Chapter 34 Chapter Thirteen Sleeping with Ghosts

The short mother-in-law couldn't stop crying when she heard what the elder son said. She threw away the broom and stood aside with her hands down and her head down, sobbing.Neither is it persuading us, nor is it not persuading us. Then the howls of the horsemen broke our silence.Grandpa picked up the hemp rope on the ground, and the few of us silently tied up the struggling horse soldiers.Ma Jun and the short mother-in-law were still standing aside. Seeing how miserable the horse soldier was, Jin Bo timidly asked his grandfather, "Can you do the magic trick again to relieve the pain of the horse soldier?"

Grandpa said helplessly: "This resentful ghost is too powerful, I really can't deal with it alone." Jin Bo said, "You want Liangzi to help?" Grandpa said: "It will be the same as last time. My physical strength is exhausted. I can't control it for a while. I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable if the ghost gets angry." Grandpa said that sometimes the temper of a ghost is like a snake. If it provokes you, it will be very troublesome.Even a Taoist priest with deep morality can sometimes not go against the will of a ghost. If he follows its will, he can subdue it more.As the saying goes: "Talk about people when you see people, and talk about ghosts when you see ghosts." But there is another point that people don't often understand, and that is: "You have to talk about what kind of ghost you see."

There are some harmful ghosts, you cannot be weak, you must not be afraid of them.Some ghosts have deep grievances, and it would be unwise for you to deal with them.For example, the hanging ghost already has a deep resentment towards the horse soldiers. If you continue to offend it repeatedly, it will repay you even more.Such a ghost can only find a more peaceful solution.This is somewhat similar to the way you interact with people. These are what my grandfather usually told me. In fact, he taught me some relevant knowledge subtly, but I have always been worried about that ancient book and ignored these benefits of my grandfather.

Ma Jun said suddenly: "Mother, Uncle Jin, Uncle Yue Yun, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will settle my affairs by myself, and the person who tied the bell has to be untied." The short mother-in-law cried and slapped her eldest son on the chest, and said sadly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for coming up with such a crooked idea, which killed the girl, and made me unable to live! Son, I'm sorry! " The short granny kowtowed to the horse soldiers who were struggling on the bed again: "Wenwen, Wenwen, I know you are here. Please spare my son. It's all my fault. If you want to blame, come to me You deserve to torture me and kill me. Come and kill me, I have no complaints!"

The horse soldiers looked at the short mother-in-law with hatred!That look is not what the horse soldiers can shoot at their mother!That was Wenwen's resentful eyes! My grandfather, Kimber and I couldn't help taking a few steps back, and I felt a burst of cold air rushing towards my face! Ma Jun crawled to the side of the short granny, hugged his mother and cried, "Come to me, come to me! The one who really hurt you is me! Don't torture my brother anymore!" The mother and son hugged each other, I can't cry. Jin Bo also helped to speak: "Wenwen, just let them go, show kindness!"

The horse soldiers ignored them, still struggling on the bed, howling eerily. The next day, Ma Jun spent a lot of effort to build a simple thatched shed next to Wenwen's grave, and then hugged Wenwen's tombstone and cried: "I know I'm sorry for you, but in my heart You are already my wife who passed the door, even if you die. From today on, I will live next to you, visit your grave, light the eternal lamp for you, place offerings for you, and talk with you. Others are afraid of you and try to deal with it You, I am not afraid, I will not deal with you. If you still remember the hatred in your life, you can take revenge on me first!"

The short mother-in-law persuaded Ma Jun to go home.Ma Jun didn't listen.The short mother-in-law had no choice but to compromise, and helped him bring some simple daily necessities, and sent him grain, oil and salt on time. From then on, people often saw a faint light on the place where Wenwen was buried. It was not a will-o’-the-wisp, but Ma Jun was burning paper money for Wenwen; It's not ghost eyes, it's the ever-burning lantern hung by Ma Jun. Ma Bing finally woke up after being in a coma for several days, but the red mark on his neck could not be eliminated for a long time.

Once he came to my grandfather’s house to express my gratitude, and I invited him to have a drink. He waved his hand and said, “No, I’ll drink a little wine, and this place will hurt so much.” He pointed to the marks on his neck.
