But by the time I caught up, my body was long gone.

”He's on top of me, but he can still run so fast. Is he a ghost?!” I thought, ”That's right, normal people, even if they die, they wouldn't know they're dead. They would just run when they see a ghost. That woman just now was a bit ferocious. She thought I was a ghost and even sent my soul flying with a slap.”

I looked around, wondering where I was going.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of me. I immediately went forward to greet him. It was two men who were currently discussing the matter of playing mahjong.

I ran in front of them and immediately asked, ”Big brother, did you just see a handsome guy with his hands hanging by his chin?”

But they ignored me because they couldn't see me.

One of the scrawny men stopped and shouted towards the back, ”Chop! Hurry up!”

Then a wolfhound ran over, and when it saw me, it growled and its fur exploded.

”What are you screaming for?” the thin man scolded.

The wolfdog ignored me and I slowly retreated. After pushing away for a distance, I ran. The wolfhound also chased over. The heck, what day is it today? First, I was beaten half disabled by Tang Le and then my soul was smacked away by a spirit of unknown origin. Now, I still have to be chased by the dog. A tiger being bullied by a dog!

When the wolfdog was about to bite me, there was a huge tree in front of me. I climbed up the tree branch without saying anything and waved my hand. ”Come on, Little Blast! I'll remember you. I'll eat your toothpick tomorrow!”

The wolfdog barked non-stop. I wasn't afraid of it, so I scolded it.

Suddenly, the wolfhound lost its temper and ran away with its head held high, its voice low.

”Scared! ”Fool's brush!” I sat on a tree and a drop of rain fell on me.

I touched it. It was sticky, but that's not right. I'm in a yin body right now, so the water couldn't possibly fall on me.

I raised my head and saw a monster slowly crawling towards me. It had a large head and a large mouth. ”His body, on the other hand, was like a monkey's. He was petite and nimble.

”Great!”

When I was young, I liked to hear my grandfather call it a ghost story. He once told me about the ”Great”, which was a negative monster that lived on a tree. In the wilderness, it would harm a lone passerby, but in a place where there were people living, he would not easily harm anyone. He would spend his life guarding that tree, sharing his life with that tree. ”Some of the older trees are very intelligent because of the large ones on them. If you cut them down, they will be used to carve statues and such. The large trees still have a good end.

But there were exceptions, and Pappy said that there were evil creatures that devoured the souls of babies and young children that passed under the trees in the evening.

”You won't like my body full of old cured meat.” Laughing, I slowly climbed down.

Fortunately, the tree didn't eat me, probably just because I disturbed his rest. Perhaps he was puzzled as well. A soul that didn't know what was good for it had actually come to his territory.

I continued to wander the village, looking for my body. Slowly, as the sky was about to brighten, a voice suddenly said, ”Hey, it's almost dawn. Come to my room and squeeze!”

I turned around and saw a beggar dressed in slovenly clothes, beckoning to me.

”No need.” I went back.

”We're both people who have fallen to the ends of the earth. Why are you being so courteous?” There was no fixed volume, and he pulled me into a beer bottle under a green brick.

”Thank you!” I said.

”Are you new here?” You look very unfamiliar! ” The beggar said.

I don't know how to get him back. I think about how to get my body back. The beggar did not say anything else and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun had already risen outside. I suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

The beggar heard what I said and comforted me, ”Don't be afraid. My place is very safe. No one picks up this beer bottle and it is pressed down by a stone. Not even children can find it.”

A child's voice from outside said, ”Can this brick do?”

The brick was removed and the sun came in. Both of us were burning.

”It's fine, it's fine. This dark beer can absorb most of the light.” The beggar said again.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard another voice say, ”That turn of head is too big, no!”

”Oh!” The child brought the brick back and the beer bottle broke with a crack.

The beggar and I, exposed to the sun, felt as if our bodies were on fire, and hid in the corner.
