Upon hearing Li Mao's words, his usually gentle and virtuous wife gave him a rare eye roll, and then spat twice.
"Children's words are innocent and easily forgotten, but the wind blows them away."
"Honey, I'm not trying to be mean, but you can make any kind of joke, how could you curse your father-in-law? He's been alive and well all along!"
"What?!" Li Mao was clearly stunned when he saw his wife's serious expression.
"But... but honey, I didn't joke about my own father!"
"He was, he was..." Seeing that his wife was a little angry, Li Mao quickly shut up and dared not argue anymore.
I even started to doubt myself: Could it be that I'm remembering wrong? Is my father really still alive?
Just then, Li Mao suddenly felt a chill and subconsciously tightened his clothes.
"Oh my god, I'm dead, why am I still cold? What's going on... Wait, a chilling wind!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a howling wind came from the alley entrance.
Dozens of figures slowly emerged from the cold wind, most of them elderly, but also some middle-aged people and children.
This scene terrified Li Mao: in his memory, these people were clearly dead long ago!
Some of them have even been dead for decades!
"How could this be?!" Li Mao rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he subconsciously took a slow step back.
He protected his wife and stepped back.
"Wait, where's my wife?!"
Li Mao hurriedly searched, only to find his wife and Qi Zhigang and his wife already heading towards the "dead bodies," calling out "uncle, elder brother, and sister-in-law" repeatedly.
It was clearly a greeting to the dead.
Not only the three mentioned above, but even the guests who were eating stood up and greeted the dead people warmly.
It's as if they didn't know they were already dead.
"Wife!!"
Li Mao has always been filial and dotes on his wife. He tried to pull her back, but Liao Zhiyuan grabbed him instead.
"Brother Li, don't be impulsive, something's wrong!"
Li Mao knew something was wrong, and just as he was about to say something, he saw even more "dead people" walking out of the alley.
The dead who came this time had died even earlier.
Even his grandfather, Li Lianying, and those old devils who preached the faith.
What shocked Li Mao the most was that, apart from his team, namely Zhao Youliang and others, everyone else seemed unfazed by the sight of these old ghosts.
They greeted us with the same enthusiasm as before, almost as if they were claiming an elderly person as their own.
"What the hell... quantum, what's going on?"
"Are we all dead, or are they all alive?!"
Zhao Youliang slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
While protecting Sister-in-law Yingchun, he gently kicked the big yellow dog that was still "doing its own thing" and gnawing on ribs under the table.
"Sir, sir, do you know what the situation is right now?"
The big yellow dog ignored Zhao Youliang, just snorted and gave him a big eye roll.
The meaning is crystal clear: "What does this have to do with me!"
Since he couldn't get help from the "dog," Zhao Youliang had no choice but to resort to the "eggs."
"Egg Boy, Egg Boy..."
Before Zhao Youliang could finish speaking, Chang Jie chimed in listlessly, "You forgot about quantum mechanics? I'm blind."
"And he's really blind."
"However, I feel it should be..."
"It's a fusion of Yin and Yang, with a hundred ghosts roaming at night; the living are neither alive nor dead... just like the legendary Fengmen Village!" Little White Crow chimed in.
Their clan originally lived on the edge of life and death, so naturally they knew a lot.
"When Yin and Yang combine, a hundred ghosts roam at night? Then we... we probably can't win." Zhao Youliang became even more cautious upon hearing this.
"Even if we can win, we can't fight with our fellow villagers."
“Yes!” Li Mao agreed with Zhao Youliang’s words.
"Quantum, no matter how good our relationship is, if you dare to mess with my dad, I'll fight you!"
"If I'm like this, then the rest of the town must be even more so."
"If we attack someone's ancestors, they'll fight us to the death!"
In just a few words, Qi Zhigang and his wife, along with the barbecue enthusiasts, had led all the dead bodies to empty seats.
These dead people appear to be just as they were when they were alive, smiling and pandering to ordinary people.
In reality, they all wore ghastly green faces and kept a close eye on Zhao Youliang's gang.
Zhao Youliang was a bachelor, and was about to lash out when Li Mao, who had an even more volatile temper, beat him to it.
The guy grinned and walked forward, then plopped down in the middle of the old ghosts—the group of old ghosts his grandfather was preaching to.
"Hey old folks, you're all seasoned veterans. Who are you trying to scare by showing off a dead man's head?"
"If you piss us off, believe me, we'll bring our grandfather back and have him continue preaching to you?"
"Look at you guys, acting like everyone has a few dead people in their family!"
As expected, Li Mao's words instantly broke the old ghosts' composure, and they chuckled and put away their ghostly appearances.
"Haha, little hat, don't misunderstand, we brothers didn't do it on purpose."
"After all, the atmosphere has been set up, it would be a waste not to cooperate!"
"Oh, by the way, where's your grandpa? How come he suddenly disappeared?"
"That old bastard is such a devil, he's made it so that we can't be reincarnated now."
Knowing that his grandfather was in the wrong, Li Mao quickly changed the subject.
"Gentlemen, do you know how we got here?"
"How did you manage to make everyone think you were still alive?"
Upon hearing this, an old ghost hurriedly shook his head.
"Little hat, we don't have that kind of ability, we're just benefiting from your kindness."
"The fissure in the ground has opened up, and it's even along the dragon vein."
"In addition, a master performed a ritual...we were forced to come back."
"Otherwise, who would harm their own descendants, right? Living among humans and ghosts is bad for everyone!"
"Is a master secretly performing magic? Another new boss has appeared?!" Li Mao was stunned upon hearing this.
"How high is a master? Compared to quantum mechanics..." Before Li Mao could finish speaking, Zhao Youliang interrupted with a serious expression.
"Taller than me, at least three stories taller!"
As they spoke, the eerie wind blowing from the alley grew even stronger, whistling and causing the tree branches to sway.
Even a fool... even Li Mao would know that in this situation, something even more powerful is about to emerge.
"Li Mao, where are the cannons the young general gave you?"
"Take it out quickly and set it up at the alley entrance!"
"No matter what kind of weird thing comes out later, shoot it first!"
Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's words, Li Mao was taken aback at first, but then immediately followed his instructions without hesitation.
"Quantum, you're still the one who's unethical... Smart, let's do it this way!"
"Damn it, if we don't show the enemy what we're made of, they won't know that Lord Horse has three eyes!"
