At this time, everyone in Li Village gathered at Li Genting's house. Firstly, they were afraid of encountering bad luck at home. Secondly, the third uncle ordered everyone to take their bowls and wait for Uncle Li to bring the envoy to give them holy water.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was setting slowly. The villagers were getting more nervous than ever. If it got dark, it would be troublesome.
Zhang Guilan had woken up by this time and was hiding behind the crowd, shivering. From time to time, she glanced at the coffin placed in the middle.
The third uncle took three older people to sit aside and smoked their pipes. The four of them chatted casually.
A 65-year-old man named Li Huaigen with a short beard looked at Zhang Guilan and cursed
"Li Laowu was truly blind to allow such a disaster into his family. His son deserves it, an ungrateful bastard!"
Another old man named Li Huaimin also spoke up.
"That's right! I insisted on adopting this ungrateful bastard, and now this is what happened to me."
There was only one old man named Li Huaipu squatting there without saying a word. He was Li Laowu's cousin and they had a close relationship.
Li Laowu's real name is Li Huaide. He has never been able to find a wife in his life. He is almost 38 years old and has no hope of working outside. He is just thinking about living in the village. Unexpectedly, he picked up an abandoned baby and adopted him as his son. He named him Li Genting. He raised this adopted son for 30 years and helped him find a wife. He originally thought that life would be better, but he never thought that his son was an ungrateful person. He ended up like this in his later years. It is really sad.
The third uncle knocked out the ashes from his pipe and coughed dryly.
"You two should shut up! You're cousins after all. Now that things have happened, figure out what to do next. Don't forget this happened fifty years ago. How many people died? Eighteen! Eighteen people died tragically back then."
After that, the three of them were silent.
The events of fifty years ago were still fresh in their minds, and a similar incident happened again today. All four of them were filled with sadness.
The four old men were just watching the group of people walking around, wondering what they were thinking.
Another hour passed, and Uncle Li still hadn't returned. A few young villagers, feeling a bit irritated, ran to the hall and started cursing at Zhang Guilan.
"It's all your fault, you two, this vicious couple. You killed Fifth Master, and he still harbored resentment even after his death. Now that bastard is being killed by Fifth Master. If Fifth Master comes again tonight, I will push you up and let Fifth Master kill you too to vent his anger. Maybe when Grandpa's resentment is gone, he won't come back again."
"That's right! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and you two vicious couple should pay with your lives. This matter has nothing to do with us. If anything happens to us, I will be the first one to not forgive you."
"You two evil-hearted couple will not have a good death."
As they were talking, two people rushed over and tried to drag Zhang Guilan out.
It was already dark, and everyone was terrified and at a loss. The disturbance caused by these young people made them even more irritable and uneasy.
Zhang Guilan was frightened by the two and screamed continuously, her voice was sharp and piercing
Third uncle shouted angrily
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you making trouble now? Sit down and wait for Wenda to invite the people from the church back."
"Even if you kill her now, it's useless. Li Laowu won't let anyone go. You guys, who are usually cold and heartless, are afraid now."
The young men sat back in their seats in disappointment.
Zhang Guilan was dragged by several people and was a little confused.
Especially when it gets dark, she looks around in fear, afraid that Li Laowu will suddenly appear beside her and bite her to death.
Everyone looked at her coldly, with an inexplicable fierce light flashing in their eyes.
This group of people originally thought that Li Laowu and his adopted son and his wife could live however they wanted and it had nothing to do with them. No one expected that Li Laowu was so resentful that he turned into a weird person and came back to take their lives, and even implicated them. This made this group of people very angry.
Suddenly, there was a burst of horse hoofbeats. Everyone stood up and listened to the sound, which seemed to be the footsteps of four horses.
Third Uncle asked Li Tongbing, Daqiang and Erqiang to go and welcome the people.
The three of them rushed over with flashlights, looking around along the way, afraid that something terrifying or strange would suddenly appear.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the road was dark. When the three of them arrived at the entrance of Li Village, they saw Uncle Li and three people from the church riding towards them on horseback.
They raised their flashlights above their heads and waved them
The four horsemen saw the flashlight shining into the sky and knew that someone was waiting there, so they drove their horses over.
When Li Tongbing saw the person coming, he felt relieved and secretly felt lucky that he was saved tonight.
Three people came from the church, two men and one woman, with some holy instruments on horseback to deal with strange things, and a kettle filled with holy water.
They didn't have time to exchange greetings and immediately went to Li Genting's house.
Just when I was halfway there, I heard Zhang Guilan's terrifying scream, the sound coming from near and then getting farther away.
"Ah...don't come over here."
"Don't come near me, you old thing."
"Ah... Help me, someone please save me..."
The seven people on the road quickened their pace and saw Zhang Guilan running away in the distance.
Three young men came out of the house and happened to meet the seven people.
"Uncle Li, you're back! Come in quickly."
Uncle Li frowned deeply, and asked the three people what was going on while leading the church people to Li Genting's home.
"That vicious woman has gone crazy. She started going crazy as soon as the clock struck nine. She said she saw the Fifth Master coming back to take her life, and then she ran away."
