Chen, Chen Rende?

Tang Ling was so frightened that she could barely stand, but fortunately she was still holding the curtain with one of her hands, otherwise she would have sat on the ground because of her weak legs. In the line of sight, the black shadow standing on the ground in the courtyard of the Tang family, the fat body, just like the familiar nightmare that Tang Ling had been afraid and timid for countless nights before, since Chen Rende's death, Tang Ling finally did not have to be frightened at night, and could sleep well with peace of mind, even if occasionally she looked into the courtyard unbelievingly, there was no longer the figure she was familiar with. But now, it appeared in the courtyard of the Tang family again, motionless, with its head tilted, as if it was looking at Tang Ling.

Impossible, it can't be Chen Rende.

Tang Ling's back was cold, she shook her head in disbelief, her hand holding the curtain tightened and loosened, Tang Ling bit her lip, wanted to retreat but couldn't resist the curiosity and shock and stopped in place. The light outside the house was not very bright, and although it was raining no night and the vision was much brighter, it was still difficult to see the true face of the dark shadow standing underneath.

It can't be Chen Rende's, how could it be him? He's been dead for so long, how can he still be alive? Didn't she kill Chen Rende? Could it be that Chen Qing actually rescued Chen Rende? Could it be that it is Chen Rende's ghost standing underground now? He came to seek revenge on himself? No, you can't scare yourself, it won't be a ghost.

Tang Ling was anxious and frightened in her heart, and at the same time, a thought slowly rose in her mind. If you want to confirm the true identity of the person standing underneath, you must have a light to pass by······ Does she want to turn on the lights and see?

Tang Ling stood stunned in place, once the thought arises, it is difficult to dispel it, Tang Ling is very entangled at the moment, her eyes have been locked on the motionless figure below, her heart is a little nervous, but at the same time she is a little worried, what if the black shadow below disappears after she turns on the light? What if it's just your own delusion? In fact, there is nothing below at all, is it a black shadow that I imagined?

Tang Ling was a little hesitant, and finally, driven by curiosity, Tang Ling let go of the hand holding the curtain, turned around and ran to the switch of the bedroom light, and ran back to the window as fast as she could, she opened the curtain a little wider, wanting to see the true face of the black shadow below through the light.

No, nothing.

Even if she didn't need light, Tang Ling could see clearly, the courtyard of the Tang family was empty, there was nothing, there was nothing on the flat courtyard, there was no black shadow that she was curious and afraid of, and the shadow she had just seen in the dark night seemed to be an illusion.

Is it really just my own delusion? Tang Ling had some worries in her heart, but the facts were in front of her, there was nothing in the courtyard of the Tang family, Tang Ling finally just took all this as her own illusion, closed the curtains, after this experience, Tang Ling didn't dare to look out of the window in a daze anymore, she climbed back to her bed, let the quilt wrap herself tightly, and forced herself to fall asleep with some uneasiness.

Tang Ling regarded this incident as a small accident, she didn't like to take it to heart, after all, a dead person who had scared her for so long, she didn't want to experience any follow-up stories related to him. Tang Ling thought that everything would pass like this, until the next night, as if she wanted to be sure of something, when she opened the curtain again, a familiar shadow stood in a familiar position in the night.

It is rare to have a full moon tonight, and the cool moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, and through the dismal white light, Tang Ling finally sees clearly the appearance of the person standing underground this time. The man was illuminated, revealing the extremely familiar face that Tang Ling had been afraid of for a long time, his ugly and greasy face, his eyes that constantly changed with his movements, his nose that always spewed out a heavy breath, and the wide lips that wrapped a mouthful of yellow, rotten teeth. The moonlight stretched his shadow very long, like another Chen Rende who was copied in the same proportion as him but was even more terrifying than him, and the two Chen Rende stood on the ground so big, facing her together, towards Tang Ling, who was standing behind the curtain and only dared to show half of her face.

Tang Ling propped one hand on the window frame, and sat on the ground with one leg paralyzed. Her body trembled uncontrollably, tears filled her eyes, Tang Ling opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound, she couldn't even scream, she felt so cold, she felt like she was naked and was thrown in the cold winter snow, Tang Ling's other hand was slowly placed in front of her mouth, and her teeth began to tear the flesh on her fingers, even if she was about to bite and bleed, Tang Ling didn't seem to feel it.

It's a ghost, it's a ghost, it must be Chen Rende's ghost who has come back to find himself! It was Lord Mountain God who found out about the crime she had committed, so he let Chen Rende's soul come back and punish herself!

Tang Ling's tears burst out of her eyes, she almost collapsed and buckled her head to the ground, like those pious prayer wishers in the temple who worship the Buddha statue, Tang Ling put her head against the floor, her hands clasped on her chest, Tang Ling was still trembling, her heart was afraid at the same time, unwillingness and anger began to become more and more intense.

Why? Why did Lord Sanshen want Chen Rende to come back here? Obviously he is the one who has always scared her! She was tortured by him to the point that she didn't look like a man, because of him, she no longer dared to sleep at night, and she was also beaten by Zhao Fang! She's covered in wounds! Those ugly scars are still imprinted on her body, even if she applies medicine, it won't work! Why should he be back here!

Tang Ling, who had been kneeling on the ground for an unknown amount of time, finally did a good job of psychological construction and generally chose to get up, her body almost fell when she got up because she became stiff, and after Tang Ling finally stabilized her figure, she took a few deep breaths, and then dared to open her eyes and look at the courtyard, where was the figure that frightened her.

Chen Rende disappeared again.

Tang Ling couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in at the moment. While rejoicing, she felt extremely ridiculous and hateful, her hand holding the windowsill continued to exert force, her fingertips were already a little white, Tang Ling bit her lip, even if it had been bitten by herself, and the heavy smell of blood spread in her mouth, Tang Ling still chose to let this wound be harmed a second time, it seemed that only in this way could she calm down a little.

Qiao Lingxiang found that Tang Ling's recent state was a little wrong.

Seeing that Tang Ling, who had finally returned to normal, was full of gloom when she met her in the past few days, even though Tang Ling had tried her best to show that she was safe and sound in front of her, Qiao Lingxiang still occasionally saw Tang Ling's face full of exhaustion and resentment when she didn't face her.

What did Tang Ling go through? Qiao Lingxiang had no way of knowing, no matter how much she asked, Tang Ling still patted her chest and comforted her and said that she was fine, Qiao Lingxiang was a little sad, obviously she could clearly feel that Tang Ling's mood was wrong, but there was no way to help her solve her problems. How many bad things did Tang Ling experience when she didn't know?

"Sister Qiao, does Lord Mountain God really exist?"

On this day, Tang Ling, who was folding a thousand paper cranes with Qiao Lingxiang, suddenly asked.

Qiao Lingxiang looked at Tang Ling with some surprise, after all, she had never heard the word "mountain god" come out of Tang Ling's mouth, why did she suddenly mention this? Qiao Lingxiang was a little puzzled, but she still thought seriously for a while and then answered Tang Ling's question: "Lingling, maybe there are really gods and ghosts in this world, but they will definitely not appear in Yushen Village, because the mountain gods are just a group of pedantic people who try to sit back and enjoy their achievements without hard work." ”

Most people in Yujin Village have special respect for the so-called mountain god.

If the crops are not good, the mountain god is angry, and when the rain is clear, the mountain god blesses, which family gives birth to a big fat boy is the mountain god's manifestation, and this year it is richer that the mountain god is blessed, in the Yushen village, no matter what they do, good or bad, the villagers like to link them with the mountain god, just like their gains are not because of their own efforts but by relying on the protection of the mountain god, and their loss is not because of the limited ability but because of the annoyance of the mountain god. Qiao Lingxiang felt extremely disgusted for this so-called "Lord Mountain God", because of the so-called rules of believing in the mountain god and serving the mountain god, they were restricted from going out, and they were restricted from many things, as long as they resisted or complained a little, they would be punished very cruelly.

It's ridiculous.

"Lingling, no matter what you hear, or what you experience, you must see clearly with your eyes, listen carefully with your ears, and let yourself find out the real thing.

Qiao Lingxiang touched Tang Ling's head, she said to Tang Ling earnestly, she didn't want Tang Ling to be brainwashed and confused like other people in the village, because after experiencing some things, she also became like her parents, like Zhao Fang and Tang Jianguo, and like many other villagers in Yushen Village, the first thing that came to mind before and after doing anything was the hypocritical mountain god, thinking that her belief in the so-called god affected her own results. No one can decide what they will do and what they will do, and they can only control them.

Tang Ling raised her head and looked at Qiao Lingxiang, she blinked. In the past few days, because of the anxiety of Chen Rende's ghost return, it was suddenly and wonderfully resolved at this time, Tang Ling was indeed as Qiao Lingxiang was worried about, during this time, she linked her own experience with the widely spread mountain god in Yushen Village, she thought that she had made a mistake to attract the dissatisfaction of the mountain god and punished herself, but after listening to what Qiao Lingxiang said, Tang Ling slowly came to her senses.

If it was really the punishment that the mountain god had brought down to her, and wanted Chen Rende to harm herself again, then why did Tang Ling After so many days and nights of observation, she found that Chen Rende's figure would always stand in the same position at the same time, just standing there stiffly, doing nothing, looking up rigidly towards his bedroom, and then after ten minutes, he turned around and left the Tang family.

Do ghosts walk away on their own?

Tang Ling began to think carefully, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper, and many doubts that she had ignored due to her restless emotions some time ago became clearer and clearer at this moment. It's strange, many places are full of strangeness, if Chen Rende is really a ghost, how can he walk back and forth by himself? And he will only stand in the yard for a short time, and Chen Rende's actions are very strange, the way he walks is not like the normal way of human walking, it is a little crooked, as if his limbs are not controlled by the brain, and the random nerves control him to move, which is too strange.

A bold idea rose in Tang Ling's heart: she planned to follow Chen Rende tonight to see where he came to the Tang family's courtyard.
