"It's haunted? How is this possible?" Shen Yuyu also looked puzzled. This house was indeed haunted by "ghosts," but it was confirmed that they were all humans! Now it is haunted again? It's a bit confusing.
"It's really haunted. Your Aunt Bai and I saw it with our own eyes." Aunt Zhou's eyes were full of fear. "This morning when it was almost dawn, your Aunt Bai and I got up to light the morning fire and found that there was no firewood at home. Remembering the pile of dry firewood at the cattle pen, I lit a torch and went over to carry it.'
The Shen family's cattle pen was built near Yingxue's residence. Shen Yuyu knew this, so he nodded and continued to listen to the aunt.
The aunt paused and continued: "When I walked to the cattle pen, I slipped and fell in the snow, extinguishing the torch. The two of us were not sure what to do when we suddenly heard a squeak and saw The corner door on the other side of Yingxue Residence is actually open."
Aunt Bai added, "Although the moonlight in the sky is not very bright, you can clearly see Yingxue Residence under the reflection of the ice and snow. I watched helplessly as a white shadow came out of the corner door, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Already."
"This scene scared your aunt and I to death. We huddled outside the cattle pen, not daring to breathe or move. It wasn't until dawn that we crawled home." Aunt Zhou said with lingering fear, "Later, I even asked you, Brother Yongping, to check out the corner gate of Yingxue Residence. The snow was so smooth that there wasn’t even a single footprint~~
Shen Yuyu was also shocked after hearing this. If he were a human, it would be impossible not to leave footprints, but how could a ghost come out and move around at dawn?
This is strange!
After a moment of silence, Shen Yue asked, "Can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"I look like a female ghost, quite petite." Aunt Bai said.
"Yes, it should be a female ghost." Aunt Zhou also nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Yuyu paused and warned, "Don't leak this beforehand, so as not to cause panic."
After speaking, he patted the backs of their hands and said, "Auntie, please go back first. I will investigate this matter clearly."
"Okay." Aunt Zhou and Aunt Bai agreed and went back.
Shen Yuyu glanced towards Yingxueju and was silent for a while. Then he went down to the well mouth and scooped out a spoonful of water and brought it back to Beishan** for Aqin to examine.
Afterwards, she went into the village and borrowed a cage for catching snowbirds, then took the grains and shadows to Yingxue Residence.
"Master, are you really going to catch snowbirds?" Shadow asked strangely, and it didn't look like much.
"Of course not." Shen Yuyu denied, and said mysteriously, "It's not about catching birds, it's about catching ghosts."
"Catch a ghost? Where did the ghost come from?" Shadow used to be a soldier under General Wei Liang. Would a person who fought hard on the battlefield believe in ghosts?
"Yingxueju, Aunt Shen and Aunt Bai saw a fluttering ghost in white this morning." Shen Yuyu replied. Without saying much, the two quickly came to Yingxueju with bird-catching equipment. in the snow.
He pretended to put the bird cage in place, sprinkled grains as bait, and then hid in Yingxue's house.
I didn't get too close. I took a few glances at the corner door from a distance, but I didn't find a single footprint. Again, if someone came out of the corner door, it would be impossible without leaving footprints. This is really weird.
"Master, you don't really think this place is haunted, do you?" Shadow looked at Shen Yuyu, "There are ten thousand of us who came back from the battlefield who don't believe in this kind of thing. If there really were ghosts, so many people would have died in that battle. Aren’t you going to be infested with ghosts?”
"Pfft~~" Shen Yuyu chuckled, "I didn't say what I believed, but I didn't say I didn't believe it either. After all, I won't jump to conclusions until the truth of the matter comes out.'
"Then go into the house and check to get to the bottom of it. If there are really people inside, there will definitely be traces of activity." Shadow said.
"It's not time yet." Shen Yuyu shook his head, "Let's get out of here first."
After leaving Yingxue Residence, Shen Yuyu continued to prepare for the New Year, put up window grilles and couplets, and acted like a normal person. However, Shadow was always worried about this matter, thinking that Shen Yuyu didn't intend to investigate.
Of course he was wrong. After nightfall, Shen Yuehu asked his shadow to sneak into the cattle pen of Uncle Shen's house and crawl on his knees silently.
That 'female ghost' didn't appear until almost dawn. How could any ghost be out and about at that time?
The reason why the news is blocked is that the 'female ghost' will not come back after leaving Yingxue Residence. There are so many women in the village, who knows who is playing tricks?
It's a pity that Shen Yuyu and Shadow waited all night and found nothing. Yingxue's residence was quiet and quiet without a single ghost.
The next day, Shadow refused to let Shen Yuyu go because it was too cold. He taught Shen Yuyu the cry of a night bird as a signal, and then squatted there alone.
The night passed quietly again.
Until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Ji Xun and Lin Yi both came back, Shen Yuhu and Yingying still found nothing.
That night, everyone ate hot pot and chatted happily. After the meal, A Qin got up and cleared the table. Shadow saw that it was getting dark outside and cast an inquiring look at Shen Yu.
"Master, are you still going to stay tonight?"
"Go, of course you have to go, but you can't let all your efforts go to waste." Shen Yuyu replied affirmatively.
"Okay, my subordinate will go now." After saying this, the shadow left the main room and disappeared into the night.
"What's going on? Who is guarding?" Ji Xun wiped Shen Yuyu's mouth carefully with a handkerchief, then took her jade hand and held it in his palm. The light reflected his perfect handsome face, and his smile was so bright. Warmth and softness.
Ji Yi next to him was stunned. The iceberg-like His Highness the Night King only showed such tenderness when facing the Night Princess. True love! Absolute true love!
Shen Yuyu winked at Ji Xun in a ghostly manner, "Yingxue Residence, that place is haunted again!"
"Really?" Ji Xun was surprised, and Shen Yuyu explained in detail what Aunt Bai and Aunt Zhou saw and heard.
Hearing that Murakami's house was haunted, A Qin and Lin Yi both showed great interest and rushed to analyze it.
One thought there was a ghost, the other thought there was no ghost. They were having a lively chat when they suddenly heard several crisp nightingale calls, which were signals from the shadows.
Shen Yuyu was immediately excited when he heard this. After guarding for so many days, the truth was finally revealed and he couldn't wait to stand up.
"Let's go and catch ghosts."
"It's cold outside, so wear thicker clothes." Ji Xun took out a thick mink velvet cloak and put it on Shen Yuyu, and then the group headed towards Yingxue Residence carrying lanterns.
