This discovery made Shen Yue''s heart skip a beat, and cold sweat immediately broke out on her back.
Shen Yue watched inconspicuously.
She saw the little ghost crawl straight past the uncle, towards her.
Shen Yue didn''t move, nor did she look at the little ghost.
The little ghost suddenly made a fierce grimace at her. Shen Yue saw it from the corner of her eye but had to pretend not to see.
Seeing this, the little ghost ignored her and crawled straight into the room.
Shen Yue looked carefully and realized that this little ghost seemed to have an injury on its hind legs, so it could only crawl on the ground.
After the little ghost crawled into the kitchen, Shen Yue leaned against the doorframe, casually watching the activity in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the aunt was tidying up the utensils.
The little ghost played around for a while, then crawled to the aunt''s legs.
Then it climbed up.
It quickly climbed onto the aunt''s back, a small grayish-white hand resting on the aunt''s shoulder, almost floating behind her.
But the aunt had no reaction at all.
Watching this scene, Shen Yue was a bit uncertain.
She decided to try something, so she walked in front of the aunt.
"Auntie, I want to ask, are there any children''s toys here? I have a little niece at home, and I promised to bring her back some toys this time."
"Toys?" The aunt was startled for a moment.
"Yes, do you have any?"
"No, no, my children are all grown up, who still plays with toys?" The aunt laughed.
Shen Yue suddenly noticed the bamboo sticks used for burning behind the stove, and an idea flashed through her mind.
"Then, Auntie, can I use those to make a small toy myself?"
"Ah, those are all unwanted, if you can make something, go ahead and take them, just be careful not to hurt your hands."
Shen Yue responded affirmatively.
She went over and took a bamboo stick, carved it a few times with a knife, then found a piece of paper, and quickly made a crude little pinwheel.
During this time, the little ghost had already crawled down from the aunt''s back and was sitting right next to Shen Yue, watching her curiously.
Normally, if a cute child was sitting nearby, Shen Yue would be happy.
But now this child, with its eyes open without pupils, was staring straight at her. Shen Yue was extremely nervous, and accidentally hurt her hand.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
After making the pinwheel, Shen Yue put it aside.
She then tidied up the remaining scraps.
After finishing, Shen Yue acted as if she had forgotten about the toy she had just made and turned to walk out of the kitchen.
At this moment, the little ghost finally couldn''t resist anymore, its grayish-white little hand had already touched the pinwheel.
The pinwheel was now in the little ghost''s hand.
The little ghost was very clever, it blew on the pinwheel, and it started to spin.
The aunt was right there, but had no reaction.
Shen Yue hadn''t actually left, she was hiding behind the kitchen door watching this scene. Seeing the pinwheel in the little ghost''s hand and the aunt''s reaction, she understood.
"Oh my, I''m so forgetful, I forgot the pinwheel," Shen Yue said deliberately as she walked back.
When she returned, the pinwheel had been put back by the little ghost. It was back in its original place.
Shen Yue picked up the pinwheel and glanced at the aunt.
The aunt seemed not to care, still doing her own thing.
A chill suddenly ran through Shen Yue''s heart.
She took the pinwheel and walked out, catching sight of the little ghost crawling out after her from the corner of her eye. It seemed to really want the pinwheel in her hand.
Shen Yue quickly remembered being startled by the little ghost when she woke up in bed.
"This is too ugly, ah, I won''t take it back after all."
So, she casually put the pinwheel down.
Seeing this, the little ghost indeed stopped following her.
Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief. After getting rid of the little ghost, she quickly went to find Kun Yao. Just as she turned a corner, she saw Kun Yao.
Kun Yao was looking at something, her expression serious.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I''ve discovered that every household in this village seems to have a coffin," Kun Yao looked at her. "Every household having a coffin is too strange."
"How do you know?"
Shen Yue was puzzled, "Did you go into people''s homes to look?"
"No, I just saw the coffins in those empty stone houses."
"Did you open them to look?" Shen Yue asked curiously.
Kun Yao shook her head: "No."
Shen Yue also told her about her own discoveries.
Kun Yao was also a bit surprised: "So, apart from Fan Quguang and the others who can''t see, you and I and those villagers can all see that little ghost?"
Shen Yue thought for a moment: "I''m not sure if it''s like that."
"I want to go look at another place."
Shen Yue was taken aback: "Then I''ll go with you."
Kun Yao nodded.
Shen Yue followed Kun Yao to another stone house at the edge of the village.
Shen Yue watched as Kun Yao walked to the coffin, she looked at the coffin, and suddenly her expression changed slightly.
"What''s wrong?" Shen Yue asked hurriedly.
Kun Yao crouched down, looking at the bottom of the coffin: "Look here."
Shen Yue didn''t understand, but she also bent down to look.
"This..."
The position of this coffin had moved.
When they came before, it was in the middle of the stone house, but now the coffin''s position was slightly off.
"Someone moved it?"
"It would take several people to move such a heavy coffin," Kun Yao said.
Shen Yue understood her meaning: "But... it seems no one else has been here all afternoon except for us."
"Could the coffin have moved by itself?"
As soon as she said it, Shen Yue was startled by her own words. Just thinking about it was too creepy.
A moment of silence.
Unable to get an answer, they could only go back.
On the way, Shen Yue kept glancing at Kun Yao several times until the other person could no longer ignore it.
"If you want to ask something, just ask."
Shen Yue raised an eyebrow slightly: "Well, you told me to ask."
"If you''re not going to ask, then don''t speak."
"No, wait, I''ve never had the chance to ask you," Shen Yue paid attention to Kun Yao''s expression. "I really want to know, what happened that night?"
Kun Yao stopped, "That night, I don''t know what happened either."
Shen Yue: "? You don''t know what you did yourself?"
"Right, I''m not clear either. I just felt my whole body was in pain, especially my head, like it was being squeezed hard by something, and there were many voices."
"Voices? Saying what?"
"I couldn''t hear clearly, too many voices intertwined, almost exploding my head. And my body, it felt like it was about to be torn apart."
At this point, the usually cold Kun Yao actually sighed.
"That feeling was too painful, so I couldn''t control myself."
Shen Yue''s eyes darted around: "But when you woke up the next day, you were like nothing had happened."
Kun Yao glanced at her, then lowered her gaze: "You came at a very timely moment."
Shen Yue''s hand twitched: "But you attacked me at that time."
"I told you to leave, but you didn''t listen to me," Kun Yao said.
"...So you were really prepared to kill me at that time?" Shen Yue''s voice trembled.
Kun Yao fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
