After seeing that the person blocking my path was just a fool, I immediately felt discouraged. I didn't intend to pester him, so I turned around to the side. But, I didn't expect that guy to actually come over and block my path again.

As the saying goes, Buddha has three sets of nameless hellfire. Even if I were a clay man, I would still have a temper. I glared at this fool and lightly pushed him, then turned around and walked out of the room.

But at that moment, a hand grabbed my arm.

I turned my head around and immediately cursed in my heart. Why am I so unlucky today?

"Master Ma?" To my surprise, before I could even open my mouth, the fool asked first. I was stunned as I saw that although he had a dirty face and saliva was dripping down his face, his eyes were clear and clear. He had a faint smile on his face.

"Who are you? What's the matter?" My heart thumped as I asked doubtfully.

However, before he could even open his mouth, a person came over and impatiently yelled, "Get out! This is not the place you're from!" The person yelled as he stuck a coin into the fool's chest. He took a closer look and saw that it was a ten dollar bill.

I turned to the side to look. So the person who came was none other than Director Wang. He said to me with a guilty face, "There are a lot of these kinds of people in the countryside. There's nothing we can do about it."

He … "I turned my head and pointed at the fool who was pushed outside. Just as I was about to say something, Director Wang continued," This fool is quite pitiful too.

"Is he really a fool?" I was taken aback.

"Yeah, after father died, mother ran away, and now we are living together with his grandmother." Director Wang sighed, and said with regret.

I looked at Director Wang in a daze, and seeing that his expression didn't seem to be faking it, I believed him more than half. But, the fool who spoke to me just now didn't seem like he was lying no matter how I looked at him. And even if he was a fool, how could he have known me for no reason at all?

I shook my head and tossed this thought out of my mind. Then, I followed him out of the mourning hall and sat inside the large tent.

At this moment, the fool was still outside. His mouth was crooked as he was pushed around by the guests. He had a silly smile on his face and saliva was dripping down his chest. The previous scene had completely disappeared, as if he was a completely different person.

"I feel wronged! Haha, I feel wronged!" Right at this moment, the fool suddenly raised his head up to the sky and shouted loudly. At the same time, he started making a ruckus with the other guests, occasionally glancing at me from the side.

At the beginning, I didn't pay much attention to him as I thought he was just spouting nonsense. However, later on, this fool unknowingly ran in front of me and sat on the ground in front of me, shouting non-stop.

At this point I became suspicious, so I lowered my head and whispered to the fool, "Are you wronged? Where is your injustice? "

"I was killed by someone, I can't rest in peace!" The fool didn't shout this time, and instead said the same words to me in a low voice. At the same time, the expression on his face also changed, becoming violent, manic, like a ferocious beast that was about to devour someone.

Looking at his expression, I couldn't help but shiver. The more I thought about it, the more familiar it felt. This expression, how come it was the same as the one I saw at the old lady's corpse?

"Who are you?" I forcefully suppressed the fear in my heart. I thought to myself that with so many people here, he wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble. Thus, I asked in a low voice.

"I am Superman, I want to fight monsters." Just as I asked, the fool suddenly grinned. Saliva dripped from his mouth as he shouted and jumped to the side.

I shook my head, but kept thinking about that weird smile of his. I kept feeling that something was wrong.

"Master Ma, this place is cold, why don't you find a different place to rest?" Suddenly, Director Wang's voice sounded. I turned to look and saw him standing beside me with a calm expression, staring fixedly at the back of the fool who was bounding away.

"It's alright, it's pretty good here, I'll take a seat." Looking at Director Wang's expression, I was stunned for a moment, but I forced myself to reply calmly.

"Okay, then you can sit first", after Director Wang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Even though everything looked calm, a thousand feet of turmoil surged through my heart. The words of a fool saying 'I was caused by someone else' still lingered in my mind, and it didn't go away.

It was getting late in the night. Other than the filial children that Director Wang had spent money to invite, the rest of the guests had all gone back to their own homes. The mourning hall was suddenly empty.

I looked at the time. It was eleven-thirty, and according to our custom, "Mr. Taoist" would only sing until twelve at the most, and after that, these filial children would stop working.

Director Wang was sitting at the door smoking, staring at the pitch-black night sky, looking extremely worried.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, causing my ears to go numb. Unknowingly, a light drizzle had already started to fall outside. The rolling thick clouds quickly covered the moon, making it impossible to see my fingers outside. The lights in the mourning hall also became dimmer.

I shook my head, feeling the cold wind blowing all around me, making my skin crawl and making my skin crawl. I shrunk my neck and went back to the mourning hall, hoping that the Taoist would hurry up and finish his work. On the other hand, I also hoped that the Taoist would stay with the filial children who had spent so much money on him for a while, because there would be a lot of people who would not mess around.

While I was feeling extremely conflicted, the Daoist Priest gave a clang and his work gong. He then coughed twice before standing up.

Seeing him like this, my heart jumped. I got up and watched as he took off his gaudy robe, placed all of his tools on the spiritual altar, and bid farewell to Director Wang. Then, he took his flashlight and left the house.

At the same time, the 'filial son and grandson' who were originally surrounding the collapsed spirits also exploded with a loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, only Director Wang and I were left alive in the mourning hall.

I turned my head to the side to look at Director Wang, only to see that he returned after exchanging a few words with the people who invited him. Although he didn't have much of an expression on his face, his expression was extremely unsightly, and upon seeing that I was looking at him, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Ma, go upstairs and rest first. I'll watch over here, I'll call for you if there's anything else."

I kept on waving my hands to say that there was no need for it. Firstly, it was upstairs where the corpse of the old lady had been, and I was really afraid of staying by myself. Secondly, I didn't know when the old lady's ghost would cause trouble, and I could only try my best to guard against it.

When the Director Wang saw me reject, he didn't try to push it too hard and only nodded his head lightly. Then, I pulled out a bench and lay on it each and every one of them. After all, it was a long night.

From the hubbub to the silence, the contrast was too obvious. My stuffy head gradually relaxed and I started to feel sleepy. Not long after lying on the bed, I started to doze off.

As for Director Wang, he didn't make a sound from start to finish. I turned my head to look at his back and saw that he hadn't moved since he laid on the bed. It was as if he had really fallen asleep.

I sighed lightly, thinking that it would be hard for the government to stop the family business. If I could really keep him safe from his mother's funeral, it didn't matter whether he knew or not.

"Creak!" A sharp sound suddenly sounded. It was as though a chair was being dragged. I immediately woke up. I instinctively opened my eyes only to see that my surroundings were pitch-black without any light at all.

I was so scared that I lost all sleep. I sat up and shouted twice for Boss Wang, but there was no reply.

"Could it be that there was a power cut?" Although I was a little scared, I forced myself to calm down. The first thing I thought of was this, so I took out my phone to light up the screen to look around me. Seeing that I was still lying in the mourning hall, I heaved a sigh of relief.

A empty bench was placed there, it still looked the same as before. I thought for a moment, then consoled myself with the thought that maybe the Director Wang had something to attend to and had gone out.

After that, I stood up, groping around. Initially, I wanted to find the light switch, but upon realizing that there was a corpse inside the mourning hall, I couldn't help but shiver and walk outside without hesitation.

However, I only took a few steps before colliding with something with a "pu" sound. It was ice-cold and hard.

I rubbed my forehead and cursed, then lifted my cell phone and shone it at the object.
