"My uncle's incident, actually...... I don't know very well. I was very young at the time, just starting elementary school, right? And I didn't live with my uncle, so I didn't know exactly what was going on. ”
"It's okay, just say what you know."
"What I know is that my uncle hit a ghost at that time and fell into evil. My grandmother and grandfather were going to move with my uncle, so I asked my parents to find a new house. At that time, there was no house to buy or sell, and my father was more connected, so he found a mud house in the countryside of Pingnan City, with a separate yard, and gave them a place to live. My mom was running at both ends at that time, and it was very hard. After that, seeing that my uncle's condition had stabilized, my mother took me to see it once. ”
"Hmm. Did you meet Mr. Zhang Hongda? ”
"Yes...... Yes, I saw it. He...... He was really evil at that time, he looked like a madman, and he couldn't be called a madman......"
"Ms. Lin, can you tell us as much as you can about what happened that day? Details are important to us. ”
"Tell me more...... Oh, yes, yes. What to say in detail...... It was a sunny day, and the sun was very sunny. My mother took me to Pingnan and took a tractor passing by. The place was very remote, the rural dirt road was not easy to walk, I sat on the tractor for a long time, it was so upside down, I vomited as soon as I got out of the car, I had to keep walking, and then I saw my grandmother's new home...... I don't remember what the house looked like now, but I remember being terrified when I saw it. The house was lonely, far away from the surrounding people, and behind it was the dark and secluded mountain forest...... Now speaking of which...... Grandma, what they are looking for is such a house, far away from everyone else......"
"Hmm."
"When I got to the door, my mother called out, and I can't remember if it was my grandmother or grandfather who came out to greet me, but I didn't see my uncle anyway. My mom was talking to my grandparents, and I was sitting next to them, and I didn't listen to what they said. When I was a child, I was very naughty, and when I saw chickens and ducks in the yard, I ran to chase them, and then, I saw a person standing in the window of the house, someone I didn't know. He just stared at me as if he wanted to eat someone. The sun is shining, and I am chilled when I am stared at by him. I must have screamed at the time, and I wanted to find my mother, so I rushed into the house. He moved, too, and ran away from the window, and I saw him come out from behind the wall, stand in front of me, stop at the door, reach out and push me to the ground, and start tearing my skirt! ”
"Skirts?"
"Yes, it's the skirt."
"And then?"
"Later, my mom jumped over to protect me, and my grandma and grandfather were pulling him, and he wouldn't let me go, and he was still tearing my skirt...... That skirt...... That skirt is my new skirt, I remember this very clearly, I got a double hundred points in the exam, my dad bought it for me, a very bright red skirt, the skirt has small flowers...... He was about to tear his skirt to pieces, and he was yelling and screaming. In the end, it didn't work, so my mother let me go, went to get something, and smashed it on the head, which subdued him. ”
"That person is your uncle, right?"
"Well, yes, it's my uncle, he seems to have changed into a person, and the whole person is thin and out of shape, and I don't even recognize it."
"He thinks your dress is a ghost?"
"I don't know. I knew then that I was crying, my mother hugged me, and she left very quickly, and she never took me to see my uncle again, and when my uncle died, I didn't go. ”
"Didn't you hear about it from your mother?"
"Nope. I was really too young at the time, and when I got older, I forgot a little bit. Well, maybe I forgot it on purpose. I still don't wear a skirt, and it's a little uncomfortable to see the kind of clothes with a lot of red. Hey, I'm sorry, I've been talking about my own business, and I haven't helped you too much. ”
"Where, that's been a big help for us."
"There's another question to think about."
"Excuse me."
"Did your mother mention anything about her hometown?"
"Huh?"
"As far as we know, the people in that area were not very mobile before the factories closed, the factories were established, they went from farmers to workers, and the living area did not change. Your mother was one of the few people who moved out. Did she mention anything about her hometown? Is there anything special about your parents' marriage? ”
"This ...... It seems that there is none. My parents are married...... Wasn't it special in those days? They were in free love, and my mom met my dad when she went to the city on an errand, and the two of them saw each other right, so they talked about friends, and then got married. ”
"Well, okay. If you still think of something, you can always contact us. ”
"Okay."

"Hello, is it Reporter Ye from "Strange Stories"?"
"Yes, you're Miss Lin Juan, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes! It's me. I just remembered something that might help you. ”
"Tell me."
"Hmm. This is something I heard my mom tell me about when I was a kid. I don't remember what I did, anyway, when she reprimanded me, she scared me and told me to lock me up in the empty house anyway. That empty house seems to be a courtyard in my hometown, which has been empty for decades when no one lives in it or takes care of it. The old man in his hometown scared the children by saying that they would lock people in empty houses, and that there would be monsters to eat the children at night. ”
"That's right...... Are there any practical examples? ”
"How is this possible? Hehe. It's just a local legend, or maybe it's made up. Your magazine should be interested in this, right? ”
"yes, it's a lot of fun, thank you for the content."

“…… Empty house, you know, there is indeed such a place. But it's an abandoned house, right? I haven't been. ”
Rustling......
“…… Oh! The room where there are youkai! Isn't it just something that scares children? I've been there, but I'm not impressed. A lot of people have been there! ”
Rustling......
Syllable!
"Oops! As soon as you say it, I remember, Captain Li went to an empty house with people when he was a child! A lot of people went together, and they didn't go home after dinner, and everyone was chased and beaten by their families, which was called a lively! ”
"Auntie, are you sure it's Captain Li?"
"Who else but him! Hey, isn't Captain Li hitting a ghost, is he being targeted by monsters? ”
