Jiangxi Lin employs Mr. Liu Qiuya, who is open-minded and sneaky. He is diligent in reading and does not know how to work. He often reads at night and often forgets to sleep.
There is a young woman in the distance, spinning every night, the machine is dumb, and the autumn cliff has been heard for a long time. got used to it.
One night, it was after the second shift. Suddenly heard the sound of rustling outside the window, it was Haoyue in the sky at that time. Qiuya peered through the window and saw a woman looking around, walking around, as if looking for something. The woman held an object in her hand and planned to find a suitable place to hide it. Here and there, she felt wrong, changed the location several times, and finally buried the object in a pile of straw, and then left with peace of mind.
Qiuya waited for the woman to go away, and took the object out of the straw with a candle in her hand. It turned out that the object that the woman hid was a hemp rope, which was more than two feet long, no different from the hemp rope at home. It's just bad smell and vomiting. Qiu Ya thought to himself, this must be a deadly ghost. So he took the twine into the study, pressed it under the book, closed the door and waited for what was about to happen.
After a while, I suddenly heard the neighbour's sigh when she stopped the machine. After her sigh, she started crying again. Qiuya dug a small hole in the corner to see what was going on. I saw the female ghost running in front of the neighbor's wife just now, praying again and again.
The neighbour gradually moved for the female ghost. She looked at the beams of the house and she wanted to untie her belt to hang herself. The female ghost was very happy and hurriedly flew out of the window into the Qiuya courtyard, searching endlessly in the straw. Qiu Ya knew that she was looking for hemp rope. The woman's belt was not long and could not hang herself in knots, and could not call for help temporarily. Therefore, Qiu Ya remained silent, watched the changes, and continued to read. After a while, he heard a knock on the door. Qiu Ya screamed:
"You are a woman, I am a single man. You knock on the door in the middle of the night, how can I open the door to receive you? If you want to come in, you can come in by yourself..." "I just had one The object was lost outside your door, I know it was collected by the husband, please return it to the original owner."
Qiuya was as silent as ever, and said to the female ghost:
"Your things were indeed picked up by me. You see, they are under my book. If you can take it out of the book, You can get it yourself.
"The book of sages is up, how dare I get it, I hope Mr. will take it out and return it to me." "Since you don't dare to take it yourself, please do it yourself and leave here as soon as possible!"
"I still hope that Mr. will take it out for me. This is the wise thing about Mr., otherwise, Mr. will be shocked, why should you Suffer this misfortune.
Qiu Ya heard it, couldn't help laughing, and said to the female ghost:
"Since you are so confident, you might as well show your skills to see if I am frightened!"
"Mr. Blame me for being rude in front of you. "After that, the female ghost suddenly had a bloody face, and her red tongue stuck out of her mouth. She was more than a foot long, with her shaved head and her hair reaching her waist. For a while, she looked savagely towards Qiuya, as if she was about to tear Qiuya into captivity. ; For a while, she kept crying, and exchanged blood and tears; for a while, weird laughter, her long tongue flipped up and down, stretching and shrinking. After a certain action, the female ghost was panting. Qiuya sat firmly on the chair, holding a book in one hand, and stroking the case with the other. Still leisurely, as if watching a cat frolicking, and said to the female ghost:
"All this is your true face, and what's so terrible." Is your ability so great?"
Seeing that Qiuya is so bold, the female ghost retracted her tongue and immediately transformed into a young girl, charming and charming, approaching Qiuya, first flirting with her brows, and then making all kinds of lustful gestures Qiu Ya watched with cold eyes, this kind of provocation that ordinary people could not break away, but Qiu Ya was not tempted at all.
The female ghost was so poor at this point that she knelt in front of Qiu Ya and pleaded in every way. Qiu Ya asked her for twine. What's the reason for this? The female ghost said:
"Ask the husband for hemp rope, so that my neighbour can replace me, so that I can get out of the sea of suffering. Please take pity on me and save me. "Qiu Ya said:
"If so, those who die will look for a substitute for the dead,When is it over? How can I cause the living to die in order to help you, the dead, Yin Cao Jifu, I don't know who created this law, and I don't know what government official enforced this law. This method makes the living have unpredictable disasters at any time, and also causes the ghosts to suffer a lot of torture. I will write to Minsi to analyze the affair with them, get rid of this convention, and enable you to be born again. "
The female ghost is very lucky and said:
"If this is possible, then it is my fortunate, I dare not look for the dead again. "
Qiu Ya fetched a vermilion pen to finish the letter, and asked the female ghost to take the letter back to the underworld. The female ghost said, "My husband burns the letter, so I can hold the letter in my hand. Qiu Ya uses the candlelight to hold the letter." The letter burned and the ashes fell to the ground, and the letter was intact in the female ghost's hands. The female ghost asked for the twine from Qiu Ya, and Qiu Ya removed the book, and the rope was also held in the female ghost's hands. The female ghost was extremely happy. , Thanks and go away.
Qiuya looked at her neighbour again, already sitting calmly next to the loom, still spinning. The neighbour no longer had any move to look for death.
