Chapter 24： The past of resentful ghosts

Chapter 24 The Past of the Resentful Ghost

Zhou Ying clicked on the live replay of [Qingzhu Immortal Lord].

Ten minutes later, the group of people began to look pale and sweat profusely. Tang Shishi, who had been shouting in disbelief, could hardly stand still.

Twenty minutes later, Song Jiaqi turned off Zhou Ying's phone with trembling hands and swallowed:

“Let’s go… let’s go.”

When you arrive, you are full of enthusiasm and energy, but when you leave, you are confused and embarrassed.

At this moment, I looked back at the alley behind me. It was gloomy, like the open mouth of a resentful ghost, as if it was going to swallow them up in the next second.

Disbanding the adventure club has been put on their agenda.

In the courtyard No. 144 at the end of the alley, Pei Anzhu was already chatting with the resentful ghost in red.

She was sitting on the stone steps at the door, still holding the branch in her hand:

“Tell me your story.”

The resentful ghost in red didn't dare to resist. He squatted not far away but two meters away from Pei Anzhu. He was shy, timid and well-behaved, but he didn't look as arrogant as before.

She pursed her lips, cleared her thoughts, and said:

“My name is Qiulian, and she was an actress a hundred years ago…”

Qiulian is an orphan.

She had no father or mother, and was sold to a wealthy family as a maid to survive.

Later, when the war broke out, the employer moved his family and did not need so many servants, so he fired Qiulian and stayed in Pingcheng.

This year, Qiulian was eighteen years old.

The war was raging and the world was in chaos. Just when Qiulian felt that she was about to die, she met the "Hongyue Troupe", a very famous theater troupe at the time, and was accepted as an apprentice by the troupe leader Hongyue.

The leader of Red Moon is a good person. He took in many orphans who were displaced during the war, took care of them, cultivated them, and provided them with shelter.

In this way, Qiulian settled down in Hongyue Class.

She learned to sing every day, made tea and water for her master, helped her brothers and sisters organize their makeup, and occasionally sang a small role on stage. She lived a relatively stable life.

Until one day, she met a young man named He Huaimin.

He Huaimin is gentle and handsome, handsome and rich in gold. I heard that he returned from studying abroad. He is both knowledgeable and literary. He is described as a gentle and elegant young man, and a handsome young man.

What’s even more rare is that he is also an avid opera lover.

Since returning to China, I have basically come to watch the performances of the Red Moon Class every day.

For some reason, he fell in love with Qiulian.

According to his own words, he fell in love with Qiulian at first sight, and then used various romantic means to pursue her, including sending flowers and jewelry, buying clothes and perfume.

He made Qiulian feel the feeling of being held in someone's hand and loved.

So Qiulian fell.

She begged Hongyue to let her leave, and ignored Hongyue's warnings and warnings, and left with He Huaimin, thinking that she could live a good life as a husband and a child.

I didn’t expect that…

"He Huaimin only provokes me because I look like his father's third concubine." Qiulian mentioned this matter, and her resentment became more intense. "My appearance is very similar to that of my third concubine. If you add the clothes, it will be very similar."

He Huaimin and his father's third concubine were originally a pair of devoted lovers.

As it turned out, while He Huaimin was studying abroad, his father fell in love with the girl, and with the help of family power, he took her away and married her into a third concubine.

When He Huaimin came back, he discovered that his former lover had become his baby mother.

He was both painful and unwilling. Due to family rules and ethics, he struggled to endure his feelings. However, the more he tolerated his feelings, the deeper they became.

Finally one day, he and his third concubine broke through the restricted area, tasted the forbidden fruit, and did the dirty work. After this incident, He Huaimin desperately wanted to stay with his third concubine for the rest of his life.

Just when they were trying their best to be together, He Huaimin met Qiu Lian, who looked similar to his third aunt, in the theater troupe, and a bold idea came to him -

He pretended to pursue Qiulian, making Qiulian devoted to him.

He lied that he wanted to marry Qiulian, but also said that his father would not allow him to marry an actor, so he placed Qiulian alone in a house outside.

From then on, he trained Qiulian to be the third concubine.

Qiu Lian likes blue clothes and elegant makeup, but he praised Qiu Lian for looking good in a water-red cheongsam and bright red rouge.

So Qiulian dressed in colorful clothes and put on heavy makeup in order to make him happy.

As time went by, Qiu Lian became more and more similar to the third aunt. Whether it was their faces or their clothes, if you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference at all.

When the time was right, He Huaimin asked his third concubine to poison his father's tea.

Immediately afterwards, a trick came to change the situation.

Qiu Lian was regarded as the third concubine who murdered the family head. She was arrested by the police station, sentenced to hanging, and executed in public at Caishikou.

But the third concubine suddenly transformed into Qiulian, the actor who was raised by He Huaimin outside.

They even used the excuse that their father was dead and did not want to stay in this sad place anymore. They sold their property, raised money, left Pingcheng, and went to other places to stay and fly together.

Only an empty house and an innocent scapegoat were left.

After Qiulian's death, her resentment was hard to dissipate and her soul remained.

In addition, it was a time of war, and countless people died every day. The underworld was simply too busy, and Black and White Impermanence also made some omissions, allowing Qiu Lian to take advantage of it.

She hid in the old house of the He family and has been lurking, intending to take revenge.

That house is now No. 144, Longkang 2nd Road.

At the beginning, Qiulian's ghost was still very weak.

With no one to offer her incense and paper, she had to go out to find food and compete with thousands of dead souls outside to barely maintain her human form.

Later, she accidentally swallowed an imp during the fight.

Qiu Lian was transformed by the resentment of an innocent and wasted death, and she had a deep obsession in her heart. She was originally stronger than ordinary ghosts, but she had never discovered her potential before.

After swallowing the imp by mistake, she found that her strength had increased and her soul became more solid.

She found a way to become stronger and began to devour other ghosts.

Later, the war ended, there were not so many ghosts, and order was restored in the underworld. Many of the dead were directly taken away by the ghosts, and she lost her food source.

So, she thought about starting to attack living people.

At this time, the descendants of He Huaimin came back with their wives and children.

After He Huaimin and his third concubine left Pingcheng, they lived a carefree life incognito in other places. Later, they gave birth to a son named He Nianqi.

The reason why I chose this name is because the third concubine’s name has the word "Qi" in it.

The three characters "He Nianqi" represent the magnificent, twists and turns, but unswerving love between He Huaimin and his third concubine.

But they forget that there is an innocent person in their love from beginning to end.

Twenty years ago, He Nianqi was 78 years old.

He took his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and grandson-in-law back to Pingcheng, hoping to return to his roots here and return to his hometown.

And this was the beginning of the mysterious deaths of the family of five.
