A bright red long dress, a golden headpiece, nails grown long on hands and feet, a heavily made-up face with blood-red blush and lips on snow-white skin, like a long-legged spider crawling over, picking up the gold coins on the ground and starting to devour them.

Just as she opened her dark mouth to eat, she suddenly froze.

She saw me.

Dropping the gold coins, the woman slowly crawled towards me.

Opening her mouth wide, she made a hissing sound.

Then it turned into a mournful and eerie howl.

Cutting through the smoke and flames, she suddenly lunged at me, grabbing me and pulling me towards her.

She pulled me over, stepping on the flames in front of me, ashes flying all over my face.

I forgot the pain, just being pulled back by her.

When I finally reacted, Xiaoyong and Xiaowen were already beside me, pulling me.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

The woman in front of me seemed very afraid of others, immediately letting go of my hand and crawling back, when she reached the tombstone, she turned around and looked at me, opening her mouth to scream, making a gesture at her neck with her hand.

A gesture of slitting her throat.

I was so scared that I sat down on the ground, only then did I come to my senses.

I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

Everything in front of me seemed normal, the paper-folded gold coins still on the offering table.

I stood up, looking at the spot where the woman had just disappeared, next to it was a tombstone with the name Jin Qiuge written on it.

"Qiuge! Qiuge just came!"

Everyone heard me shout like that, and they all went down to look around.

But everything was normal.

Di Shida was the only one sad, burning paper and crying.

"Qiuge, my poor daughter-in-law!"

My father reached out and waved his hand in front of my eyes.

"What did you see Qiuge do?"

"Qiuge was eating the gold coins we folded," I whispered.

"That's not right," my father said, "this is our Jin family's grave, she is now part of the Diao family, even if she's taking things, she should go to the Diao family's side to take them."

That's right.

Why did it happen like this?
