During the period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a young woman named Huishang in Jiazhou. Her parents died young and she was dependent on her sister Anru. Two years ago, Huishang married Huang Hansheng, a bricklayer from the same village. In order to take care of her sister, Huishang took Anru into her home shortly after the marriage.
In the blink of an eye, Anru has reached the age to get married. She has beautiful appearance and gentle personality. The village chief's son has taken a liking to her and intends to marry her.
Huang Hansheng was sincerely happy for his sister-in-law. The village chief's family was very wealthy. If Anru married into his family, she would be able to live a life without worries about food and drink. However, Huishang felt a little depressed after hearing the news. Huang Hansheng only thought that she was reluctant to part with her sister, so he comforted her.
On this day, Huang Hansheng went out to work. When he returned home, he was shocked to hear the bad news. Huishang rolled down the cliff while collecting firewood and died on the spot. Huang Hansheng looked at his wife who was thrown beyond recognition and cried bitterly. Anru was also crying beside her. After the two of them were sad, they held a funeral for Huishang and buried her.
On the day of Huishang's funeral, the village chief's family came to express their condolences and proposed to temporarily shelve the marriage between Anru and the village chief's son. Upon hearing this, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Anru's face, but soon, she seemed to have remembered something and nodded in agreement with the village chief's words.
After Huishang was buried, Huang Hansheng became weaker and weaker day by day. In just one month, he who was originally as strong as an ox was almost reduced to a skeleton, and his legs trembled when he walked. The changes in Anjou were in sharp contrast to him.
Anru has a reserved personality, but in the past month, she suddenly became flamboyant. She dressed up all day long and became more and more beautiful, attracting the attention of many young men in the village.
Huang Hansheng has always been thinking about Anru's marriage contract with the village chief's son. He tactfully hinted to Anru and asked her to restrain herself. Unexpectedly, Anru sneered: "I am so beautiful, but the village chief's son is not worthy of me. I want to marry a better family."
After hearing this, Huang Hansheng looked at Anru in surprise, feeling that his sister-in-law seemed to have changed. From then on, Anru's attitude towards Huang Hansheng became more and more cold, and Huang Hansheng's health became worse day by day.
On this day, Huang Hansheng got up and went out full of sorrow, and went to the river at the east end of the village to relax in the wind. Thinking of Anru's current situation, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling that he had failed to take good care of his sister-in-law, and he felt sorry for his dead wife. Just when he was sad, a voice sounded beside him, "Young man, why are you sitting by the river and sighing?"
Huang Hansheng turned his head when he heard the voice and found an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe with white hair and beard standing next to him. He was full of worries and had nowhere to talk. When the old Taoist asked, he told him what was bothering him. At the end, he sighed: "I really can't understand how people can change so much in a short period of time."
After listening to Huang Hansheng's words, the old Taoist stroked his beard thoughtfully. He made some calculations with his fingers, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he said: "Young man, I gave you a divination, your wife is clearly still alive!"
"What? But my wife has been buried for more than a month!" Huang Hansheng exclaimed.
"Hurry up and dig the grave. I will go to your wife's grave with you to see what kind of evil is causing trouble here." The old Taoist said in a deep voice.
Huang Hansheng brought Lao Dao to Hui Shuang's grave. They worked together to dig up the grave and lift up the coffin board. Huang Hansheng was surprised to find that although more than a month had passed, Hui Shuang's body had not decayed at all and still maintained the same appearance as when it was buried.
"What a deep resentment." The Taoist priest sighed, "This woman died with resentment, and her body was full of resentment, so it did not decay." As he said, the Taoist priest asked Huang Hansheng for Hui Shuang's birthday. His fingers moved slightly, and his face became more and more ugly, "The person in the grave is not your wife, but she is related to your wife by blood."
"This, how is this possible."Huang Hansheng thought of his sister-in-law Anru, whose temperament had changed drastically, and then looked at the body with a bloody face in the coffin. He vaguely guessed that the person in the coffin was Anru. Who was the Anru in the family during this time? Huang Hansheng had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling. Believe it.
Huang Hansheng took the Taoist priest back home, and he pushed Anru's room open. At this time, "Anru" was dressing up in the mirror. When Huang Hansheng came in, she asked angrily: "What are you doing here? "
" Huishang, I know it's you. Why are you doing this? "Huang Hansheng's heart was as sharp as a knife. He looked at "Anru" with tearful eyes and asked sadly.
"Are you crazy? What are you talking about? My sister is dead! "After hearing Huang Hansheng's words, "Anru"'s face changed drastically and she retorted loudly.
"What a sinister method! You actually used the face-changing technique to replace a dead person's face with your own! "The Taoist priest looked at "Anru" and shouted sternly.
As he spoke, he took out a yellow talisman and threw it on "Anru". The next moment, "Anru" let out a mournful wail. Her face seemed to melt, sliding down from her face, revealing another face hidden under the face. It was Hui Shuang's face.
Seeing that she had been exposed, Hui Shuang simply stopped hiding it. She glared at Huang Hansheng ferociously and said angrily: "Yes, it was me. It was me who pushed Anru off the cliff and put her face on it, but it was you who prompted me to do all this. Who made you so unmotivated! "
" Anru is good-looking, and the village chief's son proposes marriage to her. She can live a good life, but what about me? I can only live a lifetime of misery with you, a loser, and I won’t accept it! "Hui Shuang roared crazily, "After I put on Anru's face, I realized that the village chief's son is nothing. Being a member of the town is my final destination. It's not enough to have food and drink. I want to live a life of wealth and wealth for the rest of my life. Don't you know, I also poisoned you, so you become weaker and weaker. "
After hearing these words, Huang Hansheng looked at Huishang in disbelief, as if he was meeting her for the first time. He trembled his lips and wanted to say something, but the next moment, a dark wind blew into the room, and black smoke rose around Huishang. Amidst Huishang's wailing, Huang Hansheng vaguely heard Anru's voice, "Sister, I hurt so much, come and stay with me. "
In the blink of an eye, all the skin on Huishang's body was peeled off. She fell to the ground like a bloody gourd. Huang Hansheng trembled and squatted beside her to check her breathing, and found that she was dead.
"Your sister-in-law died unjustly. She just came back to take revenge. "The old Taoist sighed, "Because of your wife's greed, it actually led to the tragedy of sisters killing each other. It's really sad. "
Later, Huang Hansheng buried Huishang's body. He did not tell others what happened, but only said that "Anru" had a sudden illness and passed away.
The Taoist priest helped Huang Hansheng detoxify, but he refused Huang Hansheng's reward and disappeared without a trace. Not long after the Taoist priest left, Huang Hansheng also left the village, and he did not know where he went.
