Chapter 21 Chapter 5 Primary School Teachers

"What? Is the hidden mirror ghost real?" "Of course, otherwise, how could my two sons die!" Faced with Cai Quan's affirmative tone, Zhen Zhen couldn't help turning blue. No matter how scary the legend is, it is just a fictional story, which has nothing to do with reality, and it is not worth being scared.However, when illusory legends overlap with reality, it will inevitably make people feel creepy. However, while I was surprised by the overlapping of legend and reality, what surprised me even more was Cai Quan's attitude.Judging from the emotions expressed in his words, the three daughters seemed to have no value in his eyes, and it would not be a pity even if they died.Although he expressed great grief over the death of his two sons, it seemed to me that this grief was no different from the grief of loss of property.

In his eyes, sons and daughters are nothing more than an important property, a honor to pass on to the next generation, and a tool for retirement. For a person like him whose thinking still stays in the feudal society, I really don't want to have more exchanges with him, so I directly cut to the point and asked him who was the person who saw the ghost of the hidden mirror with his own eyes? "It was Wu Wei's daughter-in-law who opened a frozen meat shop in the vegetable market. She was very frightened by the ghost of the hidden mirror. She was ill for several days. Later, she went to the temple to pray for the Taoist talisman, and after drinking the water, she died. Get better slowly."

After learning who the witnesses of the ghost of the hidden mirror were, we immediately went to the Wangcun vegetable market to look for Wu Wei and his wife. It was dusk when we arrived at the vegetable market, and there were hardly any customers in the market. Although most of the vegetable vendors had already closed, the frozen meat shops were still open.A man in his thirties was sitting at the door of the frozen meat shop. When he saw us approaching, he immediately stood up and enthusiastically asked us what we wanted to buy. After we clarified our intentions, we learned that he was Wu Wei.When I asked about the hidden mirror ghost, his face immediately became ugly, and he said with lingering fear: "The hidden mirror ghost has caused my wife to be miserable."

"What's going on?" Zhen Zhen asked timidly. People are sometimes very strange, the more they feel afraid of something, the more they want to know more about it.This is also a good thing, because the unknown is often the root of fear. The less you know the truth, the more you will think wildly, and the more you will feel scared.However, there are no absolutes in the world, and sometimes you will find that the truth is more terrifying than rumors if you get to know it deeply. Wu Wei lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling slightly, and briefly told us about his wife's terrible experience——

About half a month ago, my daughter-in-law planned to go back to her mother's house for a visit.Because she wanted to bring some biscuits and fruits as gifts to her natal family, she asked me to go with her, saying that it was to help her carry things.For men, the most annoying thing is these playing house etiquette, you send me, I send you back and forth, it is better to sit down and play a few rounds of mahjong. At that time, the Spring Festival was just over, there were a lot of things to do in the store, and I didn't want to go back to her mother's house with her, so I let her go there by herself.Anyway, her natal family is in Liangcun, just a few steps away.

That night, I waited for a long time and didn't see her come back. I thought she was angry about the day's affairs and stayed overnight at her mother's house and didn't come back.So I called her natal home, but the mother-in-law said that she had been away for a long time and should have arrived home long ago. I thought she must have had an accident, so I wanted to go out to find her, but as soon as I got to the door, I saw her running back like a crazy woman, yelling for help.As soon as she entered the house, she got into the bed and covered her head with the quilt.I asked her what happened, but she didn't answer me, she just kept saying that there was a female ghost trying to catch her.

I don't know what kind of nerves she was having again, but when he finally came back, he ignored her, thinking that she would be fine the next day.But the next day she lay in bed all day, and I found several scars on her body, so I asked her what happened last night? She didn't say anything, just said that she felt dizzy and had no strength at all.I took her to the hospital, and the doctor said that she only suffered some skin trauma, and there was no other problem. After treating the wound, she could go on an intravenous drip. After returning from the hospital, I asked her again what happened last night?She said that when she passed the elementary school in the village last night, she saw a female ghost in the classroom window.The female ghost grabbed her and refused to let her go, saying that she would take her back to be a maid, and asked her name.She told the female ghost that her name was Liang Caixia, and the female ghost said that as long as the surname was Cai, she let her go.She was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so she scrambled and ran towards the house.

My daughter-in-law is from Liang Village, and she has never heard of the legend of the ghost with a mirror in Wangcun, so she didn't know that what she saw was a ghost with a mirror.It's a good thing she didn't say her surname is Cai, otherwise she might lose her life. The Tibetan Mirror Ghost didn't say he wanted her life. I thought she was just scared out of her wits, so I went to the temple and begged for a talisman for her.I gave her the magic rune water to drink, and after a few days of rest, the situation gradually improved.However, she is still a little scared now, and she dare not go out when it gets dark, and she is especially afraid of things like mirrors and windows.I had to hide all the mirrors at home, and stick newspapers on the glass of the windows...

Later, he told us that the legend about the ghost of the mirror is basically the same as what Cai Quan said. The biggest difference is that the Taoist priest did not apologize to the widow with death, but obtained the widow’s forgiveness after saving the soul of the widow’s daughter. . However, because of his own fault, the tragedy of the widow, mother and daughter was caused, which made the Taoist feel very guilty.In order to make up for his mistakes, the Taoist priest decided to put all his eggs in one basket and fight to the death with the ghost of the hidden mirror, and finally forced the ghost of the hidden mirror into the air-raid shelter behind the primary school, and imprisoned the ghost in the cave with his own life.

It's a pity that the Taoist priest's cultivation base is superficial, and he couldn't completely imprison the hidden mirror ghost. He could only restrict her activities to a certain extent.So every once in a while, the hidden mirror ghost can break through the shackles and run outside the cave to harm people. If the facts are as he said, then the hidden mirror ghost is too scary.But what he heard was half false, and what he saw was not true, not to mention that he only heard it from his wife. However, I noticed that in the course of his narration, he mentioned that his wife had several wounds on her body after being attacked by the ghost of the mirror.After confirming with him, I learned that the scar was caused by the attack of the hidden mirror ghost, not by falling while escaping.In the scope of my knowledge, ghosts are ethereal, and it is impossible to cause physical harm to people.

So I asked him if he could let his wife tell us the details of the night that happened. He thought for a while and said, "No problem, my wife will stay at home. If you don't mind, come home with me!" He then picked up the phone on the cashier desk and called home. .After telling his wife we ​​were coming to visit, he closed the shop and took us home. I wanted to drive directly to Wu Wei's house, but when the police car approached an elementary school, he motioned for me to park the car in front of the playground.He said that the country roads are narrow, and the section of the road leading to his house cannot be passed by police cars, so they have to get off and walk. After getting out of the car, he told us that it was here that his wife was attacked by ghosts hiding mirrors.It was already dark at this time, and with the help of the faint starlight, I could barely see the whole picture of the elementary school clearly. The main building of the elementary school is a three-story teaching building, covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters. In front of the teaching building is a simple basketball court, and there is a circle of sand and gravel paved track outside the court.The most striking thing in the entire elementary school is the windows of the teaching building. From the front, you can see more than 20 windows. Each window is about 2 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, all of which are inlaid with dark blue glass. Sliding aluminum alloy windows. Every classroom in the teaching building must have sufficient light during the day, which is very suitable for students to attend classes.However, when night falls, the dark blue glass looks like mysterious black mirrors under the faint starlight. At this moment, the legendary hidden mirror ghost seems to be hiding behind a certain mirror, watching our every move, waiting for an opportunity to attack us. Perhaps the mirror-like glass made Zhen Zhen feel uneasy, and she kept urging us to leave quickly.But I suddenly remembered that the destination of our trip was the Wangcun Primary School in front of me.The purpose of our visit was to investigate whether primary school teacher Wang Xi was the murderer of Cai Shaomeng.But later, he kept focusing on the hidden mirror ghost, and instead forgot the original purpose. I asked Wu Wei if he knew Wang Xi, and he replied: "Yes, Wang Village is not big, most people in this village know each other, and he is a well-known figure in the village, there is no one who does not know him. However, now you want It's not the right time to find him." "Why?" Zhen Zhen asked. Wu Wei laughed and said, "Don't think he's just a primary school teacher. His shows are colorful. It's hard to find him after school." I took advantage of the situation and asked, "What kind of person is he, can you tell us?" "Let's talk as we go!" Wu Wei led us across the country road to his house, and told us about Wang Xi's "brilliant deeds" on the way—— Wang Xi's father, Wang Fa, was a contractor who specialized in government construction projects.He was the one who built the Wangcun Vegetable Market, and he still has a share! You policemen must know that as long as you can get involved with government projects, you will have no money to spend, and he is a rich man with enough money to fill the sea.When his eldest daughter got married two years ago, almost two hundred tables were set up for the wedding banquet.Although it was a married couple, the man couldn't sit at thirty tables, and the others were all the woman's guests, basically anyone who knew him was invited.Even idlers like my wife and I who have nothing to do with each other have received invitations. The wedding banquet was very rich, full of expensive dishes such as lobster, shark's fin, abalone, as if afraid that we would not know that he was rich.Hehe, but I don't care how luxurious his banquet is, anyway, my wife and I only give him a red envelope of 100 yuan, why should he always increase our rent! (Zhen Zhen didn't seem to be interested in Wang Fa's money, so she urged, "What about his son?") Wang Xi is a well-known troublemaker in our village, basically he has never done anything bad.I most remember when he was about fourteen or five years old, he made a little girl in Liangcun's belly big, and then he didn't want her.The girl was his elementary school classmate, who was also fourteen or five years old at the time, and she dared not tell her parents after being played by him.Seeing that her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, sooner or later she would not be able to hide it, and when she couldn't think about it for a while, she jumped into the fish pond and committed suicide. After the girl's parents knew what was going on, they of course refused to let him go, and called all the relatives to come to his house to settle accounts with him.Wang Fa can rely on his son to succeed him, so of course he can't lose anything.However, although he was rich and powerful, his son was indeed in the wrong, and he didn't want to make things big, so he had to pay the girl's parents a large sum of money. Later, Wang Fa was afraid that his son would continue to cause trouble for him, so he spent money to find connections and sent Wang Xi to study in a key middle school in the provincial capital.Originally, he wanted Wang Xi to study hard in a key middle school, but after Wang Xi arrived in the provincial capital, no one controlled him, and instead became more mischievous. He was almost kicked out of school several times, and in the end he had to spend money to keep his student status. Although the student status can be kept, Wang Xi is not a material for studying in the first place, and he finally got into the college entrance examination, but he is too embarrassed to say the score.Later, his father had to spend money to cram him into an obscure normal university. He had been working in a normal school for a few years, and after getting his graduation certificate in hand, Wang Fa spent money to buy him a job in a middle school in the county town.It's a pity that he still has that virtue, and he messed up his students.Although it is not as deadly as before, it is not a problem that can be solved by spending money.The county town is not as easy to handle as our village. Although Wang Fa has burned incense for the principal, he still can't keep his job.It's no wonder the principal, with such a teacher in the school, who else would dare to let his daughter come to school? After being bombarded back in the county town, Wang Xi worked with his father on projects for a while, but he didn't pay attention to anything, often messed up things, and offended some officials.This is his father's job, of course he can't be allowed to mess around, so he has to go back to his old job and find him a job in Wangcun Primary School. Although Wang Fa is not capable of handling the middle school in the county, he is still capable in Wangcun, and the principal of Wangcun Primary School is his cousin, so it is not difficult to get Wang Xi to work in the primary school.However, Wang Xi's stay in the elementary school made the parents of the female students worry all day long, and they all told their daughters not to get too close to him, as if they would get pregnant if they looked at him. In fact, the worst one was Principal Wang. Although he was very reluctant to let Wang Xi work in the elementary school, he had received a lot of favors from Wang Fa over the years.And in the final analysis, it's a relationship with relatives, so I can't help but give this face! However, Wang Fa also knew that his son was not a good guy. When he put Wang Xi into the primary school, he told Principal Wang: "I'm spending money to send him to jail." He donated a sum of money to the primary school every year. Pay your son's salary.So, don't let him do what you can't let him do, as long as he comes to work on time every day, don't let him make trouble everywhere. Principal Wang is a smart person. In order to prevent Wang Xi from causing trouble for him and to reassure his parents, he arranged for him to do some administrative work, and he was nicknamed "Dean of Academic Affairs".In fact, there are only a dozen or eight teachers in this palm-sized elementary school, and they are all honest people who keep their own place. So what kind of administrative work is there? Therefore, Wang Xi actually went to elementary school on time every day to "go to prison" as his father said. Wang Xi is definitely unwilling to go to elementary school and go to jail every day, but he has to go.Because his father gave him a ruthless trick. If he didn't go to elementary school on time, even if he was late for just one time, his salary for the month would be deducted.Don't think that his salary is not much. As I said just now, his salary is actually a donation from his father. To put it bluntly, it is to send him pocket money through the school. Wang Fa's trick worked quite well, at least Wang Xi didn't cause any big trouble during his two years in elementary school...
