Ma Linghua nodded in agreement; they couldn't do good deeds for nothing.

Huang Xiaoxiao; "…………"

These three women are so shameless, trying to drag a favor into something as trivial as this?

Before she could even react, Ma Hehua had already absorbed all the Yin energy. The speed was simply too fast!

"Master, please have mercy! I was forced into becoming a vengeful ghost, please let me go!" The water ghost spoke for the first time, and it was a girl's voice.

She slowly raised her head. Her fair face was somewhat pretty, but her complexion was deathly pale, comparable to Ma Lihua's.

"Oh! There's a story behind it? Tell me, how were you forced into this?" Ma Hehua had just finished absorbing yin energy and wasn't in a hurry. She hadn't turned on her phone for months, so she had to hear the ghost's story to relieve her boredom.

Ma Lihua also became interested. Due to her health condition, she never touched her phone, fearing the radiation would harm her body. So, she usually passed the time by drinking ginseng water, practicing swordsmanship, reading books, and occasionally meditating.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, she began to speak at length, “I was a teacher who came to Laoying Village to teach several years ago. Luo Da took a liking to me, but after I rejected him, he became resentful and raped me. He thought that this would make me marry him. How ridiculous, how ridiculous! I would rather die than marry him. I was going to sue him for raping me, but unexpectedly, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, he killed me and dumped my body in the pond. I hate it, I hate it so much!”

"Didn't your parents come looking for you?" Ma Lihua asked curiously.

"No, I am an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage and have no relatives or friends. After I got into university, I wanted to help more children get out of the mountains. But I never expected that I would stay in the mountains forever. So I am not reconciled. I waited for a very long time before I got an opportunity."

She paused, looked up at Huang Xiaoxiao, and continued speaking with a disdainful smile in her eyes.

"After killing me, Luo Da secretly buried the body and even got married. My opportunity came at just the right time. Luo Da's son, Luo Ergou, died in the pond that day, and I killed him without hesitation."

"No, you're lying. You didn't kill Er Gou. It was that lame man in the village, that man, who killed him. He threw Er Gou, who was still breathing, into the pond where you are and made it look like Er Gou drowned. It was him, he's the murderer." Huang Xiaoxiao said emotionally, her eyes filled with love for Luo Er Gou.

The three women from the Ma family were completely bewildered; there were quite a few secrets hidden in Eagle Village!

However, the details are no longer important. What matters is that Luo Ergou has become a fierce ghost, which means he has already eaten people and turned evil. This water ghost has also harmed people and become a vengeful ghost, so he is not a good person either. But Huang Xiaoxiao is actually the most innocent among the ghosts. She has never harmed or eaten anyone. It's amazing. She has lived for so many years and has not been eaten by those ghosts. Could she be a prostitute?

It has to be said that Ma Linghua guessed right. This Huang Xiaoxiao really is a female ghost who sells herself. If it weren't for her parents arranging a ghost marriage for her and getting to know Luo Ergou, she might still be living a carefree life somewhere else!

"Alright, alright, stop with your love and hate entanglements. Now it's your turn!" Ma Hehua looked at the two of them with a creepy smile.

The two shuddered. It seemed they couldn't escape it no matter what they said today, so they might as well go all out.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go. We're going to die either way, so we can't just wait to die." The water ghost changed her weak appearance, and yin energy swirled around her.

"This is the proper grandeur of a vengeful ghost! That frail appearance just now was unsettling. Aside from her daughter, she finds anyone else's frailty annoying." Ma Hehua thought to herself.

"What do you think was the point of all this charade by these people?"

"Who knows! They're probably out of their minds!"

"I don't know how those three scoundrels from the Ma family dared to make such a move."

"That's right! The women of the Ma family have a poisonous aura; they look delicious, but they'll cool you down as soon as you eat them."

"Exactly! Besides, those three never believe in ghost stories, even if they are true. It's a waste of breath to talk to people like that!"

The spirits and ghosts around them whispered among themselves, each one hiding themselves well.

These news reports about the Ma family are all summaries of the heroic sacrifices of their predecessors.

The three members of the Ma family have been quite good to them! As long as they don't harm anyone within the Black Wind Village area protected by the Ma family, they don't care about them at all. If they don't listen to instructions, they'll just send them to their deaths.

"Ding-dong………………"

The soul-capturing bell was shaken, and the two ghosts were instantly frozen in place. They didn't even need to lift a finger, did they?

Ma Hehua's eyes were filled with disdain. Did the three members of the Ma family look like idiots? Could they really get away with just any old story?

She drew her curved sword, and with a swift stroke, the victim was crushed into two balls before she could even utter a scream.

As usual, she and her mother each took one, but neither of them inhaled it. Instead, they stored them in a small porcelain bottle, each keeping their own until they had digested the yin energy in their bodies before inhaling it.

It was past ten o'clock, the moon in the sky was exceptionally round, and Black Mountain was unusually quiet. There was no chirping of insects, and the night elves in the trees did not make a sound.

Ma Lihua yawned. Her delicate body couldn't handle staying up late all the time. She looked at her grandmother and mother and said, "Grandma, let's go home! I'm sleepy."

"Okay, let's go!" Ma Linghua had just absorbed the yin energy, and one of the wrinkles on her face had disappeared, making her feel exceptionally cheerful.

Ma Hehua squatted down on the ground and said, "Girl, come up here."

"Okay, Mom!"

Ma Lihua skillfully climbed onto her mother's back. In the darkness, the figures of the three members of the Ma family gradually disappeared into the distance before the surrounding sounds began to ring out.

Black Mountain is infamous, but in the eyes of the Ma family, it is their own backyard. Black Mountain is full of great terror, but the Ma family has suppressed it tightly. Among all the spirits and ghosts, Black Mountain is a mysterious existence and a taboo, but the Ma family is an exception.

Back home, Ma Hehua did her usual routine: washing her feet in the ditch halfway up the mountain. That ditch was dug for her by Fa Gui, it was exclusively for her. Fa Gui was incredibly good to her.

But she was about to see Fa Gui soon, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her. Then someone would massage her feet every day, which made her very happy.

The next morning, Ma Linghua set up the offering table and took out the bag containing the fierce ghost, placing it on the offering table.

She then placed the prepared food on the table. The incense in the incense burner had gone out, but she glanced at it and thought, "It's alright, it will be available again when the pear blossoms are lit."

When Ma Lihua woke up, she looked at the offering table and then heard her grandmother say to her, "Lihua, my little darling! In a little while, you should offer the first ghost you catch to the ancestral grandmother so that she can bless you with good fortune and good health in the future."

Upon hearing "health," Ma Lihua's eyes lit up. This was wonderful! It would be great if her delicate body could return to normal. She would have to offer incense properly and with utmost sincerity.
