Chapter 138 The Lin Residence is Haunted
"Mo Dong, why are you so strange today? You have asked this question three times." Shen Wanning walked directly to Mo Dong and asked.
Mo Dong smiled awkwardly. "It's too dark, I can't see clearly, so I want to confirm a few more times. Miss, please come in quickly. Why did you come to the county town so late today? You didn't even let us go to meet you."
Shen Wanning walked into the Lin residence. Mo Dong looked outside the door a few more times before coming in and locking the door.
"I came here this afternoon with the people who delivered the saplings. We went directly to the farm. It took some time to plant the grape saplings today. I walked from the farm, so I came back so late." Shen Wanning explained.
"Then Miss, please go to bed early and don't go out at night." Mo Dong took a lantern and sent Shen Wanning back to her room.
"Mo Dong, is there something you haven't told me? Why are you so cautious today?" Shen Wanning paused and turned her head to look at Mo Dong.
Mo Dong forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Miss, you're overthinking it. Maybe you're tired these past few days and are a little suspicious."
"Mo Dong, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with your business? Are you afraid that I will blame you, so you dare not tell me?" Shen Wanning refused to leave and stood there.
"That's not the case. Business is booming! The milk tea is sold out before dark every day, so there's no way anything could go wrong. Plus, the county magistrate is a frequent visitor, so ordinary people wouldn't dare to cause trouble." Mo Dong shook his head and said seriously.
"Then why are you acting so strangely today?"
"I'm just tired. I've had nightmares these past few days, so I'm a little scared at night." Mo Dong continued stubbornly.
Although Shen Wanning had doubts in her heart, she was indeed a little tired today, so she did not pursue the matter any further and planned to ask Lin Jingce in the daytime.
Seeing that she stopped asking questions, Mo Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, Shen Wanning got up very early just to stop them.
Before Lin Jingce went out, he saw Shen Wanning leaning against the gate, with her arms crossed, looking at Lin Jingce and the eight people behind him.
"Wan Ning? When did you come to the county town?" Lin Jingce saw her standing at the door and asked.
Shen Wanning glanced at Mo Dong, who touched his nose and lowered his head.
"I came here last night. Mo Dong was guarding the door last night. What happened? Didn't he tell my brother?" She kept looking at Mo Dong while she said this.
Mo Dong said quickly, "I went to bed early yesterday and forgot about it today."
Shen Wanning then turned her gaze to Lin Jingce. When she saw his expression, she was shocked. "Brother, are you sick? Your face is pale. Do you want to find a doctor to check you out?"
Lin Jingce smiled bitterly, "I'm not sick, I'm probably just tired these past few days."
"Then brother, just rest at home today. I will take them to the milk tea shop." Shen Wanning stood up straight and said seriously.
"No need, I'd better go to the milk tea shop with you! I can't sleep at home anyway." Lin Jingce sighed, his eyes full of horror.
Shen Wanning glanced at the other people again. Most of them had pale faces and dark circles around their eyes, as if their energy had been sucked away by ghosts.
"What's wrong with you? You all look pale, with dark circles under your eyes, like ghosts. Fortunately, it's daytime now. If you go out at night, people will be scared to death by you." Shen Wanning couldn't help but ask curiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people standing at the door couldn't help but shudder. Lin Jingce swallowed and said, "Wan Ning, please don't mention ghosts. It's unlucky. If it really comes true, it will be disastrous."
"Brother, just tell me the truth. What's going on? You've been staying in the county town for the past few days and haven't returned home. And today you guys are acting so strangely. I can't guarantee that I won't think too much."
Lin Jingce spread his hands and said, "Okay, this matter will be revealed sooner or later anyway, so I'll just tell you straight out. There's a ghost in our house." He pointed at the house and whispered as he said this.
Shen Wanning frowned slightly, "Brother, the talk about ghosts and gods is nonsense. Why do you still believe in these things?"
Lin Jingce sighed, "If someone else had told me this, I wouldn't have believed it. But we've all experienced this in the past few days. We originally thought it was someone pretending to be us, but after searching for days, we couldn't find anyone. If it's not a ghost, what else could it be?"
"What does that ghost look like? I'd like to see it for myself." Shen Wanning crossed her arms in front of her chest, her brows cold.
Mo Dong looked around mysteriously before speaking, "What I saw was a person with disheveled hair and a long tongue sticking out of his mouth, like a hanged ghost!"
"I don't believe there are ghosts in this world! If there are ghosts, it can only be the ghosts in people's hearts! By the way, why didn't I see any ghosts last night?" Speaking of this, Shen Wanning was a little confused again.
Lin Jingce was also puzzled. "Yeah, I'm puzzled too! This ghost has been coming out to scare people for several nights in a row. Why is it that as soon as you come back, Wan Ning, the ghost doesn't dare to appear? Could it be that you are really a blessed person like mother said, so even ghosts don't dare to mess with you?"
"Whether it's a real ghost or a fake one, I'm going to find them today," Shen Wanning said with narrowed eyes. "Brother, you guys go to the milk tea shop first. I'll be home. I want to see if this ghost comes out again during the day."
"That won't work. How can we leave you alone at home when we know it's not safe? Come with us to the milk tea shop. At night, we can just stay up all night and wait for those ghosts to come out in the main room together." Lin Jingce frowned.
Shen Wanning didn't refuse, she responded and went to the milk tea shop with them. The milk tea shop was still the same as before, full of guests and no empty seats.
After selling the milk tea, they found a restaurant to have dinner and then returned to Lin’s house together.
However, Shen Wanning did not agree with Lin Jingce's statement. Everyone gathered together to wait for the ghost to come. If there was no ghost, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Why don't we all go to the room in the backyard to rest together. If there is any noise, we can shout at the top of our lungs and they will be able to hear it.
No one was staying in the gatehouse tonight, and ten people slept in a row in the side room.
Thinking about the ghosts everyone was talking about, Shen Wanning couldn't sleep and sat in front of her phone chatting with netizens late at night.
Liu Ye Qing Qing: Do you think that maybe someone saw that Nv Goose’s milk tea business was so successful that they wanted to harm Nv Goose?
I Love Wangzai: I think it's unlikely. This is obviously not a good idea. Besides, Nue's milk tea business is unique and it's not competing with others.
A thunderbolt in the sky: I wish this was a real ghost, I have never seen a ghost!
Handsome Prince: Stop talking nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world! Have all these years of learning materialism been in vain?
Peppa Pig: That’s right, we have to believe in science.
