Chapter 1105 The Returnee's Notes 179
Because she never believed in ghosts, even though sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts.
But ghosts are uncontrollable, which means that even ghosts themselves cannot control themselves. Once they lose control, the consequences are unimaginable.
Unless the person cooperating with the ghost has great confidence that they can suppress the other party, such cooperation is naturally not a problem, or they have no choice but to cooperate.
Qingshi Town... is probably the latter.
The old lady sighed, "...The formation that was set up back then trapped the ghosts, but it also trapped the people in Qing Shi Town."
The ghosts in the lake are connected by blood to the descendants of Qing Shi Town, and have a unique connection with them. Some ghosts with strong consciousness but gentler nature will subconsciously protect their descendants, and that year's wife should be one of them.
And for some who are inherently evil...
The old lady glanced at the setting sun, which had completely disappeared, leaving only a warm glow between the mountains, waters, and lakes. Soon, this glow would vanish completely, giving way to a starless and moonless night.
"This bond can give them a chance to return to the human world, which means... to exchange their lives."
Therefore, while the people of Qing Shi Town are working hard to solve their own problems, they also cooperate with outsiders, such as with people like them.
The Soul-Stabbing Umbrella isn't paid for with money.
"It's getting dark, you should go back to your room first. I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow. Remember to close the windows, and don't be curious no matter what sounds you hear."
Then the old lady pointed to the oil lamp on the table and said, "As long as the oil lamp is still lit, the room is safe."
Therefore, the people of Qingshi Town never turn off their lights when they go to sleep.
"Knock knock—"
It was the woman who had been standing behind the counter; she was also the innkeeper.
She was carrying a food box. Seeing Xie Ning in the old lady's room, she wasn't surprised. She just said, "You're late. There's no hot water left for bathing. There's still food warming up in the kitchen. You can rest after dinner."
I'll come back to collect the lunchboxes tomorrow morning, but of course, I'll wait until you all come out to collect them yourself.
Dinner was simple: just a plate of stir-fried vegetables and steamed egg, served with two bowls of rice.
It doesn't seem like a good deal to pay 10,000 yuan a day for a room, but there's no other choice; this is the only guesthouse that caters to visitors.
Moreover, from another perspective, this 10,000 yuan was still worthwhile.
After all, the room is safe at night. Both the windows and doors are made of special wood and have runes engraved on them, which can prevent those things from getting in.
Xie Ning didn't recognize the rune. There were similar ones in the book, but she still planned to write them down so that she could modify them and use them herself when she studied them more deeply in the future.
And then there's this oil lamp... Xie Ning remembered the oil lamp the boatman lit on the boat, and thought to himself, these two shouldn't be the same, right?
Black Egg had the biggest complaint about the meal because the kitten didn't like rice, let alone vegetables, though it would eat a little bit of egg.
Fortunately, Xie Ning brought some cat food, otherwise Heidan would have had to go out to hunt for food late at night.
Meow~
Black Egg hooked Xie Ning's hand with its tail to show its approval.
This time, the two of them not only brought their cat along, but also Xi'er, because Xie Ning planned to go on a three-day trip to the north to send Xi'er off after ordering the Soul Umbrella, and then return to school.
As darkness fell, Xie Ning returned to her room at the urging of the old lady. The room was simply furnished with a four-poster bed, a square table, and a changing area behind a screen.
It is indeed retro, or rather, because it is isolated from the outside world, many things in Qing Shi Town have retained their original appearance. At the very least, this bed and table are at least a hundred years old.
The bedding wasn't that old, and it looked like it had just been aired out; it was still a little warm.
Perhaps because Xie Ning always feeds the cat delicious food, Heidan now likes to stick close to Xie Ning. Tonight, instead of sleeping next to the old lady's bed, it jumped onto Xie Ning's bed.
It rolled over, which prompted Xie Ning to immediately pick it up and wipe the soles of its paws with a tissue soaked in tea.
"Black Egg, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
