I rewrote family history

Chapter 146

Hailey had been dead for so long that she had forgotten that there was such a person.

If it wasn't for her son's encounter with evil spirits, and the reminder from the elders, I am afraid that she will never remember what happened 30 years ago in her memory.

"Yes, it was 32 years ago."

"They were right."

"32 years ago, a man came to our house and lay down there..."

Mrs. Xu pointed at the open space in front of Xu's house, "I remember he was pawing at the threshold, yelling and yelling for our family to pay him back. Your father was not a thing at the time, so he called someone to beat him up. I guess At that time, he was beaten half to death..."

"Maybe he died after returning."

"He has been pestering our family."

She frightened herself and hid in the sunny slope.It wasn't until the warm sun shone on her face that she felt like she had been pardoned. She put one hand on her chest and panted in a low voice.

"Mom, don't be afraid."

"Mr. Yin Yang captured his soul."

With the evidence of his own mother, Xu Shuwen confirmed that the ghost wrapped in the red cloth by Mr. Yin Yang should be the ghost of Haili more than 30 years ago.

Of course he guessed in advance that it might be a trick by Mr. Yin Yang.

Like a street performer frying pan.

But if it was true, he would offend Mr. Yin Yang by acting indiscriminately.

There will be no good days in the future.

"Master, please, do what you say you should do..."

"I believe you."

Xu Shuwen once again invited Mr. Yin Yang to intervene.

Mr. Yin Yang came here this time not alone, but also a mage dressed as a Taoist priest.

"The ghosts of the four directions listen to my order, and Yan Luofa of the Ten Palaces is blind..., My humble Sheng Haifu was entrusted by the head of the Xu clan to come to the Xu family to comment on the injustice of the wronged soul Haili..."

As soon as he entered the main hall, the mage took out the mahogany sword he carried with him, held the sword and danced to meet the great god, and sang a mantra.The tone of his chanting mantra is very strange, it seems like a play but not a play.

(In the countryside, people with high morality are called mages.)
"This is a ghost!"

The mage sprinkled a handful of yellow runes.

The talisman quickly ignited in the air, illuminating the dark room.In the place illuminated by the fire, it seems that there is a bull's head and a horse's face holding a chain, black and white impermanence holding a hanged tongue.

Everyone in the Xu family was shocked, except for Xu Shuwen, they all knelt down and begged the gods and Buddhas to forgive their crimes.

"White phosphorus with a very low ignition point, or something?"

Xu Shuwen was also agitated, not knowing whether he should believe in superstition or not.

Next.

The mage continued.

The red cloth ghost caught a few days ago came out of the red cloth, and a gust of wind blew towards the Xu family members waiting outside the hall, scaring the Xu family members, including Xu Shuwen, to their knees.

"Don't worry, in the living room, I have already laid a net, and last night I recited the Canopy Mantra, this dead soul will not attack you..."

The mage turned around and pointed at the golden rope hanging on the door of the living room with his mahogany sword.

It means that the golden rope is the net of heaven and earth.

The masters of the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.

Gray and white foxes were also among the visiting crowd.Because Mr. Yin and Yang said that more people gathered together, the yang energy generated can dissolve the yin energy in Xu's house, and the grievances will be tried in court, and people from the yang world will be required to testify, so Xu's house does not block people, allowing neighbors and neighbors to watch.

It is also afraid that the mage will discover his real body.

So it carefully hid beside Tian Huilan.

The place where Tian Huilan knelt was blocked by a small door and window.It was behind the door and window, and a fox eye looked in through the finger-width crack of the door.

The wind is blowing, and the Sanskrit sounds are heavy.

After inviting the ghost messengers of the four directions and Yama of the Ten Palaces, the next step is the interrogation of the case.Mr. Yin Yang, who was waiting at the side, saw that it was almost time, so he asked the Xu family to come in and act as the defendant.

So Xu Shuwen stood up and prepared to go in.

"No, Patriarch Xu has too much yang energy. Once he enters the underworld, he may be sent by ghosts and Yan Luo will not like it. Let Lingtang come in. Lingtang is a witness of injustice..."

Mr. Yin Yang stretched out his hand to block Xu Shuwen, and said in unison.

"yes……"

"Yes, the old lady has seen the former patriarch bullying Haili. The old lady should go, otherwise the patriarch will go, what is this..."

Several elders who were invited by Xu Shuwen before also echoed.

They watched from outside the door, standing in the front row.

"Hui Lan is pregnant, so it's not suitable for her to go, only me. I am an old bone, and I will die when I die. The important thing is that future generations will not suffer. I will go..."

Mrs. Xu was helped up by Tian Huilan and entered the main hall.

"kneel!"

After the defendant stood up, the mage slapped the gavel and shouted.

Mrs. Xu immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yinyang read the pleading paper written for Haili, and the mage invited Judge Cui to start the trial.The case was very simple, and the Xu family was found guilty.

"Judge Cui issued an order..."

"The Xu family was sentenced to pay 15 taels of silver and hand it over to Haili's descendants."

The mage said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the red cloth ghost caught by Mr. Yin Yang started to rampage again, as if he was dissatisfied with the punishment of the case.

"Thank you, my gods."

But the mage ignored the red cloth ghost and sent the god away first.

"Money can make a ghost run the mill."

"I discussed it with Judge Cui. From now on, I will enshrine his dharma body for three years. He will suppress this evil thing in the underworld for your Xu family..."

"And your husband, because of this incident and some other scandals, he is being tortured in the [-]th floor of hell. Judge Cui agreed to my intercession and sent your husband to be exempted from punishment and sent to reincarnation as soon as possible..."

He looked at Mrs. Xu and said in a deep voice.

"It's kind of daring..."

"Thank you gentlemen."

Mrs. Xu has seen the methods of Mr. Yin Yang and the mage just now, and knows that what they said is true.She nodded happily and agreed with the two of them.

Afterwards, the Xu family took out the court offering money to Judge Cui on behalf of the master.

In addition to the court offering money, there are also tea money for Mr. Yin Yang and the mage, etc., totaling 45 taels.

After this battle, the Xu family finally stopped for a while.

But after Mrs. Xu went to Shangyang Temple to petition for incense, she found Xu Shuwen with an angry face, "The source has been found. I said that our Xu family has not been going well in recent years. Shuwen, your fate card Being crushed by someone, this person is still a woman, she crushed you, you are in bad luck, our Xu family is in bad luck, your father is dead, and the ghost of the person who killed you came to the house..."

It's not a good thing that a woman's life card is on a man's head, and Yin and Yang are reversed.

"what?"

"My life card was crushed by someone? Or a woman?"

When Xu Shuwen heard this, he also jumped up from the study chair in surprise.

When Shangyangguan releases the life card, the relatives of the owner of the card will try to avoid this situation as much as possible.

"Yes, it's a woman."

"I can really see..."

"Her name is... her name is Yu Xiaobao. I don't know who she is, but Yu Xiaobao's fate card is overpowering you. I read her birth date, and she seems to be eleven or twelve years old now..."

Mrs. Xu took out a small note from her bosom and said.

She is old, and some things are easy to forget, so she wrote down all the information on Yu Xiaobao's life card on paper.

"Yu Xiaobao?"

Xu Shuwen frowned and paced in the study.

He began to search his memory for people and ages that matched the name.

Even though he no longer believes in such nonsense, the behavior of putting a woman's life card on top of his life card... definitely has bad intentions against him.

"Little Treasure, Little Treasure..."

He gradually remembered a person.

Xu Cong's neighbor's daughter seems to be called Xiao Baozi.The plaque on Zuo Zhai also says "Yu Zhai".

"Xu Cong!"

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Even though he knew that Xu Cong hated him in his heart.But he still couldn't believe the way he did it.Xu Cong reported his father Xu Zhiyong. Even though he was angry, he never thought of revenge against Xu Cong.After all, some things are what their family deserves...

But now, he has shaken his previous thoughts.

Yu Xiaobao's life card written on the note was left in the third year of the Republic of China, but now it is the sixth year of the Republic of China.

Xu Cong...had plotted against him for three full years!
"Mom, don't guess..."

"I already know who is plotting against me..."

Xu Shuwen sat down on the grand teacher's chair again, and he sighed, "It's just a trivial matter. It's not as terrible as you think. It's not like the placement of a life card... caused so many things to happen to the family..."

After saying this, he asked again: "By the way, mother, why did you find out about this token now? Why didn't you find out before?"

In three years, it is impossible not to find out for such a long time.

"It's not that you said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world..." Old Madam Xu snorted dissatisfiedly, "Your father believed in your evil, that there are no ghosts and gods, and there are no gods in three feet, so he ran to plant big smoke, who I know there really are ghosts and gods....Since you went to Kaifeng to go to school, your family didn’t go to Shangyang Temple to offer incense.”

She spoke the truth.

After Xu Shuwen went to school, his daily conversations inevitably affected his family.And Xu Shuwen's father was the victim of it, and his belief in ghosts and gods has changed from a firm belief to a half-belief.If there were ghosts and gods, how could a person cut off his humanity and grow opium? Wouldn't he be afraid of the [-] levels of hell after death?
"it's me?"

Xu Shuwen was startled for a moment, unable to believe it.

If his father had insisted on going to Shangyang Temple to pay respects, would he have discovered Xu Cong's hatred for their family three years ago, so he would have taken precautions...

It was him, it was him... who killed Dad.

It was he... who caused Dad's death.

"Mother, go back to your room first, my son wants to calm down."

Xu Shuwen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and told Mrs. Xu to leave first.

When he heard Mrs. Xu's thoughts and the sound of the study door closing, he finally couldn't help lying on the table, sobbing softly.

He is a sinner.

Father's death, no matter how you think about it, has something to do with him.

If it wasn't for his unsteadiness and hastily cutting off his braids, so that the villagers found out that Xu Cong could not be used as the scapegoat, how could Xu Cong, who has always been on good terms with him, turn his back on him?

If he hadn't made up his mind to study in Europe and the United States, how could his father rush to plant opium, so that the matter was leaked, and there were no contacts to use, and no one to cover up....

If he hadn't believed in science so deeply that his father had listened to the rumors of science, and had worshiped his father for decades...it would be impossible not to notice the change in the fate card.

The crying gradually faded away.

Xu Shuwen raised his head and wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

He glanced at the several tattered copies of "New Youth" on the desk, and a sarcastic smile soon appeared on his face.

"What "New Youth"?"

"What "New Youth"?"

"What "New Youth"?"

He said this in a rambling manner.

Suddenly, his hand tore to these magazines.The new ideas promoted by these magazines made him believe in evil, which harmed his father and his family.

Pieces of paper printed with ink were sprinkled in the study room one after another.

It is illuminated by sunlight coming in from the lattice fans.

A flame ignites them all, extinguishing any new ideas left on them.

There are a few books missing in the study.

Outsiders can't see it.

There is something missing in his heart, and outsiders can't see it.

"Is it the simplified version of the Red Chamber, which I have copied?"

He saw the raging fire in the brazier, and he didn't want it to fall too quickly, so he searched for books he didn't want, trying to burn them all, and let the hot fire light dry the wet marks left by his tears.

In this search, he found previous books.

A simplified version of The Red Chamber, which contains illustrations of the Red Chamber.

He copied Daiyu's burial of flowers, Yuanchun's visit to relatives...

He pulled out two or three pieces of thin bamboo paper from the Red Chamber Bamboo Book, on which he painted several pictures patiently with charcoal pencils.He aimed it at the window paper and looked at it for a while.

Stop pouring, and there are a few more books in the brazier.

"Shuwen, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Huilan held a small bowl of porridge in her hand. She opened the door carefully and walked in.It's just that when she opened the door, she saw the raging fire in the brazier.

She was startled and stepped forward to stop her man.

"fine."

"Some old paper is useless, so it is burned, otherwise it will take up space."

Xu Shuwen replied casually with a blank face.

"The house is big..."

"What to do with burning them, it's better to keep them as a display."

Tian Huilan knew that this might not be Xu Shuwen's sincere words.

Although she and Xu Shuwen are not in free love, but after getting along for a long time, she also understands Xu Shuwen's temperament.

So she casually comforted Xu Shuwen, and tried to see some clues about Xu Shuwen.

"It's already burned."

"It's useless to talk about these things. In the future, we will have... Let's talk about it."

"But the old books I've read... I probably won't buy them again in the future."

Xu Shuwen shook his head.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"As long as it suits you..."

Tian Huilan put down the porridge on the wooden table and said softly.

"By the way, Huilan..."

"Have you thought about the child's name?"

Xu Shuwen looked at Tian Huilan's belly, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"You are his father, if you don't name him, who can go over your head and name him?"

"If you have his name in mind, just say it."

Tian Huilan scolded.

"I just thought of a name..."

"Ah."

"It's Chongren, right?"

"Xu Chongren!"

Xu Shuwen said solemnly.

"Xu Chongren?"

"Then what if it's a girl? Wouldn't it be a bad name to be called that?"

"You think of another girl's name..."

Tian Huilan was also extremely satisfied with the name "Chongren".
