Zhang Jinsheng quickly bought sleeping pills and laxatives. Several of us held down Zhang Jinxia and made her drink sleeping pills first to suppress the onset of Fengshensan. She waited until dawn to drink laxatives to expel the toxins. Zhang Jinxia fell asleep soon after drinking the medicine. Zhang Jinsheng and Zhang Jiushan finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their heads.
Zhang Jinsheng then noticed that there was a woman in mourning in the room, and his face was full of confusion.
I pulled him outside and said, "I'll borrow this place for today. A ghost might be released later. Don't get scared." Zhang Jinsheng was panicked when he heard this. He went in and called Zhang Jiushan out and closed the door for us.
There were only three of us and the sleeping Zhang Jinxia in the room. The woman looked at the closed door in surprise and asked, "Aren't we leaving?"
I put my hands behind my back and said, "No hurry, let me ask you a question first. Is your husband's name Zhang Xiaojun?"
Shen Bing had already put her on the chair. She rolled her eyes with a cunning look and nodded: "Yes, how did you know?"
"Have you forgotten that we went to your house to pay respects to the deceased at noon?"
"Oh, it's you. How did you know our Xiaojun?" She said with tears in her eyes and a sad look on her face.
I sneered and said, "We met in the woods behind the mountain today."
She trembled suddenly, her face full of shock, staring at me and Shen Bing with her beautiful eyes, and a stiff smile appeared on her face: "Don't scare me."
Shen Bing interrupted and said, "I didn't lie to you. I just didn't know him in the woods. I only met him after I came back from your funeral."
The woman suddenly slid down and fell to the ground. Her face was pale and she asked in a trembling voice, "Is he... is he... okay?"
I said coldly, "You said that becoming a wandering ghost, unable to go home, is not good?"
"Why can't he go home? Is he hooking up with another woman outside?" She said this, but lowered her head, not daring to meet our eyes.
"Ridiculous!" I snorted coldly, and then said, "How can a ghost hook up with women outside? Unless some women are unfaithful to their husbands and seduce rich men..." At this point, I observed her expression and saw that her face turned pale and blue. It was obvious that she had something to hide.
Shen Bing still didn't know what I meant. She pulled down my sleeve and whispered, "Don't scare me. What nonsense are you talking about?"
I ignored her and stared at the woman and said, "Is Xiaojun hooking up with other women outside? Ask him in person and I'll call him out." Then I took out a small white flag.
The woman's face suddenly froze, her eyes filled with terror, and she shouted at me, "Who are you and why are you..." Just as she said this, she suddenly saw Zhang Xiaojun appear in front of her. She screamed in fright, leaned back in her chair and fainted.
Shen Bing looked at me with a puzzled expression. I understood what she was thinking. Logically speaking, even if she was scared, she shouldn't have such a big reaction when she saw her husband's ghost, unless she had done something wrong to her husband.
Zhang Jinsheng thought Zhang Jinxia was calling him, so he pushed the door open and stuck his head in to speak, but when he saw a ghost in the room, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his head and closed the door tightly.
Zhang Xiaojun stood there looking at his lovely wife, his face showing a look of both heartache and hatred. He was unable to utter a word for a long time. She looked distraught, and there must be an unspeakable story in her mind.
