The Xianji Bridge at the foot of the mountain is not peaceful.
Xiao Guilian was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, and she quickly hugged Zhou Qimu who was sleeping beside her. The hairs all over her body stood up, and her body was shivering under the quilt.
But the knocking on the door became louder and louder. When Xiao Guilian looked outside the door, she even saw a black figure shaking outside the window.
"Who!" Xiao Guilian bravely shouted.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped, but after a while, it started ringing again, and the black figure under the window shook more and more violently.
The knocking on the door seemed so abrupt in the quiet night.
This knock on the door is not the first day. This sound has become extremely frequent in the past six months. Xiao Guilian initially thought it was the bachelors from the Xianjiqiao Brigade coming to scare people. Xiao Guilian is very good-looking, with fair skin, and has the appearance of the village
An outstanding woman, after becoming a widow, is naturally regarded as a forbidden wife by the bachelors of Xianjiqiao.
But Xiao Guilian despises those bachelors. She is worried that her son Zhou Qimu will not be treated well after remarrying. There are countless stories of cruel stepfathers and cruel stepmothers circulating in the countryside. Xiao Guilian does not like the consequences of her own happiness for her son.
Disaster. In addition, the dead man has a baby, so the only ones who can marry are singles. How can Xiao Guilian like him?
There were several bachelors in the production team who asked people to act as matchmakers, and even the Zhou family persuaded Xiao Guilian to make do with the bachelor from the same family. The one from the family who was the same generation as Zhou Heyuan, the man who died Xiao Guilian, was an old single in his late 40s. He was ugly and had a bad temper.
Famously irritable.
This man's name is Zhou Jinhe. He is almost forty years old this year and has been single for more than forty years. After Zhou Heyuan's death, he has been pursuing Xiao Guilian's ideas.
There are several people in the village who are interested in Xiao Guilian like Zhou Jinhe.
Not long after Zhou Heyuan's death, Zhou Heyuan asked someone to talk to Xiao Guilian. Xiao Guilian rejected all the matchmakers on the grounds that a man must observe the festival for a man for three years.
Now that the three-year period has passed, Zhou Jinjin is thinking again. A while ago, he asked someone to talk to Zhou Yukun and his wife. He promised to be filial to Zhou Yukun and his wife like his own sons in the future. Zhou Yukun thought that they were all members of a big family, so Zhou Jinjin didn't care.
No matter how bad it is, you won’t go too far. If Xiao Guilian marries Zhou Jinhe, Zhou Qimu will not suffer. There are more and more matchmakers, and there is no guarantee that Xiao Guilian will not be tempted. If she marries an outsider, she may take her grandson away.
.So, Zhou Yukun and his wife also started doing Xiao Guilian's work.
Xiao Guilian is not yet thirty years old. It is impossible to say that she does not want to marry at all. She just cannot let Zhou Qimu go and has not found the right one. But it is absolutely impossible for her to marry someone who is one or twenty years older than herself. Moreover,
, Zhou Jinhe doesn’t have a good reputation in Xianji Bridge.
But not long after Xiao Guilian rejected Zhou Jinhe, Xiao Guilian's house started to make noise at night. Xiao Guilian thought at first that Zhou Jinhe was angry and came to vent his anger.
I asked relatives to come over to accompany me and wanted to catch the culprit, but after several arrests, no one was caught. Later, news spread in the village that Xiao Guilian's house was haunted. Later, the people who came to accompany Xiao Guilian also
She was scared to death and refused to come over to accompany Xiao Guilian again.
At dawn, Xiao Guilian walked out of the house with disheveled hair. Her mental state was very poor. She went out without washing her face and uncombing her hair. It was completely different from her usual behavior. Xiao Guilian went there early in the morning
Zhou Maolin's family. Zhou Maolin, the secretary of the Xianjiqiao brigade, was probably the only brigade secretary who was kind to her. Many other people were rejected because of matchmaking, and their attitude towards Xiao Guilian became increasingly bad.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Because of your incident, I sent militiamen to guard near your home many times, but I didn't see anything every time." Zhou Maolin also had a headache. At first, he heard about what happened at Xiao Guilian's house.
He also thought that the incident was man-made, so he sent militiamen to ambush him. As a result, every time there was an ambush by the militiamen, the ghost seemed to know about it in advance and stopped making trouble all night long.
"I know, Uncle Maolin, you have helped me a lot. But I am an orphan and a widower. There is really no other way. You are familiar with the old Taoist priest. Can you help me invite the old Taoist priest to come down the mountain and come to my house?
Look, let’s see what’s going on.” Xiao Guilian now began to wonder if it was really haunted.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The old Taoist Priest is not in good health right now. I went up the mountain to sit in the Patriarch Temple not long ago. It's difficult for the old Taoist priest to go out. I'm afraid he won't be willing to come down the mountain to show you this." Zhou Maolin shook his head.
Shake his head.
"Then what should we do? Only the old Taoist master knows this." Xiao Guilian was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me think about it again. In fact, the old Taoist priest's apprentice is very powerful. If he takes action, he might not be weaker than the old Taoist priest." Zhou Maolin also couldn't bear it.
When Zhou Maolin came to the Patriarch's Temple again, the old Taoist was sitting on the threshold, closing his eyes and meditating.
"Taoist Priest, how are you doing lately?" Zhou Maolin said hello.
"Secretary Maolin, how come you have time to come here? What can happen to my body? They are all going to be buried." The old Taoist opened his eyes and smiled at Zhou Maolin.
"Taoist Priest, I'm here this time because I have something to trouble you with." Zhou Maolin told the story about Xiao Guilian's family.
The old Taoist shook his head after hearing this: "Secretary Maolin, if you came to invite me before, I would go down the mountain to help you handle this matter without saying a word. But I am like this now, let alone catch ghosts, I
It will kill me if I get to the bottom of the mountain."
Zhou Maolin smiled bitterly. He was not exaggerating. His physical condition was indeed not very good.
"Actually, when I came here, I also knew that Taoist priest you couldn't go down the mountain. But I know that the little Taoist priest is not weak in Taoism. Can you let the little Taoist priest go over and have a look?" Zhou Maolin asked.
"Okay, I'll tell Xing'er later and let him take a look. But when you tell me, it doesn't sound like it's haunted, but more like a ghost." The old Taoist agreed.
"Taoist Master, to tell you the truth, not only do you think someone is playing tricks on you, but I have already suspected that someone is scaring you. But I sent militiamen to ambush you several times, but every time I failed," Zhou Maolin said.
"That means this person still has some skills." The old Taoist said.
"If someone is scary, does the Taoist priest have any good ideas?" Zhou Maolin asked.
"When Xing'er comes back, let Xing'er go to Xiao Guilian's house. It's not easy for orphans and widowed mothers, so I'll help her again." The old Taoist said.
"Then thank you so much, Taoist priest." Zhou Maolin thanked him repeatedly.
