Chapter 3: The Coffin Awakens 3
◎Escape from the tiger's mouth and meet the ghost again◎
Yan Yue held the three cakes tightly in her hands, looking flustered and unable to come up with an excuse.
Li's mother walked up to her son first and kicked him: "Are you stupid? She wants to run away!"
Li Tiezhu's eyes widened in astonishment: "Miss Yan, don't you have nowhere to go? Why are you leaving? Is it because the food at my house is not good?"
At this point, Yan Yue knew she couldn't fight two people alone, so she pointed to the sled at the window and said in a crying voice: "Your father always forces me, I'm really too scared, I don't want to stay in your house anymore!"
Li Tiezhu was shocked: "You, saw my dad again?"
Yan Yue pointed at the sled and said, "He was just standing there. He was the one who knocked the sled over!"
"Nonsense!" Li's mother's face turned very ugly. She pushed Li Tiezhu and said, "I think you just want to run away and use this as an excuse! Zhuzi, why don't you bring your wife back!"
Seeing Li Tiezhu hesitantly raising his foot, Yan Yue took a step back and hastily explained: "Brother Zhuzi, I really didn't lie to you! I just got here the day before yesterday and have never seen your father. How do I know what he looks like? He kept forcing me to ask your mother for him if you are his biological child! I didn't dare to ask, and I was afraid of your father, so I wanted to run away..."
Mother Li stopped immediately and her expression changed from anger to shock.
Yan Yue took a look and said: There really is a ghost!
She immediately looked at Tiezhu's father who was standing next to the sled and said, "Uncle, ask whatever you want to ask!"
Mother Li saw Yan Yue's eyes moving towards her, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Is his father really here?"
Yan Yue repeated what Li's father said: "Uncle said that he wanted to just let it go and take his doubts to his grave. Who would have thought that because of his deep obsession, he could not enter the reincarnation cycle, and has been lingering around you and your son all these years."
Li's mother burst into tears: "He has always been here?"
Yan Yue nodded: "He also said that in those years, he kept a close eye on the men in the village, trying to find the adulterer. But although you had many little thoughts, you lived with him wholeheartedly and never had any involvement with other men. He couldn't understand."
Mother Li suddenly collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying.
Li Tiezhu asked anxiously: "Mom, why are you crying? Tell me! Could it be that I am really not Dad's son..."
Mother Li cried even louder, and Yan Yue did not dare to urge her.
After a while, Li's mother stopped crying and said with her nose tucked: "Zhuzi's father, I am sorry for you..."
Li Tiezhu was stunned. He walked to Li's mother, held her shoulders and asked, "I am really not my father's son? Then, who is my father?"
"You are your father's son!"
Li's mother wiped off her snot with her sleeve and angrily scolded him, "He worked so hard to raise you! If he's not your father, then who is?!"
Li Tiezhu didn't dare to say anything more.
Mother Li wiped her tears again and said to the nothingness in front of her: "Dad Zhuzi, don't blame me."
"We were married for five years, but we didn't have any children. It was because my mother-in-law was too much of a bully. She scolded me all day long, and even spread the word that I was a chicken that couldn't lay eggs. I was so angry that I found a random man to have sex with while selling dried fish in the city. That's how Zhuzi was born."
So wonderful! Yan Yue sighed, saying that Li's mother's move at least proved that the problem was not with the "land", but with the seeds!
Even if Father Li was a ghost, one could tell that his expression was extremely unnatural and he remained silent.
Yan Yuexin said, I wonder if he ever defended his wife when his mother said that Li's mother couldn't lay eggs? If not, then it is not unfair for him to be called a turtle!
Li's mother's tears welled up again, but she looked determined: "Even if you blame me, I don't regret it. With Zhuzi, mother-in-law finally stopped gossiping about me! Now that you have left me, I still have Zhuzi to accompany me!"
As she spoke, tears welled up again: "Dad, at least our family has lived happily together for more than ten years... Considering that I have worked hard for the family for half my life, please don't hurt Zhuzi... If you hate me, just take revenge on me! Please, don't hurt our son!"
"mother……"
Li Tiezhu also shed tears, hugged Li's mother and said to the void: "Dad, Mom has had a hard time, don't blame her! I only recognize you as my father, I will often burn paper for you and worship you well!"
After a long time, Father Li finally spoke, and Yan Yue helped him relay the story.
"He said that you have been a widow for five years since his death and have never remarried. He saw how hard your life was. He also said that he spent all the family savings on his medical treatment, and that he felt sorry for you because you are suffering so much now."
Li's mother smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "As a family, we should share the good and the bad. How can we be worthy or sorry?"
Father Li finally smiled, and Yan Yue continued to relay his story: "He said that he couldn't have children, but fortunately you helped him have this child, allowing him to be a father in this life. He is grateful to you in his heart."
Upon hearing this, Li's mother started crying again.
Yan Yue quickly added: "He also said that I am an extraordinary person, and asked you two to give up your thoughts on me! My clothes are a token of my gratitude to you. You can gather your family by yourselves! I'm leaving first!"
Seeing Father Li looking at her in surprise, Yan Yue stuck out her tongue at him and ran away without thinking twice!
Of course, Mr. Li didn't say this.
That guy actually deliberately made noise while I was running away, which shows that he is not a good person! She doesn't want to wait until their family's problems are resolved before she can spare the time to deal with herself!
Shortly after Yan Yue left, a pair of guests arrived at the Li family courtyard.
The two ghost messengers walked straight through the fenced yard and came to Li's father: "We just happened to pass by here. Since you have broken your obsession, come with us!"
Father Li nodded in agreement.
Another ghost officer looked around the yard and asked suspiciously, "There seems to be... a different aura here?"
Father Li thought of the naughty woman and said, "There was a girl who seemed to have the ability to see ghosts and spirits. She passed a message to my family for me and has now left. Perhaps, it was her aura?"
"Yin Yang Eyes?"
The ghost thought for a moment and said, "Maybe! I just feel like it's a little familiar."
Another ghost messenger said, "Come to think of it, I also feel somewhat familiar with him. Perhaps we have met this person before?"
The ghost officer smiled and said, "That's great. It would be a good deed if we could help these ghosts wandering around the human world to enter reincarnation as soon as possible."
A breeze gently wrapped around Li Tiezhu and Li's mother, then passed through the treetops. The leaves rustled for a moment, and the courtyard returned to peace.
Mother Li looked at the night sky and cried: "It's your father, saying goodbye to us..."
*
Yan Yue ran until his alveoli were almost filled with blood, then he stopped, looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was dark and it was difficult to walk, so Yan Yue found a big tree to sit down and took a nap.
The dew rose up in the middle of the night, making my whole body extremely damp and making it very uncomfortable to sleep. Before the sky turned white, she was unreliable.
The slow-witted brain racked its brain to figure out that if the three pancakes were eaten sparingly, they would only last three days at most. The right thing to do was to hurry up and find a job with food and shelter.
What kind of job can provide food and accommodation?
Restaurants are probably the first choice. Even if you have to eat some leftovers, you won’t starve to death. Fortunately, the weather was still warm, so even if we couldn’t find a place to stay, we wouldn’t freeze to death.
The biggest problem now is that she has no token or message, so she can't prove her identity. So how do you find a job?
While I was daydreaming, I saw a woman in bright clothes standing against a tree in the distance.
Yan Yue walked forward quickly and said, "Excuse me, how can I get to the nearest town?"
Her tone of voice changed before I even got close to her, and only when I got closer did I see clearly that the person's feet were not even touching the ground!
Then how can you lean against the tree?
It was clearly hanging on the tree!
No wonder she felt more and more strange the closer she got, why was that person's neck so long? !
Yan Yue forcibly changed to a completely unrelated tune and pretended to hum a song: "... Walk, walk, walk, walk, to find the Buddha and Bodhisattva temple..."
Her feet moved faster and faster, and she silently chanted: Master Qingtang, Namo Goose Rice Tofu, My Buddha Rice Cake, Bodhisattva Wrapped Meat…
“Are you talking to me?”
A timid female voice sounded behind her, and Yan Yue was so frightened that she denied it loudly: "No!"
In the moment when the air froze, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't answer.
Without waiting for the ghost to react, Yan Yue leaped out in a flash!
She ran until the warm sun hit her face, then she looked back, panting heavily, and there was nothing behind her. Fortunately, the ghost didn’t follow!
Yan Yue walked and pondered for a whole day, but still couldn't understand why he could suddenly see ghosts? Could it be that because she had died before but not completely died, she was able to see ghosts?
As the sky gradually darkened, Yan Yue was still pondering over this matter. He walked aimlessly in the woods and had long lost track of the direction.
The sun set again. She knelt by the stream, scooped up the clear water to quench her thirst, and reluctantly took out the second pancake. I thought it would last me three days, but after walking all day I was really hungry, so I decided to eat half of it!
She munched on her tortilla, thankful she hadn't seen any ghosts all day. Of course, no one was seen.
This ghost looks no different from a human at first glance. How can we distinguish them from each other in the future?
As she was lost in thought, a breeze blew her hair up and the long-necked female ghost suddenly appeared on the other side of the stream in the morning.
"Cough..." Yan Yue was suddenly startled. Corn dregs jumped into her trachea and she coughed until her face turned red and her neck became thick.
The long-necked female ghost was squatting opposite her, smiling weirdly towards her right.
"See, I told you she could see me, right?"
Yan Yue turned her neck slowly and stiffly, and sure enough, a young man about four feet to her right waved and greeted her with a smile: "Hi!"
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!”
Yan Yue was so scared that she threw the tortilla over, but unexpectedly the tortilla went straight through the young man's body!
She was so frightened that she rolled and crawled, screaming and rushing into the woods.
The sky had grown completely dark, and the moonlight could hardly penetrate the dense forest, so Yan Yue groped in the dark, stumbling around in the forest.
How could she forget?
Ghosts cannot appear during the day, they can only appear at night!
Suddenly, his body swayed, Yan Yue didn't see the road clearly, stepped on empty air, and rolled down the slope!
She was knocked around and banged around and her body felt like it was falling apart. She was in pain all over. She lay on the ground for a long time before she recovered.
Yan Yue complained in her heart: If I had known this would happen, I would have rather been a young wife in Li Tiezhu's house! At least there is only one ghost in his house!
After rolling like this, she didn't know where she was rolling to. She only knew that the view in front of her eyes was wide, and it seemed that she was no longer in the dense forest. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the uneven dirt road, casting a shadow in front of me.
The shadow seemed to grow out of the top of her head, and Yan Yue finally gave up on herself.
Forget it, forget it. As the old saying goes, “the ghost lingers”!
This is what it feels like to be possessed by a ghost.
Do whatever you want!
The King of Hell told me to die at three o'clock in the morning, but I delayed it for a few more days, so I can consider it a gain!
…
Why is this shadow not moving?
…………
shadow? ? ? Living person! ! !
Yan Yue tried hard to control her neck, supporting the head that no longer seemed to belong to her, and struggled to raise her head.
A pair of exquisite satin boots was right in front of her, so close that she could almost lick the tip of their shoes by stretching her neck and tongue!
Looking upward along the boots, I could only see that the person coming seemed to be a tall man. The white robe reflected the moonlight, emitting a warm luster, and it was obvious at first glance that it was worth a fortune.
Under the moonlight, he was looking down at himself.
Against the light, his face could not be seen clearly, but his shadow on the ground was real!
Yan Yue was so excited that she wanted to cry. She used all her strength to hug the person's legs and cried loudly.
“Help…”
