The frightened villager fell to the ground and met the bloodshot eyes of the old lady who was lying on her back on the bed with a purple and stiff face.

All of a sudden, all the blood in his body rushed to his head, "Someone's dead!"

"My mother-in-law was also killed by a ghost!!"

The villagers screamed and ran out of the house using their hands and feet, knocking the staff at the door to the ground.

The photographer carrying a camera at the back heard this and suppressed his curiosity and did not go over to take pictures when director Li Chenghe tried to stop him.

Even so, all the viewers in the live broadcast room heard the villagers' terrified roars, saw the expressions of the villagers who ran to the door and looked inside, and whose faces changed instantly after seeing the tragic situation in the house, and the comments were still boiling.

[Dead? ?! Is this true? ]

[Oh my god, today's group competition is probably the most exciting one since the show started. I never thought that watching a variety show would lead to someone's death! ]

[The comments saying that they were acting are really enough. If everyone in this village has such great acting skills, they can all become movie kings and queens. Besides, the accident happened under the camera of the production team. It is impossible that they were acting to seriously injure the staff? This is illegal! ]

[In less than two hours since entering the village, three people have been injured and one has died. How much this haunting ghost must hate the people in the village! I am a little worried about the safety of the production team...]

The bizarre death of the grandmother-in-law threw the villagers into complete panic.

Although the cause of this incident was obviously unnatural, the villagers could not be allowed to destroy the scene. Gu Zhisang asked everyone who was still near the wooden house to disperse.

No one listened at first, but after she said that there was still the lingering scent of ghosts in the house and that it would bring bad luck if contaminated by them, the villagers swarmed away from the wooden house.

The nearly 90-year-old chief of Watuo Village, supported by Lamu, walked up to Gu Zhisang and others, and in a trembling dialect, requested the program team and the contestants to help their village.

Now all the villagers are in panic all day long.

They are unable to go out and relatives outside the village cannot come back.

At dusk, all the villagers dared not go out. The whole Watuo village was as silent as a dead place. Even sleeping was restless.

Gu Zhisang nodded slightly: "Let us take a look at the situation first."

After the surrounding villagers retreated, she and several other contestants entered the wooden house one after another. Before entering, in order not to disrupt the scene, she thought about it and set up a hidden formation.

With the help of the formation, the impact of her and others on the local environment can be minimized.

As soon as I stepped into the house, the strong smell of blood and faint stench in the air became much stronger.

The wooden house had only one window, with a floral curtain hung on it that was now drawn at an angle, making the room airtight and appearing particularly gloomy and dark.

The old lady leaning on the bed was short, with gray hair and a layer of light spots on her face.

She died in a horrible way, with her lower body covered with a blanket.

He Mi Tu seemed to sense something and walked closer to the bed.

He opened it and took a look, and his brows frowned instantly.

Because it was a mess and bloody.

He raised his hand to cover the tip of his nose, then turned to Gu Zhisang and the others and said:

"Death from disembowelment."

Fortunately, this tragic scene was covered by the quilt, otherwise the reckless villager who entered first would have seen a scene that was not as easy to accept as it seemed on the surface.

Xi Haihong said, "It seems that the evil creature is really obsessed with 'cutting open the abdomen'. It can be confirmed that it is the pregnant woman from the Xing family who died."

"Is she taking revenge on the mother-in-law and the villagers for destroying her body and dissecting her baby?"

“I’m not sure yet.”

At this time, Gu Zhisang had already circled the mud house twice.

Sure enough, she discovered some clues.

First of all, the owner of this wooden house, who is also the village's housekeeper, is almost eighty years old.

She never married and had no children, but she was highly respected in the village for her ability to diagnose illnesses and communicate with spirits.

Based on the furnishings in the house and the patterns on the old lady's clothes, Gu Zhisang speculated that she should be a descendant of primitive shamanism and had certain abilities.

It stands to reason that such an experienced veteran should not have made such a mistake and ended up like this.

And what she found around and inside the cabin confirmed that the mother-in-law was prepared.

Gu Zhisang: "Look, there are talismans pasted in front of the house, and there are soul-soothing nails smashed on the ground outside the house. These are all means to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts. There is a thin layer of white dust sprinkled on the ground from the door to the bedroom. This is glutinous rice soaked in willow juice and mugwort leaves and ground into powder. It has a natural restraint on evil spirits, especially zombies."

Judging from the instruments that the mother-in-law had carefully prepared specifically to deal with the "rising corpses", she knew in her heart that the grave that was struck by lightning and the corpse that disappeared must be a very bad omen!

Gu Zhisang continued, "As long as the ghosts break into the house, they will be hurt by the glutinous rice flour and make noises to attract her attention. At that time, she only needs to activate the talismans and instruments that have been arranged in advance. Even if she cannot eliminate the evil spirits, she should be able to drive them away and protect herself."

The strange thing is that the mother-in-law was already prepared to deal with it, but she still died tragically on the bed quietly.

Judging from the state she was frozen in before her death, she should have been sitting on the kang and making ritual tools.

He didn't react at all when he was attacked by the evil spirit, and didn't expect this result, so his eyes were wide open and his expression was distorted with shock.

Hearing this, Xi Haihong frowned and asked:

"That's really strange. If the evil spirit didn't have a physical body, it wouldn't have caused this old lady to die so tragically.

But if it has a physical body and is not a ghost, how can it pass through the wall without making any noise?"

Gu Zhisang remained patient and walked around the house twice, and finally she found some traces.

"It wasn't the pregnant ghost who killed her, but the ghost baby in her belly."

Gu Zhisang was seen standing in the corner of the living room where sundries were piled up. In the dim corner, where the space was mostly blocked by boxes, there was a very inconspicuous small square wooden board.

The top of the board is fixed to the wall with thin shafts and nails, and the other three sides are not fixed, so that it can be lifted up from the inside to reveal a square, football-sized hole leading to the outside of the house.

Looking at the old lady's house, there are bags of cheap dog food, a dog house for small dogs and several plastic toys, which is enough to prove that she has a dog at home.

Because she has difficulty walking and doesn't like going out, she can't walk the dog often, so she left a small tunnel and a dog hole for the dog to go home by itself.

When the old lady was arranging the objects to ward off evil spirits in the house, all her attention was focused on the doors and windows, and the emphasis was also placed on warding off the pregnant ghost;

Naturally, she ignored this inconspicuous little cave that she herself had almost forgotten.

Who would have thought that this would become the failure that led to her death.

Gu Zhisang went out and turned to the back of the house.

She found some dried blood, some fur and broken bones in a nearby haystack.

Outside the house, near the cracks in the wall, several clear black handprints were seen.

It seems that my mother-in-law's dog is also gone.

It has been torn apart by the evil creature.

However, those handprints were only as big as a baby's palm, and they retained a very strong yin energy, which confirmed her guess.

After confirming the cause of death of the grandmother, Gu Zhisang pondered for a moment, then found Lamu and the tribe leader who had been waiting nearby, and told them what he and the others had discovered:

“According to current observations, the pregnant woman must have suffered a lot of grievances and resentment before her death, so she chose to hang herself in the middle of the night.

The reason why she committed suicide at the entrance of the village instead of staying at home is that she obviously hated the whole village."

"You also destroyed her body on a rainy night, cut out the fetus in her belly, and burned it with fire. You should know that the ghost of a baby that has grown but died has a lot of resentment..."

If at the time of burial, the villagers had not panicked and buried the half-burned bodies after seeing the rain put out the flames, but had moved the bodies of the pregnant woman and the fetus to a dry place and burned them repeatedly to make sure that the foul air had been removed by the Samadhi True Fire, then all that happened later would not have happened.

But the villagers were so scared that they buried the pregnant woman and her fetus, who had died unjustly and whose bodies had been mutilated, just like that. And then there was a thunderstorm on a rainy night.

Taking many factors into consideration, it was definitely not just the pregnant woman from the Xing family who "resurrected" that night.

Even the baby that had just been formed and died in the womb was "resurrected".

Now two great evil spirits were born, and they are mother and son, and their abilities have increased exponentially.

No wonder so many evil things happened in this village in just two weeks.

After hearing Gu Zhisang's explanation, Lamu became even more panicked: "What should we do now, Master?"

Gu Zhisang hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to go to the pregnant woman's home first to see if there are any other people in her home?"

Lamu said, "We will not hide the truth from you. When it comes to this daughter-in-law of the Xing family and her family, there is really a lot to say! Her own parents have passed away, and after she got married, she lived with her husband and parents-in-law."

Lamu sighed and told the whole story of the Xing family's daughter-in-law's family affairs and the cause of death.

According to him, the Xing family has two children, a son and a daughter.

The older one is the sister and the younger one is the brother.

Since childhood, Old Lady Xing has treated her precious son as dear as the apple of her eye, and believed that her son was worthy of the fairy in heaven.

Old Mrs. Xing did not leave a penny of the dowry money for her eldest daughter's early marriage. She took out all her savings and gave it to her son, building a two-story house for him in the village.

With this small building, she became even more proud and prepared to find a wife for Xing Laoer, who would be either a girl from the county town or a daughter of a wealthy family in the village.

Who would have thought that Xing Laoer secretly got together with a young girl from the same village without his mother's knowledge.

That is the deceased daughter-in-law of the Xing family.

In Lamu's words, although the temper of the daughter-in-law of the Xing family was not good, she was indeed beautiful when she was young, fair and pretty, and could be called a flower in the village. Many young men liked her.

But her family conditions were very ordinary, and she had no mother since childhood. She was raised by a taciturn father.

Originally, the father and daughter lived in another village. For some unknown reason, when the girl was five or six years old, the man, whose wife had died and who had become a widower, brought her to settle in Watuo Village.

People in the village only vaguely heard that his wife somehow fell into the river and drowned while washing clothes.

As the little daughter grew up, she became beautiful and cheerful, and was very eye-catching in the village.

Although she is the object of admiration of many young men, she is not a suitable 'daughter-in-law' for the elders.

Her family background is too poor and her personality is not stable enough. She will definitely be a difficult wife to control after she gets married.

When she first heard that her son was in love with such a girl, Mrs. Xing was very upset and refused to agree no matter what.

She thought that this girl must be being indecent and seducing her beloved.

Who would have thought that her little son, whom she had cherished for half his life, would quarrel with her over a female witch, bringing unrest to the family!

The second son of the Xing family said frankly that if he could not marry this girl, he would never get married in his life.

Old Mrs. Xing was so angry about this that she fell ill. She lay on the bed, holding her chest and saying that her heart was aching.

No matter how dissatisfied and unhappy she was, no matter how much she looked down on this girl, she still went to propose marriage for the sake of her son, and married this girl, who she thought was indecent and a vixen, into her family.

In the first two years after the second son of the Xing family got married, he was the envy of others in the village.

The wife is beautiful and the husband is honest.

The only flaw is that the mother-in-law at home is always making trouble. She has a big quarrel every two or three days, and every time she quarrels, half of the village can hear it.

During that period, all the villagers regarded the fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Xing family as a topic of after-dinner talk. Whenever Old Lady Xing started making a fuss, they would stand in front of the stage of each family to watch the show.

Old Mrs. Xing said that her daughter-in-law was "coquettish" and "spoiled".

Which married woman in the village doesn't get up every day to cook for her parents-in-law, raise chickens and ducks and do laundry at home? But this man in her family has to wear skirts and hairpins, is lazy and gluttonous, and can't be asked to do anything.

The daughter-in-law of the Xing family was bold and aggressive, so she went against her mother-in-law.

The key is that she can coax Xing Laoer. Whenever they quarrel, Xing Laoer will come out with a headache on his face to mediate:

"Okay, mom, if she doesn't want to do it, I'll do more. I can cook, too."

Old Mrs. Xing was vomiting and was so angry that she jumped up and down.

She gave birth to a baby so that he could enjoy the happiness. Other people's wives can serve their parents-in-law and husbands, so why should they invite their ancestors home?

The old lady thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea. If she continued to let her son stay at home and persuade her husband every day, sooner or later this damn daughter-in-law would turn him into a henpecked man who only cared about his wife and not his mother!

So Old Mrs. Xing asked someone to use their connections to ask a villager who often went out to work in the county town and had some connections to take care of her son so that he could go out and earn money.

Now that Xing Laoer was no longer able to relieve his stress, the family was left with only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, causing chaos and quarrels every day.

The turning point happened one day two years ago.

Old Mrs. Xing was quarreling with her daughter-in-law over a trivial matter, an egg. The daughter-in-law of the Xing family was so angry that her face turned red and she glared at her mother-in-law as if she wanted to eat her.

Before the neighbors who were watching the show could react, they saw her suddenly grab the porcelain jar on the table and smash it on her mother-in-law's head.

This scared the villagers and they rushed forward to stop the man.

Old Mrs. Xing, who was supported and sitting on the ground, was actually fine. Her forehead was just a little swollen and there was a bump on it, but the skin was not even broken.

But she just wouldn't get up. She sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying and howling, saying that she had married a female tyrant into her family.

My mother-in-law would beat me to death if I said a few words to her!

The Xing family's wife was so angry that she wanted to rush over, but was held down by several village women. At this time, the neighbors also realized that something was wrong.

She was a little too irritable; she had never been like this before.

So the villagers comforted Xing's daughter-in-law while taking her to see the mother-in-law who caused the accident, thinking that she had been hit by something dirty.

After meeting someone, my mother-in-law said that she couldn't cure this disease and that I had to go to a big hospital.

When Xing Laoer came back from vacation, he heard that his mother and wife had a fight, and his mother made his wife crazy.

It turns out that the daughter-in-law of the Xing family herself has a family history of mental illness.

The truth about her mother falling into the river was also revealed.

The woman did not fall into the water accidentally, but suddenly became ill while washing clothes by the river. She danced and danced on the river bank and finally drowned herself.

In order to help his daughter grow up, the father of Xing's daughter-in-law brought her to a new environment.

Although she has a family history of genetic disease, she has never been ill over the years. Therefore, her father never thought that his daughter might be ill and always treated her as an ordinary person.

Who would have thought that during an argument, I would be provoked by my own mother-in-law.

Isn't this just being driven crazy by the mother-in-law?

But Mrs. Xing didn't think so.

She blamed her daughter-in-law's family for hiding her mental illness, saying that they had deceived the whole family and it was a marriage fraud.

Some villagers themselves have a tinted lens towards this disease, so naturally they would not stand on the side of Xing's wife.

In short, after the disease was triggered, the war in the Xing family became even more out of control.

As if on purpose, Mrs. Xing found faults in her daughter-in-law more frequently, causing her emotions to become increasingly unstable, and every time she made her daughter-in-law go crazy in front of the villagers.

Over time, the villagers and Xing Laoer himself, who felt sorry for her at first, became annoyed by her troubles.

After just a few years, the originally beautiful and bright daughter-in-law turned into a crazy person who got angry at the slightest provocation. Caught between the two women, Xing Laoer became more and more reluctant to go home.

It was in the first half of this year that the Xing family had another big fuss.

This time it's not a trivial matter.

While Xing Laoer was away working, the wife of the Xing family had an affair with some lover and even got herself pregnant!

Old Mrs. Xing sat in the yard crying and saying that their Xing family was about to lose all face!

He also said that his daughter-in-law had done such a shameful thing and wanted to frame his own son for the bastard.

It turned out that when Xing Laoer came back this time, while the family was eating at the table, his daughter-in-law suddenly started to dry heave, covered her stomach and ran to the sink, vomiting non-stop.

This attracted the attention and suspicion of Mrs. Xing.

In the past few years since her marriage, she has often scolded her daughter-in-law for being a hen that doesn't lay eggs, but in fact, it was she who wanted to separate her son and daughter-in-law by sending her son to work outside.

She doesn't think there is anything wrong with her and blames her daughter-in-law for not living up to her expectations.

My daughter-in-law hasn't had her menstruation for the past two months, and her belly is a little bigger than before. She keeps complaining at home that there is something wrong with her menstruation and she needs to go to the hospital.

Because the pregnancy was barely noticeable in the first three months, and her son was away from home working, it was impossible for her to have a baby, so Mrs. Xing didn't think about it.

She frowned as she looked at her daughter-in-law who was bending over to vomit, wondering if her belly was a little too protruding.

She wanted to take her daughter-in-law to see a doctor that day, but because her daughter-in-law was unwilling and felt that her mother-in-law suspected her of having ulterior motives, she made a big fuss at home again.

Who would have thought that when I went to see the person in charge, I found out that she was really pregnant!

The Xing family’s daughter-in-law has been pregnant for two months.

But Xing Laoer had been away from home for more than three months and had never come back once!

This made Mrs. Xing furious, and she ended up sitting at home crying and accusing her daughter-in-law of cheating on her.

"When you insisted on marrying her, I told you that she was a troublemaker! No one listened to me, and now our Xing family is losing face!"

Xing's daughter-in-law also cried and protested her injustice.

She said she had not done anything to offend her husband and that there was no way she was pregnant.

Even if she gets pregnant, it can only be her husband's.

For this reason, the family went to the county hospital for another check-up.

No matter how they checked, she was nine weeks pregnant and there was a baby in her uterus.

Now the Xing family’s daughter-in-law had no way to defend herself.

Without adultery, could this child be born just like an egg?

The villagers who originally sympathized with Xing's daughter-in-law also began to think that she was dishonest and behaved improperly.

Her previous rebellious behavior and defiance of her mother-in-law became "evidence" of her dishonesty.

In short, no matter how the Xing family's daughter-in-law denied it, her belly kept getting bigger day by day like a balloon, and her whole spirit became increasingly gloomy.

With her mother-in-law scolding her every day, her husband avoiding her, the villagers' eyes focused on her belly every time she went out, and all kinds of accusations and humiliating rumors about her, the Xing family's daughter-in-law quickly lost weight.

It is said that her mother-in-law even went to a fortune teller in the village to get abortion pills.

The Xing family's daughter-in-law drank it twice in total, but this "evil creature" was very tenacious and she didn't get a miscarriage!

When Xing's wife took the medicine for the second time, she kept bleeding and screamed in pain all night, which made the neighbors nearby feel numb. Even so, the child was not aborted.

This went on for herself a few months, and then two weeks ago, the Xing family's daughter-in-law took a rope and hunged at the entrance of the village.

After Lamu finished speaking, his face was full of fatigue and he said:

"Master, listen, what did the people in our village do wrong?"

"I admit that the villagers may be gossipy, but we didn't wrongly accuse her. She got pregnant behind Xing Lao Er's back and refused to tell the truth. Not to mention the villagers, even if you city people have such a family around you, you would have to say something out of curiosity!"

It is indeed an unheard-of miracle for a woman to become pregnant on her own.

Gu Zhisang frowned slightly and asked, "What is the relationship between the dead people and her?"

Lamu shook his head and said, "At first we also thought that there might be her... mistresses among these people, but those people, like her husband, Xing Lao Er, work away from home all year round, so the schedules don't match."

"The one who went to school is even more impossible. The dead woman was the elder sister-in-law of the Xing family's daughter-in-law, that is, the biological sister of Xing Laoer. This elder sister-in-law is also an honest person. She has been working diligently to help the family and her younger brother over the years. I don't know how much she has taken for the Xing family. Her in-laws are also very dissatisfied."

According to Lamu, all those who died were innocent.

Old Mrs. Xing, who should have been hated the most by the Xing family's daughters-in-law in the whole incident, is actually still living a peaceful life.

No wonder the villagers are so dissatisfied.

Gu Zhisang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can we go to the Xing family to take a look?"

Lamu shook his head slightly and said:

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Old Madam Xing is a stubborn person. She kicked out our people who came to her house to inquire about the situation. She said that her daughter-in-law had cheated on her husband and was pregnant with someone else's child, so she was no longer a member of their Xing family. She told us not to look for them anymore, but they would not cooperate even if we did."

"In that case, let's catch those two evil creatures first. As long as we cut off the source, everything will become clear." Gu Zhisang said in a calm voice.

According to the current situation, the sin committed by the villagers should be the sin of verbal abuse.

Their constant complaints of "cheating" and "improper conduct" were also important reasons for breaking down the psychological defenses of the Xing family's daughter-in-law.

To the Xing family's daughter-in-law, everyone in the village deserves to die.

But this vicious creature, blinded by hatred and with only killing in its heart, must be controlled at all costs.

Otherwise, it will kill everyone in the village and bring disaster to the world!

The author has something to say:

I went to take the Level 6 exam today and was exhausted, so I wrote less. I will try to smooth over this incident tomorrow! !
