Shadow

At night, the entire village was quiet. There were always sounds coming from the houses of families who raised chickens and ducks in the village. The animals were easily scared by the sounds of nature.

However, the animals in Qiao Mei's house were acting abnormally tonight. All the chickens and ducks kept looking in the direction of the back mountain. At first, they just looked, but later on, all the chickens and ducks started making noise.

Usually, even the sound of thunder would not wake Qiao Mei up. She would not even wake up if she was thrown out of the door. However, she was woken up by the noise made by the chickens and ducks at home tonight.

The cries of her family's chickens and ducks echoed throughout the entire village. Qiao Mei pushed open the curtains and looked out. She saw a figure walking through the grass at the back of the mountain. This time, she was not mistaken.
