In the year when the story happened, Dawang Wang had reached the age of 20 and had reached the age of marriage.
Wang Laohan and his wife have asked the village matchmaker to find a daughter-in-law for their son. After less than half a year, the matchmaker came with good news, and a girl named Zhang Lan in Zhang Cun agreed to this marriage.
After thanking the matchmaker, Wang Laohan and his wife began to arrange marriage for their son Dawang Wang.
However, the woman Zhang Lan's father has a request that a new room must be built for Zhang Lan. Wang Laohan is a businessman and has some savings in his hand. It was not difficult to build a new house, so Zhang Lan's father agreed to this request without much thought.
The woman's parents are also very pleased to learn that other conditions have not been chosen. The two families then chose a wedding day and went their separate ways.
Wang Laohan began to look for a foundation to build a new house for his son and daughter-in-law. There is no idle foundation near his old house, so Wang Laohan looks elsewhere. It's just that there is an idle foundation by the well at the head of the village.
This foundation is next to other houses, so building a house here looks less abrupt.
After the foundation was selected, Wang Laohan invited some craftsmen from the town to start building new houses.
There is an old man in the village, Li. When he was young, he traveled around the world and knew some miracles. When he learned that Wang Laohan was going to build a house by the well, he kindly reminded him: "Uncle Wang, this is not a good place. In the past, this was a mass grave. I suggest you build it in another place. Some things should be taboo! "
After listening to this, Wang Laohan waved his hand again and again and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, that was many years ago. As long as I can remember, someone has been building a house next to it. Aren't they all right? " Thank you for your kindness, so leave it alone! "
Li Laowen choked back with a few words, shook his head helplessly, said nothing, and left with a hunch.
With a wave of Wang Laohan's hand, all the craftsmen went into battle and the new house began to be built at once.
The previous well was leveled by Wang Laohan when he was building a house because it was no longer used. Then he laid a foundation on it and built a yard.
"Your place is not small. It must be spacious to live in! " A carpenter said with a smile.
"This foundation has never been wanted, and my son is going to marry a daughter-in-law. Looking for many days, I found this place is good! Hey hey! It seems that I got a big bargain! " Wang Laohan said proudly.
What do craftsmen know? They just thought the place was big, so they praised Wang Laohan a few words. The same is true of Wang Laohan, who will also say a few kind words.
The new house was built quickly. After being vacant for half a month, Wang Laohan and his wife first moved into the new house.
There used to be an unwritten rule that after the new house was built, the older generation had to live in it first. This is called "pressing the new house".
On the third night after Wang Laohan and his wife moved into the new house, Wang Laohan, who was sleeping, was woken up by his wife.
"Father, you listen to what seems to have happened outside! Get up and have a look! " The wife whispered.
Women are less courageous than men. In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise in the yard. How dare his wife get up and watch?
"Why don't you sleep and push me?" Wang Laohan asked impatiently.
"His father! There seems to be someone coming in the yard, listen! " His wife didn't dare to say anything, and whispered.
Although Wang Laohan was impatient, he straightened up and listened.
"Don't say, really have a voice. Don't move, I'll go out and have a look! " Wang Laohan said, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
He walked softly to the door and looked into the yard. This look, but let him confused.
Why?
Because the door of his house is closed at this time, there are two young children squatting in the middle of the yard!
The two of them turned their backs on Wang Laohan, who only saw their backs and didn't see their faces clearly.
Two young children reached out and dug a hole in the ground, as if there were some treasures buried under it.
Wang Laohan is courageous. When he saw this scene, he pushed open the door and shouted at the two young children: "Where did the children come from? What are you doing in my house at midnight? "
The two children suddenly disappeared before his eyes without turning around!
Wang Laohan's voice is full of confidence! However, I didn't scare the two young children. I was scared by my wife in bed!
"His father! What do you see? What are you yelling about? Scare me! " His wife's voice came from the room.
Wang Laohan rubbed his eyes and looked at the positions of the two children just now.
Empty!
"Strange! I clearly saw two children, how could this be gone? " Wang Laohan was surprised. He turned quickly and entered the house.
"See what?"
"Nothing! Go to sleep! I have to water the fields tomorrow! " Wang Laohan didn't tell him the truth for fear that his wife would be worried.
Coincidentally, on the third night, there was a strange sound in the yard. Wang Laohan was awakened by his wife. He put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
The wife was not at ease and secretly put on her clothes and followed her out. The two men looked up into the yard and saw two children squatting in the middle of the yard.
They dug hard and said strange things. When his wife saw it, she let out a cry, which startled Wang Laohan.
At the same time, her crying also disturbed two young children. As before, the two young children suddenly disappeared out of thin air before their eyes.
"His father! Why are there children in our yard? Our door is locked! Why did they disappear? " As he spoke, his wife gripped Wang Laohan's arm tightly.
"Where do I know? Let's go Go back to your room and sleep! I'm going to see the Taoist tomorrow! " Wang Laohan said that and dragged his wife back to the house.
Early the next morning, Wang Laohan went to Penglai Mountain to invite a Taoist priest. He had a hard time inviting a Taoist priest down the mountain.
When the Taoist priest came to Wang Laohan's house, he searched for a long time. Then the Taoist priest stood in the middle of the yard, with a duster in his hand, closed his eyes for a while and then turned to Wang Laohan and said, "Here is a well. I wonder if the benefactor knows? "
"The long rightly point out that! This is indeed a well abandoned for many years. " Wang Laohan quickly replied.
"Ha ha! Building a house on a well shouldn't have happened, not to mention there are two murders in this well. When you cover the wellhead, you cut off their roots. Can they forgive you?
Originality should not interfere with cause and effect. I advised benefactor not to live in this house. You can't offend them. Hurry up! Remember, you have to dig the wellhead again, and I will do a ceremony here to help them cross over, so that they will not haunt your family. "The Taoist priest murmured.
Wang Laohan was surprised. How did he know there was a ghost at the bottom of the well?
He quickly asked, "Who is under the well?"
"Two children, all girls. Parents prefer sons to daughters, so they pushed them into the well. For a hundred years, the resentment in their hearts is hard to disappear, so they refuse to be reincarnated! Hey! " The Taoist priest shook his head.
Wang Laohan was very unhappy. After a pause, he said to the Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, I can't live in this house, but please ask the Taoist priest to make a gift quickly and let her two sisters be reincarnated!" "
Hearing this, the Taoist priest nodded his head. Wang Laohan called his son and dug up the wellhead together. At the second watch, the Taoist priest deployed at the wellhead and began to practice.
After a while, two streams of smoke floated out of the well. A closer look reveals the delicate faces of two little girls in the smoke.
The two men cried at the Taoist priest and surrounded him, unwilling to leave. The Taoist priest sat in the array, gently waved a few dusts, and said, "You two are from your parents, so you can't blame others. Now that they are both dead, what can you and your sister do despite their grievances? Instead, it causes trouble to others and makes people spit on it! Being original will cross over for your two sisters tonight, so that you can be reborn into a good family. You two should go quickly! "
When the Taoist priest finished speaking, the two little girls looked at each other and immediately shed tears. They stopped to salute the Taoist priest, and then two wisps of smoke took off and floated to the west. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
The Taoist priest shook his head helplessly and said to Wang Laohan, "The matter at the bottom of the well has been solved. However, I still advise the benefactor that you should stop living in this house and build it somewhere else! " After hearing the news, Wang Laohan rushed over. After a moment of meditation, he nodded.
"Listen to long! This has at least eliminated the resentment of the two little girls, and it has been a long time! " When Wang Laohan finished, he bowed his hand to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest got up to leave, but Wang Laohan insisted on staying. However, the Taoist declined and left alone.
Wang Laohan did not dare to delay and regarded the house here as a firewood house. The wellhead is always open, and no one dares to hide.
Early the next morning, Wang Laohan bought some fish and went to Li Laowen's house to thank humbly.
Old Li Man smiled when he saw him. "You just won't listen! If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have wasted that money! " Wang Laohan was guilty and kept smiling.
At noon, the two men drank some wine together, and when they got home, Wang Laohan began to look for the foundation again.
He wants to realize his daughter-in-law's wish!
Not long after, with the help of Li Laoweng, Wang Laohan selected another foundation and rebuilt the new house there. Nothing strange happened in this new house.
The well is still there, and no one dares to move. As for where the two little girls went, perhaps only the Taoist priest knows.
