Chapter 26: Rumors

Students are always a vibrant group, and it didn't take long for the story of the proprietress of the shepherd's house to be inquired about, and it was vividly passed on, and several versions were circulated. But most people are saying that it was the man of the proprietress before the shepherd house who cheated and was unwilling to die, so he came to his in-laws for revenge.

Ni Hua and his wife were frightened, and Ni Aiguo didn't dare to appear in the shepherd's house at all. He already had a ghost in his heart, Zhen Ming died so miserably, how dare he appear in the shepherd's house, he was afraid that Zhen Ming was really a powerful ghost who asked for his life, as long as he appeared, Zhen Ming would kill him.

Liu Ling was vicious and bold, but she was also frightened after hearing the terrible cry with her own ears, recalling that day Zhen Ming's desperate and terrible cry before she died, just like when the shepherd was haunted, it was not bad at all.

Liu Ling didn't dare to go to the shepherd's house again, and even scared her into bed after repeated fright, and it took more than half a month to recover. After Liu Ling recovered from her illness, she didn't dare to go to the shepherd's house again, so she only asked Ni Hua to check the accounts during the day.

Originally, Liu Ling thought that if she spent more money and found a few stewards to manage the shepherd's house, they could make money just by checking the accounts. But the haunting of the shepherd's house is getting more and more serious, and none of the stewards recruited can work in the shepherd's house for more than three days. After all, hearing ghost screams and even seeing ghosts is really not a good experience, and no one wants to work in that kind of place every day.

Fortunately, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Liu Ling spent five or six times the price to invite a few people who were willing to work in the shepherd's house. But even so, from time to time, some people still say that they don't want to work in the shepherd's house, and the experience of seeing hell every day is too testing for the heart.

Liu Ling and Ni Aiguo had no choice but to discuss closing the shepherd's house, changing places, and reopening a sheep's house. Anyway, there are medicinal recipes, and I believe that where to open them, it is the same. But Ni Aiguo had concerns in his heart, he felt that the reason why Shepherd House was haunted might be because Zhen Ming was unwilling for them to kill her and the child because of Shepherd's House, so he would make trouble in that place, even if they changed places, Zhen Ming would also appear there.

After all, Zhen Ming died at home, not in Shepherd's House, no matter what, Zhen Ming should not appear in Shepherd's House. He was afraid that they would toss for a long time, but in the end it would be in vain. Liu Ling also felt justified when she heard this, thought about it for a few days, and began to go to various temples, Taoist temples invited masters to catch ghosts, hoping to arrest Zhen Ming and stop harming their family.

A citizen at the lowest level like Liu Ling has no chance to come into contact with a truly capable master. So even if a few monks who can do things from the temple occasionally don't help, when those monks practice in the bathroom, the big-bellied women stand in front of them and look at them so bloodily, scaring several monks half to death, and they don't even dare to ask for the money for the rituals and run away.

Such a result made Liu Ling really start to be afraid, and she began to regret why she killed Zhen Ming in the first place. killed Zhen Ming, but didn't get any benefits, but in the end she made a fuss, what is she trying to do?

Ni Hua is a person who is still a good person, he didn't know that his son was having an affair and conspired with his wife and son to kill his daughter-in-law, although he didn't like this daughter-in-law, but since he got married, he never thought of divorcing his son or anything, he couldn't believe that his son and wife could do such a thing.

Ni Hua scolds Liu Ling and Ni Aiguo at home almost every day, a good daughter-in-law, how filial she is! The original shepherd lived in the day to make money, and the daughter-in-law gave almost all of her income to their second elder, which of those relatives in the family did not envy him Ni Hua would give birth to a son, and the son would marry a daughter-in-law, not praise him Ni Hua's good life?

But what evil did his son and wife create? The good daughter-in-law died, and the shepherd who made money every day saw the haunting. He was afraid that even if the shepherd's house was closed, Zhen Ming would not let their family go, and maybe the haunted place would have to be replaced by his own home.

Liu Ling and Ni Aiguo were scolded by Ni Hua every day, and they also remembered the good days in the past, and couldn't help but regret it. But what's the use of regretting? Zhen Ming and the child are dead, and they can't go back, the most important thing now is how to solve the haunted thing, otherwise they may experience a powerful ghost asking for their lives at any time, and when they think about it, they feel creepy.

It's just that they have thought of a lot of ways and a lot of relationships, but they still haven't found any masters who can catch ghosts, and the haunting incident is getting worse and worse in the shepherd's house.

Xu Lu had heard this rumor before, but she just heard it, she didn't believe that the hotel was haunted at all, she thought it was a boo made by the merchant himself, in order to attract students who were interested in catching ghosts to go to the restaurant to eat and see ghosts. Otherwise, the rumors have been spread for so long, why haven't I heard of any casualties at all.

But today Xu Lu doesn't think so, the scream just now is too scary, it seems to be in his ears. Even more than 10 million loudspeakers can't achieve this effect, and she thinks maybe there may really be a ghost screaming.

Xu Lu's face was not good, if it weren't for the master in her heart, Li Xiruo, sitting next to her, she would probably have run away. Li Xiruo only frowned slightly when he heard the scream, and did not react much, but focused on the dishes on the table.

Before she came, she heard Xu Lu say that this restaurant is mainly made of medicinal food, because the medicinal food in the box on the second floor is made of precious medicinal materials, so the price is high. During this time, the proprietress was gone, and the medicinal diet was not as effective as before, so the price dropped a little, but the effect of ordinary medicinal mutton was still the same as before.

Li Xiruo stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a chopsticks The main medicinal mutton here, the smell of mutton is covered by the fragrance of medicinal herbs, it melts in the mouth, the aroma of meat is stewed out, and the aroma of medicinal herbs is mixed with the fragrance of seasonings, which makes people enjoy a taste feast.

Li Xiruo's eyes lit up suddenly, she had also eaten imperial food before, and it was also stewed. But the Tang Dynasty didn't have so many spices, and it was far from being able to stew such mellow food. The food in the school cafeteria is completely incomparable to this medicinal diet!

Li Xiruo took chopsticks and wore flowers and butterflies between the dishes, and greeted Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi while clipping: "The dishes here taste good, you can eat them too, you're welcome!" ”

Chen Jiaqi and Xu Lu obviously don't have such a good psychological quality as Li Xiruo, and they still have the appetite to eat after hearing the screams of the ghosts. Both of their faces were a little pale, and Xu Lu didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing Li Xiruo's Yaxing. Chen Jiaqi didn't have this scruples, and said directly: "Xiruo, you ...... Didn't you hear that cry? How can you still ...... I still have to eat......"

Li Xiruo swallowed the cordyceps ginseng chicken soup in his mouth, glanced up at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What do you mean, look at what scares you, it's okay, eat it quickly, the food will not taste good if it is cold for a while." After a pause, he said: "This cry probably frightened a lot of people, let's not urge our staple food, don't the chef run away, no one will serve us staple food." ”

Xu Lu: "......" You have a really big heart, and you are still thinking about your staple food at this time.

Chen Jiaqi: "......" is a foodie who lacks heart.

Li Xiruo tilted his head and thought about it, he seemed to have ordered some medicinal osmanthus cake just now, this has really not been eaten before, if the chef runs away, it is a pity that he can't eat it. So he got up and walked outside, and decided to urge the waiter to bring him osmanthus cake first.

Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi were originally afraid, but when they saw Li Xiruo standing up, they hurriedly followed behind her, and they didn't dare to leave a single step. Xu Lu now regrets that she brought Li Xiruo and Chen Jiaqi to this restaurant for dinner, and even regrets that she didn't believe the rumors that this place was haunted.

Li Xiruo opened the door of the box with his hands behind his back. After walking a few steps along the corridor, I saw that the corridor was quiet, and there was no shadow of half of the waiter, so I couldn't help frowning, thinking if the scream just now scared people away.

Chen Jiaqi was originally timid, and he was afraid of ghosts when he was young, but at this time, when he saw that there was no one in the corridor, his frightened face turned white, and he grabbed Li Xiruo's arm in a hurry and trembled: "Xiruo, I'm ...... I'm scared...... The people here are gone......"

Li Xiruo looked left and right, and there was nothing unclean in this corridor. She patted Chen Jiaqi's hand holding her arm, and reassured Chen Jiaqi and Xu Lu: "There's nothing here, don't be afraid." Besides, with me here, what are you afraid of? ”

Li Xiruo took the two of them a few more steps, reached the staircase on the second floor, and looked down the stairs towards the hall on the first floor. Seeing that there were still many guests sitting in the hall, but those guests' expressions were not very good-looking now, and they were obviously frightened by the screams just now, and they were grabbing the waiter next to them and asking about something.

Seeing the people in the hall, Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi's pale little faces were slightly bloody, if the entire hotel was empty now, they would probably faint on the spot. They even have the immediate sense of watching a 3D horror movie in a theater.

Li Xiruo saw that the waiters were all downstairs, and there was a smile on her face, she took Xu Lu and Chen Jiaqi downstairs, walked up to a waiter and asked, "Is the osmanthus cake in our private room ready?" ”

The waiter's name is Xiaocui, who was about to go out, but was suddenly caught and a little scared. Today is her first day of work, she came from the countryside and was introduced here by a fellow villager to work as a waitress, and I heard that the salary here is several times that of other restaurants. Although I thought it was a little strange, for the sake of money, I didn't hesitate to come.

Who knew that on the first day, she felt that there was such a terrible thing as a terrible ghost screaming, she wanted to go out and run for her life, she didn't want to be caught and questioned, and she was asking this kind of question, Xiao Cui looked at Li Xiruo's expression with a little weirdness.
