The night deepens.
Everyone was eating barbecue and talking about interesting things, and when they came to the funny parts, they all laughed.
Leng Xingqi tutted his words, "What's the point of telling jokes? Since we're in a haunted villa, we should tell some ghost stories."
"Hey, I'm afraid that if I tell you, you won't be able to sleep tonight." Ouyang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a sly smile.
Leng Xingqi looked disdainful and said, "I wouldn't dare to sleep? This is the funniest joke."
"Okay, listen carefully." Ouyang Yi looked around mysteriously.
They were all concentrating.
Except Yan Xi.
He was still thinking about that chuckle and was a little distracted.
"Rumor has it..." Ouyang Yi paused, lowered his eyes, and curled his lips slightly, "Rumor has it that in the 16th year of the Republic of China..."
The 16th year of the Republic of China.
In this deep mountain lived a family named Ji.
The eldest young master Ji Boyu and the eldest young mistress live in harmony and lead a happy life.
However, such a beautiful day was broken when the eldest lady became pregnant.
In order to take care of the pregnant eldest lady, Ji Boyu plans to hire another attentive and considerate maid.
So he went down the mountain to choose it himself.
It happened that on this day, there was a young girl who sold herself to bury her father.
The girl was seventeen years old, very graceful, and had a nice name, Qiu Rui.
Ji Boyu fell in love with her at first sight and bought her back.
Qiu Rui is not only beautiful, but also smart and a great cook, which has won the hearts of the old lady and Ji Boyu.
However, the eldest young lady noticed that Ji Boyu had special feelings for Qiu Rui, and she became jealous and made things difficult for him again and again.
Qiu Rui felt aggrieved but didn't dare to talk back, so she could only go back to her room and cry silently.
When Ji Boyu learned about this, he secretly ran to the eldest young lady's room to comfort her without telling her.
But he was not honest and touched Qiu Rui inappropriately.
Qiu Rui was terrified and threatened to call for help. Ji Boyu became angry and slapped her hard, covered her mouth and violated her.
Afterwards, Ji Boyu threatened her not to tell anyone about this, otherwise she would not be able to leave alive.
Qiu Rui could only swallow her anger, but after the first time, there would be a second time, and a third time...
The fourth time, Qiu Rui became pregnant and had severe morning sickness. How could the eldest young lady, who was eight months pregnant, not know what her symptoms were? She became angry and questioned her.
Sure enough, this child is Ji Boyu's.
The jealous eldest lady could no longer bear it and cut open the fetus in Qiu Rui's belly alive and dug it out. Both Qiu Rui and the child died.
Before she died, Qiu Rui used all her strength to say, "Even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go!"
However, the eldest young lady did not take these words seriously at all, and invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to make them suffer eternal damnation.
She thought she could rest assured, but who knew that the Taoist priest was a liar. On the seventh day after Qiu Rui's death, the villa was filled with resentment. Qiu Rui took the unborn ghost baby and killed the eldest young lady in the same way.
It is said that Qiu Rui and her fetus were buried under the fountain. Affected by the resentment, the water in the fountain is as cold as ice no matter what season it is.
Those who washed their hands and faces in the fountain during the day shuddered when they thought of the temperature of the water.
Yan Xi's face was pale, he bit his lips, and his hands were shaking a little.
Xiong Yuanke sneered disdainfully, "What's so scary about that? You're not being very precise. It doesn't make sense that Qiu Rui would only kill the eldest young mistress. The eldest young master is the culprit, so how come he's fine?"
When everyone heard this, they reacted.
Chen Menglai said angrily: "Yeah, how come he's okay? If it were me, I would definitely beat his penis to pieces."
"Actually, I don't find it that scary either." Leng Xingqi shrugged, looking calm.
Ouyang Yi smiled strangely, "Because there are more than just Qiu Rui and the ghost baby in the villa."
After saying this, he suddenly lowered his head. When he raised it again, his eyes were full of confusion. "Oh, right, where was I just now? Oh, yes, there is a rumor about a hunter..."
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
"Ouyang, what are you doing? Aren't you finished talking?"
Ouyang Yi was interrupted and looked confused. "No, I just started, didn't I?"
Everyone's face changed when they heard this, and they felt chilled to the bone.
Xiang Heng, who was as calm as ever, frowned and said, "Ouyang, stop making trouble."
Ouyang Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped, "Okay."
Yan Xi looked at him, her heart beating faster, and suddenly she felt that the barbecue in her hand no longer smelled good.
"System, tell me...is there a ghost in this villa?"
System 5555: "It's hard to say. The plot hasn't been unlocked yet, so I can't be sure."
Yan Xi: "..." Now that you say that, I'm even more scared, okay?!
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they packed up and went into the house.
There was no TV in the villa, and no one was used to going to bed so early, so Su Mo suggested turning off the lights in the villa and exploring it.
Yan Xi weakly raised a vote against it, but his objection was ineffective, so he could only follow them.
Xiang Heng held up a flashlight, walked behind Yan Xi, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He took advantage of everyone being in the front and held Yan Xi's hand.
Yan Xi froze for a moment, then quickly pulled back her hand and strode forward without looking at him, "I'm not afraid."
His hand fell empty, Xiang Heng pursed his thin lips and slowly followed.
