“Hello, this is Zhongzheng Street Police Station, how can I help you?”

“…………”

“Hello? May I help you with something?”

“Are you in a situation where you are not comfortable speaking?”

  ”…… No, no, I, I have some problems, I have to call the police, you save me, you must save me, ooooh, I’m so scared! You must help me!”

  ”Lady, what is your exact address? “

  ”My home in the Zhongzheng Street Fuchun district here, Entrance 3, No. 72, please come quickly, come quickly, otherwise it will be late!

  ”Okay, we have sent the nearest colleague to rush there, lady, you first calm down, pay attention to protect yourself, please stay on the line with us, Can we ask, what has happened to you? Was it a robber, or someone else who threatened your safety?”

  ”No, not a person, I …… oooh, officer, I, I met something supernatural, I really didn’t mean to mess with it, it just followed me to death.”

  ”Supernatural? Lady, please calm down.”

  ”Don’t worry, our colleagues have rushed there, according to science, there is no ghost, it may be that you are not in a good mood recently, some overthinking.”

  ”…… No, that’s, it’s something supernatural, it’s a pair of red embroidered shoes.”

  ”Red embroidered shoes?”

  ”Well, yes, red, red embroidered shoes, the kind of ancient times, three inches golden lotus shoes, I am a folk designer, to some stores who design some niche clothing accessories. Some while ago there is little inspiration, nothing can I draw, went to Jiangnan to travel for a break, in a small store I stumbled across that pair of shoes, it is really beautiful, yes, that is, just like a work of art, the gold embroidery on the top makes people gaze with fixating eyes …… really too beautiful ……”

  ”Ma’am?”

  ”Ah, I’m sorry, I’m doing it again, whoops, I, I almost seem to be spellbound.”

  ”It’s okay, you just said, red embroidered shoes?”

  ”Yes, red embroidered shoes, that’s it, having bought the shoes back, I was overwhelmed by inspiration, the same day I designed two new styles, now in Taobao they are hot-selling. Because according to the contract, when the amount sold was more than the target, they would give me a commission, so I was very happy. I drank a little wine, and then dreamed, dreamed, oooooh ……”

  ”Madam you can stop remembering and calm down, my colleague has headed to your place.”

  ”No, no, I’m going to go on.”

  ”I was dreaming of a woman, no, a female ghost, just looking at me so straightly, her black hair draped over her back was still dripping. She dressed all in red, with those red embroidered shoes on her feet, she…, she just stared at me without uttering a word. When waking up the next day, I did not take it seriously, just considered it a nightmare. However, I dreamed of her again the next day, and she was leaning even closer to me ……”

  ”How close is it?”

  ”At first it was five meters, then three meters, and a while ago, it was almost right up against my face, can you imagine? I could see her eyes, I could see water dripping down from her hair, and I could see speckles on her face, they were corpse spots, corpse spots, and she was dead! Dead! I woke up with a panic attack. I got out of bed to get some water, but I saw the red embroidered shoes, right at the bedside, with the tip directed at my bed.”

  ”The shoes were placed beside, facing the bed, the ghost was going to bed, she’s out to get me, she’s out to get me.”

  ”I left it in the studio and it came by itself!”

  ”…… Madam, madam? Please calm down, you probably put it there by accident and then forgot about it yourself.”

  ”I forgot, it’s impossible, yes, that day, it seems that there are no slippers, Might it be that I have worn them and taken them off there?”

  ”So what did you do with the shoes?”

  ”Deal with it? I burned it, the old people said that with fire we can get rid of something supernatural, and it would not dare to come again, and I would be safe for several days. However, just now there was a knock on the door.

  I thought it was a takeaway server that arrived, but I couldn’t see anyone, and I just saw those shoes lying in the doorway, and the floor was wet.”

  ”It’s her, she’s back, she’s coming for me! Policemen,  you guys come quickly, why not come, oooooh …… me, I heard the door open, she’s coming, she’s coming in!”

  ”Calm down lady, my colleague has already gone upstairs, please keep yourself safe, where are you now? My colleague came in and will take you out of there.”

  ”I’m hiding in the closet behind the curtains in the inner room, come quickly.”

  ”………”

  ”Officer?”

  ”………”

  ”………… So, here you are.”

  The change in tone of the voice coming over the phone made the woman’s face turn pale.

   Zee ………

  The closet door slowly opened.

  Outside, there were a pair of small red embroidered shoes with gold tracing, dripping around dripping water.

  ”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

  …………………..

  ”Duh, duh, duh ……”

  ”Hello, this is Zhongzheng Street Police Station, how can I help you?”

  ”………”

  ”Hello? May I help you with something?”

    “Are you in a situation where you are not comfortable speaking?”

  The male police officer who answered the phone frowned slightly, they are all male in this police station, and there is not even a single female colleague, he turned his head to look around at his colleagues to give a hint.

  ”No one is talking, the signal seems to be jammed.”

  ”Send someone to take a look, things happened more often recently, it doesn’t take much effort to take a look.”

  ”Well, find out where the owner of the phone number lives.”

  ”Good.”

   “Check it out.”

  ”Where?”

  ”No. 72, Unit 3, Fuchun District.”

  ………………

          The police found the landlord, took the key to open the deadlocked door, and a group of people ran into the house.

  They yelled but no one answered, called, after a while a female ringing voice was heard.

  ”The eighteenth day of the first month is the wedding month of the deceased, on that auspicious day, they lifted the stick of the sorghum plant to expel evil spirits.”

  ”Lifting the corpse of a woman in the red wedding gown, who died in hatred for she had to marry the one who had caused her death, the red gown was sewn in such a hurry that she could wear it before her body decayed, ……”

   The music is inexplicably a bit gloomy.

  A group of police officers ran inside, and then all were dumbfounded, on the mahogany round stool, sat a woman dressed in red, it is the owner of the house, a head of black hair was draping over her back, her hands folded on the belly, her hard feet was wearing three-inch golden lotus red embroidered shoes, constantly bleeding out.

  Plink, plink, plink.

   Water was dripping down from her dark hair.

  ………………

  Clang!

  Wei Yuan listened to the sirens outside, conveniently he piled things up to the side, and exhaled.

      “It’s done.”

  This is where the elderly man of her family lived, and next door is the Fuchun neighborhood

      And there was a downtown area adjacent to it. When there was a plan to resettle the occupants to demolish this place, they were looking forward to obtaining some money for compensation. Unfortunately, a line was drawn on the street next to their residence, on a small alley apart, determining the border of their demolition project.  People would be able to see the contrast between the life of those who moved away when comparing them to the life of the folks holding the bowls and squatting at the door to eat with their neighbors. This made the old man very angry.

  After getting older, he went to live with Wei Yuan’s eldest uncle, who died two years ago and led a peaceful life.

  Since Wei Yuan, the junior, returned to Quanzhou City to find a job, his eldest uncle had given him the key.

  It’s okay to stay temporarily until you find a job, and it’s okay to stay forever.

   Anyway, it is a small bungalow, the place is not big, but the old man who had experienced living in poverty, would keep things rather than give them away. Wei Yuan felt pain in his back as he was cleaning the bungalow. When he was cleaning up the things, he found a few ancient coins, an old waist medal made of bronze, and a few out-of-print old books.

  Not worth a few dollars, but they were just worth collecting.

  Wei Yuan casually fiddled with those things and prepared to take a shower.

   When he turned around and looked outside, he saw the police car was leaving, there was a sudden clunk coming from behind, Wei Yuan vaguely seemed to hear a low tiger’s roar, as if it was provoked and getting angered, or it made an alert sound when hearing the sound of intrusion, Wei Yuan turned his head, there was nothing.

  The waist medal placed on the side seemed to have changed position.

   Consequently, the side with the tiger’s head swallowing the card was revealed.

  Wei Yuan was somewhat curious and he observed the bronze token.

  Could it be that he accidentally reversed it?

    Pick up the waistband and examine it carefully.

  It is not known whether it was written in official or seal script, the few words were: The gentleman, Sili Lieutenant, and on the back is a big character, Wei, which seems to be something of a few years old, the waist medal was somewhat blackened, and he observed it, there was a bit like a deep red, like dried blood.

   Wei, is it the ancestral stuff?

   Wei Yuan’s heart filled with suspicion, ready to put down when he felt a bit of pain in his finger a pain, fingertips seem to be somehow pierced, and a drop of crimson blood was dripping, fell on top of the waistband medal, because of the pain he subconsciously loosened his grip, the waist medal dropped on the draft paper on the table.

      It was obvious to him that there was an ordinary draft paper before, but there are lines of harsh words that emerged naturally.

  There was chaos, the calamity of witchcraft, and the state was stained by the evil spirits, where the gentleman to the Sili Lieutenant belongs to.

  Those who commit crimes against our state, although the strange forces and evil spirits, will be apprehended and killed.

   Wei Yuan’s eyes were lost in thought, subconsciously reached out to pick up this wanted order, but as if burned by the flame, boundless stinging pain, fiercely withdrew his hand, a pair of red embroidered shoes emerged next to the text, demonic but real, just like a wanted order.
