At the west end of the village.
A crescent moon was in the sky, emitting a faint white light.
A small light was on in a single-family wooden house, and several people were scattered in the house. Gu Zhisang and others didn’t leave the Watuo Village.
The body of the old godmother, who died in the wooden house during the day, had been taken away and buried, but the house was still filled with a lingering deathly aura.
At this time, Gu Zhisang was sitting at the table, holding a paper-made man in her hand, and was using a brush to draw the facial features and eyes of the paper-made man.
When she drew the eyeballs, the extremely fine tip of the brush in her hand did not dip into the ink in the ink stone but dotted into the red mucus that had not yet solidified in another small plate, which was blood.
Picking up the brush again, she looked cold and added the eyes of the paper man one by one.
As soon as the red pupils sank into the paper, the other people in the room who were watching silently felt that the face of the paper man had become more vivid, and the red eyeballs looked a little strange under the light.
Then Gu Zhisang wrote a string of words on the front of the paper man, which was a person’s birthdate.
Daisy, who was sitting on the Kang, was amazed and whispered to Xi Haihong:
“Is your Eastern witchcraft so magical? You only need a piece of paper to make a ‘substitute doll’?!”
In the eyes of Daisy and other psychics, although Gu Zhisang was holding a paper man, the breath and energy emanating from the paper man were that of a living person!
This was called a ‘substitute doll’.
But this was the first time Daisy had seen such a delicate doll that could confuse a living person.
Xi Haihong: “……”
“Not many people can do it, it’s just she is more powerful.”
Daisy understood, nodded, and asked: “Can we attract the two evil creatures in this way?”
Xi Haihong said: “It should be possible.”
At this time, Gu Zhisang, who put down the brush, exhaled, looked up, and said: “It must be possible.”
“The ghost pregnant woman has killed their son, but it’s not enough. She wants to kill their entire family, which is enough to show that she hates this family very much. In addition, she failed to succeed and was bitten by the black dog, which made her hatred soar.”
“It will not miss this opportunity.”
After the live broadcast, Gu Zhisang deliberately learned the identity information of all the dead in the village and found that they were still related.
First, the only dead woman was the eldest daughter of the Xing Family, and the eldest sister-in-law of the ghost pregnant woman who hanged herself.
All the villagers mentioned her and said honestly.
That she was too honest and too loyal, which made people not know what to say.
This elder sister-in-law didn’t get a penny of the betrothal money when she got married. Later, she formed her own family. Her husband was quite capable and opened a small shop in the next village. She gave birth to a pair of sisters.
But even if her husband and in-laws treated her well, she still favored her natal family and her younger brother. She always felt that she hadn’t given birth to a boy, so she had to support her younger brother to make the family stand.
For this reason, even if she didn’t get a good face from her biological mother, she still often took oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour, and grains from the supermarket at home to her natal family.
People in the village said that this elder daughter’s husband was miserable. He married a wife who always bent her elbows.
Because this elder daughter was too good to her natal family, the daughter-in-law of the Xing Family had a good relationship with her. She often advised her not to send things to her family any more, saying that she should be embarrassed to take them.
Before the death of the daughter-in-law of the Xing Family, although this elder daughter was also angry that she cheated on her brother and got pregnant with someone’s bastard, she didn’t beat or scold her like Mrs. Xing.
She went to her several times secretly, persuading her to tell the “truth” and to take the child away and live a good life with her brother.
This pair of sisters-in-law had never quarreled before. However, after the daughter-in-law of the Xing Family died, she killed the eldest sister-in-law who treated her very well before.
As for the other four middle-aged men, they had no intersection with the daughter-in-law of Xing Family.
They had a good relationship with Xing Laoer. They were colleagues in a group of people who went out of the village to work together, led by the same contractor who organized the work and managed the affairs.
If there was any difference between them and other migrant workers in the village, it was that the money they had worked hard for half a year was all taken away by the contractor in the same village.
This happened two years ago.
The foreman who was responsible for arranging their work was a young man in the same village, only 20 years old, with a quick mind, and went to the county town to make a living after graduating from elementary school.
Although this man was younger than them, he had been in the county for more than ten years and had become a veteran. He makes money by introducing jobs to villagers.
The construction industry like Xing Laoer, provides food and accommodation, and the more diligent they are, the more money they earn.
But generally, the money will not be transferred to the foreman’s account until the project is completed, and then the foreman will distribute it to the workers below.
Xing Laoer and his team of more than ten people worked hard for half a year. When it was time to pay their wages, the foreman ran away with hundreds of thousands of public funds because of gambling debts!
This made a group of villagers angry.
Those days, they blocked the door of the foreman’s parents every day, wishing to demolish their houses, but it was no use.
Later, Xing Laoer and the rest were so angry when they got news from some insiders and wanted to catch the foreman who ran away and get the money back.
It was a pity that several people went out and came back with dust and ugly faces, saying that the foreman still ran away.
They worked for almost a year but didn’t get a penny.
The four dead people, after careful inspection, were the ones who went out with Xing Laoer to ask the foreman for money.
The only man who survived was the father of the dead boy, Zhuangzi.
Not long after the boy’s death and his body was found, their family almost had another accident.
The father of the family was feeding piglets in the yard that evening when his throat was cut by something, and he fell to the ground with blood gushing out of his wound.
His family raised a black dog named “General”. Its fur was pure black, without a trace of other colors. It surrounded its owner and barked and roared wildly, attracting other family members in the house.
Fortunately, the man’s throat was not completely cut, but his tracheal vocal cords were damaged. He was sent to the old godmother who was in charge of the matter and was rescued. He was still lying at home to recuperate.
If his carotid artery was cut, even the jade emperor could not save him.
The villagers said that the man must have encountered something that night. If they didn’t have a big black dog with spiritual power to protect the owner, he would have died tragically at home.
The black dog “General” who made great contributions also had a long cut on his abdomen.
To sum it up, even with so many major incidents, the villagers still didn’t think of calling the police.
First, they knew that the person who harmed them was not a human. When many villagers were caught in the “ghost wall”, they saw the daughter-in-law of the Xing Family.
For such an incident of evil spirits harming people, they felt that it was useless to call the police, and the police couldn’t get into the village.
