Male Meng Po

Chapter 73 Blood and Teeth

"The face has not changed for 30 years, her son has white silk in his black hair, only she still looks like a girl, and the people in the city are afraid, coupled with her usual demeanor, and her husband who disappeared "The landlady sighed, "People in the city say that she is an evil spirit and can eat people."

In the beginning, it was only spread by a few women who were jealous of her, but the more it spread, the more people believed it.

Originally, it was just hiding and talking behind the scenes. Of course, this is a matter between women. Many men in the city have an ambiguous relationship with Wang Yu. Dare to go up and make fun of it.Until a certain man who went to Wang's house was found abandoned in the wild, the families living near Wang's house broke out immediately, clamoring to burn the evildoer to death.

The truth of the matter is known only to the people who are directly related to the matter, and only the landlady who has been watching there knows it.

It is true that Wang Yu's usual behavior is not correct, and she once killed her husband, but the man whose body was abandoned in the wild really has nothing to do with her.

That man usually wandered around in the city, hooking up young women, cheating for food and drink, and Wang Yu was not the only woman who had contacts with him.And there are countless women who have moved their minds on him.

Jealousy and quarrels, a woman who was in love with him heard a drunk man say that no one is as beautiful as Wang Concubine, and that she would never associate with her again and only go to Wang Concubine's side. people killed.He also resented Wang Concubine who stole his limelight, thinking that the man had only come out from Wang Concubine's place before, and no one knew about the fact that he came to his side, so he simply pushed the crime on Wang Concubine, and did not mention it himself, if he could take the opportunity It would be best to drive Wang Yu's family away.

As for how things will develop to that point later, I'm afraid this woman didn't even think of it.

Disgust, jealousy, resentment, once a woman's selfishness erupts, it is terrible.They united many high-status women and convicted Wang Concubine without authorization. The so-called evildoers should be burned to death.

Since Wang Yu is an evildoer, so are her sons and granddaughters, and even her daughter-in-law has entered the monster's den, and none of them can stay.

In the dark night, the fire was so bright that everyone held torches and looked at the houses surrounded by raging flames.

I don't know who screamed and pointed forward.Then everyone saw that in front of the door of the house, Wang Yu was standing in the flames, staring at this side with cold eyes, as if to remember all the enemies.

Regarding the rumors, most people are just suspicious. It is their jealousy that prompted their decision to burn the concubine to death.But now, they really think that Wang Concubine is an evil ghost.

And today's revenge, I'm afraid it will come to revenge.

After the Wang's house was burned down, many wives fell ill when they returned home, and some of them who were already a little weak were lingering in bed for several months. It was even more convincing that the concubine Wang who lived here was a monster.

Especially on the second day, someone boldly came over to take a look. The courtyard and the house were burned to a complete mess, and two bones were found inside, hugging each other tightly and lying on the ground. They were the bones of Wang Concubine's son and daughter-in-law.

In addition to these two people, a body that had long since become bones was found under the stove. Some people speculated that it was the body of Wang Concubine's husband.

Only Wang Yu and the girl who was only about seven years old disappeared.

No one knows how they escaped, but the landlady knows that Wang Yu and her husband escaped because of drought and bandits. Therefore, when the house was built, a tunnel was reserved in advance, and Wang Yu and her little granddaughter escaped from the tunnel. left.As for the husband and wife, they wanted to escape after they found out that the fire was burning, but the daughter-in-law was crushed by the wardrobe that fell down, and her legs were injured and she was unable to leave.Wang Yu's son couldn't bear to leave her to die alone, so he stayed by her side.

When she dies, she is accompanied by her loving husband. The woman is not afraid or sad. The two hug each other tightly and turn into bones.

The landlady sighed at this point: "Xiaoxian has been a landlady here for more than hundreds of years. She has seen all kinds of things, but those things still make Xiaoxian feel uneasy. Which is right and which is wrong, Xiaoxian knows It's a little unclear."

Yue Banqi: "Are they taking revenge?"

Landwoman: "There were hundreds of people who set the fire that day. I have observed that woman Wang Yu carefully. Except for her appearance and long lifespan, she is no different from an ordinary woman. Even with a little granddaughter, she is just a young woman. Seven years old, revenge is not so easy. Without a home, they can only go to the mountains, where the night is cold, and the two weak girls live very hard. Especially the little girl, who burned her face and lost a Eyes, it’s good to survive.”

Yan Wang: "If she doesn't provoke those men, perhaps these things will not happen."

The landlady thought for a while, then shook her head: "Wang Concubine looks beautiful, and she is immortal, so she has already attracted the attention of others. She is a woman with a child, and it is very difficult to live here. She asks for help from a man, and she can still live. Smoother."

Saying that women are respected is nothing more than believing that mothers are the origin of life in belief, so women should be respected.In terms of life, men are still more reliable.

However, men who have long-term ambiguous relationships to help with work are mostly indiscreet.Even if Wang Yu's son grows up and stands up, those men will not cut off contact with Wang Yu so easily.

After all, there are some things that are difficult for others to judge clearly.

As far as the result is concerned, Wang Yu's family was ruined, apart from the jealousy of the wives, it was also inseparable from her own behavior.

But the word deserves it, the landlady can't say it.No matter how indiscreet, what she did, should it be such a result?And how innocent is her son, daughter-in-law, and a seven-year-old girl?

The life of Wang Yu hiding in the mountains with her little granddaughter was very hard, and this is not the most important thing.The bones of the three members of the Wang family will always be collected, and those who set fire to the house and directly killed them naturally dare not move, for fear of contamination, and only in the middle of the night, when Wang concubine arranged for her granddaughter, did she go back quietly, first digging with a wooden shovel, When the wooden shovel was broken, I used a hand planer to dig a shallow hole and buried the two of them.

As for the bones of her former husband, she was still buried under the original hearth.

When she went back, her hands were dripping with blood, but she didn't care, just wiped them casually to ensure that no bleeding would reveal where she was hiding, and left.

From the beginning to the end, the expression was indifferent.

The more this was the case, the more terrified the landlady looked. There were always stormy waves hidden under the calmness. As expected, when the little girl grew up a little, Wang Yu taught her how to kill.

Not only teach, but also practice.

The teenage girl, who looked similar to Wang Yu, took advantage of the darkness to go to one of the houses that was in charge of burning down the house, and actually killed the head of the house.

When she was young, she saw her parents were burned alive. The girl's heart was full of hatred, and she usually trained more seriously. She really became an avenger who was ruthless in killing and good at assassination.

After so many years, the events of those years have long been forgotten. The family was killed for a while, and the matter of burning Wang Yu's family for many years could not be contacted. People found out the pattern and guessed the identity of the murderer.

Then what happened was a larger search in the mountains.If it wasn't for the fear of hurting his own family, he might even burn the mountain.

Now it is difficult for the two of Wang and Concubine to hide, so they can only sneak away at night and leave the Yuanxi City directly.

"It's been more than 30 years since I left." The landlady said with emotion, "She didn't come back until the war broke out more than 60 years ago. She just brought a girl who seemed to be the same age as her, and a corpse in a coffin. .”

Wang Yu's appearance remained the same, but her name was changed. She fled with a girl who claimed to be her younger sister and her mother's corpse.

The tattered clothes, the gray face, the young people who experienced those things back then are already old, and now the young people in the city don't know about those things.All I know is that there is a burnt ruin near the city, and there are ghosts eating people there, so I can't go there.

Wang Yu and her 'sister' lived over the ruins, paid a lot of money to repair the house, and continued to live there.

That younger sister looked very similar to Wang Yu, but the landlady knew that it couldn't be her twin sister.

Counting the time, it should be the daughter of the girl whose face was burned and one eye was blind.

It's just that what happened to the three of them in other places, why Wang Yu's daughter came back in a coffin, whether she was married or not, and where the father of the child was, the landlady didn't know at all.

She just saw that both the concubine Wang and the little girl had disgust and hatred for the world in their eyes.

"The old concubine came back after many years." The land lady said with emotion, "Things are different, and people are different. Rumors and rumors have become unrealistic legends."

Xu Shi accepted the previous lesson. After Wang Concubine moved into the repaired house, she never went out again.People outside only know that there is a twin sister who is frail and sick and unable to get out of bed all the year round, but they hardly see each other.

On the contrary, the 'sister' named Wang Qi often appeared in front of everyone and grew up to be a big girl, but she refused to get married. She only said that in order to take care of the older sister at home, she was adopted from other places until she had gray hair on her head in middle age. A girl named Wang Lin.

"The times are different, and we have contacts with people from the West. Six years ago, a European named Adair came here and met a woman from the Wang family." The landlady continued, "It was also at the instigation of this European man. , Wang Yu and the others left here again."

As for the following things, the landlady didn't know, but Yan Wang and Yue Banqi understood.

Then, I went to Kyoto, and the series of things happened three years ago.

At this time, Wang Yu's house on the edge of the city.

"Grandma, the paper money is ready." The white-haired old woman walked up to Wang Yu.

Concubine Wang, dressed in white, nodded, and placed an iron basin on the ground with her slender fingers: "Burn it."

Wang Qi responded, staggered to Wang Yu's side, and set fire to the paper money.

Next to him, Wang Lin, who was in his thirties, held a wooden stick to help burn the paper. The red flames rose up, and Wang Yu's face was slightly reddened by the reflection.

On the surface of the iron basin, there are three slightly raised soil bags. If they hadn't burned paper money here, no one would have thought that the three were graves, they would have thought they were small raised slopes.

But under these three soil bags, there are indeed three people buried.

After 300 years of walking, everyone around her grew old and died. Only she was left in place and endured all unimaginable sufferings.

"One day in the sky, one year in the world. More than 300 days, do you finally think of me?" Wang Yu said suddenly.

Wang Qi and Wang Lin, who were burning paper beside them, were startled. Turning their heads, they saw a young woman standing behind her who appeared at some unknown time.

The woman was wearing a yellow dress, with facial features marked, even if she was a little pockmarked, it didn't affect her beauty.

"En." Magu replied indifferently, "I will make up for my mistakes."

When Wang Yu heard this, she raised the corners of her mouth, showing a half-smile expression.
