At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy merchant named Lin Yang in Qingquan County. Because he made a fortune selling medicinal herbs in his early years, he bought some shops in the county for the elderly.
On this day, Lin Yang will celebrate his sixtieth birthday. There are a lot of well-known figures in the county, and flowing water banquets have spread all over the courtyard for two days in a row.
Lin Yang was very happy and kept toasting the distinguished guests. I drank a little high, so I went to the inner house to rest.
The housekeeper ran over in a panic and whispered in Lin Yang's ear: Master, something strange happened.
What's the matter? Lin Yang asked with a wine burp.
The housekeeper said that he had just received gifts from the distinguished guests, and the lady went into the back room to open the gift box, who knew that there was a gift box with a pair of shoes?
What shoes? Lin Yang was alert.
The butler replied, "A pair of straw sandals." ”
Lin Yang didn't say anything anymore, he vaguely felt that it was that incident, and he needed to verify it immediately.
Strode to the side room of Mrs. Wang, and after greeting and entering, I saw a pair of straw sandals on the table. And Madame was playing other gift boxes, completely ignoring Lin Yang's pale face.
Who is so lacking in virtue, there is a pair of straw sandals in the gift box. Wang complained.
Lin Yang didn't explain, just put the straw sandals in the box and took them outside. Looking at the sun overhead, I felt a hint of warmth.
It turned out that Lin Yang had a playmate when he was young, and he ate and lived together. The two brothers are like one person, never separated from each other.
I once went to the field to bring in a batch of medicinal herbs, and the sky was already dark when I walked on the road. At the fork in the road, Lin Yang wanted to stay in the village, and his friend Dongyang wanted to continue on his journey. The two had an argument, and Lin Yang went directly into the village in a fit of anger. In the second half of the night, Lin Yang felt that Dongyang would not be in any danger, so he got up and wanted to chase Dongyang.
When I passed by a deserted village, I saw a faint light in the middle of the deserted village. Lin Yang thought that Dongyang was warming up here, so he quietly rushed over.
I didn't expect it to be Dongyang, I saw him staring directly at the straw sandals on his feet, turning around and smiling at Lin Yang, and went straight down to the well.
At that time, Lin Yang was frightened, what was going on? What kind of hysteria did Dongyang have? Busy going over to catch people, but just as he approached the wellhead, a cold came, and Lin Yang shivered before he woke up.
There is water in this well, why didn't I hear the sound of people falling into the water just now.
Something is very wrong. Lin Yang felt that it must be a ghost who seduced him and wanted to drown himself in the well. So he ran to the fire and made a fire, ready to see the situation again at dawn.
The most important thing is that I didn't see Dongyang's luggage and medicinal herb bags around, it must be a ghost.
After figuring it out, Lin Yang sat on the fire, who knew that the more he roasted, the warmer it became, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark. Look at the well again, Dongyang's body is floating by the well.
Lin Yang unconsciously shed tears, it turned out that Dongyang really jumped into the well last night. I just wanted to go with him, but I didn't expect that something seemed to be moving under the well corpse.
Lin Yang felt that something was wrong, and he must avenge Dongyang.
I went to the village and hired a few people, fished up Dongyang's body, and buried it on a treasure land.
When I returned to the village, I didn't tell the truth, and then I found the Taoist of Qingyouguan Qian, and the Taoist said: Fortunately, the donor didn't look at the well, otherwise he would have ended up with Dongyang.
Things are like a thorn, and Lin Yang, who is a thorn, has been having nightmares for so many years.
Looking at the straw sandals, Lin Yang confirmed that this was Dongyang's thing.
Why can't you let go of it after so many years?
Lin Yang decided to go back to the well to have a look. The affairs of the family were explained clearly, and Lin Yang set off alone with straw sandals.
When he arrived at the deep well in the deserted village, Lin Yang looked around and saw that there was no change, but the well had been filled with soil. I went to the cemetery in Dongyang again, and the wild grass was already more than one person tall.
After pulling out the wild grass, Lin Yang decided to sleep by the well for one night.
I lit a fire and waited quietly for the night to fall.
A faint black shadow sat opposite Lin Yang, and Lin Yang didn't notice it. In the second half of the night, Lin Yang fell asleep.
Half-asleep, a voice came, "Brother Lin, I miss you so much." ”
Lin Yang opened his eyes and saw that it was his brother Dongyang, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Brother, you are ......”
Dongyang told the truth, it turned out that Qian Daochang destroyed the harmful goblins here, and asked the village to fill the well to death. Dongyang has done this piece of ghost errand, and recently wants to be a city god in another place, and wants to see his brother. So he gave people dreams and sent straw sandals that he had worn.
Dongyang, if only I had gone down to save you. Lin Yang blamed himself.
Brother Ringo doesn't have to care, it's over. Besides, I was attached to the cave wall at the time, just waiting for you to probe. If you probe, who will redress your brother's grievances?
One person and one ghost said it, the more the two people talked, the more they talked, and before they knew it, the rooster crowed, and Dongyang gave up his hand and said goodbye to his brother.
After Lin Yang woke up, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
