WARNING: A little murder scene ahead

“Village head, you didn't bluff us, did you? You said that the little girl turned into a ghost and came to you. How could that possible?”

Lǎo Zhang tóu and his three sons called to Lin Youde's house. Now it was still daytime. In addition to the lights on, Lin Youde's room had lit more than a dozen candles. Lin Youcai was s.h.i.+vering on the kàng with the quilt wrapped around him. Obviously, he hadn't come back.

“The little girl is not the only woman who has died on us in recent decades, ah, still…”

Lǎo Zhang tóu still wanted to go on, but after careful consideration, those women who died before were trying to kill themselves, and that woman was different. She was killed by Lin Youde when she was dragged onto the kàng by Lin Youde.

Was it that people who were killed more resentful?

Lǎo Zhang tóu was shaking, and some of them couldn't speak.

In his opinion, his family was completely innocent. She was a beautiful and vivid daughter-in-law. Maybe she was pregnant now after being confined. If Lin Youde didn't interfere with her, she would never have happened later.

At present, he couldn't sit still. He felt that the house of Lin jiā was too gloomy, not like a proper place. Looking back, the girl died in this room.

He vaguely looked at the small cabinet on the kàng of the Lin jiā and swallowed his saliva.

"Gē, she must have come to revenge. Gē, shall we go down the mountain?”

What Lin Youcai saw was true. The blood hole eyes were still circling in his mind. Dàgē didn't see the ghost with his own eyes, so he barely kept calm now, but he saw it with my own eyes. After that, he saw the female ghost reaching out to strangle his dàgē, but don't know why she left before he fought her.

Lin Youcai didn't want to die. Their life was more pitiful than ordinary people. He had money and a son, and he didn't want to lose his life because of some mistakes of his gē.

“What goes down the mountain? The drawbridge at the mountain top is broken. Our village is completely trapped in the mountains. We can only wait for the people at the bottom of the mountain to come up or for the signal tower to be repaired, and we call for help at the bottom of the mountain.”

Lin Youde's fierce-looking face became increasingly dreadful, and he dropped his fist heavily.

“Isn't she a ghost? Lǎozi can kill her when she's alive. She becomes a ghost, and lǎozi lets her soul flies away and scatters[1].”

Lin Youde's words made Lǎo Zhang tóu and his three sons look at each other, and they couldn't help but feel cold.

“Gē, how do you know that the drawbridge at the top of the mountain is broken? Did you go to see it last night?” Lin Youcai, wrapped in a thick quilt, suddenly realized something was wrong and asked his dàgē Lin Youde.

Lin Youde's ferocious face had a stagnant expression. He didn't know how to explain the problem. Could he say that he ran to the top of the mountain as soon as it was bright today and was ready to go down the mountain?

“Actually, Village head, do you think it's just the illusion of you two after drinking too much?”

Lǎo Zhang tóu's son, Dà Chun, could not help saying, “There is no ghost in the world. Besides, did Lin sǎozi and Dà Nīér hear any noise last night?”

“No, the four of them were eating in the kitchen. When I ran out of the kitchen, they said they just didn't hear anything.”

Lin Youde didn't think it was an illusion. He only drank two or three wines last night. How could that wine made him delirious, ah? Besides, the feeling of being pinched by nails on his neck last night was real.

“Village head, what do you think we should do?”

Lǎo Zhang tóu felt that his son's words were reasonable, and he didn't feel fl.u.s.tered immediately.

“Ghosts come out at night. You stay at my house tonight. I've prepared all the things that drive them away, such as black dog blood, c.o.c.ks...o...b.. and peach wood branch. That woman is a ghost, just a new ghost. She must be afraid of these things.”

Lin Youde put the things he collected in the daytime on the table, “We six men have a lot yáng qì[2]. Female ghosts not necessarily dare to come over.”

Lǎo Zhang tóu was timid. He dare not get involved in these things. Besides, he really thought that the girl's death had nothing to do with their family. He just wanted the girl to have some grandchildren for him and not her life. Lin Youde killed people with too much strength. If one wanted to pay for her life, she should go to him, ah.

“What? Unwilling?”

Lin Youde was holding a machete, and his face was quite serious. The threat he revealed didn't give Lǎo Zhang tóu and his three sons any chance to resist at all.

“Just… just… in the evening, Dad, I want to see my daughter-in-law… wife, give birth to children… children…”

Lǎo Zhang tóu's demented little son said with saliva to Lǎo Zhang tóu. Lǎo Zhang tóu was helpless toward this stupid son and sighed, agreed to Lin Youde's request.

That night, it was darker than usual, and it was still rainy. Lin Youde drove his wife and three daughters to his dìdì Lin Youcai's old house, which was basically uninhabitable.

It was not that he had a sincere heart for his wife and daughters. But it was just because the elder in the village said that women had a strong yīn qì[3] and were easy to be possessed by ghosts. Especially what they met was a female ghost. It was more difficult to deal with if they had a body, so he drove them away before dark.

The six big men ate a few steamed buns in the evening and sat on the kàng with backs to backs, staring at the doors and windows without blinking.

“What time is it, Village head? Isn't it true that your xiōngdì[4] scared himself when he drank too much wine that day?”

Lǎo Zhang tóu was old and couldn't sleep well, but he could still hold on. The trouble was that some of his sons, especially the stupid one with dementia, had gone to bed an hour ago.

“Impossible.”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, the window slammed open, and the candles in the room extinguished by the wind in an instant.

Lǎo Zhang tóu bristled with fear and took those peach wood branch soaked in black dog blood to protect his chest. He was upset why did he promise Lin Youde to stay before.

It was pretty strange. The window just bolted firmly, and they had checked it several times. What kind of wind could blow it open, ah?

“Don't come here!”

Lin Youcai was the first one to make a noise. He closed his eyes and waved the peach wood branch, slashed as if he saw something that he shouldn't have seen.

“Youcai, Youcai, what do you see and where?”

Lin Youde and Lǎo Zhang tóu were on their backs. They were trembling, looked at Lin Youcai, and asked.

“Ghost, the female ghost is coming.” Lin Youcai answered a sob, and he wanted to faint.

“Where? Where is the female ghost!”

Lǎo Zhang tóu was almost shouted out. The more unknown the fear was, the more frightening it was. He didn't see anything. If the female ghost was standing in front of him right now, wouldn't he be dead?

“Ah ah ah ah, don't come here. Lin Youde killed you. You should look for him to pay for your life, ah.”

The second one who went crazy was Lǎo Zhang tóu's eldest son. He waved the peach wood branch on his hands, and his eyes were almost bulging out. He rushed, and his face was obviously not very normal.

"Pūchī."[5]

He seemed to have the courage to hold up the peach wood branch and poked it hard on the side. Suddenly, blood splashed all over the place. And one of them is his third brother, that one who screamed little fool.

His peach wood branch shockingly inserted in the eyes of his dìdi Sanchun. It was very deep, and when he pulled it out, his brains came out.

"Sanchun!"

Lǎo Zhang tóu and his son Erchun exclaimed, unable to believe what they saw.

“Don't come to me. I'll kill you. I'll kill you.”

Zhang Dachun didn't realize who he was killing. In his eyes, the one with blood on his face was the female ghost. He was about to kill the ghost.

The strong branch stabbed Zhang Sanchun's face following his movements. In his eyes, he took up a piece of flesh and blood. Soon the face could not be seen.

Lao Zhang tóu wanted to pull apart his eldest son after he had lost his mind for the first time. He killed his dìdì, not the female ghost, ah.

"Ah ah ah——"

Before his hand touched this eldest son's arm, his second son beside him began to go crazy. He lifted the table on the kàng and hit Lao Zhang tóu's head directly.

Lao Zhang tóu's head spurted blood fiercely. He turned his head and looked at his second son incredulously. He opened his mouth, and pēng, Zhang Erchun brandished the table towards him again. His skull broken, and his eyes bulged, looking at his beloved son, didn't understand why he died in his hands.

“Youcai, calm down.”

Lin Youde noticed the situation of Zhang jiā. He understood that this might be the diversionary tactic that the female ghost gave them to kill each other.

He held his dìdì's hands tightly. Lin Youcai was thin and small. He was not his opponent at all. At the moment, he firmly controlled him and could not move.

“Hū——”[6] There was a cold air on his back. Lin Youde turned his head suddenly, and there was a flash of red and white shadow between them. He fought a cold war[7], and his hand strength was reduced. Lin Youcai broke away.

“Kill the female ghost, kill the female ghost.”

Lin Youcai was possessed, he waved the peach wood branch on his hand crazily. Lin Youde unprepared for a while, and the sharp branch cut a big cut in his hand.

The bright red color stimulated Zhang Dachun and Zhang Erchun on the side. They also didn't focus on the two corpses in front of them and rushed towards him with peach branches.

Lin Youde refrained from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases[8] at his dìdì, but not at Zhang Dachun and Zhang Erchun. At this time, his eyes were already red, and his mind extinguished by excessive panic.

He raised the big ax that he had been holding all the time. When Zhang Dachun waved the peach wood branch towards him, his hand lifted, the knife would fall[9], and then Zhang Dachun's arm fell directly to the ground.

With a scream, he finally got back to his senses, looked at the bodies of his father and xiǎodì, and Lin Youde, who was slas.h.i.+ng at him with an ax, he crawled towards the door in horror.

“Homicide, a homicide!” The door lock was locked. Zhang Dachun couldn't open the door. He clasped the door handle and wanted to call people nearby to stop Lin Youde's evil deeds.

At this time, the people in the house didn't know that most of the villagers had gathered outside the house for a long time. Shortly after the scream in the house, they arrived in twos and threes.

The strange thing was the doors and windows couldn't be smashed or knocked open.

They listened to the screams of Lin jiā's xiōngdì and Lǎo Zhang jiā's father and sons from time to time. They didn't know what was going on inside and very worried.

“What happened? I know that I'm here to bring new products. I'm here to meet you.”

In the dark, Lai San appeared in raincoats and flashlights. He took his five horses and tied a few young girls behind him and smiled at them.

He didn't want to go up the mountain in the heavy rain, but who asked Lin Youde to call him and said that there were five families in his village who wanted to buy a daughter-in-law this time, so he could round up the girls who had been abducted this time, so even if it was risky, he still came here.

It was unsafe to let go of five girls. Instead of staying at the foot of the mountain looking for buyers, he might as well go straight up the mountain.

At this time, the scream in the room had stopped. Lai San looked at the villagers surrounding Lin Youde's house, who looked strange. He also wondered whether the new goods he brought were not satisfying, and they rejected them?

As a matter of fact, they were quite pretty, they were not bad, ah.

Just when he wanted to ask, “zhī ya”, the originally closed door opened on its own. The room was full of blood and meat. On the ground and around the wall, a blood smell came.
吱呀 [zhī ya]: (onom.) creaking or groaning of the door

"Ǒu——"[10]

The ones who had weak resistance vomited directly. Everyone looked at Lin Youde, who was standing in the middle of the room with an ax in his hand and were frightened, ready to step back several steps.
