Family Vengeance Ghost

When I was young, I heard the elders speak of an incident in our village. There was a family with the surname Lu, who had a daughter. While she wasn't considered a great beauty, she was still quite pretty. If it hadn't been for a certain event, she could have lived a happy life. But she couldn't find her happiness. Lu Ying had a good friend named Guo Ling; they were as close as sisters. As time passed, both reached the age for marriage. Lu Ying looked down on the village's men of her age as none were ambitious, and she felt she and her parents would never have a better life, so she didn't regard them highly.

Family Vengeance Ghost

When I was young, I heard the elders speak of an incident in our village. There was a family with the surname Lu, who had a daughter. While she wasn't considered a great beauty, she was still quite pretty. If it hadn't been for a certain event, she could have lived a happy life. But she couldn't find her happiness. Lu Ying had a good friend named Guo Ling; they were as close as sisters. As time passed, both reached the age for marriage. Lu Ying looked down on the village's men of her age as none were ambitious, and she felt she and her parents would never have a better life, so she didn't regard them highly. Her friend Guo Ling brought back a boyfriend from the city named Chen Haoyan. Their relationship was good, and every day, seeing Guo Ling and her boyfriend Chen Haoyan being affectionate, Lu Ying felt somewhat lost. Sometimes, when Guo Ling and Haoyan visited Lu Ying's home to hang out or go camping, she would deliberately avoid being with them. Eventually, Guo Ling felt that her relationship with Lu Han wasn't as good as before, and so she decided to talk to Lu Ying about it. When she arrived at Lu Ying's home, she found Lu Ying drying corn in the courtyard. She pushed open the door and entered, calling out gently. "Hey, Xiaolin, why are you here? Is your family well?" Lu Ying asked with a smile. "They went to the city to shop. I came to find you."

Guo Ling said seriously, "What's wrong, Xiaoling? Did you have a fight with Haoyan? Or did someone bully you?" Lu Ying looked at Guo Ling's serious face and replied, "No fights, no bullying. I just wanted to ask if we are still good friends?" Guo Ling affirmed, "Of course, we've always been good friends. Why do you suddenly ask?" Lu Ying found it odd and asked why Guo Ling was distancing herself from her suddenly. Whenever she came to visit, Lu Ying seemed reluctant to go out with them. "Aren't you supposed to be accompanying Haoyan? I can't stick with you every day; you need time to be with Haoyan and get along well," Guo Ling said, holding Lu Ying's hand. Lu Ying argued that they had plenty of time to be together and that short separations wouldn't affect their relationship. Moreover, Guo Ling was her only close friend, and she didn't want them to drift apart. Guo Ling pouted and grasped Lu Han's shoulder, admitting that she was wrong and asking Lu Ying not to be angry. Lu Ying playfully insisted, and they agreed to have dinner at Lu Ying's home, although Guo Ling hesitated before accepting.

After dinner at Guo Ling's home, Lu Ying and Guo Ling chatted in the living room. As it got late, Lu Ying told Guo Ling that she should head home to avoid worrying her parents. Guo Ling agreed and said she would visit Lu Ying another time. After Lu Ying left, Guo Ling felt uneasy, fearing that her fiancé, Haoyan, might follow Lu Ying. But when Guo Ling was walking past the historical cemetery, she saw a person around her age sitting there. She approached and asked why they hadn't gone home so late. The person joked that they lived there, pointing to the martyr's cemetery. Lu Ying thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. After chatting with the person for a while, Lu Ying learned his name was Meng Zihan. It was almost 11 PM, and Lu Ying realized she needed to go home to avoid her parents' worry. Meng Zihan asked for her name and if they could meet again. Lu Ying, blushing, hurried home, unaware that Chen Haoyan had been watching her from a distance, feeling unsettled by the scene.

Chen Haoyan later told Guo Ling everything, suggesting they might have encountered a ghost. They discussed whether the ghost might harm Lu Ying. Chen Haoyan suggested informing Lu Ying's parents. Guo Ting thought they should observe first and seek help from her brother, who was more knowledgeable about such matters. They hoped her brother could help Lu Ying escape the predicament and prevent the ghost from harming her. The next day, while Guo Ling and Chen Haoyan were preparing to eat, they heard a knock at the door. Guo Ling opened it to find a stranger, who introduced himself as Chen Haoyu. Guo Ling, realizing her mistake for not recognizing him, apologized, and they waited for Chen Haoyu, hoping he could resolve the situation.

Please note that due to the original text having inconsistencies and possible errors (e.g., character names changing, unclear references), the English translation may reflect these issues while aiming to preserve the overall meaning and narrative of the story.It feels like an eternity has passed in just a day, Chen Haoyan said with a smile. "Well, you're all grown up and still only care about eating?" I'm starving, Chen Haoyu said while rubbing his stomach. "There is food, we can start eating now. I'll go get the bowls," said Chen Haoyan. "I'll go. You can take this chance to tell Haoyu about last night's events," Guo Lin said. "Okay, sure," Chen Haoyu replied.Haoyu, you go ahead and start, said Chen Haoyan as she walked into the kitchen. Chen Haoyu and Chen Haoyan sat down at the dining table. Chen Haoyan recounted last night's events to Chen Haoyu Ting. "Let's just observe for now. If that person is still recording the sun, don't blame me for not tolerating him," said Chen Haoyu. "Alright, we'll hold off for now," Chen Haoyan replied, while the recording lay in her own room. Thinking back to last night, it was surprising that someone named Meng Zihan shared the same hobby as her. She wondered if that person would like her recordings and was startled by the thought. Could it be that she had fallen for her? But if she didn't like him, why couldn't she stop thinking about him after just one meeting?As dusk approached, the recording looked out the window. She could sneak out when her parents weren't looking, or find an excuse to go to Guo Ling's house. Just the thought made her happy because of the name. She would soon see Meng Zihan. Chen Haoyan and her brother discussed the best approach to observe the meeting between the recording and the ghost. They were just waiting for the meeting to happen. If the ghost tried to make her record something, they could intervene in time to prevent the ghost from hurting her. After dark, they were well hidden in their spot, and then the recording appeared. They had been waiting for almost an hour for the ghost to show up, but when they were about to give up and leave, Meng Zihan looked at the recording's retreating figure and softly called out, "Are you leaving, Recording?""Yes, who's calling me? Brother, did you come? I thought you weren't coming," said the master happily. "Why wouldn't I? I have something I want to tell you, but please don't be angry after I say it, okay?" Meng Zihan said carefully. "Go ahead, I won't be angry," said Lu Ying. "Xiao Ying, I like you. Would you be my girlfriend?" Meng Zihan asked. "Brother Han, although I like you too, we don't know each other very well. Can we spend some time together first? If it works out, I will definitely agree to be your girlfriend. If not, please don't force me," Lu Ying replied. "Okay, I believe you will agree," Meng Zihan said. Although Recording didn't immediately accept Meng Zihan's proposal, she was already overjoyed, knowing that Meng Zihan liked her was enough. She hoped to use this time to get to know each other better to avoid unnecessary troubles.Chen Haoyan and the others had waited a long time, and the male ghost didn't do anything to harm the recording. They quietly returned home from their hiding spot, feeling somewhat dejected. "I thought we'd take care of that ghost tonight, but she didn't do anything too terrible," Guo Lin said with relief. "Every coin has two sides, Lin. There are good ghosts and bad ghosts," Chen Haoyan said, comforting Guo Lin by stroking her hair. "It seems you might have made a wasted trip this time, Brother Haoyu," Guo Lin said. "Heh, things are not as simple as you think. That ghost seemed to have a lot of resentment; something must have happened to him while he was alive. There must be a significant connection with his family," Chen Haoyu said worriedly. "What should we do then?" Guo Lin asked, gripping Chen Haoyan's hand tightly. "If things get out of hand, I'll have to call my master to help. For now, we can only take it one step at a time," Chen Haoyu sighed.Hearing this, Guo Lin felt a mix of emotions. Her only concern was that Lu Yi might get in deeper and deeper. It didn't matter if the ghost was hurt; after all, it was just their recording. But becoming obsessed could be dangerous. She could only pray that Recording would get through this challenge. After selling the news of Chen Haoyan's engagement, they temporarily forgot about Recording's situation. That afternoon, as Guo Lin, Chen Haoyu, and Chen Haoyan were busy preparing for the engagement, they were suddenly interrupted by a very pale and weak-looking Lu Yan entering the room. "Lin, you've got to take care of yourself. You look terrible," Guo Lin exclaimed in shock, seeing Lu Yan's pale face and listless walk. "Lin, what's happened to you? You've changed so much in just a few days. You need to be more careful," said the worker beside the bed. "Lin, I'm afraid I've encountered something unclean," Recording cried. "What happened? Tell me quickly, maybe I can help you come up with a solution," Guo Lin said, patting Recording on the shoulder."I fell for someone recently. We got along well, shared many common interests and dislikes. The next night, I went to see her, and she confessed to me. I didn't want to agree so quickly, so I told her we should spend some time together first. If it works out, we'll be together; if not, we can just be friends. But after I agreed to be his girlfriend, he asked me to do things I couldn't do," Recording sobbed. "What did he ask you to do?" Guo Lin asked, distressed. "He asked me to drink a black liquid and to kill my parents to be with him forever. He said if I couldn't do it, he would take care of it one by one. Moreover, I've been feeling unwell lately, and I don't know if it's because of his kiss," Lu Ying said. "What? He did what?" Guo Lin and the Chen brothers exclaimed simultaneously. "Yes, what's wrong?" Lu Ying looked at them puzzled. "We're in trouble. He has started to act. I've been so busy with Lin's and Haoyan's affairs that I almost forgot about this," Chen Haoyu said, annoyed. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Guo Lin asked, confused.With a bewildered gaze, Lu Ying watched as Guo Lin and the others, not understanding what exactly had happened. "Xiaoying, listen to me, the person you like is not human. That night after you left my place, Hou Yan followed you. When he saw that person—or rather, that ghost—he realized it wasn't just an ordinary person. A normal person wouldn't be completely devoid of color," Guo Lin said, holding Lu Han's hand. "It's a pity, but why would he come after me?" Guo Ling asked, puzzled.

"We don't really know why he's targeted you specifically, only she herself may know," Chen Haoyu said. Lu Ying stopped talking, not even knowing how she managed to get home. After she got home, she fell ill for several days, and by the time she woke up, a week had passed. Upon opening her eyes, she saw her new mother sitting beside her, wiping away tears, while her father sat on a chair, smoking. She realized that her parents must have learned about the incident. "I'm sorry," Lu Ying said, her tears falling despite herself. "Child, this is not your fault. Mom and Dad are sorry for letting you down," Lu Ying's mother said. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

"We won't let anything happen to you," Lu Han said. After the conversation, Lu Ying asked, "Do you guys know something?" "Child, it's better that you don't know about this matter. It's not good for you," Lu Han and Yang Yang then got up and left. The girl followed them out. Lu Ying walked to the window and stopped, hearing her mother loudly tell her father, "Lu Han, just tell the child. She'll have to know sooner or later." "We'll talk about it later," Lu Han sighed. Lu Ying was certain her parents were hiding something from her, and she was determined to find out why that evil spirit was haunting her.

After changing her clothes, Lu Ying went to Guo Ling's house. In Guo Ling's room, she shared with Guo Lin and Chen Haoyu what her parents had discussed. "Do you suspect that your parents are keeping something from you?" Chen Haoyu said. "I feel there's some connection between this ghost encounter and you," Lu Ying mused. "What exactly happened between them and that ghost? And why is the ghost fixated on Lu Ying?" They all fell into a silence. No one knew the connection between Lu Ying's parents and the ghost. All they could do now was wait for the ghost's next move to respond appropriately.

Chen Haoyu gave Lu Ying a protective amulet to delay the ghost, in case of emergency. That night, as Lu Ying lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, she turned towards the door and saw Meng Zihan's pale face and eyes staring back at her. "Meng Zihan, even as a ghost you can't change your twisted and perverted mentality. If you hadn't gone too far, thinking all women belonged to you, harassing girls everywhere—if only you had focused on your work and treated women well—Li Han wouldn't have chosen me. Let go of the child!" Lu Ying said angrily. "So what if I'm dead? I will make your family pay for what happened 25 years ago. I'll take your daughter down to hell with me," Meng Zihan sneered, choking Lu Ying.

Just then, Lu Ying's mother, who was no longer by Lu Han's side, screamed, looking at Meng Zihan. He clenched his fists tightly, realizing he couldn't do anything. "Do you know why I chose Lu Han instead of you?" Li Han said calmly as she walked in. "Xi'an, why did you choose him and not me? What can he give you?" Meng Zihan demanded loudly. "He can give me a peaceful home, a well-behaved daughter. I feel safe with her, and at least she can give me what you can't," Li Han said, looking at Lu Han. "But my love for you is no less than his," Meng Zihan retorted. "Your love is twisted; I don't want it and can't afford it. The warm love that Lu Han gives me is what I want, and you'll never understand that feeling. You couldn't accept that I was with Lu Han, so you killed yourself. I know you've tried to take Lu Han's life several times. Did you think I wouldn't be prepared?"

With that, Meng Zihan lunged at Lu Ying, intending to drag her to hell. However, Chen Haoyu and Guo Lin intervened just in time. "It was us who hurt you," Chen Haoyu and his junior Han Zifei stepped in. Meng Zihan, enraged, attacked them. Chen Haoyu hadn't expected the ghost to be so strong; he almost lost his life several times. But when Meng Zihan couldn't defeat Chen Haoyu and Han Zifei, he turned to Lu Ying. Without thinking, Chen Haoyu threw himself in front of Lu Ying, taking the blow and passing out, while Meng Zihan was finally defeated by Han Zifei.

When Chen Haoyu woke up, he found himself in bed with Lu Ying asleep beside him. Understanding that Meng Zihan's ghost would no longer appear, he got up to drink some water. Upon seeing him, Lu Ying awoke. "Haoyu brother, you're awake. Do you want some water?" she asked with a smile."You wait for me to serve you well, thank you for responding," Chen Haoyu said, "Why thank you, I haven't thanked you for saving me yet?" Lu Ying smiled and passed the account's water to Chen Haoyu. After Chen Haoyu played with the water, Lu Ying looked at Chen Haoyu and asked, "Haoyu brother, do you have a girlfriend?" "Yes, why?" Chen Haoyu had actually fallen for photography two months ago when he first came here, but he had been busy with Meng Zihan's matters and thus never had the chance to tell Lu Ying.

When Cai Luying asked himself if he had a girlfriend? Decide to wait and see, huh? "Do you love her a lot?" Lu Ying overheard that Chen Haoyu had a girlfriend and he really hoped that was the case. "Yes, I love her very much, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen," Chen Haoyu hadn't finished speaking when Lu Ying suddenly stood up, "I know, I'm sorry for bothering you, I'll leave first," and she ran out forcefully. She desperately tried to hold back her tears, but the tears still uncontrollably flowed down. "Sigh, Xiaoying, I am the current Chen Haoyu, it's hard for me to do nothing, right? We're recording, if you have a girlfriend, you have a girlfriend, if you have a girlfriend, you have a girlfriend, now it's six."

After causing a run, Chen Haoyu changed his clothes and chased after the direction Lu Ying ran away. On the way, he met Chen Haoyan and Guo Lin. "Xiaolin, do you find Lu Ying annoying? Have you seen her?" Chen Haoyu asked in a complicated way. "No brother, what happened?" Chen Haoyan said. "I made Lu Ying run away," Chen Haoyu said. "It's getting dark, I hope nothing happens, Haoyu brother, tell us what happened just now." "Hmm, let's walk and talk," Chen Haoyu said. Chen Haoyan and Guo Lin nodded, listening to Chen Haoyu as they walked. Suddenly, Chen Haoyan stopped and said, "I don't know where he went, let's go to 15."

"Hmm, is it me? How do I not know there's a Wu Chen Haoyan?" Then he said, "I'll tell you later, now let's go find Lu Ying." Chen Haoyu and Chen Haoyan silently followed behind Guo Lin. When they arrived under the tree house, the three of them climbed up to the tree house and saw Lu Ying lying on the bed asleep. Chen Haoyu sat down beside the bed, looking at Lu Ying's tear-stained face, and he slapped himself hard. Lu Ying felt the bed move, woke up, saw Guo Lin and the two brothers Chen Haoyu, didn't say a word, put on his shoes, stood on the stool without a word, and ignored everyone else. Chen Haoyu went over and held Lu Ying's hand.

"I'm sorry, I was just teasing you just now. The person I really like has always been you. Can you not ignore me? It's not good, I'm easy to deceive, right? You're all liars," and he said hiding, "Yes, yes, we're all liars. Let's go back, okay?" Chen Haoyu looked like a child who had done wrong, looking at Lu Ying. "Lu Ying, come back with us. After the teacher's brother's injury is healed, we will help you punish him." Standing at the door, "Let me go back too, but there's a condition." "What condition?" Chen Haoyu said, "Come with me." Chen Haoyu and his group followed Lu Ying to the riverside.

Lu Ying looked at the water in the river. The camp was a thick island standing on the edge of the wooden bridge. As soon as Chen Haoyu walked to the edge of the wooden bridge and was not yet stable, he was kicked into the river by the green camp. Not long after, Chen Hao and the climbing ivy wall walked to the front of the camp and said, "Lu Ying, I have always liked you, it's just that I've been busy with Wang Zihan's matters, so I didn't have time to tell you. I like you and want you to be my girlfriend. The meat dish is just waiting for you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Lu Ying reacted and Chen Haoyu happily embraced Lu Ying in his arms and secretly swore that he would always make Lu Ying happy.
