Just out of rating, it will rise, haha.

Tang Youyou opened her eyes and found herself an ancient, timid widow. Having been single for over 30 years, she inexplicably skipped marriage and chil...

Chapter 124: Pretending to be a ghost to scare people

The villagers here were eating together. It was getting dark and they couldn't work, so they gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing, to relieve their fatigue.

Da Jun suddenly approached Chief Liu and asked quietly, "Dad, what did Sister Tang do with Tang Wu?"

Chief Liu glared at him and said, "It's none of your business! Watch your mouth!"

The eldest son is not only an honest person, but he is also a chatterbox and quite gossipy. I wonder who he takes after?

Da Jun: Dad has been very moody these days, so it’s better not to provoke him!

When Butler Zhao arrived, everyone was already ready to rest. After all, the sun rose early, so they went to bed early and got up early, as tomorrow would be another busy day.

"Huh? Why are there so many people holding torches? What are they trying to do?"

Everyone immediately became alert.

But surprisingly, they ignored them and went straight to the foot of the mountain.

Clan leader Liu whispered to the elders, "Tell everyone, no matter what happens tonight, pretend to be asleep! Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Whether I can go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood in the future may depend on tonight.

The elders of the tribe were a little confused, but they still went down to inform everyone. Within a quarter of an hour, everyone received the news and fell asleep on the ground.

Perhaps because he was too tired, he soon started snoring like thunder.

The group of people at the foot of the mountain were stunned.

"Oh my god, if you didn't know, you would think a herd of wild boars had arrived!"

"That's right, the noise is too loud!"

"It's really strange. How can they sleep with so many mosquitoes?"

"Tsk tsk, they say people have thick skin and flesh, and mosquitoes like people with delicate skin and tender flesh, but a bunch of mud-legged people don't care about anything at all and actually sleep on the ground! How bizarre!"

Everyone was talking about it, and perhaps because there were so many people, they didn't feel scared.

In the woods, Tang Wu and Tang Youyou stared at the location of the torches and whispered to each other.

"Sister, will everything be okay?"

"What could it be? Just hide behind that rock wall. I'm going to climb a tree!"

Tang Wu swallowed and tugged at her clothes, "Sister, I'm scared!"

Tang Youyou rolled her eyes, "You're scared of nothing!"

The devil is in your hands, you should be afraid of others.

After saying that, he touched the giant salamander in the bucket and said, "Two good kids, this time it all depends on you!"

After saying that, he groped his way forward without looking back.

He put on the mask that had been prepared long ago, the "ghost clothes" made by Tang's mother, and did not forget to let all his hair down.

She felt a little regretful. If only she had a mirror. She wondered what she looked like in this outfit. Was it scary? She was even a little curious.

"Pooh pooh" she spat on her hands twice, and recalled the scene of her eldest son climbing a tree, and how he took great effort to climb up the trunk.

"Shh... did you hear anything?" A man was a little nervous.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became weird, and no one dared to breathe.

But after listening for a long time, I heard nothing.

"Bang!" A stone fell.

Tang Wu received the signal and began to tease the two giant salamanders. The two fish were frightened and immediately cried out.

“Woo… woo…”

The people at the foot of the mountain heard it vaguely and not clearly, but even so, they were still frightened.

"Butler, let's... let's go back? It's too scary!" a man suggested.

"The master is furious today. What good will happen to us when we return? Let's go up and take a look!"

He was actually very scared, but he would be beaten and scolded if he returned. Maybe everyone was too nervous and heard it wrong.

Because the sound is vague and intermittent, could it be the cry of an animal?

The crowd had no choice but to endure the fear and move tremblingly up the mountain.

Some people's legs were shaking, some's teeth were chattering, some were sweating profusely, and some even stumbled and fell flat on their faces.

Tang Wu kept watching the movements below.

There was no more sound until we entered the forest.

A man swallowed and said, "Well... there seems to be no sound!"

"What the hell is that? It sounds like crying!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.

He felt extremely aggrieved. It was the housekeeper who shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense in the middle of the night. And you're crying? I thought it was just an animal."

Everyone sat down on the spot and wanted to rest for a while, but a breeze blew and everyone shivered, as if a cold wind was passing through.

“It’s… so cold!”

It's early autumn now, still within the autumn heat.

Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard, "Wuwu... Wuwuwu", one after another, seemingly extremely shrill.

"Ah... ghost..." A man started running, but because he was too anxious, he fell down the hillside.

Seeing this, everyone started running downstairs with torches. The housekeeper shouted angrily, "Before we left, the master said that if we don't figure this out, he'll sell us all out when he gets back. You better think this through!"

He was actually very scared, but he had to take a look. Otherwise, given the master's temper, he would probably die.

The men's legs went weak as they pleaded, "Butler, if we go up here, we'll probably lose our lives. Sell us off, at least we still have our lives, right?"

The housekeeper sneered, "Do you think I'm not afraid? Do you think I want to go up there? Stupid! If the master is unhappy, we'll be torn to pieces, not to mention being sold. Let's go and take a look. It might be some animal!"

Everyone: Which animal is crying so late at night? Is this animal a spirit?

Everyone huddled together and moved forward towards the source of the crying, and suddenly the crying stopped.
