C10 (1/2)

As soon as I turned, I heard the window behind me creak as if someone had opened it.

My hair stood on end, and I almost couldn't help but look back.

But I thought of the Grand Matriarch's words and held back, and then I felt a faint wheeze behind my back.

The breath was very close to me, and there was a tingling in my neck, and my scalp felt like it was going to explode.

I wanted to look back, but I didn't dare.

At this moment, I heard a woman's gentle voice say, ”Look back, am I good-looking?”

The woman's voice was like goose feathers, making my heart itch. With a buzz in my head, I felt my entire body heat up, and then my consciousness starts to blur.

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly heard a rooster crowing. I felt as if I had been struck in the face with a stick, and was instantly awake.

”Good!” The breathing behind me disappeared.

I kept walking, but after just two steps my feet were tangled in grass and I couldn't move a single step.

I knew it must be the ghost woman behind me, so I pinched the rooster to make it scream again.

But the rooster seemed to be dead. No matter how hard I tried, he didn't make a sound.

The feeling of the breath coming from the back of my neck made me feel sick to my stomach.

At this moment, an old woman's voice was heard: Little Waves, where do you want to run off to!

The next moment, I heard a woman screaming in pain.

I shivered with fear and felt the scream enter the room. Then I realized that the fetter was gone from under my feet.

I was so scared that I ran out the door, and when I got home, I found myself drenched in cold sweat.

She was waiting for me when I entered the room. When I saw her, she asked me, ”Give me the rooster!”

I handed her the rooster. When the grandma received it, she cried out in alarm. She threw her hands on the ground, and the rooster fell to the ground, flapping its wings.

Where is the rooster's head?

Only then did I notice that although the chicken was constantly jumping, its neck was empty and it had no head.

I took a deep breath and said I didn't know. The rooster was still in my arms.

The Grand Matriarch asked me gloomily: Did something happen at the haunted house?

I told her everything that had happened in the house.

After the Grand Matriarch finished listening, her expression became extremely unsightly.

I asked her what was wrong, and she told me: This is going to be a big trouble!

My heart sank as soon as I heard, and I cried out in alarm: Nanny, don't frighten me.

She told me that the old one must be the mother-in-law of her new daughter-in-law. Since her ghost was also here, it meant that her death was definitely unjust. Their family matters might not be as simple as it was said to be.

I'll talk it over with her, or forget about the affair.

But the Grand Matron told me no, that the betrothal gift had already been given, and that the other party had accepted it. It would be worse if I didn't go. Right now, the most worrying thing was whether the bride was her mother-in-law or the bride.

If that mother-in-law had taken my betrothal gift, it would have been even more troublesome.

I asked her what would happen if my mother-in-law accepted the betrothal gift.

The Grand Matriarch said, whoever accepts the betrothal gift, will form a relationship with me. Old ghosts are hard to deal with, and if the one who has a relationship with me is that old woman, then it would be even harder to fight her than Zhao Quan'er.

When I heard this, all the hairs on my body stood on end. I asked her what would happen to her and whether I would die.

The Grand Matriarch gave me a furtive look and said, If that's the case, then prepare yourself to die at the hands of Zhao Quan'er.

I shivered and began to tremble uncontrollably.

At last she told me that there was no room for redemption, and that it would be better to rest now and prepare for tomorrow night's events.

But that night I didn't sleep at all.
