Once Xi Zheng and his wife found out that they couldn't contact their sister, they were scared out of their wits, was something really going to happen to Xi Meiqing tonight, if that was the case then they had to do something about it!
" I will go and bring the car," said Assistant Xi as he turned around to rush out of the house but no second did he turn around, Madam Xi's phone rang and she stopped her son at once.
" Wait, it's Meiqing! She is calling me," Eldest Madam Xi hurriedly answered the phone and put it on the speaker before asking, " Meiqing where are you? We were so worried since we couldn't contact you!"
" I am fine sister in law, we are travelling to another city which is why you couldn't call me just now," answered Xi Meiqing. " My mother-in-law's condition has deteriorated even further and now we need to go to the hospital in another town."
As she spoke there was a loud thud causing Assistant Xi and his parents to jump in fright Assistant Xi asked with a frown, " Aunt what sound was that?"
" Oh it's nothing," came the answer from the other side where an ugly ghost was chopping the thigh of Aunt Meiqing whose eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head and begged to be let off.
Her husband had been killed and ripped to pieces already and she was the second one who was being chopped up after the death of her husband. Xi Meiqing did not know where she went wrong but she knew it was because of her daughter looking this ghost in the eye.
When Xi Meiqing's husband received a call that said that her mother-in-law had fallen from the stairs she did not think much and immediately rushed to go and help her mother-in-law. But who would have thought that it was all a trap set by this ghost? The second her husband drove past the countryside, they were caught by this ghost who first killed her husband and then came after her.
What was even worse —— was that her daughter was inside the car watching all of this happening!
The ugly ghost licked Xi Meiqing's tears which were trickling down her cheeks and then snickered softly before continuing to speak in Xi Meiqing's voice, " The path on which I and my husband are driving past is full of potholes, which is why there is a lot of noise." As she spoke she raised the knife in her hands and then brought it down on Xi Meiqing's thighs cutting it in half.
Xi Meiqing screamed in pain but her scream was muffled by the ghost wall and only the ugly ghost could hear the painful scream which was like a beautiful siren's song in her ear.
The ugly ghost smiled eerily as she looked at Xi Meiqing who was writhing in pain and then said to Assistant Xi, " I will call you later, I need to take care of my mother-in-law."
And before Assistant Xi could say anything, she cancelled the call and then raised her hand to take out the bind that she had used to tie Xi Meiqing's mouth.
" Please let me go…please..please.. I beg you... I will not tell anything to my family but …please let me and my daughter go…" Xi Meiqing begged in fright, she knew that this ugly ghost was Lady Yan as she had noticed the pendant on her neck, this pendant was something that the female ghost was wearing at the time when she came to the banquet held by their family.
Lady Yan sniggered at Xi Meiqing's words before raising the hand that was holding the knife and then said, " I really dislike it when humans like you beg for your life! Did you dare to look down on me? You dare to turn your face away from me? How dare you how dare you!?"
She shrieked as she chopped Xi Meiqing's neck causing the poor woman to scream in terror and pain as the ground of the forest was dyed red. Soon Xi Meiqing's screams turned fainter and fainter before her eyes rolled back in her skull which dropped on the floor with a thud.
" Hehehe, hehehe! Humans who look down on me deserve to die! I am the infamous Lady Yan! The beauty Lady Yan! Hehehe," snickered the ghost as she walked towards the car and then planted her hand on the handle of the car before pulling it open.
Inside sat a small child whose entire body was trembling with fear, she hugged the bear in her arms as she looked at the ugly ghost and cried, " D…Don't hurt me…"
" Hehe, tender meat…juicy meat….I was getting tired of eating the flesh of humans who are old…their meat is not at all nice when we take a bite from it," Lady Yan licked her lips as she stretched out her hand and then pulled the little girl out of the car and dragged her down on the ground.
" NO! NO! MOMMY! DADDY! SAVE ME! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" The little girl screamed at the top of her lungs but nothing happened, her mother and father were long gone and their corpses were lying on the ground without an ounce of warmth within them.
Lady Yan did not even look at the flailing girl as she picked up the knife with which she butchered Xi Meiqing and her husband before bringing it down and then killing the young girl in one swift move. The little girl was weak to begin with and thus, her little neck couldn't withstand the blow before she died with an unjust expression on her face.
She hated this ghost and she hated her uncle even more for marrying this ugly ghost. If he did not marry her then her family wouldn't have to die!
Xi Sang who was unaware of what was happening, had no idea that his life was going to fall into a dark abyss very soon.
