Chapter 3: The Death of Su Bansian
When Lin Wanwan was alive, you locked each other in the pigpen and denied food, treating her like livestock. Now that she is dead, you suddenly have a "conscience awakening"?
Soon, we dug for another ten minutes, yet we still could not uncover Lin Wanwan's body
When I woke up, I found that my mental state was particularly poor
Only I feel that the air around seems to have become a bit more viscous
However, unlike the previous time when she mumbled incoherently, this time I actually understood what she was reciting
Upon hearing Su Bansian's words, everyone finally got up. Brother Zhuzi's father hurriedly wanted to take out money to give to Su Bansian
It is evident that Su Bansian's condition is not very good, yet she still perseveres and throws the shoes in her hand into the fire.
In the end, everyone decided to return and listen to what Su Banjian had to say
This strange scene left everyone present on edge
I took a glance into the inner hall, and there hung Su Bansian from the beam.
Essentially, it is dust to dust, earth to earth; you have already passed away. Let the past remain in the past. I will burn some paper money for you, and with the incense, may you live well in your next life.
Although the teacher once told us that there are no ghosts in this world
I also feel a bit anxious, wondering if this could be the vengeful spirit of that woman come to claim my life
After the shoes were burned, everyone finally relaxed a bit.
Where does the wind in the room come from
It causes a deep sense of discomfort within.
I was taken aback for a moment, no longer in a hurry to have breakfast, but instead ran alongside my parents towards the direction of Su Bansian's house
"Half Immortal, why is that thing so fierce?" At this moment, Brother Zhu's mother also tentatively asked.
Where is the corpse?" Liangzi exclaimed at this moment
The candles in the four directions flickered, and the flames grew larger, swirling towards the direction of the bonfire
It is a kind of cold, sticky sensation
"That's not right; we just casually dug a hole and buried it," another person quickly interjected at that moment
After a considerable amount of time, he finally spoke, saying, "It seems that things are truly heading in an unfavorable direction, and I can only do my best."
The villagers gathered outside quickly learned the news from the father of Brother Zhuzi, and one by one, they felt reassured and began to disperse
At this moment, it is evident that this old fellow truly feels afraid
Let's dig a little deeper. Someone suggested this, but everyone was filled with a sense of unease.
"Half-immortal, you must save us!" At that moment, the father of Brother Zhuzi, who had just returned from outside, heard these words and urgently cried out for help.
It is as if there is something within the bonfire that is attracting the flames
That night, I dreamt of Lin Wanwan again. In the dream, she was covered in blood, her face unrecognizable, pleading for me to save her
I usually watch horror movies, and my favorite ones are the zombie films directed by Lam Ching-ying. At that moment, I had a whimsical thought, "Could it be that they would get up and run away by themselves"
But this time, I could not wake up no matter what, I could only watch her shed tears of blood
How should I put it
But in the blink of an eye, the shoes from the library disappeared again
The most terrifying aspect is that both of her eyes were brutally gouged out, rendering that face grotesque.
Why can't that pair of shoes be burned
We looked at each other in astonishment, seeing something incredible in each other's eyes
Meanwhile, Su Bansian began to mutter some words.
Before I could fully comprehend the situation, Su Bansian had already instructed Brother Zhu's father to bring in that pair of shoes
"Bring those shoes over for me to take a look at," Su Banjian spoke up
It is obvious even to the toes that there is definitely something wrong with those shoes; otherwise, how could the remarkably powerful Su Banshen be so frightened
This also made me feel a bit scared inside; that woman's corpse, could it really have just run away by itself
At this time, quite a number of people had already gathered at the entrance of Su Banjian's home
However, the scene I witnessed left me unable to explain it
Brother Zhuzi's father was taken aback, shouting while fervently clasping his hands together and muttering, "It's a resurrection, it must be a resurrection, she has come to claim our lives! Amitabha, Amitabha!"
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind swept through the room, causing the candles on the table to flicker and sway, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing.
In a moment of daze, I seemed to see Su Bansian's feet, wearing a pair of shoes, which were precisely the ones that were burned yesterday
As soon as Su Banjian saw those shoes, his expression changed dramatically, as if a mouse had spotted a cat
When Brother Zhu's father returned with the shoes, Su Bansian had already taken out a large stack of paper money from the box, along with four candles
After this thought emerged in my mind, I felt a chill in my heart, inexplicably recalling the dreams I had in the past two days, and I could only feel cold sweat breaking out on my back
However, Su Bansian furrowed his brows and remained silent for a long time, with only the crackling sound of the candle being lit.
Brother Zhuzi's father hurriedly took out the brand new pair of shoes from his waist and carefully placed them on the table
This discovery made me break out in a cold sweat
A strange thing happened; when the shoes were thrown into the fire, the flames suddenly intensified
Brother Zhuzi's father nodded eagerly, and then our group of people also retreated from the room
Seeing this situation, Su Bansian ultimately sighed and said, "I will give it a try."
I find it somewhat puzzling; isn't this room sealed? Where is the wind coming from
Only after the shoes were taken out of the room did Su Banjian seem to come to his senses, breathing heavily as if he were suffering from asthma
She first lit a candle in all four directions: southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the room
Thus, I returned to Su Bansian's courtyard with a group of pale-faced individuals. After the leading young man recounted the incident of Lin Wanwan's corpse mysteriously disappearing.
I believe I have been dreaming about Lin Wanwan these past couple of days, which is why I haven't slept well
Su Banjian's reaction startled everyone present, and Brother Zhu's father quickly went out with a shoe in hand
At this moment, the paper money in the center of the room was already burning fiercely, and the blazing flames dispelled the cold atmosphere that had lingered in the room.
"Half Immortal, no, Great Immortal, you must save us!" At this moment, Brother Zhu's mother was also kneeling before Su Half Immortal, fervently bowing her head.
Zhuzi Ge's father sought out the best carpenter in the village to create a memorial tablet for that woman, which was placed in their home
She herself turned around, rummaging through a box for something.
That pair of shoes is particularly fire-resistant; they didn't burn even after being exposed to flames for about ten minutes
Just as I was about to have breakfast and watch some television, my dad suddenly ran back, calling out as he ran, "Not good, Su Banjian has committed suicide!"
The resentment above is quite heavy, not an ordinary matter; I am not a match for it, " Su Bansian honestly stated.
Why do strange things happen after shoes are thrown into a bonfire
In the end, it was Su Bansian who had Brother Zhu's father find a bottle of gasoline, which was thrown into the bonfire, finally burning those shoes.
I cannot manage this matter" Su Bansian said slowly and deliberately
Zhuzi Ge's mother quickly knelt down as well, and even the respected elder of the village knelt down alongside her
To speak honestly, at this point, I truly feel that things have become somewhat mysterious
After digging for about ten minutes, I felt that my stamina was beginning to wane. Some people also started to notice that something was amiss and questioned, "Did you bury it that deep before? Why haven't we dug it out yet?"
At this moment, Su Bansian let out a sigh and said, "I have managed to resolve the issue with the shoes for you. I will find an opportunity to discuss it with the other party tonight. You may return to https://mhetushucomcom for now, and at home, set up a memorial tablet for that young lady, and pay your respects by burning incense and kneeling during the festive seasons."
Did Su Banjian commit suicide
I was stopped by Su Banjian, who said, "There is no need to rush; whether this matter will succeed is still a question. Let's talk about it once it is accomplished..."
This time, it truly startled everyone, causing all to gasp in shock, leaving some feeling at a loss.
Then, she took the pair of shoes from the hands of Brother Zhu's father. It was evident that Su Bansian was still somewhat afraid of those shoes; she endured her fear to accept the pair.
However, the appearance of Brother Zhuzi's family does make me feel somewhat disgusted
"Half Immortal, we are all from the same village; you must help us!" Brother Zhu's father suddenly knelt down before Su Half Immortal.
Having purchased a considerable amount of joss paper and incense, the family knelt before the ancestral tablet, repeatedly bowing in supplication.
This caused a sinking feeling in the hearts of those present; even Su Banjian reacted this way, indicating how formidable that shoe must be
Could it be that Lin Wanwan has really returned
"What do you know, you little brat? Don't speak carelessly." Liangzi scolded me, but his body involuntarily trembled.
At this moment, I realized that the woman was named Lin Wanwan, a rather pleasant-sounding name
Then, in the center of the room, he ignited the stack of paper money
"Take it away, quickly take it away, take these shoes outside!" Su Banjian's voice suddenly became very sharp, almost as if he were screaming
To speak honestly, whether you believe it or not, this indeed sounds quite eerie. It feels as if that woman is truly in this room, and Su Bansian is conversing with her.
