Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 211 - 209: Chu Renmei
Upon hearing this, everyone, whether it was Zhao Jinde and Ma standing beside Yang Qingshu or the sharp-mouthed man threatening with a crossbow opposite, was stunned.
Who’s singing?
Where the hell is there any singing?
You fat bastard, are you seeing things because you’re scared to death?
Just as the sharp-mouthed man was about to open his mouth and laugh, a mournful, piercing song suddenly reached everyone’s ears.
"The lover is joyous, the wife is heartbroken,
The moon knows my grievances,
Meeting is hard, parting is easy, ah,
An abandoned wife now regrets too late,
Do you remember, my pleasure on the phoenix day,
Do you also recall breaking love’s branch for another,
Do you feel for the old love now without a place to stay,
Do you remember a child with a mother but no father,
Oh husband!
Do you know my lingering illness has turned to consumption,
Not long, I’ll heartbreakingly die for you..."
This song entered their ears and instantly made everyone present shiver involuntarily.
"Commander Yang, is this your brother playing tricks?"
"I remember when you broadcast, he sang this damn thing..."
Thin Bamboo Pole felt cold wind on his back and urgently shouted his question. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Others also turned their eyes to Yang Qingshu, including Zhao Jinde and Ma.
They both indeed remembered hearing this song when Yang Qingshu’s brother sang it on the mountaintop.
Though some words were different, it indeed had the same chilling effect.
With everyone’s eyes gathered on him, Yang Qingshu laughed boldly, "Do you know who owns this tomb?"
"Don’t change the subject!"
"Quickly get your brother out here!"
"Otherwise, I’ll poke you full of holes!"
The sharp-mouthed man threatened fiercely.
Yang Qingshu was indifferent, talking to himself, "The owner of this tomb is named Bo Wantian, not someone rich or noble."
"He was just a rural teacher, teaching in poverty."
"Why is he buried here then?"
"This story is a bit long..."
At this point, Yang Qingshu paused briefly.
He turned to look at the grave not far away, smiling as he continued, "Bo Wantian married early, his wife was a famous Cantonese opera singer named Chu Renmei."
"Later, due to wartime chaos, the couple traveled a long distance to join relatives in Li Family Village."
"Li Family Village’s chief was Bo Wantian’s uncle, so the couple was easily accepted by the villagers."
"Though Li Family Village is remote and impoverished, it was away from the war and could be considered a utopia."
"But the good days didn’t last long. While out, Bo Wantian met a rich young lady."
"Although Bo Wantian wasn’t very capable, he was handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes."
"The rich young lady fell for him at first sight and soon got involved with him."
"But would a dignified rich young lady be willing to become someone’s concubine?"
"Therefore, Bo Wantian made a ruthless decision to divorce the wife who had shared weal and woe with him for many years..."
Seeing the confused looks around, Yang Qingshu continued, "Chu Renmei didn’t want to be divorced by her husband; she went to Bo Wantian’s uncle, the village chief of Li Family Village."
"Village Chief Li was a kind elder, and upon learning of his nephew’s intention to divorce his wife, he immediately scolded him."
"Bo Wantian was reproached harshly, deeply annoyed, but fearing his uncle’s authority, he temporarily suppressed the idea of divorce."
"Chu Renmei thought her husband had changed his mind and treated him even better."
"But with a wealthy, affluent life within reach, how could Bo Wantian give it up?"
"Thinking it over, an idea suddenly came to him..."
"Bo Wantian’s method was simple but effective."
"First, he paid someone to act as his creditor."
"Then, he told Chu Renmei he was in huge debt and couldn’t repay it, asking her to use her body to settle the debt."
"Out of love for her husband, Chu Renmei agreed to this request."
"But when the creditor came to Chu Renmei’s home, they were caught by Bo Wantian leading a group of villagers."
"The creditor changed his tune and admitted to having an affair with Chu Renmei, leaving her speechless."
"The villagers were all in the dark, and in anger, they beat Chu Renmei to death!"
The sharp-mouthed men and others were at a loss.
The hell have I asked you that you’re babbling so much?
Why so much nonsense before dying?
"Damn it! Get your brother out right now!"
The sharp-mouthed man signaled the two Door Gods.
They immediately stepped forward, placing knives against Yang Qingshu’s neck.
They didn’t understand Yang Qingshu.
They thought his earlier words were just info he got somewhere, intentionally stalling for time.
But Zhao Jinde and Ma were different!
Before, when everyone reached this big tomb, it was Zhao Jinde who initiated the explanation.
Yang Qingshu didn’t show the slightest interest then.
But now, how did Yang Qingshu suddenly know so much?
Don’t say he found it online.
Li Family Village has little online information, and there’s not a single photo of this big tomb.
No photos, no verification; who could know the story behind this big tomb?
Thinking of this, they exchanged glances, their hair standing on end.
This "Yang Qingshu" definitely has something eerie about him!
On the other side, even with a knife to his neck, Yang Qingshu still wore a smile.
He spoke to himself again, "The story isn’t over yet..."
"After Chu Renmei’s death, her body was thrown in the wilderness, and Bo Wantian joyfully married the rich young lady."
"Everyone thought the matter was settled, but no one expected..."
"On the seventh day, the night of returning souls, Chu Renmei returned to Li Family Village once more!"
"That night, including Bo Wantian, 66 lives were lost."
"The village chief was shocked and quickly invited a respected Feng Shui Master."
"After examining the bodies, the master concluded it was an evil ghost claiming lives!"
"With no choice, the village chief recounted Chu Renmei’s ordeal."
"The Feng Shui Master didn’t want to meddle in this, but with many innocent villagers, young and old, he thought of a solution."
"His plan was to have Chu Renmei and Bo Wantian buried in the Li ancestors’ official tomb."
"One purpose was to resolve the evil ghost’s resentment; another was to let the ancestral spirits suppress it."
"Moreover, the Li family had to remain in the village to aid the spirits in subduing Chu Renmei’s wrongful ghost..."
After finishing the story, Yang Qingshu licked his dry lips.
He sighed softly, "Aunt Mei’s favorite Cantonese opera was ’Selling Meat for an Orphan.’"
"Listen, she’s singing it again now..."
