"Was someone at our house last night?"
Jiang Dai repeated it in confusion, and then she immediately thought of something.
"How did you know? Did you run into them in the middle of the night? Were you hurt?"
Bai Yunxing was somewhat surprised that his mother could think of this.
He was silent for a moment, but still told the truth: "I didn't see him, but last night my third brother went out to relieve himself, and that's when I heard the noise, and..."
"I think I also heard my sister's voice."
Jiang Dai: ...
No, how come she didn't know that Juanjuan went out in the middle of the night?
Bai Tian also said he didn't know!
Even though he was sleeping on the outermost side, he really didn't notice Juanjuan getting out of bed and leaving the house!
"Can you tell me, Father, how did you determine that someone really came last night?"
Bai Tian decided to change the subject.
Faced with his father's questioning, Bai Yunxing recounted in detail the anomalies he had discovered that morning and his guesses.
Bai Yunxing looked at his parents, who were deep in thought about this matter, and also had his own thoughts in mind.
There's no need to hide this or try to be a hero.
After all, his body is still that of a child, which is too restrictive. If his parents are not informed, the whole family will not be able to take precautions, and if there is any oversight, it will be a big problem.
Moreover, my parents seem more reliable than ordinary country folk, even though they sometimes don't act like parents at all.
However, Bai Yunxing could not deny that his parents' vision and decision-making ability were not necessarily inferior among the nobles in the capital.
"I'm afraid it's Zhenxiulou. The Bai family wouldn't be so cunning."
Bai Tian provided the answer.
"How about I ask Shiwei Restaurant for help?"
Bai Yunxing then took the opportunity to express his own slightly ulterior motives.
He also felt it was most likely Zhenxiulou, so asking Shiwei Restaurant for help would be the most convenient thing to do.
Perhaps he could even ask that young lady from the capital to help him send a secret letter back to Beijing.
Bai Tian nodded: "Yes, we can seek help from Shiwei Restaurant for this matter, but we can't rely on Shiwei Restaurant entirely."
"I'll go check if our knives are finished. If not, I'll bring back two more, just for the two of us."
Jiang Dai added, "Take some more rice and flour to Aunt Wang so the children can squeeze in at Da Chui's house tonight."
Bai Yunxing listened from the side and thought that his parents... were indeed alright.
He volunteered, "Then I'll go to town!"
Just as Bai Yunqi walked over, triggering the keyword, he exclaimed, "Going to town? I'm going too!"
Going to town is great! You can find good stuff there!
Jiang Dai: "The four of you are going to Da Chui's house and to town today! We're not going today!"
"Mother, how about..."
Bai Yunxing continued to try to seize the opportunity.
Jiang Dai patted her second son's head: "No need, there might be danger in town, how can we let you go alone! Your father and mother will protect you!"
Bai Yunxing: ...
Having such wonderful parents can also be a source of trouble.
...
Zhenxiulou.
"Uncle Kang, there's something strange about that family. Their house is haunted..."
Wang Maquan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Her voice trembled with fear as she recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
Kang An looked at the thin man weeping bitterly in front of him, pondered for a long time, and still couldn't help but ask again.
Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place? Are you not lying? Is everything true?
It doesn't sound like it's true.
What? A little devil pops up in the middle of the night, possessing magical powers, and with a flick of his finger, he can make people feel like they've been struck by lightning.
"It's absolutely true! Mr. Kang, I'm definitely not going. Just settle the bill for me!"
Wang Maquan was truly terrified by what he had experienced last night.
Especially that fruit, which he didn't know what it was, was terribly bitter, and the way the child violently squeezed the juice made him want to vomit even now when he thinks about it.
To prevent poisoning, he went to the clinic early this morning.
He was relieved after the doctor examined him and confirmed that he was alright.
Under Wang Maquan's watchful gaze, Kang An took out a heavy piece of gold.
The gold nugget was tossed up and down in Kang An's hand, and Wang Maquan's gaze couldn't help but move up and down with it.
Kang An asked, "Don't you find this family so strange interesting?"
Wang Maquan shook his head. "What the hell does that mean? You're terrifying!"
But as he looked at the piece of gold and recalled Kang An's words, he realized what it meant and began to nod again.
Seeing Wang Maquan's reaction, Kang An casually tossed the gold nugget in his hand to him, and gave him an instruction:
"This noon, gather some more people and go to the Bai family! I want to see if there really is something fishy going on!"
Wang Maquan held the gold nugget and happily tucked it into his pocket: "Then I'll go find someone right now!"
Ghosts? Where are there any ghosts?!
So many people went together, and it was the middle of the day!
What is there to be afraid of in Wangmaquan?
