Kuang Wu had planned to take the village chief's jade pendant under the cover of night while he was asleep, but he did not expect to wake up so suddenly. If he hadn't been skilled in martial arts, he would have been discovered by now.
He felt a little annoyed. Why did he set up the formation during the day? He had only made things difficult for himself.
When Xun Xingshun arrived in the village, a large crowd had already gathered. Ye Qing, who had screamed earlier, was now sitting on the ground, trembling and hugging herself.
"Why are you all gathered here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Xun Xingshun strode to the center and found that there were quite a few people there, and they were all the breadwinners of their families.
These people are the village's strong laborers. If they don't sleep now, how will they have the energy to work tomorrow?
"Village Chief, you've finally arrived? I don't know what happened to Ye Qing, but he suddenly let out a scream, scaring us all out." Xun Meiguang didn't understand what was going on either; everyone had actually arrived around the same time.
Ye Qing seemed to be frightened, trembling and not saying a word.
The Xun brothers, Liangcai and Liangcai, also arrived, standing on either side of Xun Xingshun.
"Ye Qing, what exactly happened?" Xun Liangtian walked over and gently touched his back. "What exactly happened? Tell me."
The whole village has come, but you've kept silent. What are you trying to do?
Seeing that there were people all around, Ye Qing grew a little bolder and raised his pale face, "I just saw a shadow..."
He dared not continue speaking, for if someone he didn't like heard him, he might be staying at the Song Committee tomorrow.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine; that's what they were thinking...
Xun Xingshun coughed a few times, "Why are you wandering around the village in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
As the saying goes, if someone tries to scare another person, they can scare them to death.
Is someone playing a prank? If this scares someone badly, can you handle the consequences?
A moment of silence fell over the crowd, who were also wondering if Ye Qing had really misjudged the situation as the village chief had said.
Ye Qing and his brother squatted down beside him. This kid always liked to wander around the village at night. He was very brave and would never be scared by a shadow.
"You're such a scaredy-cat. Did you just see the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind?" someone mocked. "This has happened before, but I never thought you'd be scared by yourself."
Only the elderly remained silent. They had watched Ye Qing grow up; he was incredibly brave from a young age, even going to the graveyard at night to trap wild rabbits.
Ye Qing wanted to speak, but her older brother grabbed her arm. "You haven't been resting well these past few days, are your eyes playing tricks on you?"
At the same time, he gave his younger brother a meaningful look, implying that there were some things he really couldn't say.
"Maybe I'm seeing things. I don't know which bastard is up to anything, scaring people in the middle of the night. I got quite a fright." Ye Qing forced a smile, but only he knew in his heart that it wasn't true.
Seeing that he no longer mentioned it, Xun Xingshun began to urge the villagers to go home and rest, saying, "Alright, go back now. If you don't have the strength to work tomorrow, be careful I'll deduct your work points."
The young men burst into laughter, "Don't worry, village chief, we're very strong, we definitely won't give you a chance to lose points."
Before he could finish speaking, the parent behind him grabbed his ear and dragged him home, saying, "If you're so strong, then go back and tidy up the backyard again..."
"What's going on in the middle of the night...?"
With the help of his older brother, Ye Qing slowly stood up.
At this moment, he was so scared that his whole body went limp; if he didn't have some courage, he would have wet himself.
Xun Liangcai asked, "Are you alright? You don't look well." He was quite frightened.
He didn't believe in these things before, but his little niece became a disciple of a shaman, and his own bad luck gradually improved thanks to Xiangyun's talisman, so he naturally became more inclined to believe.
"I'm fine, I'll just rest for the night." He would never dare to go out in the middle of the night again, it was just too scary.
The person who was clearly dead, whose grave they helped build, has somehow appeared alive and well in front of him tonight.
It wasn't that he was a coward; at first, he also thought it was someone playing a prank, pretending to be a ghost.
He even pushed the other person, but unexpectedly, he walked right through them.
Moreover, that face was exactly the same as Uncle Li's that had left earlier; it was practically him.
“Uncle Village Chief,” Ye Qing felt she should say, “I just saw Uncle Li Wang.”
Xun Liangcai was so frightened that he hugged his arms. "Hey kid, why are you saying all this in the middle of the night? It's okay if your eyes are blurry, but don't scare me like this."
His older brother also grabbed his arm, saying, "Ye Qing, you're scared out of your mind, don't talk nonsense."
"Uncle Village Chief, this kid has a foul mouth and likes to talk nonsense, please don't take it to heart."
You can't just say things like that carelessly; you might end up losing your own family money.
Ye Qing gritted her teeth, "I know you won't believe what I'm saying, but it's true."
He left via this path before you arrived…
"You're getting cocky, aren't you?" Brother Ye covered his mouth directly. "If you don't want this mouth of yours, I'll take it apart for you later."
Xun Xingshun was looking in the direction Ye Qing had mentioned when he felt a chill run down his spine, because he had also seen the shadow Ye Qing had described.
Xun Liangcai stood close to Xun Xingshun and noticed his unusual behavior immediately.
Following his father's gaze, Ye Qing swallowed hard; he wasn't lying.
They hadn't gone far when some of the villagers who were still looking back noticed them.
At that moment, their hearts were racing like a thousand horses galloping through them...
This was Li Wang, who had just passed away. He was walking around the village as usual, but he seemed not to see them and calmly walked past them.
Then came several more screams, sealing the fate of another sleepless night.
Ye Qing felt a sharp pain in his arm as his older brother gripped it tightly, looking anxious. "I...I...I...did I see that right?"
Xun Xingshun rubbed his eyes. At this moment, Li Wang calmly walked past them, like a legendary ghost wandering in the night.
Strangely enough, Li Wang strolled through the village as usual, seemingly oblivious to the large number of people around him.
Xun Liangcai quickly clutched the jade pendant given to him by his granddaughter to his chest, only then could he find a little sense of security.
Many people have started praying to Buddha in the air, hoping to get Buddha's blessing so that this thing can be taken away quickly.
The village is haunted, and it happened right in front of so many of them.
It's said that these ghosts are afraid of living people, but there's no sign of fear here.
They're the ones who's scared, okay?
No one cared about going home; they all gathered around Xun Xingshun.
Someone asked, their voice trembling with tears, "Village chief, what do we do now?"
"Our village didn't do anything to him, could he be here for revenge?"
