Chapter 55 Dissolute Female Ghost (2/2)

The next morning, Feng Chunsheng and I rode the tram to the library.

In the top corner of the library, there were hundreds of family journals, which were organized by city maps which represented where the families lived.

We found the family journal according to the location of the Dragon Villa.

The family name of the woman was Han.

I turned over the family journal. The woman should be called Han Zaishi.

Zaishi means ‘indoors woman’.

Her father wanted her to be in her boudoir, according to the superstitious logic at that time, which considered lack of talent in a woman as a virtue.

But Han Zaishi was obviously not a good woman. She liked fornicating with other men.

Not to mention that superstitious logic, even now she would be called a slut.

Because the men who fornicated with her were mostly married.

According to the family journal, she fornicated with seven or eight men one day. Of course, this was just what the maid said.

She was a standard slut, a disgrace to the family.

Whenever she was mentioned in the family journal, it was in few words.

However, a slut also had a day to change.

Unexpectedly, at the age of twenty-one, she changed her ways.

She fell in love with a person, an elegant man.

The man was a teacher in the town.

Teachers held a high position at the time. Before 1949, although literate people were poor, they were very well-respected.

The man was called Bai Mu.

Bai Mu took her to town to play, where she spent all her money.

She was willing to stay with Bai Mu. This was also what the maid said.

Unfortunately, Bai Mu was an ungrateful person. When she had the wedding soon after, he cheated Han Zaishi, and made her steal the title deed.

Then Bai Mu sold the title deed, exchanged the money into silver dollars and left Minnan.

At the time, the Han family was well-connected, and reached an agreement with the man who bought the deed, managing to keep half of their property.

From the age of sixteen twenty-one years old, because of her bohemian lifestyle, she brought shame to the family. When she was twenty-one years old, because of her infatuation, she caused the family property to be cut in half.

She became thoroughly crazy.

She fornicated with men everywhere for five years.

She died in bed. Before she died, she wrote a suicide note. On the suicide note she wrote that when she died, she would wear the costume robe of the Tang Dynasty that Bai Mu had sent her.

Of course, the costume robe was trimmed.

Originally she was ready to wear it in the wedding, unfortunately...

I read the family journal, and looked at Feng Chunsheng.

He said: “No wonder... No wonder the female ghost was a bit sultry. This woman was hurt too deeply by her lover. There’s too much resentment.”

”Is there a trick?” I asked him.

He said, ”There is a trick. You have to use a Ghost Tattoo.”

Yin and Yang Tattoos were divided into Yin Tattoos, Yang Tattoos, and Ghost Tattoos.

But the Ghost Tattoo thing… very few people knew about it. How did he know?

I looked at him suspiciously.

He seemed to perceive something, and asked me what had happened.

I said, “How do you know me so well? How do you know about Ghost Tattoos?”

”Sure. Once, Yin and Yang Tattoos were well-known; very famous in the ghost business.” He angrily changed the topic, ”Alas! I ask you, a Ghost Tattoo - can you do that?”

”Of course I can.” I stared at him, ”However, if I want to do a Ghost Tattoo, I must first have a powerful soul.”

”Then call Liu the Sixth and ask if he has a powerful soul.” He was a little angry.

I was slow to take the phone. In fact, I quite pitied that female ghost. Through her story, she was hateful, then lovely, and finally pitiful. She was not so evil.

If I did a Ghost Tattoo, she would die.

”Forget it. In these many years, she killed many people. She is pitiful, but after death I cannot pity her.” I hardened my heart and phoned Liu the Sixth.

”Hello? Shui, wanna buy goods?” Liu the Sixth asked me.

I said, ”Mr. Six, do you have a powerful soul?”

”Really not bragging, but this powerful soul thing - other than me, no one has it,” he said with a smile.
