00:00The man was shocked to discover that his grandfather, over 80 years old,
00:03was receiving different women at his house every night, seeing their slender figures.
00:08The man couldn't help but praise his grandfather's good health.
00:11However, upon hearing his words, the grandfather felt offended and, in a fit of anger, left home.
00:17Before leaving, he handed the man the management of the inherited medicine shop
00:20and told him to use his free time to study the medical books in it.
00:23But he warned him never to touch the manual of ghost extermination.
00:26After saying this, the grandfather left without looking back.
00:30Bored, the man decided to pass the time by skimming through a medical book.
00:33But when he stumbled against a bookshelf, a hidden gap caused the manual of ghost extermination to fall out.
00:39Driven by curiosity, the man opened it and read that whoever mastered the symbols
00:43must never destroy the dark scriptures, or they would bleed to death from the seven orifices of the body.
00:49Seeing this, the man dismissed it with disdain, thinking his grandfather was simply tricking him.
00:54Just then, he heard a soft female voice outside the house.
00:57When he went out, he saw that the speaker was the widow who lived on the west side of the
01:01village.
01:01When she asked about his grandfather, the man explained that he wasn't home.
01:04But the desperate widow grabbed his hand and begged for help.
01:07Looking closer, the man noticed a snake-shaped mark on her leg, exactly like the one described in the manual.
01:13He asked if she had been suffering from insomnia, strange dreams, and fatigue.
01:16The woman nodded, explaining that she also dreamed of being buried alive, with a child laughing at her from the
01:21hole.
01:21Shocked, the man realized her symptoms matched those in the manual, so he reluctantly agreed to help her.
01:27The widow then lifted her clothing, so he could examine the mark.
01:30After observing it, the man asked when the snake symbol had appeared.
01:33The widow thought for a moment, and recalled that a month earlier, her friend had given her a protective amulet.
01:38And from that moment, the strange marks began appearing on her body.
01:41The man realized it was a mother and child snake curse, used to avenge the death of a child.
01:46Alarmed, the widow asked what that meant.
01:48The man explained that her friend had bound her to the life of a child.
01:52Confused, the widow insisted that although she had grown up with her friend, neither of them had ever married.
01:57So she couldn't understand how the death of a child was involved.
02:00Calmly, the man revealed that the only way to break the curse was to use soil from the child's grave,
02:05and cinnabar powder to alter the symbol, to find the grave.
02:08The man took the widow to the cemetery.
02:10But since many nameless children were buried there, it was difficult to find the right one.
02:14Believing the widow should feel a connection with the child's grave, the man began searching with a lantern.
02:19When he returned, however, he noticed the widow had disappeared.
02:22Calling her name, he heard a strange sound in the distance.
02:25Following the noise, he found the widow at a grave, secretly eating offerings beside it all.
02:30Seeing this, the man realized something was wrong, and tried to take her back home.
02:34But the widow suddenly turned aggressive, revealing fangs and attacking him.
02:37He was about to die at her hands, when suddenly the sound of a rooster crowing echoed in the distance.
02:42At the rooster's call, the widow collapsed unconscious in his arms.
02:46When she awoke, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
02:48Her eyes turned toward the child's grave, afraid everything would repeat.
02:52The man quickly followed the manual's instructions, mixing soil with cinnabar, and applying the mixture onto the widow.
02:58But just as he was about to begin, a furious roar echoed from afar.
