Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Chapter 123 Wu Sheng commits suicide

In May of the [-]th year of Qianlong's reign, Lu Shichang, the magistrate of Feng County (now a county under Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), hired many literati as clerks in order to compile the county annals.

Lu Shichang arranged for these people to live in the same building.

These people all come from different places, including a Mr. Wu from Suzhou.

One day, Wu Sheng suddenly dressed up, bowed to his colleagues and said, "I am going to die soon, so I want to say goodbye to you all! What happens after this will trouble everyone!"

Colleagues were baffled and asked him why he said such a thing.

Wu Sheng looked solemn and said something to everyone in a sad tone.

That was when Wu Sheng was invited to come to Feng County from Suzhou. When passing through Pei County (now part of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), he met a woman who stopped Wu Sheng's carriage, saying that he really couldn't leave. She moved and asked Wu Sheng to give her a lift.

Wu Sheng didn't want to ride in the same car with her as a male and female, so he made an excuse and refused her by saying that his car was too small to fit in.

Unexpectedly, the woman followed Wu Sheng's carriage for more than twenty miles.

Wu Sheng was secretly surprised: Didn't this woman say that she was too tired to walk? How could you still follow the carriage so far?

Wu Sheng told his coachman this, but the coachman said he could not see any woman.

Wu Sheng finally realized that the woman must be a ghost!

Just like that, we walked a while again. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wu Sheng ordered the coachman to stop and rest when he saw an inn.

The woman suddenly disappeared.

In the evening, Wu Sheng stayed at the hotel. When it was late at night, the woman appeared again!

She sat on Wu Sheng's bed and said to him: "Sir and I are both twenty-nine years old, and now we meet by chance on the road, it means that we are destined to become husband and wife!"

Wu Sheng knew that she was a ghost. When he heard her say such words, he was immediately frightened. He picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at her.

The woman disappeared with the noise, and her figure was never seen again.

However, although she could not be seen, her voice sounded in Wu Sheng's ears from time to time, speaking softly and in a low voice, begging to marry him. He also called Wu Sheng "the writer" in a cooing voice.

In this way, even when they arrived in Feng County, where many people lived together, the woman still came over and kept harassing her, making a loud noise, which made Wu Sheng very irritable and uneasy.

Wu Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked her: "What do you want? Tell me, what kind of reward do you want to get before you are willing to leave?"

The woman said: "If you give me two hundred coins and put it on the floor, I will stop disturbing you and leave on my own?"

Wu Sheng quickly followed her instructions.

But when I looked this morning, the money was still there!

Wu Sheng continued with his colleagues with a worried face: "That woman didn't take the money, she will definitely continue to pester me! I will definitely die in her hands! Tell me, is there any other good way to get rid of her? Woolen cloth?"

None of the colleagues could think of any solution. They could only comfort Wu Sheng with kind words and sent two book boys to accompany him.

A few days later, everyone had finished breakfast and was busy downstairs when they suddenly heard shouting from upstairs.

Everyone didn't know what happened, so they all hurried upstairs.

When he went up to take a look, he saw that Wu Sheng had fallen to the ground. A hole was poked out of the right side of the abdomen with a knife, and the intestines were also torn, and a lot of them flowed out from the hole. The esophagus at the throat was also cut with a knife.

Everyone was shocked and rushed forward to help him up.

What makes everyone feel strange is that Wu Shengdu has been injured like this, but he doesn't feel any pain at all.

Lu Shichang also arrived at this time. When he stepped forward to visit, Wu Sheng raised his hand to ask him to come closer, and gestured with his hand to write the word "injustice".

Lu Shichang asked him: "What grievances do you have?"

Wu Sheng sighed and said: "We are happy to be enemies!"

Under Magistrate Lu's questioning, he told what had just happened.

This morning, the woman came to see Wu Sheng again. This time, she directly forced Wu Sheng to seek death. He said that only in this way would it be convenient for them to be husband and wife.

Wu Sheng asked her: "How should I die?"

The woman pointed at the knife on the table and said to him, "Use this!"

Wu Sheng followed her instructions, went to the table, took a knife, and stabbed himself on the right side of his abdomen. He immediately felt unbearable pain.

The woman hurriedly stepped forward, massaging his wound with her hands, and said, "It's useless! You're not a little girl, why did you have a caesarean section?!"

Strangely enough, the pain gradually disappeared from the areas she massaged.

Wu Sheng asked again: "If this doesn't work, what should we do?"

The woman touched her neck with her hand, and while making a gesture of committing suicide, she said: "You can be like me!"

So Wu Sheng picked up the knife again and cut off the left side of his throat.

The woman was so anxious that she stamped her feet and said, "It's useless! You can't die even if you die, it will only increase your pain!"

After saying that, he helped Wu Sheng massage the wound on his neck with his hands. Slowly, Wu Sheng no longer felt the pain.

Then, the woman pointed at the right side of Wu Sheng's throat and said, "It would be best if you cut here!"

Wu Sheng said feebly: "My hands are soft and I no longer have the strength to hold the knife. Come and help me cut."

When the woman heard this, she shook her head with her hair disheveled, took the knife from Wu Sheng's hand, stepped forward, and swung the knife to cut the right side of Wu Sheng's neck.

Wu Sheng was so frightened that he closed his eyes and yelled involuntarily.

At this moment, everyone downstairs heard the shouting and rushed upstairs.

When the woman heard someone coming on the stairs, she dropped the knife and ran away! "

After listening to Wu Sheng's story, Lu Shichang felt very incredible! In this vast world, how could a ghost appear?

However, the top priority is to save lives and heal the wounded.

Magistrate Lu invited a doctor to treat Wu Sheng's injuries.

The doctor first stuffed his intestines back into his stomach, and then connected the esophagus in his neck.

At the beginning, although the doctors stitched up Wu Sheng's wounds, he was still unable to eat normally.

Later, at the request of Magistrate Lu, the doctor patiently gave him medicine and treatment and took good care of him.

Slowly, Wu Sheng recovered from his injuries and everything returned to normal.

The woman never came back to him.

Moreover, after all this trouble, Wu Sheng stayed healthy throughout his life, rarely getting sick, and lived until he was over eighty years old before dying without any illness!
