The next day, news spread in the nearby area that a young boy had encountered a ghost last night and was possessed. The ghost would not leave him alone, driving him mad and causing him to lose his senses, muttering nonsense. After several days, it was said that the boy's condition worsened despite visits from doctors and treatments with medicine. Even when Taoist priests were invited to chant spells, he could not be cured. Not long after, news came that the young boy who met the ghost had died.
Suddenly, Sister Li heard a sound behind her. She felt very uneasy and turned around to find someone chasing her from a distance. Sister Li immediately realized that she must have encountered a bad person. What should she do? In this vast wilderness, there were only deserted graves, sparse trees, herself, and that bad person. At this moment, Sister Li calmed down under pressure and quickly thought of a plan. She stood under a white poplar tree by a grave, pulled out her hairpin and earrings and put them in her pocket. Then, she untied her silk belt and tied it around her neck, letting her hair loose, sticking out her tongue, and staring straight at the approaching villain. When the person got close to Sister Li, she changed her tone and called him over. When the person carefully looked at Sister Li, they saw what appeared to be a hanged ghost and screamed in terror, collapsing on the ground unable to get up. Sister Li seized the opportunity and quickly escaped, avoiding harm.
There was a young woman named Sister Li who was not only beautiful but also hardworking and kind. She respected her elders and was a good daughter in her parents' home, and later became a good daughter-in-law in her husband’s home.
One day, Sister Li's mother fell ill and sent word to her. Sister Li was very worried and without waiting for her husband to return to accompany her to visit her mother, she hurriedly set off alone. As she walked, the sky gradually darkened. A crescent moon faintly illuminated the path, just enough to see where she was going.
Sister Li ran all the way back to her mother's house. Her family was shocked to see her disheveled appearance, sweat-soaked clothes, and messy state. Once she caught her breath, Sister Li slowly recounted the events that happened on the road. The family was both angry and amused. Sister Li's mother lovingly stroked her daughter's hair and said: "My child has suffered."
Although Sister Li was a woman of old times, she was able to save herself in an emergency and remained calm, resourceful, and brave in front of the villain. The bad person, due to their evil intentions, ended up losing their life. This tells us that there are no ghosts or monsters in the world, only foolish people believe in them.
