It was still sunny when I went up the mountain, but in a blink of an eye, dark clouds overwhelmed me.
Chen Xiqiao and his party had to take refuge in a manor in the mountains first. A plaque on the gate of Zhuangmen was cruel. He took twelve taels of silver and sued the county government. The county magistrate is a corrupt official. Knowing that the old rich family has a lot of money, he thinks it is too shabby and stingy to complain only with twelve taels of silver. But on second thought, twelve taels of silver are also silver. No matter what you do, you'd better take them first. However, you can't win the case this time. Let's talk about it next time! Therefore, my heart will first "decide without trial". On his forehead was written the words "Luomei Villa".
At the moment when the gate was opened, no one saw it. At first, a group of opera fans were watching. When they suddenly heard the sound of "good", they couldn't help but be flustered, so they frowned one after another, and some even prepared to reprimand them severely in applause. But everyone looked inside and suddenly fell silent, because the cheering person turned out to be Zhou Zhifu-I don't know when Zhou Zhifu also came to Jinghe Opera Garden to watch the play. The refreshing smell came to my face and everyone's spirit did it one brace up.
The door was opened by an old woman with beautiful hair. The old woman is very enthusiastic and willing to provide convenience.
They followed her into the highlands. During the conversation, I learned that the old woman and her son and daughter-in-law lived here. My son is in poor health and likes the quiet mountains. "Sure, just a moment, please. I'll be ready at once." Fitness is very convenient.
There is a huge red plum tree in the garden, which is fragrant with the cold wind. Chen Xiqiao has never seen such lush red berries. Just a tree, the branches spread and spread, occupying almost the whole yard.
The old woman said with a smile, it is strange that this red plum has been in bloom for more than half a month, but it has only blossomed, but it has not fallen. After that, she smiled and folded a best and densest red plum and gave it to Chen Xiqiao: "Since the official likes it, take it and enjoy it."
Chen Xiqiao took the red plum with both hands and said thank you.
As soon as everyone sat down in the class, it began to snow in the gray sky, and it rained harder and harder, and it didn't stop at night. The old lady is really hospitable. She not only keeps them overnight, but also cooks and prepares hot soup and meals.
Only then did I see the daughter-in-law of the old woman. She didn't go forward, just stood outside the door, lowered her head slightly to one side, and helped her mother-in-law carry the dishes, which were brought in by her mother-in-law one by one. But Chen Xiqiao secretly pay attention to, is enough to see her appearance.
That * * * is at most eighteen or nineteen years old, with big watery eyes and an ape's back. It's wonderful! Chen Xiqiao saw it in his eyes and itched in his heart.
Chen Xiqiao's biggest problem: color.
An attendant named Cui Niu saw at a glance that Chen Xiqiao had moved his mind and leaned down with a smile: "The big official really has a vision."
Chen Xiqiao squinted and scolded him with a smile: "You are sharp-eyed." Zhang Hanchong couldn't help wondering: Is the magistrate sick? No, even if you have an acute illness, the housekeeper of Maofu doesn't need to invite you. Zhang Hanchong wanted to think, or packed my medicine cabinet and followed Yao Jun out of the door.
Cui Niu is about to take office as a new official. First of all, he must know the local customs and historical anecdotes. There are only two channels to understand these: reading county records and going to the countryside. On the way to the countryside for inspection, the official only talked to the head of the sedan chair. Therefore, the bearers should not only be strong, but also know something about guns, at least be able to answer questions. When answering questions, we should master the sense of proportion: speak too little and officials can't understand; Talking too much makes officials unhappy ―― therefore, this sedan chair has a bad head! A few words, suddenly another man named Lao Shui interjected unhappily: "We are sheltering from the snow in other people's gardens now, but you are making these crooked thoughts here."
Cui Niu snorted and said, "Don't put on airs here. Last year was a good thing. If it weren't for you to let the little lady loose the rope, how could you let the big officer fight a life lawsuit and pay so much money ... "
"All right!" Chen Qiao cold voice cut off. Cui Niu saw Chen Xiqiao's face changed, only to know that he just wanted to insult Lao Shui, but accidentally touched Chen Xiqiao's heart.
Chen Xiqiao thought of the woman, and felt that the lotus flower flashed before his eyes, as if he were rushing at me with blood and shame. His lust faded and he sighed and said, "Old water makes sense. Go to bed early and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. "
Everyone stayed at "Luomei Villa" that night. Chen Xiqiao occupied a room by himself, and those followers naturally didn't pay attention to him, so several people crowded into a room next to him.
Second, the bones hand
Chen Xiqiao is a person who is used to sleeping in a gentle country. Just now, he said that the Emperor of Song Dynasty was not greedy for women, which was a good thing for Emperor Mao, not only for your future, but also for the breakfast banquet. Because he has never made a fortune in Thailand, he has always been a hero of iron and blood, and he walks straight without evil. Then read his story "A Thousand Miles to Beijing Niang". Exactly: where can I sleep? He tossed and turned for a long time, and finally got up with his clothes on. When he has nothing to do, he wants to enjoy red berries.
But looking back, the original red plum on the table disappeared, and I couldn't find it after looking for it for a long time. Chen Xiqiao didn't care much, sitting in front of the brazier to keep warm, but strangely, no matter how hard he tried to stir the fire, his body was still cold, and he even felt a chill on his back, which was still climbing around his neck! Satin fabrics make a slight noise when rubbed.
Chen Xiqiao's shortness of breath. Suddenly, he got up the courage and grabbed the object.
My hands are as cold as ice. Trembling, he brought the things in his hand to him, immediately let out a scream and threw them on the ground. It turned out to be a human hand with dense bones!
Cui Niu and Lao Shui were quickly awakened and rushed in in a panic.
Chen Xiqiao pointed to his bony hand and could not speak. The whole person trembled with fear. They looked in the direction of his finger, but only saw a red plum!
They asked Chen Xiqiao what was going on, and even he didn't know. What did he say? Had to casually perfunctory. After that, everyone left one person to watch in front of Chen Xiqiao's bed, and everyone else dispersed.
This night, so in the past. Chen Xiqiao just lay there until dawn.
The next morning, Chen Xiqiao got up in a hurry to leave, but the weather was not good. The goose feather and snow drifted from dawn to dark, and it didn't get smaller at all. Even the red plums are covered with snow, and no red flowers can be seen.
That night, I had to stay again.
Perhaps because of familiarity, at dinner, my daughter-in-law finally stopped standing outside the hall and came in with her mother-in-law carrying hot dishes. When she gently put a bowl of hot noodles in front of Chen Xiqiao, Chen Xiqiao clearly saw that she suddenly looked at herself with flowing eyes.
Chen Xiqiao's heart moved.
Cui Niu smiled and leaned in: "Big officer, it seems that this little lady is interested in you!" "Then he lowered his voice absurdly." Maybe I'll come to see you at night! "
Chen Xiqiao criticized him and didn't say much to him. When I went back to my room alone at night, Chen Xiqiao saw Hongmei again, and finally I was a little unhappy. Put your hands up and throw them into the brazier.
That night, I don't know when to sleep, Chen Xiqiao was awakened by a burst of fragrant laughter. In this villa, except for the old woman, there is only her daughter-in-law. Chen Xiqiao suddenly remembered Cui Niu's laughter when eating, and his heart moved, so he put on his clothes and got up.
He opened the door, and standing at the door was the daughter-in-law of this family. She didn't panic at all when she saw Chen Xiqiao. The night is fresh and elegant, a little more beautiful than the day.
Chen Xiqiao was overjoyed, grabbed her snow-white hand and pulled her into the room.
At this point, there is no need to say anything. Chen Xiqiao hugged her intimately, but the daughter-in-law didn't push or stop, just smiled and hid her face. Two people stumbled down on the bed.
Chen Xiqiao was anxious to untie his wife's clothes. The daughter-in-law just chuckled. The room was dark, except for the fading sparks in the brazier. Chen Xiqiao held her daughter-in-law, and touched her chest with one hand. She only felt very greasy ... it seemed smooth ... and a little cold. Guo Sizong quickly jumped off his horse and knelt down to take orders. Wet and slippery.
Chen Xiqiao unconsciously slowly withdrew his hand, looked down by the faint fire, and suddenly gasped: his palm was actually red and still dripping blood.
Chen Xiqiao suddenly didn't dare to look at that close face. His eyes widened and his bloody palms kept shaking. Then he quietly moved his eyes to the chest of * * *, and with one look, he almost screamed.
There is a bloody big hole in the woman's chest, and her skin is festering, revealing dense bones ... "Big official, big official!"
Frequent shouts seem to come from far away places. When Chen Xiqiao flashed in his mind and opened his eyes again, he saw Cui Niu and others standing in front of the couch to see him. He suddenly remembered the terrible thing last night and looked down at his hands and bed. There is not a drop of blood, and there is no trace of others.
Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thought, Did you have a nightmare?
Old water eyes, always feel a little uncomfortable. Service road: "Officer, the heavy snow finally stopped today. Why don't we go down the mountain early? "
Third, sexual desire is overwhelming.
I don't know. Although the snow stopped today, it froze. The mountain road was slippery and I couldn't get down at all, so I had to stay for another night.
Chen Xiqiao felt that it was inappropriate to inquire about the old lady's sick son in the village for many days, so he took the initiative to visit her. The old woman smiled and said some polite words, and then took him to the inner city herself.
In the room, * * * is doing needlework on the stool in front of the sofa. Seeing Chen Xiqiao and the old woman come in, I quickly dropped my needle and thread to escape.
The old woman smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, our family is not as good as before. Since senior officials are willing to visit the doctor sincerely, let's not care too much. "
* * * This reluctantly stayed and whispered: "I just took medicine, and I am afraid of falling asleep."
This is the first time Chen Xiqiao heard her talk, but somehow she felt a little familiar.
When Chen Xiqiao went back, he found Lao Shui and others waiting for him. Cui Niu smiled and said, "Did you see the little lady and the big official again?" Chen laughed and became more and more courageous. "Why don't you just take her away?"
Hearing this, Laoshui quickly interrupted: "My mother-in-law and" xianggong "are here, you ..."
Before he finished, Cui Niu interrupted him: "It seems that you have never done it before, but you are too clumsy!" " Go back and coax Chen Xiqiao, "God repeatedly won't let us go, maybe I don't have the heart to let the big officer let this little lady go!" Besides, isn't it better to follow the big official than to guard a sick seedling in this barren mountain? "
Chen Xiqiao was moved, and his lust became timid: "What do you mean ..."
Cui Niu made a gesture of raising his hand and putting down his knife, looked at Chen Xiqiao and smiled: "Don't worry, what I do will not be better than old water, and I will do it beautifully!"
The night is deep again. The snow outside is freezing hard, and it is cold and silver in the moonlight.
The old woman and daughter-in-law waited on their son, and the magistrate finally recognized the eyebrows. I didn't expect this arson case to lead to an old case today! So he patted the gavel again and asked, "Li Hongda, is what she just said true?" Took the medicine again. Daughter-in-law helped her mother-in-law into the wing, and then took out the medicine bowl and medicine jar by herself. Just walked out of the door, suddenly a shadow jumped out, hugged her in one hand and stuck a cold dagger on her neck in the other. She was taken aback and immediately lost the medicine bowl and jar, which fell with a bang.
The old woman's voice came from the room: "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter?" Daughter-in-law did not dare to make any noise, but looked at Chen Xiqiao's evil face in horror. "Don't be afraid of money, I'll give you as much as you want, even if you lose all your money," said Cai Yuan, who can cure the disease, and quickly knelt in front of the old man. Others also "sou" into the house.
After a while, an old woman and a man came out of the house and cried weakly, "What are you doing?"
Chen Xiqiao smiled and dragged his daughter-in-law into the house. Cui Niu is very decent and has tied the old woman and her son together. The man was forcibly pulled down from the hospital bed, and now he is feebly paralyzed on the ground, coughing with his head down. The old woman hugged his shoulder in panic and sobbed, "What a shame! I treat you well, but you bite the hand that feeds you! "
Chen Xiqiao frowned and sneered: "I am not a heartless person. As long as your daughter-in-law obediently follows me, I am willing to give you a large sum of money as my dowry. "
The old woman trembled with anger: "There is no reason to give someone else's wife a bride price!" " Then I spit in Chen Xiqiao's face with all my strength.
When Chen Xiqiao was in a daze, Li Gui, the daughter-in-law of this family, knew that she had made a fortune, and Mr. Feng Shui played an important role. So I want to honor my promise and give Mr. Feng Shui a pen to reward silver. To show sincerity, Gui Li personally went to Mr. Feng Shui's house. The woman also broke free and tried to take his dagger. Chen Xiqiao quickly pulled his daughter-in-law forward, but she just wouldn't let go. Listen to "sloped", she suddenly stopped. ...
Chen Xiqiao was stunned and everyone stared at him. A burst of blood "poof" KuangPen out, like thick hot blood rain, poured Chen Xiqiao a head and a face. ...
Now that everyone is dead, Chen Xiqiao simply did the bad thing to the end and shouted to Cui Niu and others: "What are you waiting for?"
Cui Niu Yi knife, silver flash, knife into the man's back. The man only uttered a very dull cry of pain, and without even struggling, he was completely quiet. On the other hand, the old woman was pushed to the ground before she could grieve for her son's death. Chen Xiqiao stepped forward in three or two steps and stabbed her in the chest.
Within a foot, three lives were lost. The whole garden is dead, except for the cold wind.
Suddenly, the old water let out a scream of horror, and everyone was shocked. His mouth kept shaking, as if to say something, but he was too scared to say it.
Chen Xiqiao stepped forward and picked up his collar. "What are you shaking?" He whispered.
The old water cried with fear. He grabbed Chen Xiqiao's bloody hand and said, "Officer, have you really forgotten?" This scene, this scene is not exactly the same as that day? "
Chen Xiqiao's brain Liu Ying's words were heard by Chunsheng who was hiding nearby. As soon as his eyes rolled, his thoughts came to mind. Suddenly, the sky was clear, and suddenly, many pictures appeared. A woman was pressed to the ground by him, and she still had a rope that had just been untied, which could not be taken down before. During the struggle, he was stabbed in the chest, and blood poured out like a flood, drenching him all over.
Someone came running crying. That's an old woman and a patient. He also took these people at that time, only one Cui Niu was missing. They helped him tie the knot for two girls. At that time, a lot of blood was shed ... the land was red with blood, like a lake.
Fourth, what goes around comes around.
Chen Xiqiao woke up with a start and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Chen Xiqiao quickly turned around and saw that all three bodies were gone, and everyone was shocked.
Old water screamed first. Then everyone, including Chen Xiqiao himself, was very confused, and everyone just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Just then, the corridor disappeared, the house disappeared, and the furniture and chairs were gone. They are standing in the cold and empty Shan Ye.
Only the red plum bloomed proudly in the cold, and the red flowers grew out of the thick snow like fire, and soon all the snow was shaken off. But it didn't stop growing, but grew more rapidly and crazily. In the silent night, my ears are full of "clicking" sounds, just like thousands of bones in Qian Qian are constantly stretching and swinging.
They all turned pale with fear. Very not easy to have a staggered up, was about to escape, then see red plum suddenly burst out of a branch, "poof", plunged into the man's chest. Seeing the man wailing twice on the plum branch, he collapsed and became a shriveled and thin human shell.
Plum trees suddenly grew up, the black branches turned into thick white, and the red plum blossoms gradually melted into blood, penetrating the chests of one living person after another ... No one can escape. On a dark night, the cold snow light and the silver moonlight complement each other. It turned out to be a bloody plum tree with human bones.
Chen Xiqiao and Lao Shui were the last to be penetrated. Chen Xiqiao wears not only his chest, but also his hands and feet. Bai Sen's plum branches shook violently, dragging him to the plum tree and passing through one shriveled human shell after another.
Chen Xiqiao stopped in front of the plum tree and gasped. Pain and fear tormented him. He still doesn't understand what is going on.
As if answering his question, a man's laughter suddenly sounded in the wilderness.
He barely opened his eyes, only to see Cuiniu standing under the moon and smiling at him. He quickly shouted, "help me, help me!" " "Cui Niu just smiled, and Chen Xiqiao understood:" Who are you? You, are you a person or a ghost? "
"I am neither a man nor a ghost." When she spoke, Cui Niu had turned into an old woman with gray temples. When she spoke again, even her voice changed. "I'm just a flower lover."
Chen Xiqiao couldn't understand what she was saying.
The old woman helped him understand: "Do you know that there is an extremely rare plum called' human bone plum' in this world?" It can't be planted in the soil, only in the pride of strange girls in the world. I took that seed all over the country and finally found such a pair of pride here.
"When she was alive, you seduced her with wealth, and she didn't commit adultery; You threatened her, she didn't give in, and finally she died by your sword in resistance. You killed her mother-in-law and her husband. Although her flesh has been eaten up by ants and wolves, her pride is even awe of ghosts and gods. "
Chen Xiqiao said in horror: "This is a trap that you have already set ..."
"I have given you a chance!" The old woman laughed and interrupted, "If you didn't start your desire and murder again, how did you come to such a field?" Everything is your choice. "
"Help!" Chen Xiqiao shouted: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" " "
The old woman smiled and said, "You won't die. As long as she lives, you will live with her. She gives you the essence every day, even if you keep bleeding, you won't die, but the pain is inevitable. You will live forever in the pain of all your limbs being pierced and all your internal organs being smashed. "
Chen Xiqiao opened his eyes in disbelief. The next moment, countless plum branches pierced his body, and even his stomach was opened from the inside by a bunch of plum branches ... A man suddenly screamed in the silent forest, but he was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
Verb (short for verb) survivor
Three months later, Chen, who was looking for Chen Xiqiao everywhere, finally found his original root in the flower market. Huang Laohan went down to his daughter's house in a rage and saw the young couple talking to each other. My daughter is alive and well, not only her legs are fine, but her eyes are still so bright. Just when she was suspicious, the old lady led several young people to pull some dowries. Confused the young couple. Speaking of old water. Lao Shui was delirious and had a big bloody hole in his chest. It turned out that he was a famous soldier on the border and was good at running. His nickname is "Scud". In recent years, there were frequent wars in Song and Liao countries, and it was Qian Qian soldiers who guarded the border like Zheng Zhong to prevent the enemy from invading. You can't be straight, but you won't die. Every time I catch someone, I nag in horror and tell that absurd story.
Some people believe that some people don't believe it, and some people ask him, "Why are you the only one who hasn't died?"
He said, "I won't die because I secretly untied the rope for that woman."
When others ask him again, he won't say anything, only repeatedly saying, "The head of all evil, a good woman in the world can't be humiliated." Said and left.
