Mrs. Pan has been neighbors with Shi Erleng's family for five or six years.
On weekdays, the relationship is okay.
If anything happens to the two families, they will help each other.
At noon that day, Shi Erlang suddenly came to knock on the door with two monkeys. Mrs. Pan asked him, "What's the matter?"
Shi Erleng said that he had learned a few new Monkey Handle poses and wanted to show them how good they were.
People who perform monkey tricks always have to think of some new tricks. Only in this way can they attract customers and make money.
Although Mrs. Pan really wanted to see what Shi Erleng's new Monkey Handle Style was like.
But she happened to be going out today.
One of my sisters suffered from back pain, and I had to rush over to help and take care of her.
So Mrs. Pan said to Shi Erleng: "My wife Li Laifu is at home today. You can let him take a look first. I have something to do when I go out, so I will come and appreciate it another day."
After hearing this, Shi Erleng fell silent.
Mrs. Pan felt very strange about this.
If it was Shi Erleng from before, he should have said politely, "It's okay, sister-in-law, you can go and do your work first."
A person who plays tricks in the streets will not be too dull.
Very strange.
But Granny Pan didn't take it to heart and said casually, "I'm sorry, something really happened... I'll see you play another time."
Then he arranged for his wife to come out to greet him and then went out.
This time, I didn't go home until dark.
But what she didn't expect was that when she returned home, she found that her husband was not there.
The pots were cleared and the stove was cold, and no meals were prepared.
This made Mrs. Pan very angry.
"What has this old guy been doing all day?"
I had no choice but to go get some food myself.
After filling my stomach, I felt sleepy.
He lay on the bed and fell asleep.
However, Mrs. Pan had a strange dream while she was asleep.
She dreamed that her husband Li Laifu came in through the door, walked to the bed, and pressed on her from top to bottom.
It made her breathless.
She tried to struggle but it was useless. After about a quarter of an hour, her husband fell off the bed and disappeared.
Then I heard my husband shouting for help from under the bed board.
The sound is miserable!
Tormented by this dream for a long time, Mrs. Pan broke out in a cold sweat.
I can't sleep anymore.
So he sat up from the bed.
I looked out the window and saw that it was already getting very late. It was probably the third or fourth watch.
But her husband hasn't come home yet.
"Where has this old guy gone?"
I originally thought that my husband might have gone to his neighbor Shi Erleng's place and was fascinated by the monkey-handle style, so he forgot to go home.
But it can’t be so late, right?
Suddenly thinking of the weird dream she had just had, Mrs. Pan was a little frightened.
I couldn't help but think about it.
Mrs. Pan said to herself, "Why do you dream about the old guy calling for help under the bed?... Is there something dirty under the bed?... Why don't you open the bed board and take a look."
Maybe it's boredom.
Somehow, she thought it would be okay to open it and take a look.
So Mrs. Pan quickly got up and took off the bed boards piece by piece.
But when she got the last piece, she almost fainted from fright.
Under the bed board, there was a skinless corpse!
His body was covered in blood and flesh, and he couldn’t tell whether he was a man or a woman, or what his identity was!
Mrs. Pan shouted in a hoarse voice, "Oh my God!"
He rolled and crawled and ran away from the door.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed out of the door.
Mrs. Pan bumped into the man.
The other party didn't move at all, but she herself was hit and staggered.
Look up.
It was none other than her husband Li Laifu!
Seeing that her husband was back, I felt a lot more at ease.
He quickly rushed over and said, "Old man! Go and take a look! There is a skinless dead man sealed under the bed!..."
Mrs. Pan was very flustered and uncomfortable.
Her husband beside her became her only reassurance.
However, she soon discovered that her husband was surprisingly calm.
Anyone who hears that there is a corpse under the bed where they sleep will be panicked.
Why is Li Laifu acting so abnormally today?
In confusion, Mrs. Pan raised her head and looked at her husband carefully.
But she happened to see her own man staring at her secretly with a ferocious expression!
"Old man!...You!...What's wrong with you?"
As soon as the voice of questioning finished, Mrs. Pan instantly felt herself being thrown into the house by a strange force.
She threw herself to the ground.
The door was immediately closed.
At this time, Li Laifu stood in the shadow in front of the closed door, like a ghost.
On his shoulder, there was an extra monkey at some point.
Mrs. Pan, who fell to the ground, was horrified.
"Old man? What are you going to do?!"
She really can't imagine that her wife has been with her for so many years! Why did it become so scary and ferocious today?
But Mrs. Pan was destined to have no choice in this life, and she knew the real reason.
Because just when she just finished speaking, her wife Li Laifu actually used a teleportation technique and turned into an afterimage, standing in front of her.
The next moment, in Mrs. Pan's frightened eyes, a green palm pressed against her Tianling Cap.
She then lost consciousness.
It didn't take long.
A piece of human skin hangs on Li Laifu's hand.
The monkey on his shoulder immediately jumped into the human skin and got inside.
The green light jumped and the demonic energy expanded.
The monkey stood up straight in human skin.
"Mother Pan" stood up again and looked at Li Laifu and smiled.
The poor real Mrs. Pan has been turned into a skinless corpse, and together with her husband Li Laifu, they were sealed under the bed board again.
The fake Mrs. Pan and Li Laifu took advantage of the darkness to walk out of the house, locked the door, and walked into Shi Erleng's home.
…
Four days later.
Sucheng Yamen received another report from Tongyi Town.
It is said that several families behaved very strangely. They did not do any work every day. They would always go to Shi Erleng's house in the morning, and then go to Wutong Ridge together, staying there all day.
No one else knows what they are doing.
In addition, there is always a strange stench coming from these people's houses, which disturbs other people in Tongyi Town.
Everyone felt that the matter was very strange, so they reported the matter to the Yamen.
Upon hearing that it was another report from Tongyi Town, everyone in the yamen felt helpless.
A few days ago, it was reported that someone was missing. As a result, many government officials were mobilized to search. The search lasted a whole day but no one was found. In the end, the missing person was staying at home!
Isn't this just fun?
Are you busy working as a government official?
Therefore, Cui Feng and other government officials who came back from Tongyi Town last time were very unhappy and complained to the people in the government office.
I feel that the person who reported the crime in Tongyizhen is suspected of deliberately playing tricks on the official.
Therefore, the police officers in the yamen were a little unhappy when the Tongyi Town police report happened again just a few days later.
Is there anything strange about others going to the woods to play together?
As for the stench in the house, it might be coming from dead animals or something. Can't we just organize people to find the source?
Do you still need to trouble the Yamen cadre? …
no way.
Since people have reported the case, they have to take care of it.
The yamen had no choice but to send two yamen officers, Tian Dongchen and Guo Hongfeng, to go have a look.
