Chapter 31: The Best Brother in the World 5

WARNING: A murder scene ahead

“Village Head, you didn’t bluff us, did you? You said that the little girl turned into a ghost and came to you. How could that be possible?”

Oldman Zhang and his three sons called into Lin Youde’s house. Now it was still daytime. In addition to the lights on, Lin Youde’s room had lit more than a dozen candles. Lin Youcai was shivering on the Kang57Kanga heatable brick bed with the quilt wrapped around him. Obviously, he had not recovered.

“The little girl isn’t the only woman who has died on us in recent decades, still…”

Oldman Zhang still wanted to go on, but after careful consideration, those women who died before were trying to kill themselves, and that woman was different. She was killed by Lin Youde when she was dragged onto the Kang by Lin Youde.

Are that people who were killed more resentful?

Oldman Zhang was shaking, and some of them could not speak.

In his opinion, his family was completely innocent. She was a beautiful and vivid daughter-in-law. Maybe she was pregnant now after being confined. If Lin Youde did not interfere with her, she would never have happened later.

At present, he could not sit still. He felt that the house of the Lin family was too gloomy, not like a proper place. Looking back, the girl died in this room.

He vaguely looked at the small cabinet on the Kang of the Lin family and swallowed his saliva.

“Brother, she must have come to revenge. Brother, shall we go down the mountain?”

What Lin Youcai saw was the truth. The blood hole eyes were still circling in his mind. Big Brother did not see the ghost with his own eyes, so he barely kept calm now, but he saw it with his own eyes. After that, he saw the female ghost reaching out to strangle his big brother, but did not know why she left before he fought her.

Lin Youcai did not want to die. Their life was more pitiful than ordinary people. He had money and a son, and he did not want to lose his life because of some of his brother’s mistakes.

“What goes down the mountain? The drawbridge at the mountain top has broken. Our village has completely trapped in the mountains. We can only wait for the people at the bottom of the mountain to come up or for the signal tower to be repaired, and call for help.”

Lin Youde’s fierce-looking face became increasingly dreadful, and he dropped his fist stiffly.

“Isn’t she a ghost? I, your father, can kill her when she’s alive. She becomes a ghost, and I, your father, lets her be terror-stricken.”

Lin Youde’s words made Oldman Zhang and his three sons look at each other, and they could not help but feel cold.

“Brother, how do you know that the drawbridge at the top of the mountain has broken? Did you go to see it last night?” Lin Youcai, wrapped in a thick quilt, suddenly realized something was wrong and asked his big brother Lin Youde.

Lin Youde’s ferocious face had a stagnant expression. He did not know how to explain the problem. Could he say that he ran to the top of the mountain as soon as it was bright today and was ready to go down?

“Actually, Village Head, do you think it’s just the illusion of you two after drinking too much?”

Oldman Zhang’s eldest son, Dachun, could not help saying, “There are no supernatural beings in the world. Besides, did Sister-in-law Lin and Dani’er hear any noise last night?”

“No, the four of them were eating in the kitchen, when I ran out of the kitchen, they plainly said that they didn’t hear anything.”

Lin Youde did not think it was an illusion. He only drank two or three wines last night. How could that little wine make him mentally confused? Besides, the feeling of being pinched by nails on his neck last night was real.

“Village Head, what do you think we should do?”

Oldman Zhang felt that his son’s words were reasonable and did not get panicky immediately.

“Ghosts come out at night. You stay at my house tonight. I’ve prepared all the things that drive them away, such as black dog blood, cockscomb, and peach wood branch. That woman is a ghost, just a new ghost. She must be afraid of these things.”

Lin Youde put the things he collected in the daytime on the table, “We six men have a lot of Yang energy. Female ghosts don’t necessarily dare to come over.:

Oldman Zhang was timid. He dare not get involved in these things. Besides, he indeed thought that the girl’s death had nothing to do with their family. He just wanted the girl to have some grandchildren for him and not her life. Lin Youde killed people with too much strength. If one wanted to pay for her life, she should go to him.

“What? Unwilling?”

Lin Youde was holding a machete, and his face was quite serious. The threat he revealed did not give Oldman Zhang and his three sons any chance to resist at all.

“Just… just… in the evening, Dad, I want to see my daughter-in-law… wife, give birth to children… children…”

Oldman Zhang’s demented youngest son said with saliva to Oldman Zhang. Oldman Zhang was helpless toward this stupid son and sighed, agreed to Lin Youde’s request.

That night, it was darker than usual, and it was still rainy. Lin Youde drove his wife and three daughters to his little brother Lin Youcai’s old house, which was uninhabitable.

It was not that he had a sincere heart for his wife and daughters. But it was just because the elder in the village said that women were liable to Yin energy and were easy to be possessed by ghosts. Especially when they met a female one, it was more of a problem to deal with if they had a body, so he drove them away before dark.

The six big men ate a few steamed buns in the evening and sat on the Kang with backs to backs, staring at the doors and windows without blinking.

“What time is it, Village Head? Isn’t it true that your younger brother scared himself when he drank too much wine that day?”

Oldman Zhang was old and could not sleep well, but he could still hold on. The trouble was that some of his sons, especially the stupid one with dementia, had gone to bed an hour ago.

“Impossible.”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, the window slammed open, and the candles in the room were extinguished by the wind in an instant.

Oldman Zhang bristled with fear and took those peach wood branches soaked in black dog blood to protect his chest. He was upset about why he promised Lin Youde to stay before.

It was pretty strange. The window just bolted firmly, and they had checked it several times. What kind of wind could blow it open?

“Don’t come here!”

Lin Youcai was the first one to make a noise. He closed his eyes and waved the peach wood branch, slashed as if he saw something that he should not have seen.

“Youcai, Youcai, what do you see and where?”

Lin Youde and Oldman Zhang were on their backs. They were trembling, looked at Lin Youcai, and asked.

“Ghost, the female ghost is coming.” Lin Youcai answered with a sob, and he wanted to faint.

“Where? Where’s the female ghost!”

Oldman Zhang almost shouted out. The more unknown the fear was, the more frightening it was. He did not see anything. If the female ghost was standing in front of him right now, wouldn’t he be dead?

“Aaaah, don’t come here. Lin Youde killed you. You should look for him to pay for your life.”

The second one who went crazy was Oldman Zhang’s eldest son. He waved the peach wood branch on his hands, and his eyes were almost bulging out. He rushed, and his face was obviously not very normal.

“Pooh.”

He seemed to have the courage to hold up the peach wood branch and poked it hard on the side. Suddenly, blood splashed all over the place. And one of them was his third brother, that one who screamed was the little fool.

His peach wood branch was inserted shockingly in the eyes of his little brother, Sanchun. It was pretty deep, and when he pulled it out, his brains came out.

“Sanchun!”

Oldman Zhang and his son, Erchun, exclaimed, unable to believe what they saw.

“Don’t come to me. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you.”

Zhang Dachun did not realize who he was killing. In his eyes, the one with blood on his face was the female ghost. He was about to kill her.

The sturdy branch stabbed Zhang Sanchun’s face following his movements. In his eyes, he took up a piece of flesh and blood. Soon the face could not be seen.

Oldman Zhang wanted to pull apart his eldest son after he had lost his mind for the first time. He killed his little brother, not the female ghost.

“Aaah—”

Before his hand touched this eldest son’s arm, his second son beside him began to go crazy. He lifted the table on the Kang and hit Oldman Zhang’s head directly.

Oldman Zhang’s head spurted blood fiercely. He turned his head and looked at his second son in disbelief. He opened his mouth, and bang, Zhang Erchun brandished the table towards him again. His skull was broken, and his eyes bulged, looking at his beloved son, did not understand why he died in his hands.

“Youcai, calm down.”

Lin Youde noticed the situation of the Zhang family. He understood that this might be the diversionary tactic that the female ghost gave them to kill each other.

He held his little brother’s hands tightly. Lin Youcai was thin and small, not his opponent at all. At the moment, he firmly controlled him and could not move.

“Hu—” There was a cold air on his back. Lin Youde turned his head suddenly, and there was a flash of red and white shadow between them. He fought a shiver, and his hand strength had reduced. Lin Youcai broke away.

“Kill the female ghost, kill the female ghost.”

Lin Youcai was possessed, he waved the peach wood branch on his hand crazily. Lin Youde unprepared for a while, and the sharp branch cut a deep cut in his hand.

The bright red color stimulated Zhang Dachun and Zhang Erchun on the side. They also did not focus on the two corpses in front of them and rushed towards him with peach branches.

Lin Youde did not act against evil to prevent harm to his innocent little brother, but not at Zhang Dachun and Zhang Erchun. At this time, his eyes were already red, and his mind had extinguished by excessive panic.

He raised the big ax that he had been holding all the time. When Zhang Dachun waved the peach wood branch towards him, he cut down, and then Zhang Dachun’s arm fell directly to the ground.

With a scream, he finally got back to his senses, looked at the bodies of his father and younger brother, and Lin Youde, who was slashing at him with an ax. He crawled towards the door in horror.

“Homicide, a homicide!” The door was locked. Zhang Dachun could not open the door. He clasped the door handle and wanted to call people nearby to stop Lin Youde’s evil deeds.

At this time, the people in the house did not know that most of the villagers had gathered outside. Shortly after the scream in the house started, they arrived in twos and threes.

The strange thing was the doors and windows could not be smashed or knocked open.

They listened to the screams of the younger brother Lin and Old Zhang’s family from time to time. They did not know what was going on inside and anxious.

“What happened? I know that I’m here to bring new products. I’m here to meet you.”

In the dark, Lai San appeared in raincoats and flashlights. He took his five horses and tied a few young girls behind him and smiled at them.

He did not want to go up the mountain in the heavy rain, but who asked Lin Youde to call him and said that five families in his village wanted to buy a daughter-in-law this time, so he could round up the abducted girls this time, so even if it was risky, he still came here.

It was unsafe to let go of five girls. Instead of staying at the foot of the mountain looking for buyers, he might as well go straight up.

At this time, the scream in the room had stopped. Lai San looked at the villagers surrounding Lin Youde’s house, who looked strange. He also wondered whether the new goods he brought were not satisfying, and they rejected them?

As a matter of fact, they were quite pretty, they were not bad.

Just when he wanted to ask, creak, the initially closed door opened on its own. The room was full of blood and meat. On the ground and around the wall, a blood smell came.

“Ugh—”

The ones who had weak resistance vomited directly. Everyone looked at Lin Youde, who was standing in the middle of the room with an ax in his hand and was frightened, ready to step back several steps.
