Strange Tales of the Ghosts

It was dark in the long night, and the courtyard of the deep house seemed even quieter. Suddenly, the whole courtyard heard the cry of a child. Hongxiu heard that it was Yan'er who was crying. She didn't even put on her clothes, so she ran to her daughter's room and saw the child sitting there. I cried so hard on the bed.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?" Hongxiu took the child into her arms and coaxed: "Yan'er, don't cry, mother is here."

"Madam..." The maid came over just then.

Hong Xiu suddenly became angry and cursed: "Where did he go? Didn't you hear the lady crying?"

"Madam, the young lady said she was hungry, so I went to get her something to eat." The maid looked at Hong Xiu fearfully, fearing that she would be punished.

Hongxiu glanced at the glutinous rice balls in the maid's hand and shouted, "Bring it over quickly."

"Yes, madam." The maid stepped forward.

Hongxiu patted the child's back and coaxed: "Yan'er, be good, don't cry anymore. Mom feeds Yan'er some glutinous rice balls." After saying that, she spooned a glutinous rice ball, put it to her mouth and blew on it. After she felt that it was no longer hot, she gave it to her. to my daughter's mouth.

The girl was still crying. She pushed Hong Xiu's hand away and pouted, "I won't eat it!"

With a bang, the spoon fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. Of course Hongxiu, the child she took care of, knew the child's temper. Instead of training her, she asked gently: "What's wrong with Yan'er? Why didn't you eat it again?"

"...I'm afraid..." Yan'er said and started crying again.

Hongxiu didn't know how the child could be like this, so she patiently coaxed her. After a while, the girl said that she had just seen a long-haired and masked female ghost walking into the room. The female ghost told her to use The delicious food poisoned her, that's why she was so scared. When Hongxiu heard this, she laughed and coaxed: "Yan'er is not afraid, it's just a dream. Is there any female ghost in this house?" After saying that, Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, female ghost? Isn't Qingfeng just a female ghost, so she hurriedly asked: "Yan'er, is that the woman you saw?"

"Which one?" The little girl stopped crying and looked at her mother.

Hongxiu reminded quickly: "Your second aunt."

"It's a female ghost, not the second aunt." The girl answered affirmatively, because the female ghost she saw ran out of the wall, with long hair covering her face, which was different from Qingfeng's image.

At this time, Hongxiu knew better. She saw with her own eyes that Qingfeng could pass through the wall, and that Qingfeng was also very likely to be harmful to Yan'er, so she picked up her daughter and left, returned to her room, and from then on From today on, she will be inseparable from Yan'er to prevent Qingfeng from attacking Yan'er.

The next day, at dawn, Hongxiu rushed into Qingfeng's room. The door was pushed open with a bang. Qingfeng was combing his hair. He saw Hongxiu in the mirror and asked with a smile: "It's so big." It’s early in the morning, do you have anything to do with me?”

"You know best!" Hongxiu walked up to Qingfeng and asked, "Did you scare Yan'er last night?"

"Scared Yan'er? Why should I scare Yan'er?" Qingfeng put on a pair of pearl earrings given to her by Geng Zhong and looked in the mirror.

Hongxiu took Qingfeng's hand and said viciously: "I'm warning you, don't touch my daughter, or I'll be done with you!"

"It's never over, but it's not you and me, it's me and you." Qingfeng looked back at Hong Xiu. She liked Hong Xiu's crazy look. If this continues, Geng Zhong will soon hate Hong Xiu. To the extreme, at this time, Qingfeng heard footsteps outside. Based on the weight of the footsteps, he could tell who it was, so he pretended to be innocent and asked: "Why should I hurt Yan'er? I hurt her before it was too late. Madam, why did you accuse me unjustly? Is it because Mr. Geng is treating me well now?"

"You..." Hong Xiu raised her hand and was about to hit, but the person behind her suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Hongxiu looked back and saw that it was Geng Zhong. Geng Zhong felt very unhappy when he saw Hongxiu coming to trouble Qingfeng and lectured him: "Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"

"Master, Qingfeng last night..."

"What happened last night? She was with me last night, are you jealous again?" Geng Zhong was not in the mood to listen to Hong Xiu's words. He snorted and said, "Don't always look for trouble, Qingfeng's I know who I am as a person, so don’t blame me if you go too far.”

"Geng Zhong, you!" Hong Xiu pointed at Geng Zhong and couldn't help shouting his name.

Geng Zhong's face sank and he was furious: "How dare you call me by my name!"

"You are so confused, you will die sooner or later!" Hongxiu was so angry that she didn't want to say anything more, waved her hand and left Qingfeng's room.

When Geng Zhong saw Hongxiu leaving, he thought Qingfeng had been wronged and comforted him: "Don't take it to heart, that's what she is like, just ignore her."

"I understand, Master." Qingfeng looked at Geng Zhong with a smile. How did Geng Zhong know that he went to another house while he was sleeping last night? Things like soul-stimulating incense make Qingfeng feel that it is really useful.

After breakfast, Geng Zhong wanted to take Qingfeng out for a walk. At this time, the servant hurriedly came to inform him.

"Master, there is someone outside asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Geng Zhong asked lazily while sitting on a chair.

The servant glanced at Geng Zhong and replied in a low voice: "A teacher."

"Why would a teacher see me?"

"His surname is Geng..."

"What?" Geng Zhong was a little surprised.

Qingfeng's expression turned not so good. The teacher named Geng, wasn't he Geng Jinhua? Why did Geng Jinhua come to Geng's house suddenly? Qingfeng didn't dare to think about what Geng Jinhua would look like when he saw him, so he deliberately avoided it: "Master, I'll go inside and clean up."

"Yeah." Geng Zhong nodded. He didn't want Geng Jinhua to see Qingfeng.

After Qingfeng entered the house, Geng Zhong

He ordered his servants to bring the teacher in. When he came in, he saw that it was indeed Geng Jinhua. He was wearing a gray cloth robe and looked shabby and thin.

"Huh, it turns out it's the second young master. What do you want to do with me?" Geng Zhong took a sip of tea and glanced at Geng Jinhua.

Geng Jinhua raised his head and replied loudly: "I want to see Qingfeng!"

"Meet Qingfeng?" Geng Zhong raised his eyebrows and snorted. "Qingfeng wasn't ten years ago..."

"Don't say more, ask Qingfeng to come out to see me. I know that she has returned to Geng's house." When Geng Jinhua heard that Qingfeng appeared on the street, he could no longer sit still. Ten years of missing her, ten years of missing her. After years of separation, he had many questions.

Qingfeng eavesdropped inside and shed tears. Why didn't she miss Geng Jinhua? But now she couldn't see him because she still had a lot of things to do, so she had to hold back this strong feeling. When she heard Geng Zhong ruthlessly rejected Geng Jinhua and humiliated Geng Jinhua in every possible way, she felt so angry. There were blood beads on the palm of her hand. It wasn't until she saw Geng Jinhua leaving angrily from behind that she wiped away her tears and walked out.

"He's gone?" Qingfeng had a smile on her face. She couldn't let Geng Zhong see that she still had feelings for Geng Jinhua.
