Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 193 The Puppet

Yi Shui Ma, married to his wife Wang Shi, the husband and wife are harmonious and have a deep relationship. Soon after, Ma Mouying died young. Wang was widowed at home. Her parents advised her to remarry, but Wang did not listen. The mother-in-law felt sorry for his youth and also advised him. Wang's loyalty did not change, and he was determined not to get married. The mother said, "My daughter insists on keeping her integrity. Her ambition is good, but she is too young and has no children. It's not too late to remarry at this time. I have met many women. At first, like you, I refused to remarry, but in the end I regretted it. Women remarry, but it is human's normal, and no one will blame her.

Wang Shi said righteously, "My daughter will never marry again. If her mother is aggressive, she will only die." My mother had no choice but to let it be. Wang asked the craftsman to make a clay puppet statue for the prime minister. Every time he eats, he drinks wine to pay tribute, just like before he was alive.

One night, Wang was about to go to bed. Suddenly, he saw that the mud doll yawned, stretched out, and landed on the ground. In the blink of an eye, his body soared and turned into a living person. It was his prime minister Ma. Wang was shocked and called her mother. Ma stopped and said, "Don't do this. After I die, I am grateful that you can keep the festival for me. The Ma family has a daughter-in-law like this, and an ancestor is all glorious. My father had a bad virtue in his life, and the Ma family was doomed to the end. However, his wife's chastity moved Pluto and specially allowed me to go home and continue my relationship with you. When I give birth to a son to inherit the incense, I still need to leave. When Wang heard this, he was sad and happy. The two went to bed and rested, and their love was as usual.

After more than a month like this, Wang's stomach was shocked. Ma said, "The deadline has expired. You and I will never say goodbye from now on." From now on, it will not reappear. After Wang's pregnancy, she didn't hide it at first. After a long time, her belly bulged and could not be covered up, so she secretly told her mother the truth. The mother didn't believe it, but she got along with her daughter day and night, and she didn't find that she was dealing with outsiders, and she was puzzled.

After October, Wang gave birth to a baby boy and told people the story. The hearer laughed and didn't believe it. Wang was wronged, but there was no way to argue. In the township, he had a grudge against Ma and took the matter of Wang's birth to the court. The county magistrate interrogated the neighbors, and there was no different words. The county magistrate pondered for a while and said, "I heard that there is no shadow in the son of the ghost. If there is a shadow, it must be fake.

Hold the child into the sun, and the shadow is faint, like light smoke. The county magistrate ordered his men to pierce the child's fingers, drip the blood on the mud couple, and immediately penetrate it. With other mud couple tests, the blood will be wiped away. Only then did he believe that Wang did not lie.

A few years later, the child grew up, looked and behaved like Ma, and everyone began to wonder.
