Chapter 81 The thing that traps the ghost
I turned around in surprise and looked at Xuan Ye who was following me.
Will this really not scare this timid brother out of trouble?
Xuan Ye guessed what I was thinking and said gently: "There is something in his sister's room. That thing can trap the ghost in it and force her to stay in the human world without reincarnation, but at the same time it will also wear down the ghost a little bit.
Yinshou.
If the ghost cannot go down and be reincarnated before July and a half of this year, it will be completely gone."
Something that traps ghosts?
The room at the end of the corridor should be Zhang Qiang's bedroom.
"You can tell him what happened and ask him to take you to his sister's room. If you are worried about scaring him and don't want to tell him, that's fine. At worst, you can sneak in and look for it yourself. But then, be sure not to be caught by anyone.
He was taken by a thief."
"..."
Why do I feel like this man likes to show off to me and threaten me as soon as he meets Zhang Qiang?
——
After a peaceful dinner, when I put down my bowl, the sky outside was already dark.
While Xiaoqiang was playing with the dishwasher, I hesitantly told him the truth.
He was stunned for a moment, and then fell into disgrace with a pale face.
Second floor, Zhang Qiang's room.
At Xuan Ye's reminder, I found the exquisite octagonal pagoda that Zhang Qiang had hidden under the bed, wrapped in yellow cloth, and attached with amulets...
Young Master Zhang also pried open her sister's desk drawer and pulled out a strange notebook from inside.
Opening the note, there are dense black words inside.
"Boss Shen's only son, Shen Yan, is a recently graduated college student with the highest degree of bachelor's degree. He often hangs out at the Coral Bar on Xiangyang Road, and his activity time is from nine o'clock in the evening to three o'clock in the morning."
"Liu Yue, the second son of the president of Taiping Bank, is a graduate student at school. He likes to sing at the Moon Song Bar and will go to the Nanshan Bathing Center every Wednesday."
"Jiang Yunan is the youngest son of Professor Oracle. He often hangs out in Qinghe Bar. He has a girlfriend. His girlfriend has a younger brother who is a freshman and his looks are barely passable..."
The more Zhang Qiang flipped through the notes recording the men's information, the uglier his face became.
Turning to the latest page, Zhang Qiang was so angry that he dropped the notebook: "Jiang Zhou! That's our uncle's brother-in-law! How could Zhang Qiang do this!"
I glanced at him who was angry, and calmly gave the pagoda to Xuan Ye so that he could help tear off the strange talisman, "Why are you angry? What if it's not what you thought. Besides, she is
Your biological sister, you should know her best as a person, and you should know her recent changes in mentality best."
"No! I don't understand!" Zhang Qiang retorted with a strong tone: "She has hated me since she was a child! We are not familiar with each other at all! No matter how much I lick my face to please her and flatter her, she still hates me in her heart.
It has never dissipated! She is disgusting me, taking revenge on our mother, and my whole family!"
I updated, but I didn’t quite understand: “What do you mean?”
Zhang Qiang picked up the notebook from the ground with shaking hands, calmed his tone with red eyes, and said with a heavy breath: "Second sister...she also came to the provincial capital after she went to college. Before, she lived with her grandma.
The countryside...a very poor and backward countryside."
As he spoke, his hands gradually held the notebook tighter.
"My mother and my father got married early, and they had my eldest sister when they were nineteen years old. But the birth of my eldest sister did not bring joy to the family. My grandparents both valued boys over girls. When my eldest sister was a child,
, I was almost sold by my grandparents.
My grandma was still my mother's immediate boss at that time, and my mother was afraid of her. In addition, my mother later left the provincial drama troupe and chose to enter the film and television industry, which made my grandma, the provincial leader who specializes in drama and drama, very unhappy.
My grandma was originally dissatisfied with my mother for giving birth to a daughter, and because of this incident, she started to make things difficult for my mother. It also happened that my mother fell off a horse and had a miscarriage just after filming for a year.
The doctor told my grandparents that my mother had a serious fall that time and might not be able to get pregnant in the future. This made my grandfather, who values the inheritance of incense very much, furious, and my grandmother did not shy away from encouraging my father to find another woman to borrow from.
Give birth to a child in the womb.
Perhaps it was because of this kind of environment that my mother began to complain that her belly was not as good as it could be and that she was not pregnant with a boy.
My eldest sister told me that when she was a child, my mother always liked to beat her with a feather duster while crying and complaining about why she was not a boy. Her grandparents took her to strange men and planned to sell her to others as their daughter.
, my mother was standing behind the corner, but she didn't stop her.
In the end, Dad got the news and ran home from work in a hurry, snatching the eldest sister from the stranger's hands. Dad had a big fight with the grandparents about the eldest sister, and then the grandparents gave up on the eldest sister.
Thoughts of selling people out. However, later on, I would often get looked down upon by my eldest sister.
After my mother gave birth to her eldest sister, it took eight years for her second sister and me to be born again. I heard that when my mother got off the operating table at that time, she clamored to see the children. When she found out that they were twins and had a daughter, my mother wanted to take care of me on the spot.
The second sister covered herself to death.
Despite my father's advice, my mother still couldn't accept my second sister. My father was desperate at that time, so he gave his second sister to his grandmother in the countryside to raise him. It is said that my own grandmother saw my father giving her a newborn baby.
When she was giving birth to a baby girl, she scolded my father with a cold face that he was a beast and would have his blood sucked by the turtle son when he got old. If my father dared to throw the child to her, she would throw the child into the ditch and drown him.
But in the end, my father drove away as if he was running for his life, and my grandmother did not throw my second sister into the ditch and drowned.
My grandma has a bad temper, and my second sister suffered a lot of grievances at her home. Even the neighbors said that my grandma was cruel and would often beat and scold my second sister. My second sister had a withdrawn personality and was frightened and beaten by her.
Anyway, no matter what, my second sister has survived these years and is alive today.
After going to college, my father took my second sister home, but my second sister hated her parents for abandoning her and refused to talk to her parents properly. When the family lived together, there was always constant friction."
Xiaoqiang said, wiping away her tears and choking sadly: "On my birthday last year, she cursed me to die early... But senior sister, I know she suffered so much because of me. I know
I owe her so much, and I really want to make it up to her and protect her, but why does she just refuse to give me this chance!"
Seeing him in such a sad state, I frowned helplessly and comforted softly: "Okay, why are you crying like a grown man? Your second sister's situation is indeed difficult to solve. All diseases can be cured, but there is no cure for mental illness.
The knot in your second sister's heart has been tight for nearly twenty years. The pain caused by her family's patriarchal preference can be solved overnight.
Although she has returned to the family life she should have, to her, in this family environment, you relatives are just a bunch of strangers. Perhaps, not even ordinary strangers, but a group of malicious people.
stranger.
You have abandoned her for more than ten years. How do you ask her to let down her guard, let go of past resentments, forgive your cruelty, forget the past so easily, and start over with you... Besides, you may be the only one who wants to make up for her...
…”
The idea of preferring boys over girls is a dregs that has been corroded into the bones. It is easy to form this kind of thinking, but it is harder to get rid of it than to reach the sky.
In addition, Zhang Qiang was the one who was abandoned in the first place. Even if she comes back now, her family may not want her to integrate in.
Zhang Qiang is a left-behind child in the countryside. She was not raised by her parents. She has never had even the slightest affection with her biological parents. This is doomed that she will not be able to have the natural love of her parents like ordinary daughters.
Motherly love.
When they get along with each other, not only will she reject them, but her parents will also reject them. Now that she chooses to stay, her situation is actually very embarrassing.
It would not be surprising for a girl with this kind of experience to go astray.
Not because she is bad, but because her life is too hard and she is too pitiful.
"I..." Zhang Qiang was speechless with wet eyes. He was silent for a long time knowingly, and then said: "Indeed, I can also see that the eldest sister and I are the only ones in the family who really don't dislike her.
It's a pity that the eldest sister has such a cold personality and is quite different in age from us. When we communicate with her, we always feel a strong sense of oppression. I know that it is impossible for her to tell the eldest sister everything easily. I also know that,
She is very prejudiced against me and hates me from the bottom of her heart.
But she can't, can't do such a thing... What is this called? This is called not loving oneself, it is called debauchery! Does she want to ruin the reputation of our Zhang family in this way? She knows that my father and grandfather are the most
You care about your family’s reputation.”
I held the pagoda and took a deep breath: "Don't jump to conclusions on things you haven't seen or verified with your own eyes. The most important thing for a family is mutual trust. Even if your sister does this, it is a debt incurred by your parents.
.
If you hadn't done this... you already had a bad relationship and she would have been sensitive. By saying this, wouldn't you be pushing her to death?"
Xiaoqiang hugged the notebook and smacked it twice, his eyes turned red from crying.
Seeing how pitiful and aggrieved he looked, I took out a clean tissue from my pocket and planned to hand it to him.
But the next second, he actually exploded a snot bubble...
With a dark face, I pretended nothing had happened and silently took the tissue back, then casually grabbed the rag from the corner of the table and handed it to him.
He sobbed and took the rag. After seeing the thing clearly, his eyes looked a little disgusted, but he still said politely: "Thank you, senior sister."
Glancing at the exquisite octagonal pagoda in my hand, he immediately said excitedly: "It must be my grandma! It must be my grandma's ghost that confuses the second sister. The second sister is not a girl who can seduce men at all! Why is she haunted?
disperse!"
As he spoke, he angrily threw the notebook out again.
The notebook hit the floor hard.
Two seconds later, an old woman wearing a blue coarse cloth appeared next to the notebook. She bent down and picked up the notebook with trembling hands like dead branches. She patted it. There was something in her cloudy eyes.
Tears welled up.
The look in her eyes as she looked at the notebook was clearly filled with distress.
"How do you know that what your second sister did was what confused your grandma?" I asked in a deep voice.
Xiaoqiang persisted in arguing: "My second sister was often beaten by her when we were together! She was not good to my second sister at all! She is dead now and doesn't dare to pester others. She only catches my poor little sister.
My second sister bullied me!"
"Did your second sister tell you that your grandma was not good to her?"
"No!" Xiaoqiang wiped his nose with his sleeve, "My mother said that!"
I suddenly understood.
With a long sigh of emotion, I put the octagonal pagoda on the table and calmly reminded: "If your grandma is really not good to your second sister, do you think your second sister will hang a photo of them on the wall at home?
?”
As if the words woke up the dreamer, Xiaoqiang twitched, his eyes widened and he was stunned.
