Chapter 58: The truth hidden in the rumors]

Ding Chun pressed her back against the wall, staring at the wall on the right side of her face with a distracted look. A small knife was half-stabbed into the wall, and the handle was still shaking slightly. The shaking cold light stung her eyes.

Her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

"It's you." The little girl who had agreed to bring wine with her.

Seeing the little girl so scared, Ye Qingyue felt a little guilty.

Her hand slipped, her hand slipped... Who made Ding Chun speak suddenly? Out of alert, her body moved before her brain moved.

Fortunately, she moved her hand at the last moment, otherwise the knife would not have been stuck in the wall.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that Ding Chun didn't move for a long time, Ye Qingyue was worried that she was scared and was about to go forward to check.

"Auntie, auntie..."

Ding Chun finally spoke, his voice trembling, "I, my leg cramps, I can't stand up..."

Ye Qingyue: "..." Well, it's all her fault.

She walked over and put away the knife on the wall, squatted beside Ding Chun, and helped Ding Chun massage his calves to relax the tense muscles.

After a while, Ding Chun's legs were healed, but he said his legs were weak again. He helped Ye Qingyue and stood up tremblingly, forcing a smile: "Auntie, you are so amazing."

Last time he lifted her over the wall, this time he almost cut a hole in her face with a knife.

In Ding Chun's eyes, Ye Qingyue's image has changed from "a big auntie who buys wine on the black market" to "a hermit who is feared by ghosts."

But Ding Chun's intuition told her that Ye Qingyue was a good person, so she wasn't very scared... The leg cramp just now didn't count, it was an emergency.

Ye Qingyue didn't explain, she got straight to the point: "Did you bring the wine?"

"Yes, I did."

Ding Chun nodded quickly and took out a bottle of wine from the backpack.

After checking the goods, Ye Qingyue handed her four dollars and fifty cents.

Ding Chun only took four dollars and pushed fifty cents to Ye Qingyue, "Auntie, you saved me last time, I don't want these fifty cents."

Seeing Ding Chun's stubborn eyes, Ye Qingyue knew that this girl was probably stubborn, so she took the fifty cents and didn't say anything.

"Auntie, do you want to buy anything else?"

Ding Chun had just finished a business deal, and he was ready to move again with the money in his hand.

There was no other way. The family was too poor, and she had to take her mother to the doctor.

She wanted to spend the five cents in half, and if she could make one more deal, she wanted to give it a try.

However, Ding Chun was right.

Ye Qingyue really wanted to buy something.

After Huo Qingchi delivered the Liberation Shoes yesterday, Ye Qingyue also found that there was not a single summer dress in her family that was not patched.

There were even pants with an open crotch, which Ye Xianghong had sewed up.

But after wearing them for so many years, the size was not quite right. Who knew that if she put them on again and moved them more vigorously, there would be a hole somewhere else?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyue shuddered. Buy, she must buy new clothes!

"Auntie, are you cold?"

Ding Chun misunderstood when he saw Ye Qingyue shiver.

She looked around and fixed her sight on the abandoned house next to her. She lowered her voice and said, "I also think this area is eerie. If I hadn't thought about the red armbands and dared not come here, I wouldn't have made a deal with you here." "

Auntie, you must have heard the rumors here, right? The crying in the middle of the night, the disappearing red armbands..."

Seeing Ding Chun's cautious look, Ye Qingyue was a little amused.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods. All this must be man-made, but it hasn't been revealed yet.

But seeing that Ding Chun was so scared, Ye Qingyue said, "Let's talk somewhere else. I want to buy some clothes and pants from you."

Ye Qingyue was ready to leave.

But after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Ding Chun looked at Ye Qingyue in confusion.

Ye Qingyue turned her head sharply, staring at the abandoned house, and murmured, "The crying in the middle of the night, the disappeared red armbands?"

Also, Ding Chun just said that the red armbands dared not come near the abandoned house...

Combining these details together, Ye Qingyue had a bold idea in her mind-

if, as she thought, everything was man-made, the truth actually became very simple.

The story starts with the owner of the abandoned house, the whole family committed suicide.

After those people died, the bodies were moved out. Because hanging and poisoning suicide are very painful, most of the dead looked horrible.

People who see the corpses will be frightened.

If there are weak people, they will be frightened by seeing the corpses. Because of mental instability and suspicion, after a lot of torment, they will most likely fall ill.

Most people at that time knew little about medicine and tended to attribute this phenomenon to "being possessed by evil spirits."

As time went by, many people believed that the family who committed suicide died with resentment and became resentful spirits.

Then, this rumor was heard by traffickers.

They bravely sneaked into the abandoned house, used the haunted house as their base, locked up the kidnapped women and children in the house, and kept them under strict supervision.

Those who were locked up would cry when the traffickers rested in the middle of the night.

In the quiet night, the sobbing sound was faintly transmitted in the wind and was heard by the neighbors around. They mistakenly thought it was a haunted house and became more afraid to approach.

But there are always people who don't believe in evil.

The red armband who wanted to overthrow evil spirits was one of them. He shouted that he wanted to break superstition and lived in an abandoned house in the middle of the night.

However, he mistakenly entered the lair of human traffickers and was caught.

As for whether he was killed or sold to other places, it is unknown.

Ye Qingyue used the existing information to complete the truth hidden in the rumors.

If this is really a lair of human traffickers, then is it related to the human trafficker who kidnapped Huo Qiuyi?

When Ye Qingyue came to the county town in the morning, he could still see patrolling police and red armbands, so he guessed that the human trafficker might not have been arrested yet.

Her first reaction was to call the police and ask them to search.

But after careful consideration, she ruled out this option.

First, she was just guessing, and the police might not believe it. She would have to talk to convince the police.

Second, if the police became suspicious of her and asked her why she was near the abandoned house, there were not many people in the county who dared to stay there. How would she answer?

Instead of wasting time in the police station, it would be better to go directly to the abandoned house to find out what was going on.

Who knows if Huo Qiuyi would be in danger if she delayed for too long?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyue took off the backpack containing the wine and stuffed it into Ding Chun's arms.

"Take your things and wait for me at the noodle shop opposite the back door of the vegetable market."

After that, she didn't wait for Ding Chun to answer, she jumped onto the wall with a running start and flipped over neatly.

Ding Chun held the backpack: "???" What happened?

She was full of questions, but her body ran towards the vegetable market obediently.

The aunt is very powerful, so it should be no problem for her to deal with a few resentful spirits, right?

...

After Ye Qingyue climbed into the waste house, she asked the system to turn on the scan.

Her current merit value is negative, so she can't turn on a large-scale scan. She can only use the free scan to grasp all the movements within ten meters around.

Although the range is short, Ye Qingyue still found clues.

Behind the bushes in the corner of the wall not far from her, there are a few cigarette butts, which can be seen at a glance that they were thrown recently.

Sure enough, this so-called haunted abandoned house that no one dared to approach had always been occupied!

Ye Qingyue was about to move forward and search the house.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in a house against the wall in the front yard.

Then, the door of the house opened from the inside.
