Chapter 191 Trying to Cling to the Lin Family
Then, they selected a few young men from the village to go down and pull Lin Daguang out of the water.
The surrounding villagers were afraid that Lin Zhousheng would target them, so they kept retreating.
It's not that they lacked kindness, but rather that a fat man like Lin Daguang, weighing over 200 pounds, was stuck in the mud and it was difficult to pull himself out.
Finally, it was the few strong young men that Lin Zhousheng had specifically called upon who went down and painstakingly pulled Lin Daguang out of the mud like pulling up a radish.
"There's a ghost, there's a ghost..." Lin Daguang woke up when several young men helped him ashore.
The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to scream wildly, saying there was a ghost.
The villagers who were watching felt a chill run down their spines when they heard Lin Daguang's words, and they instinctively moved away from the fishpond.
Thinking to myself: Lin Daguang, that unlucky guy, actually ran into that thing.
"Alright, enough of this noise in the middle of the night. You're not sleeping, but we are." Lin Zhousheng immediately spoke up to stop Lin Daguang from shouting and yelling.
“Village chief, village chief, I’m not lying, I really am not lying, I saw it, I really saw it…” Startled awake by Lin Zhousheng’s voice, Lin Daguang glanced at the crowd around him and continued to speak to Lin Zhousheng.
Her body trembled in response, as if the fear inside her had not yet dissipated.
"Ah!" Just when everyone thought Lin Daguang was just drunk and talking nonsense, another scream came from not far away, instantly raising the already frightened hearts of the surrounding villagers.
"Village chief, I'm really not lying to you, there really are ghosts. This voice is Lin Daji's, and Lin Daji is also being haunted..." Lin Daguang heard it too, and remembering that he had just been chased by two ghosts, his body trembled even more violently.
"That's utter nonsense. Now that you're awake, you should hurry home." Although he said that, Lin Zhousheng did believe it to some extent.
But seeing the fear on the faces of the surrounding villagers, Lin Zhousheng quickly scolded Lin Daguang before he could finish speaking and led the villagers toward the source of the screams.
When the villagers heard Lin Daguang say he had seen a ghost, they didn't want to stay by the fishpond for even a minute longer.
Now that the village chief is leaving, they run faster than rabbits.
The fishpond, which was just crowded with people, was suddenly deserted, leaving only the big fat man, Lin Daguang, lying on the ground.
"Hey, wait for me! Don't leave me behind! Wait for me..."
Seeing that the villagers had all left, Lin Daguang no longer wanted to stay in this terrifying place, nor did he dare to go home alone. He quickly got up from the ground and hurriedly followed in their footsteps.
"Ah!" Before the villagers could get close, they heard Lin Daji scream again, the scream startling everyone.
"Village chief, should we not go?" The villagers who came out to look for people had heard Lin Daguang's words and now heard Lin Daji's screams. They felt that tonight was very unusual and did not want to follow.
"Since we're already out here, let's go see what it is, or if someone is pretending to be a ghost to scare people..." Lin Zhousheng didn't want to go either. The key was that they were already out here, and knowing that someone was in trouble ahead, it wouldn't be right not to go.
When Xie Hanchuan heard footsteps approaching, and saw Li Lin Daji hanging upside down, his face flushed but his body trembling with fear, a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"I'll remember you. I'll come back to see you tomorrow!" With that, Xie Hanchuan left gracefully, leaving Lin Daji hanging upside down in the tree.
Upon hearing this, Lin Daji finally couldn't bear it any longer and fainted.
"Look, it looks like someone has fallen on that big banyan tree..." So many things have happened tonight. First, Lin Daguang said he saw something and ran into the fishpond.
Now that they saw a figure hanging under the big banyan tree, the villagers' psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Upon seeing a person collapsed under the large banyan tree where they often sat, some timid villagers turned and ran home, never daring to approach the banyan tree again.
The bolder villagers followed Lin Zhousheng, crowding together and slowly approaching the banyan tree.
Under Lin Zhousheng's torchlight, a flushed face came into view.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, it really is Lin Daji..." The villagers exclaimed in disbelief as they recognized the person hanging upside down under the banyan tree as Lin Daji.
After all, given Lin Daji's current height, ordinary people like them couldn't do it. Moreover, the thing binding Lin Daji looks like the roots of a banyan tree.
Could it be that this banyan tree has become a spirit, and seeing that Lin Daji has done too many bad things, it has decided to teach Lin Daji a lesson?
The villagers who shared the same idea all hid behind Lin Zhousheng.
"What a bunch of cowards." Lin Zhousheng saw that the villagers had all hidden behind him, leaving him nowhere to hide. He was scared too, but he still cursed at the villagers to show his bravado.
His eyes searched through the crowd, but he couldn't see Lin Dayou's family, especially Lin Luoxi. He felt like crying.
Given how high up the tree was, and the fact that he felt the banyan tree was possessed by a spirit, he dared not climb it.
But the person is from their village, and he can't just stand by and watch them die; he's now in a dilemma.
“Village chief, I know the village chief is the most daring…” The villagers were not annoyed by Lin Zhousheng’s scolding, and even praised him.
"Go home and get a ladder, saving lives is the priority." Seeing that the villagers were also scared, he was too embarrassed to ask them to go up, so this was the only solution he could think of.
By the time the villagers went home to fetch ladders and rescued Lin Daji, the east was already beginning to lighten.
Lin Zhousheng reached out and found that Lin Daji was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief and, together with two villagers, carried Lin Daji back to Aunt Pang's house.
"Oh dear, my son, what's wrong with you?"
The fat aunt suggested that her son go to Lin Dayou's house to do something naughty. She waited at home all night but did not see her son return. Just as she was about to say that she was going to go back to her room to catch up on sleep, she saw Lin Zhousheng return with his son.
They thought his son had been found by Lin Dayou and beaten into this terrible state, and they rushed over to pounce on his son.
The enormous size of his mother pressed down on Lin Daji, who had been unconscious, and woke him up.
"A ghost! A ghost..." Lin Daji looked at the enormous body pressing down on him, thinking it was something else, and began to struggle and scream.
My eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets from fear, and the whites of my eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious I'd been terrified all night.
She struggled desperately with both hands and feet, and in the struggle, slaps and kicks were all delivered to the fat aunt, making a loud banging sound.
"Slap!" The loud slap echoed loudly in Aunt Pang's yard.
