So I asked my cousin, "Brother, what did you see just now?"
He replied, "I saw my dad sitting in the coffin."
My aunt gasped, "You saw your dad? Where is he?"
He said, "He was sitting in the coffin. When the coffin lid cracked open just now, he sat up and stared at me."
The old man nodded, "Fortunately, you didn't open the coffin lid earlier; otherwise, it would have been dangerous."
My aunt looked puzzled, "Master, you mentioned that we have the Resentful Bell. What should we do now?"
The old man said, "You just need to give me the bell. Once I take it away, your problems will be resolved."
"Your Second Uncle hasn't dispelled the evil yet; your lives are still safe."
"But that old lady is different; her resentment is too difficult to dissipate. We can only find a way to suppress it."
"You need to prepare some cherished belongings of the deceased; I will use them as a medium for suppression."
The old man explained that the root of all problems lay with that old lady's ghost.
She borrowed rice Borrowing Lifespan, and this borrowing lasted for two lifetimes.
If it were a human Borrowing Lifespan, it wouldn't affect future generations; at most, it would shorten a few years of lifespan.
But once it's a ghost Borrowing Lifespan, things become troublesome.
Because a ghost Borrowing Lifespan doesn't need to be repaid.
Borrowing Lifespan only requires Seven Grains of Rice.
It doesn't need to gather anyone's lifespan.
And it certainly doesn't require seven days of returning to life.
If there aren't enough seven days for returning to life, the consequences are even more severe.
Hearing the old man's words, my aunt hesitated.
She looked at the bell in her hand, unsure of what to do.
Mother snatched my bell and crushed it underfoot.
"I don't care whether you're human or ghost; you won't trick us out of our belongings!"
Aunt was startled by Mother's actions.
"Master, what... what should we do?"
The Old Man waved his hand dismissively. "It doesn't matter; it's broken now."
"You just need to follow my instructions."
"I will cooperate with Mother's actions next, but you must not accept anything she offers you."
The Old Man gave further instructions and then said, "I need to prepare some things; I will come back to protect you tonight."
With that, he turned and left.
Aunt hurried after him. "Master, can we still eat the rice we've cooked?"
Without hesitation, the Old Man followed Aunt to the kitchen.
He took out several wooden sticks from his bag and muttered incantations, striking the sticks in the air.
"Get the fire going!" the Old Man instructed the younger aunt.
She did not dare delay and quickly lit the fire.
Before long, the rice in the pot began to thicken.
The Old Man explained, "A little ghost was squatting on the pot; humans eat cooked rice, while ghosts eat raw."
"I've already driven it away, so you can cook your rice in peace now."
Aunt was secretly amazed and relieved that she hadn't eaten that bowl of porridge.
After such a commotion, Aunt became even more convinced of the Old Man's words.
When they encountered the Three Grandmothers by the pond again, everyone seemed a bit uneasy.
The Three Grandmothers paid no attention to these details; she sat cross-legged on the ground, murmuring incantations.
Uncertain murmurs filled the air.
"Light the incense!"
With that command from the Old Master, someone beside him brought over an incense burner.
Three sticks of incense were inserted into it.
However, no matter how the Old Master fiddled with it, the incense simply refused to ignite.
The Three Grandmothers stood nearby with a grim expression.
She glanced at the two corpses in the pond.
One was that of the grandmother, her eyes wide open as if gazing at the sky.
The other was that of the Second Uncle, head down and submerged in the water.
In the sunlight, it appeared particularly horrifying.
The younger aunt trembled and asked the Aunt, "Sister-in-law, do you remember what Second Sister-in-law said last time?"
The Aunt jumped in surprise, "What did she say?"
The younger aunt replied, "On the day Second Brother went out, it seemed he was going to catch Field Snails."
Upon hearing this, the Aunt hurriedly looked towards my mother.
