Chapter 83: Love Knows No Boundaries


    We tiptoed out of the room. In an attempt to not be seen by the other vigers, Yin Xinyue took us on a small path. Soon, we reached Fourth Uncles house.


    The rhythmic knocking sounds came from the room inside. I muttered to Yin Xinyue, You really cant hear anything?


    Yin Xinyue shook her head, confirming, Yeah, nothing.


    Its strange. Why am I the only one who can hear it?I silently pushed the window open and peeped in.


    Fourth Uncle was sitting in the same position as the day before; he was sitting on a chair, holding a stick and hitting the wooden fish.


    Although I had told Yin Xinyue and Li Mazi Fourth Uncles strange situation, when they saw him knocking on the wooden fish, their mouths were glued open in disbelief.


    Yin Xinyue was about to scream so I hurried to cover her mouth. Be quiet, dont talk. Get your phone and quickly record what he is doing.


    Yin Xinyue took out her phone, aimed it at Fourth Uncle and began recording. I could tell Yin Xinyue was terrified. Her hands were shaking so much I ended up having to record it all myself.


    Fourth Uncle knocked for several minutes before holding up the wooden fish and blowing into it. He continued like that for a while. All of a sudden, he dropped the wooden fish and opened his eyes, looking in the direction we were hiding in.


    My heart skipped a beat.Shit. We have been busted!


    I wondered if the wooden fish had spotted us or if it was Fourth Uncle himself.


    While I was thinking of what to do next, Fourth Uncle slowly got up.What is he doing?I was so anxious.Is he about to attack us?


    To be safe, I rushed Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue to the courtyard next door and observed Fourth Uncle from there instead.


    Fourth Uncle walked out with the wooden fish stuck on his forehead. He was staggering as if he was drunk.


    The wooden fish was adhered to his forehead, and no matter how hard he shook his head, it didnt fall off.


    He beganing towards the corner, picking up an iron shovel. I was startled. Instinctively, I thought that he was about to attack us. So, I drew the dagger I had kept at my waist.


    However, Fourth Uncle was not bothered by our presence in the slightest and he turned around and left the courtyard.


    It was pitch ck outside, the dead of night, we could even hear wolves howling. What was he about to do with that shovel? Was he going hunting? Well, if he wanted to hunt, he wouldnt have picked up a shovel.


    I didnt like to overthink it. Li Mazi, Yin Xinyue and I continued to follow him. Fourth Uncle lurched and knocked on someones door. When the door opened, he said, Wake up and get to work


    The vigers looked at Fourth Uncle strangely, like they were horrified. Fourth Uncle had his eyes shut and a wooden fish stuck on his forehead; his appearance made people shudder.


    I was afraid that they would wake up Fourth Uncle from his parasomnia, so I stood behind him, softly whispering to the vigers to ask them to do what Fourth Uncle said.


    The vigers were stunned. However, they seemed to know that it was the road-blocking ghost so they all listened to Fourth Uncles order. They found their shovels and followed him outside.


    Fourth Uncle yelled and summoned all the people in the vige. As it was the middle of the night, it caused a hugemotion.


    I asked Yin Xinyue tofort the vigers, telling them not to be scared. The road-blocking ghost was controlling Fourth Uncle. We wanted to see what it wanted and if anything dangerous were to happen, I was there to help.


    After Yin Xinyue hadforted them, people felt better, walking behind Fourth Uncle to the road leading to their vige.


    The cold moonlight shone on them, but the shadows from the trees leaves and branches blocked and hindered it, creating a big of shadows.


    I was worried that something dangerous might happen. I asked the vigers to stay and wait by the vige entrance while Li Mazi and I walked behind Fourth Uncle.


    When Fourth Uncle came to the ditch where many traffic idents had happened, his mouth curved into a bizarre smile. He then put the shovel down, saying, The luck of this ce isnt good. Whenever someone drives past, they will be somewhat dazed, and its easy to fall into the ditch. If we fill the ditch, we wont have to worry anymore...


    When I heard that, goosebumps rose on my skin. It wasnt Fourth Uncles voice at all. It was the voice of a senile woman! Although it was a little hoarse, it had a touch of kindness.


    The vigers were scared, their faces turned pale.


    While trying to fill the ditch, Fourth Uncle sighed, Its just a pity that my son died young, but it was his destiny.


    I was shocked. I knew the road-blocking ghost had just spoken!


    She was truly someone who had achieved enlightenment. Although the vigers had treated her, their benefactor, badly and they had even killed her son, she still repaid their grudge with kindness. She still cared about the vigers welfare.


    I wondered what the vigers were thinking? They all looked frightened and couldnt process what they were seeing, shivering in fear whilst watching Fourth Uncle.


    Fourth Uncle used his shovel to dig up soil and began to fill the ditch.I wiped my tears, grabbing the shovel from a man standing nearby. I walked forward and helped Fourth Uncle fill the ditch.


    After a while, the other vigers finally began to help, hurrying to us. At this moment, it seemed as though everyone was working together to help fill the ditch.


    Seeing the ditch about to be filled, Fourth Uncle suddenly trembled. He fell on the ground, his limbs convulsing.


    I immediately ran towards him and tried to help him.


    The wooden fish finally fell off his forehead.


    Fourth Uncle opened his eyes, drowsily looking around, his voice faint. Where am I? I I saw an old nun.


    I asked, Fourth Uncle, do you remember that we have just filled the ditch?


    Fourth Uncle hesitated then said, I have a faint memory of it.


    He looked at the site where people were working hard, his eyes reddening. Warrior, is it actually like what you said?


    I nodded, Im afraid so.


    Fourth Uncle kneeled, screaming and crying, me me! me me! I mistook our benefactor!


    I picked up the wooden fish, handing it to Fourth Uncle. Let it rest, too!Fourth Uncle nodded, burying the wooden fish in the ditch.


    Afterward, Fourth Uncle returned to the vige. Then, he held another feast to show his gratitude to the wooden fish. At the end, the vigers gathered to bury the pythons skeleton in the ditch.


    Later on, Yin Xinyue told me that no more traffic incidents have urred in that area. An investor hade and built roads in her hometown, helping out the vige massively.


    I strongly believed that it was the old nun who had protected themThere is a lot of darkness in life. But we should not ignore the light just because of the darkness. Just because there are bad people, we shouldnt conclude everybodyes to us with bad intention.


    Please be more forgiving and less harming! One shouldnt hurt the kind peoples heart.
