"You, really know everything!"
Ma Yingbei pleaded in a dry tone, "I know you're very powerful, but I have no choice but to ask you for help. Some of my elders are out on missions and can't make it back for the time being. Although Grandpa is powerful, he's old. If I ask him to go out, he might be harmed. Besides, he's still in the mountains, so I don't know where he's coming from."
"That's my third uncle. He should have come down the mountain around the same time as me. This time, his mission was to search for someone at Pang's residence in Pangjia Village. He's quite capable, but after going there this time, there was no news at all. I suspect he couldn't get out of Pang's residence. If it's too late, it will be too late!"
"Wen Xi, don't worry. Our Ma family has been a family of Xuanmen for generations, and we are not short of money. As long as you are willing to take me on a trip, I will definitely pay you after the matter is completed."
"good!"
"So, please, can I...huh? What? What did you just say??"
Ma Yingbei thought that it would take a lot of talking and wanted to say a few more words, but after hearing Wen Xi's agreement, he was still a little dazed.
"Wen Xi, do you agree?"
"Aside from your brain, are your ears also not good?"
Wen Xi said sarcastically, "Let's meet at the school gate later, and you can drive over to pick me up."
“Okay, okay!”
Ma Yingbei agreed immediately and was extremely excited.
It was just getting light outside. Wen Xi had only slept for three hours when he was woken up. He scratched his hair, and when he was no longer sleepy, he simply changed his clothes and went out.
She arrived at the school gate early and Ma Yingbei was already waiting for her at the intersection in a car.
"Wen Xi, here!"
When Ma Yingbei saw her, his eyes lit up and he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her.
After both of them got in the car, Ma Yingbei drove eagerly towards Pangjia Village.
"Wen Xi, I thought you wouldn't agree to me."
"Just by the way."
Wen Xi had a cold expression. If she hadn't promised 'Zhang's Flower' to bring Zhang Xianren out and make some money at the same time, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
"Don't say that, Wen Xi. I've discovered that you are definitely a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Ma Yingbei grinned, feeling that his intuition was very accurate.
Wen Xi glanced at him and said, "You are really silly and cute!"
cute?
The new goddess praised him for being cute!
Ma Yingbei's handsome face turned red in an instant, and he felt awkward, even slowing down his driving speed.
Ouch!
He really didn't even listen to the first two words!
Pangjia Village is at the junction of Changjing City and Hanzhou City, and it takes at least two hours to drive there. Wen Xi took a nap in the car. When they arrived at the destination, Ma Yingbei gently patted her arm.
"Wen Xi, we're here."
Wen Xi slowly opened his eyes, his amber pupils rolled around, and he looked out the window, finding that they were at the foot of a mountain.
"Can't the car drive up?"
Wen Xi tidied her hair before getting out of the car.
They drove all the way from Changjing City, and the weather was good the whole time. But when they arrived at Pangjia Village, the sky was covered with dark clouds.
"There's no main road up there, only a small path. Cars can't drive up there, so you have to climb up."
Ma Yingbei pointed to the path next to him, picked up a shoulder bag, and prepared to go up.
"Are you from out of town?"
An old voice came from behind. Ma Yingbei and Wen Xi looked back together and saw an elderly man with many wrinkles on his face, silver hair, and a cane in his hand. He looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old.
"Yes, are you a villager from Pangjia Village?"
Wen Xi asked him with a gentle smile.
The old man gently touched the ground with his cane, a hint of coldness in his cloudy eyes. "Little girl, I see you look kind, and I see you're going up the mountain, so I called you. I advise you to leave here, don't go up, otherwise you won't be able to come down."
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and said calmly, "Don't worry, old man. We will definitely be able to get down the mountain safely. We won't add any more haunted incidents to your Pangjia Village."
The old man looked at her in surprise and asked, "You know Pangjia Village is haunted, and you still want to go there?"
He shook his head again. "Not to mention outsiders, even the villagers in our Pangjia Village have moved away, and those who went out to work have never returned. Only a group of us old people are left, loving our homeland and staying here, waiting to be buried on this land when we die."
"Doesn't the haunting of the Pang residence above affect you?"
"How could it be completely unaffected? I still remember it. It was a rainy night. My son was just born. I was running all the way home. When I stood at this intersection, I felt someone staring at me. I looked up and saw someone in white clothes halfway up the mountain. He was staring at a bloody face and smiling at me with a cold and strange look!
I was so scared that I slipped and fell, and the rain washed over my eyes. When I wiped the rain off and opened my eyes again, there was nothing halfway up the mountain. It was as if I had hallucinated, but I was sure that I had seen something I shouldn't have seen.
The old man couldn't stop shaking when he talked about this incident. "After the weather cleared up, I burned paper money at the foot of the mountain for five days and six nights straight. Only then did I feel at ease! I felt so bad after just one look, let alone the people who broke into Pang's house. I've seen quite a few of those crazy tourists. I even saw a man gouge his own eyes out after rushing down the mountain!"
Ma Yingbei frowned and said, "Dig out the eyeballs? That's quite a vivid picture. Uncle San also said that the evil spirits here are very strong, so he personally took action. I didn't expect that they are even more powerful than I imagined."
Wen Xi nodded slightly. "Old man, can I ask you a question? Who owned the Pang Mansion upstairs before? It's become so haunted, and their descendants don't care about it?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "You really asked the right person. I am one of the oldest people in the village. It is said that when I was still a baby, the Pang family was still thriving. When I just learned to walk, everyone in the Pang family died. I don't know how they died. This is a taboo in Pangjia Village!"
As for their descendants? Tsk, they're all dead, so how could there be any descendants? There was once a relative who wanted the land deed here and took a feng shui master to take a look, but he was scared away. Those who went in either couldn't get out or went crazy. Who would dare to touch that place again! "
Wen Xi looked up at the old house halfway up the mountain, which was hidden by many trees. He could vaguely see the black roof.
She said softly, "Such a big house, there must be a lot of people living there. So many people died, how is it possible that no one knows the reason?"
