Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 202 Supernatural Legend
In the dimly lit room, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The monster covered in human skin made a strange and harsh fake sound, laughed strangely, and looked at Ran Qing and the other two.

Mo Li and Long Zong Shu Hai were better off. In their eyes, the mandrill was a normal living person.

But in Ran Qing's vision, the mandrill in front of him was an utterly terrifying monster...

Ran Qing's face was calm and he said nothing.

The old woman hurriedly shouted upstairs, "Xiao Sanyong! Your second uncle is looking for you!"

Soon footsteps were heard, and the young corpse ran down quickly with a bang.

Seeing the mandrill monster covered in bloody human skin, the young corpse shouted, "Second Uncle."

The appearance of the young corpse broke the stiff atmosphere in the house.

The hunched mandrill no longer looked at Ran Qing and the other two, but pointed at the chicken on the ground and said, "I've bought the corn chicken you asked for, and I've drained the blood for you."

The young corpse had no doubts. After asking for the money for the chicken, he took out two crumpled banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the mandrill. Then he carried the dead chicken into the kitchen at the back to boil water.

The corpse handed money to the mandrill and bought a chicken... This scene was really weird.

After the mandrill took the money, it glanced at the three living people present with its yellow eyes, then said goodbye to the old woman and left.

This ferocious mandrill came suddenly and left very quickly.

Ran Qing looked at the other person's departing back without saying a word.

But he knew in his heart that the mandrill must have seen that the three of them were living people and became hostile.

When their eyes met just now, Ran Qing could feel a distinct biting chill.

But perhaps he was afraid of the number of Ran Qing and the other two, or perhaps he was afraid of the paper figures outside, or perhaps he was afraid of something else.

In short, the mandrill did not pester us, but walked away quickly.

After the mandrill had gone far away, the old woman whispered, "This mandrill came in yesterday. It killed one of my nephews and then skinned him and wore his skin on his body."

"He put on the skin and pretended to be human, so the ghosts and other people on the street couldn't recognize it."

"But it also seems to be afraid of the ghosts on Longchang Street. I saw it hiding far away from that red door."

As the old woman spoke of the mandrill, her face showed a mixture of hatred and fear, and she gritted her teeth.

She forgot that she was dead and accepted that her grandson who died early came back as a corpse.

But his own nephew died in the monster's mouth, and the monster peeled off his skin to replace his identity... It hated and feared him.

Ran Qing said: "Old man, since you don't know who that female ghost is, let's go find her ourselves."

Now that the mandrill has left, Ran Qing naturally has to get back to business.

The topic of the female ghost cursed by the horoscope card was brought up again.

Seeing this, the old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."

She turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Xiao Sanyong, come here quickly. I have something to ask you."

Soon, footsteps were heard, and a young mummy with chicken feathers on his hands came out with an impatient look on his face, saying, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

The old woman asked, "Have any young people come to the streets recently? Young women, you walk around the streets every day, have you seen any?"

The old woman asked her grandson.

The young corpse was curious: "Why are you asking this?"

The old woman looked at her grandson. There were no pupils in her dry eye sockets, but she must have been glaring. "Just answer when I ask you! Is there anything wrong with that?"

The young corpse nodded, "Miaozi doesn't have any, but I heard the well behind the school is haunted. Someone saw a girl wearing Miao clothing sitting by the well."

"Someone also saw the woman in Miao clothing walking around the well."

"Once she gets close to him, the girl will even call out his name. It's really weird."

"It's vacation time again, and there's no one in the school. No one has dared to go to that well for several days." Young corpses often walk on the streets and tell supernatural stories.

The old woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"

The young corpse shook his head. "It happened just two days ago. Liu Xiaoqi was the first to see it. We all just thought he was talking nonsense."

"But the next night, Li Ermao also saw it, but we didn't go to verify its authenticity."

The young corpse obviously didn't take this supernatural story seriously.

But the expressions of Ran Qing and the other two changed immediately.

The old woman said, "Then you can take the three masters and carry the paper figurines to the well and help them lead the way."

The old woman said, "They are masters who specialize in catching ghosts. They came to Longchang this time to catch ghosts."

"By the way, don't tell anyone else about this on the way. Keep it a secret."

The old woman gave careful instructions.

The young corpse was stunned for a moment, a little shocked: "Are these three masters of catching ghosts?"

It looked at the three young men in front of it in disbelief.

Ran Qing and the other two looked like students, full of youthful bookish air.

It has nothing to do with the ghost catcher.

The old woman glared at her grandson and scolded him, "What I said is true, so why do you care so much? Hurry up and lead the masters. Once you reach the well, come back quickly and don't stay outside."

"The streets might be a bit turbulent tonight, so don't go out and play mahjong."

After scolding her grandson, the old woman couldn't help but give him some advice.

Ran Qing and the other two had already gone out and started carrying the four paper figures.

Although the young corpse did not quite believe in the three men's master status, he still quickly followed them.

He helped carry a paper figure, so Ran Qing, Long Zongshu and Mo Li only needed to carry one each.

Three people, a dog and a corpse were carrying four paper figures as they walked along Longchang Street.

But in the heavy fog at this time, the streets seemed a little dark and desolate.

The sun had already set in the sky, and night gradually enveloped Longchang Street.

The bustling streets that were crowded with people during the day were now completely deserted.

The villagers who came from the surrounding villages to attend the market all went back home.

All the vendors on both sides of the road have withdrawn, and the deserted streets are empty and deserted. Occasionally, one or two people are cleaning up the garbage in front of their homes.

The young corpse was walking in front, carrying the paper man, and looked back at the three people behind him with some curiosity.

It asked, "Are you really ghost catchers?"

The young corpse was extremely curious.

Ran Qing glanced at it and asked, "You don't believe it?"

The young corpse shook his head and chuckled, "I didn't believe it at first, but you're so young, a little too young, that I actually believe it a little bit."

"At your age, you should be studying in school, right? You don't look like a scammer to be out in the world so early."

"You are too young. There is no such thing as a liar like you. You can't fool anyone at all."

The young corpse said, "Besides, I am very careful and never believe those wet-woman scammers. Ordinary people can't fool her."

"She said you guys are masters at catching ghosts, so I kind of believe it."
