Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Jiang Li is So Daring!
Jiang Li listened to the end and didn’t have much of a reaction, only pondered for a bit before saying, “Would it be convenient to take to see near your ho?”
Aunt Ying couldn’t wait for her to visit, nodding vigorously, “Convenient, convenient.”
[So excited, so excited, live streaming a master catching ghosts!]
[It’s a civilized society now, where did that thing co from, isn’t Jiang Li just putting on airs again? Each script is more far-fetched than the next.]
[Exactly, doesn’t anyone care about this? The production team’s phone has been unreachable.]
Director Sun, who had been paying attention to the situation here, perked up when he heard this.
...
An on-site investigation?
How could he not follow along?
If sothing really did happen, the program would suffer too.
So, he could only quietly follow at the back of the crowd with several assistants and go to Aunt Ying’s ho.
Just like Aunt Ying said, her ho was indeed remote, with a large mountain behind and surrounded by dense woods.
Before they had even entered the door, the big yellow dog at Aunt Ying’s ho started barking furiously.
In the village, every household generally had a dog for guarding the house and other purposes, and they usually didn’t tie them up.
But Aunt Ying’s dog had been causing such a commotion over the past few days that she had no choice but to tie it up in the yard.
Seeing her own dog so restless and uneasy, Aunt Ying hurried forward to fondle the head of the big yellow dog, trying to calm it down.
“Lai Fu has been with us for over a decade, usually so well-behaved and endearing, we’ve long treated it like our own child, I wouldn’t have tied it up if it hadn’t been so troubleso these days.”
Jiang Li walked over, slowly squatting down in front of Lai Fu, reaching out and rubbing its chin.
Lai Fu imdiately stopped barking, seemingly enjoying it as it sat on its haunches on the ground, accepting Jiang Li’s caresses.
Aunt Ying was pleasantly surprised, “It seems it really likes you.”
Jiang Li smiled, “I like small animals too.”
Saying this, she looked around, finally resting her gaze on the wall Aunt Ying had talked about.
“However, I looked at the Feng Shui of the area surrounding your ho and this house, it’s quite alright and not a place that nourishes evil spirits. What happened before was probably just your imagination.”
Aunt Ying was sowhat incredulous, “But I clearly heard coughing sounds, very distinct, and Lai Fu’s barking was real too.”
Jiang Li stood up, dusting off her clothes, “Why don’t you co with and see?”
Aunt Ying nodded and followed Jiang Li.
Jiang Li went straight to the front of the neighboring house.
It was visible that Aunt Ying was very cautious, stopping at a good distance and not daring to move.
The people around were persuading her, “Aunt Ying, maybe you’re just too sensitive, in broad daylight, what ‘dirty’ thing could there possibly be?”
But soone imdiately retorted, “Don’t disbelieve, I’ve heard from the old people in the village about this family, saying indeed their ho wasn’t peaceful. Several elders passed away due to illnesses, and the children were fighting over the property so much they couldn’t stand it and moved away, maybe there really is so bad luck thing there.”
Jiang Li listened to these people’s words but didn’t show any discomfort; rather, she stretched out her hand and gently knocked twice on the door.
Aunt Ying was startled, quickly retreating several steps.
This girl’s courage is a bit too much.
After a while with no response, Jiang Li knocked a few more tis.
Suddenly, a creaking, grating noise ca from the crack in the door.
[Holy cow, holy cow, what’s that noise? Did you all hear it? It’s coming from inside the door!!!]
“`
[[Ahhhhhh! Screen shield! Screen shield!!!]]
[[Help! This is the first ti I’ve felt goosebumps watching a live broadcast in daylight, Jiang Li is so bold, how dare she?]]
[[Tsk, can’t you see it’s scripted? That’s why she’s not scared.]]
Everyone held their breath, clearly, the noise coming from behind the door was beyond their expectations.
A few even started to get cold feet, regretting joining in the excitent.
Then, the door actually opened a crack, but what ca out was not so unclean thing, but the face of an angry man.
Despite their ntal preparation, people were still startled, with so timid aunties even screaming outright.
“Who are you guys? Why are you all gathered around our front door?”
Seeing the man speak, the crowd finally settled down.
So it was a real person.
But, had this family not moved away long ago? Where did this person co from?
Jiang Li was the only one remaining calm, and after a slight smile, she explained her purpose to the man.
But the man did not let his guard down; after seeing the nearby cara, he furrowed his brows even higher.
“What’s all this mumbo jumbo? How could my house possibly be haunted? You all must have an ulterior motive, right?”
Aunt Ying finally got over her shock, knowing it wasn’t an evil spirit causing trouble, she was so infuriated that she went up to argue.
“Then who are you? I saw Shui’s family move away with my own eyes two years ago, this house has been empty ever since, how did you move in?”
The man snorted coldly, “Shui is my cousin, her family moved into the city, and it’s normal for them to let stay here, isn’t it?”
Aunt Ying had nothing to say.
Because she hadn’t expected there to actually be soone in the house.
[[Scared to death, I really thought there was sothing.]]
[[So there’s soone living there, thankfully, if there really was sothing… I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.]]
[[Wait a minute, sisters, why do I find this man kind of familiar… Isn’t this the grumpy uncle who rejected Jiang Yan’s request for lodging yesterday, and didn’t even listen to him fully before slamming the door?!]]
[[OMG, it really is, I rember Jiang Yan knocked on this house’s door! This uncle is really fierce.]]
Thus, the misunderstanding was dismissed.
But Aunt Ying’s heart finally settled.
“It’s good that it’s not haunted, now I can sleep well, but why on earth was Lai Fu barking so fiercely?”
“It might be because he sensed soone next door,” Jiang Li suggested, “According to your description, he doesn’t seem like a local, and I’ve also noticed he mostly doesn’t go out during the day, only at night. Animals have particularly sensitive hearing, so that could be why he was agitated.”
Aunt Ying nodded, sowhat convinced, “So that’s it, but this guy is really strange, not working during the day and just lying around at ho? Young people these days…”
Aunt Ying said, shaking her head, but she didn’t forget to thank Jiang Li and even dragged her to her ho for a cup of tea.
As she left, Jiang Li looked back at the peeling vermilion door, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Behind the door, not until he saw Jiang Li and the others leave did the man spit out the cigarette butt from his mouth, cursed under his breath, and turned to enter the room inside.
With the door shut, the inside was completely devoid of light, dark and eerie.
The man didn’t rush to turn on the light but moved a table, revealing the entrance to a hidden basent underneath.
Afterward, he cautiously crawled in.
Passing through a long corridor, the view inside suddenly beca bright, and the noise grew louder.
Several shirtless n were seen sitting around a table, playing cards and drinking, with a faint, musky odor wafting through the room.
