Chapter 397 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
The village chief and the elders who came with him all took a breath of air-conditioning. The people watching outside were also startled, and they all became quiet for a while, which was a bit eerie.
The ancients were superstitious and believed that if a woman wearing red clothes died suddenly, she would turn into a ghost, and she would be a very powerful ghost that would come back to claim her life.
As for Li Liangniang's red dress, it was wrinkled, the color had faded away, and the size didn't fit very well. It was tight and worn outside the dress. It should have been the wedding dress she wore when she got married.
The things at the bottom of the box were pulled out to scare people, which really calmed everyone down.
"If we don't leave, if we are forced to leave, I will die and turn into a ghost so that you will not have peace!" Li Liangniang shouted at the top of her voice, "Even if you drive us out now, I can still die and come back to take revenge!"
On the other side, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen came over early in the morning to deliver ointment to Li Liang. They didn't know that Li Liang had been sent to Nanling Village.
When the two of them entered the village, they heard about it from the villagers. They were about to go to Nanling Village instead when they heard a little baby shouting: "Li Liangniang is going to turn into a red ghost and come to claim her life!"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
This thing is too superstitious.
"Let's go and treat her." Bai Banxia winked at Qi Zhen,
Qi Zhen laughed, "Why don't you get some black dog blood or something?"
"Don't do it, don't do it. Killing a dog is too bloody. If she can really turn into a ghost, I can kill a rooster." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
The two of them went to Li's house talking and laughing. There were already many villagers watching on the roadside. They saw that the two of them were not nervous at all and actually calmed down a lot.
In the courtyard of the Li family, Mrs. Li was crying again. While crying, she scolded the Zhang family for running against them and driving them to death.
Bai Banxia walked straight into the yard and said to Li Liangniang: "I heard that the souls of those who raise Gu are sacrificed to the Gu God after they die, and they cannot turn into ghosts at all. I don't know if it is true. Since you want to die, then just be happy
It just so happens that we can also see whether you turned into a ghost after your death or whether you have no soul."
"You, you fart, I didn't raise Gu." Li Liangniang was shocked, why didn't she know what kind of souls were sacrificed to the Gu God?
"Do you really don't know or are you pretending not to know? Otherwise, if you really want to become a red-clothed ghost, it will be more powerful if you die at night, and it will be useless in broad daylight. Or you know that your soul will be gone when you die, but it is just a bluff.
Are you bluffing everyone?" Bai Banxia asked.
"I didn't raise Gu, how could I sacrifice my soul? Don't talk nonsense." Li Liangniang's face was pale, and when highlighted by the faded old clothes, her face really looked like a ghost.
Bai Banxia smiled and said: "You made a poison to frame my grandpa's family. What's that but raising a poison? Even if you get it, you really don't know, right? Who came up with this idea? Didn't they tell you this?
?”
Li Liangniang quickly looked towards Mrs. Li in the room. Her movements and demeanor showed that she was questioning her mother-in-law. It was obvious that Mrs. Li said this method.
Last night, the village chief discussed with several elders of the village. These families also knew about the Li family's actions, but not everyone in the village knew that the Li family used Gu insects to frame the Zhang family. At this moment, after listening to Bai Banxia and Li Liangniang's words
During the conversation, and looking at Li Liangniang's panicked look, I knew that this must be true.
"Are the Li family crazy? Just because they mistakenly heard that they would pay ten times the compensation, they actually did that thing?"
"Yesterday, the Zhang family didn't show off in front of high officials, otherwise Mrs. Li, Li Shuanzi and his wife would have lost their heads. The Zhang family has done its best to be benevolent and righteous."
"It's too scary. Let them get out of here. Otherwise, will the village still have peace?"
"..."
The village chief also noticed that Li Liangniang didn't dare to die at all, but was just trying to scare everyone with the story of a fierce ghost in red. He and several elders signaled to each other, and immediately had the three of them tied up and thrown out of the village.
"Li Shuanzi, if you want to sell off your land, we won't take advantage of you. Just come back and do it yourself. But if you dare to cause trouble, don't blame us for being rude!" the village chief said sternly.
Mrs. Li's pants were stained with blood, and she was lying on the roadside at the entrance of the village crying. It seemed that the wound where she had been hit by the board had opened again, and she was in excruciating pain.
Bai Banxia walked over and said calmly: "If you make more noise, the court officials will come later. When they hear this, see if you will be arrested and beheaded."
Qi Zhen took out a folded piece of paper from his arms. He didn't know what was written on the paper. He held it up and said, "The evidence is all here. I just want to spare your life for Li Liang's sake. If you don't believe me, I'm sorry."
Try it."
Facing his cold eyes, Mrs. Li shuddered, and no longer dared to howl, and was finally carried away by her son.
When the others walked away, Bai Banxia approached Qi Zhen and asked, "What kind of paper is it?"
"A letter to the governor." Qi Zhen smiled and stuffed it back into his chest.
Bai Banxia burst into laughter, "You can bluff people much better than the female ghost in red."
"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." Qi Zhen said in a low voice.
Afterwards, the village chief ordered a few people to keep an eye on the village entrance to prevent the Li family from coming back.
Bai Banxia saw that there was nothing else to do in Fengshu Village, so she told the village chief that she was going to Nanling Village to deliver medicine to Li Liang.
"Thank you very much. That kid Li Liang is also pitiful. He will stay with his grandfather's family from now on," the village chief said.
Bai Banxia nodded, "Maybe this is better for him."
Afterwards, the two went to Wang's house in Nanling Village, disinfected and applied medicine to Li Liang's leg, and then re-tied the splint.
"Sister Banxia, brother Qizhen, thank you." Li Liang thanked him again.
"You've thanked me several times. Even if we don't know each other, I won't care if you get hurt. You don't have to be too polite." Bai Banxia said helplessly.
Li Liang lowered his head and drooped his eyelids, "I just want to thank you for not reporting the Gu bug incident to the imperial officials."
He heard from his grandpa today that if the Zhang family broke out at that time, his father and mother would most likely be beheaded, and even he would most likely be exiled.
He never regretted going to report the news to Bai Banxia and the others. At this moment, he also understood the old saying: harming others will ultimately harm yourself.
Qi Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of yourself. Your grandpa was very kind to you. Please honor them in the future."
Li Mingliang nodded, "Okay."
After leaving Wang's house, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen went directly to Mr. Nan's house. Mr. Nan was in Nanling Village. Since they were here, there was no reason not to visit.
Mr. Nan was giving a lecture to Erlang. Bai Banxia signaled not to disturb them and went to talk to Mrs. Nan and Nan Qian. Qi Zhen said hello to her and said he would go to work first and go back to Bai's house later.
"Ban Xia, when will you serve the wine?" Mrs. Nan explained to Qi Zhen in detail when she saw him leaving. She asked with a smile as soon as they left.
"What kind of wine are you serving?" Bai Banxia asked confused.
"Wedding wine." Mrs. Nan pursed her lips and snickered.
