All the way to the north of the city.
After leaving the city gate, the road became uneven. After walking for about half an hour, the sky turned dark, and we finally arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.
This Zhuangzi has been haunted for more than 20 years. Except for the surrounding farmers and the people who specialize in taking care of the Zhuangzi, no one else actually knows much about it.
For example, the sturdy men and women brought by Yun Chu looked curiously at the deserted village in front of them, wondering why no crops were planted.
"Madam, this door is full of weeds, so don't go in." Chen Defu said, "I will take a few people to explore the situation."
Yun Chu carefully observed the entrance of Zhuangzi, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips: "At first glance, it is indeed overgrown with weeds, but Uncle Chen, have you noticed that there is an extremely difficult to find line separating the grass on the left and right? People in Zhuangzi should enter and exit through this small road."
Cheng Defu stared in shock: "Anyone else dares to live here?"
Yunchu smiled but said nothing.
People are 30% afraid of ghosts, and 70% of ghosts are afraid of people. Even if there are really ghosts, there is actually no need to be afraid.
She took the lead to walk in from the separate path, and her dress was caught in the weeds. As she walked forward, many threads were caught, and one skirt was ruined.
Chen Defu quickly stepped on the weeds and walked in front of her to clear the way.
Tingshuang held the lamp in front, while Tingfeng and Tingxue helped Yunchu lift up her skirt.
The women and men behind them were shouting and following. It was only then that they realized something was wrong. It was completely dark today. Why was there not a single lamp lit in the village?
Entering Zhuangzi, the weeds inside were as tall as a man. The moonlight shone down and the shadows of the trees swayed. The timid Tingxue turned pale with fright.
Chen Defu led people to clear a path, led Yun Chu into the lobby, wiped the chairs in the lobby with his own clothes, and respectfully asked Yun Chu to sit down.
Tingshuang also brought tea from the carriage and made tea here.
After the tea is boiled and the aroma of tea overflows, the night becomes darker.
Chen Defu Tingshuang and others are gradually getting bolder. With so many of them, even if there are evil spirits, they probably won't dare to show themselves.
"This tea has been brewed too much. Let's take a few sips each to moisten our throats. We will start working later."
Yun Chu smiled and drank the tea.
Mother-in-laws always only drink crude tea. This was the first time I drank such exquisite and mellow tea, so I couldn't help but drink a few more cups.
After a while, a woman held her stomach and said, "Madam, can you please relieve me? I'll be here right away."
Yun Chu nodded: "It's dark outside, please ask two people to accompany you."
There happened to be two women who were also anxious, so the three of them went out of the lobby together. The outside was full of weeds as tall as a person. They couldn't tell the direction or where to find the toilet. So the three of them worked together to find it. In a place with lush vegetation, I took off my belt and squatted down...
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.
A woman said loudly: "We are here, you have to relieve yourself and go elsewhere."
The footsteps are getting closer and closer...
Yun Chu and others were sitting in the lobby, and soon they heard the screams of the women.
Tingxue was so frightened that her whole face trembled: "There can't really be a ghost..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Tingshuang's voice was also trembling, "Madam has arranged for Uncle Chen to come over, and everything will be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Defu asked people to carry the three women back. Two of them had fainted from fright, and the remaining one was talking nonsense: "It's a ghost, such a scary ghost, with such long fangs, that ghost wants to Eat us..."
As the mother-in-law spoke, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Chen Defuhui reported: "Madam, when the old slave led people over, the thing had already run away. It ran so fast that it disappeared into the woods."
There were tall trees and lush vegetation in the forest, and it was dark. When they first arrived, they fainted when they entered.
The women and men in the lobby were all frightened. No one thought that there was a ghost here, and they all wanted to retreat.
Yunchu stood up and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
The men and women looked at each other.
They don't understand, isn't Madam afraid? Why is Madam so calm and doesn't show any signs of panic?
All I can say is that the master is the master and cannot be compared to servants like them.
With Yunchu taking the lead, these people found the backbone, and their thoughts of retreat slowly dissipated, and they walked outside around Yunchu.
Chen Defu and the four men opened the way in front, and soon arrived at the place where the three women had just relieved themselves. The weeds were crushed in one direction. Everyone walked in that direction, and after a dozen or so steps, they arrived in front of Zhuangzi's grove. .
The grove is darker and the trees are more prosperous. Not only do you encounter ghosts when you enter, but you can still drink from it if you get lost.
Yun Chu closed his eyes and sniffed.
Just now she put an unknown fragrance in the tea. It was a spice developed by her mother when she was a child. She liked it very much and ordered some when she had no problem.
Later, she discovered that this fragrance lasted for a long time. Even if it was drunk into the stomach, it would still have this smell when it came out of the body, and the smell would be deeper.
Those women drank tea and relieved themselves. The "ghost" passing by here would definitely be smelled of it.
Yun Chu smelled it for a while, then opened his eyes and pointed due south: "Uncle Chen, go here."
Chen Defu nodded and stepped forward with four men to clear the way.
There are no traces of anyone coming here at all, but if you look carefully, you will find that the weeds fall very regularly in one direction. People who are used to walking can walk smoothly without affecting the weeds.
Yunchu led people deep into the woods and saw a thatched house. Although the house was located in a dense forest, it looked very clean and smelled of fireworks.
Chen Defu couldn't believe it: "It turns out there are really people living here."
Tingfeng frowned: "Who is pretending to be a ghost here? Uncle Chen, arrest him quickly and interrogate him."
Yun Chu made a gesture of disapproval.
She walked to the door of the hut and said quietly: "Mrs. Wu, Master Wu, let's meet."
Before preparing to buy this village, she had already checked the situation of the Wu family, the earliest owner of this village.
After the Wu family members got a strange disease, they all died and were buried in the Wu family's ancestral grave. She specially sent someone to visit the huge ancestral grave, but there were still two tombstones missing.
That was the last wife of the Wu family, and the young master who was only about one year old at the time.
The fire ten years after the last life probably burned the mother and son to death, so the haunting ended just like that.
After Yun Chu finished speaking, there was no response from the hut.
She was not in a hurry and continued: "A miracle doctor has recently arrived in the capital. Doesn't Mrs. Wu want the miracle doctor to diagnose Young Master Wu's pulse and treat his illness?"
As soon as these words came out, there was movement in the room. After a while, a bent woman came out with a cane.
Yunchu couldn't help but be shocked.
Mrs. Wu had just given birth to a child, and she was only about 20 years old. Twenty years later, she is now about 40 years old. She looks as if she is 60 years old. What exactly has she gone through to make a woman age like this? ?
She wasn't over yet.
Another man in a black cloak came out of the house.
The man's face was covered with blisters as big as a baby's fist. The blisters were somewhat broken and festering, and his whole face looked very scary. He stretched out his hand to support his mother. His hands were also covered in blisters, and he probably had too many blisters on his body. all……
Yunchu knew that this was Master Wu, who suffered from a strange disease inherited from the Wu family.
