Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 442

[Chapter 442 The Son of the Dragon (2)]

After dark, the fishing village was very quiet. Except for the sound of stormy waves, there was no other noise. After the lights went out, a black figure entered the fishing village and stopped in front of a hut to the east of the fishing village.

After knocking on the door three times, the lights in the room turned on. After a white-haired old man got up and put on his clothes, he asked in a loud voice, “Who is it? It’s so late.”

“Help… help…” A The man who was walking like a fly just now collapsed in front of the door.

When the old man heard this, he hurried over and opened the door. He saw a strange man collapsed in front of his house. The old man hurriedly helped him into the house. Seeing that the man was seriously injured, he pretended to be helped to his bed. , asked in a low voice: “Young Master, this is…”

“Old man, I was originally a businessman at sea. Unexpectedly, I was robbed by pirates and the ship sank.” Take out a cloth bag. “Old man, I’m afraid I can’t do it anymore. It’s just that I have a wife and children at home. I’d like to trouble the old man to send the money I’ve earned over the years to my house.

” When he reached out, the man was out of breath. This made the old man a little embarrassed. Now an irrelevant person came to his home and died like this. Although he was kind, he would also suffer a lawsuit if people found out. After thinking and thinking, the old man put on his clothes, lifted the man with difficulty, and walked towards the beach. He only prayed that the wind and waves would be stronger and the man’s body would be taken away so that no one would find it. So, the old man stood by the beach and watched for a long time, until he saw the corpse rushing away, and then returned to his house majestically. After entering the house, the old man opened the bag that the man gave him and saw that there was actually a lot of silver in the white flower. To elaborate, there were hundreds of taels.

“How can I do this?” The old man frowned, but it was still dark, and he couldn’t think of a good solution. In addition, the night was cold and windy, so he had to undress and lie down on the bed first.

At this time, two figures appeared by the seaside, these two people were Ao She and Liang Yuan, Liang Yuan looked at the old man’s broken house and laughed: “I said it, Your Highness, this old man is also a greedy person. , actually throwing the corpse for money.”

“Are you so sure?” Ao She didn’t think so.

Liang Yuan smiled and asked: “Your Highness, you saw him throw me into the sea with your own eyes, is there any other explanation?”

“You too, acting is too sloppy. Saying where your family lives, where do you ask people to send the money?” Ao She couldn’t help but smile: “I’m afraid you didn’t say it on purpose, so that people can’t return the money. Is it true?”

“Your Highness ? “…”

“What? Isn’t it?”

“If Your Highness insists on thinking this way, then I will…”

“How about tomorrow? I will appear in front of the old man tomorrow, and let him see with his own eyes how the dead come back to life, Scared him to death?” Ao She was reminding his good wishes.

Liang Yuan felt uncomfortable and couldn’t do anything about it, who made Ao She the Prince Long? He grumbled and replied: “Tomorrow I will change my appearance to find him.”

“Remember, you said that you only have a wife and children in your family, don’t change it.” .

Liang Yuan kicked the sand with his foot and replied, “Of course not.”

After speaking, the two disappeared by the sea. The next day, before dawn, the old man got up, pushed open the door, and walked to the house. Before, he was fiddling with his fishing net, but for some reason, the old man just couldn’t calm down. He always felt that he was being trusted by others, but he couldn’t think of a good way. At this time, a young and beautiful young lady slowly walked over to the old man, and asked with a crying voice: “Old man, have you seen my husband?”

“Your husband?” The old man looked up at me A young woman, a woman she has never seen before.

“My husband went out to sea yesterday and didn’t return. I heard that everyone who went with him encountered an accident, so I came to this seaside to find…” The woman started crying as she spoke.

The old man suddenly remembered the man from last night, so he asked cautiously, “What does your husband look like?”

“It looks like Pan An…”

“Well…I haven’t seen it before.” The old man shook his head. What the woman said was different from the man’s appearance. Although the man who came last night said he was young, it was not bad, but he had not reached that point.

When the woman heard this, she became anxious. After looking at the man outside the fishing village, she hurriedly said, “I’m wearing black clothes…”

“…” The old man raised his head again and looked at the woman. “Then what’s so special about him?”

“…” The woman asked, and after thinking about it, she replied, “He brought several hundred taels of silver when he went out to sea this time.” The

old man was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking about it. This woman was too quick to find, but seeing the sad face of the woman, he believed it and sighed in his heart, there was nothing he could do. In order to protect himself, he had to throw the man into the sea. Otherwise, he would definitely Leave the corpse for this woman to recognize.

“You come with me.”

“The old man…”

“I have seen your husband, and he asked me to give you something.” The old man looked back at the woman and walked into the house first.

The woman followed behind the old man, and after entering the house, the old man directly put the money that the man handed over to him last night in front of the woman, and sighed: “This is what your husband asked me to give to you before he died. ”

Xianggong…” The woman took the cloth bag and started crying. After crying, she asked: “Old man, how did my husband die?”

“I met a pirate.”

“Did he tell you?”

“Well , he fell in front of my house last night.”

“What about him now?”

“Already dead.”

“Dead?” The woman burst into tears and shook her head: “Old man, you lied to me, you clearly said that he told You met a pirate, how could he die?”

“Your husband was seriously injured, so…”

“No, old man, I don’t believe it. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. Unless I see the body of my husband, I don’t believe it.” The woman wiped away her tears and looked at the old man expectantly.

The old man looked at the woman in front of him in embarrassment, what should he say? If he said that he threw his body into the sea, then this woman would fight with her. After thinking about it, the old man replied, “Don’t embarrass me, your husband asked me to hand over the money to you, and then left. Now, he was seriously injured, and I also guessed that he may have been in trouble, and I don’t know about the rest.”

“Old man, you lied to me, you must be greedy for my family’s money, so you killed him!” The woman suddenly looked at him angrily. with the old man.

The old man opened his mouth wide. He didn’t expect that he would be accused of murder even if he paid money, so he sighed: “You think so, this old man can’t do anything about it. If you insist, go and sue the official.”

“You “…” The woman was still thinking about it, but at this moment, there was another person in the room. It was someone the old man couldn’t see, but the woman could see it clearly and knew that she shouldn’t make trouble, so her voice softened. “In that case, thank you old man.” After speaking, the woman pushed open the door and left, leaving the old man alone in the room sighing.

The woman kept walking outside the fishing village until she went to a place that others could not see, and then changed back to her original form. She looked at the silver in her hand and threw it into the sand pile in anger. before.

“How? Are you convinced?”

“No, although the old man didn’t take the money, if I hadn’t gone to him, he wouldn’t have voluntarily paid me back.”

“That’s because you didn’t tell him why he was still in the first place. No fault.”

“If he had no guilt in his heart, and if he wasn’t timid, how could he throw his body into the sea ?

”

Your Highness, why do you always speak for these hypocritical humans, they are all treacherous and cunning, and they do not deserve your sympathy.”

“I’m not helping them, I’m telling the truth. The old man really didn’t take your money, isn’t it enough to prove that human nature is inherently good?

”

Ao She’s original intention was to stop resentment against human beings from LiangWan, but he didn’t expect that LiangWan would not listen to his persuasion, so he had to say: “Then how do you believe that people are indeed kind?”

“One more bet.”

“Oh?” Ao She was a little surprised by Liang Wish’s proposal.

Liang Yuan smiled, walked to Ao She, and said loudly: “If Your Highness can prove it to me, I will accept it.”

“Then how do you bet?”

“Since the game just now was asked by His Highness, next Is it possible to make good wishes come out with a question?”

“Alright, that’s fair.” Ao She nodded, he didn’t want to use his identity as the Dragon Prince to suppress good wishes, but wanted Liang wishes to willingly admit the fact that human nature is inherently good.

In order to find a good test question for both parties, Ao She and Liang Yuan went a long way, and came to Jin’an County, which is not very far from the sea. Speaking of which, Ao She and Liang Yuan also went around in circles. , and came back to this place. Jin’an County is relatively prosperous. After seeing the faces of those people on weekdays, Liangyuan felt that he had a better chance of winning, so he pointed to the people on the street and said, “His Royal Highness, tomorrow, I will give a question.

” That’s right.” Ao She smiled.

In the future, Liang Yuan racked his brains and finally came up with a best strategy. He wanted to pretend to be a rich boy and get acquainted with the rich Liu family in Jin’an County. Not only that, but also to make the Liu family willing to give their precious daughter to Boo. Ao She, and before they get married, let Ao She pretend to be bankrupt and lost, in order to verify the truth of human beings. For Ao She, it will take some time, but there is nothing to rush back to the Dragon Palace, so he agrees to Liang Yuan’s proposal. As for Liang Yuan, he also has his own role to play, and he did not disclose it to Ao at all. Don’t listen.

Following his plan, he built a large mansion in an unobtrusive place in Jin’an County, and recruited some servants to pretend to be the son of a big family. Before that, he had already inquired about the Liu family. My daughter Liu Yu will go into the temple in a few days to burn incense and pray for blessings…
