Grandma sighed, 'Alright, it's all my fault. Back then, when the third brother fell into the water, I couldn't save him. He harbored resentment in his heart, which merged with the demon. That demon gained the power of the Lei family, and I've been unable to deal with it. If it weren't for its desire for Xiaxia's soul power that made the third brother's spirit enter her body to control her, we would never have been able to separate him from it.'
'Mom, it was my fault that my brother fell into the water; I didn't hold him properly. Don't blame yourself. Now that the demon is completely sealed, can we go out?' Uncle Lei asked. Over the years, he had been cooped up in this mountain valley, and it had really frustrated him.
'Hmm… pull the third brother out of Xiaxia's body.'
Juzi asked after hearing this, 'It didn't hurt you guys, so why did you move away?'
'The Lei family left and never came back! But with the demon here, with no one to control it, you can often hear the house echoing with ghostly wails and howls, which frightens the locals. Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't want to live near such a ticking time bomb.' As the old lady said this, she suddenly thought of something and laughed awkwardly, 'Look at me, telling scary stories just to frighten you while you came here to play.'
Chengzi laughed, 'It's fine! We're brave, you go on and do your work!' Then he took another puff of his cigarette…
Nan Yisheng watched Chengzi's serious expression and asked, 'Is something wrong?'
'Nothing, it's just that the Lei family I remember wasn't so irresponsible,' Chengzi said, looking through the window at the elderly woman busy in the courtyard.
Juzi nudged him, 'How do you know everyone?'
Chengzi smiled, 'Living long, you'll meet a lot of people…'
