Chapter 436: The Ghostly Ideas of a Little Imp

"What are you doing, what are you all doing?"

The old bachelor panicked.

He hugged his arms tightly and squeezed desperately toward the outside of the crowd!

He had never seen so much money either.

Let alone seen it, he hadn't even dreamed of it.

He didn't intend to share it; this was all for him, why should he share it with the villagers?

A crowd of people gathered noisily, pushing, shoving, and pulling at each other.

The small thatched cottage couldn't hold them, so they pushed and shoved their way outside.

"Aunt, let's go quickly." Sheng Hanyu put on his clothes in a few quick movements and carried his aunt on his back again.

He had indeed been prepared to fight for his life just a moment ago, but he hadn't expected this outcome.

If he had known it would be like this, he should have thrown the money out sooner.

For Sheng Hanyu, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem!

Arriving outside, the people he had brought all had expressions similar to Sheng Hanyu's.

Each and every one of them was incredibly astonished, not knowing what had happened.

Sheng Hanyu gestured to his own men, telling everyone to take advantage of the chaos and leave quickly!

Shi Youxuan hadn't waited long at the foot of the mountain before she saw silhouettes flickering halfway up the mountainside, with more and more lights appearing.

At first there were only one or two, but soon all the houses halfway up the mountain lit up.

And as the lights connected into a single expanse, Shi Youxuan was astonished to discover that there were actually quite a few households here.

It was just that they lived quite far apart.

People were holding torches in their hands, and the torches were constantly moving toward one point.

And that point was the target of Sheng Hanyu and his group.

Oh no, Hanyu and his aunt are in danger!

Shi Youxuan was incredibly anxious; she wanted to go save them, but looking at the few people left in the cars, she decided against it.

It was too late to call the police now; the nearest police station in the town was hundreds of kilometers away, and the mountain roads were rugged.

In this godforsaken place, even the navigation didn't work.

Since calling the police wasn't an option, she had to rely on herself.

Shi Youxuan had everyone get out of the cars and assigned two people to catch fireflies!

The others were told to open the trunks of all the cars.

They took out wrenches, pliers, and other car repair tools from inside, but Shi Youxuan didn't let them use these to rush up and save people; instead, she had them take off the seat covers.

The back of the seat covers was white; when turned inside out and worn on the head, they looked like a fluffy white mass in the dark, which was a bit terrifying.

That's right, Shi Youxuan intended for the remaining few people to pretend to be ghosts!

In terms of combat strength, the few of them were just trash.

But pretending to be ghosts to scare people was more than enough.

One ghost was scary enough, let alone several.

This was a big mountain, and the people in the mountains had an innate sense of awe toward ghosts, gods, and spirits, but just this wasn't enough; the "props" weren't sufficient yet.

This plan was a spur-of-the-moment idea, and all the props needed to be gathered on the spot!

Shi Youxuan had people tie plastic buckets to their backs, making them look like "monsters," and told them to knock on the buckets when necessary.

Then she had them take apart the mop handles; the stainless steel pipes were perfect to hold in their hands as weapons, and the mop heads were placed on small buckets and tied to their shoulders with Rope, making it look like they had two heads!

Shi Youxuan had everyone use different props to dress up in bizarre and strange ways!

Seeing this, everyone else also put their brains to work, each showing their own unique skills.

Some people were in their zodiac birth year and were wearing red belts.

The belts were untied and cut into segments, with everyone taking a piece and holding it in their mouths, looking like long, protruding tongues.

Shi Youxuan gave a thumbs up, affirming such creativity.

At this time, the two people catching fireflies returned, and Shi Youxuan had them distribute a few fireflies to everyone to put in their pockets, hide in the bags on their heads, and place in every possible spot on their bodies.

The few people, who were already bizarrely dressed, now looked even more "terrifying"—emitting faint green lights from their bodies at irregular times and in irregular locations!

The final step.

Using engine oil to blacken their faces, they were now completely unrecognizable as human!

After the few people were dressed up, they quietly crept up toward the mountainside.

Halfway up the mountain.

Sheng Hanyu was carrying his aunt on his back, surrounded by bodyguards as they retreated downward.

They had only walked a few steps when they were discovered.

"Don't let them run away, chase them!"

Someone roared, and it was quite effective.

The villagers immediately stopped their infighting, picked up their tools again, and quickly surrounded the group.

"Don't run."

"Stop."

"The men can go, but the woman stays."

A man who leaves a woman behind has no good intentions; Lao San didn't want to share the money with him, so that woman should belong to him...

He wants everything.

"Then give the money back," Xiaojun said.

Even he couldn't stand to watch anymore.

This person immediately rebuked: "Get lost—you shameless traitor, bringing outsiders back to the hometown to snatch women; you are not a person of our Xiaonan Village, shut your mouth at once."

So he really did shut his mouth and shrank behind others, trying his best to minimize his presence.

The villagers once again surrounded the few people.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and everyone started running down the mountain, with the villagers immediately giving chase.

Shi Youxuan watched from afar as the torches moved rapidly toward this side; not knowing what had happened, she told everyone to hide.

The figures grew closer and closer.

"They are coming over." Shi Youxuan had sharp eyes and recognized that the person running in the very front was Sheng Hanyu.

It looked like he was carrying someone on his back; he must have rescued the aunt.

She understood Sheng Hanyu's character; he would absolutely never run out unless he had rescued the person!

Her heart was filled with great joy, but she couldn't stay happy for even two seconds before her mood plummeted.

Because the "pursuers" behind were running too fast, the distance was closing, and they had even started fighting with those running at the back...

"Start!"

Shi Youxuan waved her hand and fired the signal flare.

This was to send a message to their own people to avoid friendly fire!

Then, several people leaped out, making all sorts of strange sounds from their throats.

Their appearance was too terrifying.

At first glance, they were white, fluffy masses that looked like monsters; looking closely, some even had two heads—they were monsters!

Furthermore, each "monster" had a long, bright red "tongue" that swayed left and right, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

"Ghosts!"

Someone shouted, and they turned and ran.

Then more and more people shouted "There are ghosts," turning around and scrambling to run back!

Some people lost their Spring Shoes, some dropped their torches, and some fell down and were trampled by the people behind them before they could even get up.

Then they tripped even more people.

The villagers, who had been aggressive just a moment ago, instantly became disheveled and miserable.

Shi Youxuan mimicked the voice of a "female ghost" from a horror movie and shrieked eerily: "On this night of the full moon, you dare to run wild on my territory; do you all not want to live? Hahahaha..."

"Come keep me company; you all wanted a woman, didn't you? Come here..."

There were no women here.

No, that wasn't right; the only woman was on Sheng Hanyu's back, very weak, and couldn't possibly make such a vigorous, eerie, and terrifying sound!

Who could it be?

It could only be—"Ghost!"

The villagers were scared out of their wits; those who fell couldn't stand up and crawled forward, rolling and scrambling, now only regretting that their parents hadn't given them more legs.

Shi Youxuan had originally wanted to chase them for a few steps to create a bit more tension.

But her arm was suddenly grabbed by a large hand: "Enough is enough." He grabbed her and ran back.

The aunt had already been switched to someone else's back; people took turns carrying her, ran to the car, and only after starting it did they all heave a sigh of relief.
