Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 23 The theory of resentful souls?

"The daughter-in-law of the Li family is a well-known beauty from all over the world. It's a pity that she met a worthless husband. In order to pay off her gambling debts, she even sold her to a brothel..."

"The daughter-in-law of the Li family was also stubborn, she hanged herself in the brothel that night."

"How could the bully in the brothel give up and find the Li family with the body of the Li family's daughter-in-law the next day?"

"That was a lot of trouble. The entire Li family was evacuated, and the men of the Li family were beaten to death..."

"But even so, the man from the Li family remained stubborn. He went to the casino again that night. The body of the wife of the Li family was left there. The kind neighbor nearby helped restrain her and dragged her to the outside of the city to be buried."

"At first, everyone thought that this matter passed like this, and the Li family lost like this."

"But what happened next, I'm afraid you would never have imagined..."

Speaking of this, the storyteller suddenly played tricks, which immediately attracted the urging of all the audience, and those who understood had already started stuffing coins into the money jar in front of the storyteller.

Even Chu Mu couldn't help being aroused a little bit of curiosity.

According to what the storyteller said, the next thing seems to be easy to guess, the man of the Li family is so virtuous, the decline of the Li family is undoubtedly inevitable, and it is not impossible to die outside.

But judging by the storyteller's tricks, things are obviously not that simple.

After Chu Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes seemed to focus on the storyteller again.

"I'm afraid you won't believe it, but this matter is really like this."

"On the eighth day after Li's daughter-in-law died, the man of the Li family woke up and suddenly went crazy. He begged for mercy and confessed his mistakes when he saw anyone, and he even gave the name of Li's daughter-in-law..."

"The bully who opened the brothel was also found hanged in the brothel. The most terrifying thing is that the room where the bully was hanged was actually the same room where Li's daughter-in-law hanged herself. Even the place where she hanged herself is exactly the same..."

The storyteller is really good. Speaking of this, the chaos in the restaurant suddenly subsided, and there was almost silence. Even Chu Mu suddenly felt a deep chill covering his whole body.

"Really...it's not the resentful soul of the Li family's daughter-in-law?"

After a long while, someone finally stumbled and asked.

"I don't even know about this matter, but when the people from the inspection station came, even the county captain was alarmed, and they didn't find out why. In the end, it became an unsolved case..."

"But the old man wants to come, reincarnation in the world, retribution is not good, even if the Li family's daughter-in-law turns into a resentful soul to come to revenge, it is only natural..."

The storyteller took a sip of tea, shook his head and said calmly.

Hearing the words "inspection office", Chu Mu couldn't help but be taken aback. He thought the storyteller was telling a story, why is it an accident?

"Why haven't I heard of such a mysterious thing, old man Li, you can't make it up, can you?"

Someone questioned it again, but as soon as the story was finished and the storyteller hadn't spoken, someone in the audience defended it.

"This is really true, but the old man was still young when the accident happened, and there was a lot of panic in the city back then. The inspection department did not find out for a long time..."

"Yes, I've also heard from my grandfather about this matter. He said it was the resentful soul of the Li family's daughter-in-law who claimed her life. By the way, the Li family man seems to be still alive. Isn't there a lunatic at the south gate of the county seat? It seems to be the Li family man..."

The chatterbox seemed to be opened, and the knowledgeable people in the audience spoke out one after another.

"Guest officer, your food and drink."

Chu Mu didn't have time to think about it, the waiter in the shop interrupted Chu Mu's thoughts.

"Guest officer, your food and drink are ready, if you need anything else, just call me."

Chu Mu nodded, glanced at the food and wine on the table, but looked downstairs again.

The chatterbox has been opened, and it has become more and more lively around what the storyteller said.

Combined with what other people said, it can be basically confirmed that the storyteller's words are true. The only doubt is obviously whether it is man-made or the so-called theory of gods and ghosts.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Mu finally didn't think too much about it. According to what the people downstairs said, the incident happened at least a few decades ago.

What's more, three people become tigers, and rumors are spread, and few people know the details.

Chu Mu shook his head, he doesn't really believe in the theory of gods and ghosts.

Although strange things like time travel have happened, if there are really rumors of resentful souls...

Then this Nanshan Iron Mine must have become a haunted place long ago.

After all, during the time he was in the inspection station alone, dozens of lives were lost in the mine!
As far as he knew, this was not a special accident in a special period, it was almost the norm in that mine.

After all, the mine has been mined for too long, and the facilities in many places are in disrepair, and the mining technology is too primitive.

Of course, the most important thing is the inaction of the mine managers.

It can be said that every piece of iron smelted in that iron factory is stained with blood.

If there are really resentful souls, they will kill a few inspections every now and then to add to the fun, and they will be sorry for the loss of so many lives in the mine.

However, after being in the mine for nearly a month, Chu Mu has never heard of any inspector who lost his life.

Facts, obviously, speak louder than words.

It's just that when the lunatic in the south of the city said it, Chu Mu remembered it in his heart, and when he went to the county in the future, he would take a look at it when he had time, and it wouldn't delay anything.

Thinking in his heart, the teacup in his hand was replaced by a wine glass, and the heat rose suddenly after a glass of wine was poured into his stomach, and the cold air that had been stuck in the wind and snow for a whole morning seemed to dissipate a lot in an instant.

Shiquan spicy peppers are very spicy, and the roast goose is fat but not greasy. The combination of the two makes the taste even more delicious.

A sip of shochu, a sip of roast goose dipped in spicy peppers, and a sip of rice sent by the store.

Just like this, Chu Mu sipped and sipped, listening to all directions, and this leisure meal was enjoyable.

Full of wine and food, this body seems to have not been drunk with wine, a pot of burning knives, but there is still some alcohol in it.

I felt dizzy, but my whole body was warm, like being in a hot stove.

Chu Mu was not in a hurry to get out of the restaurant, leaning against the fence, listening to the noise in the shop, rested like this for a long time, and then called the waiter to pay the bill.

A roast goose, a pot of shochu, thirty coppers, can barely be regarded as good quality and cheap...

After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, the wind and snow finally stopped completely, the heat still surged in the body with the strength of alcohol, but there was no chill.

Although the wind and snow stopped, but under the cold, passers-by on the street were all in a hurry, some rich and powerful families even drove their carriages or sedan chairs to clear the way, under the strong alcohol, Chu Mu seemed a little leisurely.

Walking slowly, I don't know when, accompanied by the sound of Yingying and Yanyan, the faint fragrance of cosmetics also smelled into the tip of my nose.

"Fengyue Tower..."

In the eyes of Yingying and Yanyan, they are all enchanting.

The cold winter did not affect the professionalism at all, the skirts were flying, the tulle was faint, and the enchanting figure walked into the wind and snow, and greeted Chu Mu.

Chu Mu smacked his mouth, didn't he go home?Why did you come here?
