When the rest of the villagers heard the news, they immediately started talking about it.
We can ignore what the child says, but now an adult also said that he saw the old man.
Could it be that the old man is really not dead?
This matter quickly caused a small-scale discussion in the village, and everyone wanted to go directly to the family's house to inquire about the situation.
But thinking that the old man's family was still immersed in the sorrow of his death these days, if they came to ask them "Is the old man dead or not", they would probably be beaten out with a carrying pole by the old man's family.
In the end, no one could figure out the reason, so they could only silently raise their vigilance in their hearts and remind their families to be careful at night.
When everyone was talking about this, they were under a big tree at the entrance of the village, and Zhou Chunshan was also present.
When Zhou Chunshan heard them say they saw the old man at night, he was the first one who didn't believe it.
He saw with his own eyes that old man fell into the water and was choked to death.
At that time, several old men agreed to go fishing together by the river, but the old man was unlucky and fell into the river.
When the old man was fished out of the water, he even checked his breath and found that he was indeed dead.
How could he appear again?
When Zhou Chunshan heard the news, he was filled with questions, but he still felt that the child and the woman must have seen it wrongly in the middle of the night.
Time quickly came to night again.
On the third night, a scream pierced the night sky, and everyone in the village was awakened by the sound.
Everyone picked up their flashlights, turned on the lights and ran outside to see what was going on.
Running towards the source of the sound, everyone soon discovered that the screams were coming from Zhou's house!
The lights in Zhou's house were brightly on at this moment, and Zhou Chunshan's eldest son was standing behind the family, trembling all over.
The fifty-year-old man, not knowing what had happened, was so scared that tears and snot were streaming down his face. The expressions of the other people in the Zhou family were quite serious.
When everyone saw this, they naturally immediately asked what had happened to the Zhou family. Since Big Boss Zhou was yelling so loudly in the middle of the night, he must have encountered something big.
Seeing so many people around, Boss Zhou told them what he had just seen with a look of horror on his face.
Just now, Boss Zhou got up to go to the bathroom. He lived on the first floor. After going to the bathroom, he subconsciously looked out the window. As a result, he found something wrong.
He actually saw a figure swaying at the door of his house!
It was the middle of the night and everyone in the village was asleep. How could anyone still be wandering around the village, and even specifically hanging around in front of other people's houses?
Boss Zhou immediately realized that this was definitely not a normal person, he must be a thief!
He originally wanted to make a noise to scare the other party away, but then he thought that the other party was already hanging around their door and might have already set his sights on his house.
If he scares the other person away now without finding out who the other person is, it will not be possible to prevent future troubles!
So he decided to sneak downstairs first, then go out from the back door, and knock the thief unconscious with a stick!
Even if you can't knock him, you can turn on the flashlight unexpectedly and see what he looks like up close.
As long as you can see clearly what the other person looks like, it will be much easier whether you call the police or arrest them.
So he picked up his stick, quietly went downstairs, and successfully escaped through the back door.
He walked around the corner and carefully looked over the wall, only to find that the man was still standing at his door.
Boss Zhou was furious. He raised his stick, turned on the flashlight, and rushed towards the figure standing at the door.
As a result, the moment the flashlight shone on the other person's face, Boss Zhou was so scared that he stopped abruptly and the stick fell to the ground instantly.
Because the person standing at his door was not a thief at all, but a dead old man!
After making sure that he was not mistaken, Boss Zhou screamed uncontrollably.
The Zhou family members in the house were awakened by his voice and got up to check. Then they saw Boss Zhou pointing at the door like an idiot, with his mouth trembling and making meaningless sounds.
“Ah, ahhhh!”
Seeing that his eldest son looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit, Zhou Chunshan slapped him on the back. Then he called his son the God of Smacks and asked him what happened.
Boss Zhou burst into tears and kept shouting that there was a ghost.
"Uncle, he's alive. He was standing at our door just now... There's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
But the other members of the Zhou family looked around the room with flashlights, but apart from Boss Zhou, they didn't see a single figure.
The old man who was standing at the door was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Boss Zhou explained in a collapsed state.
"He was just at the door. When you were going downstairs, he ran away and disappeared into the bamboo forest!"
Just as Boss Zhou finished explaining the situation to his family, the villagers rushed over after hearing the news.
After listening to Boss Zhou's story, the expressions of the others all changed.
The little boy from the day before yesterday, the woman from yesterday... this is the third person who said in my mind that he had seen the old man.
Once may be accidental, twice may be unexpected, but what about the third time?
It's impossible that all three of them were dazzled and saw it wrong!
Now everyone started to get scared.
Of course no one was afraid of this old man when he was alive, but he is dead now!
Dead people become ghosts. Who wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts?
The key point is that no one knows what is going on. They are always worried that the old man is hiding in the dark and will come out to scare people tomorrow night, or even harm people in the future.
So everyone hurried to the old man's house, knocked on the door, told them what had happened, and asked them whether the old man was dead or not and whether he was lying to them.
But after hearing this, the family became furious and scolded the people outside, saying that they were crazy.
"Are you guys crazy? Who would lie about something like this? Didn't you all come to help my dad when he was dying? Don't you know whether he's dead or not?"
"What descendant would dare to lie about something like this? Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Of course, everyone still remembers the old man's funeral and saw with their own eyes that the old man lay in the coffin for three days.
But now he appeared again! And he was seen by three people from the village.
Everyone really couldn't figure it out, and they weren't sure whether the other party was a ghost or not, so they started to suspect that the old man wasn't dead at all, and that he was just pretending before.
After being scolded by the family, the others did not dare to guess anymore and could only ask the family what to do if the old man appeared.
But the family didn't believe it at all. They said that they saw the old man being buried with their own eyes, and that there was no ghost on the mountain at all. They scolded Zhou Lao Da and the other two for being dazzled and seeing things, and then blaming their old man.
That night, the family members cursed loudly, and the others could not produce any evidence, so they had to leave the house first.
But on the first day, everyone still felt uneasy.
