True and False Daughters Joined Forces [Metaphysics]

The father-in-law's words made everyone smell the breath of the long-term story, and they couldn't help listening with breathless concentration.

"I didn't expect that the **** Gu that hundreds of people in our Gu village had been waiting for for more than 400 years was actually born outside." The father-in-law sat down with his knees, seeing how kindly the little fatty's eyes were, and how grateful he was when he saw Su Yunshao's eyes , "Thank you girl for bringing it back."

Su Yunshao, who caught the little fat man from the coffin: "..." Just, guilty.

Seriously, it was actually Su Yunshao who brought it back.

If she didn't have the idea of ​​transporting the corpse out of the five ghosts, if she didn't have the eyesight and quick hand to throw the yin and yang Gu out, it would be impossible to catch the little fat man.

Just because the place where the little fat man was caught was the ancestral grave of the people of Gu Zhuang, it was difficult to say such a thing as digging people's graves.

Su Yunshao smiled awkwardly: "Little Fatty met when we went to see the scenery nearby." Well, the scenery of the ancestral tomb is also a scenery.

Father-in-law: "…"

In addition to sighing, even sighing, "There are so many people in our Gu Zhuang who wander around in the Zhuangzi every day, and none of them meet the little fat man, and you met him in one trip, which only shows that you have a fate with him."

Su Yunshao said: That's because you didn't catch up with the speed of the little fat man's escape.

"Father-in-law, why do you say that Little Fatty is a god?"

Father-in-law: "Things have to start more than 400 years ago..."

The Gu Zhuang more than 400 years ago was not called the Gu Zhuang. At that time, it was just a Zhuangzi from a rich family without even a name.

There are many servants living on the Zhuangzi. They are responsible for cleaning and looking after the Zhuangzi. The most important thing is to do farming. The stewards of the Zhuangzi will sell all the grain and tea that are collected from the fields every year to the master.

At that time, the servants who signed the deed of betrayal could be killed by the master at will, and their lives were worthless, and even the children they gave birth to became servants in the village.

When encountering a master with a more generous character, the servants can live a more relaxed life, but if they encounter a more harsh master, their life will be difficult.

Unfortunately, more than 400 years ago, there was a very harsh owner here.

He collected all the money that Zhuangzi had collected into his own hands, and only gave his servants the cheapest and worst rice, no wages, no cotton jackets and quilts. All the clothes to keep out the cold can barely survive the cold winter.

Originally, there were hired tenant farmers in the village. Later, I saw that the owner had been substituting grain for wages, and packed up and ran away overnight. The people who stayed were either those who signed the deed and couldn’t run away, or those who couldn’t get out without money.

When the servant who signed the contract of selling himself died, no one paid attention to it. He was just starving and freezing. No official would accept it. When encountering such a thing, the servants could only lament their bad luck and grit their teeth to endure it.

The servant who couldn't stand it had to make an IOU from the steward to borrow money to buy food and cotton-padded clothes, and after that, the profits rolled in and the profits rolled in. In the end, he had to sell himself to pay off his debts and stay here for the rest of his life.

Year after year, the children of the servants in Zhuangzi grew up.

Among them, there was a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses that looked like flowers and jade. They were beautiful and sweet, and they were well liked by everyone. They were also seen by the owner who came to Zhuangzi to escape the summer.

The master instructed the guards to **** the dragon and phoenix back, and after a few days, they sent back the two who were tortured to the point of death.

That night, the dragon and phoenix threw into the well.

The owner who learned the news was unlucky, so he packed up and rushed to other places early the next morning.

Half a month later, the owner's body was hanged from a big tree in Zhuangzikou. His neck was broken, his eyes were gouged out, his limbs were broken, his life root was chopped off, his body was blurred with blood, and only a face that was still intact could recognize him. identity of.

Is this worth it?

The servants who discovered the corpse wanted to report to the steward, wanted to report to the official, but after thinking about what the master had done, they tacitly concealed the master's death, and hurriedly found a place to dig a pit to bury.

Soon, the news of the owner's disappearance in the summer resort came.

There is a difference of more than 200 miles between this village and the other courtyard where the master lives.

A middle-aged man who has been traveling for a long time is a carriage. It is impossible for him to rush from the summer residence to Zhuangzi without any means of transportation within a few days, so no one doubts the person of Zhuangzi at all. come up.

It's good not to be suspected, but if that's the case, how did the master come to Zhuangzi, and how did he hang on the tree after being killed?

This behavior looks like a warning to someone, not just to let the body be found.

At this time, some people said that they once saw a dragon and a phoenix walking around Zhuangzi in the middle of the night, giggling, and playing in Zhuangzi as before.

The funeral of the dragon and the phoenix has already been done, how can they still be alive? Could it be that he died too wrongly and turned into a ghost to take revenge?

Thinking of what happened to the dragon and the phoenix before his death, the servants felt that they had encountered such a thing, and it was okay to come back for revenge, so they concealed it.

Yet, somehow, the news leaked.

The master's family sent many guards to dig the pit where the master was buried, take away the rotting bones, beat the servants who buried the body, and the stewards were also fined wages.

The master sent a Taoist priest again. The Taoist priest said that as long as the corpse was destroyed, the ghost would be wiped out without a source of support. He instructed people to dig up the tomb of the dragon and the phoenix, and expose the two corpses to the scorching sun. Whip corpses, smash bones and ashes.

The parents of the dragon and the phoenix saw with their own eyes that their children who died tragically were subjected to such abuse after their death. They were heartbroken and powerless. They complained that God was so unfair to them, hated the world for not allowing people to survive, and hated themselves for not being able to protect their children.

The father went to kill the Taoist priest with a machete at night. After being caught by the guards, he was beaten to death. He climbed halfway and died. The next day, he was carried home by the passing servants who got up early to work.

When the mother suffered the tragic deaths of her children and her husband one after another, in despair and grief, she hugged her husband's body and threw it into the well, which was the same well as her children.

It is said that she was wearing white clothes before her death, and once sat at the wellhead and pointed to the sky and cursed: "Good people don't live long, bad people live for thousands of years, God, you are blind! You don't deserve to be this day!"

After that day, Zhuangzi experienced torrential rain for three days in a row, and the surging well water flushed out the bodies of the husband and wife. The bodies that had been soaked in water for three days were still the same as when they had just died.

The servants all said that the murderer was not punished and the grievances were not redressed, that's why this was the case.

They helped to dig a pit, buried the husband and wife, and buried them next to the graves of their children, which was more or less a family reunion.

The tragic death of a family of four cast a heavy haze on Zhuangzi.

Who can guarantee that he will not have a beautiful son or daughter in the future? Who can guarantee that Zhuangzi will never meet a harsh and lecherous master again in the future?

Lips die, teeth are cold, rabbits die and foxes are sad.

Since then, strange things have happened frequently on Zhuangzi.

Some people eat earthworms but say it is delicious noodles, some people eat worms but say it is sweet candy, and some people wear straws and say it is a beautiful wedding dress, everyone becomes abnormal.

Hearing this, Su Yunshao knew that the family of four who died unjustly and tragically came back for revenge, and... There are many logical loopholes in this story.

If it weren't for the fear of disturbing her father-in-law's way of telling stories, she really wanted to ask why some people saw that the mother-in-law committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, and let their husband and wife's bodies soak in the well water for three days?

Don't all the people in Zhuangzi use the water from that well? Even so, should the body be fished up first?

Su Yunshao forcibly resisted the desire to complain, and covered the mouth of Yunxiao Yunting, who had turned into a bracelet, which was about to complain: Don't say it, endure it.

Yunxiao Yunting: "..." OK.

Taoyao took a deep breath: OK, I will endure it!

Father-in-law didn't notice that something was wrong with Su Yunshao, and was still telling the story.

There is a servant in Zhuangzi who can see ghosts. At first, he said that he saw the ghosts of dragons and phoenixes wandering in the village. After the strange incident happened, he said that he saw a family of four lying at the window of each household peeking and listening.

At first, no one knew what the family of four was going to do, until someone said, "Could it be that they were looking for the whistleblower?"

If there were no people in Zhuangzi to inform, the owner would not have known that the owner died here, and would not have found the place where the body was buried so accurately.

For the sake of Zhuangzi's tranquility and for their own safety, the servants gathered together to investigate the day the master's body was found, and the informer must be found out.

A whistleblower can kill a family of twins today, but who can guarantee that he will not murder others for his own benefit tomorrow? No one wants to have such a stabbing person behind him.

On this village, every servant has an allotted field, and there are neighboring servants watching. If anyone is not working, they will be able to find out.

Under close investigation, the whistleblower was quickly discovered.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a six-year-old child. When I asked him, he only said: "I want to live."

Under the strict policy of the master, the servants here eat less, dress less, and work more.

The boy's father and brother died like this, but he didn't hate the master who killed his relatives, and he didn't think about getting rid of his status as a slave, he just secretly ran to inform.

There was news about a pair of very beautiful twins in Zhuangzi, and he also told the lecherous master. For this reason, for the first time in his life, he ate all-you-can-eat roast chicken, roast duck and fish that he only had in his dreams.

Although his stomach, which had not eaten meat for a long time, was not used to the sudden big fish and meat, he vomited and had diarrhea for several days and lay in bed for several days, but he could not forget the feeling of fullness.

In the boy's memory, there was not a day when he was full and warm.

In summer, he can wear his older brother's old clothes to go outside. In winter, he must put on all his clothes and hide in bed with his parents and brothers to keep warm to avoid freezing to death.

His grandparents, grandparents and elder brother died of starvation in order to leave him with little food. The appearance of death was terrifying.

The boy had seen people who starved to death, and knew what it was like to be hungry.

He doesn't want to die, he just wants to live well, and it doesn't matter even if he betrays others.

Who makes everyone in the same situation, he needs to worry about what to eat every day, whether there is enough food for the winter this winter, and the twins can laugh so happily every day?

Envy and jealousy.

The servants could not tolerate a child with such a vicious mind at such a young age to continue living in the village, but it was really impossible for them to kill him.

The boy's mother knelt on the ground, kowtowed her head and begged bitterly, "He's only six years old, he's still a child, he doesn't know anything, I beg you to let him go, what's wrong with me as a mother! Yes! His father and I didn't let the child have a full meal before he did something wrong, you hit me and punish me!"

Many servants were moved by these words, and the people living in this village were all the same.

They get up and work every day before dawn. They can rest only after dark. They have worked hard for a whole year and can't make the whole family have a full meal, forcing their children to do evil things for the most basic food.

When everyone was in danger, Zhuangzi's steward stood up.

He said: "His father and brothers are all dead, and it's really difficult to rely on his mother to make a living alone. Let's put him in a mill, let him grind tofu for the whole village, and at the same time Grind his xinxing, and I will be responsible for his food."

The stewards and their husbands are kind-hearted, and when they encounter those who cannot survive the winter, they will lend them some food, which will be repaid in the coming year. The life of a steward is only better than that of ordinary servants. How can the servants let them both afford the food of a child who has no relatives and no reason?

In the end, under the discussion of everyone, it was agreed that the food would be provided by the boy's mother, but only one meal a day would be given, so that he would not starve to death.

Unless he realizes his mistakes in the future and corrects his wrongdoing, he will have to stay in the mill as a donkey for the rest of his life. At that time, the donkey was covered with a black cloth, and the donkey was used to pull the stone and grind tofu.

In this way, the six-year-old boy was locked in, covered with black cloth like a donkey, and grinding day and night in the small mill.

The steward couple had to take care of such an older Zhuangzi and so many servants on Zhuangzi. The two were very busy and could not spare more time and energy, so they let their daughter, who was only one year older than the boy, also the only daughter of the couple. Shan Er goes to the mill to deliver meals once a day.

And this is also the beginning of the source of the 400-year-old calamity that has been brought to all villagers in the entire gu village.
