Liu Feiyan's face flushed, and she looked around at the extremely ugly faces. She rushed out of the house: "I want to call my parents and let them judge me!"
“Come on, come on!
If you call my son out, I will ask him where he kept the money and food. Ask him if his daughter knows where the money and food are hidden!
Make way for her!" The hunchbacked old woman slapped her crutches, and many juniors behind her made way for her.
He watched Liu Feiyan rush out of the house with cold eyes.
They cheered and followed him again!
The hunchbacked old woman had a cold smile on her face. Seeing Liu Feiyan's expression just now, she thought that he knew that he was afraid, and now she was going to take the opportunity to find out the money and food and give it to him!
She followed the juniors and bowed slightly towards the pockmarked Wang Guanren: "Wang Guanren, don't worry, even if she finds money and food, things will not change - when the girl reaches the age, it is time to get married.
In good times, staying at home all day long will be detrimental to the brothers at home and also bad luck to the family."
"That's what I'm worried about... With these few words from you, old lady, I feel relieved!" Wang Guanren grinned, "Don't worry, you don't need me to arrange the funeral banquet, I will pay more for the bride price."
——Add it to forty taels for your family!
When Feiyan comes to my house, I will definitely train her well and find a good guy to groom her!"
"Hehehe..."
The hunchbacked old woman and her sons and daughters-in-law all laughed and pretended that they had never heard of the words "combing the cage" or "training" that Wang Guanren accidentally revealed in his words.
All the relatives of the Liu family left the small house with cheers, gathered behind Liu Feiyan, and followed her inside and outside the main room.
At this time, the neighbors around the Liu family heard the noise in the courtyard of the Liu family and came closer. They stood in the hallway of the gatehouse and in the yard, watching the farce going on.
The neighbors looked at the hunchbacked old woman surrounded by relatives of the Liu family, and at Liu Feiyan who staggered into the main room. Listening to the conversations of the people around her, they could guess what happened in the Liu family.
perhaps.
Some kind-hearted women who had spent time with Liu's daughter couldn't help showing pity on their faces and started talking in low voices.
"I'm so cruel...I won't even give my children a place to live..."
"With parents like this and a family like this, what can be done?"
"Fei Yan is so filial, but her parents still dislike her.
Her parents and brothers are dead, and the Liu family is still waiting for her - well, her life will be too difficult..."
"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, didn't you help arrange marriage for Fei Yan a few days ago? What kind of family did you tell her about? If she can marry into a good family, she will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief in the future."
"The young man from the Li family I'm talking about is Li Feixiong.
The Li family in our village are all of good character - it's just a pity that the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words mean that now that the Liu family's sister's parents are dead, her uncle and grandma still have to decide on her marriage.
The marriage I told her about is only going to be dirty..."
The neighbors talked a lot about it.
The Liu family members gathered inside and outside the main hall, looking uncomfortable as they listened to others' comments and criticisms.
But after all, they did such a thing, and it was impossible to silence the neighbors - especially people in a village, where everyone was related to each other, so they would fight to death. In the name of mourning Liu's father and Liu's mother, relatives of the Liu family must not open their mouths and drive them away.
While people were talking about it, Liu Feiyan ran into the main room.
The bodies of her parents and brothers were covered with a layer of white cloth, lying on their backs on three wooden boards with their heads facing in and their feet facing out.
On the low table in front of the main room, incense candles were burning, and an iron basin was placed in front of the low table. There was only a thin layer of paper ashes in it. These relatives kept saying that they were helping to pay for the funeral of her parents, but they didn't even have paper money. I'm not willing to burn a few more.
Liu Feiyan walked around the large altar table outside the hall where three animal offerings were placed to worship the gods and ancestors, and knelt down in front of the small altar table.
The smell in the house is quite unpleasant.
The smell of decaying corpses mixed with the smell of incense and candles makes people feel frightened when they smell it.
Fei Yan smelled the smell and turned to look behind her. All the relatives of the Liu family looked at her coldly. Grandma stood in front with a cane, looking at her with eyes full of ridicule.
The hunchbacked old woman raised her eyes and sneered: "Come on, wake up your father and mother!
Let them see the wonderful daughter they gave birth to!
Disobedient and unfilial thing!"
She was sure that the corpse on the wooden board was extremely dead, and because she was Liu's father's mother, she stood in front of the mourning hall with an "upright face" and no fear!
Liu Feiyan's eyes were filled with tears. Listening to the cold words of her grandmother behind her, her inner despair could not be increased.
She raised her head and looked at her parents' coffins, and actually understood more clearly that even if the two rotting corpses on the wooden board could really come back to life, they would never protect her in the slightest.
If there really are ghosts after death, then the ghosts of her parents and brothers will only surround her and curse her day and night, and will not make her feel any better!
The person she is really bowing to now, the person she can rely on, is actually the so-called 'ghost' invited by the younger brother of the Li family.
"Please, bang bang me..." Fei Yan was not sure whether what the little brother Li said was true or false, but she could only believe him now.
She whispered a few prayers to the ground, looked up at the body covered with white cloth on the wooden board, and her inner emotions suddenly burst out: "Dad! Mom! Please! Help me!"
Please, open your eyes!"
The wailing in the mourning hall was heartbreaking.
The neighbors gathered in the hallway at the door couldn't help but feel pity after hearing this.
"Silly boy, even if they come back to life, how can they help you?"
"Why……"
"It's so pitiful..."
At the entrance of the main hall, relatives of the Liu family were gathered around. These men and women gathered together and formed a dense human wall, blocking the neighbors from seeing into the house.
The hunchbacked old woman stood at the threshold of the main room, looking at Liu Feiyan's thin back, and sneered;
Liu's eldest son, Liu Feiyan's uncle, curled his lips when he heard his niece's cry in the hall;
The third uncle of the Liu family shook his head helplessly;
The remaining uncles, aunts and other relatives either had expressionless faces or sneered.
"You are just pretending here, and you are trying to show me, an old woman, this cruel trick." The hunchbacked old woman lifted the crutch in her hand, and her cold eyes fell on Liu Feiyan's back, "In the final analysis, you just want to monopolize the legacy of your parents.
It’s nothing more than money and food inheritance!”
As she spoke, she suddenly dropped the crutch in her hand, squeezed her eyes, and all the wrinkles on her face gathered into her eye sockets - she looked sad and was about to kneel down towards the two corpses on the board tremblingly:
"My son, you died miserably...
There is only such an unfilial thing left behind, please open your eyes and take her away!
Son!"
The hunchbacked old woman was supported by her children behind her. She was struggling to kneel down in front of the two corpses on the board, and she was screaming at the top of her lungs. She squeezed her eyes hard, but she did not squeeze out a few tears, but her nose ran down.
Quite a few.
The more the children behind her tried to stop the hunchbacked old woman, the more energetic the old woman became: "Don't stop me! Don't stop me!"
Let me die in front of his soul!
Son!"
She howled again, but before she could finish her words, the layer of white cloth covering the body of Father Liu and Mother Liu suddenly started to tremble, rising and falling like a layer of water waves. Although this old woman was quite old, she could not see clearly.
Hua, who is not deaf, could see the white cloth shaking on the wooden board, as if the two corpses underneath were moving their muscles!
The hunchbacked old woman was so frightened that her breath stopped and she could no longer howl!
The few filial sons and grandsons who were supporting her also saw the movement under the white cloth, and they all retracted their hands and retreated into the crowd behind them. When they let go, the old woman leaned forward and kicked her toes.
When he reached the threshold, he stumbled into the main room and was lying down in front of two wooden boards!
Liu Feiyan knelt beside her and remained silent.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
At this time, the wooden board under the two corpses also shook violently.
Along with the shaking of the two wooden boards, the candle flame on the small altar table suddenly expanded greatly, and then contracted extremely small. As the flames continued to change, the light in the main room flickered on and off.
When the light was dim, it seemed that putrid blood was seeping out from the cracks in the wall, on the beams, and in the corners, and gradually spread on the floor!
"Oh my God!"
"The corpse has been raised! The corpse has changed!"
"Mom! Run!"
The relatives of the Liu family gathered at the door of the hall, seeing such horrific changes in the mourning hall, were so frightened that their hair stood up and they ran away in panic!
However, at this moment, the neighbors gathered in the hallway of the gatehouse. Seeing a commotion at the door of the hall, they couldn't help but be curious, and they all went forward to gather together. They crowded the relatives of the Liu family who were about to escape at the door, and put them in front of the door.
The escape routes for these people are blocked!
"Mother—mother—"
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from the main room!
There was no emotion in that voice. When a living person heard it, his whole body would immediately become cold and he would freeze in place, unable to move for a moment!
At this moment, both the spectators and the relatives of the Liu family could only stand where they were. Some kind of force that spread invisibly turned their heads towards the door of the hall, and their eyes were covered in blood.
In the main room, two corpses covered with white cloth on the wooden board slowly sat up and straightened their bodies on the wooden board!
The corpse water soaked into the white cloth covering their bodies, leaving humanoid outlines on the white cloth.
As the purple-red corpse water seeped out more and more, the head and face of the white cloth humanoid gradually revealed clear facial features - that was the face of the second son of the hunchbacked old woman, 'Liu Chuanjia', who was lying on the ground!
It’s the face of her second daughter-in-law ‘Hui Jincui’!
The clear facial features highlighted on the white cloth were all facing the hunchbacked old woman lying on the ground.
The hunchbacked old woman lowered her head tightly. From the corner of her eye, she could only see the wooden board shaking. She saw two pairs of pale and rotten soles exposed under the white cloth. She didn't see the two corpses on the wooden board yet. They both sat up straight.
!
Even so, when she heard a voice that was similar to Erzi's, but extremely cold, she was frightened to the point where she peed like urine!
A foul smell permeated the hall.
Liu Feiyan knelt down quietly in front of the altar table. The world in her eyes became clearer. She saw a tall gate tower standing in front of the wall facing the door. On the plaque on the gate tower, there were words written on it that she did not know.
Recognized words.
Downstairs from the Vermilion Gate, the two middle doors slowly opened.
A golden and purple silk ribbon was wrapped around a tall figure wearing a scarlet official robe, with his eyes closed and the wings of his hat trembling slightly. The terrifying figure sat firmly in front of the gate tower, surrounded by ferocious faces.
It randomly picked out two ghost faces and pasted them on the corpses of Liu Feiyan's parents.
Liu Feiyan's parents were able to sit up straight because of this!
"Brother Li has invited ghosts and gods to help him..." Liu Feiyan looked at the terrifying figure sitting in front of the gatehouse, but felt a sense of relaxation in his heart.
"Mother——"
The white cloth covering Father Liu's body slowly slipped away, revealing his highly decayed face.
The gray eyes in its sockets rotated, looking at the old woman with her forehead firmly pressed to the ground and her back bulging. A hollow and cold voice came from its mouth, like a gust of cold wind, entering every pore of everyone present.
: "You called me back and made me unable to rest in peace - for what reason..."
When the hunchbacked old woman heard that voice, she shivered all over. Now she no longer had to squeeze her eyes, tears and snot flowed freely on her face: "Mother, mother just misses you, mother misses you, son!"
I can’t delay your journey, son, you go back, you go back quickly!”
"father!"
At this time, Liu Feiyan suddenly kowtowed to the rotting corpse, tears rolling down his eyes: "I don't know where our family's money and food are hidden, and you never told me - grandma, uncle, third uncle,
Fourth uncle...they insist on saying that I know where the money and food are hidden!
Since you are back, please tell them personally where you hid the food and money?!"
Every time Liu Feiyan clicked on someone, one of them trembled all over, their arms and legs trembled, trying desperately to lower their heads, but an invisible force clamped their necks, forcing them to raise their heads and look directly at the people sitting on the wooden boards in the dim hall.
The two rotting corpses that got up!
The uncle's face turned pale, his face was distorted with fear, and he kept crying;
The third uncle tried to force a smile, but under the impact of the coldness, his eyes turned red and he peed on his crotch on the spot;
Many other relatives also behaved extremely badly, wailing and begging "Father Liu" who sat up in the main room for forgiveness!
The royal official seemed to have lost his soul. He kept nodding his head violently. Anyone close to him could hear the clicking sound of his neck as it shook up and down!
But he was using ‘nodding’ instead of ‘kowtowing’!
“When I was alive, I really didn’t hide any money or food anywhere, let me tell you—
Mother, why do you have to embarrass her, my only bloodline?" Father Liu on the wooden board turned his neck, and the rotten flesh on his neck fell off layer by layer. It looked at every relative of the Liu family present, and finally fixed its gaze on the hunchbacked old woman.
