Chapter 539: Scary People
Bai Shanbao was eager to move, "Is it too late to go back and change clothes now?"
Manbao asked, "Do you have any black clothes?"
Bai Shanbao's shoulders slumped, "No."
Bai Erlang and Manbao naturally didn't have any either. They were both teenagers, so who would let them wear such dark clothes?
The three of them looked at each other, then turned their heads and looked through the gaps in the firewood at Daji, who was hiding motionless in the shadows.
Daji ignored them.
The three of them gathered together and chattered. Daji's ears moved, and he reached out and knocked gently on the pile of firewood. The three people hiding inside immediately stopped talking, gathered to the front, and looked ahead nervously through the gaps.
After a rustling sound, a white figure appeared in the alley. Because of the dim moonlight, they had no idea how it appeared.
It was only when they saw a faint flash of white in the alley that they realized a ghost had appeared.
The three of them widened their eyes to see clearly, but the light in the alley was dim, and they could not see anything except the white clothes.
After a while, the three of them saw it light a fire and burn paper money, and a mournful cry came from it...
Bai Erlang trembled with fear as he watched, but Manbao was quite puzzled. He lowered his voice and asked, "Can ghosts burn paper money for themselves?"
Bai Shanbao: "And it seems to have a shadow too."
Bai Erlang was no longer so afraid.
The three of them gathered in front of the firewood pile and discussed in low voices, without disturbing the female ghost who was squatting on the ground, crying and burning paper.
But Manbao felt that she couldn't just stand there and watch, so she carefully crawled out and planned to talk to the female ghost.
Bai Shanbao pushed the motionless Bai Erlang, and he followed tremblingly.
The three of them came out, holding hands, and walked up to encourage each other, and then squatted down...
Manbao cautiously peeked forward, but didn't see the ghost's face. Seeing it still facing sideways, looking down for paper money, he couldn't help but whisper, "Where did you get your paper money?"
The female ghost stiffened and raised her head stiffly, only to see three little ghosts squatting beside her, with disheveled hair and dressed in linen clothes, all looking at her.
His hand holding the paper money began to tremble, and he looked at them with trembling lips, his face pale.
Manbao and the other two met his eyes and were all startled. They took a step back before realizing something was wrong.
Bai Shanbao looked at him suspiciously, "Male ghost?"
“Ghost—”
The "ghost" squatting on the ground finally reacted, screaming with a shrill sound, and sat down on the ground. Its limbs were weak and it took a half step back, shaking its fingers and saying, "Don't, don't come over here..."
At this moment, Manbao also heard that this was not a female ghost at all, but a man pretending to be a female ghost. She was angry, jumped up and stepped on his skirt with one foot, and said with a stern face: "You are a bad person!"
"No, no, no, I'm not a bad person, I'm not," the ghost cried bitterly, "I don't know you, your death has nothing to do with me..."
Bai Erlang was no longer afraid. He jumped up and kicked him in the chest, shouting, "So you're just pretending to be a ghost to scare people. Look, I'm going to beat you up!"
The ghost was kicked and reacted, "You, you are not ghosts, you are also human!"
He was angry, his hands were no longer soft, his feet stopped shaking, he pushed Manbao away and stood up from the ground, saying fiercely: "Where did this wild kid come from to scare me!"
He rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to hit someone.
However, will Manbao, who has a lot of fighting experience, be beaten?
She turned and ran, and the ghost chased her, but a bamboo pole came down and hit her directly on the head and face.
Zhou Silang, who was standing on a ladder inside the wall, held a long bamboo pole and shouted angrily, "How dare you bully my youngest sister? Don't you know who I am?"
After the ghost was frightened and screamed by Manbao and the others, Zhou Silang stopped shaking his hands and feet and held the bamboo pole for self-defense tightly.
Seeing the ghost being beaten, the three men turned around and ran about ten steps away, immediately took firewood from the pile, turned around and beat the ghost back.
The ghost was soon beaten so hard that he howled like a ghost, shouting, "Dad, Mom, big brother, come and save me..."
When Daji heard this, he immediately walked up to him quickly from where he was standing against the wall and slapped him in the face, which twisted his mouth and made him unable to speak. Then he dragged him into the yard.
The three children followed aggressively, but just as they reached the gate, the family across the street opened the door and came out. Seeing the person they were holding, they immediately shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
An old lady squeezed out from the back and reached out to grab their faces like a tyrant, shouting, "You're bullying us! Neighbors, come and see! The new tenant is bullying us..."
Manbao and his two younger brothers were so shocked that they forgot what to do for a moment. Daji grabbed the ghost's collar and threw him into the yard. With his other hand, he pushed the three younger brothers away, allowing them to escape the clutches of the devil.
Zhou Silang saw it clearly on the wall. He was knowledgeable and experienced. When he was a gangster, he went from village to village. What kind of strange things had he not seen?
He understood after a moment's thought, so he quickly slid down the ladder, went straight into the kitchen, took out a copper basin, and started banging it with a mallet. The whole alley could hear it in an instant.
He yelled at the top of his voice, "Everyone come and see, come and see, we have caught a ghost, come and see..."
While shouting, he found a wooden stick and gave it to Daji, asking him to keep the family opposite outside the door.
Manbao and the others were forced to retreat repeatedly, and finally reacted. They helped close the door and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Come and see, we caught the female ghost..."
"It turns out that the female ghost is a man..."
"Come and see what injustice the ghost has suffered..."
The three of them tried to close the door, and the family outside pushed it open, but Daji and Zhou Silang were standing opposite, so they couldn't push it open at all.
Manbao slammed the door shut, turned around and took off his outer linen clothes, shouting, "Quick, quick, change your clothes and tie your hair up."
The three of them didn't care that they were in the yard. They wore a lot of clothes in spring anyway, so it didn't matter if they took off the outer layer of linen clothes.
Zhou Silang handed them the copper basin, took their sackcloth and ran away. The man who was thrown to the ground just raised his head when Bai Shanbao stepped on him. He said angrily, "I told you to pretend to be a ghost and scare people. I told you to pretend to be a ghost and scare people."
Bai Erlang also remembered how he was frightened yesterday, and angrily picked up a stick to spank his buttocks, "I told you to do bad things, I told you to do bad things."
Daji was holding the gate while Manbao ran around the yard happily with a copper basin in his hand, knocking on it. After knocking, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, come and see the ghost hunting, come and see it. If you miss this time, you will never see it again..."
