Chapter 0323 – Only Kindness

　　The door of the ancestral hall opened again, the scissors in the woman’s hand dripped with blood, matching the large red coat she was wearing.

　　Seeing this scene, the first villager who brought the basket into the ancestral hall sat paralyzed on the ground, she tried her best to control herself, but she still cried out.

　　There was no one around to help her, no one even dared to look up.

　　The woman walked out of the ancestral hall and went to the coffin, whispering softly as if she was communicating with what was inside.

　　A few moments later, she rushed back to the villagers and said a few more words.

　　The second villager carrying the basket shook his head repeatedly, seemingly disagreeing with sending his child out.

　　The woman held out three fingers, and before they were all retracted, the villager next to her snatched the man’s bamboo basket and placed it in front of the woman.

　　The hand with the scissors lifted the bamboo basket, and the baby cried even louder, fueled by the smell of blood, but no one dared to stop this.

　　Once again, the woman entered the middle of the shrine, the door to the room closed, and no one knew what was happening inside.

　　The sacrifice continued, accompanied by the ear-piercing cries of the baby, the living coffin village became more and more terrifying, and a pair of unfamiliar eyes slowly opened in the darkness.

　　Chen Ge and Lao Wei, who were hiding in the room, also ran into trouble. In the old mansion, which was originally quite safe, the soil was loosening, and it seemed that something was about to crawl out of it.

　　The rags hanging on the eaves of the house fluttered in the wind, in which it seemed like a twisted human face was wrapped.

　　Shadows constantly flashed around the windows, and strange noises could occasionally be heard inside the house, as if someone hiding under the bed was banging on the bedpan.

　　The evil spirits were awakening, and terror enveloped the entire village, slowly gripping everyone’s heart.

　　The door of the dilapidated shrine was pushed open by the woman, the baby’s cries had disappeared, blood dripped down the scissors, even though the woman was wearing a big red dress, the blood clots on her body could still be seen.

　　”The second one.” Chen Ge’s gaze was fixed on Ah Qing, the man with deformed arms whose body had been trembling.

　　The woman stood next to the coffin holding the scissors and whispered, another woman’s laughter could be clearly heard in the red coffin, the sound was frightening, as if it was a curse that could not be undone.

　　Grasping the scissors, the woman lifts her hand upwards as if she understands the meaning of the red coffin, and she looks towards the third villager holding the bamboo basket.

　　Numb, cold, and without any hope, the man himself placed the bamboo basket in front of the woman.

　　As the woman entered the shrine with the third bamboo basket, the shrine’s offering table shook and one of the tablets tipped to the ground, as if unwilling to look any further.

　　The door to the room closed, and the baby’s cries snapped to a higher pitch, then came to an abrupt end.

　　Blood seeped out of the doorway, and strange noises emanated from all corners of the village, as if the land was crying.

　　The mansion where Chen Ge and the others were also saw new changes, the coffin in the bedroom made thuds and thuds, and the portrait on the wall opened its eyes with a hideous face.

　　The female ghost seemed to just want to deliberately torment the people in this village, to live and die in peace.

　　The woman in red walked out of the ancestral hall for the third time, her pant legs were dripping blood downwards, at this moment Chen Ge finally understood why she wore a big red coat.

　　One step at a time, one bloody footprint, the woman inquired about the coffin, but only laughter came out from inside the coffin.

　　Hearing this sound, Qing’s trembling legs finally couldn’t hold on, he fell to his knees, one long and one short arm grasping the bamboo basket in death.

　　The woman stretched out three fingers towards him, and the villagers wearing masks around him all stepped forward together, separating Ah Qing and the basket.

　　Before the woman’s fingers were all withdrawn, the bamboo basket in Ah Qing’s hand was delivered to the woman.

　　The door to the shrine closed, and no one knew what the woman had done to the baby in the bamboo basket, only that all the dead souls of this village were crying.

　　The understanding that the villagers had prayed for did not appear, and it was only when all the babies were brought into the middle of the ancestral hall by the woman that the laughter in the coffin slowly stopped.

　　By now the woman’s red dress was soaked through, and she put away the scissors that were covered in blood and asked the villagers to open the red coffin that stood next to the shrine.

　　There was no body in the coffin, only a set of jewelry, presumably items that the female ghost had carried with her when she was abducted to Coffin Village in her lifetime.

　　The woman put on the jewelry piece by piece, and with each piece she wore, the aura emanating from her body became one point colder, and her skin became paler.

　　After putting on all the jewelry, the woman walked towards the crowd, and all the villagers retreated to the sides, leaving only a boy and a girl and two children in the open space in the middle.

　　The boy’s body is thin and weak, even in such a horrible environment, still did not feel any fear.

　　The girl was the opposite of the boy, her body was shivering and she looked pitiful, as if she was a kitten that had not been born for a long time.

　　These two children were none other than Fan Yu and Jiang Ling.

　　”Welcome home, no one can harm you here.” The woman stroked Jiang Ling’s head and held her hand as she walked towards the outside of the village, while the other villagers followed behind carrying a single white paper lantern.

　　The crowd quickly left the center of the village, and both Fan Yu and Jiang Ling were taken away by them.

　　”Listening to that woman’s tone won’t hurt Jiang Ling, Fan Yu escorted Jiang Ling all the way, and it doesn’t make sense for them to take action against Fan Yu.” Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils, he clearly saw that Fan Yu was covered with injuries, his clothes were scratched by branches, his arms were bruised, and his face had a few large bags from mosquito bites, in order to escort Jiangling, this child had not suffered much.

　　”The woman said that no one can harm Jiangling here, it seems that Jiangling and Fan Yu did flee here for refuge.” Chen Ge thought for a moment, “To be able to make Jiangling’s sister feel the pressure and have to flee, the entire Jiujiang is probably the only one that the Weird Talk Association has this strength.”

　　The village’s mutation was still continuing, Chen Ge didn’t dare to delay any longer, he greeted Master Bai and Old Wei and headed towards the ancestral hall.

　　As soon as he pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, the smell of blood gushed out, and the scene inside the room only made people frown when they looked at it.

　　”That woman wouldn’t have given …… several babies.”

　　Chen Ge stepped into the middle of the ancestral hall, the offering table was covered in dust, it should not have been cleaned for a long time.

　　The tablets that should have been offered up had fallen all over the place, some had cracked, but no one had organized them.

　　”Chen Ge, this blood shouldn’t be from a baby.” Old Wei touched the blood on the ground, “The woman was holding a pair of scissors in her hand when she entered the ancestral hall, assuming that was the murder weapon she used, if she stabbed the body with scissors, the wound would have erupted with blood, and it’s impossible for the blood to be distributed in such a regular manner.”

　　”That means the baby might not have been harmed?” Chen Ge searched the shrine along the bloodstains and finally stopped at a corner of the shrine, where some miscellaneous objects were piled up haphazardly.

　　He moved the clutter out of the way and realized that there was a tunnel underneath.

　　”You two stay outside, I’ll go in and take a look.” Chen Ge pressed the repeater switch before drilling into the tunnel.

　　The tunnel was only two to three meters long, and at the end was a hidden wooden board.

　　Chen Ge raised his hand and pushed the wooden board away, and he found himself in the small two-story building next to the ancestral hall.

　　”Isn’t this where the Zhu woman lives?”
