Chapter 2 - Wonders of the Village

"Hey hey, young man, wake up, young man?"

Feeling someone slapping my face, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie. I was stunned and blurted out, "Where is this?" I'm dead? "

"What's dead? How can you say something like that at such a young age? " The middle-aged man looked at me and smiled. "Hurry and get up. Are you sleeping on the ground?"

On the ground? I pushed myself up and looked around. There were plants all around me, and there was a lake not far away. I was sitting on an open field with three or five people by my side. None of them said anything.

"You are?"

I'm not dead, this is my first thought, where did the weasel and the female ghost go? Could it be that his conscience had found a way to spare me?

"Oh? You're actually asking about us?" The middle-aged man laughed and said, "My surname is Li. Young man, why are you sleeping here? You're not a local, are you? "

"Local? "Where is this place?" I didn't answer. My head was still in a daze.

"This is the back mountain of Qingyan Village." The middle-aged man surnamed Li looked at me strangely. "You didn't even know where you slept at the back of the mountain?"

"The back mountain of Qingyan Village?" Why did they come here? I was stunned for three seconds and immediately panicked. Then, I looked down and realized that all the Clothes were dressed properly. I didn't lose myself! He heaved a sigh of relief.

I didn't tell him what happened, otherwise, I would be treated as a lunatic. Right now, I just want to go to Qingyan Village and take a look, and finish what the mysterious man had told me.

After thanking them and finding out how to get to the Qingyan Village, I left. Before I left, I found that they were collecting water, as if they were investigating water sources.

Not long after, I saw a small village. From the looks of it, it was the Qingyan Village and I didn't know if the house I was looking for was still there.

The letter that the mysterious man sent me told me to go to the old house of the Qingyan Village's Bei Family. He told me to fetch something, but he didn't tell me what it was and what I wanted to do with it.

All these years, I had been thinking of contacting this mysterious man, but the letters I sent over didn't even have a name, let alone an address. No matter where I was, the mysterious letter would always accurately reach me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver. It was more important to finish what I needed to do as soon as possible. I didn't know what would happen if I stayed in this crappy place for even a second longer.

After a few steps, just as I was about to ask someone where the old Bei house was, I heard a burst of crying coming from the house on the left, which attracted my attention.

When the cat looked at the entrance, he found that there were a lot of people in the yard. A middle-aged woman in her forties was crying and some people beside her were trying to persuade her.

Beside the woman was a bed made of two benches and a plank, and on it lay a man.

"Is this a dead man?" My curiosity was piqued and I couldn't help but walk in. "What's the matter?"

Naturally, no one answered me. Everyone seemed to be immersed in grief.

When I got close to the person lying on the bench, the person who was already dead suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me. That gaze was as though he was looking at an enemy, causing me to feel terrified.

"Holy shit, he's still alive." The moment I shouted, the surrounding people all looked over. It was as though they had discovered a new continent.

"Er Gou is alive, he's not dead yet." An old man shouted excitedly.

"My son." The middle-aged woman, who was crying nonstop, hurriedly rushed forward and hugged her son as she cried out.

"Save me …" "Save …" The young man called Er Gou did not look at his mother. Instead, he stared at me with a pleading look in his eyes: "Save me, save me."

"Save you? What do I do? " I don't know why I rushed over, pulled the woman away, and squatted down.

The others were stunned and couldn't stop me in time.

Er Gou panted emotionally, "And now … At the back of the mountain, there was only one day … "Save me …" After saying that, Er Gou seemed to have lost all signs of life, and also seemed to have passed away.

At the back of the mountain? Isn't this the place I just came to? Just as I was wondering, Er Gou immediately pulled my hand and kneeled down, scaring me to the point that I hurriedly pulled her up.

"Young lad, please save my Er Gou. I beg you, please save my Er Gou."

"Hey, hey, Auntie, don't be in such a hurry." I hastily replied, "If I can help, I'll definitely help. Don't be in such a rush. I'm still at a loss."

At this moment, someone finally came.

"The Goddess Li is here, quickly move. The Goddess Li is here." A young man's shout came from outside the door. Everyone seemed to have found their backbone, and they hurriedly turned their heads to make way for him.

He saw a young woman, who looked as strong as a calf, run in with an old woman on her back. Some observant people beside her hurriedly brought over a chair.

"Grandma Li saved Er Gou. He didn't die, he just woke up." Er Gou's mother turned around and went to beg the old granny.

Grandma Li comforted Er Gou's mother, then she turned and looked at Er Gou who was sitting on the bench. Er Gou squinted his eyes, causing me to become interested, could it be that the Goddess Li they were talking about was some kind of genius doctor?

Goddess Li looked at Er Gou's eyes, and then touched Er Gou's body and suddenly slapped on Er Gou's chest, causing Er Gou to cough.

Good fellow, so powerful?

Just when we all thought that Er Gou was about to wake up, that Er Gou spat out something from his mouth and then died.

Goddess Li opened the slip of paper with a strict expression. Inside was a ball of yellow hair.

"A stream that pours its way towards the mountain ghost. It will never be at peace for all eternity."

Goddess Li's face changed drastically, she anxiously pinched her fingers, and after a short while she frowned: "Oh no, last night was the wedding day for mountain ghost, didn't I tell you not to leave your homes? "Also, call all the outsiders from the village over. If we delay it any further, the entire village will become restless!"

When those words were spoken, everyone's gazes immediately shot towards me, scaring me into retreating in a hurry. "You guys …"

Goddess Li turned her head and looked at me with a thoughtful expression. She then asked, "Young lad, you don't seem to be from the village."

"Ugh …" I nodded my head helplessly.

Goddess Li looked at me and said, "You should be the groom that mountain ghost got married to last night, right?"

Goddess Li shook her hand, and the ball of yellow hair wrapped in paper immediately started to burn. Seeing this magical technique, I was startled and asked tentatively, "Are you going to burn me to death?"
