I light incense to worship the gods

Chapter 53
My college classmate Li Ping, the second sister, is a good example. She may be the weak one. One year when she came home after [-] o'clock during the Chinese New Year, she encountered someone whose heels couldn't touch the ground and who walked without making any sound.

At that time, she was so scared that she ran away and didn't dare to look. So to this day, she is not sure whether what she saw was a human or a ghost.

After dinner together, our family started playing mahjong and watched the Spring Festival Gala at 8pm on time.

I still remember that the Spring Festival Gala at that time was still very good, the skits were still very attractive, and everyone was willing to eat melon seeds together and enjoy the fun of the Spring Festival Gala.

And there will be firecrackers pinging ping-pong-pong outside.

I listened to the noise outside and suddenly thought of Ye Zeyi.

So I left the mahjong table and ran to the hut. Looking at the fireworks and firecrackers that were going off outside the window, Ye Zeyi appeared.

"Today is the Chinese New Year, and I am one year older." I said.

"Yes." Ye Zeyi responded calmly. He was still wearing the black suit I bought, and there was no change. "He is 19 years old, the same age as Hua."

"When I have the New Year's money tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will buy you some new clothes to wear. It's a new year." I said while looking at it.

"Don't you keep it and buy some snacks for yourself?"

"No, it's better to dress you up handsomely. It'll be nice for me to look at." I patted him and joked, "In the summer, I'll buy you a pair of swimming trunks and burn them, and then we'll go to the beach to play. I Look at your figure."

"Haha." Ye Ze raised his eyebrows one by one, "Are you teasing me?"

"Whatever you think." I chuckled.

"Ye Zeyi, tell me a story. Any story will do?" I said calmly.

Ye Ze was silent, maybe he wasn't good at telling stories.

At this time, I saw that there were suddenly many people on the originally quiet street.

They all wore cotton-padded jackets and walked on the street, occasionally stopping for a while at the crossroads.

I looked at the time and it was 10pm.

"Is there any show tonight? Are there so many people coming out?" I muttered to myself, actually chatting with Ye Zeyi beside me.

Ye Zeyi looked out the window, "They are not human."

I opened my mouth, blinked and looked carefully again, and sure enough, it was different from other people.

There is something special about the way they walk, as if they are floating.

Moreover, the clothes they wear are also different in appearance. Some seem to be robes from the Qing Dynasty, some are cheongsam from the National Period, and some are shrouds worn when people are buried.

"What's going on?" I was shocked because there were too many ghosts outside.

They all seem to be looking for something.

"They are also looking for their way home." Ye Zeyi said calmly.

The Lunar New Year is also a day of reunion for them.

So on this day, many people who have passed away in your world will come back to visit because they miss the people left in this world.

Hearing what he said, I felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, for ordinary people, even if they come back and watch it, they won't know.

"The thing that each of us is afraid of may be the person that others want to see." I suddenly thought of this sentence and couldn't help but say it.

Ye Ze looked at me sideways, and I looked at him sideways.

At this moment, I saw that unclear look in his eyes again.

"Yes, the ghosts that people are afraid of are actually the people that others want to see again." Ye Zeyi sighed, "I thought of a story, let me tell it to you. It is a true story."

"Okay." I sat on the bed excitedly, listening to him tell me this so-called true story.It was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the war, all the men had to go to the army.The male protagonist of this story is Ye Zhuo, and he is a hunter who makes a living by hunting in the countryside.He has a neighbor who has been his childhood sweetheart since childhood, named Han Yu'er.

Originally, the two were going to get married when they were 16 years old.

As a result, when Ye Zong was 15 years old, he was drafted into the army.

Han Yu'er made an agreement with him that they would get married when he came back from a victorious battle.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances.Ming Dynasty lost this battle.

The Qing army entered the pass.

Ye Zhu was recruited into the Qing Dynasty's army.

But Han Yu'er waited for him for 10 years and still didn't wait.

Han Yu'er was already 25 years old at that time.

Her parents advised her to get married, but she refused. She said she was waiting for her brother Ye to marry her.

Finally, because of her good looks, she was spotted by a disciple of the Eight Banners who entered the customs at that time, and asked her to be his concubine.

The sedan chair was carried to the door of the house, and Han Yu'er was forcefully lifted away.

Han Yu'er couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by jumping into a well that night wearing a red bridal gown.

Since then, the mansion of the man who stole the marriage has often been haunted, and Han Yu'er can always be seen standing by the well watching them every day.

And the kid from the Eight Banners who stole the marriage often found his bed soaked when he woke up.

Before long, they couldn't stand it anymore and bought another house and moved away.

Since then, the house has become a famous local haunted house, and Han Yu'er has become a vicious female ghost among the people.

Until another ten years passed.

Ye Zhuo changed from a soldier to a general.

He still remembered what he promised Yu'er, so he returned triumphantly and prepared to marry her.But after arriving home, I heard that Han Yu'er was dead.

He even felt resentful after hearing about Han Yuer's death.

So he found the new mansion of the Eight Banners disciples and slaughtered all their people.

After he finished doing this, he moved into the old house where Han Yu'er jumped into the well.

I heard that he lived in that house for five years.

In the past five years, there have been no reports of the house being haunted.

He always wondered why Yu'er's ghost never appeared in the haunted house after he moved in.He begged his Yu'er countless times to come out and see him.However, Yu'er never showed up.

In the fifth year, General Ye became ill because he missed Han Yu'er. When he was about to die of illness, he used his last strength to jump into the well and sleep with Yu'er.

After listening to the story Ye Zeyi told me, I felt very heavy.In fact, this is a very simple and poignant love story, but I felt very aggrieved when I heard it.

I pursed my lips, with an angry look on my face, "You said, these lovers can't get married in the end. They say God has eyes, so why can't they be together?"

"I want to know too." Ye Zeyi rubbed my head.

I turned my head and looked into his eyes, which were like stars with indescribable stability and tenderness.

"I don't like your story very much, and you said it's true. Your surname is also Ye. Could it be that it's a story told by a relative of yours?" I asked.

Ye Ze nodded, "Yes, the story of my relatives."
