This chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter. In this chapter, Cai tells his mother that he has returned to the mainland. He tells her that he hopes that the evil girl will die in the forest and that the pigs will starve to death when she returns. Cai also tells his mom that he wishes that the girl had not buried him so that his corpse would not have been eaten by beasts. She tells him that she hopes that she will go back to hell and that Cai will haunt her if he dies. Cai tells her to kick the villagers out of the house and to hire a servant to do the housework.
