Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 581

[Chapter 581 Ghost Wife (19)]

The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is that they are afraid that ghosts will cause evil to themselves. Between the invisible and ethereal nature of ghosts, people feel that their abilities are not as strong as ghosts. This is an instinctive survival response. Coupled with a number of folk stories of ghosts, ghosts are described as such. Terrible but not human, so there is fear in people’s hearts. After hearing Dong Yunying’s narration, Ping’er felt that Dong Yunying was not as scary as other ghosts, and Dong Yunying was not like the eldest miss of Dong’s house when she was alive, so Ping’er gradually stopped being afraid, and even Some sympathize with Dong Yunying.

“Second Miss, don’t you hate Miss?” Ping’er got up and walked in front of Dong Yunying.

Dong Yunying was afraid that her appearance would frighten the bottle, so she turned around, floated to a corner, and replied softly, “She is always my sister, why should I hate her?” After speaking, she sighed: “I’m just worried about her current situation, Knowing that death is not a terrible thing in the world, it is terrible to live in the world, and life is better than death.”

After hearing Dong Yunying’s words, Ping’er burst into tears: “Now the young lady is really pitiful, the uncle thought that the young lady killed you, Miss will definitely not have a good life in the future.”

“That’s why I asked you to persuade my sister that day.”

“Second Miss, it’s not that you don’t know Miss’s temper, how can she persuade her with a handkerchief?” Wiping away her tears, she lowered her cry a little for fear of others finding out.

Dong Yunying had no choice but to sigh: “This matter is destined, and I have nothing to do.”

“Second miss, I know you are a good person… No, you are a good ghost… I beg you, please help Miss. “…” Ping’er still said that, she hoped that Dong Yunying could show up to persuade Meng Zixuan to treat Dong Jinling better, that’s why she asked Dong Yunying to come out. Dong Yunying didn’t agree to Ping’er, because Dong Yunying couldn’t do it either. Now she is a ghost, with long hair covering her face, and she can’t see anyone at all. Not to mention persuading Meng Zixuan, it would be a blessing if she was not afraid of Meng Zixuan’s death when she appeared. Dong Yunying’s refusal made Ping’er not know what to do. Just when he was thinking about how to persuade Dong Yunying, a man came from the corner of the garden. Hearing the sound of footsteps was very powerful, Dong Yunying was afraid of scaring people, and immediately turned into a soul. disappeared in the middle of the garden. The man approached and saw that it was a bottle standing in the garden, and there were scattered candles in the garden, and he was very curious.

“Ping’er, it’s so late, what are you doing here?”

“Gu… Uncle…” Ping’er was startled when she saw that it was Meng Zixuan, and when she looked back and saw that Dong Yunying was gone, she stammered and replied, “I… I… didn’t do anything.”

Meng Zixuan’s stuttering made Meng Zixuan suspicious. Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, but he is actually burning the paper in the garden. Could it be that he is worshipping someone? Meng Zixuan frowned and said, “Although you are the maid of Dong’s house, you should know the rules when you come to Meng’s house as a dowry. Why do you burn incense and paper in the middle of the night? Come on!” Meng Zixuan felt that the expression on the bottle was very strange. I guess Ding Ping’er was thinking of something to deal with. After all, Ping’er is Dong Jinling’s person, and now he and Dong Jinling can make it clear that there is no need to act any more. He reminded Meng Zixuan of Dong Jinling’s evil deeds that day, as well as Dong Yunying. He felt both hatred and pain in his heart. He would not let the bottle go so easily if he seized the handle this time. So with a cold drink, the servants were summoned, and the bottle was taken to a cold house in the backyard.

This room is usually unoccupied, almost no one comes, and there are no furnishings inside. It is a cold and empty room. Because it is facing away, the room is slightly damp. The shadow of the man was drawn so long that it was reflected on the wall like the shadow of a devil, and the bottle looked up at Meng Zixuan, who was standing in front of him, and begged bitterly: “Master, you have to believe in the bottle, what is the bottle really? I didn’t do it…”

“Shut up!” Meng Zixuan kicked at the bottle and cursed angrily, “You are a troublesome girl, relying on your master’s reputation, you will do some harming things with your master, It wasn’t enough that you killed Yun Ying before, what do you want to do now? Burning paper in the garden in the middle of the night, are you trying to curse me to die early?!”

“No… Uncle…” Ping’er never thought of Mencius Xuan actually misunderstood herself. Just as she was about to explain, the housekeeper covered her mouth with a piece of cloth. She couldn’t speak or make a sound. The whip fell on her body, causing her skin to tear open. The whip was stained with blood, and it was not until she fainted that Meng Zixuan stopped waving.

In Meng Zixuan’s eyes, a maid like Ping’er is not worthy of sympathy. The reason why he stopped fighting was because he didn’t want to kill anyone. After fighting enough, his anger was relieved. He wanted to bring this maid with Dong Jinling. Trapped in the Meng family, for the rest of their lives, so that their master and servant could not die, this was the only way Meng Zixuan could choose to avenge Dong Yunying. Ping’er endured in this sleepy room for a few days, with no water to drink or anything to eat, and couldn’t stand it any longer. Meng Zixuan did not refuse Ping’er’s request, he just wanted to know what kind of maid a young lady like Dong Jinling could teach, but Ping’er’s words completely shocked Meng Zixuan.

“You said you’ve seen Yun Ying?” Meng Zixuan’s eyes were full of suspicion, but he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

The bottle was crawling on the ground, his clothes were tattered, and he didn’t look like a human being. He replied in

a mournful voice, “I was in the garden that day to meet the second lady…” “What nonsense!” Said: “In order to survive, you actually made up such nonsense to deceive me, so you are a lowly inferior person, and you are not a good thing like your master!

” He climbed up to Meng Zixuan’s feet, raised his head and begged: “It’s true, bottle doesn’t dare to lie to Uncle…”

“Hmph, if it’s true, as you said, Yun Ying is still in this world, why doesn’t she come to see me?” Meng Zixuan thought. There is no reason why Dong Yunying didn’t come to see him, and he felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Although Ping’er didn’t want to tell the bad facts about Dong Jinling, in order to survive, Ping’er had to tell what Dong Jinling did to the dead Dong Yunying, which made Meng Zixuan doubtful. He didn’t believe what Ping’er said, but he There is still hope in his heart, at least the bottle gave him a hope, in order to find out what the truth is like, Meng Zixuan summoned his servants to Dong Yunying’s grave in the middle of the night. There is a stone tablet on the lonely grave, looking at Dong Yunying’s name. There have been countless times when Meng Zixuan stood in front of this stone tablet and shed tears at Dong Yunying. Originally, the deceased was already dead, and there was no need to disturb the deceased to rest in peace, but in order to find out the truth, Meng Zixuan had no choice but to dig Dong Yunying’s grave. Under the watchful eye of Mencius, the servants worked hard to dig the soil. After a while, they lifted the coffin buried in the soil. I couldn’t help being surprised that Dong Yunying’s hair was covering her face just like what the bottle said. Although the living people in the world have a certain fear of corpses and ghosts, Dong Yunying is the woman Meng Zixuan really likes after all. Mencius, regardless of the fearful eyes of the family members, gently pulled out the hair covering Dong Yunying’s face with his own hands. After that, Meng Zixuan was a little disappointed. There were only bones under the Wusi, and the smiling skin of the past was no longer there, and there was a slight chill…

“Yun Ying…” Meng Zixuan knelt in front of the coffin, and let out a sad expression. He cried out, losing the one he loved most, he lived in the world as pitiful as a humble bug, his cries startled the jackdaws in the woods, and they flew through the woods like ghosts, making Others were horrified. At this moment, a gust of overcast wind blew, blowing everyone’s eyes, Meng Zixuan came to an unfamiliar place in a trance, there was smoke everywhere, and he couldn’t see clearly. A figure appeared…with a wry smile and beautiful eyes… those eyes looked at Meng Zixuan affectionately, and Meng Zixuan was stunned.

“Yunying…”

“Zixuan…” Dong Yunying looked at Meng Zixuan with a smile. She never thought that she would be able to see Meng Zixuan in the past… Thanks to Meng Zixuan pulling out the hair blocking her face, Otherwise, she would never be able to appear in front of Meng Zixuan as herself.

Meng Zixuan was excited and stepped forward, trying to hold Dong Yunying, but Dong Yunying backed away…

“Zixuan, don’t come here…”

“Why?” Meng Zixuan wanted to see Dong Yunying so much, but he didn’t understand why he saw Dong Yunying today, but Dong Yunying didn’t let him get close. His questions were written on his face, and Dong Yunying could see clearly, so Youyou replied: “Zixuan, people and ghosts have different paths…”

“I don’t care, I don’t care who people and ghosts have different paths! Yun Ying, do you know how much I miss you these days? Before going to bed every day , I was thinking, will you come to my dream, but you never once…why?” The expression on Meng Zixuan’s face was very painful, love can’t be close, people and ghosts are separated, the world is sad.

Dong Yunying looked at Meng Zixuan with tears in her eyes… She couldn’t bear it, if it weren’t for this, she would have left Yangshi and went to another place. It was precisely because of her resentment towards Meng Zixuan that she had the courage to stay in the world. Silently accompany… This time, Dong Yunying thought that he and Meng Zixuan could be in love with each other, but Meng Zixuan was too stubborn, and he didn’t dare to think that Dong Yunying was a ghost , threatened with death. If you love each other, how can you bear to see each other die? Dong Yunying was naturally unwilling to let Meng Zixuan die, so he had to promise Meng Zixuan that he would not leave. The two took advantage of the thick fog and complained of lovesickness to each other. In order to keep Dong Yunying with him, Meng Zixuan proposed to marry Dong Yunying as his wife. As a dead soul, I couldn’t help being moved when I heard such words, but on the other hand, Dong Yunying couldn’t do this.
