Fan Yang's eyes twitched and he said: "The fate of ghosts cannot be calculated. By the time I noticed it, it was already too late."
"She laughed crazily at me proudly, and her voice turned into the familiar voice of Xiao Yu'er's mother."
"She told me that she came back to take revenge. To take revenge on Fan Kang and the Fan family."
"She wanted me to bear the retribution of heaven, so that she could drag everyone in the Fan family to be buried with her.
Fan Yang pinched the end of the cigarette that had been extinguished and said with dry lips: "Being able to condense evil spirits with resentment after death is obviously someone secretly helping Xiao Yu'er's mother."
"Otherwise she dies miserably on the street, and even if she doesn't go to the underworld, she can only be regarded as a new-born lonely ghost. She will never have such powerful means."
"I have a rough guess about who is helping her."
"But the fault of this matter lies with the Fan family. The Fan family is ashamed of her. No matter how hateful or angry I am, I can't bring myself to do anything to her."
"So I watched her leave without even a chance to ask for fortune-telling money."
"I accidentally broke two of the three taboos in fortune telling. As a last resort, it is also a disaster that the Fan family must bear."
Fan Yang's words shocked me and made my hair stand on end.
Worlds, full of wonders.
When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell many stories about mountain spirits and ghosts, such as yellow-skinned men repaying kindness, vixens taking revenge, hedgehogs marrying women, etc.
Among them, I remember the story of the vixen's revenge the most clearly, because it was the first story my grandfather told me.
And this story, I think, is very similar to what happened to the Fan family.
They are all the revenge of ghosts and evil spirits.
It is said that thirty years ago, there lived a family named Niu in a small town. The old couple were both in their twenties, and they only had an only son who was doing business outside. He was still unmarried when he was over thirty.
I work hard outside all year round, and often come back only once every few years, so only the old couple live in the huge courtyard.
One day, the couple were chatting at home when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When Old Man Niu opened the door, he saw a lean old man with a white beard standing outside the door. He looked to be in his sixties and was still leaning on his hand.
When he saw him, he bowed and said: "My surname is Hu Mingyan. I heard that your family has a spare house. I want to rent a few rooms to accommodate my family. I wonder if it is convenient."
After listening to what he said, Old Man Niu realized that this man was here to rent a house. Looking at his words, he was courteous and knowledgeable, and he didn't seem to be an evil person or a thief.
Then I thought that the house at home was empty anyway, so I might as well rent it to him, which would relieve his temporary needs and make some profit for myself.
So I discussed it with my wife and finally agreed. After the two parties agreed on the rent, they rented the three houses in the backyard to an old man named Hu.
Hu Yan was a cheerful person. Not only did he give them the rent on the same day, but he also paid half a year's rent at once.
When Old Man Niu was happy, he asked him when he would bring his family to move in. Hu Yan said that he would go back and make preparations and come the next day. After that, he said goodbye.
On the second day, the Niu couple waited at home all day but did not see Hu Yan coming, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Seeing that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, but Hu Yan had not yet appeared, Old Man Niu thought that he would not come, so he asked his wife to go back to the house to rest first, and then closed the door himself.
But just as he was closing the door, he suddenly heard the sound of wheels coming. Old man Niu was surprised. He looked up and saw Hu Yan driving several carriages to the front of the house.
Old man Niu knew that this was a member of the Hu family, so he didn't have the nerve to take a closer look. He greeted Hu Yan from a distance and went back to his room. He could vaguely see about a dozen people, men, women, and children, through the window, all coming one after another.
Went into the backyard and stayed.
After seven or eight days, Old Man Niu discovered that the gate to the backyard was often locked. Occasionally, only Hu Yan was seen walking in and out with a cane, and the rest of the people could only hear his voice but not see him.
At first, Old Man Niu felt a little strange, but as time passed, he found that there were no other abnormalities.
Hu Yan would greet him politely every morning and evening when he went out, and over time the couple became accustomed to it.
Two months later, one morning, Hu Yan hurriedly found Mr. Niu and said that he was in a hurry and had to go on a long trip. His wife and young son at home hoped that Mr. Niu and his wife could help take care of him.
After hearing this, Old Man Niu nodded in agreement without hesitation. After all, Hu Yan's family kept to themselves, and the couple were very satisfied with such a tenant.
When Hu Yan saw that he agreed, he was very grateful and couldn't help but express his thanks, and then went out and left.
Unexpectedly, on the first night after Hu Yan left, the Niu family had just gone to bed when they heard a burst of noise and laughter coming from the backyard. After a while, it turned into a cry, and the noises continued one after another until
It was almost dawn when there was no movement.
Old man Niu and his wife were disturbed all night and were very angry. They got up early the next morning and went to the backyard to check, hoping that Hu Yan's family would be quiet.
Unexpectedly, he knocked at the door for a long time but no one answered, so he had no choice but to come back.
I was looking forward to having a good night's sleep the next night, but I didn't expect that the sound of laughing and playing could be heard from the backyard again in the middle of the night. The quarrel between Old Man Niu and his wife made them irritable and they tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep. In the end, Old Man Niu couldn't bear it anymore.
After staying, he rushed to the backyard and shouted inside: "Guest, can you please be quiet and stop disturbing others' rest?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent for a moment. Old Man Niu waited for a while and saw that no one came out to answer, so he prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
