Chapter 212 Ghost Screams - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
"Hahaha!" Finally got it, finally got it.
Lin Shu felt the bumpy stuff in the bag. Hehe, could it be gold?
The smile on her face grew bigger and bigger.
After a while, she got up from the ground.
"Hiss——" Lin Shu twisted her ankle and found it a little painful. Did she just sprain her ankle?
Never mind, what if she sprained her ankle? She got a lot of treasures!
Lin Shu limped back to the yard carrying a heavy bag. She didn't know if God was really blessing her, but her journey was surprisingly smooth. No one came out to use the restroom on the way back, and she returned to her room smoothly.
"Huh~" she breathed softly.
Finally back, hehehe!
She covered her mouth tightly and almost laughed out loud.
Lin Shu looked inside and saw Jiang Yang still sleeping soundly. There was no movement except for the sound of his snoring.
She felt relieved instantly.
She carefully lit a candle on the floor, and the light came from the side. Lin Shu's eyes moved to the bundle.
She held her breath and said: Baby, here I come!
She reached out to untie the bundle, peeled it open, and the treasure inside was revealed.
The moment she saw the true appearance of the thing, the smile on her lips froze immediately.
Stone???
Where's my baby? Where's my baby?
How could it be a stone?
Lin Shu couldn't believe that she had just brought back a pile of stones. How could it be possible? It was impossible. This was absolutely impossible.
"Ah!" Lin Shu held his head and screamed.
Jiang Yang was so scared that he jumped up from the bed.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" He ran down from the bed and saw the candlelight. "Lin Shu, what are you screaming about?"
Jiang Yang walked forward step by step and saw a pile of stones covered with a bag on the ground in front of her.
He frowned and looked at Lin Shu who was still screaming, "What is this?"
"Bang, bang, bang! Open the door! What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?" It turned out that many neighbors had been woken up.
Lin Qing and Cen Xi were no exception. They were so close that they were woken up from their sleep by the scream.
"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Qing asked with confused eyes.
Cen Xi frowned with one hand. He also wanted to know what was going on. It was the middle of the night and it was so noisy!
"This voice sounds like Lin Shu!" Lin Qing was awakened by the continuous screaming.
"Let's go out and take a look!" Cen Xi suggested directly when he saw that Lin Qing had woken up.
"good!"
The couple packed up and planned to go out to see what the situation was.
Good guy, when he opened the door, he found that everyone in the front and back yards, except the children, was there.
"What's going on? It's late at night, with all the screams and howling, how can I sleep?"
"Who is it? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
It can be seen that everyone is very resentful.
Everyone looked at Lin Shu and his friends' room in the west wing, and finally Aunt Jiang went forward and knocked on the door.
In the room, Lin Shu's screams had stopped, and he kept muttering, "It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone."
Fortunately, Jiang Yang was close by and heard everything.
"What's missing?" Jiang Yang asked with a frown.
"All the treasures are gone, all gone." Lin Shu said with a dazed look.
Baby? This pile of rocks on the ground?
Could it be that I was deceived?
"Open the door, open the door! What happened?"
Jiang Yang listened to the knock on the door with a headache on his face, then looked at Lin Shu who was sitting on the ground. No matter how he looked at it, something seemed wrong and he absolutely could not let anyone else in.
Jiang Yang immediately replied loudly: "Sorry, sorry, a mouse suddenly appeared in our room, and Lin Shu was suddenly frightened by the mouse. I'm so sorry, everyone, go back! I won't shout again, the mouse just now is gone."
The people outside waited for a long time and finally got this answer.
Huh? Rats? There are rats?
Were you scared by the mouse?
"It's no big deal. What's so scary about this mouse? Seriously, why are ghosts screaming in the middle of the night?"
Everyone went back swearing again.
"Brother Nan, there are mice in Lin Shu and the others' room. Is there a possibility that there are mice in our room as well?" Lin Qing hugged Cen Xi's arm tightly.
Cen Xi patted her arm and said, "It's okay. We haven't seen each other yet, have we? I'll check our house tomorrow and seal up all the rat holes."
"Okay! We must block all the rat holes."
"Sure, don't worry, I will."
Soon Lin Qing and Cen Xi returned to bed and soon they fell asleep again.
When others heard the word "rat", they all thought of exterminating rats.
Jiang Yang in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending the people outside the door away.
He looked at Lin Shu and sighed, "Lin Shu, can you tell me what's going on?"
Lin Shu looked at him dully, then looked at the stone on the ground.
"Baby, my baby is gone. Ah——" Lin Shu's mouth was covered as soon as he started to speak.
I was so surprised that I didn't scream out loud.
Jiang Yang was glad that he quickly covered the person up, otherwise the person he had just dealt with would have come back again.
"Don't shout. It's late at night. What if you attract other people here?" Jiang Yang warned in a low voice.
He still wanted to know what was going on, so he paused and said in a gentle voice, "Can you tell me exactly what's going on?"
Lin Shu looked at him, and her heart finally came to her senses. She buried her tears in his arms and told him everything, but she concealed the time when she knew it and the things she didn't think of letting him know.
Fortunately, Jiang Yang was not entangled. After all, he only had a pile of stones in his hand. What was there to be entangled about?
"So this is what you meant by the money you said this morning?"
"Well, I thought there would be a lot of treasures, but when I opened the bag, I saw a pile of stones inside."
Jiang Yang looked at Lin Shu steadily, his brows furrowed. This matter was going to be a bit difficult to handle.
It would be fine if the things in here were really treasures, but now they have become a pile of stones, and it is not suitable to put them back. After all, if the person who put them back notices it, it might bring trouble to himself!
In the end, I ended up with nothing. Not only did I not get anything, but I also got myself into trouble.
But if you don't put it back, this burden will become a burden.
The thought of this gave him a headache instantly.
"Brother Yang, what should we do now?"
"Now you know to ask me what to do? Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"I also overheard it by chance when I went to the restroom tonight. Didn't I take it back immediately? Who knew it would turn out like this? Who knew?" Lin Shu stammered.
"Find a time and burn this baggage when you make a fire!" This baggage cannot be kept!
"Okay!" Lin Shu thought this was a good idea. If this thing was burned away, there would be no cure for the disease.
