Chapter 4515 Kindness
Yang Ruoqing turned to Mrs. Liu and told her with a serious face: "Fourth Aunt, we trust you and ask you to stay and listen. You have to promise me something."< br>
"As long as I can stay and listen, let alone one thing, two or three, I will agree to it." Liu said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Okay, then you have to promise that if you hear anything, go outside and gossip with others, and you are not allowed to add fuel to the fire. If you add fuel to the fire and spread it back to my ears, I won't be done with you. !”
Ms. Liu raised two fingers and swore to the sky: “I swear, I promise not to add any extravagant words.”
"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing turned around and said to Yang Huazhong: "Father, tell me, this matter can't be solved. Everyone in the village knows that Sheng Nan's father slept in the cemetery last night."
< br>Yang Huazhong was startled for a moment, then sighed and sat down.
Sun made him a bowl of wolfberry, and Yang Huazhong drank two sips to moisten his throat. He had just recovered from a serious illness. After a long night of tossing and running around all day, he was already exhausted.
As soon as the lightly sweet wolfberry water reached his throat, he found some of his lost strength.
"Today we invited Bao Banxian to Xiangjiazhuang. Bao Banxian couldn't see him, but as soon as he entered the house, he said there was a stranger in the house." Yang Huazhong said.
"Bao Banxian said that the stranger is not a human being, but that kind of thing."
"The reason why Shengnan's father had a fever and talked nonsense is because the stranger was pestering him. The stranger came from the cemetery. The one who came here followed Sheng Nan’s father back home.”
“ We asked the stranger why he was pestering Shengnan's father like this. Bao Banxian said, the stranger was an old lady. He also told us the stranger's age, height, clothes and appearance. , some elderly people from Xiangjiazhuang who were present at that time said, that old lady Tai was also a girl from Xiangjiazhuang, and later married to Yujia Village."
"Her husband died a long time ago, and she is a widow, living with a son. The family is poor, and her son is older than he is. Marry a wife."
"More than ten years ago. , when there was a flood, didn't we recruit people from Shiliba Village to build dams to drain water? The old lady's son also went there to earn money to buy medicine for the old lady, who was ill at that time. Later, the flood receded, but the plague came. ”
"The son contracted the plague and died. He was one of the first to die in the village. The old lady was still ill in bed at that time. The village was sealed off and no one in the village dared to move around. The old lady starved to death in bed and no one knew about it. "
"After finding out later, the old lady was buried under a tree as if she was infected with the plague."
"The old lady had no son to offer incense to her family. There is no one there anymore, so her grave becomes In the solitary grave, during the past ten years or so, the deceased souls have been paid homage to by their descendants during the New Year and festivals, giving some food, burning some paper money and cold clothes, but the old lady has nothing, just a lonely ghost, she is pitiful, it just happened. Katsuo’s father was drunk and intoxicated, and the old lady Tai took advantage of Sheng Nan’s father’s weak Yang Qi to get involved with him. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to get something to eat.”
At this point, Yang Huazhong paused, his throat felt dry, and he lowered his head. I went to drink some wolfberry water.
Hey, the body of a forty-year-old is really not as good as it used to be when I was in my twenties.
After an illness, I felt that my whole body was weak, and my energy and energy were slowly recovering. If I talked too much, my throat would smoke and I would feel tight and uncomfortable.
Here, Yang Huazhong was moistening his throat. On the other side, Mrs. Liu's eyes were wide open in surprise, and her mouth couldn't close for a long time.
"Tsk, tsk, that old lady is really pitiful. She was a pitiful person when she was alive, and she is still pitiful as a ghost after death..." Ms. Liu sat there and sighed.
Sun's face was also full of sympathy. The kind-hearted Baozi temporarily forgot that the old lady was a 'stranger' and the source of fear to her.
“I’m a little confused,” said Sun.
"When the old lady was alive, even if her son was a bachelor, he still wanted to honor his mother. He went out to build dams to make money for her medicine."
"Why did he die? The mother and son are here Why don't you, your son, care about me?" Regarding this question from Sun, both Liu and Yang Ruoqing were stunned.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head directly, "I really don't understand this aspect. Fourth Aunt, you are well-informed about this, so you can answer it."
Ms. Liu tilted her head. Thinking seriously After grinding for a while, he said: "I think it's probably because that son is a poor ghost underground. His own cow's tail can't cover the cow's butt, and he still has the mind to care about his ghost mother? Pull him down!" ”
"Fourth brother and sister, please stop talking nonsense. Bao Banxian told you the reason. Things are not what you think at all!" Yang Huazhong couldn't help but drink in a low voice.
Ms. Liu was not annoyed and looked at Yang Huazhong with a smile.
"Third brother, I am a womanizer and I don't have much knowledge. You just think I am farting. What is the reason? Just tell us!" Mrs. Liu said.
Sun and Yang Ruoqing also looked at Yang Huazhong, expecting him to answer their questions.
Yang Huazhong said: "Bao Banxian said that the old lady's son walked in front of the old lady. Even though he was a filial son during his lifetime, after his death, when the king of hell and the judge tried him, he would be judged because he was not alive in the Yang world. If you can fulfill your filial piety, you can’t blame him for helping my mother to live in her old age, and sentence him to a crime!”
"So the son was punished to atone for his sins when he got there, and he never got to meet the old lady. The old lady was all alone and bullied everywhere."
"The reason why he got involved with Sheng this time The male father, after all, is fate. The family prepared some paper money and offerings, and a few sets of cold clothes, and went back to burn them near a tree. This matter is almost over."
After the matter was finished, Yang Huazhong and Sun were silent. Mrs. Liu was the only one sitting there, sighing and sighing.
Ms. Liu left with satisfaction. Yang Huazhong looked at Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, why don't you say anything? Are you scared?"
Ms. Sun was also attracted. , the woman raised her hand and gently stroked Yang Ruoqing's head: "Daughter, don't be afraid. Now that you understand, I'm not that afraid anymore. Even if you pity that old lady, don't be afraid."
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at her parents, thought about it, and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm not afraid, I just had an idea."
"What idea?" Yang Huazhong asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That old lady is very pitiful. Even if the Xiang family burns paper money this time, in the final analysis, it will only relieve a temporary urgent need. After a year and a half, she will continue to suffer."
“And that area, I heard it used to be a mass grave. , there are many lonely ghosts like the old lady, otherwise there would be no trouble anywhere..."
"So, I plan to build a Taoist temple, or a small temple there, to liberate them, and then use the incense to Worship them, parents, what do you think?”
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's suggestion, Yang Huazhong and Sun were both shocked.
After a while, Yang Huazhong suppressed his excitement and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Daughter, if this thing comes to pass, it will be a great meritorious thing. Dad supports you, regardless of whether you are a lawyer Whether it’s a Taoist temple or a small temple, dad supports you!”
“Mom, what about you?” Yang Ruoqing looked at Sun again.
Sun's eyes suddenly turned red, "My daughter is a kind-hearted person, and she actually wants to do those things for those poor strangers. Mother, mother is very happy, good, very good ! ”
