It is said that this is a story that my grandfather's father told him, of course it was a long time ago. In a small village market, there is a coffin shop. The owner's surname is Cui. Because of his popularity and his good ghost story jokes , his service attitude is sincere. For several years, Mr. Cui worked hard in business and lived a peaceful and quiet life.
But suddenly, there was a period of time when more and more people came to Boss Cui's house to buy coffins. Boss Cui was happy and sad. He was happy that he could earn more hard-earned money, but sad because of the sudden death of a blind date in the small village. Business was good, and Boss Cui worked until dark. Thinking of his wife at home waiting for him to eat, he didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly said a few words to the shop assistant and stepped into the night. My home is on the north side of the mountain, just around the village stream.
The moon was very bright, and Boss Cui hurried home. The road was quiet, and there was no one. Boss Cui, who had just entered the river, saw a dark shadow in the distance on the path by the stream. Boss Cui felt very good. Finally, I found someone to accompany me on the road. I walked towards him and saw that it was a woman when I got closer. The woman was wearing a red jacket and flowery pants.
She was sitting on a big rock sewing shoe soles. Boss Cui came forward and said, "Sister, why don't you go home? Can you see me working here?" The woman raised her head and said, "Oh, Boss Cui, the moonlight is bright, can you see me?" I just came back from my sister-in-law's house and sprained my ankle. I can't walk. I'll wait until daybreak before I go. "Boss Cui is a kind-hearted man and he couldn't bear to go alone. He talked to the woman for a few words and decided to carry her first. Go home and see a doctor at dawn. The woman did not refuse.
Boss Cui tied his clothes tightly and carried the woman on his back. Fortunately, the woman was not heavy, so he walked slowly. He chatted with the woman as he walked, but after walking for a while, he found that the woman was getting heavier. He thought it might be because of the weight of the woman. When I feel tired, I just grit my teeth and persevere. But it's really ridiculous that a grown man can't even carry a woman.
Fortunately, the house was not far away. Seeing the bright lights in the house, Boss Cui became excited and walked into the yard. While supporting the woman, he knocked on the door. After a while, the wife hurried to open the door. When she opened the door, she was stunned and shouted at Boss Cui: "What are you doing? Carrying a big coffin board?" Boss Cui was anxious. "The girl who helped me on the road sprained her ankle." The wife said, " It's a joke to tell nonsense ghost stories in the middle of the night. See for yourself." Cui The boss put the girl down and turned around to be stunned. He was stunned to see a big black coffin board. With cold sweat all over his body, Boss Cui quickly told his wife everything that happened on the road. His wife was also scared. The two of them hurriedly lifted the coffin board carefully. I put it in the yard. I went into the house, took some incense, paper money, and food, and respectfully placed them in front of the coffin. I bowed, and then I went to sleep. Nothing happened that night.
The next day, at dawn, Boss Cui called a few strong men to the place where they picked up the coffin boards. They found that not far from the big rock, an old grave had been dug up. There was no tombstone. The coffin had leaked. The coffin was empty, with no cover, and all the big nails on the bottom had fallen off. Inside was a rotting corpse crawling with maggots, and the tattered red clothes were torn to pieces by the bugs. When Boss Cui saw this, he immediately called his men from The store brought in a good coffin, and everyone helped to prepare the grave. The dead are the greatest, and they should rest in peace. After a busy day, everyone finally prepared the new grave. Because the old grave had no tombstone, Boss Cui gave the new tombstone a The deceased was given a nice name, Lady in Red.
Later, the village became peaceful, and not so many people died suddenly. Boss Cui continued to live a peaceful life. It is said that Boss Cui's son later became successful and became a high-ranking official. He moved out of the small village. But every year they They will go back to visit the grave of "Lady in Red".
My grandfather told me that good people who do more good deeds will be rewarded.
