Chapter 6 No. 091 - Water Ghost Face (Six)

On July 25, 2015, while searching historical documents, a copy of the Jiao County Gazetteer prior to the founding of the nation was found, which recorded a criminal case involving the local villagers resorting to extrajudicial killings, with specific details remaining unclear

It is likely due to extrajudicial punishment

Ah... that was the last instance of vigilante justice in the village. That woman, whom I call Sister Hua, married into our village from an outside one. She does not have the surname Hua, but she can weave beautiful floral bracelets, which she has made for every young woman in our village and even sold in the city. She met that wild man in this way. They call him the wild man, haha. That man had nothing to do with Sister Hua. At that time, a thug from the city wanted to take Sister Hua away, and that man had just opened a shop nearby. He came out to help Sister Hua, and that is how they got to know each other. Sister Hua later went to the city to sell flowers, right at the entrance of his shop, and those thugs no longer dared to come around. The two of them never had anything going on, but that brute did not believe it. That brute... truly is not a good person! He really is not a good person!

Then they began to peel the skin off Sister Hua's face

Great-aunt

It was only upon hearing about the ancestral hall that I thought of it

It is acceptable, but she is quite old, so please be gentle when you ask her

"I remember, of course I remember. Auntie, have you recalled something again?"

Hmm. Huh... I was following behind, wanting to save Sister Hua, but there were so many people, and I didn't dare to go forward, I didn't dare to go. ... ... They entered the ancestral hall, and there were people inside and outside. I knew there was a hole in the back wall of the ancestral hall where I could see inside, so I went around. At that time, it was just getting dark, and many people had lit torches. They tied Sister Hua up, like they were tying up a pig to be slaughtered, and that beast held a knife, cutting open Sister Hua's throat... ... The blood sprayed high, and I saw Sister Hua staring wide-eyed, just looking at me.

Oh! That's wonderful! Is it convenient to meet?

Aunt ... ...

Huh... huh... um... I'm fine. I have to say this, I must say it before I enter the coffin

On July 22, 2015, contact was made with Wang Feng, a member of the construction team at the construction factory. Audio file 09120150722.wav

Xiao Fen said, "Do you want to ask about the village?"

On July 30, 2015, met with Tong Jiang. Audio file 09120150730.wav

There is nothing at all, it is simply empty, not even a table or a bench, which is why it is called an empty room

On July 26, 2015, I received a phone call from Jiang Meifen, a resident of Yuanjiao Village and a worker at the Hongxing Factory. The phone recording is 201507260914.mp3

There was none. At that time, there was no such thing as Phase One or Phase Two; it was just said that a factory would be built, and then the villagers were organized to relocate, and the construction team got to work. Our team leader took a look around and saw this house was empty, so he decided to tear it down first, rather than just waiting around. When he asked the villagers, they all said it was fine if the house was demolished. Later, when the house was almost torn down, the blueprints for the factory had not arrived yet, so it remained empty.

Of course. Thank you very much!

Is there really no one in that empty village who has thought about dealing with it? There must be a reason for it to remain as it is

This is not the case. However, I have contacted someone for you, my great-aunt. She is one of the elders in the village and knows a lot of things

Were you also part of the construction team when the park was being built

It's nothing. That beast hit Sister Hua, and as if that wasn't enough, he went to find the village chief, beat the gong, and called the entire village! They dragged Sister Hua all the way, from his house to the ancestral hall... The road was covered in blood... A trail of blood! Sister Hua screamed all the way, but later... she couldn't make a sound anymore

For example, what is being excavated, or are there any issues within the construction team

This is the area. When we began to dismantle the house, we started here, as there was no one living here. The yard is surrounded by a dirt wall, and the house is made of wood, with wooden pillars inside, making it easy to take apart

There is none, absolutely none

Attached: photocopied materials of the literature

Yes. It mainly concerns the empty house and the strange occurrences in the village

Xiao Liu, do you still remember Aunt Jiang? We ran into each other in the park, and you later contacted me to inquire about the vacant house.

Is there anything special? No, there isn't

Did nothing happen after you went in

After the expansion, the park will be located here

Correct

Did you uncover something?

Aunt, why don't you tell us about the empty house? Whose house was it originally?

That empty house, um... it must be about 100 square meters. Upon entering, there is an empty courtyard, overgrown with weeds, and there is no paved path. There is only one room, without any partitions. Ah, right, no partitions, which is actually quite strange. Such a large courtyard, half of it is open space, and half is the house, which only has columns inside, but no walls. I remember from the beginning, it has always been an empty house, uninhabited. The paint on the two doors has completely peeled off, and there is no door lock. When the wind blows, it makes a banging sound. By the way, that house has no doors and no windows; it is a very... strange house.

Ah!

Well, we were there, but at that time we just followed instructions from others, all engaged in weeding and planting trees

"Grandma Jiang, do not worry, take your time to speak."

Do you remember the location of that empty house? This is the map of the village from back then, and this is the map of the factory. Can you still find the location of the empty house?

Did anything special happen during that process

What is inside it

It's nothing

Hiss—this map only outlines a piece of land, but there are no houses in the village

In rural areas, the use of extrajudicial punishment is often chosen to take place in places like ancestral halls. We found that there was an instance of extrajudicial punishment in the village before the founding of the nation, which was handled as a case by the authorities. That ancestral hall must have been abandoned for this reason, right

"Ancestral hall? How could it have fallen into disrepair and become an empty house?"

No. At that time, we didn't have any tools; we just dug a little with our bare hands. We didn't even make a pit, just pulled out the weeds. Um... it was pulling out the weeds. At that time, someone even got into an argument with my brother, saying he was giving useless suggestions, and that we were exhausted but still couldn't make a trap

Here, the first phase of the factory project has not encompassed this area, has it

Ah, yes, it has been a long time... Let me think... At that time... it seems we were doing something, but it seems... it seems it had nothing to do with the empty house. We, a group of kids, entered the house and saw nothing, no monsters... Oh, I remember now, it was my brother who said we had to wait until night to catch the monsters. At that time, we were making traps... Actually, we were just kids messing around, digging a pit, or something like that.

Thank you, I appreciate your help once again

Boss, have you thought of this early on

For example, haunted.

"What? Young man, what do you mean by private punishment?"

Strange matter

That place was originally the ancestral hall of the village

Aunt, wipe your tears and take a deep breath

No

This... this... my old house is probably around here. If you want to go to the empty house, you should walk this way, and then... it should be in this direction. As for the specifics, I really can't figure that out.

Ah?

But you all stayed inside for a long time

I truly do not know about this

Aunt, please calm down and take care of your health

Yes, the records are not that detailed
