On Friday, Li Qinghong received a call from Xinhua Law Firm. Attorney Li Jia Chengzhong said on the phone that Hong Yu’s aunt had passed away and Hong Yu was mentioned in the will, so Hong Yu and her husband Li Qinghong need to go to the law firm on Sunday to collect the inheritance.
Li Qinghong returned home and sighed to Hong Yu: “Oh, that old lady will leave you a legacy? She was not very happy when we got married. I thought she would never I will recognize you again.”
My aunt does not like Li Qinghong very much. I remember that when they got married, Li Qinghong and Hong Yu had to toast their elders one by one. When the respect came to my aunt, the old lady rolled her eyes and curled her mouth, and she refused to accept the cup in Li Qinghong’s hand, making it very embarrassing.
At 10 o’clock on Sunday morning, Li Qinghong and Hong Yu came to Xinhua Law Firm.
A chubby middle-aged man with glasses smiled and greeted him: “Miss Hong Yu, right? I am Jia Chengzhong. Since you are here, let’s start.”
After reading the will, Hong Yu was a little dazed. She did not expect that her aunt, who lived in an ancient house in the country all her life, would have millions of jewels worth of her aunt who never wanted to go out. My aunt left these jewels to her. “You don’t know yet, your aunt’s ancestor opened a bank, these are her ancestral treasures.” Lawyer Jia seemed to see through Hong Yu’s heart. He walked to the corner and took out an exquisite jewelry box from a cardboard box. “Also, it is specifically stated in the will that you are required to put this jewelry box in the house. Otherwise, you will lose your inheritance right.”
“What, put a jewelry box?” Hong Yu asked incredulously.
The jewelry box is polished bronze, as smooth as water. The lid of the box was inlaid with gems, which was very delicate and beautiful. Hong Yu put the jewelry box in the living room.

Something strange happened gradually…
One day, Hong Yu woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. The moonlight that night was very bright, Hong Yu faintly heard crying when he passed the living room. In the silent night, the voice seemed particularly sad and crippling. It was the cry of a woman, thin, as if hiding infinite misery.
Hong Yu’s hairs stood up all at once, and she suddenly realized that the cry came from the jewelry box. She walked over tremblingly and gently opened the jewelry box, just to see the moonlight shining in the box, and the box was like a big wave rolling in the river. She didn’t dare to look again, and ran back to the bedroom with her legs. Seeing her husband slept soundly, she thought, maybe it was a sleepy sleep, a dream or hallucination, but the cold sweat on her body still made Hong Yu push her husband to wake up.
Li Qinghong looked at her and couldn’t help but smile: “How come you are so scared!” Ghost story of the uncle.
Hong Yu paled, “Have you heard? In the living roomThere is a woman crying! “
“No way. “Li Qinghong said suspiciously, “I even heard the worms downstairs, how can any woman cry!” You must have hallucinations. “
Hong Yu calmed down, shook her head and thought, maybe she really heard it wrong. She stroked her husband’s chest, and gradually fell asleep again.

Another weekend arrived. Li Qinghong went to his unit, the Institute of Biology, early in the morning. He is currently conquering a project and often goes to the unit to work overtime. After Hong Yu cleaned up, Lying on the sofa trying to rest for a while, but fell asleep without knowing it.
Something seemed to haunt her in her dream…like, it was the cry of a woman again.
Hong Yu suddenly woke up. It was dusk, and the orange sunset slowly sank, giving everything in the house a layer of scarlet color. The jewelry box stood quietly There, the setting sun on the lid of the box was flowing, so weird.
There was a faint cry of crying in the box. A woman was crying miserably, and The difference was that there was a vaguely murmur in the crying: “Oh, my son… they threw you into the river… It’s because of my mother’s fault and didn’t protect you… Those men are all beasts…beasts…I will not let them go when I become a ghost! My son, I have pity for you to be born, and you are dead…”
Suddenly, the woman’s voice rose louder: “I want you to pay my son’s life! “
Hong Yu let out a scream of “Ah”, she rushed forward, picked up the jewelry box and rushed out of the gate. She was going to throw this thing away. The older generations said that there are generally antiquities. With the spirit attached, she laughed before. Now she believes it completely! Li Qinghong just came back and stopped her when she saw it, “What are you doing!” “
“Can’t you hear the cry?” “Hong Yu cried like crazy.
But her husband frowned, “Enough, don’t mess around!” There is no sound in the room! “He snatched the box, “Don’t forget that this is a condition for receiving the inheritance. If you lose it, you lose millions!” “
Hong Yu lost sleep. Whenever she calmed down, she would hear women and babies crying.
