Chapter 210 Haunted

Fu Qingci simply walked outside, intending to go to the cornfield to pluck some corn.

The nights in Changqing Village are very quiet. The elderly and children in the village go to bed early and rarely go out for a stroll late at night.

Therefore, many people have complained about this place before, feeling that it is not worth coming because there is no nightlife.

He had a smooth journey without encountering anyone else, which relieved him a little.

He originally intended to pick a couple of ears of corn and leave, but looking at such a large cornfield, he suddenly realized that no one would notice if he picked a few more.

Unfortunately, I didn't bring a bag when I went out, so I had to use my clothes to carry it.

After finishing picking the corn, Fu Qingci was about to leave when she suddenly heard a rustling sound not far away.

He felt a chill run down his spine and froze on the spot.

After autumn arrives, the nights become a bit cooler.

A cold wind blew by, raising goosebumps on the back of his neck.

Although he was a materialist, he couldn't help but overthink things when he encountered such a thing in the pitch-black remote mountain village.

Fu Qingci swallowed hard. He wanted to run away, but his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground and he couldn't move an inch.

As the sound drew closer, he was so frightened he wanted to scream.

But when it opened its mouth, it made a "whimpering" sound, which sounded like it was crying.

He was so ashamed that he frantically clawed at the ground with his toes, but he couldn't control himself; it was just too terrifying.

At the same time, Yan Zhendong and Shi Laoliu were preparing to take their things and move around.

They brought herbicide and prepared to spray it all over Yan Sui's large plot of land.

As soon as he came down, Shi Laoliu became greedy for the corn.

Yan Zhendong couldn't stop him at all, so he had no choice but to come down and pick corn with him.

As soon as I stepped down, I heard a strange cry.

Shi Laoliu shuddered. "You...you heard me?"

Yan Zhendong's eyes showed fear. He hadn't been back to Changqing Village for a long time and no longer felt familiar with the village.

Why would there be crying sounds coming from the field out of nowhere?

"It's all your fault! Why did you have to come and steal the corn? Get out of here!"

Old Shi was so frightened that his legs went weak; he was most afraid of these mystical things.

He gripped Yan Zhendong's trouser leg tightly, saying, "I can't get up."

Yan Zhendong was furious. "You useless piece of trash! I won't pay you if you don't get the job done!"

"Help me up quickly, I feel a chill, like something is touching me." Old Shi was trembling with fear.

The back of his neck felt itchy, as if something was touching it.

Yan Zhendong wanted to help him up, but Shi Laoliu was too heavy. Not only did he fail to lift him up, but he was also pulled down by him. The two of them fell into a heap, damaging a lot of corn.

"You idiot, get up right now!"

"My legs are numb, I can't get up!"

Fu Qingci had already scrambled up there.

He broke out in a cold sweat, and the night wind made the hairs on his body stand on end.

He couldn't help but look back; there seemed to be some movement somewhere in the cornfield.

Fu Qingci dared not delay any longer and hurriedly ran back.

As soon as I entered, I saw Yan Sui come out.

Where did you go so late at night?

Fu Qingci, panting heavily, said with fear in her eyes, "There are ghosts in the cornfield, this place is unclean!"

Yan Sui caught the key point: "You stole my corn!"

“I didn’t steal it!” Fu Qingci immediately retorted.

Yan Sui held up her flashlight and pointed it downwards. "So what's in your pocket?"

Fu Qingci cursed inwardly. She was so scared that she forgot she had two ears of corn in her pocket.

"I'm hungry, what's wrong with me eating two ears of corn? I'll pay for it!"

Yan Sui snorted, "Stealing is stealing, I've never seen a thief act so self-righteously."

But she shouldn't deal with Fu Qingci right now; she needs to go check on the fields.

They hadn't gone far when they met Aunt Ruan.

"Yan Sui, what are you doing out here?"

Yan Sui: "I was about to ask you the same thing, what are you doing out here?"

Aunt Ruan wrapped her coat tighter and said, "I heard a noise just now, so I came out to take a look."

Yan Sui explained to her, "Fu Qingci went to steal corn from the field, saying that the cornfield was haunted."

Aunt Ruan was greatly surprised. This young man looked respectable, yet he was doing petty theft.

That's utterly shameless!

Should we call the police?

"No need yet. I called my uncle and will go check on him first."

After all, no one knows whether Fu Qingci was telling the truth or not.

When she and Aunt Ruan arrived at the cornfield, Shi Laoliu and Yan Zhendong were still lingering in the field.

Shi Laoliu was terrified. His whole body stiffened and he broke out in a cold sweat, huddled on the ground trembling.

Yan Zhendong already regretted it. If he had known that Yan Zhendong was so unreliable, he would never have asked him to come over.

"Are you sure you can handle this? If you're not going to continue, I'm leaving."

Who wants to spend the whole night with him here?

Old Shi hugged his leg, "Let's stop working here, this place is unclean, it's haunted! I always thought Yan Sui was weird, and she really is!"

Yan Zhendong wanted nothing more than to kick him to death, but Shi Laoliu was holding onto his leg, so he couldn't move.

"If you don't dare to do it, then get lost! I'll do it myself! What ghosts and ghosts? I really don't believe in ghosts!"

He was determined to teach Yan Sui a lesson today, no matter what.

"Let go of me right now!"

"No! I'm scared!"

Yan Zhendong was furious with him. "If you're scared, then get back home! I don't need you anymore, I can do it myself."

Old Shi refused, "I'm too scared to walk alone, you have to come with me!"

"Don't hug me so tightly!"

"No, don't go!"

"It's too tight, loosen it!"

"It can't be loosened even a little bit!"

Aunt Ruan and Yan Sui slowly approached, and their conversation was carried to their ears by the wind.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment on each other's faces.

Who would have thought that Yan Zhendong and Shi Laoliu would be having an affair here!

The world is going to the dogs!

Aunt Ruan flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.

It's unbearable to look at!

Yan Sui followed, but these two had nothing to do with her, so she had no right to catch them in the act.

They hadn't gone far when they bumped into Yan Shunzhong.

He didn't come alone; he was followed by a group of people.

Yan Sui asked in surprise, "Uncle, why did you bring so many people with you?"

Yan Shunzhong: "This concerns our Changqing Village, so of course we have to call on everyone to participate."

Yan Sui's farm is the backbone of Changqing Village; without it, the village cannot function.

Upon hearing that something was wrong, everyone followed without saying a word.

"Sui Sui, what happened?"

Yan Sui touched her nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Aunt Ruan spat and said with disgust, "There's no ghost, it's just that Old Shi and someone went into the cornfield!"

As soon as she said that, everyone's expression changed.

Especially Shi Laoliu's wife, who immediately ran out from the crowd.

"Ruan Xiuhua, you're talking nonsense! How could my man do such a shameless thing!"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Yan Shunzhong's eyes as he looked at her and asked, "Is your man home?"

She was timid and hesitant, not daring to meet Yan Shunzhong's gaze, and stammered, unable to answer.

Aunt Ruan said disdainfully, "He not only went into the cornfield, but he went in with Yan Zhendong! Yan Sui and I heard it all clearly. They're probably all out of bed by now. If you don't believe me, go down and see for yourself!"
