Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 59 Geng Eighteen

Xincheng Geng Shiqi was sick in bed. He knew that his life would not be long ago. He said to his wife, "You and I will say goodbye forever." After I die, are you going to be widowed or remarry?

The wife was silent.

Geng Shi said, "Say, why don't you talk? It's good to be a widow, and it's normal to remarry. Anyway, at least give me a letter.

The wife said, "My family is so poor that I don't even have a stone of rice. When my husband is there, I don't have enough to eat. How can I be a widow?"

Hearing this, Geng Shiba grabbed his wife's arm and said hatefully, "You are so cruel." As soon as he finished speaking, he was out of breath. After death, her hands were still tightly clasped on her wife's arms, which scared her to shout. The family came when they heard the news, and it took a lot of effort to break it apart.

Geng Shiba didn't know that he was dead. His soul floated out of the door and saw more than a dozen cars parked on the roadside. Ten men and women were detained on each car, all of which were full of notes, and the people's names were densely written on them.

When the driver saw Geng Shiqi, he pointed to a small car and said, "Go up quickly." Geng Shiba didn't dare to disobey. He got into the car in a daze. There were already nine men and women in the car, and he was exactly ten. At a glance, he couldn't help but be full of doubts when he saw his name on the note.

The wheels rolled, and in a blink of an eye, there was a humane: "This is homesick place." The driver whispered, "I killed three today."

Geng Shiba was shocked and inexplicably. He quickly listened to the driver's talk and found that what they were talking about was about the underworld. Then he realized, "Is it true that I have become a ghost?" Thinking of my death, my mother was left unattended, and my wife was going to remarry, so I couldn't help but cry.

The carriage continued to move forward and stopped at a high platform. The platform was several feet high, and the tourists were weaving, all unkempt and shackles. Someone said, "This is Wangxiangtai."

The driver drove everyone to the ground. As soon as he fought with the ghosts, he scrambled and made a fuss. He climbed to the high platform one after another. The driver was annoyed, picked up the whip and slapped him fiercely and said, "Everyone stopped. Not everyone is qualified to go up to the home platform. Those who do evil in their lives are prohibited from going on stage. Fingers Geng 18 said coldly, "You, you can go up."

Geng Shiba used both hands and feet, climbed to the top of the stage in one breath, raised his eyes and looked at it. He had a panoramic view of the scene of his hometown. He touched the scene and couldn't help but feel sore nose and eyes. A man beside him asked, "Brother, is the man still crying? Is there something on your mind that you can't let go?"

Geng Shiba sighed, "I'm worried that my wife will remarry and my mother will be taken care of."

The man said, "Are you worried that it's useless? Since you miss your mother, go home and visit her. I'll give you an open way, but I'm afraid you don't have the courage.

Geng Shiba said arrogantly, "Who said I didn't have the courage?"

The man smiled and said, "Okay, you have guts. To be honest, the carpenter in the East China Sea, surnamed Zhang Mingwu, is a ghost like you. But I don't want to die. I'm ready to run away. Do you dare to run away with me?

Geng Shifa said, "How to escape? What if it is found by a ghost?"

The carpenter smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have everything. Brother, there are so many people in chaos now. It's a good opportunity to escape. Let's count one, two or three. Let's jump from the homewatching platform and run home together. How about that?"

Geng Shiba hesitated and said, "The Wangxiangtai is too high. What if he falls and gets injured?"

The carpenter scolded, "Bah, I want to go home, but I'm afraid of falling. Why is your boy so pus? I'll jump first. If you are afraid of death and dare not jump, you can do as you want. With that, he jumped and landed steadily.

Geng 18 gritted his teeth and then jumped down. Fortunately, the ground was soft and not injured.

The two stepped out of their legs and ran desperately. Geng Shishi remembered that his name was still attached to the car, so when the driver was unprepared, he quietly returned to the carriage, his hands were drooling, and secretly wiped his name away. The carpenter painted the gourd and did it again.

The two ran home, so tired that they were out of breath and their mouths were dry. Geng Shiba walked into the bedroom and saw his body lying motionless, and his soul returned to its place. Soon after, he woke up and shouted, "Water, bring water quickly."

The family was very scared. According to the words, they brought clear water. Geng Shihuo kept drinking, drank a large bucket of water, and then strode out of the door, facing the outdoor open space, kowtowed, and arched his hands. After working for a long time, he reluctant to return to the room.

The mother boldly touched his forehead. Her tentacles were warm, surprised and happy, and shouted, "18, are you not dead?"

Geng Shiba smiled and said, "Death is once, but the child is reluctant to part with his mother, and he has returned his soul." So he talked about the story and told the story one by one.

Mother asked, "What did you do when you went out just now?"

Geng Shi said, "Go and say goodbye to the carpenter."

The mother asked again, "Why did you drink so much water?"

Geng Shiba said, "I drank half of it, and half of it was drunk by the carpenter."

My mother suddenly realized that she hurriedly ordered her servants to prepare soup and rice. Geng Shiba drank a few mouthfuls of soup, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and rested for a few days. Her condition was cured, but she hated his wife's unrighteousness and no longer slept with her.
