Chapter 5
On the night when Ma Lao's third daughter-in-law was buried, the body had actually been broken out of the coffin, because Ma Lao's third daughter-in-law had come to my house at midnight.
At that time, Jiushan Village was very poor and there was no electricity in the village. Basically every household lit candles and kerosene lamps.
Even so, people in the village were reluctant to eat, so they basically went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, my parents were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a "bang bang" knocking sound coming from the bedroom window. It was very rhythmic, three long and one short.
My parents had been busy with farm work all day and were very tired. When they first heard the sound, they thought it was the wind blowing or a bat hitting the window, so they didn't take it to heart.
But after a while, the knocking sound was still there, and became more and more rapid, still three long and one short.
My dad got up in a daze and opened the window to see what was knocking on the window.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the window was opened, first a rotten smell rushed towards the face, and then a big swollen face covered with corpse spots was seen, which was the dead third wife of Ma Lao.
The corners of Ma Laosan's wife's mouth still had the weird smile she had when she died.
As soon as he saw this big face, my dad suddenly woke up, let out a scream of terror, and fell to the ground.
The screams woke up my sleeping mother and me.
I will never forget the terrifying face of Ma Laosan's wife, which gave me many nightmares in my sleep.
After my mother saw Ma Laosan's wife, she was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound. She just hugged me tightly, trembling all over.
At this time, Ma Laosan's wife suddenly spoke. She first let out a burst of breathtaking laughter and looked directly at me: "There are still four days, there are four days..."
My father's screams woke up my grandfather who was sleeping in the east wing. He rushed in with a sharp knife, glanced at his father and mother who were slumped on the ground and trembling, and then followed their gazes.
He looked toward the window, and the sight made him tremble with fear.
After all, the old man was a veteran who had served in the army and killed Japanese Japs. Although he was panicking, he was much calmer than the two of them.
"My third daughter-in-law, I know you have resentment in your heart. This is fate. No one else is to blame. Old man, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise the big knife in my hand will be rude to you. Japan will die under this knife.
I don’t know how many Japs there are, how can you be more vicious than that little Japs? I don’t care if there is one more of you.” As he said that, Grandpa shook the bright big blade in his hand.
This broadsword was left behind by my grandfather when he was a soldier. It was just a thought. When he had nothing to do, he took it out and wiped it. It was so bright that it could make people's shadows shine through.
I don’t know if it was because grandpa showed the big knife that Ma Laosan’s wife turned around and limped away. As she walked, she let out a burst of laughter and said the words just now.
Words: "Four days left, four days left..."
After Ma Lao's third daughter-in-law left, the whole family was so frightened that they did not dare to sleep.
The whole family is thinking, what does Ma Laosan's third daughter-in-law mean when she says there are still four days?
Early the next morning, an old sheepherder in the village discovered that the new grave of Ma Laosan's wife had been dug. However, when Ma Laosan took people to see it in person, everyone took a closer look and found that the grave did not seem to have been dug.
It was dug up, because the soil was turned outwards, and the coffin boards were scattered around and were all broken. It looked like the third daughter-in-law crawled out of the grave by herself.
Just thinking about this kind of picture makes people shudder.
In the middle of the night, the grave of Ma Lao San's daughter-in-law suddenly opened. Ma Lao San's daughter-in-law, who had been dead for three days, crawled out of the grave, then wandered towards Lao Wu's house, and knocked on other people's windows.
However, Ma Laosan didn't know that his wife went to my house in the middle of the night. Grandpa and father didn't make it public. The relationship with Ma Laosan's family was already very tense, and now our family doesn't want to cause trouble.
Ma Laosan only thought that his wife's body had been stolen. There were many body thieves in those days, especially young female corpses were the most popular. The specific reason was that they had many uses, and the most common ones were for incest. www.bǐqυgetν

Although Ma Laosan's wife is not very good-looking, she is very young, less than thirty years old, so she is very popular.
It would have been nice if the body had been stolen, but unfortunately it wasn't, because the next night, he came to my house again.
Last night, Ma Laosan’s wife came to my house and knocked on the window, which scared my mother so much that she didn’t dare to sleep. My dad also reassured my mother that she didn’t have to be afraid, saying that Lao San’s wife’s body had been stolen.
My mother was so frightened that she asked my grandfather to sleep in the main room. If she heard any noise, she would ask my grandfather to come over with a knife.
After a day of farm work during the day, my parents went to bed early even though they were scared.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, while the two of them were sleeping soundly, they were woken up by a knock on the window.
Hearing this movement, my dad immediately became energetic and sat up from the bed. Through the bright moonlight outside the window, he saw a dark figure standing outside, tapping rhythmically on the window.
My mother was so frightened that she shivered in the quilt while hugging me.
"Dad... here we go again..." My dad held a stick in his hand and didn't even dare to get off the bed. He just guarded his wife and children behind him.
Grandpa, who had killed a kid before, rushed in immediately when he heard the noise, still holding the sharp machete in his hand.
When I saw the figure standing outside the window, my big swollen face was clearly visible.
"Third daughter-in-law, you're really done with it, aren't you? Old man, I've already lived a long life at my age. If you can, kill me. When I turn into a ghost, you won't be able to survive either."
As he spoke, Grandpa stabbed open the window with the big knife in his hand.
Ma Laosan's wife was standing outside the window, with a strange smile on her lips and a pair of pale eyes. She said in a very sharp voice: "There are still three days... there are still three days... hehehe..."
Even though grandpa was brave, he couldn't help but take a breath when he saw the terrifying appearance of Ma Laosan's wife.
Fortunately, after Ma Laosan's wife finished saying these words, she walked towards the door on tiptoe with her foot, which was only a white bone, and disappeared within a moment.
