Chapter 234 Shen Dazhuang Becomes a Water Ghost
"Xiao Wan, Shen, Shen Dazhuang crawled into the pond and drowned."
Shen Wan's expression changed: "When did it happen?"
"Tonight is his seventh day of death... Xiao Wan, you have to be careful. When Shen Dazhuang died, he left a blood letter saying that he would make you pay with blood. You must not leave home, let alone go near the water. Stay at home!"
Aunt Cui's voice on the other end was shaking. It was obvious that something had happened and she didn't dare to tell her everything.
After Chen Wan hung up the phone, he immediately summoned the five ghosts to carry the sedan chair back to Niutougou.
Niutougou is shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
The whole village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and the smell of damp and rot floated in the air.
There are two white lanterns hanging on the door of Shen Dazhuang's house.
The white lanterns swayed in the cold wind, and the pale color made people feel creepy.
It was broad daylight, but there was no one on the village roads and every household had their doors closed.
Chen Wan knew at a glance that Shen Dazhuang must have committed suicide by drowning, and came back to settle accounts with Aunt Cui and those who had laughed at him.
She got out of the sedan at the door, which was locked from the inside.
Knocked a few times.
Aunt Cui's nervous voice came from inside, "Who, who?"
Shen Wan said in a clear voice: "Aunt Cui, it's me."
"Xiao Wan?" Aunt Cui didn't expect her to come so quickly, so she quickly opened the door and pulled her in.
"Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why are you here?"
Shen Wan saw that Aunt Cui looked haggard and her eyes were dark blue. It was obvious that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
"Go ahead and speak!"
Aunt Cui carefully peeked out, then nervously closed the door and locked it.
She was like a frightened bird.
Aunt Cui led her into the house.
There were only candles and incense burning in the main hall, and a pot of unburned gold and silver ingots.
It was obvious that Aunt Cui was burning gold ingots for Shen Dazhuang.
"Aunt Cui, tell me what happened."
Aunt Cui poured her a cup of tea and said in a low voice with annoyance and trepidation, "I didn't expect Shen Dazhuang to commit suicide."
"I never thought that he would sneak out while I was in town to go to market, crawl to the pond and dive in and drown."
"When I came back and found he was not at home, I immediately mobilized the villagers to look for him. As a result, we found him in the puddle of water in the back mountain. He was swollen and swollen. It was scary."
"I didn't dare bring his body back, so I set up a shed at the entrance of the village and buried him simply."
"I didn't expect something bad would happen after the burial. The chickens, ducks, geese and other animals raised in the village died tragically for no reason. Regardless of day or night, the dogs in the village were barking, as if they were frightened. They were barking in panic."
Aunt Cui lowered her voice even more, "Also, it hasn't rained in the past few days, but there is a water mark on the road outside, like a wet person dragging his body on the road. The water mark has been to every household. Now everyone in the village is in panic. They keep their doors closed most of the time and dare not go out."
"Everyone suspected that Shen Dazhuang had returned, but the villagers had never provoked him. If he wanted revenge, he could just come to me. Why did he do these things to scare everyone?"
Aunt Cui didn't understand.
Shen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aunt Cui, you should have told me earlier."
"I'm afraid of scaring you. Today is his seventh day. Xiao Wan, leave Niutougou now while it's still light!"
"Aunt Cui, what are you going to do?"
"I am already half buried in the ground. I am not afraid of death. After I die, I will become a ghost. Shen Dazhuang is a cripple and he cannot beat me."
Aunt Cui said this and stood up and asked her to leave.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “Aunt Cui, I forgot to tell you that I can catch ghosts.”
Aunt Cui was stunned: "Ah?"
"You can catch ghosts? Xiao Wan, are you kidding me? Aunt Cui doesn't know you well enough. How can you catch ghosts?"
"I really can, so you don't have to be afraid. If Shen Dazhuang dares to come tonight, I will take care of him."
Aunt Cui didn't believe that she could catch ghosts, and thought that Shen Wan was worried that she would be scared, so he found an excuse to stay with her.
"Xiao Wan, you are still young. You don't need to get entangled with this kind of bastard. Aunt Cui was beaten by him for most of her life. When he was paralyzed, Aunt Cui also thought clearly. There is nothing to be afraid of Shen Dazhuang. The worst that can happen is that we can fight him to the death."
"You finally get to live in the city, so don't let him influence you. Go now."
Chen Wan knew that it was useless to say more, so he simply took out the talisman paper and threw it into the air.
The talisman paper instantly burned in the void, forming a spell emitting golden light.
Aunt Cui was stunned: "This is..."
"Aunt Cui, do you believe me now?" Shen Wan said with a smile, "Tonight, let Shen Dazhuang see what it means to be worse off than dead."
Aunt Cui's eyes were red. "Okay, okay, Xiao Wan, you have really made it. I am relieved about you."
After knowing that Chen Wan was a master of metaphysics, Aunt Cui felt at least half relieved.
The two went to the yard to pick some vegetables and made a simple home-cooked meal.
With Chen Wan's company, Aunt Cui relaxed a little and talked about her life in Jiangcheng.
Knowing that Shen Wan had broken up with the Shen family, Aunt Cui sighed: "Actually, when your grandfather came to take you away last year, I didn't quite agree."
"But compared to living with someone like Shen Dazhuang, it seems better to go to the Shen family."
Shen Wan was curious why Aunt Cui had such an idea.
Aunt Cui said truthfully: "Before your grandfather came to pick you up, a woman came to Niutougou to investigate you."
"The woman was dressed very nicely and looked like a wealthy lady. She asked me about my past and I told her the truth. But the way she looked at me really made me uncomfortable. It was as if she looked down on us country folks. She even pinched her nose when she spoke to me, but I didn't stink."
"Later I found out that she was the wife your father later married."
Chen Wan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Liu Meifang has been here."
It doesn't take much thought to figure out why the Shen family hates her so much, as she had just arrived at the Shen family.
It must be Liu Meifang who did something to portray her as a bad girl with bad behavior.
Otherwise, how could one have such great malice and disgust towards a relative whom one has never met?
"Xiao Wan, I didn't expect you to be so unhappy in the Shen family this year. Fortunately, you are able to take care of yourself now, so I am relieved."
Aunt Cui looked at her with satisfaction.
Xiao Wan has become very beautiful now, with snow-white skin. She is prettier than the female stars on TV.
It can be seen that Xiao Wan takes good care of herself.
As the two chatted and laughed, night fell.
Niutougou, which was originally silent, was suddenly filled with the sound of barking dogs.
The barking of the dogs was intense and unsettling, as if something terrifying had quietly entered the village in the dark night.
Every house was brightly lit and not a single breath was allowed.
Chen Wan smelled a rotten and damp smell drifting into the main room.
She glanced outside the yard.
“Here I come.”
