In the middle of the night, rustling sounds continued to pour into the small mountain village where Yang Xuewu and Gao Changgong were temporarily staying.

At first there was the sound of slow and chaotic footsteps.

The sounds were light and heavy, some sounded like the sound of sticky water, while others sounded like the sharp claws of wild animals hooked on the soil.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the owner of these footsteps dispersed with precise targets after entering the village.

The dogs kept in every household are usually the first to be woken up. They have always been responsible for night patrols and reconnaissance. Once they discover bandits or thieves, they always bark particularly loudly.

Generally speaking, when a dog starts barking at night, within a minute, the whole village will be filled with the sound of dogs barking.

Then, within five minutes, if one household wakes up, every household will wake up.

But... tonight is an exception...

After noticing the abnormality, all the dogs lost their barking instinct and instead collectively drooped their ears. Most of them chose to hide. The few that were brave enough could only hide in the dark and growl at the uninvited guests.

Soon, it tucked its tail between its legs again and let out a panicked whimper in shame.

“Knock, knock, knock, knock—”

The knocking sounds gradually increased, one house, two houses, three houses... In just a few breaths, the whole mountain village was filled with the sound of knocking on doors.

The persistent knocking on the door soon woke up the sleeping villagers, and soon someone rubbed his eyes and walked towards the door cursing.

As they walked, they shouted in a voice full of irritability:

"Who is this? Why are you not sleeping so late at night? You are in such a hurry, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated? "

Just as the villagers were about to open the door, a response suddenly came from outside:

"Yeah... I'm going to be reincarnated... Gouzhu... hurry up and open the door for me... Daddy is so cold... Please open the door..."

"I can't reincarnate... Cuifen... Master Wuchang said I can't reincarnate... so I came back..."

"Ho, ho, ho..."

Those voices sounded like those of men and women, old and young. Some sounded young and immature, while others sounded like wild wind blowing through a broken bellows, hoarse and unpleasant.

Others seemed to be unable to utter a sound. All that came out of their throats was the sound of the cold mountain wind blowing through their broken bodies, rushing in and then suddenly bursting out.

Very weird.

The owners of those voices kept calling out to the villagers inside to open the door for them. They shouted "son" and "flesh" and said they were "in so much pain" and "so cold".

These strange noises scared the villagers so much that their bad temper was cured in an instant. However, it was obvious that the treatment was overdone, and now their hands and feet are weak, and they dare not move even when holding on to the door.

A few hunters still had some courage because they had seen blood so often. Although their faces turned pale with fear from the wailing outside the door, they could at least make some trembling sounds to beg for mercy.

"Dad, Mom...you've been dead for more than ten years, why are you here with those newly dead ghosts to meddle in other people's affairs? Can't I burn more paper for you tomorrow? It's so cold outside, you should go back to the fields!"

The hunter's son's dead father and mother were obviously much more impatient than other "people". Seeing that the person in the room did not open the door for them for a long time, they scratched the flimsy wooden door hard.

The little door was slammed with a bang.

"Open the door quickly! There are bugs biting me! You are the ungrateful ones, and you are the ones who are doing all this evil... you were too idle to do anything kind... now you are in trouble, because you took in the monster... that's why Lord Wuchang won't let us reincarnate!"

After hearing this, the trembling hunter suddenly realized and remembered the strange-looking grandfather and grandson who had entered the village a few days ago.

At the same time, the villagers from other families also learned from their ancestors who crawled out of the graves that they had taken in the evil spirit, and they all regretted it in their hearts.

——I’ve told you long ago that those who can walk freely in this troubled world are not good people!

What's more, they were an old and weak couple, which was even more bizarre. They were able to run around in the chaotic world and still save their lives, especially when there were women who were more likely to be targeted by evil people...

Doesn't this prove that they are either powerful people or have great abilities and are responsible for countless lives!

But why didn't they think of this doubt at the beginning?

It was not until this moment that their ancestors revealed the secret that they realized something was wrong. It was really strange.

Unless everything is as the ancestors said, and the grandfather and grandson are indeed monsters, they can be bewitched and ignore those things that are wrong!

The hunter felt anxious and angry when he thought about how he had once had a crush on that fair and beautiful woman, and how many prey he had sent to them in the past few days to nourish their bodies.

These two monsters are so abominable that they even caused our ancestors to resurrect!

In this way, the living and the dead were in a stalemate for the entire night, until the end of the night, when the cockcrowed three times. Then the dead who crawled out began to curse again, and before the sun came out, they dragged their heavy footsteps and slowly crawled back to their own graves.

The living people guarded the door tremblingly until daybreak, when no sound could be heard from outside. Then they carefully opened the door and looked around.

During this period, many people made eye contact with their neighbors who were doing the same thing. Looking at the smelly traces of blood and flesh on their doors, they stared at each other in silence for a long time. They only saw in each other's eyes the same inexplicable horror in their own hearts.

"Oh my goodness... our ancestors were so mad at us that they got up..."

"Yes, they are not very smart. They were busy fighting with the door and didn't know to climb through the window..."

"Puh, puh, puh, stop talking like that! What if my dad hears you and learns from you?"

"So, what should we do?"

"The reason our ancestors rose to life is because we took in evil spirits. Let's go, everyone, grab your weapons and go fight the monsters!"

"Let's go! In order to help my mother reincarnate soon, let's go fight the monsters!"

As soon as the voice fell, the others followed suit. Soon, the villagers gathered together angrily, waving their pots, pans, rakes and sickles, ready to fight the monster together.

At that time, Yang Xuewu was packing her things and was about to leave this small mountain village with simple people. She felt a little reluctant in her heart!

After all, as a celestial being with a destiny bestowed upon her, she always seemed to be treated with the greatest kindness wherever she went.

She always took it for granted that the villagers would send her the fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs that they were reluctant to eat.
