Chapter 351 Talking about a living wife
Lao Xu wiped away his tears in embarrassment, and lay in the corner of the elevator holding his head in despair.

This is Lao Xu’s story.
Whether it's 'buying a wife' or 'only half the body', it's very different from what I imagined.

The purchase is not a real purchase, and the wife is not a real 'person'.

I pondered for a few seconds and asked aloud:

"Is your name Tan Sheng?"

When Lao Xu heard me calling his name, he forgot to cry for a while. He scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect when he had seen me:

"Yes."

"How do you know my name? Have you met me before?"

Seeing that Lao Xu must have guessed, I instantly breathed a sigh of relief——

Yes, that’s right, just call it Tansheng.

Xu talks about life, life, and wife.

If I remember correctly, the name of this kind of ghost is "Talking about the Wife"!
Historically, the ghost of "talking about having a wife" appeared more than once in miscellaneous short stories such as "Taiping Guangji" and "Sou Shen Ji".

Every time it appears, it is often accompanied by the name 'Tan Sheng'.

Yes, 'Tan Sheng' is also a name, and it's also a person.

The reason why ghosts like "Talk about Life Wife" were given this name is because this kind of ghost only acts as a "Talking about Life" wife.

The earliest record in history about talking about having a wife says:
[During the Chen Dynasty, there was a scholar named Tan Sheng.

He was forty years old and had not married yet. He often read the Book of Songs in the middle of the night to express his feelings.

In the middle of the night, a woman of fifteen or sixteen years old came. Her appearance and clothing were unparalleled in the world. She was chatting about the couple and said:

"I am different from other women. I don't need the hassle of marriage, and I sincerely marry you."

"It's just that I have a small request, that is, don't shine fire on me after marriage, and don't watch me sleep. We can become a real couple in three years."

Tan Sheng promised with all his heart,

They became husband and wife and gave birth to a son two years later.

Tansheng waited for the woman to fall asleep at night and secretly took photos. He found that the flesh above the waist looked like a human being, and the bones below the waist.

The woman woke up and found that her husband had seen her and said:

"You failed me."

"I was originally the daughter of the Lord of the Underworld. My father has promised me that I can return to the Yang and reshape my body. I was already happy. But because of you, I lost the opportunity and can no longer return to the Yang. Why are you Can’t we wait another year?”

He regretted talking about life and tried to keep the woman again and again, but the woman still insisted on saying goodbye with tears and left as a result of the evil plot.

Tan Sheng took care of the family until his children grew up and no longer needed him, then he relaxed and tried his best to pursue his wife.

Although Tan Sheng is old, he has deep blessings. After several opportunities, he was finally chased to the underworld by Tan Sheng.

The woman did not expect that Tan Sheng would come after her. She was so shocked that she burst into tears and said:

"Why are you bothering?"

Tan Sheng was already old at this time, and the underworld was very dark. He was about to die in Wangchuan soon, but he still asked:

"Daughter-in-law, I don't regret it. I just want to see you before I die. But I have thought about it for a long time and I just don't understand. Why me?"

This question is naturally about why the woman chose herself as her husband in the first place.

The beautiful woman knew what her husband was thinking, so she cried and said again and again:

"You idiot, why are you still thinking about this when you are about to die?"

"Actually, I lied to you before. The prince and the daughter were all lies." "I am the child of a little ghost soldier and a living person. I was born half human and half ghost. I was raised for several years. I don’t know why most of the flesh on my body has fallen off.”

"At that time, my clothes were covered with bones. I was called a monster and ostracized everywhere."

"Only a few brothers saved me when my bones were almost shattered. I even lost my eyes at that time. I only heard other people calling the man who saved me 'Tan Sheng'."

"So I thought at that time, I must marry Tan Sheng."

"I entered the underworld, met my biological father, and felt unwilling to do so, so my father promised to give me a chance."

Tan Sheng listened blankly to the woman's words, feeling bitter and happy at the same time:
"Fortunately, that person is not me, otherwise you would be sad if I died."

"Nothing, nothing, the sky is clear today, I will die without regrets, you can go and continue to talk about life."

After saying that, he breathed his last.

The woman cried heartbrokenly. After her husband died, she learned that talking about life had been a long journey, but the deal was already done. No matter how sad the woman was, she could only accept her fate.
In fact, he didn’t accept his fate.

She herself wanted to talk about life, and talk about life also asked her to find talk about life, so she loved talking about life forever and ever.

But as to whether she loves a person or a name, no one knows. 】

This old Xu is named Tansheng, so it is very reasonable for Tansheng's wife to entangle him.

But by chance, the experience and character of this Tan Sheng turned out to be exactly the same as those of the previous Tan Sheng.
It's really touching.

At this stage, it seemed that Lao Xu was really innocent. Looking at the clear shoe prints on his face that I stepped on, I felt a little embarrassed for no reason:
"Um"

"Your wife is a ghost. If you find out now that she is a ghost, she will leave. Don't worry."

Lao Xu was stunned for a moment and washed his face with tears. After a long time, he moved his head up and down slightly, which was regarded as a nod and gave up.

Lao Xu and Tan Sheng's wife are on different paths, and Tan Sheng's wife will also look for the next Tan Sheng's wife.

There should be no intersection between these two people.

I went over the other person's story, and since I was really talkative, I asked one more question:
"What's going on with your neighbor?"

I can introduce a ghost to Lao Xu as his wife, and I can still have a conversation. Is it possible that she is a human?

It's possible, but the probability is as small as the waves rushing through the sand.

Lao Xu seemed to have never thought about his neighbors before. After hearing my question, he subconsciously replied:
"What happened to my neighbor?"

"That eldest brother is a good man. Apart from introducing me to a wife who is not a human being, there is nothing wrong with him at all."

Lao Xu couldn't pronounce the last word 'yes' no matter what.

Think about it carefully, is it really normal for your next door neighbor?

It has been more than three years since he moved here, but he has never seen his neighbor's face at all.

The neighbor who never goes out but stays behind the door, the neighbor who always only opens the door a crack, and the neighbor himself who always only exposes half of his eyes behind the door.
Recalling everything, Lao Xu was so frightened that he couldn't stand up originally, but now he had a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, and he stuttered:
"Probably, probably not?"

"My neighbor is actually quite nice. No matter what I say to him, he doesn't care."

As early as when the other party expressed that he realized something was wrong about having a wife but still refused to give up, I discovered that the other party was the kind of person who would not give up until he saw the Yellow River, so I immediately said:
"If you don't want to use your brain, just tell us about your acquaintance and relationship with your neighbor, and I will use your brain for you."

Lao Xu was robbed of the conversation by me. He was so confused that he didn't refute. He thought about it again and again, and then said:
"Then, say a few words."

"I met Lao Zhang next door on the first day I moved here."

"I wanted to buy a few bottles of beer to celebrate that day, so I bought some groceries and went home. When I passed by the neighbor's house next door, I was suddenly grabbed by a hand that stretched out from the crack of the door and grabbed my trouser leg."

"The neighbor said to me, little brother, you are back, you smell so good."

Don’t ask me why I know so many strange stories. If you want to know, you can crawl into the author’s dream at night and have a look (I’m sure)
