Lao Wang's family invited nine Taoist priests to come over and perform rituals, planning to perform a grand ceremony.

"Why are you inviting nine? Didn't you say that five is enough before? If someone passes away in our village, there are three or four. There are nine Taoist priests. Each Taoist priest costs 500 coins. These nine are four.

Five taels of silver have gone out, the old Wang family is really burning with money!"

The people in the village started discussing this matter again.

"Hehe, Lao Wang's family is in a hurry this time because they have too much money. Haven't you seen so many prominent people from the town and county come to pay their respects?"

"If Lao Wang's family manages this funeral, they can still make a fortune, otherwise it would be impossible to invite nine Taoist priests to come over and perform great rituals at once!"

"Hey, even if you have money, you don't have the money to spend it like this? If you spend so much on a dead person, you might as well leave more for the living."

"The two grandsons of Lao Wang's family are already ten years old. It seems that in six or seven years the two eldest grandsons will get married together. It will cost a lot of money!"

"Hey, you guys, don't worry about the old Wang family here," another village woman came to join the chat group,

"You all don't know the inside story, but I know it. I just came from Lao Wang's family, and a daughter-in-law of Lao Wang's family told me in private!"

The newly joined woman said with a mysterious face.

Several other women were immediately attracted, "What's the inside story?"

"Of course it's about the nine Taoist priests!" said the new woman.

"Lao Wang's family is going to do a great ritual this time. Nine Taoist priests can't do it, and they can't suppress those dirty things!" she said again.

"Dirty things? What dirty things? How did you say this? Tell us quickly..."

Several women immediately surrounded the new woman and asked...

At the same time, in the east room of Lao Yang's old house.

Mrs. Tan was lying on the bed with a scarf tied on her head. Her face was pale and she could hardly speak.

"Third brother, take my words to Mei'er. You must take them to me."

"Let alone nine Taoist priests, even if it is eighteen Taoist priests, we will hire them. Don't worry about the money."

"Among these ghosts, the hanging ghost is the most ferocious, and all the other little ghosts have to make way for it."

"Mei'er's mother-in-law is the most vicious right now. She has been coming to see me every night these past two nights, making me unable to sleep well. Half of my life is almost gone."

"Hurry up and let the Taoist priest perform rituals, give her a good salvation, and let her bury her in peace as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to suffer from this old fate!" Tan said.

Yang Huazhong nodded repeatedly and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll go and tell Mei'er right away. I'll start doing the rituals this afternoon and send her up to the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Tan added: "Third brother, go and plan with your father and the others. No matter what happens, a man will be sent to my room tonight."

"Without Yang Qi, I can't control it. I'm afraid that the ghost of Shuan Zi Niang will come to me again!" she said.

Yang Huazhong said: "Mom, that is a ridiculous dream that your body has made, or it is an illusion."

"Ms. Qing'er said that she and her fourth brother and sister will come here to keep you company tonight, so that you can have a good night's sleep," he said.

Mrs. Tan said: "Just pull down the fourth daughter-in-law. She stayed in my house last night. I was so scared that I couldn't wake her up no matter how hard I screamed."

"You're sleeping like a dead pig. You'd better ask Qing'er's mother to bring Qing'er with her. Qing'er is very evil, I'm sure she can calm it down..."

"Nai, what do you mean I'm so angry? Why can't you put it nicely when you ask for help?"

A crisp voice came from the door of the house, directly interrupting Tan's words.

It was Yang Ruoqing who accompanied Sun.

Seeing the mother and daughter arriving, Yang Huazhong said: "Then you stay with the old lady first, while I go to Lao Wang's house first."

Mrs. Sun nodded, and mother and daughter immediately came to the bed.

Yang Ruoqing picked up the previous topic and said: "Mistress, I just asked you, what do you mean I am evil? Could it be that I am a murderer and arsonist?"

Tan curled his lips, a little embarrassed on his face.

"I did not mean that……"

"What does that mean?"

"What I mean is that you are so righteous that evil cannot prevail against good." Tan added.

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, thinking that you, an old lady, are quick to talk, otherwise, I would really have to argue with you.

When Mrs. Tan heard that Yang Ruoqing didn't bother her about her previous words, she guessed that Yang Ruoqing had let her go, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "Mother Qing'er, why don't you come over to keep me company tonight? In the past two nights, Mother Shuanzi has tortured me so much that I can't live peacefully!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Mom, don't think too much, maybe it's the wind outside..."

Tan shook his head: "Old lady, I've lived for most of my life, can't I tell what is the sound of wind and what is the cry of ghosts?"

On the side, Yang Ruoqing said: "Mistress, tell us, what kind of ghostly cries are there at night? How are you sure it's Dabai's grandma?"

Tan said: "It's a female ghost crying, who could it be if she wasn't her?"

"Maybe it's the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind blowing the branches." Yang Ruoqing added.

Tan shook his head again, "It wasn't the wind. On the first night, I was in a daze when I heard someone crying outside the yard. It was a woman's voice."

"I pricked up my ears and listened, and the more I listened, the more permeable it became. Then I covered myself with a quilt and stopped listening. The sound disappeared after crying for a while."

"I breathed a sigh of relief. The sound was gone, but in the middle of the night, I fell asleep in a daze,"

"I don't know if it's a dream or real, but I feel like there's an extra person in this room..."

After hearing what Tan said, Sun subconsciously touched her arm.

Yang Ruoqing then asked Tan: "What about last night? What happened?"

Mrs. Tan said: "Last night I asked your fourth aunt to come over and keep me company. I would sleep on the bed and she would sleep in the small shop over there."

"She is a pig. She makes such a loud noise as soon as she lies down that I can't even sleep."

"Then I don't know when I fell asleep. Originally, I had this quilt covering my neck. In the dream, I felt like someone was tugging at my quilt."

"I reached out and pulled the quilt back. After a while, the quilt was pulled back again. I grabbed it again, and this time I caught a cold hand, which almost scared me to death."

When Tan said this, he subconsciously hugged his shoulders and shrank back.

Mrs. Sun also secretly took a breath of cold air, only Yang Ruoqing still stood there as calm as Mount Tai.

"Is everything okay later?" she asked Tan.

Mrs. Tan said: "It's okay. I yelled for a while before I finally woke up your fourth aunt. I asked her to come to the bed to sleep with me."

"She is really a pig, dirtier and smellier than a pig."

"I couldn't stand the shouting, so I had to sleep with my head covered under the quilt."

"She farted inside the quilt again, one after another, and her farts were all over the quilt. It almost smoked me to death. I was really tortured these past two nights!"

Tan family complained a lot.

But Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but want to laugh, and Mrs. Sun couldn't help laughing either.
