"Then next time you'll have to remember what you should and shouldn't say, because loose lips sink ships."
"I know, I know, ah... don't come any closer!" The bamboo shaman nodded haphazardly, and the moment she opened her eyes, she met Jiang Hua's face. Unable to bear the shock, she fainted from fright.
"She's really easily frightened." Jiang Hua put away her flashlight, brushed the hair that was covering her face, and looked at the unconscious Bamboo Goddess on the ground with a disgusted expression.
"Are you going back?" Jiang Xingzhou asked as he walked in.
"What are we going back for? The night is still long. Let's go to Xu Dagui's house," Jiang Hua said with a smile.
Unlike the Bamboo Goddess's house, Xu Dagui's house was bustling with activity at this moment.
Jiang Hua listened expressionlessly to the passionate and high-spirited shouts coming from the east room.
Following my memory, I went around to the back of the Xu family's house, where there was a window on the wall behind the house.
Jiang Hua looked at the window, which was two heads taller than her. Before she could say anything, Jiang Xingzhou picked her up.
Mrs. Xu, who was already unable to sleep due to the noise from the two Xus, was tossing and turning in bed.
As the faint moonlight shone in, Madam Xu glanced up at the window, where a face appeared.
Thinking I had misread it because I was confused, I rubbed my eyes and looked at it again.
"Ah—! A ghost, a ghost!" Madam Xu was so frightened that she rolled off the bed.
Xu Dagui, who was fighting hard, was so frightened by his mother's scream that he almost lost his erection.
He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the inner room with an impatient look on his face.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Xu Dagui asked, knocking on the door.
Even Lin Shuyan, who was sleeping in the next room, was awakened and got up to see what was going on.
"Grandma, open the door!" Lin Shuyan called out worriedly.
The two called out from outside the door for a long time, but there was no response from Madam Xu.
"Uncle, has something happened to Grandma?" Lin Shuyan asked anxiously.
After all, in this family, Madam Xu truly dotes on her; she mustn't have something happen to her now.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dagui was furious and immediately kicked open the tightly closed door.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Lin Shuyan saw the trembling Xu Shi huddled in the corner as soon as she entered the room.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you sleeping at this hour? What are you doing curled up here?"
"Ghosts! There are ghosts there!" Madam Xu stretched out her withered finger and pointed tremblingly at the empty window.
"What the hell? Where's the ghost? Mom, are you having a nightmare and you're still half asleep?" Xu Dagui said impatiently.
There was clearly nothing there when we followed the direction pointed to by Madam Xu.
It seems his mother is getting more and more confused. Xu Dagui, who was in a good mood, lost his temper after being disturbed by his mother.
Instead of sleeping at night, you're here playing tricks on people.
Despite his anger, Xu Dagui still helped Madam Xu to bed.
“Da Gui, it’s true. Her head just appeared at the window. Her hair was so long. Her face was white, her lips were red, and there were two lines of bloody tears on her face.”
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Madam Xu described it to them again.
"Enough, Mother, stop talking." Xu Dagui interrupted Madam Xu.
"I'm going to go see who's playing tricks right now!"
After saying that, Xu Dagui stormed out of the courtyard and went around to the back of the house. It was pitch black and there was nothing there, let alone any ghosts.
"Mom, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. I have to go to work in the fields tomorrow," Xu Dagui said impatiently.
"Da Gui... Da Gui!" Madam Xu watched helplessly as her son left without any mercy.
"Grandma, why don't you sleep in my inner room tonight?" Lin Shuyan suggested.
"Perfect timing, Grandma, it's been a long time since you've slept with me."
"Good, Yan Yan is still the most filial to her grandmother!" With that, Madam Xu immediately took the pillow and blanket to Lin Shu Yan's room.
Lin Shuyan followed behind Madam Xu, her eyes filled with disdain.
Even if she didn't ask, Madam Xu would make her stay overnight with her.
Looking at the dirty bedding in Madam Xu's room, she couldn't bring herself to lie down. She thought it better to take the initiative and let Madam Xu remember her kindness.
Only after arriving at Lin Shuyan's room and lying down did Madam Xu feel at ease, still shaken by the experience.
"Grandma, did you have a nightmare just now?" Lin Shuyan, who was lying next to Madam Xu, was also wide awake and asked casually.
“Yan Yan, I really didn’t see wrong just now. It wasn’t a nightmare. I was kept awake by noise and accidentally saw a head with long hair suddenly appear at the window,” Madam Xu said firmly.
"Grandma, why don't we go see the Bamboo Sage again tomorrow to see what's going on?"
Hearing what Madam Xu said, Lin Shuyan felt a little scared.
"I'll go see the Bamboo Goddess tomorrow." Without Lin Shuyan reminding her, Madam Xu had already made up her mind.
The two chatted in bed until late into the night, when Lin Shuyan finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Madam Xu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, until dawn, when she immediately got up.
The noise of Madam Xu getting up woke up Lin Shuyan, who was fast asleep.
"Grandma, are you getting up so early to go to the Bamboo Goddess's place?" Lin Shuyan also sat up from the bed: "Grandma, let me go with you. Let Aunt sleep a little longer."
"Yan Yan, your aunt and I don't need to go," said Madam Xu.
Speaking of Madam Xu, I don't think I saw her come over last night; only her son and Yan Yan came.
"Fine, that wretched woman! Her own mother-in-law is frightened, yet she remains indifferent and won't even come to check on her," said Madam Xu angrily as she stormed towards Madam Xu's east room.
However, it wasn't that Xu didn't want to come; it was just that Xu Dagui, who had just reached the climax of his mother's screams, suddenly became impatient and finished her off in a few strokes, causing her to faint from the pain.
"You bitch, get up right now!" Madam Xu pushed open the door and threw off the covers without saying a word.
"Mother, what are you doing now?" Xu Dagui asked angrily, startled awake.
"What's wrong, Mother-in-law? It's not time to get up and make breakfast yet?" Xu quickly grabbed the quilt and covered herself, asking in confusion.
"It's alright, Da Gui, you can continue sleeping. I'm going to ask Madam Xu to go out for a bit." Madam Xu was still a little afraid of her eldest son.
Seeing Xu Dagui lie down again and cover his head with the blanket, Madam Xu changed her tone and said to Madam Xu:
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat! Get up now! Aren't you ashamed? You're not even dressed!"
"I understand, Mother-in-law." Madam Xu didn't dare to dawdle and got up, dressed, and came out.
"Yan Yan, why are you up so early too?" Xu Shi came out of the house and saw Lin Shu Yan already standing in the yard.
"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?" Madam Xu said irritably, then turned to Lin Shuyan as if she were a different person and spoke gently:
