It is said that there was a woman named Mary who knew some medical skills and often treated nearby villagers and some livestock. Before the "witch hunts" began in Europe, she was very respected in several nearby villages.

But when the "witch hunt" began, everything changed, and the villagers who had received her help began to accuse Mary of being a witch, the mistress of the devil, and that she was the one who brought the Black Death to the world to torture the world, so only by killing her would the local Black Death stop spreading.

The ignorant villagers abused Mary in all sorts of ways, as if anyone who wasn't cruel enough to her would be taken as her accomplice!? They had long forgotten who had saved their lives......

In the end, Mary was hanged by the villagers from a large tree near her house, and her body was hung for months without anyone daring to collect her body, until it was finally lowered from the tree.

While the people were celebrating their bravery in killing a witch, the nightmare had just begun...... First of all, the villagers who had been treated by Mary disappeared one after another, and people searched all the neighborhood, but they were nowhere to be found.

Later, it was suggested that the area of Mary's house had not been found. So the families of the missing villagers took the courage to search for Mary's house, and they soon found the bodies of the missing villagers in the small lake behind Mary's house.

It is said that the death of these villagers was so horrific that even the lake was dyed red with blood. Then those who had been to Mary's house began to have high fevers and dark spots on their skin.

Soon rumors began to spread that Mary's ghost had returned for revenge, and that she was going to take all the villagers who had killed her, and let them go to the lake to use their own blood to cleanse them of their sins.

Since then, no one has dared to go near Mary's house, but even so, the plague has not stopped spreading, until almost all the people in the nearby villages have died, and it seems that the anger in the witch Mary's heart has been appeased.

Since then, this legend has been used by adults to scare disobedient children, and although the story has eventually been passed down into several versions, the general framework is basically the same, and it is the story of the witch Mary's revenge.

After listening to Martin's story, I drew two similarities from it, one is that Mary ends up hanging herself from a tree, and the other is that all sinners have to go to the lake to wash away their sins.

These two points are basically the same as here, is this the land that Mary cursed? If so, then we are in trouble with an angry witch from hundreds of years ago.

Although I can't say whether there were really witches in Europe back then, it is definitely a bit unjust to blame them for the "plague". But no matter how you say it, this was all hundreds of years ago, even if there is a deep grievance, it should be dispersed, right?!

Then I asked my cousin softly, "How is it? Are you sure you can deal with this ghost witch?"

When my cousin heard this, he shook his head and said, "Enough...... Seeing that there are animal corpses everywhere, it shows that the female ghost's resentment is very heavy. And if you look at these skeletons, do you see that they all have no heads?"

After hearing this, I looked at the bones of cattle and sheep around me, not to mention, these corpses really didn't have any heads on them, so I said with some confusion, "Could it be that this Mary likes to eat the heads of livestock?"

Uncle Cousin thought for a moment and said, "It may have something to do with some kind of curse......

"Let's go out first, the yin qi here is getting heavier and heavier, if we don't leave, I'm afraid we will be trapped here." Ding Yi interjected at this time.

When my cousin heard this, he pinched his fingers and said, "I'm afraid it's too late......"

Then Martin looked at the blood-colored sun in the sky and said, "It was the same yesterday, but we didn't see these animal bones on the ground yesterday......"

"That's because the holy lake behind it hasn't been stained red with human blood,...... said the cousin faintly.

When I heard this, I said to a few of them, "Let's go, whether you can get out or not, stay away from the blood lake first......

Then we walked in the direction of the exit of the farm, and as we passed by the old couple's house, we saw a woman covered in blood hanging from a tree on the opposite side of the house.

"Mary......" Martin said in a trembling voice.

I said to him, "Don't scare yourself, maybe she's not Mary?"

Martin smiled wryly and said, "Even if she wasn't Mary, she shouldn't be much better......

I think so, Mary or not is certainly not alive! and apparently she is much stronger than she was yesterday...... It seems that those hapless policemen have become her supplies, and if she continues like this, I am afraid that she will become more and more difficult to deal with.

Although a few of us were shocked when we saw the woman in the tree, we didn't stop and kept walking towards the exit of the farm. I don't know if it's because of the red sun, although our location is less than a kilometer away from the exit, but we can't see the low wooden door at the exit.

"Why didn't I see the low wooden door that came in?" said Lao Zhao with some doubts.

When I heard this, I wanted to see the traces of the car driving in yesterday, but when I looked at it, I realized that the snow on the ground had melted a long time ago! But even so, the general direction would not be wrong! As we walked, we found that the distance was much longer than we had imagined, and it seemed that we could not walk any way......

At this time, I heard my cousin suddenly say in a deep voice, "Don't go, you look back ......"

When a few of us heard this, we looked back and immediately saw that we were still near the house...... If we hadn't really walked forward for more than ten minutes just now, we would have thought that we had been standing still all this time?!

"Is this a ghost hitting the wall?" I said, surprised.

Uncle Cousin shook his head and said, "It's a lot more trouble than that, it's a curse...... If we can survive tonight, maybe we'll be able to get out. ”

The thought of staying in this place for the night made me sweat all over my body...... So a hundred of them said unwillingly, "Uncle Cousin, don't we have any other good way? What about those spirit runes on your body? Is there anything that can break the curse?"

When my cousin heard this, he said to me regretfully, "This is the ghost of the West, and my things are all against the ghost of the East, if they really want to say it, I think they must be afraid of crosses and holy weapons, right?"
