After asking that question, Su He suddenly became curious about the house. Where did it come from? Is such a big house uninhabited?
After listening, Wang Yun explained, "This area is indeed uninhabited. Actually, it was once home to a wealthy man, and all the houses in this area belonged to him."
But then, something happened, and the entire wealthy man's family died.
And no one knows who killed them and then buried them in the backyard.
When the surrounding residents realized no one was there and came in to check, they were horrified to find dozens of graves densely packed together!
Curious, someone dug open one of the boxes and found a disfigured corpse dressed in the clothes of the family's servants.
Only then did these people realize that the graves here were all filled with corpses.
Those people were terrified and ran away.
Later, some bolder people came in hoping to find something left behind by the owner, but all the valuables were gone; they could only find some small items and furniture.
Gradually, these were all moved away one after another.
The house was left empty because there were graves there, and no one dared to live there.
Occasionally, homeless people would come to stay there, but one day, one of them suddenly started talking crazy, saying that the place was haunted.
As word spread, even fewer people came in.
Later, after the reform and opening up, this place was also incorporated into the state, and people were arranged to live here. Even the graves in the backyard were moved away by the government.
However, they didn't stay long before all the families fell ill. They didn't know what the illness was, and it was incurable; in the end, they all died.
Su He was listening intently, but she was startled by what she heard. "Huh? What disease? They're all dead?"
"Yes, they all died. It seemed to be a plague. Anyway, it was all over the news at the time."
After that, no one dared to live here anymore. Many people secretly said that the owner of the house died unjustly and was still alive, which was why no one was allowed to live there.
The government made several more attempts, but all were rejected.
Later, when housing in the capital became extremely scarce, a few families gradually moved into the outskirts, but they were all from out of town; locals or those who had heard the rumors dared not live there.
Su He was even more surprised to hear this. In this crowded capital city, there were actually houses that were vacant and people dared not live in them. This was even more strange.
Thinking of this, she looked back again, filled with curiosity about this area, feeling that there must be some other stories here.
But even if he was curious, it was useless. That was all Wang Yun knew. After walking for a while and thanking her, Su He parted ways with her and carried the two sacks home by herself.
Her outfit looked alright on the street. Although there were onlookers, they didn't know her and didn't know what to say.
As soon as I entered the alley, I was surrounded by people I knew.
"Hey, Officer Su, where have you been? Why are you bringing back so much stuff?"
When Su He saw them, she was glad that she had removed her makeup beforehand, otherwise she probably wouldn't have recognized them and would have been stopped as a stranger.
So she smiled and explained, "I went back to my parents' home, and this was brought to me by my family."
The others were immediately filled with envy. "Wow, your family is really generous. They send over all those dishes every day, and they even bring back so much stuff when you go home."
"Yes, her family is really generous. We're both country girls, but the girl from the alley ahead, Xiao Shi's wife, helps her family every day by bringing things from her husband's family."
No one is as worry-free as Xiao Su's family. Not only do they not need to help, but they also send things over from time to time.
If everyone else's family is like this, then marrying a woman from the countryside is actually quite good.
