Zhang Guocai thought so in his heart, he quietly got up and walked out.
Zhang Guocai didn't dare to get too close, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.
He saw the shadow go to the house across the street. If he remembered correctly, the owner of that house had just moved out this morning. How could someone move in so quickly? That was pretty fast.
Especially in this remote village, unless you really have nowhere to live, or you have no land, no job, and even have trouble surviving, who would want the shabby house here?
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Zhang Guocai always kept this sentence in mind.
In his opinion, the owner of this house had passed away and the house had been empty for at least a year and a half. It was impossible for someone to move in so soon.
Zhang Guocai watched the dark figure take out the key from his pocket and go in. He saw a kerosene lamp lit in the room.
The door of the room was not closed, and Zhang Guocai could only see a vague shadow from a distance.
The shadow was slender and looked like a woman.
Which woman is so brave that she would not sleep in the middle of the night and run to their remote mountain place?
Zhang Guocai walked forward a little further, his body already close to the edge of the yard. The people in the house were sitting on chairs against the wall with their heads down.
Zhang Guocai couldn't see her face clearly, but he felt that her figure and appearance were somewhat familiar.
He stood at the door and waited for a long time, but the man didn't look up.
Zhang Guocai was getting a little impatient. Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the room and blew out the kerosene lamp. The people in the room screamed in fright.
The dark shadow quickly stood up and quickly closed the door outside, and the light in the room came on again.
Jiang Li saw that the door of his house was open but his uncle was nowhere to be seen, so he walked out curiously.
From a distance, Jiang Li saw a shadow that looked very much like her uncle. She lowered her voice and called out softly, "Uncle, uncle, uncle, is that you?"
"Shh-"
Zhang Guocai put his finger to his lips and made a gesture of silence.
Jiang Li slowed down and walked to her uncle's side. She turned her head to look at the lights on in the house next door.
"Is there anyone living here?"
Jiang Li asked in a voice that only his uncle could hear. Zhang Guocai nodded and also spoke in a low voice.
"I just saw it was a woman."
Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat. She had seen a TV drama before in which Nao Nao was taken away by Song Jialin and her aunt.
As soon as the neighbor moved out, someone moved into his empty house. It's impossible for houses in the countryside to be so popular.
Based on previous experience, Jiang Li seriously suspected that the person living here was Song Jialin or Zhang Yuhua, or perhaps the mother and daughter came together.
Just now, the cold wind outside blew out the kerosene lamp, and Song Jialin was shocked.
She was not very courageous to begin with, and now she was asked to live alone in this deep forest, she felt a little scared.
What she feared most was that some unclean things would come into the house, and she would be scared to death.
My mother has ruined her reputation in the village. If something really happens to her here, there's a high chance these villagers won't help her, unless...
Song Jialin touched her pocket, which contained 200 yuan in change. If she used the money to bribe someone, maybe she could get the job done.
The cold wind outside was howling, constantly blowing into the house. The temperature on the mountain was obviously lower than that at the foot of the mountain. Song Jialin was shivering with cold after sitting in the main room for just a while.
She hurried to the room inside. The room had already been decorated, and the sheets and quilts were new, very thick and warm.
Song Jialin took off her shoes and got into the cold bed. She shivered from the cold.
"Why is this damn place so cold? I'm almost frozen to death! Jiang Li, it's all your fault. You're so ungrateful! If you had just sent the child here, why would I have to live in a place like this and suffer like this?"
Song Jialin was full of resentment. She wanted to get up and fill a hot water bottle for herself, but then she remembered that there was no fire in the house and it was freezing cold without even a hot water.
She crawled into the bed and wrapped herself tightly, thinking that as long as she slept here for a while, her whole body would become warm.
But the reality is that Song Jialin was very weak. After lying in bed for more than ten minutes, she not only did not feel warm, but felt colder as she slept.
She hugged herself tightly with her hands, shaking her body constantly, then arched her body into a ball, trying to keep her bodies as close together as possible, so that she could feel some warmth.
Jiang Li and his uncle stood at the door of the house next door for a long time. Gusts of cold wind blew over, and Jiang Li felt so cold that he could not bear it anymore.
"Uncle, everyone in the house has turned off the lights. They must have gone to bed. It's going to be very cold tonight. Uncle, don't stay up too late. Just clean up and go to bed."
When Zhang Guocai heard his niece's concerned words, he quickly nodded.
"Okay, uncle will listen to Xiao Li. Let's go back. No matter whether it's a human or a ghost, we will come back tomorrow to find out what's going on."
Zhang Guocai still couldn't let it go. He had to know who was living in the house and whether there was any ulterior motive for living there.
The two of them went into the house and started to clean up. It was cold today and Jiang Li didn't sweat, so he didn't plan to take a shower.
In this cold weather, Jiang Li shivers all over every time he takes a shower. He doesn't want to be as diligent as before.
She washed her face and brushed her teeth, then went to the room to wash her body and finally soaked her feet. After completing the whole process, her body was already warm.
Jiang Li had finished his work, but his uncle was still sitting in the main room, weaving a basket quickly.
"Uncle! You just promised me~ What are you going to do when you come back?"
Zhang Guocai smiled embarrassedly, but did not stop working.
"I have only a little more to do. I'll clean up as soon as I finish this little bit."
Jiang Li sighed softly. Her uncle loved his work so much that she felt embarrassed to disturb him.
Jiang Li originally wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but after thinking about it, he went to the utility room again.
Goudan has rarely gone out recently to take care of the chicks, but the effect is obvious. The chicks, which were just a few days old, have already grown fine fluff.
There are five chicks in total, and the furry chicks can huddle together to provide each other with warmth.
Although the weather is cold now, they huddle together for warmth and will not freeze to death even without Goudan.
The chick's vitality is so tenacious. Goudan is very smart and realized this immediately.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, Master, what do you want to talk to me about? I will do my best to follow all your orders!"
Goudan yawned lazily. Ever since he had these kids, he was so busy every day that he had almost no time for himself.
The owner knows that it is busy, so apart from preparing meals for it and the children on time every day, he basically doesn't come to see it.
Goudan once vowed to his master that he would support himself, but he failed to do so and still felt a little uneasy.
"I want you to help me scare someone tonight. Would you like to go?"
