The dead ghost lowered his head and said timidly: "My name is Zhang Xiaojun, I am from the local Celi Village, and I was hanged two days ago..."
When Shen Bing and I heard this, we looked at each other. What a coincidence! We just gave him a gift of 100 yuan. Unexpectedly, he got into the Little White Flag and took him home.
Zhang Xiaojun continued, "After I died, I wanted to go home to see the world, but Old Lady Qiu stopped me from going back to the village. I was unwilling to go to the underworld, so I hid in the willow trees during the day. I didn't want to enter any of your soul flags, but he..." He pointed at the pointy-headed ghost, "He created a gust of wind when he left and took me in."
"As soon as I entered the willow tree, I noticed that there was a fellow traveler inside. When I left, I brought the wind with me to play with this thing, but who knew I would bring it in." The pointy-headed ghost said, lowering his head.
I was a little amused. You were the one who started it all. After you brought him in, you beat him up. You were so unreasonable. You were right. These four beauties followed suit. It seemed that although they hated the pointy-headed ghost, they were of one mind when it came to this.
Then he drove the pointed ghost and Lin Mengxi into the small white flag and looked at the injuries on Zhang Xiaojun's body. They didn't hit him hard, they were just superficial injuries, no medicine was needed. He was asked to sit on a stool and asked why he wanted to commit suicide.
Zhang Xiaojun hung his head, looking very troubled. He told me, "My wife often calls me a loser. She doesn't like me staying at home to farm when other young people go out to work. Three nights ago, we had a fight and ran to the mountain out of anger. I just wanted to cool off in the mountain and go home after I calmed down. Who knew that I would end up in the woods in a daze? I don't know where the rope came from. I was found hanged on a tree after I died."
I didn't think it was strange. The hilltop was very close to the forest. There were so many dead souls buried alive, and the evil old woman was attacking from both sides. It would be abnormal if you didn't die. But it was still a bit strange. Why didn't he get buried alive, but hanged? After his death, the old lady Qiu didn't let him go home
Thinking of this, I asked him, "Who is Mrs. Qiu?"
"It's Zhang Xuehan's mother who was said to have died unjustly." Zhang Xiaojun said.
I got furious when I heard this. This damn old woman killed people, why didn't she let him go home to see his family? She is really as vicious as a snake and scorpion. Damn her uncle. I can't stand it anymore. I will go to Celi Village tonight and take her to the police station.
"Why didn't that old woman let you go home?" Shen Bing asked with disgust.
When Zhang Xiaojun heard her scolding the old woman, he looked up at her strangely, then lowered his head and said, "She didn't say anything, but just wouldn't let me go back to the village."
Shen Bing snorted coldly and said, "She's calling you old man so respectfully, but she's simply a beast!"
Zhang Xiaojun suddenly looked up and said excitedly: "You are not allowed to scold her like that..."
"Why?" Shen Bing and I were both curious that there were still people defending this old woman.
"Because... Well, I can't tell you what you don't know." Zhang Xiaojun shook his head in distress, as if he had some difficulties.
Just as we were about to ask more questions, we suddenly heard Zhang Jinsheng knocking on the door: "Brother, are you back?"
I hurriedly chanted a spell, opened the small white flag door, let Zhang Xiaojun in, and whispered to the pointy-headed ghosts not to beat him anymore, lest he become so big that the small white flag couldn't hold him anymore.
