Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 314

[Chapter 314 Living Corpse (11)]

The old man smiled, touched his chin and replied, “Yaozi!”

An anger ignited from Geng Jinhua’s chest. This answer made him feel the urge to punch someone, and clenched his fists. If he hadn’t taken care of his wife, he really wanted to punch him. After knocking the old scoundrel to the ground, Geng Jinhua endured it, and asked coldly, “Which kiln?”

“I don’t know about this, hehe, I have no money, and I have never been there.” The old man smiled slyly.

At this time, Qingfeng couldn’t hold back his anger anymore, rushed forward, slapped the old man’s face and scolded: “Are you still human?!

” Dare to hit Lao Tzu.” The old man covered his face, looked at Qingfeng with a cracked mouth, raised his hand to hit, but Geng Jinhua was afraid that the old man would hurt Qingfeng, so he hurriedly grabbed the old man’s fist.

“No matter who you are, don’t splash here!”

“Humph!” The old man was not stupid, he put down his hands, and said sullenly: “Alright, give me some money and I’ll leave.”

“You are here to ask for money . ?” Qingfeng’s heart cooled down, her father who had not been masked for ten years allowed herself to be bullied in the Geng family, and now she came to pester her when she heard that she was married to the young master of the Geng family, which disappointed her.

The old man sat on the chair with a grin and replied, “If you want to invite me to a wedding party, that’s fine.”

“Rogue.” Qing Feng scolded.

The old man pulled his face, hummed and said, “What’s wrong with the rogue? No matter how rascal I am, I’m your father.”

“Get out of here, I don’t have a father like you!”

Seeing this scene, Geng Jinhua felt sorry for Qingfeng, took out a few coins from the cabinet and threw it on the table. “Take it, don’t let me see you again.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, the dignified family, just giving out this money is considered a dowry?” The old man made a disdainful voice, too little, he dared not take it.

Qingfeng simply took back the money and said loudly, “If you don’t want to go, don’t dirty my house.”

“Don’t…” The old man snatched the money from Qingfeng’s hand and put it into his arms. “I’ll take the money and come back when I run out.”

“Come back?”

“You’re my daughter, do you have the heart to see me as an old man?” The old man was afraid that he thought Qingfeng would be a cash cow, which would be inexhaustible. , However, he didn’t know Qingfeng’s current situation. Although there was a third aunt who helped him, his life was not too rich.

Qingfeng’s heart was dead, and he only wished that he would not have such a father, so he warned: “With this money, I will not have a father like you, and I will go as far as I can.”

“Didn’t you hear what Qingfeng said?” When Geng Jinhua saw the old man not leaving, his face was not good.

The old man glanced at Qingfeng, hummed and left…

Qingfeng looked at the back and shed tears, Geng Jinhua knew that his wife was uncomfortable, so he comforted: “Don’t be sad, know that he is such a person, and ignore him in the future. That’s right .”

“… um…” Qingfeng rushed into Geng Jinhua’s arms, she didn’t understand why she had such a father.

After that, the old man did not come back for a period of time, but Qingfeng’s heart did not relax for a day. She was afraid that the shameless father would come to blackmail again. On the other hand, she also thought more and more. My own mother, I don’t know how my mother’s life is going. Geng Jinhua took his wife’s emotions into his eyes and in his heart. Fearing that his wife would be disappointed, he secretly went to find his wife’s mother. The hard work paid off. After half a month, there was finally news. But this news was not good news. Geng Jinhua hesitated, not knowing if he should tell Qingfeng. After thinking about it for a long time, he was afraid that Qingfeng would regret this life, so he still said it.

As soon as Qingfeng heard that his mother was in danger, he and Geng Jinhua hired a fast horse and came to the kiln in the city. This prostitute kiln is no better than those places with floors, but there is nothing like the charm of flowers. It is the third of the brothel. The lowest-level brothel in the sixth and ninth class, opened in a place not on the street, with a dozen or so rooms, small and dark, as soon as you enter, you can smell a stench mixed with sweat and fishy smell. In the innermost room, Qingfeng saw his mother, a disfigured woman lying on a small bed with sores on her body and festering skin. Despite this, Qingfeng recognized the one she was wearing on her mother’s hands at a glance. He only had a bracelet, so he rushed forward and cried, “Mother…”

The steward of the kiln stood beside him, and those who hated it dared not approach. Geng Jinhua was afraid that this matter would spread, so he took out some money and gave it to the steward. of. “Go out, there’s nothing to do with you here.”

“Okay.” Seeing Yin Zi’s bright eyes, the steward added with a smile, “If you want to pick up this dead man, hurry up, or else We have to carry a few of our brothers out to bury…”

“…” Geng Jinhua didn’t want to bother with such a person, and gave the steward some money.

The person in charge was a smart man. He disappeared after taking the money. Only Geng Jinhua and his wife Qingfeng were left in the hut. Qingfeng looked at the woman on the bed and cried. Clearing up, as if there was only one last breath left, just when Qingfeng called her again, the woman opened her eyes.

“…Qingfeng…” Her hands were like dry bones, with only a piece of skin hanging on it. The woman reached out and touched Qingfeng’s head, tears in her eyes. She hadn’t seen each other for ten years, and she was no longer sure that the big girl in front of her was her. ‘s daughter. “You are my daughter… Qingfeng?”

“I am, I am, mother, I am Qingfeng.” Qingfeng took the woman’s hand, tears falling down desperately.

Suddenly, the woman threw her hand and shouted: “Go, you go!”

“Why? Mother, don’t you want to see me?” Qingfeng shook her head, she finally saw her mother, how could it be like this leave.

The woman replied with tears in her eyes, “This is not where you should come. Don’t let that old ghost find you. You can go as far as you can.”

At this moment, Geng Jinhua stepped forward and said softly, “Mother, we are here to pick you up this time.”

“You… are…” The woman on the bed narrowed her eyes and looked at Geng Jinhua.

Qingfeng took the woman’s hand, smiled and wept, and replied, “Mother, my daughter is married, this is Jinhua, my husband.”

“Married?” Tears flashed in the woman’s eyes, and her lips trembled. “My daughter is married…Okay…It’s good to be married.”

Geng Jinhua looked sad and couldn’t take it anymore, he took a breath and said, “Mother, don’t talk so much, we’ll pick you up and leave here first, and we’ll go home. Go.”

“No…” The woman shook her head and said softly, “I’m already a bad person, I won’t go, I can’t dirty your house…”

“What are you talking about? Mother!” Qingfeng cried up.

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Geng Jinhua walked to the bed, pulled the woman directly onto his back, and said to his crying wife, “Qingfeng, staying here is not good for my mother’s health, so let’s take her back first. Let’s talk about it.”

“Well, um.” Qingfeng nodded, wiping away tears, and after Geng Jinhua carried the woman on his back, he walked in front and lifted the curtain for Geng Jinhua.

When he left the kiln, no one came to stop him. First, the steward took Geng Jinhua’s money. Second, Qingfeng’s mother was already dying, so she couldn’t receive any customers. It also took up space in the kiln. It was a waste of their strength to carry it and bury it, so they wished that Geng Jinhua would leave with Qingfeng’s mother.

In this way, Geng Jinhua carried the woman into the carriage, and after putting the woman away, Geng Jinhua and his wife guarded the woman together, and ordered the carriage driver to slow down, for fear that the road would be too bumpy and would make Qingfeng’s mother uncomfortable.

After returning to the small building, Geng Jinhua invited the doctor. When the doctor saw it, he shook his head, hid three feet away, and whispered to Geng Jinhua, “Master Geng, let’s prepare for the funeral.”

“Doctor, what did my mother get? sick?”

The doctor hesitated, thought for a while and then replied in a low voice, “Hua Liu.” After speaking, he carried the medicine box, and left without paying for the visit.

Geng Jinhua glanced at his wife, Qingfeng was wiping the wound on her mother’s hand, and he didn’t hear what the doctor said. He was afraid that his wife would be uncomfortable, so he planned to hide it. The wind is cold.” Qing Feng believed and took care of her mother in every possible way, and Geng Jinhua knew the danger of flower willow disease and was reluctant to say it.

However, for some unknown reason, this matter spread out, causing a lot of uproar in the city. They all said that the young master of the Geng family picked up a woman from the kiln and recognized it as a mother. Naturally, it also spread to the ears of Mr. Geng, who was furious. : “This wicked son, what other scandals are you going to do!”

“Master, calm down, I’m afraid that Jinhua will be buried in the bones.” The third concubine Tai persuaded her, but her heart was beating non-stop. Although she was angry, but before she knew the reason, she didn’t want Master Geng to have any more misunderstandings about her son.

Master Geng glanced at the third concubine, and said angrily, “It’s all you, the good son you are used to!”

“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. I’ll go to the small building tomorrow, and I’ll just ask if I can. Understood.” Third Aunt Tai Yishun replied.

Master Geng closed his eyes and said stubbornly, “You can go as soon as you go, don’t tell me, it’s none of my business.” The

third concubine knew that Master Geng was angry, and there was no one who didn’t care about her son. I was angry because I cared. After all, the Geng family is a big family. Rumors like this spread in the market, and I can’t hold my face. Besides, if a woman with willow disease is placed in a small building, the third wife is also afraid that her son will have three strengths and two weaknesses. .

Early the next morning, the third concubine came to the small building alone. When Qingfeng saw the third concubine, she shouted happily: “Jinhua, mother is here.”

Geng Jinhua heard it and put down the feet for Qingfeng’s mother to wash. Shui, came out, saw the third concubine with a smile on her face. “Mother, why are you here?”

“If I didn’t come, you might have done something out of the ordinary.” The third concubine held a handkerchief to cover her nose. This small building was built on the lake. Because Qingfeng’s mother was suffering from flower willow disease, the evil spirit never disappeared.

Qingfeng wanted to say something, but couldn’t say it. He smiled and said to Geng Jinhua, “Jinhua, talk to your mother for a while, and I’ll make tea.

” Tai pulled up the chair and sat down, and asked with concern: “Mother, how are you during this time?”

“Mother is okay.”

“What about Dad? Are you still mad at me?”
