Chapter Eleven: Encounter with a Ghost

  Although I was also a little scared, I still caught up with the girl and said to her: "Thank you, but I can't leave here. I don't know if I'll have the courage to come in next time, now that I've already come in, I won't leave."

  The girl listened to me finish the sentence and was also stunned, helplessly sighed and said: "You, really don't know how to say you, now there's no time to explain it to you, hurry up and hide with me, it will be even more dangerous here in a while."

  "Huh?" I looked at her in confusion, but was still pulled behind a tree and warned, "Later on, no matter what happens, don't make a sound. If you can't bear it, I can knock you out right now."

  "I hastily said: 'No, I absolutely won't make a sound!'"

  Although I also believe that there are spirits in this world, after all, I haven't seen them with my own eyes, so having such an opportunity, I naturally couldn't miss it. She wasn't being as fierce now, just squatting behind this tree with me.

  Because her veil was thin, I could see a bit of her face, which looked quite fair and should be a beauty. This look of hers gave me a feeling of déjà vu, but who she was I couldn't recall.

  It was about five or six minutes later, when suddenly a few gusts of wind blew over. This was absolutely not normal wind, but rather a kind of faint and unclear sound like the cry of an infant. It was as if hearing a cat meowing at midnight.

  The girl murmured: "It's really come!"

  At this moment, a faint beam of light suddenly appeared on the small path, and then a red wooden coffin suddenly appeared out of thin air. My heart was lifted to my throat at that time, and I almost cried out.

  Before he could react, "Bang..." the coffin lid was opened. The first thing that came out was a hand, followed by a woman in a red wedding dress jumping out from inside, holding a bundle of blankets in her arms. It should be a swaddle for a baby!

  The distance between us wasn't that far, but I could only see her outline and not her face clearly. Is this the legendary ghost? This time it's really seeing something like this, I'm thinking if she is Wang Xiaoya or not, but no matter how I look at her, she doesn't resemble her, this female ghost is much fatter than teacher Wang Xiaoya.

  The woman in the red wedding dress sneered a few times, then placed her bundle on the coffin and arranged it. It was only then that I realized what was inside - not a baby at all, but a skull with a pale complexion and flesh still attached to it.

  I whispered to the girl beside me, asking if this was really a ghost. She didn't respond, but signaled for me not to speak. I continued watching the woman in the wedding dress, who tidied up and then placed the skull into the coffin. After closing it, she quickly walked towards the entrance of the forest.

  The girl beside me sighed softly: "It's no good, she wants to go out."

  Before I could even understand what was happening, the girl suddenly jumped out, trampling on the thorns beside her and leaping out. At some point, a peach wood sword had appeared in her hand, tightly grasped within it.

  The female ghost wearing a wedding dress burst out laughing when she saw the girl appear in front of her, her laughter was so chilling and eerie that it echoed from within the coffin with a "thud" "thud" sound.

  The girl, still holding the thin gauze that covered her face, pointed at the female ghost and said loudly: "You have a big nerve, thinking you can escape from this forest? Do you want to harm people outside? Luckily, my master had me guarding here, otherwise you would have really escaped."

  "Ga ga ga.......""Ga ga ga......." The female ghost smiled again, and it was really unthinkable that there was such a laugh in the world. She said to the girl, "Tang Niang, I advise you not to stop me. I have been here for decades, and today is my son's tenth birthday. I want to take him out to see the world. Whoever stops me will be killed by me. You self-proclaimed powerful Taoist priests should not show off here!"

  So this girl is called Tang Niang? And she knows this female ghost, what a complicated relationship. This Tang Niang hummed and scolded the female ghost: "You really have a big nerve, you're already a ghost, your son died ten years ago, and now you want to defy heaven. Since that's the case, I'll let your soul disappear!"

  "This female ghost pointed to the coffin next to her and said, 'For the past ten years, I have been injecting yin energy into my son. Today, he already has independent abilities. Since you don't want me to go out, then let him go instead.'"

  At this time, Tang's expression was solemn and he said helplessly: "It seems that I can't stop you today? However, even if I die, I won't let any of you leave. Where is that handsome guy from just now? Hurry up and come out, open the coffin, take out the dead baby and cremate it."

  She was looking at me while talking, obviously pointing at me! I stood up with a stiff upper lip and asked her: "What should I do?"

  "Don't say a word, open the coffin and take him away to be cremated. Now he hasn't fully formed his aura yet. If we wait any longer it will be too late." Tang Niang finished speaking, and with a flash of light in her hand, she directly knocked over the coffin lid.

  The female ghost was now furious, let out a loud cry, and her hair stood on end, growing longer as it stretched towards the coffin. I had originally wanted to go over, but seeing her do so, how could I still dare?

  Tang girl stretched out her hand and directly grabbed the female ghost, pulling hard, this female ghost was pulled up by her. At this time, she shouted loudly at me: "Hurry up, or else we'll both be dead in a while."

  Although my whole body was trembling, I still came to the side of the coffin and pulled out the swaddling clothes. Seeing that I had gotten hold of this thing, Tang Niang continued to shout at me: "Hurry up and leave, first get out of this forest, after cremation come back in to find me, I will help you find the answer you are looking for, quickly."

  Now I don't have any thoughts, can only follow what Tang girl said, but now it's not just the two of us, there is also that red-clothed female ghost. The female ghost at this time rotated twice in mid-air, broke free from Tang girl's restraint, and directly jumped to my face.

  She stretched out her crippled arm to ask for the swaddling clothes, and it was only then that I saw her face. The skin on this guy's face had already become wrinkled, and it seemed that she had been burned to death before. Subconsciously, I threw down the swaddling clothes, and at this time, I only heard a "click" sound, and the female ghost actually twisted off her own head.

  "Ah!" I also couldn't help but let out a loud cry, and fear immediately swept through my entire body. Although the female ghost's head was gone, she stretched out her hands, and at this moment, Tang Niang directly grabbed her body from behind and threw it to one side, using a peach wood sword to stab the female ghost's head.

  That head just left with a swish, and Tang Niang picked up the diaper on the ground and handed it to me, saying: "Hurry up and go, you just need to treat her as a woman, she can't hurt you, don't be afraid, hurry up."

  I nodded, picked up the swaddle again, and at this time, the female ghost's head and body had merged together. Tang Niang held the peach wood sword, murmuring to herself, gathering a cluster of light beams that rushed towards her.

  I gritted my teeth and started running out, with the female ghost's laughter still echoing in my ears. The exit of the forest wasn't far away, and I was running fast due to tension. Soon I approached the exit, took a deep breath, and looked back. Whatever happened inside was no longer visible, but I had enough bad luck - not only did I not find out anything, but I also stumbled upon some eerie and unrelated business.

  Just as I lifted my head, I saw a person standing in front of me. It gave me quite a fright!

  Is that Wang Hui? I felt a little incredulous, because the person standing in front of me was indeed Wang Hui. Wang Hui nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."

  "How did you end up here? Didn't you leave?" I asked curiously.

  Wang Hui said to me, "I went back and thought about it, I felt that what you said made some sense, so I knew you would return to the village. Since I didn't see you in the village, I figured you'd come to this forest, so I came here."

  I patted Wang Hui's shoulder and said, "Good brother, it's great that you can trust me. Do you have a lighter on you? I need to use it for a moment."

  Wang Hui said he had fire, I hastily followed him to get some weeds and set them on fire, directly throwing the swaddling clothes into it. From start to finish, I didn't dare look at the things inside the swaddling clothes. Because a person's endurance is limited, I was really worried that I would be scared to death.

  Nothing strange happened when I burned the swaddling clothes, it was just like burning anything else. What's strange is Wang Hui, from start to finish he didn't ask me why I burned this swaddling cloth...
