Where on earth did all these wandering ghosts come from?!
"!!!" All three men were startled, as it was the first time they had ever seen so many ghosts.
Lin Weiming instinctively said, "What should we do?"
Qi Yuan and Qi Sichen had no better ideas, so they kept their eyes fixed on the ghosts outside.
Lin Wanyue had previously mentioned that the ghosts always following Qi Yuan were female, but this time it seemed different. The ghosts clinging to the wall included both men and women, as well as the old and the young. Many of them had white hair and were dressed in rags.
When it comes to seeing ghosts, Lin Weiming is clearly more knowledgeable than Qi Yuan and Qi Sichen. He even dares to take a second look and notices that many of the ghosts have rotten flesh on their bodies, revealing their white skeletons, yet they still stare at the three living people with malicious intent.
"Is Wanwan here? Go ask her if she has any ideas. If not, we'll have to go to the City God Temple!" Qi Sichen gritted his teeth, holding Qi Yuan tightly in his arms, using only his long sword as his only weapon.
Legend has it that there are also righteous gods guarding the City God Temple, protecting the peace of the area.
However, since he was a newcomer and not sure of the location of the City God Temple, he dared not wander around. So, relying on his memory and the direction pointed out by Qi Yuan, he made his way to the Lin family with great difficulty.
Lin Weiming also felt that this matter was something that Lin Wanyue couldn't solve on her own, so he immediately left the two of them and rushed home in a panic.
Just then, Xuefu put on her clothes and came out. Because she heard a man's voice outside, she didn't dare to go out, so she didn't see the ghosts clinging to the wall.
"Husband," Xuefu asked, "What are you doing? Who's outside? Why is the wind so strong..."
She was a little worried that the things placed in the yard might be blown over by the wind, but she wasn't sure if the man outside had left, so it wasn't convenient for her to go out.
"I'll go call my daughter." Lin Weiming didn't have time to worry about anything else at this moment. He ran to Lin Wanyue's room in a few steps and pushed the door open.
Lin Wanyue was fast asleep with her eyes closed.
Without saying a word, Lin Weiming pulled her up, too lazy to find any more clothes, simply wrapped her in the blanket, and carried her outside.
Xuefu followed behind him and was even more shocked to see him like this: "What are you doing? Wanwan is still sleeping soundly. If there's anything that needs to be done, it can be done tomorrow. Why wake her up now?"
"Something terrible has happened outside! Don't come out yet, it's up to our Wanwan to handle this!" Lin Weiming told his wife before rushing outside.
"..." Lin Wanyue was fast asleep and didn't wake up even after Lin Weiming's antics, but when she went outside and the cold wind blew, she heard all sorts of sharp and noisy sounds.
"What do you want?" She could only reluctantly open her eyes, and then stared into the eyes of hundreds of dark, ghostly eyes.
They stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Lin Wanyue's almond-shaped eyes were defeated by the skull-like eyes in the face of stare!
She blinked, swallowed, and asked, "Father, when did our house become a mass grave? Why are there so many ghosts?"
"This... I can't reach it either." Lin Weiming naturally couldn't answer her, and asked worriedly, "Daughter, what should we do?"
He came to find Lin Wanyue because she was his savior.
Little Pink Butterfly, Hu Jiuyuan, and Lin Xiangwu are considered to be the three strongest in terms of combat power among the ghosts raised by the Lin family.
Even before Lin Wanyue came out, they had already noticed that although the ghosts outside did not swarm forward directly, the walls were already making creaking sounds, almost like they were about to crack.
Clearly, once these ghosts knock down the Lin family's walls, they will inevitably rush in and cause trouble.
The three of them climbed onto the wall. Little Pink Butterfly wielded an axe and a laundry mallet, chopping off one ghost's head and smashing it onto another.
Hu Jiuyuan's silver needles shot out with a whooshing sound, causing many ghosts to fall straight backward.
Lin Xiangwu was the most skilled fighter among the three. With his spear flying, a large number of turtles fell to the ground.
The problem was that there were just too many ghosts. Even the three of them couldn't stop the ghosts from rushing into the courtyard one after another.
Lin Xiangwu even suspected that all the wandering spirits accumulated in this county over thousands of years had come here, and he wondered what was in this courtyard that was attracting them so much.
"Wanwan, hurry up and think of something! There are just too many ghosts, we really can't hold them off!" Laifu shouted anxiously from behind.
He himself wasn't very capable, and if he went up to help, he was more likely to cause trouble. He could only anxiously urge Lin Wanyue from behind.
Qi Yuan, protected in Qi Sichen's arms, peeked out and saw Lin Wanyue, even smiling at her.
Even if he were to be killed by these ghosts today, he would still be happy to see Lin Wanyue.
But his joy was short-lived. He then worried that he had attracted these ghosts and that they might hurt Lin Wanyue.
"Uncle, shall we go outside?" Qi Yuan said softly.
Qi Sichen remained silent for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, but... I'm afraid we can't get out."
Lin Wanyue watched as the ghosts outside rushed forward one after another, seemingly unafraid of death, as if they had been stimulated and were about to turn into vengeful spirits.
There are so many ghosts outside. If they really become vengeful ghosts, Little Pink Butterfly and the other two will definitely not be able to stop them.
The cold wind howled desperately outside, as if harboring a million evil spirits.
"Daddy, please put me down." Lin Wanyue pushed away the small blanket that was wrapped around her, not caring about the cold.
She had intended to take out a usable talisman from her sleeve, hoping to scatter all the ghosts and prevent them from bothering her again.
But just as her fingers touched the rough paper of the talisman, she saw a ghost open its mouth and bite Little Pink Butterfly's hand.
The little pink butterfly gritted its teeth, and without hesitation, swung its axe, chopping down on its own hand.
no!
If I use the talisman, then Laifu and Little Pink Butterfly will also be implicated!
After all, these were talismans obtained from the Taoist temple a long time ago, unlike those in Ning'an Village, which she wrote later and specially modified.
"Grandpa, Little Pink Butterfly, and Laifu, all of you go to the ancestral hall to hide." Lin Wanyue called out to Lin Weiming, "Father, wake up my brother, mother, and grandmother, and also Brother Yuan, you all go to my ancestral hall to hide."
"Then what are you going to do?" Lin Weiming and Qi Yuan shouted in unison.
Lin Weiming rolled his eyes at Qi Yuan when he heard his voice.
If this kid hadn't attracted all these ghosts, would his daughter have needed to go through all this trouble to take action?
"Hmph!" Lin Wanyue scoffed disdainfully at the swarming ghosts outside. "Them?"
Looking at her proud little face, completely unconcerned, Qi Yuan felt as if he had seen light in the darkness.
