Causing Uncle Jiu to be suspicious, he transported the coffin to his former Yizhuang. Later, old lady Ren's body turned into a zombie, and he killed old master Ren, and Uncle Nine thought that Tingting was in danger and took her into his house. The two apprentices of the Ninth Uncle, Wencai, Qiu sheng admired Tingting, and because of this, they quarreled with Ting's cousin. One night, Wen Cai was injured by a zombie in order to protect Ting, and was poisoned by the corpse, so that he slowly became a zombie, fortunately the corpse poison could be solved by glutinous rice, but Wen Cai ate the glutinous rice used to remove the corpse poison contained other miscellaneous rice, so it was ineffective. On the other hand, Qiu Sheng was also fascinated by the female ghost Xiaoyu, and was fortunately rescued by Uncle Jiu, who also found that there was miscellaneous rice in glutinous rice, so he selected glutinous rice into glutinous rice porridge and saved Wencai. Because the zombies kill people one after another, causing a fierce surge of emotions, so the headhunter, Uncle Jiu, WenCai, Qiu Sheng and Tingting joined forces to eliminate the zombies.
