Chapter 28: Dead people are possessed by evil spirits
Hearing this, Mrs . Liu couldnt help but said: If that is the case, then let your brother go instead of you . You stay here and work in the field . Your older brother is taller than you . His appet.i.te is bigger than yours . If he goes to the compet.i.tion in your place, the chance he will win is much higher .
Bai Erzhu was anxious: That cant be done . This good opportunity was found by me . Why should I let older brother do it instead of me? No, I cant let him do it . I dont agree .
The two brothers rushed in the courtyard and fight . No one wants to give in . In the end, Old Lady Bai was forced to take out another 50 copper coins . And let her two sons went to the town .
Zhao Lan was injured, she was not in the house . Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu went to the town . They will likely return by the evening . Only old and young women and children were left . No one was willing to work in the field . Old Lady Bai reprimanded her two daughters-in-law but even her grandchildren dont want to work . So, she only let them rest in the house .
The villagers who pa.s.sed by their courtyard looked stunned and shook their heads: I have never seen such a lazy family . At this hour, other family members are working early in the fields, but they only sleep at home .
After a while, Mrs . Liu came back from the riverside with freshly washed clothes and saw the old lady sitting in the backyard . She busily said with her: Niang, I just washed the clothes by the river, and guess what I just heard?
Old Lady Bai gave her a look and deeply sighed . Sh doesnt have a good feeling about her words: I didnt go outside, so how will I know? If you want to say, then say it . If you dont want to, then dont . The old lady released a deep sighed .
What happened yesterday was still gripping her heart with sorrow . Mrs . Liu always helps the old woman in the past all the time . But as a result, this old woman only coldly hummed at her when she arrived?
But, how could Mrs . Liu not know whats on the old womans mind? So, she busily said: Niang, I just heard that yesterday evening, that dead girl went to the river to wash the clothes . At that time, Yingzi drowned in the river . Hu Feng took her out on the sh.o.r.e, but she was already out of breath . However, this dead girl, who knows when did she learned black magic, but after she touched and kissed Yingzi . Yingzi came back to life . Niang, dont you think its strange? The villagers are now talking about it, saying that dead girl was possessed by evil spirits . She clearly died yesterday, but she came back to life . Then, Yingzi also died but came back to life . Niang, do you think she was possessed by evil spirits?
Old Lady Bai doesnt know if the dead girl was possessed or not . All she could remember was, this morning, Yingzis mother came to their courtyard .
This morning, Yingzis niang came in here . Old Lady Bai said after thinking .
Mrs . Liu stopped hanging their clothes and looked back at the old lady: Yingzis niang came? Is it because of yesterdays incident? Did she came to settle the account to that dead girl? When Mrs . Liu was saying those words, there was a trace of excitement in her tone . She would like to see how that little b.i.t.c.h suffers from this account .
However, Old Lady Bai shook her head: No, Yingzis niang brought Yingzi together with her . She looks good . Nothing bad seems happened .
Mrs . Liu immediately lost her excitement: Then, why did she came?
Old Lady Bai said: She came with a basket . I didnt know her intention . But now that I heard your story, she must have come to thank Zhier for saving her daughters life . I dont know whats inside the basket, but Im sure, it was something good .
Since it was something good, how can they just let it go?
