CHAPTER 1

1974, late summer.

"Hey, hey! It's a corpse! It's a corpse!"

What kind of corpse is she? Isn't she still alive...

No, to be precise, she died and came back to life.

Su Yong never thought that she would die when she died, and she would still be able to time travel; even if she did time travel, she was thrown on a wooden stretcher by several strong men and dragged outside the house when she opened her eyes.

This is a narrow, cramped, small shack built of earth bricks.

A group of strange yet familiar neighbors crowded in front of me, wearing coarse cloth clothes with patches, all of them had sallow complexions.

The most burly woman in the middle was pointing at Su Yue with her hips akimbo, trembling in horror, her lips were pale, and she kept saying,

"Su Yue cheated on his corpse, living dead... living dead..."

"What's going on here, aren't you out of breath, your pulse doesn't jump or anything, why are your eyelids moving?"

"That's why I said I cheated on the corpse!" He Hua pointed at the two strong men: "You guys, you two men, be more courageous, hurry up and bury her before she wakes up!!

"Yeah! Don't wait to die in our courtyard again, how unlucky it is, the blood of bad guys stinks!"

Su Yue: "..."

It's fine to say that she cheated on the corpse, why insult her...

When everyone said something to each other, Su Yue's mind was heavy and she couldn't speak.

She twisted her sore head uncomfortably, and the next second she heard a piercing scream piercing her eardrums, and then...she was thrown on the hard concrete floor like a dead body.

"Snapped--"

With this fall, Su Yue, who was already vulnerable to a single blow, fell like being crushed by a tractor, and all internal organs were displaced.

"Ah - really cheated! Su Yue cheated! Su Yue cheated!"

Wu Yangyang's scream pierced her ears, Su Yue said with a hoarse and heavy voice, weakly and with difficulty: "What are you shouting, shouting, I... am not dead..."

What came was an even more frightening scream--

She seemed to have swallowed again.

From the original Su family mansion in the north of the city to the current Dazayuan, the police came here again and again, all because of the murder case that happened here today.

The deceased was an 18-year-old female. The cause of death was initially diagnosed as an accidental fall. Public cocurity officers are currently interrogating her.

Neighbor 1: "I have a normal relationship with her, and I don't know why she died at home. She usually looks like an honest girl."

Neighbor 2: "She lives alone in her house. It's normal to accidentally fall and no one will find out. It's a pity that she is so young..."

Neighbor 3: "Oh, I don't know why this kind of thing happened in our yard. Although Su Yue's family status is not good, it is still a living life... Tsk, I can only say that life is bad!"

Neighbor 4 (a child): "I am the first to find out that she is dead, can I be rewarded?"

⇀⁠‸⁠↼

After asking a circle of residents, a female comrade enthusiastically raised her hand to answer: "Comrade Public Security, I know,

I know!"

So two male police officers walked over with the notebook: "What relationship do you have with the deceased? Where were you on the day of the incident?"

He Hua tidied up her appearance, brushed her sideburns and her hair, then cleared her throat and replied, "Cough, I have nothing to do with her, I'm just a neighbor, I live next door to her, and I was working outside when she died. When I got home, I heard someone said that someone had died, no, I rushed over here in a hurry."

After finishing speaking, he laughed: "Comrade Public Security, you don't know that she was not a good person before she died! Her parents are black people, they are bad elements, and her family background is not good. She is not welcome in our courtyard, but don't get me wrong, although she was not born well, the people living in our yard are all good people, no one bullies her, and they help her on weekdays... She usually sweeps our streets to make a living, and she is very kind To be honest, I just don't know why I can't think about it..."

There was something in her words, and the two male police officers frowned at the same time: "The dead are the worst, please don't describe the answers other than the questions of the police officers."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, He Hua blushed, and was dragged away by her man.

"It's dead, what are you talking about?" Her man gave her a displeased look, cursing as he walked.

Not to be outdone, He Hua glared at him, then caught a glimpse of Comrade Public Security from the corner of the eye, and lowered her voice resentfully, "It's just the truth, look at these people, they are all hypocritical... Aren't they usually good at bullying Su Yue... "

"Do you have the nerve to speak of someone else? Do you know that misfortune comes from your mouth?"

"Didn't I just want to make it clear to Comrade Public Security, so that we don't wrong us for harming her..."

"You talk too much!"

"Tsk! Who are you speaking for! isn't that kind of bad guy's death a retribution."

Su Yue woke up again, in an extremely dark and gloomy mortuary.

Pulling off the white cloth covering her body, she moved her stiff limbs very slowly and got off the bed.

The temperature here is very low, it is clearly the end of August, but it is so cold that people's teeth chatter.

Su Yue didn't have shoes on her feet, so she pushed open the unlocked door step by step and walked out.

Of course, as a corpse, it's immoral to cheat...not to mention it's nighttime...

Su Yue managed to scare the hospital security staff to death. Later, someone went to report to the police, and someone used an iron fork to pin her against the wall to prevent her from leaving.

After the police and doctors all arrived, they took her back to the morgue in handcuffs.

After some interrogation and inspection, it was confirmed that she was not "completely dead", that is, the so-called "fraudulent corpse", and then she was taken to the Public Security Bureau for a two-hour record before she was released.

At half past nine in the evening, there was a golden full moon hanging in the sky, but few stars could be seen, and the cold air seemed to block the light.

The empty city streets were already asleep, except for the gentle breeze blowing at night, and the occasional dog barking, only Su Yue's light footsteps remained.

Ghostly...very slow...very light...

In the courtyard, He Hua tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Thinking about the girl next door, Su Yue, who just died today, no one dared to enter the shack for a while, but the Su family used to be a big family, even if it fell, there should be some valuable things hidden in the house, right?

This person is dead, and things can't be taken away. It's better to use them for the living than to waste them...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't let go of this opportunity to take advantage. Before the big guy had time to react, she had to act first!

Passing over her sleeping husband and son, He Hua stepped out of bed, and got into the small shack of Su Yue's next door in half a minute.

I squeezed the flashlight tightly and searched for it. After a while, the wooden door creaked behind me.

He Hua shuddered and woke up for a while, subconsciously turned her head, Ding Qing saw it, and almost fainted without fright.

The dilapidated wooden door was only closed by her when she came in, but now it opened a crack for some reason.

Under the cold moonlight, she saw a pale, bloodless and strange face, those round eyes were wide open, the eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her long hair was messily scattered behind her head.

Coordinating with the dark night and the full moon, He Hua let out a violent exclamation, her legs softened, and she sat straight on the cold ground, where Su Yue's body lay in the morning!

"He, Hua?" Su Yue frowned, her hoarse voice was like two pieces of gravel rubbing against each other, and He Hua panicked when she heard it.

She swallowed, and her sharp voice seemed to be broken: "I, I, I... I only came to steal things after you were dead. I am not the one who killed you! Don't come Scare me, Su Yue! Don't scare me-"

Su Yue at the door was slightly taken aback, and blinked her dry eyes.

Funny, she seems to think she's a ghost.

Turning her eyes around, Su Yue simply followed her plan and pretended to be a female ghost.

She can lower her voice, eerie and ghostly: "He~Hua~ I have no grievances with you, why~why do you want to kill me~steal my things~"

"what--"

A series of ugly voices spewed out from Su Yue's mouth, He Hua was really scared to death, her legs were so limp, she couldn't move at all!

"No, no, it's not me! They say you're starving to death, but it's none of my business!"

"Then why are you waiting for me to die~ stealing from me~"

He Hua trembled, turned her head into a rattle drum, and her lips were completely bloodless: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I am obsessed with ghosts, I will die! I shouldn't come to search your house before you are dead. Baby! I was wrong! Please forgive me, don't come to harm me! I don't want to die!!"

Su Yue almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Grabbing her thigh, she stabilized her voice, and said slowly, "He Hua~ You all bullied me before I died~ You even stole my baby~Damn you~I'm going to drag you to hell~You should come too Look~ how scary hell is, there are so many ghosts here~ pull out your tongue, peel off your skin, poke your eyeballs, and pluck out your heart~"

The more she spoke, the more she exaggerated, He Hua trembled in fright, and a pool of water stains gradually spread from her body... Mixed with a piss and anger, Su Yue pouted her nose in disgust.

Isn't it so scary?

But seeing that she was so afraid of herself, Su Yong thought that the other people in this courtyard were probably the same as her, after all, she was "cared for" by them a lot during her "lifetime".

If you do too many bad things, aren't you afraid of ghosts?

Thinking of this, a weird and penetrating smile twitched at the corner of her mouth, He Hua was so frightened that she begged again and again, laying down on the ground and slamming her head on the ground, every hit was harder than the next.

She was really scared, because before Su Yong was alive, she was the one who bullied her the most!

When He Hua's head was smashed, she raised her head weakly and met the terrifying eye.

There was another sharp scream,which roused all the sleeping neighbors to their spirits.

Someone came out of the house with a sweet mouth, and took advantage of the time to go to the toilet to see who was awake at night and disturbed people's dreams.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the dead Su Yue standing outside the shack!

One scream higher than the other, one after another, scolding mothers one after another, the sound of opening and closing the door, resounded in every corner of the courtyard.

There was a strange light in Su Yue's eyes, her lips opened and closed suddenly, and she said two words to He Hua: "Get out."

He Hua wanted to leave a long time ago, but now she didn't care about anything else, she staggered up from the ground, and crawled out of the small shack.

After coming out, Su Yue went into the shack.

Outside, the moonlight was shining brightly, and He Hua could clearly see the empty scene in the yard.

At no time did she feel that this yard was so terrifying!

He quickly ran home and hid in the bed. He Hua never dared to go out in the middle of the night again.
