1 Chapter 1 Section 1

Sun Dong's grandmother's surname is Liu. If she were still alive, she would be over ninety years old now. Grandma Liu's life experience was miserable. Her father died when she was five years old, and her mother lost her mother when she was seven years old. Fortunately, she was taken in by a landlord in the village.

She didn't starve to death. At that time, she lived in a warehouse of the landlord's family. She helped the landlord's family with work during the day and rested here at night. There were two or three girls of about the same age with her.

This warehouse is very old. Although it is dilapidated, for Grandma Liu back then, it was very good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. One evening, as the sun just went down, Grandma Liu, who was only seven years old,

As she was picking corn in the yard, Grandma Li, a long-term worker in the landlord's family, told a story that happened in the landlord's house decades ago. First of all, Grandma Li was in her sixties and had few quirks in her personality.

He communicates with others, but he loves the young Grandma Liu very much. He often tells her stories to amuse her and relieve her boredom.

Today Grandma Li is talking about a fact from a long time ago. At that time, the head of the family was still an old man. When the old man turned 50, he took a concubine. This woman was named Zhao Lanhua. There were ten beautiful girls. Because the family was poor,

Her parents sold her to the old man. Although Lanhua was reluctant to do so, what could a weak woman do in the feudal era? She had no choice but to obey the fate. On the wedding night, the old man came in drunk after three rounds of wine.

Orchid's room, but after opening the door, the bride was nowhere to be seen!

Just when the old man was wondering, a scream suddenly came from the yard: "Someone is killed!"

When the old man heard this, his drunkenness suddenly went away. He hurriedly ran to the yard and saw the long and short-term workers crowding in front of a door where debris was piled up. There was a lot of chattering and noise. When everyone saw the old man coming, they hurriedly got out of the way.

When he said that, the old man looked up and saw his concubine who had just passed through the door - Orchid hanging on the beam in the warehouse!

After seeing this scene, the old man frowned and immediately called a few servants to carry Lanhua's body down. He also ordered everyone not to publicize this moment for the time being. Finally, he ordered someone to take some money and send it to Lanhua's home.

, and informed her family that Lanhua died of a sudden illness...

The matter was covered up in this way, and in that era, it was common for a concubine to die, so within a few months, everyone forgot about it, and only treated it as a casual topic after dinner when they had free time.

Chat.

One night, the old man felt it was stuffy in the house, so he walked to the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. The stars and moon were dim that night, and the courtyard was pitch black. There was an occasional breeze, and the old poplar tree in the courtyard rustled, making it look eerie.

Man, the old man shrank his neck, tilted his head and looked around. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the warehouse where Lanhua hanged himself. He vaguely seemed to realize that the door was not locked! There was a slight gap in the door, and within the gap was darkness.

, terrifying. However, the old man did not know what evil he had committed! He walked towards the warehouse hesitantly!

With a "squeak" sound, the old wooden door was pushed open, and there was a musty smell caused by the heavy summer humidity! The old man frowned. He shrank his neck again and stepped into the house! The house was messy.

There were some farm tools, but nothing else. The small room seemed very empty! The old man seemed to think of Orchid, who died not long ago. He subconsciously looked up at the beams. This look! It almost scared the old man’s soul.

When I came out, I saw a long-haired woman in a bridal outfit on the dim roof, sitting on the beam staring at me expressionlessly! This woman was none other than Zhao Lanhua, who hung the beam here a few months ago.

After all, the old man was a well-informed man. After being startled, he quickly calmed down and bravely said: "Lanhua, why are you doing this?"

Zhao Lanhua remained expressionless, staring straight at the old man without saying a word. Seeing this, the old man said again: "If your parents are in need, I will help them. What are you worried about? Are you still worried?"

Do you want me to give you a big funeral?" Zhao Lanhua still sat there expressionless and stared at the old man. The old man was a little frightened by the stares, so he quietly exited the warehouse and quickly returned to the bedroom. The eldest wife saw the old man.

With a bad look on his face, he asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
