Chapter I: There is no way to appeal for grievances
"Whoop—whoa—" In the hazy night, a woman struggled to swim to the shore in the river, her eyes full of horror, and she looked back in fear as she swam, a female ghost dressed in red, who could not see her face, but always stood behind her. Obviously, the river bank is in front of her, but she can't reach it, obviously she has been swimming for a long time, but the female ghost is always behind!
Can't escape...... Can't escape......
The female ghost behind her followed her like a talisman, but watched her struggle like a prey.
Her padded jacket was soaked with water, and it was so heavy that it almost dragged her in. Finally caught the aquatic plants on the shore, and the woman was overjoyed!
However, a pair of cold hands firmly grasped her ankles.
The woman bowed her head in horror.
A black head floated up from the water, it jerked its head, its pupilless eyes gushing with blood, smiled strangely at her, and said darkly, "Got you!" ”
"Ah!!h When I opened my eyes, there was nothing. The woman exhaled as she looked at the familiar rooftop.
It turned out to be a dream.
Why is it so wet next to it? Turning his head suspiciously, he was dressed in red and his eyes were not white!
"Ah————h......h
This year's winter seems to have come earlier than before, only at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and a heavy fog has already surged around the surroundings, gradually enveloping the mountains and forests unconsciously, and the dry branches are swaying in the wind like ghost claws, as if they are about to hold on to something. In the low whimpering wind, it seems to tell the unknown dirt. There were two people walking in the woods, a girl in a black trench coat and a man in a cotton jacket.
"Ahead is the entrance to our village." Ah Li followed the simple and thick man down the mountain path, because he said that it was quicker to enter the village from this road. It was already dark, but fortunately it was not too late, and I could barely see the road with the flashlight in my hand.
"Our village chief's family doesn't know what's going on recently, and his daughter-in-law always says that she's seeing a ghost, and she can't invite a few gentlemen...... "The man explained the situation to her while helping her remove the branches that blocked the road, and reminded her to pay attention to her feet from time to time.
At this time, the village was already quiet, and a few dog barks were heard not far away, but they were soon inaudible.
Walking to the head of the village, looking at a small two-story bungalow in front of him, he finally arrived at the village chief's house in the man's mouth. The man asked her to wait, and he stepped forward to knock on the door, and the sound of "bang" seemed to startle someone, and a short scream came from inside, and at the same time stopped the man's knocking on the door, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Squeak-"
It was a middle-aged man of forty years old, who carefully opened the door a crack, frowned and looked out, and only after seeing the man next to Ah Li did he breathe a sigh of relief and open the door.
"Lao Yang, why are you silent, scare me! This is ......" Seeing Ah Li, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lao Yang in his mouth in confusion.
"Oh, didn't you ask me to help you find a gentleman? Isn't that it?"
"Just such a little girl?!"
Ah Li on the side looked at the mirror on the door, listened to their conversation without saying a word, and didn't say anything even if she was questioned, smiling, with a calm look. The village chief looked at Ah Li obviously not believing it, but under Lao Yang's persuasion, thinking of his daughter-in-law who was still sick in bed, he sighed and didn't say anything.
"Come in."
There was a strong smell of incense and candles in the house, faintly mixed with the smell of unknown Chinese medicine. On the tablet at the head of the bed is a statue of Guanyin. A woman on the bed was tightly wrapped in a quilt, and in the warm room, she was still shivering. Seeing Ah Li and the village chief, she trembled and asked, "Yes...... Is it it? With a deep fear and an uncontrollable cry, it seemed that she was frightened by the "it" in her mouth.
Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward to pat her and comforted: "No, no, it's Lao Yang who brought a little girl over...... finally put her to sleep, the village chief took Ah Li out of the back room, sat down by the fire outside, looked at Ah Li who hadn't spoken since she came in, and poured her a glass of water: "Your aunt has been like this for almost half a month, and she always sleeps until midnight and suddenly says that someone outside is watching her and wants to harm her...... You see......"
The man smoked a cigarette, full of sorrow between his wrinkles.
"I'll take a look tonight, don't worry." Ah Li took a sip of water, comforted the haggard man, lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
Someone watching outside? Did you provoke something unclean......
At night, the village chief arranged her in a small guest room on the first floor, from the window she could just see everything in the courtyard, and it was dark outside, and the wind poured in through the cracks in the window, causing a whining of the waves.
Everything was silent, everyone had fallen asleep, Ah Li leaned on the head of the bed and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, everything was so peaceful and peaceful.
The extremely soft sound of "da, da......" came into her ears, making Ah Li suddenly open her eyes, and at this time, the village chief's room also resounded with the cry of a woman breaking down, mixed with thick fear.
It's just in time.
Walking out the door, the yard was still the same scene, as if nothing had changed. But she still saw that in the southeast corner, there was a pool of water stains, as if it had been immersed from the outside, and after a short time, a large piece had accumulated, faintly emitting a fishy smell.
Ah Li clenched the talisman paper and quietly climbed up the wall from the wooden ladder next to her, and sure enough, she could see more things as she climbed higher.
Ah Li sighed and looked at the resentful figure in the corner. A bright red wedding dress was dripping with water, a bruised face, barely able to see that she was a young girl before she was born, her miserable white hands, the deep bruises on her wrists seemed to be some kind of unspeakable evidence of guilt, and a pair of eyes staring at the village chief's room, full of resentment and no pupils.
Feeling Ah Li's gaze, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at Ah Li with her dead white eyes without pupils, and the heavy resentment made Ah Li, a person who had seen a lot of ghosts, feel cold on her back, and the dripping water seemed to fall on her heart, and the suffocating heaviness made her tense body.
This female ghost was full of resentment, thinking that if it weren't for the various objects in the yard to drive away evil spirits, the village chief's daughter-in-law would have died violently. However, the return of the ghost and the failure to fulfill her long-cherished wish will only make her resentment increase sharply, and those things probably won't last long.
The female ghost looked at Ah Li on the wall, roared twice in her throat, and was about to pounce on her when she was thrown out by a rune paper thrown out by Ah Li, and the sharp pain of burning came from the place where the rune paper touched, which made her scream, looked at Ah Li, took two steps back, and looked at Ah Li suspiciously, gurgling in her throat, as if warning Ah Li not to meddle.
However, seeing that the other party was still standing firmly on the wall, looking at the window on the second floor unwillingly, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, a biting cold wind passed by, with an eerie howl, successfully making the room on the second floor scream with extreme fear, and after the wind stopped, everything returned to peace.
But this is just the beginning.
"How about the girl? The thing outside just ...... "As soon as he entered the house, the village chief couldn't wait to greet him and asked."
Just now, he could see clearly from behind the window on the second floor, and he could feel the female ghost's gloomy resentment through the window, which made him a big man have a chill down his spine, and at the same time he couldn't understand why he provoked such a thing.
"She ran. Will be back though. Ali spoke to the man next to her as she walked towards their room.
The village chief's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was about to ask something, but Ah Li looked at the shrunken figure on the bed and asked, "Uncle, have you ever done any happy events in the village?" The red wedding dress of the female ghost is very dazzling.
"Happy event? No......" I don't understand why Ah Li asked this question that seemed irrelevant to him, but the woman on the bed trembled even more when she heard this.
"It was a bride in a wedding dress who died." Ah Li was talking to the village chief, but her eyes were firmly fixed on the bed.
"And she'll be back. The ghost who is extremely resentful, probably wants to get what he wants, so he will leave......" Ah Li's voice was soft, but the words she said made people feel cold in the bottom of her heart, so that a ghost could get what she wanted......
"Don't!" The woman on the bed tossed down in the stunned eyes of the village chief, and suddenly knelt down in front of Ah Li and grabbed her firmly, crying bitterly and begging Ah Li for help: "Help me!" I don't want to die......" The trembling voice was full of fear, she didn't want to die......
Ah Li tilted her head to look at her, finally couldn't help it?
Ghosts don't entangle people for no reason, not to mention that the female ghost tonight is very resentful, and she has been wandering here day and night for half a month but only staring at the village chief's daughter-in-law, saying that the two have nothing to do with it, who believes it?
"I, I went up the mountain and accidentally destroyed a tomb...... It could be ...... her"
Ah Li listened to her ridiculous words, as well as those little eyes that were evasive, and raised her eyebrows: "The bride crawled out of the water, drenched in water." The hand that grabbed her thigh shook violently, and the quibble stopped abruptly, she looked at Ah Li's clear eyes, as if all the sins had been seen through by her, and she was still lying at this moment, like a clown jumping off the beam! Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands and feet were cold, but he still tightly grabbed the life-saving straw in front of him: "I said everything!" All said! You must save me! ”
They originally had a son who was not able to plague the villagers all day long, but he was harvested by heaven ten years ago. But a month ago she suddenly dreamed of him, and he said that he had no one to accompany him down there, and he was very lonely. The pitiful appearance of her son in the dream made her heart ache.
And there is a girl in the village, whose parents have long since died, and has been living alone in an abandoned cowshed......
"I don't think she has any parents or parents, and I've never seen any relatives...... So...... So I ......."
"Smack!" When the angry village chief heard what had happened, he trembled angrily and held on to the table with one hand, and staggered: "So you killed people!" Go and marry your unsuccessful son!! How can you figure it out! "
