“If you want to break the curse completely, you must calm its resentment and redress the injustice it suffered during its lifetime.”

At this point, for the future and safety of the whole village, Gu Zhisang bluntly said that the daughter-in-law of Xing Family died unjustly.

Lamu slapped the door frame and said:

“I will take you to the Xing Family now!”

“I also want to know what evil that family has done and what crimes the people in our village have committed to make the daughter-in-law of Xing Family hate us so much.”

After that, he went door to door and called a few village cadres together.

The villagers were delighted to hear that the masters outside the village had subdued the bodies of the daughter-in-law of the Xing Family.

After hearing that Lamu was going to the Xing Family, many villagers also clamored to follow him to hear the truth.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the door of the Xing Family.

After knocking on the door of the Xing Family for a long time, a gloomy and impatient voice came from the closed courtyard door: “Who is it?”

The courtyard door was opened a crack, and a hunchbacked old lady peeked out from the crack. As a result, a slender and white palm slapped on the door the next second.

The owner of the palm seemed to push lightly, but the courtyard door was directly pushed open.

The airflow in the courtyard was mixed with a faint smell of decay, which made Gu Zhisang squint her eyes slightly. She raised her feet stepped directly over the threshold and walked towards the Xing Family’s house.

Seeing so many villagers and strangers breaking into her yard, Mrs. Xing stamped her feet like crazy and tried to hit and scratch Gu Zhisang, but before she touched the corner of Gu Zhisang’s clothes, she was pushed away by an invisible force.

“Damn robbers! This is my yard, you bully an old woman like me!”

Lamu and other village cadres explained and said:

“The master said that the reason your daughter-in-law is resentful is that your Xing family wronged her! Aunt Xing, you hide at home with Xing Laoer every day and don’t go out. You didn’t do anything bad, did you?”

“Bul*****!”

Seeing that she couldn’t stop it, Mrs.Xing began to bite, kick, and pull the villagers who were pulling her, leaving several skin-breaking nail marks on the faces and necks of the two villagers.

Amid the noise, Gu Zhisang pushed open the main bedroom.

The strong smell of herbs mixed with the stench of rotting meat filled the entire dim bedroom, and the smell was very pungent.

A middle-aged man was lying on the bed.

He was haggard and thin, and all the exposed skin from his face to his neck and the back of his hands had patches of dark red “human face sores”.

Hearing the door open, the man shrank, and stared blankly in Gu Zhisang’s direction, then showed fear after a few seconds and hid in the quilt.

It was obvious that his mental state was terrible and he was almost tortured crazy.

The first time she saw the man’s face covered with red spots, Gu Zhisang knew that this man was the husband of the pregnant ghost, or more precisely, the husband in the world of the living – Xing Laoer.

The other contestants also walked into the room.

Bai Ci frowned and said: “Such a strong death aura… He was attacked by something, but he didn’t die.”

Gu Zhisang didn’t say anything. After watching for a while, she turned around left the master bedroom, and walked towards a small vegetable garden behind the yard.

A round wooden cover with an iron bolt was next to the open space of the vegetable garden. This was a cellar for storing grain.

For some reason, the cellar door was not sealed, but there were several holes in the board, and air and sunlight could flow through these holes to the storage room underground.

Gu Zhisang knelt, pulled the iron bolt, and then used two fingers to hold the holes in the board, and lifted the board completely.

After looking inside, she stood up and said to Lamu:

“There is someone down there, please find two people to carry her up.”

Lamu: “?!!”

The villagers: “?!!!”

Lamu nodded, propped up the ladder in the yard’s corner, and took a cadre down to the cellar.

The villagers looking up from the ground soon saw that the first villager who came up was carrying a disheveled person on his back!

The Xing Family hid a living person under the cellar!

The villagers were stunned after carefully putting the person on the ground and brushing aside her hair.

“Isn’t this the eldest daughter of the Xing Family?”

“Oh, isn’t Sister Xing dead? Wasn’t she killed by her sister-in-law?! Old Lady Xing had asked my husband to carry the coffin to the mound behind the village and buried her!”

“What a sin… Look at what has happened to a living person?”

The eldest daughter of the Xing family, who was supposed to be dead and buried, was not dead at all and was hidden in the cellar of her home. She had lost a lot of weight in the short two weeks she disappeared!

When Lamu and another villager went down, she was lying on a dark, torn quilt and pillow, with her clothes and pants covered with dried excrement, and the stench was overwhelming.

If her eyes were not still open and there was a little breath coming out of her nose, they almost thought it was a dead body.

The dead elder daughter Xing was alive, and the only son was lying on the bed with red sores all over her body. The villagers who saw this scene could no longer resist their curiosity and surrounded Mrs. Xing to question her.

But the old lady just sat on the ground with her eyelids drooping and said nothing.

Lamu wiped the sweat off his face and arranged for several women in the village to wash the body of elder daughter Xing and change her clothes.

These days, except for feeding her eldest daughter some food and water, Mrs. Xing probably didn’t take care of her.

The woman who was originally in good health now had a lot of lumps on her body, and her flesh and clothes were stuck together. If she was torn apart with a little force, her skin would be torn!

Lamu asked: “Master Gu, what’s going on?”

Gu Zhisang said coldly: “Then we have to ask Xing Laoer, why he and his wife promised each other yin and yang and the afterlife, but his wife’s marriage contract was given to a ghost!”

In the beginning, she was also puzzled, how could a single woman get pregnant by herself?

Even if she was pregnant with a ghost fetus, it would be impossible to detect the entity when she went to the hospital for examination, because the essence of the ghost fetus was just a soul.

But when Gu Zhisang caught the two evil creatures, she understood.

From the face of the charred corpse and the method of taking body tissue, Gu Zhisang used the “Asking the Heavenly Gua” and found that there were two marriage lines on the body of Xing’s daughter-in-law at the same time.

One marriage line was in the world of the living, which was with Xing Laoer.

While the other one was very strange, it was a marriage contract with a ghost.

Gu Zhisang also deduced the object of the ghost marriage compared the identity information with the “Soul Book” in the underworld, and found that the ghost’s surname was Wang Lin.

The time of death was one year and eight months ago.

According to the “Soul-Catching Book”, Wang Lin was born in Watuo Village and was from the same village as Xing Laoer.

In connection with some information she got from Lamu before, it was said that when the Spring Festival was approaching the year before last, the money of a dozen villagers who were introduced to work outside the village and worked hard for more than half a year was taken away by the foreman of the same village.

The foreman took away hundreds of thousands of yuan, and even his parents at home ran away without a trace.

This foreman who ran away was called Wang Lin!

Not long after he ran away with the money, he died.

This person should have died a violent death. With resentment in his heart, he turned into a fierce ghost and escaped the traction of the underworld. He was still on the run and had not been arrested and sent to the underworld.

What’s even more bizarre was that after Wang Lin died, he became a ghost and even had a ghost marriage with Xing Laoer’s wife!

Gu Zhisang said: “When I saw Xing Laoer just now when I entered the room, I found that his fate was filled with evil power and blood, which means that he had killed someone directly or indirectly.”

“I deduced and recheck him, and found an ‘interesting thing’. The person he was infected with evil power was Wang Lin, who you said had run away with the money, but was dead a long time ago.”
