Chapter 006: Sun Bansian Takes Action

The villagers gathered here to watch how Master Sun would save the person, but I had no interest in continuing to watch. I also had no idea what Xiao Lian was doing at home. Whenever I thought of the tragic death of "Big Black," I became worried about our most valuable asset, the sow that had just given birth. If Xiao Lian ever got the urge to harm that pig, it would be disastrous.

My greatest question at the moment is, if Xiao Lian is a female ghost, why does she dare to appear during the day? Isn't it said that ghosts only dare to come out at night

Xiao Lian sighed and said, "More than a hundred years ago, you and I were both kind-hearted people, but why do good people always fail to receive their just rewards? That malicious woman wronged me, and after causing the deaths of both you and me, she even skinned me alive to make a human skin drum, preventing me from reincarnating to this day. After enduring countless sufferings, I vowed never to let anyone bully me again"

A single remark from Granny Sun awakened the dreamer, and Liu Xicai's eyes sparkled with hope, believing that his son was saved. Normally, he looked down on this eccentric old woman, but now, she seemed like a lifeline to him. He said to Granny Sun, "Sister Sun, if you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of it. Your brother's arrival will surely save my family’s Gengui!"

I had no choice but to go out myself, while my mother stayed at home chatting with Xiao Lian. In her eyes, Xiao Lian is undoubtedly a good girl, and it would be even better if she could become her daughter-in-law

So, what happened to Liu Genggui's right hand? I saw that the skin and flesh on his hand were gone... I wiped the cold sweat from my brow and asked Xiaolian.

As we were talking, my mother returned. Upon entering, she sighed with compassion for Liu Genggui, saying that although the Liu family father and son had been somewhat overbearing due to their wealth, this time they had indeed suffered greatly, and it was unbearable to even look at them.

I returned home alone and saw Xiao Lian standing in the room, looking at me through the window. After I entered the house, Xiao Lian asked me, "Is that guy who was being handsy with me yesterday sick?"

Xiao Lian nodded somewhat shyly, and it was evident that she now regretted having killed my family's "Da Hei"

"Is there any way to save him? Let's wait until my brother arrives to discuss it. We can't just let this child, Gen Gui, lose his life like this, can we?" said Granny Sun.

Upon hearing a remark from Granny Sun, everyone was enlightened. Indeed, how could we have forgotten the eminent figure right before our eyes! Granny Sun has a brother known as "Sun the Half-Immortal," who is quite a renowned "great immortal" in this area. If a child from any family is frightened, perhaps by some fox spirit or ghost, going to the hospital may not guarantee a cure, but seeking out Sun the Half-Immortal for a head pat and a chant will surely bring about a swift recovery

"That night you killed Da Hei and drenched yourself in its blood, was it a bloodbath?" I finally understand why Xiao Lian would commit such a cruel act

I nodded slightly, not daring to say another word

Xiao Lian once again saw through my thoughts. I had to admit that she was a very clever female ghost. She said to me: "Fourth Dog Brother, do you think I am too fierce and ruthless, and that I am quite frightening?"

Sun Banjian has witnessed many grand occasions, but today, faced with these strange black insects from wwwhetushucom.com, he broke out in a cold sweat, and his hand, which was prying open his eyelids, began to tremble slightly. He said to Liu Xicai, "Old Liu, your son is in serious trouble!"

Sun Banjian indeed possesses a commendable level of professionalism. As soon as he stepped down from the carriage, he quickly walked up to Liu Genggui and asked, "Is this the child?"

Liu Xicai hurriedly approached and handed a cigarette to Sun Banjian, saying: "Mr. Sun, you must help and take a good look. What kind of evil has possessed this child? How could they change so much in just one night?"

It is said that Sun Banjian had a legendary experience in his early years. When he was young, he had a strong penchant for alcohol, drinking to the point of intoxication every day, and wandering aimlessly through the surrounding villages. One particularly cold winter, he passed out in the wilderness, sleeping through the night in the freezing snow, and surprisingly, he did not freeze to death. Upon his return, he had completely changed; he kept muttering about having a rendezvous with a fox spirit that night, claiming that the fox spirit had instructed him to become a disciple of the horse, and now he was ready to embark on that path.

Xiao Lian nodded slightly, "They are just like me, all unfortunate wandering souls."

After I shared my doubts with Xiao Lian, she said: "When I died, my human skin was made into a drum by a wicked man surnamed Zhou, and a curse was placed upon my soul, preventing me from being reborn for eternity. At first, I only dared to come out at night. By the early years of the Republic of China, I encountered a fierce ghost who also could not reincarnate. He taught me a method of blood bathing using animal blood, once every half month. Thus, I acquired this current body without temperature, allowing me to appear during the day."

At this moment, nearly everyone in the village had gathered here, all staring wide-eyed at the old man Sun Banjian who was stepping down from the carriage. When I looked at this old man, he didn't have three heads and six arms; why was he being talked about in such a mysterious way?

I also know that his two eyes are filled with black insects, which cannot be caught or killed, and that his right hand is nothing but bones

Even female ghosts can be shy at times. It seems I really need to reevaluate my opinion of Xiao Lian. If it weren't for her excessively cruel methods, she would indeed be somewhat charming.

Liu Xicai quickly called upon relatives and friends to harness the horse-drawn carriage and personally go to invite Master Sun. Master Sun's residence is located more than ten miles from Helong Village, which is not too far, but the mountain roads are difficult to traverse, and there is no decent means of transportation. It is estimated that the round trip would take at least an hour at the fastest.

After more than an hour, the outside was filled with cries and commotion, leaving me feeling quite disturbed. Liu Xicai's family always loves to make a scene, and now his son is behaving like this. Instead of keeping him at home, they bring him outside, causing chaos throughout the entire village.

Xiao Lian smiled even more creepily, saying: "I called a few close sisters last night to help you harvest the corn, so you don't have to suffer anymore. Then I conveniently went to Old Liu's house and sprinkled a few black worms in Liu Genggui's eyes. These black worms are ones I raised myself; I have as many as I want, hehe"

The flesh on his hand was something I had peeled off for him... Hmph, who told him to be so audacious, daring to touch... touch my backside..." As Xiao Lian said this, her face, devoid of any color, did not turn red, but it was rare for me to see a hint of shyness on her.

Sun Banjian crouched down and examined closely, biting his lower lip tightly, remaining silent for a long time. His silence made others hesitant to ask questions, and they quietly watched how Sun Banjian would treat this peculiar illness

People thought he was either crazy or frozen silly, but later Sun Banjian indeed seemed to have acquired supernatural powers. He was the only person in Northeast China who obtained "lightness skill" without going through the "pavilion method." The practice of "lightness skill" is divided into "white skill" and "black skill." "White skill" refers to a method that does not involve excessive killing, primarily aimed at helping people exorcise evil spirits and avoid misfortune, employing subtle techniques. In contrast, "black skill" is different; regardless of the ferocity of the ghost or spirit encountered, once he takes charge of the matter, he will eradicate every last one without leaving a trace! Sun Banjian practiced black skill.

Only to see Sun Banjian extend a pair of calloused hands to pry open Liu Genggui's eyelids. The crowd followed his gaze and saw that in one of Liu Genggui's eyes, several black worms were writhing. These black worms appeared even more enchanting against the glistening eyeball, their entirely dark bodies covered in white stripes that shimmered with a silvery glow. Upon closer inspection, these black worms resembled short, small earthworms, swimming back and forth in Liu Genggui's eyeball, occasionally opening their tiny mouths to nibble at his pupil. Now, Liu Genggui's pupil had shrunk to less than half its original size. Many villagers who witnessed this disgusting scene opened their mouths and vomited up everything they had eaten that morning.

Mother shook her head and said, "One cannot speak like that. Alas, let us see if Master Sun can come and save him; it all depends on his fate."

Xiao Lian spoke, a cold smile appearing on her face. When I saw her smile at that moment, it was exactly the same as the one she had when facing Liu Genggui at the village entrance yesterday. My heart trembled, and with a quivering voice, I asked her: "Xiao Lian, it couldn't really be you who did it, could it?"

I advised my mother not to worry about others unnecessarily. That Liu Genggui is truly despicable. Last year, he got Er Ya from the east end of the village pregnant. When Er Ya's parents saw that the situation was irreversible, they wanted to marry her off to him, but he flatly refused. He even claimed that the child in Er Ya's belly was not his, which made her so furious that she left home and has not been heard from since. Such a heartless and ungrateful person deserves this outcome. He flatly refused to take responsibility, claiming that the child in Er Ya's belly was not his, which made her so furious that she left home and has not been heard from since. Such a heartless and ungrateful person deserves this outcome.

At this moment, the carriage to pick up Master Sun had returned. I also wanted to catch a glimpse of Master Sun's demeanor, so I thought of taking Xiao Lian out to see the commotion. However, Xiao Lian insisted on not going out, saying she did not like to see people like Master Sun.

"How did you know?" I asked in surprise, thinking to myself that Xiao Lian is indeed impressive, able to understand the situation without even looking.

This is the second time I have heard Xiao Lian speak of matters from her past life, and it seems that both she and I were indeed wronged in our previous existence. When I asked her again about what exactly happened over a hundred years ago, Xiao Lian fell silent once more, stating that in due time, I would naturally understand everything.

"Mr. Sun, what are these bugs? They are about to eat my son's eyes out! You must think of a solution quickly!" Liu Xicai said with a trembling voice, worried about his son's safety.

How many close sisters do you have? I was quite taken aback by Xiao Lian; her good sisters, of course, cannot be human.
