Chapter 180: The Red Flower Girl Has Arrived

Upon hearing Xin Xiangyun's words, the assistant and the others fell silent for a moment, looking at her speechlessly.

Although this village is located deep in the mountains, it has electricity and internet access, and a winding mountain road has been built so that cars can come in. How could the villagers not have seen a car before!

They just saw some villagers holding smartphones. Their living conditions aren't great, but they're not this backward!

However, Xin Xiangyun was their boss, so even though they had a lot of complaints in their hearts, they didn't dare to say them directly to her face.

The assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, "I saw other cars in the village, they belonged to the villagers themselves, they must have seen the cars before."

Why is that?

Xin Xiangyun felt a surge of irritation as she thought about how she hadn't had enough to eat or a place to sleep that day.

"We've asked so many households, even raising the price to a thousand a night, but they still won't take us in. I'm really fed up with the people here; they don't even know how to make money! No wonder they're always so poor!"

The assistant couldn't help but complain, "And when we asked them why they wouldn't let us stay overnight, they wouldn't say. Some people were even more unreasonable and tried to kick us out of the village."

Hearing his assistant say that, the driver replied, "Then don't bother looking. Just make do in the car for the night. We're leaving tomorrow morning anyway."

Xin Xiangyun was still very unwilling.

"What's wrong with our car? I can't sleep until we figure this out! All of you get out of the car, let's check what's wrong with it!"

"Okay, let's get out of the car and take a look."

Upon hearing Xin Xiangyun's words, they all grabbed flashlights and got out of the car to inspect it.

"The car isn't broken."

As the driver inspected the vehicle, he muttered, "What's wrong? This is really strange."

Just as he finished muttering that, a terrified scream suddenly came from the side.

"ah!"

Xin Xiangyun and the other two women were startled by the shout and stood frozen in place. It was the driver who reacted first and turned to look.

He shone his flashlight and saw a person lying on the road. He said, "Don't be afraid, this is a villager who is passing by."

After the driver finished speaking, he went over and helped the villager up. "Are you alright?"

"You...you let me go!"

After the villagers got up, they looked at their car with horror and turned to run away.

But the driver was quite strong and held onto his arm tightly.

The villagers were about to cry.

"Big brother, let me go! I need to go home! If I don't go home, I'll die!"

The driver frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Let me go first!"

The driver still wouldn't let go, saying, "Explain yourself clearly. Also, you've been staring at our car the whole time. What's wrong with our car?"

The villagers said, trembling, "Red Flower Girl, it's Red Flower Girl! There's Red Flower Girl in your car!"

The driver and the others exchanged glances, all looking puzzled, unable to understand what the villagers were saying.

The driver pressed on, asking, "And what is this?"

"It's...it's a ghost! You've been possessed by a ghost!"

The villager was trembling as he said this, "Brother, please let me go! I'm the only child in my family. If I die, no one will take care of my parents. Please let me go home!"

The driver was incredibly brave; after listening, he glanced around their car but still couldn't see anything wrong.

He said somewhat displeasedly, "There are no ghosts in this world, don't talk nonsense and try to fool me! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you go back tonight!"

"I'm not making this up!"

The villagers quickly explained, "Red Flower Girl is from our village. She lived to be over ninety years old. Not only did she show no signs of dying, but her appetite also got better and better, and she even grew teeth. Her son and daughter-in-law thought she was a monster, so they dug a pit on the mountain and locked her up there."

As time went on, her son and daughter-in-law stopped bringing her food, and she starved to death. So when she died, she was filled with resentment and refused to be reincarnated in the underworld. Instead, she wandered in the mountains and even returned to eat her daughter-in-law's newborn son!

Upon hearing this, Xin Xiangyun scoffed, "Are you making this up? A person in their nineties has lost all their teeth and can't even eat properly, how could they possibly grow new teeth?"
