Under One: The Dragon's Wife

Chapter 111 Meeting Widow Liu

I heard a man's voice, and the appearance of Butcher Li slowly emerged from my memory, as if it was really him.

Following the sound, Chang Chong and I approached slowly. We saw Butcher Li kneeling in front of a new grave. We hadn’t seen him in recent years. He already had white hair on his head, and he was estimated to be in his 40s. , the hair turned gray a little too early, and my grandfather worked hard for me and also had gray hair very early.

Butcher Li is tall and tall, with dark skin and a somewhat fierce face. He was born to do this job. Most people can't be a butcher, and if they can't suppress the bloody smell, their life will be shortened.

That tomb should belong to Widow Liu, and it is still relatively new. The wreaths on both sides of the tomb have not completely decayed. The old man who drove three rounds before said that the body of Widow Liu was not found after she jumped into the river. This tomb is probably empty, but Symbolic burial.

They all said that Butcher Li looked abnormal, but I thought it was quite normal, and they even came here to beg Widow Liu to let him go.It's a little strange, how did he dislocate his son's arm when he came out?If a normal person would not hurt his son, he would ignore it.

After we observed for a while, Butcher Li got up and was about to leave, and he was still looking left and right, as if he had a guilty conscience.

I called Uncle Li, butcher Li was startled. After seeing me, he didn't remember who I was for a while: "Which one are you?"

I said: "I'm Tan Xiangling, do you remember me? My grandfather is Tan Dongmin." He may not remember my name, but he definitely knows my grandfather.

After saying this, he immediately realized: "Oh, oh, I remembered, when did you come back?"

I chatted with him: "I came back yesterday. As soon as I came back, I heard that something strange happened in your house. Today, my aunt went to find me. When I came back, I found you were not at home, so I helped him come out to find you. I didn't expect you to be here." Lerry."

Butcher Li's expression was a little dazed: "Yeah... well... let's go back and talk about it. This matter is a bit annoying, and I don't know how to say it."

On the way back, I asked him about his son's dislocated arm, and he was a little surprised: "Is the hand dislocated? I don't know...I'm sleepy at night. I ran out like a ghost, unconscious. I don't know, I only found out after hearing from your aunt the next day that I slept during the day, and today I had a dream, which blackened me, so I ran to burn paper for Widow Liu, and that bastard stopped me. I couldn't explain it to him, so he just listened to his mother, I was annoyed, so I shoved him, I don't know if he fell or not..."

This father is also big-hearted, just confirm that he is normal now.

Back at Butcher Li's house, Zhang Guihua was relieved to see her man back in good condition, but when she thought of her son's dislocated hand, she ignored the presence of others, and began to yell: "You damn Wen Sang! I'm not doing anything for you! Dragging down the whole family, my mother and you have been blind for the rest of your life, and you are counting your death on the outside!"

Butcher Li remained silent when he was scolded. I persuaded him a few words before asking him: "What's the matter? I heard that you have been abnormal since you went to deliver pork to Widow Liu that day. What happened? If you have nothing to say, you can tell me so that I can help you."

Since I am a junior, Butcher Li is a little embarrassed to say: "Oh... I really... don't know what happened. The other day I went to the town to sell meat and came back and met Widow Liu, she asked me to send her some meat Go, I gave her something when I came back, and she asked me to help her with things. I thought she was a girl, and the man died again. There was a blind old woman in the house. Seeing her committing crimes, I helped her I did it, I was delayed all afternoon, and when I came back, the dead woman at the head of my house quarreled with me, and people in the village also rumored that what happened to me and Widow Liu, I had a fight with my wife, people don’t know I can't even get up when I'm lying down."

"I know that my mother-in-law went to see Widow Liu to make trouble. I don't know what happened. Widow Liu jumped into the river and died. I can hear Widow Liu calling me to look for her by the river every night. I'm confused, I'm sober after being caught by my mother-in-law, and I've always been blackmailed to death. I don't know what Widow Liu's dead mother-in-law wants to do. I don't need my life? I gave her meat with good intentions, and then I didn't kill her..."

Zhang Guihua was not happy when she heard it: "What do you mean? I killed her?! No one in the village said it so badly, of course I have to ask if she started it with you! She wants I don’t want face? A person’s life is cheap and he wants to die, who can stop him?!”

Butcher Li was scolded so silently, I gave him a talisman to ward off evil spirits, and said that I would go and see the place where Widow Liu died, and see if I could find Widow Liu and ask how to solve this matter. The person who must tie the bell.

When Chang Chong and I reached the river, Chang Chong said, "Do you think there is something wrong with what Butcher Li said?"

I asked him, "What's the problem?"

He paused and said: "It stands to reason that Widow Liu threw herself into the river after Zhang Guihua went to make trouble. She didn't go to Zhang Guihua to settle the score. Why did she keep her eyes on Butcher Li? Do you think it's because Butcher Li went to deliver meat to her?" Did she blame Butcher Li for the rumors and rumors caused by her work? It doesn't make sense, she may have a grudge against Butcher Li, but she definitely won't just seek his life because of it."

I think so too: "So, there's something that Butcher Lee hasn't said, right?"

Chang Chong squatted down and stretched out his jade-like hand to slosh the river water: "Yes, but I have to wait until night to ask Widow Liu about it. Her body is still here and has not been salvaged. She died with resentment." Yes, if you don't help her resolve the resentment in her heart, she won't let Butcher Li go."

I nodded, I didn't intend to go home, anyway, I had to come over at night, and I was too lazy to run back and forth.I took Chang Chong to see the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, and I ate at Butcher Li’s house at noon. The most important thing in his house was pork, the table was full of meat dishes, and the bacon smoked before the Chinese New Year.

After dark, I went to the river with Chang Chong. Chang Chong asked me to prepare incense and paper in the afternoon. I lit incense and burned paper by the river and called Widow Liu’s name. Widow Liu’s name is Liu Guizhi. I heard that She looks pretty good, but her life is not good.

The long worm told me not to stop the paper, and the incense could not be extinguished, especially after Widow Liu appeared. When the incense was extinguished and the paper was broken, Widow Liu would return to the river, unable to continue communicating with us.

When the incense burnt halfway, I vaguely saw a figure appearing on the river, the surroundings were dark, only the firelight from when I burned the paper, I knew it was Widow Liu, I made up my mind and told myself not to be afraid, ordinary ghosts would not Chaos harms people, I have no grievances or enmity with Widow Liu, she has no reason to harm me.
