The next day, Shu Jiaying got up early before dawn. Grandma Xu had been applying the herbs she picked for the past two days, and now she can move freely, so Shu Jiaying no longer needs close care.
After washing up, Shu Jiaying cooked a pot of porridge and a dish and came to the foot of the back mountain.
After carefully observing the terrain here, I found that there was no other family within a hundred miles except Shu Jiaying's thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain. There were only a few scattered and desolate graves not far away.
No wonder Shu Wenqing would rather abandon this place than live here, because not only do you have to be wary of sudden attacks from wild beasts at night, but you may also be visited by ghosts at any time.
She couldn't help but shudder. In fact, Shu Jiaying was actually quite scared when she thought about living in this house in the future. However, if she didn't set up her own business and returned to that "home" where everyone treated her as an outsider, she knew that her chances of dying early would be greater. So compared to monsters and demons, the most terrifying thing was the human heart.
Shu Jiaying gritted her teeth and silently encouraged herself in her heart: It's okay, I've died before, too. If ghosts really exist, then I'm the ghost that doesn't belong to this world!
Thinking of this, Shu Jiaying bravely walked towards the thatched hut, but when she reached the door.
Whoosh…whoosh…
There seemed to be a burst of intermittent breathing sounds coming from the room, and Shu Jiaying couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: Oh my God, it can't be so weird, just thinking about ghosts... the ghost came?
Looking up at the sky which was already getting brighter, Shu Jiaying had another thought: It's impossible. If there really was a ghost in there, why wouldn't the ghost leave when it was almost dawn? Is he planning to be sunburned to death?
With this understanding, Shu Jiaying immediately realized that the person staying in the thatched hut was definitely not a ghost, and she should be a person.
As for why this person was hiding in this deserted house, perhaps it might be related to the Ke family.
Shu Jiaying felt that Ke must have wanted to occupy her big house but did not want to fulfill her promise to hand over the thatched hut, so this bad woman asked someone to sneak into the house and occupy it by force.
I guess Mrs. Ke calculated that Shu Jiaying would not dare to resist.
Humph... When this person becomes greedy, he is so disgusting that it makes people want to vomit.
Picking up a dead branch on the ground, Shu Jiaying decided that after entering the house, no matter who she saw, she would beat them up. This was her place, and if she was not ruthless, the Ke family would definitely bully her again like before.
She didn't want to keep playing this song on repeat.
Shu Jiaying gently pushed open the wooden door and was a little surprised because the door was not locked, which was just right.
Lifting the dry branch, she saw the dark figure on the bed through the dim light and suddenly started beating him wildly, shouting: "I'll beat you to death, you little thief! You've been everywhere... How dare you break into my room and steal things? I'll beat you to death... I'll beat you to death..."
I don't know how many times he hit her, but the person on the bed just hummed twice. She didn't even scream or move?
This situation was really strange. Shu Jiaying began to doubt whether she had hit the wrong person.
Pausing what she was doing, Shu Jiaying whispered to the seemingly frail figure on the bed, "Hey... I'm saying, are you dead?"
I thought that person would not respond to me, but I didn't expect him to actually raise his five fingers and wave at Shu Jiaying.
(I'm fine!)
