The forbidden area is at the top of the hill at the end of the village. It takes at least forty minutes to get there and then climb to the top.

This is still the speed of young adults.

If you carry a sedan up there, it will take an hour.

There were people taking turns to carry the sedan chair, and the mountain road in the forbidden area was extremely difficult to walk because almost no one had walked on it, so it was covered with thorns.

There were still two villagers ahead with sickles to chop through the thorns blocking the road, so the speed was even slower.

I opened the curtain of the sedan and looked out at the darkness, and the gloomy air was getting heavier and heavier.

"Snakes carry sedans, ghosts send relatives, grudges from the past life, retribution in this life... yaa..."

Suddenly, a resentful opera song came from the front.

Isn't this singing voice that of the female ghost from before?

When I got on the snake sedan from the old ancestral hall, it was the voice of this female ghost.

I didn't feel much about the lyrics of this opera before. I only felt that the tune was very resentful and full of hatred.

But now that I listen carefully, these lyrics make me feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Enmity in the past life, revenge in this life?

This clearly means revenge. Why would the female ghost sing such an opera ballad?

Moreover, starting from my eighteenth birthday, this opera ballad often appeared in my dreams.

Until more than a month after I married Snake King, I never had such a dream again.

Could this female ghost be the victim?

But I quickly rejected this idea. Although the female ghost seemed to be a thousand-year-old ghost, she had never harmed us.

If she is really the person who was killed by the ancestors of Lujia Village in the past, and her ghost is still wandering in the village now, she will definitely take revenge.

"Did you hear anyone singing?" Li Dazhu asked with a trembling voice.

"I heard it..." Other villagers also replied with trembling voices.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We have a peace charm. The ghosts don't dare to mess with us. Let's keep moving forward." A slightly older villager tried hard to suppress his fear and said in a deep voice to everyone.

"Let's walk faster." Although Li Tiedan was bitten by a snake at noon today and a piece of meat came out, he still followed him slowly.

His foot was injured and he was not allowed to carry the sedan chair. His only task was to beat the gong and set off firecrackers.

The female ghost's singing was far away and sometimes close, as if floating around us.

None of the villagers had yin and yang eyes, so they couldn't see the female ghost. However, I could see the female ghost in costume, floating not far away, dancing and singing in the air.

I squinted my eyes, and under the moonlight, I could vaguely see the female ghost's face in the waving of her sleeves.

Yes, this female ghost is the one who watched me get on the snake sedan before.

In order to scare away the female ghost, or to embolden themselves, the gong robbers banged the gong louder and set off firecrackers more intensively.

My eardrums were almost deafened by what I heard. I couldn't help but reach out and cover my ears. Only then did I feel that the noisy gong was a little quieter.

Leaning on the sedan chair, I simply closed my eyes and rested my mind.

The female ghost kept singing songs around the sedan, far and near, but did not do anything else.

This made the villagers think that the female ghosts were afraid of the talismans on their bodies, so they relaxed a little.

We even started talking and laughing, and started imagining that as long as I married the snake king, everything would be fine.

And they didn't shy away from it at all. I was listening to them say this in the sedan chair, and they still said it very loudly.

I couldn't help but sneer, so, is this bad human nature inherited?

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Lujia Village did something insidious and harmful to others.

Thousands of years later, their descendants can still send me, a living person, into a dangerous place regardless of life or death, just to keep them in peace.

Suddenly, in the gap between the gong and the sound of the gong, I heard the sound of crawling and the hissing of a snake.

Hearing this voice sent shivers down my spine even more than hearing a female ghost singing an opera.

I immediately opened my eyes, sat up straight, opened the curtain, and looked outside.

"Great, look, the forbidden area is almost here." Li Tiedan pointed forward and shouted in surprise.

I looked in the direction he was pointing. Yes, this was a forbidden area, and it was covered with talismans and seals.

"Everyone, hurry up and carry the sedan chair to the forbidden area so that we can go down the mountain." Li Dazhu shouted to everyone at the top of his voice.

"Okay." The villagers responded excitedly, and immediately there was wind under their feet and they walked faster.

And I kept hearing hissing sounds coming from all directions, which made my hair stand on end.

I couldn't help but think of the terrifying scene of thousands of snakes blocking the way when my parents took me away from Lujiacun.

"Ah, snake, snake." Before I could react, I heard the villagers walking in front scream in fear.

Sure enough, I saw a lot of snakes coming from all around. Thousands of snakes, spitting out snake letters, crawled towards us.

"Let's go quickly." Li Dazhu immediately threw away the sedan chair and took Li Tiedan with him to rush out of the circle of snakes.

The others also followed Li Dazhu and fled in a hurry. They didn't care about me at all and threw me down.

When I saw so many snakes, I was so frightened that my face turned pale, my whole body was cold from head to toe, my limbs were limp, and I couldn't even take any action to escape.

"Ah, help me..."

When a group of snakes besieging us saw Li Dazhu and the others escaping, they immediately turned around and chased them.

Li Dazhu and the others ran down the mountain almost half-rolling, half-climbing, and soon disappeared, but I kept hearing the screams of the villagers.

I don't know what the situation is like over there, because now I'm trembling with fear.

There were still some snakes left, and they were swarming in the direction of the sedan. I could almost imagine the terrifying scene of me being entangled by the snakes.

There are so many snakes. If one snake bites me, I can turn into bones in an instant.

I put down the curtain of the sedan chair and curled up. I thought I was very brave now, at least I wouldn't be so scared when I saw snakes.

But I am still very scared now, and the tears of fear are squeezed out of my eyes. Like an ostrich, I close my eyes tightly and bury my head in my arms.

If I really want to be bitten to death by so many snakes, then let me be bitten to death with my eyes closed. Seeing so many snakes, I feel like my heart will stop with fear.

I could hear the hissing and crawling sounds of snakes already under the sedan.

I thought about snakes crawling up and getting into the curtain, and I was attacked by the snakes and died, and I soon became the ghost of the snake mouth.

Shivering, I felt that the sedan moved, but the snake did not climb up.

On the contrary, the sedan seemed to be moving.

I couldn't help but froze for a moment, suppressed my fear, quietly opened one eye, and looked in the direction of the sedan curtain with fear, but I didn't see any snake climbing up.

"Snakes carry sedans, ghosts send relatives, grudges from the past life will be repaid in this life..." The opera song of the female ghost came from not far away again.

I felt that the sedan was being carried forward, so I couldn't help but lift the curtain of the sedan and look down.
