In ancient times, there was a vendor in Yunyang named Yin Ming. He had a son named Fugui, who was just five years old this year. On weekdays, Yin Ming went out to do some small business, and his wife Lan took care of the elderly and children at home.
In the spring of this year, Yin Ming made a lot of money. On the way home, Yin Ming saw a gentry selling his house at a low price. Yin Ming ordered the silver he earned, and happened to have enough money in his pocket and bought the house. Soon after, he brought his wife Lan and son Fugui to live in Xinzhai. When he first moved in, his wife was happy to see the spacious, bright, clean and tidy new house. She asked Yin Ming in confusion: "Why should such a good house be sold?"
"I was lucky too. The owner was anxious to sell it, and it happened to make me catch up!" After that, Yin Ming and his wife told the price and said in confusion: "As for why he wanted to sell it, I can't figure it out, and I didn't ask!"
Lan did not ask again, and praised her husband for his good luck and vision, but their son Fugui had a gloomy face and did not seem to like this house. Yin Ming and Lan asked him the reason, and Fugui muttered and said that he always felt that someone was staring at him and felt uncomfortable. Yin Ming and Lan both think that the child is young and is a little adaptable when he comes here, and it will be fine after a while.
One night, Yin Ming and Lan's couple just fell asleep when they heard Fugui shouting, "Did you see the person standing in the middle of the yard? It's near that big tree."
Yin Ming didn't care. After hearing this, Lan said furiously, "What are you talking about? Go to bed quickly, there are no people!" After that, she glanced around the yard and found no figure. Yin Ming fell asleep without caring.
"But that figure keeps staring at us, how can I sleep?" Fugui added after saying that, "You should let this white shadow go away."
These words made Lan's heart feel irritated. She woke Yin Ming up and said, "Get up quickly. Our son said there is a figure under the big tree in the yard, but I can't find it. Go and see if there is a thief at home."
Yin Ming rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat on the bed to look out the window. After looking around, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep again, and said angrily, "There is no figure. The moonlight outside is bright and there is nothing. Go to bed quickly."
Lan's heart was a little calmer when he heard this, but Fugui cried and said, "It's clear that there is someone. Look at him wearing white clothes, with hair disheveled, and the rope around his neck can be seen clearly. Why can't you see it?"
Fugui said this, both the couple had no intention of sleeping. Yin Ming stood up and walked around the yard. He felt the wind was gusts and the cold air was so cold that he could see nothing, but he also felt the suffocating atmosphere around him. So he hurried back to the room, blocked the window with wooden boards, and then comforted his son. Fugui then fell asleep uneasy.
As soon as the daylight was dawn, Lan said to Yin Ming, "I didn't sleep well last night. There should be no problem with this house!"
Yin Ming pondered for a while, "We don't steal or rob, nor have we done anything that hurts the sky. Even if there are ghosts, they won't harm us. Besides, there are people everywhere nearby. What kind of ghosts dare to come to a place with strong yang energy?"
Lan said worriedly, "The child always said what to do if someone outside the door? You can't keep blocking the window with wooden boards."
Yin Ming pretended to be indifferent and said, "It's good to live for a while, the child is talking nonsense. The child is talking nonsense. It's not new, don't care. "
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Fugui continued, "I dreamed of a person last night. The height of this person was exactly the same as what I saw last night. He was a woman. She even talked to me!"
Yin Ming was stunned when he heard this, and Lan's face changed drastically and asked hurriedly, "What? Then... what did she say... what did she say?"
" Just say that we live in her house, and the bed was also hers, and we asked us to help her avenge her. "
Yin Ming heard this, his heart kept jumping in his heart, and quickly covered the child's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense.Then Yin Ming invited many Taoist priests and and monks to do rituals. Each monk and Taoist priest said that the evil spirit in the house had been eliminated, but at night, he would still dream of a woman in white standing there. This made Yin Ming puzzled. He asked his neighbors what strange things had happened in this house? Neighbors nearby all said that they had lived in the courtyard before, and they had never seen them arguing. They did not believe that there was anything strange in the courtyard. Lan's half-believing and half-doubtedly asked what type of person the former homeowner and. The neighbor tells the story of the former owner of the house, Cao Ping. Although he doesn't like to speak on weekdays, he has never heard of any conflict with anyone. He heard that his son made a fortune in the capital. A few days ago, he took Cao Ping's wife over to enjoy the blessing, leaving Cao Ping alone to sell the house and then reunite. He was anxious and wanted to go to the city, so he sold his old house at a low price to reunite with his wife and children in the capital.
The Yin Ming and his wife were so worried that they felt that the problem was with their children, so they took Fugui to see the doctor. After watching, the doctor thought the child had hysteria after hearing, asking and cutting, so he prescribed some herbs for them to take home and take them to the child on time.
Yin Ming and Lan did not think much. When they returned to the courtyard, Lan planned to clean the yard thoroughly to remove bad luck. When she cleaned the tree, she was surprised to find that there was a water stain on the ground that was really strange. It looked very similar to a woman, and it was extremely similar to what her son Fugui described. Even her facial features were vivid for the rest of her life, which scared her so much that she was so scared that she quickly called Yin Ming. Yin Ming had never seen such a strange thing before. He took a shovel and dug it a few times, and saw a small bunch of hair. Yin Ming hurriedly threw down the shovel and reported the matter to the government.
The government sent someone to find out what happened. After digging several meters deep under the big tree, it found a woman's body. It was identified by the neighbors that it seemed to look very much like the wife of the former owner Cao Sheng. Seeing this, the county magistrate quickly came to Cao Sheng for questioning. Cao Sheng had never seen this formation. At first, he insisted that he had never killed anyone. Seeing that he was inconsistent with the foreword, the county magistrate knew that he had a slight in his heart, so he asked him to call his wife. Cao Sheng's face changed drastically when he heard this. He knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "I admit it. I killed her!"
Then Cao Sheng talked about the process of killing his wife. A few months ago, he told his wife that he wanted to take a concubine. His wife scolded him in anger. Cao Sheng was furious and strangled his wife to death. He was afraid that the government would pursue the matter, so he quietly buried his wife's body near a big tree. Since then, I have nightmares every day, so I sold the house at a low price. I was worried that my neighbors would find something strange, so I made up a lie to my neighbor. The neighbors believed it, but they still didn't hide it.
County Magistrate asked in confusion: "Although the law is vast and unlimited, I don't understand why someone died, but you haven't escaped?"
Cao Sheng sighed: "I dreamed of my wife. She said that she could forgive my actions when she stayed near her home for forty-nine days, but she couldn't think of it! I still can't figure out how you found clues. I thought that the evidence of the crime was buried deep enough and the lies were perfect enough to escape."
County Magistrate asked the yamen runners to take Cao Sheng to the prison and wait for the death. Then he called Yin Ming's family to reward their family with fifty taels of silver and said meaningfully: "Now, I finally believe in the world in the eyes of children, and I have to believe it! The older they were, the more they felt that they were ignorant, and the cause and effect were true and true, just like a shadow. "
Yin Ming and his wife were frightened and responded repeatedly: "It was just a coincidence, there was no need to be far-fetched!" But when they returned home, they threw the medicine prescribed by the doctor to the child out of the door. Since then, Fugui has not seen any strange figures again.
