บท 714: Paranoid Yu Dong

After the child was buried everyone returned home, because it was a solemn day no one in the village lit up their stoves to cook and stayed in their house to respect the death of a child who was killed at the hands of an elder. Small lore was handed to the villagers by their elders that a child who died an unjust death will come to knock on the doors of the villagers if they were to disrespect its passing.

Instead of lighting the stoves, the villagers instead lit lamps outside their houses in the belief that the child will be guided to the path of the underworld and would not feel scared. Of course, there was one house that did not participate and that house belonged to none other than Old Man Tong who stubbornly persisted that he had no oil to light a lamp for an entire night.
