Chapter 2: The beautiful woman is wronged
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!
Under the exterior wall of Dongzhimen, there is a wasteland full of weeds.
The stars are scattered on the day, and the mottled moon is shining. This is the curfew in Beijing. The people turn off the lights and rest on their own.
As we hit the distance, a rustling sound rang out, which was quite harsh under this silence.
Dingdengdengdengdeng!
Four men in white were carrying another man on their shoulders and walked quickly, with steady steps. From the gap between their legs and feet, you can see that they have great skills. Just looking at the four men's steps, they gradually approached:
They are four paper letterers!
He was tall and big, burly but looked very stiff, and was running with another paper man!
It was not until I got closer that I could see clearly that these four paper men had white faces and black hair, eight feet of body, and were made of paper. They were carrying a paper man towards Dongzhimen. The face was bloodless, scarlet lips, and their eyes were carved into a pair of big black holes, godless and mysterious. The paper man's hair was floating in the wind, and it was really dead hair!
Before we could take a closer look, the four paper men had already carried another paper man to the wall. Only a crisp sound of white paper was heard, and the four paper men untied a rope from their waists.
Whoosh swosh swosh swosh
Four ropes fly and hooks hang on the wall, but the skill in the hand is so skillful, like a living thief. The miserable moonlight makes people feel chilled.
Flying on the wall, four paper men carried the person being carried. Without saying a word, they could not see clearly. They had their heads hanging down, and a few paper men entered the city.
···
In the early morning of the next day, the daylight was not yet wide, and there were still a few sparse and residual stars adorning the white belly.
Chen Mansion, this is a luxurious mansion, located in the area where Dongzhimen came in hundreds of feet away. It is not as colorful as flowers, but it has a quiet and elegant little scenery.
The master of this family is Chen Mingshi. He is a famous salt merchant in the capital. He sells food and grass and is approachable by nature. However, Mr. Chen has not slept very peacefully recently and always gets up in shock before dawn.
The same is true today. A chaotic nightmare disturbed Qingyou and he could no longer sleep.
As if he was still awake, Chen Mingshi sighed, and he seemed to be unable to sleep anymore, so he was about to get up.
As soon as I turned my head, I couldn't see anything in front of the bedroom door. I screamed, and Shang was still a little sleepy. He rubbed his eyes a few times before looking at it.
It didn't matter when he saw it, his face turned pale and he was completely sleepy. He sat up from the bed, hit his spine and felt a sensation. He trembled his fingertips and pointed to the front.
There is a paper woman in the room! She is sitting at the door and laughing at herself!
"ah!!!"
Chen Mingshi had just shouted a half sentence and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, not daring to make a single word. The atmosphere just frozen.
He stared at the paper-telling woman in front of him, and the strange angle of the corners of his mouth seemed to mock him, his eyes were pitch black. The more he looked, the more he became more and more afraid. Chen Mingshi turned down from the bed at a loss, fell softly on the edge of the bed, and said in a trembling voice:
“Yes…Who is it?”
The paper man couldn't speak and still looked at him. Although he saw that the sky was about to brighten outside, the paper man in front of him leaning against the door and sitting here was really suffocating. He sturdy his courage, but he didn't call the servant. Chen Mingshi thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and walked forward.
When Chen Mingshi came to the paper letter, he said:
This is just a paper man, not a living thing. His face is vividly painted, with a bun on his bun, a jingle bell, and leaning against him. Who is the one who lacks great virtue to scare himself so much? If he catches him, he will definitely not be careless.
Thinking of the hatred, Chen Mingshi pushed the paper man, but found that he could not push it. There seemed to be something inside the paper man.
Something was wrong. The paper man was full of bulging things, unlike the paper tributes used for sacrifices during daily funerals and funerals. It was very soft inside, and a cold feeling came out through the paper.
Gently tugging the neck of the paper person, the head of the paper was unable to bear the force, and immediately softened the head. The white paper at the neck where the force reached thorns and cracked, revealing the things inside.
With a thud, Chen Mingshi collapsed on the ground.
A look of horror, the beads of sweat instantly condensed on their foreheads. Chen Mingshi could no longer control his panic and slapped his face tightly, for fear of making a sound.
There was a corpse hidden inside this paper man!
As the white paper was torn apart, the white paper was lost and fell gently to the ground, revealing the appearance of the dead body there:
A woman with hair tied hair, pale skin and red lips. It can be seen that she was a graceful woman during her lifetime, but she seemed to be dying with her eyes open. At this time, she widened her eyes and looked straight at the ground, her crooked body was extremely evil.
No matter how firm the man was, he could not control himself at this time. Chen Mingshi only felt his head roar, and his eyes were about to pop out. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. The dead body wrapped in paper man turned out to be her!
"It's like...you...have you come to seek revenge on me?"
···
The story starts a year ago. At that time, Chen Mingshi had just married and had children under the arrangement of his old father. His career was at its peak. At thirty years old, he was already a businessman in the capital who was "a thin cloud pillar and a purple gold beam" and had a large courtyard and had a prominent reputation.
Although he is kind to others on weekdays, there is a little gap between him and his wife. His wife, Chen, is a stingy and willful person by nature, and it was only when his father made such a marriage.
As the saying goes, after a long struggle for family affection, the couple gradually became alienated. One lived in the west wing room and the other lived in the backyard. They didn’t communicate much, let alone have children. They were both stubborn and refused to retreat. They let their father urged them every day to not continue their incense.
Later, as time went by, Chen Mingshi felt itchy. He didn't want to see his wife's fierce words and deeds. After finishing the family business, he recited poems with his friends and drank and chatted with him. After one or two, he also followed him to the Eight Great Hutongs.
These eight great alleys are famous in the capital, and they can't help but feel sad once they go there. Later, they met a brothel named Wanru in a brothel called Wenrou. The woman is beautiful, beautiful and well-educated. Chen Mingshi was frustrated in love. She was handsome and handsome. She hit it off and the two got along so well.
After a while, the two of them became more and more affectionate, and Chen Mingshi wanted to marry this as a concubine. However, his friend dissuaded him and said that he had a brothel woman less than a year after his marriage. He was not very good at reputation and had a tiger wife at home, so this matter was delayed.
But the world is like no airtight wall, and the love between the two was discovered by Chen Mingshi's wife. Chen was extremely stingy. Although he was not in harmony with his husband, he couldn't stand someone interfering. He found some time and brought his mother's family to gather a group of rogues and rushed to the gentle village to fight with him.
After the fight, Chen Mingshi's old father also learned about this and scolded Chen Mingshi with hatred. He also explained it with reason and moved it with emotion, which completely cut off the idea and dared not contact him again.
It seemed like a loyal and fierce woman who was sold to the gentle place by an official, but after this incident, she was depressed and died soon after.
Before his death, neither of them had met each other. The madam sent someone to hurriedly buried him in the ghost cried grave. Chen Mingshi cried for a few days and stopped thinking about this person.
Unexpectedly, today it was like a corpse that appeared in his room three months later. How could Chen Mingshi not be surprised? He thought it was like he was unjustly humiliated and came to take revenge on his loveless man.
After a while of speechlessness, Chen Mingshi barely stood up, and his figure was still in a daze. He was panicked and confused. After thinking about it carefully, he realized something was different:
Three months have passed, how can a corpse not rot?
When I looked closely, I found that the body was like a strong and pungent smell. I touched it with my fingers and it was a little stiff. It turned out that it was coated with a layer of arsenic sulfur. But my eyes had sunken in, shriveled into a hole, limbs were as hunched and twisted. The pale color of arsenic was revealed between the pale complexion.
I don’t know who gave me red lips. It looks so terrifying.
Chen Mingshi stood up and paced back and forth in the house. Sometimes he frowned and sometimes sighed, turned around to take a look at the current appearance of the old beauty, and burst into tears. He kept tormenting until the sky was bright, but he didn't dare to disturb his servants. Why is this?
It turned out that the court issued a document and had to donate officials routinely this year (the Qing Dynasty had this policy). Too many staff members in the capital were needed to release some officials. Chen Mingshi thought of taking this opportunity to donate some money and become an official, so he could find a job in Tongzhou. In recent years, salt classes were not good, which also saved him from working hard every day.
But it is inappropriate to have some troubles here. In addition, the strange and tragic death that year was like that, because many parties were scattered money, it was not disturbing the government. Now the corpse has reappeared, and the causes and consequences have come to the ears of the government. It is so ominous, not to mention donating officials, I am afraid that even the old things I had to be revealed, and I will definitely be sentenced to be exiled to the army.
"Ye! Who is so cruel? You want to stop me? Don't ask me to know, otherwise you will definitely look good!"
After cursing, Chen Mingshi looked sinister, but he couldn't think of the reason. He just thought that someone was deliberately making trouble for him. He had been thinking about the matter of being an official for a long time. How could he not be angry now that he was stopped? After thinking about it, he made a bad idea: You must never let people know about this matter. You should leave the capital quickly and find the person who harmed him in the future.
I was already meeting in the brothel, and I had a vow to this feeling before, but now I am more important than the future official career and wealth reputation.
Seeing that the old beauty became a mummy corpse and was still covered with arsenic, it seemed that this person had planned it. Chen Mingshi was not fully thought about it in a panic, so he could only grit his teeth and stamp his feet for a while, hiding his body under the bed. He thought that it was late at night and then he wanted to get her away.
As soon as he moved the body under the bed and hurriedly covered it, Chen Mingshi was already sweating profusely and slumped on the bed and thought about it. What he experienced this morning was really terrifying. I have to say that the person who wanted to harm him was really vicious. While cursing, Chen Mingshi was thinking of countermeasures.
It was just when I was sweating profusely that I suddenly felt something under my feet grasping me!
I quickly looked down and saw that I saw the body of Liuru, which was just stuffed under the bed by myself, but now it was half exposed! I stared at my empty eyes and looked straight at me, with my dry and stiff claws holding my trouser legs tightly!
The zombie was cheated in the daytime!
