Wang Dazhu's legs were shaking.
"Dad, if we don't leave now, are you going to stay here and get eaten?" Wang Hu didn't care about crying at this moment; of course, his life was more important.
Although he is usually a bit carefree, he is still very clear-headed when it comes to life and death!
"I..." Seeing his son's anxious eyes, Wang Dazhu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head firmly and said, "No, you should go find that girl from the Lin family and see if she can think of a solution! If she can't think of a solution either, you should stay at her house. Even if you become her child husband, don't come back."
He was afraid that if he and Wang Hu both left, they would become too conspicuous, and neither of them would be able to escape.
Wang Hu: "..."
Dad, what kind of inappropriate and lewd words are you saying?
"Then, what about you?" Although Wang Hu liked Lin Wanyue, he couldn't bear to leave his parents.
Wang Dazhu looked towards the kitchen: "You'd better hurry up, or we'll all be dead! Your mother can't handle this by herself, I'll go help her out."
As he spoke, he walked towards the small kitchen.
The kitchen seemed to be packed with people, yet it also seemed like there were only two people.
"Waaah... Alright! Father, Mother, wait for me!" Upon hearing this, Wang Hu wiped his eyes, sniffed, and ran towards the Lin family.
He ran quickly to the Lin family's house and started banging on the door.
Lin Weiming was still sleepy, feeling like he was dreaming. After all, who would be so bored as to come to their house in the middle of the night?
But the person outside was very persistent and kept knocking.
“Someone is here…” Xuefu was also woken up and nudged the man next to her, “Go and see.”
"..."
Lin Weiming had no choice but to reluctantly leave his warm bed, put on his coat, and then open the door with a long face.
Upon opening the door, one sees Wang Hu with his face covered in tears and snot.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Weiming didn't like Wang Hu very much, but seeing him crying like this and coming to his door in the middle of the night, he must have encountered some urgent matter.
"Uncle Lin, my house is haunted... Could you please call for Wanwan? My parents are going to be eaten by ghosts." Wang Hu's tears fell in large drops to the ground. He was scared and cold, and his whole body was trembling as he spoke.
Is there a ghost in the house?
"Wait a minute, I'll call Wanwan over right now." He didn't doubt Wang Hu's words.
It was already unusual for Wang Hu to appear crying at this time.
Moreover, everyone in the village knows that Wang Hu is the apple of Wang Dazhu and Zhao Chunniang's eye. The fact that the couple didn't show up when he cried like this clearly indicates that something is even more wrong.
If it really is a ghost!
It's hard to say whether he'll die.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
Wang Dazhu and Zhao Chunniang were acquaintances in the village, so Lin Weiming couldn't possibly leave them unattended.
When Lin Wanyue was lifted out of bed by her father, she was still half asleep. Rubbing her eyes, she looked at him and asked, "What are you doing, Daddy... are you sleepwalking?"
"It wasn't me." Lin Weiming wrapped the tiger-skin coat around Lin Wanyue's body.
As soon as he stepped outside, Wang Hu burst into tears and said, "Sister Wanwan, that... that starving ghost in our house, she... she brought even more ghosts with her! We didn't open the door for her, and she smashed it down and ran in!"
"Waaah, my parents are cooking for him right now... What should we do? If he doesn't get enough to eat, will he eat my parents? Wanwan, please, please save my parents! I beg you."
"Good boy, don't cry." Xuefu saw that Lin Weiming had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned yet, so she was also upset. She saw Wang Hu crying pitifully, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped Wang Hu's tears.
However, she dared not guarantee whether Lin Wanyue could handle the starving ghosts so late at night.
"Oh... then I'll go with you to take a look." Lin Wanyue yawned.
"Don't move, Dad will carry you with me. It's cold outside." Lin Weiming thought for a moment, then wrapped Lin Wanyue in a big coat, carried her in his arms, and headed towards the Wang family.
Wang Hu followed behind, huffing and puffing, wearing one of Lin Zheyun's clothes as well.
He was in such a hurry at home that he didn't even remember to wear warm clothes when he left. It was windy and cold at night, and he sneezed several times at the Lin family's house.
Xuefu found some of Lin Zheyun's clothes, who were about the same age as her, and draped them over her.
...
When the three of them arrived at the Wang family's house, Lin Wanyue saw that the door had been pushed down and was in a dilapidated state.
Doors, in many cases, possess a special power.
Even a broken door cannot be easily entered by ghosts or spirits without the owner's permission.
Lin Wanyue originally thought that the Wang family's gate would be able to hold off that little starving ghost, so she just let them drive him away and didn't take any further precautions.
But unexpectedly, that little hungry ghost brought several big hungry ghosts with him!
That's not enough to stop them with just one door.
As soon as you walk in, you can hear the smacking sounds of people eating.
And the soft clattering of bowls and chopsticks against each other.
“That’s enough…you still want to eat? You’ve already eaten ten bowls! My family really doesn’t have that much food left…” Zhao Chunniang cried as she cooked.
She had just steamed a large pot of rice as quickly as possible and stir-fried two dishes. She didn't expect these ghosts to eat so fast, even faster than that little girl. It was as if they were pouring scalding hot food down their throats, seemingly unafraid of getting burned.
