It was just after three o'clock and the sun was still high in the sky. Two high-end cars stopped in front of the hotel. They didn't recognize any of the signs and thought that they must be high-end cars.
The mountain people had never seen such a grand show. With foreign cars suddenly arriving, they naturally swarmed over to take a look. They pointed at the cars while the braver ones even touched their hands. That slippery feeling was really hard to endure.
One person got out of the car and opened the back door to invite the person out. The men from the other car pushed their way into the hotel and stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone else from entering.
The coachman peered through the crowd. He had never seen the owner of the inn before, so seeing how the scene looked similar, he secretly left it behind, knocked on a window, and climbed in.
Ye Cheng who was standing far away saw all of this, he laughed and said to Mu Lingdie who was beside him: "I didn't know that old thing was eating young grass, ah, little sister!"
"He actually said it's useless. Why didn't he go through the gate and crawl through it?" Mu Lingdie rolled his eyes at Ye Cheng and asked.
"There's a commotion up ahead. I reckon Big Boss is here. He wants to see this Big Boss if he doesn't crawl. Don't tell him he has to crawl until he falls!" Ye Cheng held Mu Lingdie's hand and left the inn for the market in front of them. Then, they turned around and returned to their residences on the mountain.
That night, the mountains were calm. Not even the sounds of the beasts could be heard. It was as quiet as the eve of a storm.
With two whooshing sounds, two black shadows streaked across the sky and landed on the mountain path, speedily dashing towards the village in the deep mountains.
The lightning-fast figure quickly landed in an abandoned courtyard. The dilapidated house door was threatening to one side, revealing two holes for one person to pass through.
One of them directly went through the hole into the inner room, while the other jumped up onto the roof. In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from the courtyard.
A faint light shone out from the dark corner, Mu Lingdie swept the small torch in his hand in a circle, no one noticed anything happening on the first floor, and directly went to the second floor.
One of the rooms had a piece of hemp rope tied to it, just as Mu Lingdie was about to touch it, he was stopped by Ye Cheng who walked in from behind.
"This should be the hotel owner's bedroom. I heard Mei-zi say that if you see a hanging beam rope in the room, you must not touch it. There are ghosts hanging from the suspended beam, trying to take their lives." Ye Cheng grabbed Mu Lingdie's hand and blocked his back, then went around the cantilevered rope and arrived in front of a wardrobe. Look around to see if there's anything hidden! "
Mu Lingdie was a little unconvinced. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Suspending Beam Rope and felt goosebumps in her heart. Hubby, that's not right! Old Liu's family wasn't driven out of the village by the villagers, why would this daughter-in-law commit suicide here? I feel that there's something wrong with the driver's words. He doesn't seem to have told us where the Old Liu lived after they moved out of the village. "
"Are you dumb? Of course they live in hotels. How could you not know that?" Ye Cheng raised his head and saw that she was scared, and intentionally teasing her.
Sure enough, Mu Lingdie didn't doubt her. He scratched his head and started to flirt with Ye Cheng, forgetting about his nervousness and fear.
In the main bedroom, the two of them did not find anything suspicious, so they went through the cantilevered rope to the other two rooms to search for something. One of the baby rooms was well-preserved and did not have much room to rummage through, the other room was old, the things inside were in a mess, and there were also a lot of junk, which should be where Old Liu's parents lived.
After a careful search, the two returned to the first floor. This time, they came here for nothing.
After a busy night, the two of them quietly returned to the village house. The morning of the next day, Ye Cheng went to the foot of the mountain to wander around.
When he passed the hotel, there was only one high-end car parked in the empty lot. He couldn't tell where the car sign was from because he had seen a lot of famous cars before. He could tell most of the cars' signs, but no matter how he looked at the car logo, it was still strange.
Around 8 in the morning, the market was already filled with shouts. After Ye Cheng finished eating his fill, he staggered into the inn with a toothpick in his mouth. There was no one at the counter.
At around nine o'clock, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs. A few bodyguard people rushed out of the inn, and then two people followed, one of them was the coachman whom they had an appointment with yesterday. He bent over like a dog as he walked beside the owner, sending him all the way to the car, waving his hands towards the parking space, until he could no longer see the car.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!" It seems like your trade talks are pretty good! "
"Oh my god, are you trying to scare me to death?!" "The carriage driver suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Cheng as he lined up his chest. Why are you here? "
"Curious! "Who was the owner of the inn just now? He looks very young!" Ye Cheng looked at the carriage and laughed.
"The coachman snorted, dusted his pants, and walked out of the inn." Let's go, I'll take you to Old Liu's house! "
Sssss, there was something wrong with his tone. He was nodding and bowing just a moment ago, but now he was disagreeing. What was going on? Ye Cheng was not in a rush to ask, so he got on the carriage, and the two went to the front of Old Liu's house.
"It's been a long time since someone has come here. The house is ruined, so be careful when you go in." After the carriage stopped in the courtyard, he picked up a broomstick to fiddle with the broken door plate, and removed the spider web, bringing Ye Cheng to stroll around the house.
The light of the day did not give much light to the houses. The electricity had been cut off, the water had been cut off, the coal had been cut off, and uninhabited rats were running all over the place.
"This house is too dilapidated!" Ye Cheng shook his head like a buyer watching a house. If you buy it and renovate it, you would need to spend a lot of money, who knows how long it would take to recycle the huge investment. Sigh, this Old Liu has only been dead for a few months, how could the house be destroyed like this? "
"It's still not as good as causing trouble!" "The coachman shrugged, squatted down in the yard, and began to smoke." In the mountains, it was already wet to begin with, and there were also a lot of wild beasts. Mice had already occupied the houses with no one around.
Ye Cheng said in an 'oh' and wandered around a few more times before entering the master bedroom. From the balcony, he was able to see quite well, just in time to see the mountain side where the inn owner was killed, which was only about seven to eight meters away. If he didn't go there, he would take a detour.
"There is a suspension rope in this room. Old Liu's wife hung herself here?"
"The driver raised his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Cheng as he nodded his head. "Young man, don't you dare touch that rope!"
Ye Cheng leaned on the balcony and asked the driver: "Oh? "What do you mean?"
The driver sighed, then slapped his own thigh: "Yesterday, I mistreated you, but in truth, Old Liu's cousin wasn't missing at all. I don't know what kind of evil took that brat, but after coming here one night to cut the rope, he became as dumb as a ghost. He spent all day shouting 'see Old Liu come here to claim his life', and so on, don't send him to a lunatic asylum!"
"Short? Isn't it hanging fine? " As Ye Cheng spoke, he turned his head to look at the beam rope, his heart cold.
The coachman stamped on his cigarette and walked out with his hands behind his back. In a while, he came back with a village woman. Do you believe me if you ask this aunt, that day, many people were there, and they all saw the rope breaking, and when the police came the next day, the rope was still hanging there properly. Do you think this was caused by Old Liu's daughter-in-law being unable to rest in peace? "
Ye Cheng felt that something was amiss as he walked out of the house with furrowed brows. Standing in front of the carriage driver, he looked at the abandoned house and said: "Big brother, you seem to be warm-hearted, this village house belongs to the Old Liu, if I were to say that I want to buy it, how much benefit would you have?"
The coachman raised his hand and said, "Don't, I'm talking so much with you, not for business. We are Taoists, can we live here? Yesterday I was joking with you, if someone really dares to buy this house, then they must have a tough life. Otherwise, whoever lives here will be in trouble."
Ye Cheng broke up with the carriage driver in front of the abandoned house. He walked back to the village alone, and when he passed by a house, he saw a fellow villager picking vegetables in the courtyard. From the view of his back, it seemed that he was the same person who had been watching from outside the door the day before.
When the fellow villager heard the commotion, he turned around in fright, causing the basket in his hands to drop to the ground. His expression was as if he had run into a ghost.
Ye Cheng chose not to, what did he mean by that, was he really that terrifying? "Even if it's not a jade tree in the wind, it would at least be a piece of fresh meat!" "Uncle, yesterday you were looking for me in front of my house, is there something you need?"
"No, no, you got the wrong person. Get out, get out!" After this old fellow picked up the basket and chased Ye Cheng out, he quickly returned to his room and closed the door, no longer bothering with Ye Cheng.
What's wrong with that! Ye Cheng speechlessly returned back to his village house to look at himself in the mirror for a long time. Wife, do I look bad? "
"What the hell are you doing? This face is the most lovable one I've ever seen. You don't even get a ticket back when you drag it out to a movie. I suggest you wait for us to go back and get a studio for a movie or TV show. You act as the main character and promise that you won't take it at the box office."
The corner of Ye Cheng's eyes twitched. Just pull it. Open a film production company. It's not for money! "
"You're the one who asked me. You don't believe me when I tell you the truth, so why are you asking me?" Mu Lingdie angrily kicked Ye Cheng, and immediately cried out. "Hubby, you stepped on dog shit. How can it be so smelly?"
"You just stepped on dog shit. Have you seen a dog after coming to the village for so long?" Ye Cheng roared back, but suddenly stopped in his tracks as though he had discovered something and glared at Mu Lingdie. "That's right, I was wondering why this village was so weird. There are so many houses and two dogs that don't even have dogs, isn't that weird?"
Mu Lingdie took a step forward and sniffed Ye Cheng up and down, then used his hand to cover his nose and jumped a few steps away. "It's really smelly, where did you go from here? Did you fall into the fecal pit? "
Ye Cheng lifted his arm to take a whiff, where did the stench come from!
"Looks like I have to call Mei-zi over!"
Ye Cheng told Mu Lingdie about the suspension rope. He could not smell the stench of his own body, but since Mu Lin Die was sticking to him, if she was sitting 3 to 4 metres away and talking to him at that distance, that would be his problem.
Ah!" Today, I met the fellow villager from yesterday noon. He looks at me as if I've seen a ghost, could it be that ?
"Crow's beak, don't spout nonsense. We haven't touched anything. I'll get Meizi to come over right now. You stay in the yard and stay out in the sun." Even though Mu Lingdie said that, she hid far away to avoid Ye Cheng from making calls.
The feeling of being despised as a naked fruit, Ye Cheng's heart was filled with sorrow!
Squatting in the courtyard, Ye Cheng, who was playing with mud by himself, was as pitiful as an abandoned puppy. Holding onto a branch, he drew something on the ground.
Even though Mu Lingdie was curious, it was really because the smell coming from Ye Cheng's body was too strong and she didn't want to get any closer.
After a few hours, the two of them were just talking to each other while separated by a window. Ye Cheng, who had his back facing the courtyard door, suddenly jumped up. I got it! "
