Song Yan continued to pull the door open rhythmically.

Widow Wang was truly terrified; if she alerted others, how could she possibly live her life afterward?

"Ancestor, can you please stop being so arrogant?"

The sound of the door being pulled continued rhythmically, one after another.

Widow Wang was truly at her wit's end. "Stop pulling, I'll open the door for you. Let's say a few words, then you should leave quickly."

Widow Wang pushed open the door, but no one came in. A cold draft blew in through the crack in the door, and she stuck her head out to look.

A woman stood about five feet from the doorway. It was clear she was a woman because, although the light of the waxing moon was hazy, her two braids were still visible. "Who are you? In the middle of the night..."

The people who were clearly standing in front of me suddenly disappeared.

"Ah, ah! A ghost!" Widow Wang screamed without making a sound. She plopped down on the ground.

"What are you doing? It's the middle of the night." Widow Wang's parents-in-law both got up. Her father-in-law couldn't come over, so it was her mother-in-law who came out.

"Mother, I saw someone in the yard, and then suddenly they disappeared. She was even pulling on my door!" Widow Wang clung tightly to her mother-in-law.

"Are you having a nightmare? Or have you been messing around with men outside?" Granny Sun said with disgust.

"It's a woman. She has two long braids."

"Nonsense. You must be having a nightmare or seeing things! It's the middle of the night, you'll wake up the neighbors. Go back to your room and sleep!" The old lady was about to leave.

"Mother, it's true!"

“You must be seeing things. Let me tell you, when this house was built, I had someone fix it. There are things in this yard to ward off evil spirits. Nothing dares to come here. Where would a ghost come from?” Widow Wang’s mother-in-law, Granny Sun, said in a low voice.

"Was I seeing things? Really, there was nothing there?" Widow Wang was starting to doubt herself, because it felt like it had just flashed by. She used the doorframe for support as she got up from the ground. "Hmm! I must have been seeing things."

"Yeah, you must be seeing things. Stop acting up for a day and just live a normal life. You're going to ruin the family's reputation..."

Widow Wang was persuaded by Granny Sun, how could that be allowed?

Granny Sun and Widow Wang stood facing each other, but Granny Sun couldn't see behind her.

When Widow Wang saw the woman's back again, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and just pointed behind her mother-in-law...

The mother-in-law turned around and indeed saw a woman's back. "Ah, a ghost, a ghost..."

Song Yan's back was visible to Widow Wang. She didn't know if Widow Wang had seen her until the old woman called out, at which point Song Yan entered the space.

"Ah! Help?"

"Don't come any closer..."

Widow Wang was already inside the house when the old lady called her several times before she remembered. She then jumped inside and locked the door.
