And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 71

"Yes, we are the ghosts of the six skeletons trapped at the bottom of the well."

The old woman among the six replied.

"How long have you been here?"

Chen Yuan asked again.

"We've been here for an hour."

The aging Xu Weng continued.

"Why don't you wake up the poor Taoist?"

Chen Yuan asked six people.

"Don't dare to disturb the immortal elder's rest."

Xu Weng explained.

Chen Yuan said helplessly, "Don't dare disturb the poor man to rest, so he just stood by the bed and waited late at night?"

Fortunately, he is a practitioner and is courageous enough. Otherwise, if an ordinary person wakes up and finds six ghosts standing beside his bed, even if he is not scared to death on the spot, a serious illness would be minor .

"Immortal Chief, please calm down. The main reason is that our family has already been buried in the ground, and we are going to report to the Yin Division soon, so we bother you late at night."

Xu Weng heard the meaning of Chen Yuan's words, and hurriedly confessed tremblingly.

"Okay, don't kneel down, stand up, I'm used to others talking to me standing up."

Seeing what Xu Weng said, Chen Yuan couldn't blame the family of six and said to them.

Seeing that Chen Yuan's words were not polite, the family of six stood up one by one.

"Tell me about how your family died at the bottom of the well and was trapped in the cave at the bottom of the well for ten years? In the past, when the poor man was sleeping at night, he would come to the poor man's room to cry for mourning, but you?"

Now that the ghost appeared, Chen Yuan also asked the doubts in his heart.

"Sir, it's a long story."

Seeing Chen Yuan asking about this, Xu Weng said with a bitter expression.

"There are six members of our family, besides my old wife and me, the eldest son and daughter-in-law, the younger son, and my grandson."

"When the old man was young, he was a well-known local hunter in the countryside. Because of his outstanding skills and hard work, he saved a lot of family money. Later, when the old man got older, because his movements were no longer agile, his physical strength It’s not as good as before, so I stopped thinking about continuing to hunt.”

"I bought a house in the county town, moved the whole family to the county town, and later started a small business in the county town. My life is quite decent, and I have successfully raised my two sons."

"As our two sons grow up and my old wife and I get older, the old man has the idea of ​​planning for the future."

"In order to fear that his two sons would be unfilial in the future, the old man saved a large box of money early on, and planned to hand over the box of money to that son when the son was filial when he was old."

Xu Weng talked about the past in a calm tone.

"What happened after that?"

Chen Yuan gradually became fascinated and asked.

"Immortal Elder, just listen to the old man patiently."

Xu Weng smiled wryly.

"The old man's two sons, the eldest son is diligent, studious, and very sensible. He has taken over the family's business since he was a child and helped the old man. The second son is not doing his job all day long. He has taught himself some martial arts. He likes to be brave and ruthless. He hangs out with his friends. Fooling around, not returning home for ten days and a half months is the norm."

"That's why the old man and the old wife arranged a marriage for the eldest son early on and let him get married."

"We feel that the second son's personality is not calm enough, and he is not suitable for a married life. No matter if we tell him about the woman, it is harming him. We plan to wait for him to reform, and then talk about marriage for him. The family has planted the root of disaster."

"I don't know when, the second son felt that our old couple was eccentric, and I don't know where he learned about it. Our old couple accumulated a lot of money."

"He felt that the money that our old couple had accumulated was for the eldest son. Later, he asked us for money from time to time, but we naturally didn't give it."

"Later, the second son simply disappeared. We searched everywhere by ourselves and our trustees, but we couldn't find it."

"After three years, the second son came home suddenly, and we found out that he had turned into a bandit and became a bandit."

"I was so angry that I beat and scolded him, but he said that our husband and wife were eccentric, which caused him to fall into such a situation, and then he became angry and wanted to kill us."

"During the quarrel, my old wife and I were beaten to death with his fists. His brother-in-law, nephew, and elder brother who just came back all died at the hands of this wicked man. After killing us, he came to his senses. But it’s too late to regret.”

"So they threw our corpses into the ancient well in the courtyard one by one, and then threw ourselves into the well to die."

Xu Weng told the whole story exactly.

"After he killed your family, why did he bother to throw the body into the well?"

Chen Yuan asked the key to the story.

"He said that he felt that we are still a family like this."

Xu Weng turned around and glanced behind him, there was a tall man with disheveled hair, he smiled wryly.

"But after you died, when the yamen searched the house, why didn't they find your bodies? In addition, when Pindao found the bones of your family, they were in a man-made cave at the bottom of the well, and it didn't seem like they fell naturally. went down?"

Chen Yuan asked two other questions.

"The reason why the yamen didn't find the bodies of our family when they searched the house was because we all died wronged at that time, and the grievances in our hearts had not dissipated. We all sank to the bottom of the well, and our bodies did not float up, so we were not found by the yamen. .”

"In addition, it was the old man's nephew who put the bodies of our family in that cave."

"After our family died, the right to inherit this house fell into the hands of the old man's nephew. After he inherited the house for a while, he discovered the bodies of our family sunk at the bottom of the well, and the old man's hidden body. A big box of money at the bottom of the well."

"He was afraid that after moving our family's corpses out, he would be suspected of murder, and the money would be exposed, attracting others to covet him, so he dug a cave at the bottom of the well and hid our family's corpses in it. And seal the entrance."

Xu Weng explained.

"It's a pity that the old man has accumulated money all his life, but he didn't even give it to his son, and because of this, his family was ruined. Who knew that he would end up taking advantage of outsiders."

Finally Xu Weng let out a long sigh.

"Maybe this is retribution..."

Xu Weng finally hesitated to speak.

"What does the old man say?"

Chen Yuan felt that there was something in the other party's words, so he asked.

"The Immortal Elder doesn't know. Because the old man was a hunter in his early years, he committed too many crimes. Giving birth to such a wicked son as a second son may be God's punishment for me."

Xu Weng acted as if he deserved what he deserved.

"When the old man went hunting in the early years, he once hunted and killed a wounded tiger. At the last moment, the tiger had tears in its eyes and begged me for mercy in human language. Life."

"At that time, the old man was greedy for profit. He only thought that such a big tiger could be sold for a lot of money after hunting, and that it was a tiger spirit that could only talk. It might be worth more, so he ruthlessly killed it."

"A few years later, when the old wife was pregnant and gave birth, the old man once saw a tiger that was exactly the same in shape and appearance as the tiger back then, and walked into the room where the old wife gave birth from outside the yard. Waiting for the old man to chase it in At that time, the tiger had disappeared, and the old man thought it was because of his eyesight."

"Two years later, a Taoist priest passed by Pingliang County. When he saw the old man's second son playing outside the courtyard, he told me that the old man's second son came to collect debts in his previous life. Ghost, if you want the family to be safe, it's best to send the second son out."

"The old man didn't take what the wandering Taoist said to heart. Who would have thought that his family would suffer such a catastrophe later."

Xu Weng told the hidden story of this matter.

Only then did Chen Yuan understand that the old man was very incompetent, greedy for his parents' money, and later killed his father and brother and the second son of his own family.

It was actually the tiger spirit that was killed by the old man back then, reincarnated under his family, and came to collect debts.

"This is really a peck and a drink, and there is a definite number."

Chen Yuan sighed.

"What's the matter with those villains who appear in the mourning room of the poor in the middle of the night?"

Chen Yuan asked.
