The Rural Doctor of the Mountain Spirit

  Just as I had guessed, this piece of white cloth really came from that bachelor. This was when I took the white cloth to find the child's family, and they told me in person.

  I was sitting across from them at the time, and I took out the white cloth stained with blood from my hand. After the child's parents saw it, they suddenly started quarreling loudly. In an instant, the two of them began to fight violently.

  I stood by silently, having already made out the content of their loud argument. It turned out that the child's mother had something going on with this bachelor, something that couldn't be seen in public. The child's father knew about it, but since it was a family scandal, he endured it and didn't spread it around.

  However, behind his back, he went to find that bachelor and even planned to break two of the bachelor's ribs.

  The woman, the child's mother, was bent over the table, sobbing uncontrollably, looking so helpless. But not a single person in the room sympathized with her. The pitied must have some hateful aspects, although she loved that little kid dearly, I had some aversion to her deep down inside.

  At that time, I didn't know what an affair was, but I knew clearly that the child's death was all because of her.

  After an unknown period of quarreling, the two stopped arguing. The child's father went into the house and brought out a pig-killing knife. The knife was shining brightly, and under the light, it was even dazzling.

  I saw the blade of Bai Sen's knife, and I was also a little scared in my heart. The child's mother hugged him from behind: "Child, you can't be impulsive, killing someone is against the law."

  The child's father suddenly pushed away the child's mother: "You this slut, if you don't get out of here, I'll kill you along with him."

  After finishing the sentence, the child's father rushed out of the house, and I followed him. Soon, we came to a dilapidated wooden hut. The child's father was violently banging on the door, cursing loudly in his mouth. However, the door of that room was very solid and did not open.

  The child's father turned around and picked up a stone from the ground, heavily smashing it towards the window. Those wooden lattice windows were smashed to pieces.

  Then he took the knife and hacked at the door, finally breaking it open. From inside the house, he dragged out a man wearing white clothes covered in blood. The man was clutching his thigh, which had clearly been stabbed by the child's father.

  At this moment, I felt a little regretful and thought that I had done something wrong. As the child's father became more and more agitated, wanting to kill that person with one knife, I called out to him: "Uncle."

  He stopped, his eyes bloodshot, staring at me like that.

  "Put down the knife."

  The child's father seemed to come to his senses a bit at this moment, and he looked at the man covered in blood in his hands. At this time, the man shouted loudly: "Madman, save me, madman."

  At this time, several villagers rushed up and snatched the knife from the child's father. The child's father sat on the ground with a thud, staring blankly at the sky. Everyone knew he was heartbroken and didn't go forward to comfort him.

  Soon, everyone dispersed. The villagers took away his knife and helped him back home. I slipped into the single man's house quietly at this time.

  After entering the house, I indeed smelled a very unnatural smell in his house, which was similar to the smell of a dead person. However, after searching everywhere, no corpse was found.

  Just then, the bachelor returned. I heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and the bachelor was yelling and cursing: "You son of a bitch, last time I slept with your wife you didn't come to bother me, I wouldn't have gone to kill your son, now I'll make you regret stabbing me today."

  Among the curses, the bachelor entered the house. I hid behind the cupboard and stared at him through the gap.

  This bachelor sat down and started scolding again: "Bastard, cheap bastard, wait for the master to come, I'll make you look good."

  I've already figured it out from his curses. That little kid, he's the one who killed him. And not only did he kill the kid, now he wants to take revenge on the kid's father. How can I tolerate this? If I could run away, I would definitely go tell the kid's father.

  What a pity, this bachelor scolded non-stop, I hid behind the cupboard and couldn't come out at all.

  After a long time, the bachelor finally stopped scolding. The door creaked open and another person came in. Through the gap, it was an old man with his back bent. This person was the "head" mentioned by the bachelor. As soon as he entered the house, the bachelor called out his name.

  After entering the house, Tou also sat at the table. The bachelor was like a grandson, patting his back and shouting "Tou Ye" in front of him and behind him. But I covered my nose tightly at this time, because I smelled a strong stench coming from the old man called Tou Ye's body.

  This smell is exactly the same as the one in the house. I was so overwhelmed by this smell that my eyes were tearing up and I almost started coughing.

  "Boss, I have another favor to ask of you, can you help me take care of it?"

  The old man with a cold tone and a hoarse voice said, "You little brat, don't try to take advantage of me. I helped you get rid of that kid, this is the deal, how did it go?"

  The bachelor beside him, hunching his back, said: "Don't worry, boss, it's just a woman. Give me a few more days and I'll definitely send you ten times over. I'm not bragging, I may not be able to handle other people, but handling this woman is absolutely my specialty."

  The two of them went on to discuss many more things, and from their conversation, I was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that this bachelor not only wanted to deal with the father of the deceased child, but also wanted to cheat the village women into giving things to the old man.

  Such a person has completely lost all sense of conscience. This is the only evaluation I have for this bachelor in my heart.

  They discussed for a long time, and the old man finally agreed to the bachelor's request, stood up and left, agreeing to come again at 12 o'clock in the evening. After the two men left, I crawled out from behind the cabinet, almost falling directly to the ground.

  I ran out of the bachelor's house and came to the door of the dead child's home. I can no longer bear it, so I decided to tell everything I heard. However, I am worried that the father of the dead child will become more impulsive after hearing my words and may really do something murderous.

  I hesitated and didn't go into the house, but instead went to Auntie Wang's place and told her about it. After listening, Auntie Wang's face turned pale. But with one more person, our brains were indeed clearer.

  Fat Aunt quickly took me to the village chief's home and told him about it. The village chief then found a dozen reliable men in the village.

  Time flies, and soon it's deep into the night. I've been standing guard with the village chief and a dozen or so sturdy men for nearly two hours in the dark of night.

  The village head looked at me with suspicion and asked: "Is this little kid telling lies?"

  I didn't argue, just let him continue to wait. After waiting for a while, I saw three people walking in the dark night. One was a hunchbacked old man, another was the single man wearing white clothes. Besides them, there was also an extremely strange person walking alongside.

  The most bizarre thing is the way of walking.

  What's so strange about him? When I stare at that person, I always feel like he doesn't bend his knees when walking, and his movements look stiff.

  The action is very different from the usual walking posture of ordinary people, so when I stared at that person, I always had a feeling of something being off in my heart.

  At this time, the village chief and more than a dozen strong men also became tense. They gripped the wooden sticks in their hands, their bodies moving slowly.

  The bachelor and his companions were getting closer, indeed heading in the direction of the dead child's home. Just then, the village chief suddenly shouted loudly, and those strong men jumped out and surrounded the three people in the middle.

  But just at this moment, everyone suddenly let out a loud cry and retreated wildly.

  Someone lit a torch and the torch illuminated all three people. When we looked at the third person besides the old man and the bachelor, our hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

  This is not human at all.
