Cursed Shoes: Erhua’s Haunted Week
Erhua was a girl who loved beauty more than anything. One day, while picking wild vegetables by the roadside, she spotted a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes. Seeing no one around, she decided to take them for herself. But as soon as she carried the shoes away, she unwittingly wandered into a graveyard—where terrifying things began to happen. When she and her friend Dazhu returned home, her grandfather was horrified upon seeing the shoes and sternly demanded she throw them away. Dazhu dragged Erhua to dispose of them, but she snatched the shoes back and secretly hid them in her room. The next morning, something sinister occurred—Erhua woke up to find herself dressed in funeral makeup. Realizing the danger, her grandfather ordered Dazhu to bury the shoes at the graveyard. But at the gravesite, another wave of horrors unfolded. A deranged old woman suddenly wailed, screaming that ""someone has come to marry Erhua!"" Panicked, Dazhu pulled Erhua away and fled home. That night, Erhua dreamed of a figure in funeral robes arriving to wed her. She jolted awake—only to find the buried embroidered shoes back on her feet. As a last resort, her grandfather told Dazhu to burn the shoes. But as Dazhu prepared the fire, the madwoman appeared, babbling incoherently before running off. The two chased her to an ancient mansion, only to discover it was a funeral hall. The old woman’s eerie voice echoed again, sending them fleeing in terror. That same night, the madwoman abducted Erhua and forced her into a wedding ceremony—with a paper effigy as the groom. Just as the ritual reached its peak, Dazhu burst in and rescued her. Calming the old woman, they learned the truth: she was a grieving mother who had lost her child. With the village chief’s help, she was sent to a nursing home. The nightmare finally ended, leaving Erhua with a hard lesson: never again would she covet abandoned things by the roadside.
