"

Yan Wang immediately understood in his heart: "Miss Shouxian has come."

The land lady smiled and said: "As expected of His Majesty the King of Hades, I knew it immediately. It is indeed the Shangxian, and she is too polite. It is just looking for someone, Xiaoxian must know everything, but she specially brought the wine she brewed I gave some to Xiaoxian. Even the queen mother praised Shouxian's wine, do you want some too?"

Yan Wang sneered: "No need, you should keep it well, maybe this wine is out of print."

The landlady looked at Hades blankly, not quite sure what he meant by this tomorrow.

Yue Banqi sighed slightly in his heart, he understood Xuanji's meaning, he meant that in the future, Tianting might not have this Shouxian empress who is good at brewing wine.

Without Empress Shouxian, wouldn't the wine she brewed be out of print?

However, to be able to chase all the way here, Magu also has some skills.

Unfortunately, it seems too late.

Yue Banqi: "When did the three of Wang Yu arrive?"

The landlady said respectfully, "It was exactly ten days ago."

Yan Wang: "Where is the Shouxian Empress?"

The landwoman said, "Three days ago."

Yama: "What have they done since they came here?"

This question made the landlady a little embarrassed, she thought for a while and said: "The three of Wang Yu lived in a house far to the west of the city. That house belonged to them, but it was a long time away from here. It has been in disrepair for a long time. After they came, they just found some people to repair it. As for the longevity fairy..." The land lady shook her head and said: "I am a little fairy, how can I stare at the Shangxian who came from the heaven. Even if you want to take a peek, you will be noticed by that Shangxian, so Xiaoxian doesn't know where Shouxian Empress has gone after entering the city."

"You said that house belongs to them?" Yue Banqi asked quickly, "Are they from here?"

The landlady nodded: "Yes, they left ten years ago, and they lived here all the time before that. The house belonged to Wang Shan'er, that old woman. She and the concubine look like grandparents and grandchildren. One, in fact, the girl-like concubine Wang is older."

Hades: "The cause and effect, let's talk about it in detail."

The landlady sighed and explained the matter clearly from beginning to end.

In fact, Wang Yu is not a local. She came to this remote city with a man, and that was 100 years ago.At that time, there was a flood in the south of the country, and people everywhere were in dire straits. Many people fled to other places to live and settle down. Wang Yu came to this small Yuanxi City with a man surnamed Li.

At that time, Yuanxi City was smaller than it is now, but because there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters living here, and life was stable, the population was still thriving, and it was quite tolerant to the arrival of outsiders.Wang Yu and the man surnamed Li quickly found a piece of land on the edge of the city, built houses, and reclaimed the land.

The man farms and the woman weaves, peaceful and happy, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the life of this young couple is simple and happy.

In fact, the landlady who sees everything in her eyes doesn't think so.

Men treat Wang Concubine very badly, whether life is going well or not, they will insult Wang Concubine, and if they drink too much, they will punch and kick.The words that come out of the mouth are also very ugly, and it is not perfect to dislike Wang Yu inside and outside the words.

The landlady couldn't stand it anymore, so she had several dreams, warning the man not to humiliate his wife like this, but unfortunately it didn't work.The man doesn't respect gods or believe in Buddhism. When he wakes up, he spits, thinking that the bad luck brought by Wang Concubine made him have a nightmare, and when he turns around, he will beat Wang Concubine severely again.

Wang Yu didn't say a word, and accepted everything.

In desperation, the landlady entrusted the dream to the wife in charge of the neighbor's village, hoping to help.

Of course, those wives believed in God very much. After realizing that they were not the only ones having this dream, they immediately made an appointment to come to Wang Concubine's house to ask for clarification.But a man is a good pretender in front of outsiders, serving tea and water to Wang Concubine, he is very attentive, and he looks like a peerless husband-in-law.The rules here are different from those of the outside world. The words of the wives are very powerful, but unfortunately Wang Concubine denied them all. Her acting skills are not bad at all compared to men. The role of the beloved wife is so good that even the landlady almost believes it.

Outsiders are not allowed to meddle in other people's family's private affairs, so what if they know that Wang Concubine is being abused in private, she clearly doesn't want you to meddle.What's more, no matter how you look at it now, there is no sign of abuse.

Helpless, the people who came here had no choice but to go back home.

The so-called interpersonal communication is communication when there is communication. Wang Concubine and the man closed their doors and did not deal with others. Gradually, it was as if they were isolated, and no one wanted to talk to them.

Men are naturally happy to see the results. It has become a habit and a pleasure to beat Wang Concubine every day.

"I've been sighing for what happened to that woman, and I can't argue with her anger." The landlady changed her words, "But I found out later that I was wrong. That woman named Wang Concubine is really ruthless."

Yuebanqi: "Could it be..."

"She killed that man." The landlady said, telling the events of the year little by little, the woman's methods made even a god like her shudder.

It was the New Year at that time, even in such a small and remote place, it was advocated to stick window grilles and set off firecrackers.

On the night of New Year's Eve, every family is having a festive New Year's Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers.Taking advantage of the loud sound of firecrackers outside, Wang Yu set up a big pot, melted all the tin utensils, tied the sleeping man to the bed, first gouged out his two eyeballs with a sharp knife, and then cut off the underside of him. stuff, finally opened his mouth and poured molten lead into his mouth.A living person was tortured to death on New Year's Eve.

And no matter how he cursed, cried for help, or yelled, they were all drowned out by the sound of firecrackers, and no one could hear him.

They killed people, burned them clean, and buried their bones under the cooking stove.After doing all this, he burned the blood-stained clothes, put on new clothes for the New Year, cooked on the stove, slaughtered a chicken, and made a pot of chicken soup for himself. Wang Yu sat by the stove , Drink the soup without changing face.

It seemed that killing a man was like cooking a fat chicken to her, it was nothing.

"Thinking about it now, she didn't tell outsiders about her usual sufferings. I'm afraid she had already thought about doing that." The landlady sighed.

Because just a few days after the new year, Wang Concubine called the man's name in the city with an anxious and sad face, making the illusion that he went out and never returned.

Considering that the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, no one doubts it.

Yue Banqi is silent, such thoughts are too scary.

King of Hades: "Such a vicious woman has lived immortality for so long, yet you didn't report it."

The land lady said: "Xiaoxian reported it, but was beaten back. Xiaoxian didn't know what happened to this woman before. She also took some panacea before, and she cultivated the truth. It's just that she lived a few decades longer. It's not bad. Nothing."

Yan Wang's face is very ugly, he should go to the heavenly court and have a good chat with the Jade Emperor.

Yue Banqi asked: "And then?"

The land lady said: "When the man died, Wang Concubine was already pregnant. Six months later, a boy was born. Wang Concubine's husband has never come back, and of course he will not come back. After a long time, it is believed that the man died accidentally. Outside. The rules here are not as strict as the outside world, and the widowed mother is also married, let alone such a beautiful widowed mother."

Yama: "Is she married?"

The landlady shook her head: "No, she clearly rejected all marriage proposals, but she did not refuse any man's approach."

What the landlady said was vague, but Yan Wang understood, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"Her demeanor puts her on the opposite side of most women in the city." The landlady said, "But no one can do anything to her, because she is very smart and has never been caught by anyone. A little gossip. After 30 years, her son has grown up, married a wife, and has a young daughter. Because Wang Yu’s son follows the mother’s surname according to the rules here, the son’s daughter is named Wang Yuan, as you all know, the mother of that gray-haired old woman."
