Xun Xingshun immediately got up, put on a coat, grabbed a flashlight, and went out.

"What's wrong?" Xun Xingshun asked loudly as soon as the door opened. What was this child doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Gu Yu followed behind. After all, he was her own grandson, and she was afraid something might happen to him.

But as the moonlight and the flashlight illuminated the area, Gu Yu suddenly screamed and hugged Xun Xingshun tightly.

"What's wrong with you now?" Xun Xingshun had only been paying attention to his feet when he was startled by her sudden scream and hug.

“Look at the yard,” Gu Yu said tremblingly, but she hid tightly behind him, refusing to show herself.

Xun Xingshun then noticed that Li Wang was standing in the middle of their yard at some point, his hand trembling so much that he almost dropped the flashlight.

"Li Wang, what's wrong with you? It's not good to scare people like this. If you have any wishes, just say them. Although I'm just a village chief, I will definitely help if I can."

Li Wang remained the same, standing expressionless in the courtyard...

Just then, several more heads appeared on the wall, and Gu Yu, who heard the noise, was almost scared to death.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Xun Rongxia and Xun Rongqiu asked worriedly as they looked into the courtyard.

They hadn't expected Li Wang to just walk right through the door, and they immediately cried out in surprise.

The other villagers were also perched on the wall. They had thought Li Wang was just wandering around the village, but they never expected him to walk through the door.

Xun Xingshun shook his head at them and looked at Li Wang with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what was going on with him.

"You need to kick him out right now," Gu Yu said, nearly collapsing behind him. How could she possibly stay in this house anymore?

She made up her mind that once this monster left, she would immediately pack her clothes and go to the county town to stay for a while.

Fortunately, the other person only stopped for a short while and then turned around and walked out the door.

Ye Qing seemed to be thinking, "I remember Li Wang asked the village chief for leave a few days ago, it seems he left the village."

Xun Meiguang: "Yes, that's right. I even asked him to bring some things back then."

In order to find out if the other party was really as they thought, the group actually followed Li Wang to the village entrance.

After Li Wang left from the village entrance, no one dared to follow him. They knew the village well at night, but they were still a little scared if they left the village.

Before going home, Xun Rongxia and the others came to tell the old man that they were relieved to know that Li Wang had left the village. They hoped that he would leave like this and not come out to scare people anymore.

Gu Yu's face was grim. She had just made up her mind to go to the city, so why was Li Wang heading towards the mountain road? What was he planning to do?

He walked down the aisle, and just thinking about it was terrifying...

Xun Xingshun glanced at her, snorted, and went straight back to his room. This time, he made sure to close the door and bolt it, as he wanted to get a good night's sleep.

As for Li Wang, he doesn't seem to be planning to hurt anyone right now. We'll discuss it with the others tomorrow, and if all else fails, we'll use the method my granddaughter suggested.

Gu Yu, left in the courtyard, was speechless.

She did want to knock on the door, but besides being afraid of ghosts, she was also afraid of Xun Xingshun's temper.

Looking back at the tightly closed door, she timidly rushed to her room as fast as she could, slammed the door shut, jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

The solution of demolishing houses in Qianjin Village to solve the problem was quickly learned by the neighboring villages, who followed suit. Sure enough, the wandering spirits at night never appeared again.

The news was also quietly spreading to nearby villages, and even Kuang Wu, who had disappeared, realized that the formation he had set up had been broken.

After some investigation, we arrived at Qianjin Village.

Having been suspected by the village chief of Xunjia Village last time, he was not confident that the nearby villages would be unaware.

To make the performance more realistic, he even went to the county town to buy some things, carrying a full basket of goods before entering the village.

"Can I ask you if there's anyone here named Niu Dawang?" He stood outside Xu Damei's yard and peered out to ask Xu Damei, who was working there.

"No, no, you've come to the wrong place," Xu Damei said impatiently. "Go ask somewhere else."

Kuang Wu didn't leave. He put down his basket and asked with a forced smile, "He told me that his home was in this village, at the foot of Mount Huo, but I just came from there. How come it's all ruins now?"

Upon hearing him mention that place, Xu Damei's face turned pale. So many days had passed, and she had gradually forgotten about it. But this person was really annoying, bringing it up again.

"There are houses there, but they're not big or prosperous. Go ask somewhere else." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued weeding, also thinking that he would have to go to his uncle's place to burn some more paper money later, so that it wouldn't suddenly pop out and scare people in the future.

Kuang Wu: "That's impossible. I think I saw a house there last time I came here. He asked me to deliver some things. I finally managed to gather everything I needed in the city and wanted to come here to trade with him for some things..."

Xu Damei then looked up at him seriously, "You've been to Huoshan?"

Kuang Wu nodded. "I think I'm not mistaken. But how could such a nice house just disappear?"

He also asked me to bring some things, and I carried them all this way here; I can't very well carry them back, can I?

Xu Damei tossed aside the hoe, clapped her hands, and opened the courtyard gate. "What did he bring you?"

After saying that, he leaned his head towards the basket, but unfortunately the other person had covered it with a cloth, so he really didn't know what was inside.

My uncle has plenty of money, so he might actually ask someone to bring him something. As for why he used the names "Da Niu Da Wang" (meaning "Big Ox and Big Prosperous"), he's probably trying to deceive the other party.

"Did he give me all this stuff before? Did he pay for it?"

Kuang Wu said, "He gave me some things in advance, and now that I've brought them over, he still has to give me the rest."

"I've come all this way, it's not easy, and if he doesn't give me the rest of the money, he'll be the one who loses in the end. Anyway, he already gave me a deposit."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damei was overjoyed. It was like a windfall. She quickly ushered the man into the house and said, "Comrade, let's talk inside."

You just said that the house in Huoshan, if I'm not mistaken, belongs to my uncle.

It's a pity he's no longer with us. I wonder what he asked you to exchange, and how much he still owes you?

This must not be known to the other cousins. We need to see what good stuff it is first, and if it's worth it, we'll keep it for ourselves.

Kuang Wu, carrying his basket, said, "How do I know if what you're saying is true? Maybe I should go to the village and ask other people?"

Xu Damei quickly described her uncle's appearance, "Take a closer look, if you haven't gone to the wrong place, you'll find that I look a bit like my uncle."
