During the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man surnamed Jiang in Yan'an, his middle-aged wife died of illness, leaving a daughter named Li Huairou, Jiang Laohan raised Li Huairou alone, and when she reached the age of marriage, she recruited a son-in-law.
After marriage, the husband and wife were in harmony and respected each other, Li Huairou's stomach was also angry, she was successfully pregnant, and gave birth to a girl named Ruoyao.
As a man, Ye Jinyi will try his best to let Li Huairou on weekdays, but Li Huairou has intensified, and he has become more and more disrespectful.
In the evening of this day, Ye Jin returned home in despair, and informed Jiang Laohan of a very bad news, Li Huairou met an old friend, a bricklayer, and talked very happily with the bricklayer, secretly took all the money from the family, eloped with him, Ye Jinyi searched for a whole day and did not find it, it is estimated that Li Huairou will not come back after that.
Jiang Laohan shook his head in disappointment, he saw the matter of Ye Jinyi and Li Huairou in his eyes, and knew that Li Huairou was a good-looking girl, and it was normal to have suitors behind him, so he believed all this.
Ye Jinyi is a carpenter, he works outside on weekdays, and only goes home to rest in the evening, Jiang Laohan arranged Ruoyao to live next door in order to take care of his seven-year-old granddaughter.
Five years later, in the middle of the night, Jiang Laohan was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, when he was suddenly woken up by a scream.
The screaming voice came from Ruoyao's room, Jiang Laohan didn't dare to delay for a moment, hurriedly came to Ruoyao's side, and found that she was staring at the air next to the bed in horror, with a frightened expression on her face, the whole person shrunk under the quilt, only showing two eyes, seeing Jiang Laohan, he directly threw himself into Jiang Laohan's arms and said: "There is a strange uncle there, he always smiles at me, and always suddenly runs to my bedside in the middle of the night!."”
When Jiang Laohan heard this, he glanced at the place Ruoyao pointed to, and found no clues, and after a while, Ruoyao quieted down and was comforted by Jiang Laohan to go back to his room to sleep, and the matter was stopped.
But Ruo Yao, there is another strange thing, whenever Jiang Laohan is lying on the bed to rest, he is always awakened by the sound of talking and laughter in the next room, Jiang Laohan walked to the door of Ruo Yao's room in confusion, and found that Ruo Yao was talking to a piece of air, with a smile on her face.
This incident made Jiang Laohan feel very strange, he specially found Ruoyao and asked her who she was talking to, but Ruoyao always pointed to a big water tank in the yard and said: "There is an uncle and a big sister who are there, and they will climb out of it every night to play with me, and after playing, they will return to the water tank." ”
Ruoyao suddenly lowered her voice, leaned into Jiang Laohan's ear and said, "Don't say it, my eldest sister won't let me say it, only I know!."”
Jiang Laohan has never encountered such a thing in his life, his village, it does not rain all year round, and it needs to store water in a water tank when it rains.
In order to solve Ruoyao's matter, Jiang Laohan opened the two large water tanks, and suddenly trembled with fright, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and took a few breaths to ease up, and there were two corpses in the water tank.
The two corpses had their limbs cut off and had been soaked in water for a long time, and they could no longer distinguish their appearances, and Jiang Laohan could only guess through their outfits that one was Li Huairou and the other was a bricklayer in the village.
The two of them are indeed good friends, they grew up together since childhood, but they have not done anything out of bounds, Ye Jinyi loves Ruoyao more, and he is reluctant to let her endure hardship, and he can't tolerate Li Huairou and the bricklayer to say a few more words, otherwise they will be jealous.
That day, the bricklayer went out to work for half a year before coming back, Li Huairou and he reminisced together, the two got together in the restaurant for a while, just passed by at night, mistakenly thought that Li Huairou and the bricklayer had a leg, so they killed both of them, and the body was hidden in the water tank.
The two were not buried after their deaths, such ghosts did not even accept ghosts, they have been wandering in the house, although Li Huairou is heavy on Ruoyao, she also loves her very much in her heart, every time she scolds her, she has to feel distressed for a long time, she deliberately took advantage of Ruoyao's sleep with the bricklayer to visit her in her room, who knew that Ruoyao suddenly woke up.
The child before the age of ten had a pair of yin and yang eyes, and the appearance of Li Huairou and the bricklayer scared Ruoyao, and after that, Li Huairou and the bricklayer no longer dodged, and came out directly to see Ruoyao and coax Ruoyao to be happy, which led to laughter in Ruoyao's room every day.
Because they were all ghosts, they could only appear at night every time, and they were worried that Jiang Laohan would not be able to withstand the blow, so they didn't dare to let Ruoyao reveal it.
Jiang Laohan reported the matter to the government, and after a thorough investigation, he was taken into a cell and executed by Ling Chi, and Jiang Laohan buried the bodies of Li Huairou and the bricklayer, and continued to raise Ruoyao until he grew up**, and sent Jiang Laohan to his death.
