Hanged Ghost (11)
The Yu Zicheng family is the largest family in Yujia Town. Naturally, many people come to celebrate the old lady's birthday. On her eightieth birthday, the house is full of guests and the seats are packed. Among the people who come, there are business people, officials, and some old friends. adjacent. The old lady was so happy that she couldn't bear it anymore after two rounds of drinking. She said to the maid next to her: "Oh, I'm old, and I get drunk after drinking an old cup. If it doesn't work anymore, please help me go back to my room to rest." "
"Old lady, how many cups have you had just now? Today is your birthday. If you are happy, you should drink two more cups." The relative at the same table persuaded with a smile.
Mrs. Yu waved her hand and replied with a smile: "No, no, you guys eat and drink well and have fun."
"Yes, grandma has drank a lot today. I will accompany you today so that everyone can have a good drink." Yu Zicheng stood up and picked up the wine glass with a smile. After toasting the relative, he said to the maid next to Mrs. Yu : "Hurry and help the old lady go back to her room to rest."
"Yes, Master." After hearing this, the maid hurriedly helped Mrs. Yu go.
After Mrs. Yu left, everyone else was still drinking. Among them, a man who was drunk walked over to Yu Zicheng, staggering as if he was unsteady, holding Yu Zicheng's shoulders and said: " Brother Yu…”
"Any advice?" Yu Zicheng was not very familiar with the person who came over. He did not recognize all the relatives that Mr. Yu invited for his birthday. In order to make the old lady happy, he mostly invited some of her old acquaintances. .
The man burped and grinned: "Do you know who I am?"
"This..." This made Yu Zicheng ask. The man in front of him looked very strange.
Before Yu Zicheng could answer, the man waved his hand and said with a hiccup: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, but I have one thing to advise Brother Yu."
"Oh?" Yu Zicheng looked at the man. This man was wearing linen clothes and blue trousers. He looked slovenly. He was a descendant of an unknown relative. He looked a few years older than Yu Zicheng.
The man shook his body, blinked and said, "It seems that your family is not peaceful."
"Why did you say that?" Yu Zicheng's face sank. Today is Mr. Yu's birthday. Anyone who hears such words on such a happy day will be a little unhappy.
The man leaned into Yu Zicheng's ear and whispered: "Your house is haunted..."
"You..." Yu Zicheng was angry, but didn't want to fall out on the spot, so he asked, "How do you know?"
"I... saw it."
Yu Zicheng was stunned for a moment after hearing what the man said. If it were anyone else, he would definitely think that what this man said was crazy, but Yu Zicheng knew in his heart that it was not impossible. He was not sure whether the man was drunk or not. I really found something, so I asked, "Where is it?"
"There!" The man turned back and pointed to the corridor.
Yu Zicheng looked over and saw that it was Shuzhen who came out of the corridor. Shuzhen was pregnant and had not come out to meet the guests. At this time, she came out for some reason, with a big belly and the help of the maid. Walking towards Yuzicheng.
"Zicheng."
"Shu Zhen." Yu Zicheng helped Shu Zhen. He thought the man was crazy. Shu Zhen was his wife, how could she be a ghost? So he deliberately introduced to the man: "This is my wife Shuzhen, not what you said..." Yu Zicheng glanced at Shuzhen and did not say the word.
Shuzhen felt strange and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, it's nothing. This brother drank too much." Yu Zicheng replied with a smile, looking at Shuzhen affectionately. "By the way, why did you come out?"
"I couldn't sleep alone in the room, so I asked Xiaohong to help me out to get some air." Shuzhen replied with a smile.
When Xiaohong saw it, she smiled and said to Yu Zicheng: "Uncle, the lady was thinking about drinking in the room. I was afraid that you would be harmed by drinking too much, so I hurriedly came out to have a look."
"I told you to talk too much." Shuzhen looked at Xiaohong with an angry smile.
Yu Zicheng knew that Shuzhen cared about him, so he held Shuzhen's hand and said gently: "Don't worry, I won't drink too much. I will go back to the room to accompany you after the guests have dispersed."
"Yes." Shuzhen smiled and said to the maid: "Xiaohong, I will send you some clothes for my uncle later. It is late at night and it is easy to catch a cold."
"Yes, miss." The maid covered her mouth and smiled.
Yu Zicheng said a few more thoughtful words to Shuzhen, and Shuzhen returned to the room with peace of mind. Next, Yu Zicheng naturally had a good drink with his relatives and friends, but fortunately, after he drank enough, when the guests dispersed, he still Not drunk. Looking at the maids and servants who were cleaning up, Yu Zicheng breathed out the breath of alcohol and wanted to go back to his room to rest. At this time, the man just walked in from outside the door.
"Hey, brother is still here?" Yu Zicheng was very surprised. Everyone had left, but he didn't know why this man was still in the Yu family.
The man looked at Yu Zicheng seriously and said, "I didn't leave because I wanted to tell you something."
"Brother, are you trying to say that my wife is a ghost again?" Yu Zicheng shook his head helplessly.
"You do not believe?"
"Brother, you drank too much today, so you should go back and rest first. If you are free, you are welcome to visit the Yu family again." After Yu Zicheng finished speaking, he ordered the busy servants: "Why don't you see off the guests soon?"
"Yes, Master." The servant put down his work and came to the man's side.
The man sighed: "If you really don't believe it, it will cause disaster."
"Brother, if you keep talking arrogantly, you will cause great disaster." Yu Zicheng lost his patience after being told by this man. When he got drunk, he was naturally a little impulsive. Hearing this man talk about Shuzhen like that, he felt very unhappy. It's so happy, everyone said it when they saw the guests, and they also played the young master's temper.
The man didn't notice the anger on Yu Zicheng's face at all.
So he said seriously: "It's true. I went to the hut today and saw it with my own eyes..."
"Okay, brother, Yu is tired today, let's talk about it another day." Yu Zicheng waved his hands and left.
Surrounded by his servants, the man had to leave the Yu family. He couldn't tell Yu Zicheng what he saw because he was really drunk. No wonder others didn't believe him.
After being sent out of Yu's house by his servant, the man walked alone on the street, walking back and forth, almost falling to the ground. At this time, there was no one on the street, and there were no lights. He could only look vaguely by the moonlight. He staggered towards home. As he was walking, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind behind him. When he turned around, he looked... A woman in red was standing behind him.
"It's...you..." The man looked at the woman in red in horror and fell to the ground after making a sound.
The woman in red looked at the man's body and said coldly: "You asked for it." After saying that, she disappeared on the street in an instant.
At noon the next day, Yu Zicheng had just finished lunch when a servant came to report that a distant relative of the Yu family had died on the way home after drinking yesterday. Yu Zicheng was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Who is it?" relative?"
"I don't even know his name. I only remember seeing him yesterday. When I went out today, I saw his body on the street. Many people were talking about it," the servant reported.
"What are you talking about?"
"Talk about how he died."
"Have you reported to the official?"
"Someone has already reported it. When the younger one came back, his body had already been sent to the inn."
Yu Zicheng nodded. Suddenly, he remembered what happened yesterday and hurriedly asked: "Is it a boy or a girl?" "Master, it's a boy, in his thirties." The servant answered loudly, and after thinking about it, , added: "That's the guest who left last yesterday."
"Is it him?" Yu Zicheng was surprised. Although he was unhappy with that man, he didn't expect that man to die like this.
At this time, Mrs. Yu walked in from outside the door. After hearing the conversation between the servant and Yu Zicheng, she said in fear: "You have done evil, please celebrate your birthday, how can you cause such a big trouble."
"Grandma, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with you. I think that person drank too much, so..." Yu Zicheng helped Mrs. Yu to a chair.
Mrs. Yu shook her head and said with a sad face: "This has nothing to do with me. Think about it, if I hadn't celebrated this birthday, how could he have died? Hey, I always blame me for causing such a big trouble in my old age. "
"Grandma..." After Yu Zicheng called out, he persuaded: "It's really none of your business. That person really drank too much. Yesterday, he pulled me and said that Shuzhen was a ghost. Besides, when he left It’s still fine.”
"What? What did he say about Shuzhen?" Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Zicheng.
Yu Zicheng told Mrs. Yu about the man last night. After hearing this, Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Zicheng suspiciously: "Zicheng, tell grandma the truth, is it because you don't like to hear what he said? 's, and then..."
"Grandma, how could your grandson do such a thing? Don't say he's a relative, even if he's a stranger, your grandson won't be like this. At most, you can just scold him and give him a lesson, so he won't hurt anyone."
Mrs. Yu still didn't believe it. She knew that Yu Zicheng liked Shuzhen. Not to mention Yu Zicheng, everyone in the Yu family liked Shuzhen as their grandson's daughter-in-law, so she pressed her: "Zicheng, if you don't tell the truth, the government will investigate. How do you ask grandma to help you?"
"Grandma, I have to believe me, I really don't." Yu Zicheng looked innocent, looked at Mrs. Yu, pointed at the servant and said: "I asked my servant to send that person away last night. Besides, you If you don’t believe me, you should believe Shuzhen, right? I went back to my room to sleep after seeing off the guests last night, and I didn’t wake up until dawn. "
"it is true?"
"Of course it's true, grandma, don't think about it too much." Yu Zicheng replied with a smile.
Mrs. Yu finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Shuzhen walked in and saw Mrs. Yu sweetly shouting: "Grandma."
"Good boy, sit down quickly." When Mrs. Yu saw Shuzhen, she focused her attention on Shuzhen's belly. After seeing Shuzhen sit down, she said with concern: "Shuzhen, you are pregnant now. , don’t work too hard.”
"Thank you grandma for caring. I'm fine. During this period, Zicheng always let me lie in bed to rest. I was bored, so I went out for a walk." Shuzhen touched her belly with a happy face.
Mrs. Yu looked at Shuzhen's belly and thought it would be great if she could hug her great-grandson quickly. As soon as she thought of this, she forgot everything.
