Next Chapter

Night.

The faint candlelight brings a hint of light to the dark room. The dilapidated rooms did not stop the erosion of the wind.

The candlelight tenaciously illuminates in the cold wind of the night, bringing a glimmer of light to the night and a touch of warmth to this cold room.

In the middle of the room, a thin woman, dressed in a brown coarse cloth garment with numerous patches, stood on a log bench with two thick hemp ropes hanging from the beams above her head. The woman's palm-sized little face had two lines of tears on her face, and she sobbed quietly while tying the hemp rope.

The woman looked ahead with a look of despair on her face.

Suddenly, a hint of determination flashed in her godless eyes. She tugged at the hemp rope she had tied and slowly lowered her neck. The eyes slowly closed, and tears slid down the corners of the eyes and down the cheeks.

Since no one believed in her innocence, she proved it by death.

The woman seemed to have made up her mind, and with a slight kick at her feet, the wooden stool fell to one side, and her body without the support of the stool was completely silent after a struggle.

The night continued, and two sneaky men suddenly broke into the messy courtyard outside.

"Daquan, we won't be discovered, will we?" One of the men asked timidly.

Zhang Dazhong couldn't help but think of Zhang Xiaohua's seductive figure in his mind, and he was a little nervous in his heart.

"You're right, but we'd better be careful, if outsiders know about this, we won't have a good time." Zhang Dazhong said.

Li Daquan saw that Zhang Dazhong had no worries, and smiled in his heart. On the surface, he was extremely cooperative with Zhang Dazhong, "Don't worry! Hurry up, it's time to get ahead if you don't act again. ”

The two crept open the door to the most dilapidated room, and before they could enter, the sight before them made them forget to hide their whereabouts. The two of them shouted in unison.

"Ah......h

One after another screams of terror rang out throughout the village.

The lights of the nearby courtyards were lit up one by one, and the men of the neighborhood, some with knives and some with torches, rushed over immediately.

When everyone arrived, the owners of the house, Lan Cuimei and Zhang Zongren, walked out of the house with sleepy eyes.

"What happened?"

The husband and wife walked out of the room and looked at the people who hurried over suspiciously.

"Lao Zhang, we should ask you this! Everyone came here when they heard the movement from your side of the house. What the hell is going on? Was it a thief? One of the middle-aged uncles holding torches asked anxiously and hurriedly.

Just when Zhang Zongren and Lan Cuimei looked at each other with puzzled expressions, there was movement in the direction of the pigsty.

I saw Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong yelling, and ran out with a roll, "Hell... Hell! ”

"What happened?" Several older men quickly rushed up to help Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong.

Seeing that there were so many people present, Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong calmed down a little, but the horror in their eyes never faded.

"Ghosts, there are ghosts...!" Li Daquan pointed to the dilapidated house in the direction of the pigsty and said tremblingly.

Ghost?

Everyone looked at each other, a little disbelieving on their faces, but there was a little taboo in their hearts.

Is there really anything unclean here?

However, Lan Cuimei's focus is obviously different from everyone's. Seeing that Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong actually ran out of her pigsty, thinking that they wanted to beat her pigs, he was suddenly unhappy. The eyes, which were still a little sleepy, suddenly became sharp. took a step towards Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong angrily.

"Good! You two are so bold that your hands have come to my house. Ghosts? I think you have a ghost in your heart, right? What do I do in my yard without sleeping in the middle of the night? Yes? ”

Saying that, Lan Cuimei looked in the direction of the pigsty to make sure that the pigsty was still intact and the pigs were not lost, so she glanced back and forth at Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong with her fierce gaze.

Li Daquan and Zhang Dazhong were already scared half to death, but now they were so frightened by Lan Cuimei that they almost knelt down.

Although they didn't come to steal pigs, what they were going to do was not to see the light of day. At this time, while they are afraid in their hearts, they are more empty-hearted.

"The third aunt is wronged! We're not here to steal pigs, it's really a ghost, go and see it! It's in Xiaohua's room. Zhang Dazhong said loudly, trying to cover up his weakness by raising the volume.

"Don't make a fool of yourself, do you? I think you're here to steal the pigs. Saying that, Lan Cuimei glanced at everyone and continued: "Everyone has seen it, these two people obviously want to come over and steal something, hurry up and arrest them and send them to the official!" ”

"No, no... Don't! There are really ghosts, there are really ghosts! As soon as they heard that they were going to be sent to the official, Zhang Dazhong and Li Daquan hurriedly knelt down, and their expressions became even more panicked.

Seeing this, everyone present, except for Lan Cuimei, had a puzzled look on their faces.

Originally, everyone thought that the so-called ghosts in the mouths of Zhang Dazhong and Li Daquan were just excuses. But now when I see Zhang Dazhong and Li Daquan like this, they don't seem to be pretending, as if they are really scared.

A middle-aged uncle glanced at Zhang Zongren and saw that he didn't care about himself, so he looked at him and said, "Old Zhang, why don't we go over and have a look first?" Maybe there really ......! ”

"Look, can't you see that these two are lying? Ghosts? I think it's clear that they have ghosts in their hearts. Without waiting for the uncle to finish speaking, Lan Cuimei interrupted him directly, and her tone was quite dissatisfied. If you want her to say, just arrest people and send them to the official.

"Okay, okay, you go to Xiaohua's room to take a look, we haven't seen Xiaohua come out with such a big movement, maybe something really happened." Zhang Zongren looked at Lan Cuimei and said impatiently. As far as he is concerned, as long as the pig is not lost. Now he just wants to get everyone away and go back to his room to sleep.

Lan Cuimei saw Zhang Zongren talking to her with this attitude, and she was inexplicably unhappy. She subconsciously wanted to scare people, but she couldn't help it when she was worried about the people present.

Lan Cuimei held back a breath of anger and walked towards Zhang Xiaohua's room. At this time, she was still thinking that she would punish Zhang Xiaohua tomorrow, the thieves had stolen to the house, she didn't sleep at all, and she slept so dead.

Lan Cuimei came to the door of a dilapidated room next to the pigsty, the door was open. Zhang Dazhong and Li Daquan did not close the door when they fled, but because the door was broken, they closed it again.

Because of her anger, Lan Cuimei didn't notice the scene in the crack of the door when she came to the door. In a rage, he kicked the door open.
