Chapter 160 Ghosts fighting for a substitute

Once upon a time, there was a man named Wang Er in Kuaiji County (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province). He was a master tailor and made a living by sewing clothes for others and earning some craft fees.

Once, Wang Er took some sewn women's dresses and sent them to the owner.

At night, while passing by Hou Mountain (a famous mountain in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. It was originally called Quting Mountain, also known as Dog Mountain. Later it was called Hou Mountain based on the homophony of the local dialect. It is an outstanding representative of Shaoxing stone culture.), Wang Er suddenly saw the foot of the mountain. Two people jumped out of the lake, both naked and with dark faces. They grabbed Wang Er and dragged him into the river.

Wang Er was so frightened that he knew that those two people were not people. They were probably drowned ghosts who fell into the river and drowned.

However, his strength alone was not as strong as that of two drowned ghosts, so he could only be pulled for several steps involuntarily.

At this moment, a man suddenly flew down from the pine trees on the top of the mountain.

I saw him, his long eyebrows drooping downward, his red tongue sticking out of his mouth, and holding a thick rope in his hand. When he came up, he put it around Wang Er's waist and wanted to pull him up the mountain.

The two drowned ghosts who were dragging Wang Er into the lake were of course unwilling to do so. Therefore, a fierce quarrel broke out between them.

The drowned ghost said: "I saw Wang Er first. I want to turn him into my substitute. What reason do you have to come and snatch him?"

The hanged ghost holding the rope said: "Wang Er is a master of garment making. You drowned ghosts are naked in the water and have no clothes to wear. What's the use of pulling him over? Why don't you leave it to me?"

Wang Er was originally frightened half to death and was completely groggy, letting the two of them push and pull.

At this time, after hearing the loud quarrel between the two parties, my mind became slightly clearer, and I thought to myself: "It seems that I will definitely die today! But if these prepared clothes are lost and the master finds them at home, I will If we have no way or ability to compensate, won’t that hurt our family?”

So, he hung the clothes in his hands on the tree beside him, hoping that when his family came to look for him, he would take these clothes back and give them to the owner.

It’s also Wang Er’s life that shouldn’t be cut off!

Just at this time, Wang Er's uncle came back from other places and passed by this road.

Under the moonlight, he saw red and green women's dresses on the trees by the roadside, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Because when he went out, his nephew Wang Er was also about to go out, and he seemed to be holding such clothes. I also asked Wang Er where he wanted to deliver the goods.

This is what Wang Er said.

Now the clothes are hanging on the tree, but the person is nowhere to be seen. What is going on?

So, Wang Er's uncle walked over to check.

The three ghosts who were arguing endlessly dispersed when they saw someone coming.

Wang Er's uncle walked to the tree where clothes were hung and saw Wang Er lying on the ground with clay stuffed in his mouth and ears.

The uncle quickly helped Wang Er up and helped him clean all the mud from his mouth and ears.

Wang Er woke up, but still had lingering fears!

The uncle asked him what was going on.

Wang Er told his uncle everything about the ghosts he had just met vying for him to be the scapegoat.

When the uncle heard this, he was shocked and quickly helped Wang Er go home.

Wang was very lucky that his uncle happened to pass by and saved his life!
