"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, the village is haunted every night. You should rest first. It won't be too late to go hunting for ghosts tomorrow." The village chief yawned as he spoke, and casually drew the curtains to block Jiang Buyan.

"It's a fierce ghost! If you don't get out quickly, it will cause disaster!" Jiang Buyan raised his head and looked at the sky. The resentment there had gathered into a tornado-like shape, constantly gathering resentment toward the center.

"Oops! Aren't you here? What kind of disaster could there be? Mr. Jiang is dedicated and needs to pay attention to his body and rest. Go back to bed quickly. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow." The village chief said perfunctorily and stopped talking to Jiang. Say nothing and let her shout outside the window.

As a harsh cry pierced the sky, the resentment on his head disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Jiang Buyan froze, his whole body shuddered, and he couldn't help but clench his hands.

The evil ghost...has come to this world...

She couldn't think too much. Since the village chief was unwilling to open the door, she would think of other ways!

Looking around, she saw that apart from some farm tools, there was nothing to stand on, so she had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house to move a chair to rest her feet.

As soon as she turned around, she found a middle-aged woman in plain clothes and braids timidly standing behind the door and peeking at her.

She had met this woman not long ago. She was the village chief's daughter-in-law, named Qiu Cui, and it was she who brought her hot water at night.

Qiu Cui is not good-looking, with dark skin, a puffy body, big hands and feet, and empty eyes. Most of the time, she has a submissive look, taking care of the village chief and his family like a hard-working but miserable buffalo.

Jiang Buyan quickly looked away and rushed back into the house to move a chair. He was stopped halfway by Qiu Cui.

She looked around anxiously, and when she saw that no one was there, she pulled Jiang Buyan's sleeve and whispered, "Follow me..."

Jiang Buyan looked at her, guessed what she meant immediately, nodded and followed.

Following Qiu Cui, Jiang Buyan came to the backyard of the village chief's house. There was a dilapidated small wooden door blocked by firewood, which could barely pass through for a person.

Qiu Cui skillfully pushed open the wooden door, made way for Jiang Buyan to leave.

She seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Don't come back."

After that, Qiu Cui closed the wooden door with a creak, moved firewood to block it, and tiptoed back into the room.

Jiang Buyan looked at the closed wooden door in confusion, without delving into the meaning of her words, and rushed towards the house where he was angry.

but……

She's still too late...

By the time she rushed to the door of that house out of breath, there was no smell of ghosts there. What was even more strange was that all the resentment on the heads of every household in the village had disappeared, leaving nothing behind, as if it had never been there.

The devil was very smart and knew that he was weak when he was born and was no match for Jiang Buyan, so he left here as soon as he was born to avoid her pursuit.

The corners of Jiang Buyan's mouth raised slightly. She was a ghost exorcist, how could she let the evil ghost escape?

Four yellow talisman papers were lined up and suspended in front of her, and then they quickly unfolded and shot like four arrows in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

A few minutes later, a flash of yellow light suddenly appeared on the talisman in the west.

Li Gui, found it!

Jiang Buyan immediately twisted the talisman and ran towards it, not forgetting to put on the peach stone bracelet in his bag on the way.

There is also a mountain to the west of Guai Village. This mountain is sparsely populated and has dense trees. There are occasional birds chirping in the forest.

Jiang Buyan used his own flashlight and walked in the direction pointed by the talisman.

But the further she walked, the more she felt something was wrong. The surrounding trees grew longer and denser, with almost no place to step, and an unpleasant stench filled the air.

It seems to be floating from above the head...

She looked up curiously and saw a nylon sack hanging from the fork of almost every tree around her.

There are big and small sacks, and most of them are small. There seemed to be something bulging inside, and the stench came from inside.

Just as Jiang Buyan was thinking about whether to climb a tree and untie it, a little girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What are you doing here, sister?"

"Who?" Jiang Buyan turned around suddenly and saw a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

She had unkempt hair, a sallow complexion, and looked malnourished. She was wearing shabby boy's clothes and a pair of slippers with broken straps. She was dragging a nylon bag like the one on the tree by her feet.

"Are you a village boy? What are you doing here at night?" Jiang Buyan stared at her and asked without answering.

The little girl stared at her silently and said nothing. Then she struggled to carry the sacks and walked towards a tree. She tried her best to stack the sacks on the branch of the tree. She seemed worried and pulled out a rope to fix the sack to the branch. .

"What's in here?" Jiang Buyan stepped forward to help her hold the sack. He found that the contents inside were cold and stiff, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Dead cat." The little girl replied concisely.

The strange smell Jiang Buyan smelled before was the putrid stench emanating from the corpses of these dead cats.

She was shocked, not because of the cat, but because the little girl had traveled so far in the middle of the night for a dead cat.

She was dubious and couldn't help but look at the sack a few more times and asked, "Are they all here?"

"Well, aren't you leaving?" the little girl clapped her hands and asked.

"I'm looking for something." Jiang Buyan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. How could a child's eyes be so numb?

"Oh, can you give me the flashlight? It's too dark on the road and I'm scared." The little girl asked, staring at the flashlight in Jiang Buyan's hand.

Jiang Buyan was speechless. Scared? So how did she get here? And with a dead cat.

She shook her head and naturally rejected the little girl.

The rejected little girl didn't bother much. She simply said "Oh" and pretended to leave. In fact, Jiang Buyan grabbed her flashlight without any precautions and ran out of the woods without looking back.

"You! You naughty kid!" Jiang Buyan looked at her angrily, then chased after her and tried to take back the flashlight.

The little girl relied on her familiarity with the terrain to hide here and there, shaking the flashlight in her hand from time to time to show off, as if she was deliberately teasing Jiang Buyan.

After chasing for a while, Jiang Buyan got tired. She waved her hands at the little girl and said breathlessly: "Forget it, you should go home early."

Seeing that she didn't chase her, the little girl curled her lips, threw the flashlight to her, and shouted loudly: "You should leave quickly, don't go there!"

"Ah?" Jiang Buyan doubtfully picked up the flashlight and looked around, only to realize that during the chase with the little girl, she had unknowingly walked out of the strange woods and returned to the place where she entered the mountain.

That kid... did it on purpose.

This idea suddenly appeared in Jiang Buyan's mind. The more she was not allowed to go, the more curious she became.

What secrets are hidden in those woods?

Jiang Buyan pressed her fingers together again, twisting the talisman to look for the direction just now. The strange thing was that she couldn't find it this time.
