Zhou Wei took a step back and said, "Who the *** are you!" After speaking, he pushed the woman away and ran towards the village like a madman.
Zhou Wei pushed open the door of the village chief's house and saw Professor Lin saying goodbye to Headman Wang as he was about to leave. Seeing Zhou Wei's disheveled appearance, Professor Lin couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ghost! No, a crazy woman... I, I..." Zhou Wei gasped for breath and said.
"Zhou Wei, take your time and tell us what happened," said Professor Lin as he helped Zhou Wei.
After listening to Zhou Wei's account, Headman Wang laughed and said, "I'm really sorry! I forgot to tell you, that's Widow Liu. Her husband went to Lingmu Mountain to collect medicinal herbs two years ago and unfortunately fell to his death. Since then, she has gone mad. Every night, she sings opera incoherently. Please don't be alarmed, she means no harm."
After listening to Headman Wang's words, Professor Lin patted Zhou Wei and said, "It's okay. Look how scared you are."
On the way back, Zhou Wei asked Professor Lin, "How come we didn't see Suli?"
Professor Lin said, "Suli slept in Headman Wang's old house last night."
Zhou Wei couldn't help but admire Suli a little, never expecting such a small and weak girl to be so brave.
Zhou Wei thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Professor Lin, I always feel like something is not right there, as if it's very evil."
"What's not right?" asked Professor Lin.
"Do you still remember Headman Wang's wife? When you helped her with her illness, I unintentionally saw the spots on her hands. You may not believe it, but those are livor mortis, and it seems to have just formed," Zhou Wei said.
"You, saw it clearly," Professor Lin stopped in his tracks.
"Absolutely, my main subject is surgery. Those are definitely postmortem lividity, because they just formed not long ago, so it's still in the settling period," Zhou Wei said firmly.
"Zhou Wei, do you understand leprosy?" Professor Lin asked him.
"Understood," Zhou Wei nodded.
"The initial manifestation of leprosy starts from the skin and spreads, similar to the spread of corpse spots. I can sense that Headman Wang's wife may have leprosy. Just think, if it were corpse spots, could she still be talking to us?" Professor Lin said with a smile.
Zhou Wei scratched his head apologetically, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. But, it really seems quite dangerous there."
"We are medical students, if we are afraid of everything, how can we achieve success? Besides, if there is really any danger there, County Magistrate Qin wouldn't have sent us," said Professor Lin.
Zhou Wei didn't speak anymore. He looked into the distance, and Lingmu Mountain at night looked like a terrifying monster with a wide-open mouth. Zhou Wei felt that Lingmu Village must not be as simple as imagined.
The next day at noon, after lunch, Professor Lin took Zhou Wei and Suli to the entrance of Lingmu Village to volunteer to treat the villagers.
Headman Wang stood happily at the village entrance, banging a gong, while the villagers lined up one by one to watch.
Most of them had minor illnesses like colds and coughs.
Zhou Wei Sat bored for a while, then found an excuse and left.
The villagers all went to the village entrance to see a doctor, and the once bustling Lingmu Village now seems a bit deserted.
Zhou Wei lit a cigarette and walked aimlessly.
"Ah, help!" Suddenly, a voice came from a house nearby.
Zhou Wei was taken aback, the voice seemed to be a woman's, thinking of that, Zhou Wei took a step inside.
The room was probably uninhabited, with a smell of dust inside, Zhou Wei couldn't help but sneeze.
He brushed away the spider web in front of his eyes and shouted, "Who's calling for help in there!"
Zhou Wei looked inside and saw what seemed to be a shrine. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in. There was a door next to him. Zhou Wei reached out and pushed it open, and was immediately taken aback as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
A table is placed in front of Zhou Wei, with hundreds of spirit tablets of various sizes arranged on top.
In the middle, one spirit tablet is inscribed with the spirit position of Village Chief Wang Xigui.
Those words clearly broke into Zhou Wei's eyes, and a few seconds later, Zhou Wei ran out with a cry of "Ah."
Thinking of the corpse spots on Headman Wang's wife's hands, the old man standing in the coffin, and everything else, Zhou Wei dared not think further, with only one thought - to run.
Zhou Wei stumbled and ran to the village entrance, trembling as he shouted, "Hurry, Professor Lin, Suli, run! The people there, they're all dead."
Professor Lin froze, looking at Zhou Wei and asked, "What happened, Zhou Wei?"
"The ancestral hall is filled with spirit tablets, it belongs to the entire Lingmu Village," Zhou Wei said loudly.
"What?" Professor Lin stood up as soon as he heard.
"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding," Headman Wang hastily stood up. "The shrine on the west side is specifically for the ancestral tablets of our entire village. It's a tradition passed down from our ancestors in Lingmu Village."
Zhou Wei paused and asked, "Is that true?"
"Hehe, do we look like dead people to you?" Headman Wang said with a smile. The villagers beside him also laughed along.
Zhou Wei said half-believingly, "Then what about your wife..."
"Okay, Zhou Wei, stop talking. Don't talk nonsense about the vast and boundless universe," Professor Lin stopped him. Zhou Wei didn't speak again. He felt that he might have been a little reckless. But thinking of those spirit cards, densely arranged in front of his eyes, how could he not be afraid.
Professor Lin looked helplessly at Zhou Wei and said, "You, a big boy, look at someone like Suli."
Professor Lin As soon as I turned around, Suli was nowhere to be seen.
