Abandoned Woman Busy Farming
Chapter 1978 Exploring the truth
"Isn't there someone watching? How could it be stolen by a thief?" Bai Ruozhu frowned. Her secret guards were not bad at all. Later, she also collected martial arts secrets to train them and improve their strength. Even if the other party was a master thief, You wouldn't let the secret guards steal a load of stuff without even noticing, right?
"My subordinates also felt something strange, and after asking around, the four people on duty last night found nothing unusual, and no one came close. They always thought the goods were placed there, but at dawn they found an empty car." Jian Qi frowned. This incident made him very angry. It seemed like he was derelict in his duty, but he had no clue or clue at all.
At this time, a waiter came to deliver hot water. Suddenly his face changed and he said, "It must be the ghost of Pan's house who moved it away. Who else but the ghost can steal things so silently?"
I don't know if the waiter was too scared, or he was so excited when he mentioned Pan's house that the basin in his hand spilled a lot of water. Mo Xiang frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the basin, and then asked him to carry it down. Not to mention that all the washing water was spilled, and it made the room feel wet and uncomfortable.
Bai Ruozhu looked at the pale waiter and asked, "Why did the ghosts from Pan's house move other people's things before?"
The waiter shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that Pan's Mansion is not far from our store, and sometimes I can hear the ghosts screaming over there at night." He shrank his neck as he spoke, and said with some regret, "No, The shopkeeper is not allowed to tell the guests this, for fear of affecting the inn’s business, guest sir, just listen and don’t tell our shopkeeper.”
The waiter looked pleading, and Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Don't worry, we won't talk too much. If you tell us more about what you know, we won't have to ask anyone else."
"This..." The waiter hesitated for a moment, but continued to talk. He was smart and saw that the female guest was not afraid at all. Instead of asking her to find other people to inquire, and then the shopkeeper knew that he had leaked the information, how could he Isn't it more troublesome?
"The Pan family was originally a merchant, but no one lived in Pan's house. Their wife passed away three years ago. After Mr. Pan buried his wife grandly, he took his family back to his hometown, saying that he wanted to spend his old age in peace and did not want to live in the house again. We started doing business. Later, the place was handed over to middlemen for resale, but it never sold well. Then about half a year after Master Pan left, the house started to be haunted."
The waiter was very eloquent and spoke with such emotion that even Bai Ruozhu listened.
"First, the servants left by the Pan family to look after the house saw a ghost. Some people guessed that it was the deceased wife of the Pan family. But Mrs. Pan did not die unjustly, so how could she become a ghost? Later, the servants also asked a nearby Taoist priest to do it, but Unexpectedly, the ghosts got worse that night. The Taoist priest was frightened and went crazy, and the servant also broke a leg. Later, he said that what he saw was a male ghost. His face was red and his eyes were two holes. It was definitely not The wife of the Pan family who passed away."
"As a result, no one dared to buy the Pan family's house after such a commotion. Mr. Pan, who was in the countryside, heard that the Taoist priests were frightened and went crazy. How could they dare to come back? He was glad that his family left in time. It's just pity for our town. No one can get rid of the ghost, and everyone lives in fear, fearing that it will come out and harm people. However, this ghost has been causing trouble for more than two years, and no one has died. If not The ghost screams in Pan's house every night are so scary that everyone can forget about it."
Bai Ruozhu continued to analyze as she listened. It wasn't that she didn't believe in ghosts, but her intuition told her that no matter how she looked at it, there were human traces.
Originally, this ghost did no harm to anyone. Even if it made a lot of noise, it had nothing to do with her. But it happened to steal her things, so the matter couldn't be let go so easily.
"By the way, a customer once said that he passed by Pan's house at night and heard the ghost crying and laughing. He said it was not a crazy ghost." The waiter in the shop interacts with many people on weekdays and hears a lot of news.
The waiter had finished talking, so Bai Ruozhu asked him to go down and continue his work.
Mo Xiang glanced at the cold wash water and said, "Master, I'll change the water for you."
"Don't bother, just wash up." Bai Ruozhu said.
When Jian Qi saw Bai Ruozhu wanting to wash up, he hurriedly retreated. Unexpectedly, the waiter came back again, carrying a pot of hot water in his hand.
"Madam's water is cold. I'll give her some more."
Bai Ruozhu thought that the waiter was quite thoughtful, so he signaled to Mo Xiang to give him some reward.
While waiting for breakfast, Bai Ruozhu told his second brother and Si Yihuan about the theft, and then said that he did not plan to tell Elder Su and the others. After all, what was lost was only some medicinal materials and a thank-you gift from Tong Zhengye, so there was no need to go to the trouble. Please trouble Elder Su and the others.
Another thing she didn't say was that she felt that Elder Su was always in a bad mood, but he still believed in the great elder's character.
"What are your plans?" Bai Zepei asked.
Bai Ruozhu took the last bite of porridge and said, "Go to Pan Mansion and have a look. Aren't they selling houses all the time? As a foreigner, I am somewhat interested in this house and I don't believe in evil, so of course I have to check it out."
"Then I'll go too!" Si Yihuan said hurriedly.
"You and your second brother don't have any martial arts skills, so you should go to the city to find delicious food. I'll just take Jian Qi there to have a look. When you come back, you can treat me, my parents, my aunt and the others to a good meal." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile. .
Si Yihuan wanted to say he was worried, but Bai Zepei said first, "Okay."
She looked at Bai Zepei in surprise. Did he really accompany her to find food? Aren't you going to help Ruozhu? It feels like I'm doing my job properly.
Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, her second brother and Si Yihuan should get along more, so that they could warm each other up.
Then she said hello to her parents and took Jian Qi to the middleman who was buying and selling the house.
"What? Do you want to buy the Pan family's house?" The middle-aged man shouted, and then realized that he had lost his composure. He rubbed his hands and said with embarrassment: "Don't be offended, you two. You are foreigners and don't know anything about the Pan family." .”
The middleman was also kind and did not hide the fact that the Pan family was haunted.
"Don't look at the cheap price of that house, but it's not peaceful there. Logically speaking, I'm a middle-aged man and shouldn't gossip about my patron's house. But you found me, and I don't want to see anything happen to you, and I can't bear to deceive you. ." The man then told the story about the Pan family being haunted.
"It doesn't matter, let's go take a look first. There won't be any ghosts in broad daylight, right?" Bai Ruozhu looked like she didn't believe in ghosts at all.
The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, "Not in broad daylight, but there are some people infiltrating over there. You'd better look at other houses."
"But I don't have much money on hand. I really have no other choice. Just take us to see it." Bai Ruozhu looked helpless.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't have much to say. He had already done all he needed to say. If he said any more, he would have gone too far. He had no choice but to take Bai Ruozhu to Pan's house.
The moment the door opened, a burst of cold air rushed out, making Bai Ruozhu shiver subconsciously...
