Chapter 1: The Strange Occurrence on Guard Spirit Night

  I was so scared that I looked around, about the story of jumping out of a coffin and coming back to life. When I was young, my grandmother told me many stories like this, now she's dead, could it be that she wants to make an appearance and speak for herself?

  "Oh no, Grandma! Please don't come out now, I'm so scared! If you do, I'll definitely go see you right away!" I was almost in tears and my legs were trembling as I walked towards the door.

  With a "poof" sound, there was a noise from the beam of the house.

  I suddenly remembered that nightmare from earlier.

  I thought it was all over, the nightmare has come true!

  The hand softly pulled open the door handle, and suddenly a black shadow swooped down from the beam above.

  I was so scared that I let out a loud shriek, and the black shadow swept across my body, dashing straight out of the gate. With the moonlight shining on it, it seemed to be some kind of large bird, flapping its wings as it flew up into the sky.

  I'm suspicious, how did such a big thing hide silently on the beam of our house? This is absolutely abnormal!

  I wiped away the cold sweat on my forehead and almost rolled out of our old house.

  The town is not big, my home is at the west end of the town, there are no cement roads like in the city, all are brick-paved paths, a bit narrow, the houses on both sides are not high, two or three floors, all are old houses from the old era, with high walls and black tiles, old but sturdy.

  The old mansion's gate was a black wooden door, and because of the funeral, white cloth and paper lanterns were hung on the door.

  At this moment I ran out of the door and found that one lantern had gone out, but at this moment I didn't have the mind to take care of it, and I rushed towards the street head in big strides.

  Something strange happened in my grandmother's mourning hall, and my dad wasn't around. At this 3 am, the only place I could go to was Mr. Wang's house up front!

  Mr. Wang took good care of my family, especially before my grandmother passed away, he helped with picking rice and delivering goods, after my grandmother's passing, he was the first to come over and help.

  His family is the only one in this town that sells meat, and they get up very early to work. What are they doing? Slaughtering pigs!

  As I walked up to his front door, I saw a sliver of light coming from the gap under the door. It seemed he was already up. Thinking that I would finally see another living person, I felt a sense of relief in my heart and reached out to knock on the door.

  There was no response inside, so I knocked a few more times and called out in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, hurry up and open the door!"

  Half a response, then a low voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

  At this time, most people were sleeping very soundly. If someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night, even a butcher would be startled! I quickly replied: "Uncle Wang, it's me, Little Fairy, open the door!"

  The person inside heard it was my voice and quickly came to open the door and let me in.

  Mr. Wang's home is a small quadrangle courtyard, the entrance is a shop, behind the shop there is a small yard, in the yard there is a maple tree and a water tank, when I was young I often came here to play.

  "So late, how did you come?" Uncle Wang closed the door and asked me standing in the courtyard.

  I caught my breath and didn't know how to tell what happened in the mourning hall.

  "I was originally keeping a vigil for my grandmother, but then I received a call from my dad. My dad said..."

  Just then, a loud "bang" came from the house behind the courtyard, interrupting my words.

  Wang Da Shu looked over in that direction, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "It's possible that Little Bei rolled off the bed. Little Xian, you wait here first, I'll go take a look!"

  Xiao Bei is Uncle Wang's grandson. He is only two years old. His parents work in the city, so they sent him back to be taken care of by Uncle Wang.

  The grandson rolled off the bed and Grandpa had to go see him. I could only nod, watching Mr. Wang enter the house!

  I stood in the courtyard for a while, feeling parched and dry, only to realize that I hadn't had a sip of water all night. So I walked over to the water vat and scooped up a ladleful of water with a gourd dipper to take a drink.

  There is no tap water in the town, so every household has a well and such a water tank. The well water is sweet and tastes much better than tap water.

  But as soon as the water entered my mouth, it brought a strong fishy smell, I felt nauseous and spat it all out.

  This water tastes obviously wrong, didn't Uncle Wang use this vat of water to wash pork?

  I reluctantly put the gourd ladle back on the edge of the vat, but felt that there was something floating on the surface of the water.

  I quickly took out my phone and turned on the flashlight to shine it over, they say curiosity kills, I was curious and took a look, and unexpectedly saw a dead person's face floating in the jar, there was actually a corpse inside!

  And this corpse I recognize, it's actually Uncle Wang!

  Realizing this, all the hairs on my body stood up!

  Uncle Wang died in his water tank at home, then who was the man who opened the door for me just now and went to see Xiaobei?
