It was as if everyone didn't see her at all.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang naturally did not dare to easily reveal Lin Xi's location.
After a busy period, it was three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, almost everyone on the street had gone to bed.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang also lay down, but they couldn't sleep at all because they were worried about what might happen in a while.
The two estimated the time and felt that if nothing unexpected happened, there would be a knock on the door soon.
Just as they guessed, a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
What surprised the couple was that the knock on the door today only sounded once and then disappeared.
As usual, the knocking sound would continue for several times, then stop for a while, and then continue knocking again.
Could it be that Master Lin Xi has already caught that "thing"?
Just as the couple was guessing, Lin Xi's voice was heard at the door.
"Boss Zhang, you can come out now."
Upon hearing this, Boss Zhang and his wife immediately got out of bed as quickly as possible and walked out the door.
After opening the door, the two only looked at Lin Xi and didn't see anything else.
Boss Zhang asked cautiously, "Master, did you catch that thing?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Boss Zhang quickly asked.
"Where is that thing?"
Hearing this, Lin Xi looked at Boss Zhang hesitantly and asked, "Don't you feel a little cold?"
Boss Zhang didn't react at all. He just rubbed his arms subconsciously and answered honestly.
"The temperature has dropped recently, and it's a bit cold at night."
Then he added another sentence.
"It's likely to drop even more tonight, and it seems to be a little colder than the last few nights."
Lin Xi: “…”
Lin Xi had no choice but to wave her hand, motioning Boss Zhang and his wife to come to her side, and then opened temporary Yin-Yang eyes for them.
As soon as his Yin-Yang eyes were opened, Boss Zhang subconsciously looked around.
When I saw this, I almost jumped up in fright.
It turned out that there was an extra figure where he had just stood!
The figure was transparent, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not a human.
No wonder Lin Xi suddenly asked him if he was cold just now. It turned out that he was standing next to the ghost!
Seeing that Lao Zhang and his wife had both seen the ghost, Lin Xi symbolically asked them if they recognized the ghost.
The couple then suppressed their fear and looked at the ghost carefully.
After a moment, they both shook their heads.
This ghost looks quite old, at least seventy or eighty years old.
Among the relatives and friends they know, this should be the age of their uncles.
But they are not locals. Even their uncles and aunts are all in their hometown. It is impossible for them to follow them all the way here.
Not only did they not recognize it, the two were also certain that they had never seen this ghost at all!
In this case, Boss Zhang and his men at least have no direct grudge against this ghost.
Even if there are grudges, they should be one-sided.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi took off the talisman on the ghost, and after the ghost regained its freedom, he asked him directly.
"Tell me, why are you knocking on someone else's door in the middle of the night?"
The ghost was frozen by Lin Xi just after he knocked on the door.
After being a ghost for decades, this was the first time he met Master Xie, and he was almost scared to death.
Therefore, even though Lin Xi's tone was not serious, he did not dare to hide anything and quickly told the truth honestly.
The ghost trembled and said, "Master, I really don't have any other intentions. I don't want to do anything. I just want to go home..."
Want to go home?
Lao Zhang and his wife looked at each other, and both thought of a possibility.
"You're not thinking of our store as your home, are you?"
Based on the ghost's narration and the situations they had encountered during this period, it was hard for the two of them not to think about this speculation.
When the ghost heard this, he immediately waved his hands.
"No, no, your store is not my home."
If it wasn't his house, why did the ghost keep knocking on their door?
It can't be that I've come to the wrong place, right?
Just when Lao Zhang was thinking this, the next second, he heard the ghost explaining in a low voice.
"Your shop is the front door of my home..."
What? !
“Our store is the front door of your home?”
Lao Zhang and his wife looked at the ghost in disbelief, then turned around and looked at the store they rented.
Although this store is not as big as other stores on the street, it is still about ten square meters in size, and the interior width is about three meters.
Apart from the fact that it was not on the same level as the stores on the left, Lao Zhang and his friends did not think there was anything special about this store.
Now this ghost says that their store is the front door of his home?
Whose front door occupies such a wide area and is also a room?
Seeing that Lao Zhang and the others didn't believe it, the ghost became anxious and explained again.
"This location is really the front door of my house! My house is right behind it. It's been there for hundreds of years and has never moved!"
As a result, his house was still there, but when he died and came back, he found that the door had changed.
It used to have two imposing wooden doors with stone lions on either side, but now it has become a small and narrow house like this.
If he hadn't lived here for decades, he probably wouldn't have recognized the structure of his own home.
As he spoke, the ghost led Lao Zhang and the others to the alley next to him, saying as he walked, "Here, here, and here, these are all my territory. My main house is here."
The main house that the ghost pointed to was exactly the house that Lin Xi had seen an hour ago.
Following the ghost's guidance, Lao Zhang and his wife immediately showed shocked expressions.
After looking at the area circled by the ghost, Lao Zhang asked hesitantly.
"Excuse me, when did you die?"
The ghost recalled for a moment and then told the year of his death.
When they heard this, they realized that the ghost had been dead for more than a hundred years!
Over the course of a hundred years, as generations passed and generations came and went, his family's mansion was sold or even requisitioned for various reasons.
In a nutshell, as of now, except for the so-called main house, all the other wing rooms and side yards of his house have been moved.
