Chapter 48: Haunted
Xin'er had been comforting herself in her heart that she had nothing to do with Zhou Tugen, and there was no need to be angry with this kind of person, just let those debt collectors be killed.
But who knew that after taking the vegetables and entering the house with Chu Tian, she found that there was nothing in the house, which made her angry again, and she sat directly on the chair without speaking, and her mouth was full of bad words about Zhou Tugen.
This made Chu Tian a little helpless, Xin'er was angry a lot today, and Chu Tian was afraid that she would hurt her body if she came again.
"It's okay, let's go."
Shaking his head, Chu Tian naturally didn't care about this, Xin'er was in a bad mood at this time, which was understandable.
"There's no need to take that, let's just go back and let them make some."
Seeing that Xin'er was going to get those cooking materials, Chu Tian directly asked her not to take them.
Otherwise, if you take these things back, do you want to let the shopkeeper return the silver to him?
Hearing Chu Tian's words, Xin'er nodded, originally she didn't want to waste it, but with Chu Tian, she still had to listen to Chu Tian.
After all, men still like obedient girls, and of course there are some exceptions.
Out of the courtyard, because Zhou Tugen lived here before, the chain that locked the door when Xin'er and his family fled had been destroyed by Zhou Tugen, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to enter.
So they can't lock the door at all when they leave now, and there is nowhere to get the lock in a hurry.
But with the emptiness inside, the thieves could only steal the vegetables they had left behind, and the thieves had to steal them as soon as possible, or else they would be ruined.
After coming out, there was no one outside, Chu Tian estimated that they should all leave, and he said everything so clearly, and it would be a death for himself to come to him again.
"Let's go, I shouldn't be back in the future."
Looking at Xin'er's reluctant eyes looking at the room, Chu Tian opened his mouth to comfort.
They're leaving here soon, and it's unknown if they'll come back, but probably not, unless he's going back to be a soldier? I'll pass by here then.
It's just that at this moment, another black shadow passed in the distance and caught his attention, and these people passed by one after another without knowing what was going on inside?
"Xin'er, is there anyone living here?"
Pointing towards the depths of the alley, Chu Tian asked curiously.
It's neither early nor late, but it's pitch black inside the alley, and no house has any light.
Chu Tian didn't believe that all the people inside were sleeping, otherwise there would always be one or two families lighting the lamp.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
"Well, there's no one living in it, it's all empty houses."
Retracting her gaze from looking at the door of the house and looking in the direction pointed by Chu Tian, Xin'er replied truthfully.
"No one lives? Why? I think these houses look pretty good, how come no one lives in them? ”
Chu Tian was not wrong in saying this, there were several houses in it that were even much better than Xin'er's and her family, how could it be that no one lived in them.
Unless the owner of the house has an accident, but if the owner of so many houses has an accident, then this is not an ordinary thing.
"Because it's haunted, it scares those people away."
"Haunted?"
Chu Tian thought of five or six possibilities in his mind, such as murder, plague or something, etc., but he didn't think that there was this reason.
"yes."
Speaking of haunting, Xin'er's expression was a little scared, and after taking a look at the dark alley, she instantly felt that her back was a lot colder.
"What's the hellering, tell me about it?"
Chu Tian was a little interested, and asked Xin'er to talk about the matter specifically.
This haunted ghost still has people running in 'pong', aren't they afraid of ghosts? Or are they just so-called ghosts?
Scare people away so that they can do some shady things??
"Don't, Brother Chu, I'm afraid I don't want to say it."
It's just that after Xin'er heard Chu Tian's words, she showed a pitiful look.
I don't want to talk about this thing that scared her, you must know that for a while she didn't dare to sleep alone at night, she still slept with her mother and let her father sleep alone, until later.
"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world, and what are you afraid of when Brother Chu is by your side, if a ghost dares to come to me and let it fly away, your Brother Chu has studied Taoism for a few years." Touching Xin'er's head, Chu Tian said confidently.
As for the Dao Fa, he just flipped through it casually when he had nothing to do, but Chu Tian was still very confident in his memory, and he could still memorize a few words from the Dao Sutra now.
"Well, then I'll tell you, don't be afraid."
Seeing that Chutian wanted to know so much, Xin'er could only smack her lips and said helplessly.
As for Chu Tian saying that he had studied the Dao for a few years, she didn't believe it at all.
How could Brother Chu be a Taoist priest when he eats meat!!
"Brother Chu, did you see the house in the deepest part?"
"See, is that house haunted?"
Looking in the direction of Xin'er's finger, Chu Tian also recognized it at a glance.
It is a two-story building in the innermost part of the alley, which is quite good, and this one is the best.
"Well, it's that building, the owner of that building left ten years ago because of something, so the house is also empty, and no one has lived in it.
Until four years ago, one night someone found that there was a faint light on the second floor, and at first others didn't care, thinking that the owner of the house had returned, but after three days, no one had seen anyone come out of it, and the lock in the yard was always there, rusty.
But at night the room was still lit, and it was said that some people saw shadows through the windows, so the next day several people wanted to know if someone was staying and unlocked the door and went in.
But they found that it was full of dust, and the furniture was tattered, and it didn't look like it was inhabited at all, and then they went to the room where the lights were lit and they didn't find anything, but at night the lights were on again, and they could hear footsteps, so everyone thought it was haunted, and everyone who lived nearby was afraid, and finally all the families moved away. ”
After saying all the haunted things, Chu Tian fell into deep thought, since the lights were on, he was sure that someone had lived in it, and as for the ghost legends, he had always disbelieved them.
Only people who have ghosts in their hearts will believe that there are ghosts in the world.
"Okay, you dare to lie to me."
And just when Chu Tian was thinking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xin'er, who was snickering on the side, looking at his expression carefully, and immediately came back and pinched Xin'er's face and said.
I didn't expect Xin'er to be bold now, and she dared to blatantly lie to herself.
"Ah, Brother Chu is killing me, I didn't lie to you." Rubbing her face that had been pinched by Chu Tian, Xin'er said aggrievedly.
After that, he turned his head and looked around, and saw that no one was approaching Chu Tian and whispered.
"I'm laughing because I've seen that 'ghost.'"
