Her enemy mocked her and continued to throw stones into the water, which pressed down on her body and restricted her movements.
Not only did Zhou Lan almost turn into ashes, but she was unable to leave the well anymore.
She returned to her previous muddle state and floated in the cold water, thinking about who she was.
A few years later, a college student came to Zhao village to be a village official.
The young village official that the government assigned was called Liu Mei [her name means “beautiful”], but she was not beautiful at all. Her skin was dark, and she had a scar on her face. She was fat and short.
However, she worked very hard for the village. It did not take long before the village recognized her contributions.
Liu Mei, the village official, not only taught the villagers how to open up channels to sell their goods, but she also took care of the lonely elderly people in the village.
Liu Mei lived by the well and would often come to the well when she was free.
Liu Mei stayed in the village for ten years. Ten years later, she became a full-blown village woman. No one remembered that she was once a university student from another city.
Liu Mei even hooked up with a man who was in charge of the granary in the village and was getting ready to get married.
It wasn’t until Zhou Lan regained consciousness that she heard the village official, Liu Mei, who was already in her thirties, call out softly at the mouth of the well, “Mom.”
On a full moon night, Zhou Lan finally had the strength to come out of the well and reunite with her family.
She was in Liu Mei’s body, watching how she dealt with the man and how she poured poison that she prepared into the grain that the entire village was going to eat.
Unfortunately, the grain turned moldy. Other than one unlucky person, no one else ate the gift that they meticulously prepared.
However, her death gave Zhou Lan a lot of strength. She was even able to talk to Liu Mei in her consciousness.
“How did you know that I was here?”
“Mom, it took me six years to receive that letter.”
“Why didn’t your father come?”
“He went out to look for you and never came back.”
Thus, Zhou Lan did not say anything else.
Then, she watched Liu Mei torture and kill someone’s wife.
At that time, Liu Mei had great strength, and she vented her hatred like a ghost.
Liu Mei said, “Doesn’t she know how disgusting the people in this village are? She still married here and bore children for those disgusting people. She deserved to die!”
They firmly believed that as long as they killed enough people, they would grow stronger. One day, they would take their revenge.
Then, Zhou Lan watched Liu Mei kill an old man.
Liu Mei said, “Since he knew all about the evil deeds in the past, why didn’t he go to the police? How could he live in peace in this village?”
During the day, Liu Mei still brought eggs while she visited these lonely old men.
Then, when Liu Mei attempted to strangle an old man who was lured outside, they saw a person suddenly appear.
Not only could this person see through their disguise, but she also had a lot more power than them.
Liu Mei was so scared that she turned around and ran, using almost all her strength.
When she noticed that a ghost was chasing behind, Zhou Lan asked, “Why don’t we ask her to help us? She doesn’t seem like a bad person.”
But Liu Mei shook her head and said, “No, Mom. The current world won’t allow us to kill people.”
To escape, Zhou Lan dumped all of her evil energy into the well and then hid in Liu Mei’s consciousness.
Sure enough, that person didn’t find Liu Mei but targeted the village chief instead.
After watching that person attack the village chief, Liu Mei quickly chased away the others and then devised a new plan.
When Zhou Lan retrieved her evil energy from the well and came out of Liu Mei’s consciousness, she would act as a distraction and lure Yun Qin to the farthest part of the village, which was also the furthest that Zhou Lan could move, while Liu Mei executed her plan.
At this time, Liu Mei would replace Zhou Lan and carry out their revenge.
“You!”
Yun Qin’s breathing stopped for a moment. Then, she felt the reminder that Zhou Lan’s wishes came true. From then on, Zhou Lan would listen to her orders and be completely under her control.
On the way to Secretary Liu’s house, Yun Qin’s mind kept repeating Zhao Hua’s words, “Some people are more terrifying than ghosts.”

Some people are more terrifying than ghosts.
Zhou Lan followed behind her and glanced around. There was no longer any gloomy aura in her eyes. Instead, her gaze was scattered.
“Have you ever thought about how innocent the lives that you took were?”
Zhou Lan shook her head.
When she rushed to Secretary Liu’s house, it was still too late.
Yun Qin covered her nose and entered the house. She saw the village chief dead in the middle of the courtyard. His limbs were scattered and broken. His eyes were wide open.
Blood flowed all over the ground, mixed with other bodily fluids.. A nauseating smell emitted throughout the yard.
