The Unexplained Real Supernatural Event in China - Part Six
Story One: I have a cousin who was a police officer, and at that time, all police officers carried guns, specifically the Type 54 pistol. He worked in the county but lived in a rural area. So, he would visit home every weekend. One summer night, late in the evening, he was riding his bicycle back home from a neighboring village where he had some work. Since he was a police officer, he had courage, even in the dark rural roads with no streetlights, flanked by tall crops and the eerie sounds of insects.

At the end of the year, landowners would host a good meal for their laborers, paying them their annual wages or grain. The laborers would then return home for the New Year festivities and come back to work in the fields in the spring.
