Chapter 135 Ghost Stories

The mountain wind roared outside, the rain poured down, and the house was pitch black.

Because it has been raining for several days, the yard is full of hydrangeas, soaked by the rain, showing a clear cloud blue, the fragrance is condensed, and a trace of it penetrates the door and window, adding a three-point atmosphere to the originally lonely room .

A group of people sat around the room and told stories one by one.

There are quite a lot of stories about ghosts and ghosts in this era. Axia and Xiaoyao all like to read books. Not to mention they are well-informed, it is not difficult to casually tell a few short stories about ghosts and ghosts. The children are frightened Not lightly, couldn't help but huddled together, clutching at the people around, and there was a sound of gasping for air from time to time.

As for A-Xia, she was not afraid at all, she was always courageous, and she smiled and told a story about a vixen repaying her kindness, which scared Xiao Yao into her arms and trembled, his eyes full of complacency.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I spent the night on the grave once, and I still slept well."

Su Tong coughed and said with a smile: "Yes, don't be afraid, I will tell you a little story to adjust the atmosphere, and I will continue to tell it later."

"I heard this story from a friend of mine. It's true. One year, my friend went back to the hometown with her parents to visit the grave. When she arrived at the cemetery, for some reason, she suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. As she fell asleep, she faintly heard a rustling sound. She was startled, and stood up abruptly, only to see that it was already dark, and there was a man squatting in front of a tombstone, who was wiping the tombstone with his sleeve. dust."

"My friend breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, 'You are also here to worship the ancestors, but I accidentally lost my way, how dare I ask how to go down the mountain?' Unexpectedly, the man turned his head and looked at her, furious, and cursed,' It's all you bastards who don't know the so-called, come and go, dirty the door of my house, and you can't wipe it clean, so just stay and clean the door for me.'"

Speaking of this, A-Xia suddenly felt a gust of wind, and shivered. Xiao Yao was so frightened that his whole body became stiff, and he didn't even dare to move.

A-Xia swallowed, refused to show timidity, still sat with her teeth gritted, her back straight, and continued to listen.

"My friend didn't understand it at first, and stood there in a daze. Then, when the person wiping the tombstone looked up, he saw a blue face with fangs and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. It was extremely scary. She jumped up and ran away. Her hands and feet were limp, and her mind was confused. She didn't know what was going on, so she ran a few steps and circled around, and then came back to the cemetery. Voice."

"But I saw the blue-faced and long-toothed ghost in front of the tombstone just now, wiping his face with a veil, muttering while wiping—"Fortunately, he is a coward, and he will leave as soon as he is fooled. Hey, this tomb robber's job It's really hard to do', muttering, he also picked up the shovel from the ground, bent down and started digging."

"Pfft..."

The group of girls who were holding their breaths were all happy, and the atmosphere of terror faded a little bit, and their spirits could not help but relax.

A Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It's a tomb robber who has been making trouble for a long time."

Su Tong didn't smile, she was holding a candlestick in her hand, covered with a lampshade made of green gauze, which made her face bright and dark, and she lowered her voice, "The tomb robber dug the grave for a long time, and he thought the soil was too heavy. Hard, swearing and digging, suddenly heard a rough sound from the ground—"Who is so heartless, stays up late at night, smashes the roof of my house!'..."

"what!"

Xiao Yao rubbed against each other and jumped up behind A-Xia, A-Xia also shut her mouth tightly and said nothing, her head was numb.

Su Tong leisurely picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, then continued slowly and in a cheerful tone, "The tomb robber was so frightened that he rolled and crawled away. After a while, I The friend saw a black figure emerging from the ground, like a person, that person crawled out, stood in front of the tombstone and picked up the shovel dropped by the tomb robber, and said unhappily—"I finally dug a hole to get in, even clicked I haven’t got any valuable things yet, so how can I let others take advantage of it.’”

The room was silent, and it took a long while before Su Tong laughed, and the other girls were also happy. However, they all said that Su Tong's story was well told, not a ghost story, and asked to tell another one.

A-Xia was so frightened just now that she cringed and felt ashamed, so she rushed over to pester Su Tong, asking her to say one more thing: "This time I will definitely not be scared."

Su Tong smiled. Anyway, he had nothing to do at night, so he followed suit, coughed, and raised his eyebrows: "Then tell me another one. This time it's really haunted. Sit down and listen carefully."

"A doctor went out to see a doctor one night, and it turned out that it was past midnight when he came back. He got into his own carriage and was about to go home. When he walked to an intersection, he saw an acquaintance who seemed to be a bride from the next village, so he invited him to take the carriage with him. , the bride got into the car, the two of them chatted for a while, and continued walking."

"The carriage went on and on, and came to an intersection. A little girl appeared in front of them, and she jumped over and hung on the car and knocked on the door. The coachman drove quickly, and the bride asked strangely: 'Why didn't you let her come up.'"

"The doctor said: 'Not far away is Yizhuang. I just went to a nearby house a few days ago to treat a little girl and her sister-in-law, but they were not cured. The red string was tied by me, just now I saw the little girl's right hand, her right hand, and his right hand has a red ribbon..."

"The bride listened and remained silent for a while, then gradually stretched out her right hand, and said with a sinister smile: 'Is it... just such a red string?"

There was a moment of silence in the room. Su Tong is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. Perhaps it is not a big deal to tell this story from other people's mouths in other environments, but at this moment, Su Tong said it softly. , even A-Xia felt a cloud of yin energy pervading the surroundings, making her back sore and numb, making people dare not turn their heads at all.

A-Xia opened her mouth, and managed to catch her breath, just about to say something—'Dang, Dang, Dang...'

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Axia's body softened and jumped up all of a sudden.

Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly lit the lamp, walked over to open the door, but saw a young man named Ah Fu standing beside his father, confused in front of the door, still in shock, apparently startled by the noise in the room.

"Ahem, that's enough, just a story." Su Tong rolled his eyes to stop the madness of these girls, and then said to Ah Fu, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to my little lady, there are guests at home, sir, please come over."

Su Tong was stunned for a while, but before she could speak, a group of girls in the room had hurried over, closed the door with a touch, and hurriedly packed her clothes and washed her up.

Because it is in his own village, there are usually no outsiders, and it is raining outside, Su Tong is wearing home-made clothes made by himself, which are made of high-quality cotton cloth, plain, soft and sweat-absorbent, very comfortable to wear next to the body, and only covered with a jacket It's a simple tube, straight up and down, and has no other benefits except comfort.

This kind of attire is too simple to be in her own house, let alone meeting guests. A Xia put on rouge for Su Tong, used snails to outline her eyebrows, and dug out a new summer dress for her to dress neatly.

"You are not young anymore, you have to be careful about dressing up. You can't just ignore everything because you are in Qingzhou, not in the capital. Our workshop produces cosmetics to earn women's money. If you dress up If the ones are not beautiful enough, who would believe that the things from our workshop are good.”

Su Tong laughed, and let them go about their business.

Of course she knew this truth, and she cared about her own image every time she went out, even when her family was in trouble, she didn't want to let her describe herself badly.

Dressed up properly and successfully transformed into a very fashionable official daughter in this era, Su Tong supported Ah Zhen's hand, holding an oiled paper umbrella, and followed the boy to the front yard.

It's just that I'm curious, if it's a female guest, Dad must have invited someone to the backyard directly, if it's Dad's guest, then there is really no need to ask her to meet.

After all, Su Tong is now in the age of marriage, so he needs to pay attention to the defense of men and women.

Just thinking wildly like this, I walked all the way to the front yard, walked through the corridor, and saw my father was sitting and chatting with some guests in the viewing fish pavilion.

This fish viewing pavilion was specially built by Su Tong, with running water introduced, and a few carp were raised inside, which were edible. Occasionally, when Dad came to enjoy it, he would also fish here with fishing gear. It's just that such leisure time is becoming less and less nowadays. Dad didn't come to Zhuangzi for several days.

Just as Su Tong took two steps, her footsteps suddenly stopped. Her movements were so subtle that Ah Zhen didn't feel them, but only Su Tong knew how shocked she was.

In the Guanyu Pavilion, sitting opposite her father, besides an uncle with a beard, there was also a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

Su Tong took a deep breath, remembering how much girls in later generations like men who are aggressive, arrogant, cold and handsome. It seems that men are not bad and have no characteristics, so they won't please anyone. , Who didn't admire those tall, rich and handsome people shining in the crowd when they were young?
But after she was really sensible, her preferences changed a lot.

Suddenly, I remembered a passage my father once told her-"Everyone in the world values ​​appearance. If it is a beautiful beauty, everyone will be more tolerant of it. If you want to enjoy the happiness that everyone should have in this world, you must strive to have the best character, outstanding manners, and elegant taste. If you can’t do this, if you indulge yourself more because of defects, that person’s Life will be boring and boring, and it will even lead to destruction."

These words of his father came from his feelings after getting to know Lin Mu. Su Tong has never seen another man like Lin Mu who can turn a blind eye to his flaws.
