Chapter 21 Who's fault(1/2)

The surging mist seemed to see the female ghost's past.

The cold wind blew away the thick snowflakes and floated on the red cheeks. Following the father's back in front of me, I walked through the white patch. When I turned around, my home was mixed with the heavy snow and became blurred.

She was only seven years old that year.

The little girl understood many things, but she didn't understand them, so she followed her father to the town, entered a warm and bright hall, let her sit outside and talk to an old man, and there were many beautiful clothes around her, including crowns, gongs and drums, and at the dark door of the house on the other side, a child who was almost the same as her was looking over.

Soon, my father came out with a rustling bag and squatted in front of her.

"Don't blame dad... and don't blame your mother. You are so happy to be here. If you listen to uncle, you will have stuttering. It's better than being hungry at home, do you know?"

She knew she had been sold, her eyes were red and she didn't cry. She followed her father to the door timidly, stirring her fingers, and standing in the wind and snow.

I still couldn't help crying: "Dad! When will you come to pick Yoona?"

My father walked away without saying a word. The old man came over and pulled her in. The old man was not kind and whipped with a slender whip and trained him. The more he cried, the more he beat him, and he stopped until he didn't dare to cry.

Later, she gradually understood the meaning of what my mother said when she left: "Be obedient and sensible outside so that she won't be hungry." The fewer other children in the yard gradually became rare, and some were not suitable for this industry. She was sold to brothels. After two years, she was also sold to a opera troupe in Hegu County.

The original name also became Hong Lian, who opened his voice and sang music, and practiced the basic skills he had practiced in the courtyard. If he was a little lazy, he would beat and scold him. Three years later, when he was twelve years old, he went on the stage to play and sang some small roles, and finally got some small rewards.

Looking at the small wooden box, there were copper coins accumulated, which was her happiest year. Later, because of her beautiful and gentle voice, she was valued by the head teacher. By the age of sixteen, she became a famous actress in the Li family class. Perhaps it would not take long before she could really become a full-time actress.

The money I saved over the years was exchanged for silver, and I specially picked up a good day. I rode a rented carriage and returned to the house I remembered in my childhood, wanting to see my parents and my younger brother.

However, the person who received her was the neighbor next to her family. It turned out that her house had not been repaired for many years and had collapsed. She also knew from the neighbor that her mother died when her younger brother was one year old. In less than half a year, her younger brother fell ill again. Her father Chongxin’s master in the temple donated incense to make the disaster. Her younger brother’s illness was not cured. After being delayed for a long time, he was sent to the town clinic and was unable to make up for the situation.

After the younger brother died, my father woke up and took the hatchet from home to the temple, but was killed by the temple with blood. He was carried back by the villagers and died within half a day.

The people in the temple said that he broke in with his blade first and was beaten as a bandit, so the government would not pursue it.

There is no one in the family.

Hong Lian held the wooden box while listening to the neighbor's story, and cried out in depression. Tears fell on the wooden box one by one. When she left, she left the wooden box for her neighbor and went to the grave of her parents and brothers to kneel for a long time. It was almost dark before she left in a carriage. The village that was gradually moving away was afraid that she would not come back.

When she returned to the opera troupe, she seemed to have grown up, and she was performing happily, and her reputation became more and more popular. More and more people came to support her. The gold, silver and jade hairpins saved in the brand new wooden box became more and more expensive, but they lacked the expectation they used to be. But at least, she lived better than her parents... God gave her a beautiful face and a moving voice, which was given to her. The headmaster Li Yunxiu said that God had given her food and could not even hold the bowl, so don't live.

Not only did she have to have a meal, but the entire opera troupe also had to have a meal. After receiving an invitation from Chen Yuanwai, the entire opera troupe was busy and carefully compiled "Nan Jun's Birthday" as a big drama to suppress the stage.

Hearing the warm cheers from the stage, she knew that the opera was successful. Soon, maybe Fushui County would know her fame.

The famous actress took off her makeup and changed clothes in a small room, humming a small song, and someone drifted past the window, then pushed the door open and came in. She was a drunk scholar who said she liked her.

Hong Lian knew him, and he was Chen Yuanwai’s only son, but he said he liked him when he met him. He pushed the scholar away with both hands: “Young Master Chen, you go out first….”

The scholar refused, looked at no one around, and smiled on his drunken face, rushed over to her and picked her up, threw her to the table, and reached out to untie her pants.

Hong Lian hit him with his hands and kicked over with both feet: "Young master, Hong Lian is just here to sing opera, not a prostitute in a brothel... Please let me go...you go out..."

He begged, kicking the scholar's lower body, and the other party took a step back in pain. Hong Lian jumped down quickly and ran towards the door. He was caught halfway and dragged to the ground.

The scholar who was beaten up was furious and slapped her on the face with his backhand, and his cheeks became red and swollen.

"What's the difference between being an actor and a prostitute in a brothel?! I respect you so much, that's the blessing of your parents!"

Perhaps the pain on his cheeks, or perhaps the name hidden deep in his memory, Hong Lian suddenly used his head to hit the scholar in front of him like crazy.

"ah--"

The scholar who was knocked out of his nose screamed, immediately pulled Hong Lian's head and dragged it to the edge of the bed, picked it up and threw it up, grabbed a Hongling on the costume table, trying to tie the woman up.

Hong Lian struggled and cried, keeping grabbing him with his hands.

"Let me go... Come, save me... Where are you? Save Yoona..."

Fearing that someone would hear it, the scholar covered her mouth and nose with the red lingering and shouted loudly: "Don't shout!" He quickly took off the woman's clothes with his other hand. As soon as he took off the clothes outside, his body that was struggling was no longer moving.

The scholar quickly took away his hands and Hongling.

The woman stared at her eyes, no longer saying anything…

The scholar ran out in panic and found his father with a flushed face and the headmaster Li who was accompanying him. He told the truth and was beaten by the angry old man. The headmaster of the Li family also did not report to the official in front of dozens of ingots.

Directly in the suburbs, a piece of grass swept over Hong Lian's body, threw it in, and buried it.

No one will ever know.

****

The fog surging, and the crowded people fell into silence, which lasted for a long time. Liu Liangsheng was also touched. Without the next move, he just looked at the stage in the distance.

"This female ghost is a little pitiful, it's a pity..." Taoist Toad woke up at some point.

6 Liangsheng raised his eyes and looked at the toad sitting on his head: "Master, she is very pitiful, but what do you mean by saying it's a pity?"

"She... turned into a ghost and took several lives. If she killed another person, she would become a Rakshasa ghost. She would never be reincarnated forever, and even a beast would not be able to do it."

The boy looked at the lonely female ghost on the stage and fell silent.

"God is unfair to her... and even encountering such a thing, he will never even have the chance to reincarnate..."

The centipede spirit tentacles that were pinched in his hand loosened and tightened them.

After thinking for a while, 6 Liangsheng took a breath, his voice was serious, and he spoke to the stage over there.

"Miss, please forgive me if you have to. Today I am here, so I will not allow you to kill anyone. Please leave. If you want to destroy yourself, come here!"

The female ghost figure was floating, not looking at the group of people in the middle, staring at 6 Liangsheng in the cloak, and after a while, he bent slightly.

"I dare not offend Mr. I will not let him go today, but Mr. I will never stay in this small mansion. Once you leave, I will come again!"

"That's also going to happen!"

The female ghost raised her face, glanced at the scholar in the crowd, and sneered a few times: "Mr. Today, I will leave you with my life. After the teacher leaves, I will come to meet Chen Lang in private."

Even after bowing to 6 Liangsheng, his figure slowly disappeared into the fog, and the stage also disappeared. The surrounding mist and the bleak wind gradually stopped.

Everyone sitting on the turf of the flowerbed let out a heavy breath, and the sweat was like water after the gate was opened, and then it kept flowing out.

"My mother, I won't come here again, I will almost die."

Some people screamed, some people stood up, and suddenly spitted at the Chen father and son over there: "It's better than beasts."

"Yes, the father and son are simply disgraceful!!"

"Just report to the official!"

However, Mr. Chen on the other side ignored the condemnation and hurriedly ran to the front of Liu Liangsheng on the rock, knelt down with a bang, and Chen Yaoke kept kowtowing to the ground.

"Sir, please save my life. This is really a fool I did after drinking, and I will never dare to do it again..."

At this time, the fog had dissipated and the voices of maids and servants could be heard around him. Chen Yuanwai hurriedly called someone over, brought five hundred taels of silver, and saluted respectfully.

"Sir, please accept this money."

A piece of white silver ingots were arranged neatly in front of him. 6 Liangsheng was originally here for it, and he did help the father and son, and it was useless to accept it.

I nodded immediately: "I just wandered here and heard that there was a ghost in my life, so I came to see it... It's a pity that I can't stay for a long time, so let's do it."

As he said that, he pulled out a knife he carried with him from his waist.

"This is something I carry with me. I have to wear it on my son, so that I can prevent the evil spirit from coming again, and I will do such a thing that is harmful to the sky in the future."

Chen Yaoke quickly grabbed it in his hand, tied it quickly around his waist, and kept bowing to Liu Liangsheng.

"Thank you for your teachings, sir!" "Thank you for giving this thing to ward off evil spirits!"

"The young student will definitely do more good things in the future!"

Under the shadow of the cloak, 6 Liangsheng looked at him coldly, reached out to hold the plate of silver, injected magic power into the centipede spirit tentacles, aroused the demonic wind and blew over. When everyone was so narrowed that they couldn't open their eyes, they ran away with the silver.

Between a cluster of plants, throw the gray sheet aside, and hide the five hundred taels of silver before coming out.

The crowd of people who were still clamoring and called Liu Pan and others, quietly went over and divided the silver into nine parts and hid it on everyone. When they came back here, there was a noise coming from the front yard. The servants from the courtyard ran over and said that the left captain from the yamen was brought by people.

The sky was dark and the evil spirit retreated at this time. Everyone felt a lot of fear. They were more at ease about the people who came from the yamen and welcomed them one after another.

"Captain Left, you're here just right. It's really haunted here!"

"Yes, yes, that ghost is really powerful. If we hadn't had many people, it would have been a disaster for the Chen family."

However, no one mentioned the origin of the sneaky origin in his words. After all, these people still have to continue to make a living here. Chen Yaoke was arrested, how could Chen Yuanwai let him go?

Zuo Zhengyang frowned and looked at the people talking in a verbal way, so he asked his constable to pull them aside to do detailed transcripts and questions.

Then, standing at the door, staring at each face, exiting the Chen Mansion from front of him.

He was skilled in martial arts. When he was thinking about the Chen Mansion case in the yamen that night, he felt frightened and brought people over. Looking at the expressions of these people going out, he thought that he had indeed had some incredible weird things.

After he had finished his treatment, he found Chen Yuanwai and wanted to continue asking questions, but was refused on the grounds of being exhausted, so he had to take the people back to the county government.

On another street not far from him, a group of nine people searched for an inn and opened a spacious room. Looking at the five hundred taels of silver piled on the table, they kissed and laughed.

6 Liangsheng sat by the bed holding a book, reading the oil lamp quietly.

As time passes, the night becomes deeper.

The Chen Mansion, which had been silent, gradually had a sound of wind. When I walked past the eaves of the corridor, I suddenly heard a faint chuckling from the wind.

"That ghost... I just left and came again?"

"Go and notify the outsider!"

Someone ran away quickly, and the man carrying the lantern saw something flying from afar in Qingming's night sky to the courtyard where Chen Yaoke lived.
To be continued...
