One of the old men, sitting there, called out to the old woman, "Wife, pour me a few glasses of water!"
The old lady looked at the old men with a quick and decisive look, then smiled and hurriedly poured water.
"Why are you back so early today?"
The old woman smiled as she looked at the old men.
"Oh dear, don't even mention it! This morning, after going to plow the fields, I had such bad luck!"
Another old man said, "Yes, that's because we want to get back to farming as soon as possible!"
"As a result, a little girl went missing, and many people said that the house next to our land was a haunted house!"
They absolutely refuse to let us pass!
"Yes, I don't know what illness those educated youth have developed!"
"Yeah, and they kept lecturing us! Saying we were country folk and didn't know anything!"
Shen Qingran, however, became intrigued. "A haunted house?"
"Missing?"
Could they be talking about Wang Tingting?
Shen Qingran turned to the old men and asked, "Grandpa, which educated youths are you talking about?"
The old man took out his pipe and tapped it against the sole of his foot.
"Oh dear, I wonder which one it is!"
"Anyway, there are two women and two men!!"
"The way he talks is so arrogant, he sounds just like the brigade leader or the village chief!"
"They even said we were all country bumpkins, while they claimed to be from the capital!"
"They even called us country bumpkins, while they were the privileged 'other people's kids' from the capital!"
"Oh, right, there was one woman I mistook for a man! The one with the short hair!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingran was almost certain that it was Huang Danjiao and her group.
But, a haunted house?
Shen Qingran: "Grandpa, did you used to have any stories about haunted houses in your area?"
Several elderly men and women chuckled awkwardly: "A haunted house? You could say the one at the east end of the village, but this is the one right next to our land, we just heard about it!"
"Huh? A haunted house?"
The old man seemed to realize he had said something wrong and turned his head away abruptly.
The old woman, seeing Shen Qingran's puzzled look, whispered:
"Oh dear, it's not like there's nothing a girl can't say!"
"Someone died in that house before, and afterwards people said that the ghost is still haunting it!"
"The girl's death was described as gruesome, and the crucial point is that the case remains unsolved!"
"They've been dead for several years already!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingran had a guess in her mind.
There's something wrong with this haunted house, and there's something even more wrong with Huang Danjiao and her group.
When we were with Director Wang this morning, these people didn't tell the truth.
Could Wang Tingting's disappearance be related to the haunted house?
Several elderly men and women expressed their dissatisfaction.
They just complained that when they were farming in the future, those educated youths shouldn't cause trouble anymore.
After finishing her meal, Shen Qingran asked, "Auntie, how much is it?"
"1 cents 5!"
Shen Qingran spent an extra 30 cents to buy a large jar of pickled vegetables.
I also bought soybean paste from Northeast China.
This stuff makes an amazing dipping sauce for vegetables.
It's absolutely delicious when paired with vegetables from Northeast China.
Many people don't understand, saying that Northeasterners eating green belts is because they haven't tried it.
Since arriving here, Shen Qingran has become quite interested in these foods.
After buying these items, Wan Ning very conscientiously carried them over directly.
The old woman smiled as she looked at the couple: "This girl is really pretty!"
Shen Qingran was stunned. It seemed that back in the capital, people only praised her for being beautiful and pretty!
Wan Ning, standing nearby, chuckled.
The old woman glanced at Wan Ning and exclaimed, "Wow, this young man is really handsome!"
"You two are a perfect match!"
The old woman's words were exactly what Wan Ning wanted to hear.
