Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 448 Dream Wolf

Zhili Bai, who is nearly 50 years old, has two sons. The eldest son, Bai Jia, was an official in the south and had not heard of the news for two years.

Bai has a relative surnamed Ding, who often shuttles between yin and yang. He visited on this day. Bai asked, "I don't know what the scenery is like in the underworld, and what about the worldly wisdom?" Can it be similar to Yangjian?

Ding was vague and perfunctory, and said with a smile, "That's it. There are many people in the sun and ghosts in the underworld."

A few days later, Ding visited again. Bai was taking a nap and got up to say hello. Ding said, "There is nothing wrong at the time. I don't know if I'm interested in going to Yinsi?"

Bai happily agreed and entered a city. Ding pointed to the door and said, "This public hall is my nephew's mansion."

Bai was surprised and said, "My nephew is an official in Shanxi. How can he be here?"

Ding said, "If you don't believe it, go in and have a look. You will know at a glance."

The two stepped in and saw their nephews in gorgeous clothes and sat in the hall. There were a lot of officials in the government office, but they didn't know each other, and it was not easy to report.

Ding Mou said, "Your son's government office is also nearby. It's not far from here. Would you like to see him?" Mr. Bai nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, when he arrived at a house, he pushed the door and entered. A giant wolf in the yard blocked the way. Bai was afraid and dared not step. Ding smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, come with me."

The two walked slowly forward, entered another door, and opened it with their hands. There was a hall in the door, sitting or lying down, all of wild wolves. There is a high platform in front of the hall, and the white bones on the stage are piled up like a mountain. Seeing this, Mr. Bai became more and more afraid.

He was confused. His son Bai Jia came out from the inside. When he first saw his father, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Come on, it's rare for my father to come here. Why don't you prepare food?"

As soon as the voice fell, a wild wolf shook its tail and beat, with a dead man in his mouth, entering the hall. Bai shrank all over and asked, "What is this?"

Bai Jia said, "The diet in the underworld is shabby. There is nothing good to treat my father. Only this human flesh dish is delicious. When I tell the kitchen to steam a few cages of human flesh buns, our father and son are lively together."

Bai changed color when he heard the words and said angrily, "Rebellious son, how dare you eat human flesh? Stop it, please." I was restless and wanted to leave. It's just that the wolves in the hall are like weaving, and there is no way forward or retreating, and they can't help but hesitate.

Just at this moment, the footsteps sounded like thunder, from far to near. When the wolves heard the news, they howled one by one, and their faces were afraid. Some hid under the bed and some got under the table.

Bai was stunned. Suddenly, two golden armored wrestlers entered angrily, holding a black rope and went straight to Baijia. Involutedly, he put the rope on the head of the white armor and pulled it hard.

Bai Jia shouted for pain, fell to the ground, rolled his body, and turned into a fierce tiger, with sharp teeth, as sharp as a knife. A golden armored wrestler snorted coldly, pulled out the sharp sword at his waist, and said angrily, "Bold slave, do a lot of evil, how dare you be presumptuous? Look at me taking your head!" The sword in his hand is waved and ready to split.

Another golden armor wrestler waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't be busy, don't be busy!" This person's life is not over. Next April, it will be the time to die! Don't cut off your head and knock off your teeth. He took out the carry-on hammer, aimed it at the tiger's teeth, smashed it randomly, and only heard ping-pong, blood splashed everywhere, and the broken teeth fell to the ground.

The tiger eats pain, roars, and shakes the mountains.

Bai was so scared that he woke up with cold sweat on his forehead. It turned out to be Nanke's dream. However, the scene in the dream is vivid in my eyes, and when I think about it at this moment, I am still afraid. At this time, he didn't have time to rest. He called his second son and said, "Your brother hasn't been home for a long time, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead?" There is a letter from home for my father. You take care of me and be sure to hand over the letter to your brother.

The second son, Nono, was ordered to leave for the south. At my brother's house, I saw that Bai Jia looked decadent, and his front teeth fell off. The second son was shocked and asked quickly, "Brother, where are your teeth?"

Bai Jia sighed and said, "The day before yesterday, I accidentally poured a few more bowls of yellow soup, rode a horse drunk, fell to the ground, and had a good pair of teeth, all of which were shocked. Nowadays, eating is a problem. I don't know which immortal I bumped into, and I was punished for this for no reason.

The second son said, "I think it's my brother who has done something wrong, right?"

Bai Jia said angrily, "What did I do wrong? But just send some silver tickets and bribe the boss! In the officialdom, everyone is like this. What is it? You bastard, no big or small, how dare you teach your brother a lesson?

The second son said, "How dare I teach you a lesson? It's just that since my brother is a parent official, he should work hard and love the people, do a good job, and blindly flatters his boss. I'm afraid he will go astray!"

Bai Jia said, "What do you know? A country bumpkin doesn't know the trick of being an official. The way to promotion is that if the officer is not the people and the boss likes it, he is a good official. Diligence and love for the people, can the people make you promoted? What a joke."

The second son said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. My father asked me to send you a letter. Now the letter has been delivered. Let's goodbye." Leave the letter and go away.

Bai Jia was so angry that he opened the envelope and recognized his father's handwriting. The letter said: The day before yesterday, when I sleepwalked, I saw my son turn into a tiger, and my heart was burning. I also heard that my son's life expectancy was about to die. It's better to die next April.

Bai Jia didn't care and thought, "The older his father is, the less timid he is." How can the scene in the dream be accurate? It's not surprising." I didn't take my father's advice to heart, but still did my own way and did evil as before.

When Bai knew about this, he cried sadly and had no choice but to donate his family property, help the poor, do more good deeds, and pray to the gods day and night: the rebellious son does evil, suffers by himself, and don't implicate the family.

The following year, Bai Jia was recommended by his superior and promoted to the Ministry of Public Affairs. On this day, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. It was April. Bai Jia returned from the outside and suddenly met thieves, a few people, and was kidnapped. Bai Jia didn't want to die. He donated countless properties and just wanted to live.

The bandit said, "I wait here to wash the grievances of the people of a county. Dog official, you have done a lot of evil all your life, and you still want to live? How many ingots of silver do you want to buy your life? To tell you the truth: No way." After saying that, the knife fell in his hand, the white armor's head fell to the ground, and he died.

The bandit was still angry and asked his family, "There is a gang of murderers under the dog official, called Si Dacheng. It's not a good thing to help Zhou. Where is it now?" The family identified together, and the bandits grabbed Si Dacheng's collar and killed him. Then they asked, "There are still four yamen who gather money to accumulate money and embezzle countless crimes. If it is a crime, they should also be the leader." He had to say that he killed four more yi yi yi yi.

After the death of Bai Jia, the soul will not be scattered beside the corpse road. Since then, a county magistrate has seen the body of Bai Jia and asked left and right, "Who is the deceased?"

He said left and right, "A certain county magistrate Bai."

The county magistrate said, "But the eldest son of the old man Bai? The old man Bai is kind. Look at the old man's face and save his son.

Before he finished his words, one person came out with the order, picked up the white armor and cut off his head, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to take the head of the deceased?" Is it a forward connection or a reverse connection?

The county magistrate said, "Just reverse it. Remember: head to the buttocks."

He took the order from left to right, connected his head to Bai Jia, and then left.

The wife came to collect the body. Seeing that the white armor was still breathless, she carried it home and poured soup. A few days later, she woke up leisurely. It's just that the property is lost, and the husband and wife can't return to poverty. Only the sojourn lasts for half a year.

Later, when Bai heard the news, he took Bai Jia back to his hometown. Although he was born again, his head was reversed. He looked strange. He couldn't stand ridiculing and gossip. Life is better than death.
