At daybreak, Fang Zhiyi opened his eyes. The dark wind gradually dissipated. He looked at the dawn in the east and muttered to himself, "It's almost time."
He took a step forward, heading towards the village. The first step he took made the ground tremble slightly; the second step caused the old locust tree at the entrance of the village to drop a few leaves.
As the footsteps approached, Chen Zhu, a villager living at the entrance, pressed hard against the door, but it was no use. Fang Zhiyi exerted only a slight force, and the old wooden door was completely torn apart, sending sawdust flying. Zhang Laosan, who lived next door, collapsed to the ground in fear, his fangs bared, and he was speechless.
By evening, half the villagers of Chenjia Village were dead, their blood staining the village's stone pavement red. Fang Zhiyi stopped and sat on the stone pier in front of the village ancestral hall, his huge body blocking the afterglow of the setting sun.
The surviving villagers hid in their homes, not daring to breathe. Seeing that the bear demon did not move, they dared to whisper to each other through the windows. During the communication, they found that they had all had a dream, but they had no recollection of that incident at all.
The familiar sleepiness still came over me.
That night, the villagers had another dream. In the dream, they saw some familiar faces, and the content was still cruel and horrifying.
A group of bandits looted the village, saying they were looking for a concubine for their head of the family. The villagers suddenly thought of Chen Acui. Acui was innocent and of the right age, so the village chief took the lead and tried to persuade her. Although Acui was reluctant, she agreed to sacrifice herself with tears in her eyes.
But the old blind man was so ungrateful that he actually stepped forward to stop the bandits from leaving and was killed by the leading bandit with an axe.
A Cui was taken away. They hurriedly buried the old blind man and turned around to start digging up A Cui's house and land.
The sky brightened again, Fang Zhiyi stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
He killed Chen Xiaoqi's family, and all the other villagers who appeared in his dream also died.
After doing all this, Fang Zhiyi stopped again and sat on the big millstone. This oppressive feeling almost made the surviving villagers collapse.
They also discovered one thing: the bear demon killed people according to the evil deeds they had done in their dreams! But, those things didn't happen, right?
"I think this monster came for Chen A Cui!" Someone said, "We all had nightmares, and in our dreams, there was that unlucky star! It must have been A Cui, the unlucky star, who attracted it!"
"Right! It's all Chen A Cui's fault!" someone chimed in. "If we just hand Chen A Cui over to the monster, the monster will let us go, right?"
Everyone nodded. They were extremely scared and just wanted to find a scapegoat to save their own lives.
What they didn't know was that Ah Cui and her grandmother were the only people in Chenjia Village who didn't have dreams. Ah Cui slept soundly last night, and she even dreamed that the vegetable seedlings she planted had grown taller, and her grandmother was beside her, smiling and praising her.
On the third night, he had another even more bizarre dream. In the dream, an evil demon sneaked into the village. By absorbing the evil thoughts of the villagers, the evil demon gradually became stronger. The villagers whose evil thoughts were drawn out also became crazy. A Cui was targeted by the evil demon, so the villagers cut off her flesh and blood alive.
