"If you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have remembered it. I chose this place some time ago because of the beautiful scenery and the large crowds of people. It seems the broker really cheated me. You might as well tell me in detail so that I can argue with the broker later." Gu Yunni was filled with indignation, and her tone was tinged with anger.
This also aroused the mood of the old lady.
Yes, if this happened to a normal person, they would probably be angry.
Who can accept being deceived into this state and sent to a haunted house?
"Okay! Then I'll talk to you in detail. You must go find someone to seek justice, even if it's just to get your money back. It's no longer possible to live on this street. My husband has already gone out to look for a house and will move out in the next few days."
The old lady didn't care about much else and told Gu Yunni the whole cause and effect, even explaining her family situation clearly, without any defense against Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni was very touched. The old lady was a kind-hearted person and she dared to say so much because she trusted her.
"This used to be a good place to live, and you could make a lot of money doing business here. But since the day before yesterday, the sound of a woman crying could be heard from the lake every day, and we couldn't find the source, so everyone was scared away." The old lady fell into thought as she spoke.
She still gets goose bumps when she thinks about what happened that day.
That strange phenomenon is so scary.
"At first, the boatmen were unconvinced and continued to take people on boat trips. Only after a few more people died did they give up. From that day on, women's cries could be heard from the lakeside every noon, and ghosts and wolves howling at night."
The old lady's mood changed as she spoke, and there was a hint of fear and sadness in her voice.
How desperate those people must have been when they died.
Gu Yunni could also understand that it was just like herself at that time, who had no idea what was happening and was swept into the lake.
"The residents around here haven't been able to sleep well every day, and many have nightmares. The houses you knocked on may no longer be inhabited. We're short of money, so we've been waiting for so long. We had no choice but to scrape together some money from relatives."
As the old lady spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She thought about the dilapidated life her family was living now. Even though the house was very tidy, it was also for the sake of preserving the roots!
If this place is renovated in the future, she will have to move back, otherwise how much pressure will the head of the household be under?
"Really, Auntie? There are no ghosts in this world. Don't believe in these ghost stories. Maybe someone is playing tricks behind the scenes. Don't be afraid. At worst, I can ask my two brothers to find out the truth. You can just stay home and relax."
Gu Yunni couldn't help but feel sympathy.
She didn't expect that the old lady's life would be so hard. It was not convenient for her to give her money directly, so she had to make some promises.
She did not forget her identity, and suddenly taking out money would only arouse suspicion.
"Hey, what else is there to live in? As long as I can save my life, I'll be satisfied. Girl, listen to my advice and hurry up to find another house to move out. Forget about getting the money back, this place is uninhabitable."
The old lady sighed as she spoke, holding Gu Yunni's hand in an earnest tone.
She looked at Gu Yunni closely, not knowing where she had seen her before, but she always felt that the face was familiar.
Gu Yunni nodded. "Alright, Auntie! Don't be sad. I'll remember what you said. I'll exchange rooms with my two brothers when we get out. You must take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."
"good."
The atmosphere around was tense and Gu Yunni didn't dare to stay here any longer.
Now that we know the truth, we still have to solve the problem first.
This old lady was also a reasonable person. She knew that Gu Yunni, a girl, was probably scared and wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she didn't try to keep her.
Even though she has two men by her side, they are of no use in front of ghosts and gods.
"Girl! Come to my house when you have time. Even if I move to a new place in the future, I will welcome you to come." The old lady was very enthusiastic. She sent Gu Yunni and the others out and reminded them of some precautions.
Ever since arriving at the aunt's house, the Imperial Master has been frowning, wondering how to deal with these matters.
Now that Gu Yunni has left the aunt's sight, he wants to discuss this matter with her.
"I think I understand what's going on. I guess it's those little ghosts in the lake from before that are causing trouble. But last time, the two of us tried our best but couldn't force them out. That's the problem. With our current strength, we can't force the little ghosts out."
He couldn't accomplish it alone and still needed to rely on Gu Yunni.
The national teacher hit the pain point directly and pointed out all the problems between him and Gu Yunni. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was indeed a problem that needed to be solved.
We can't just leave it here and pretend nothing happened. What will the people on this entire street do then?
If these little devils are allowed to continue running rampant, they might endanger the entire Kyoto in the future.
Gu Yunni did not feel embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she felt that what the imperial teacher said was right.
The most urgent task now is to think about how to force the little devil out.
"Let's go and take a look first. No matter if we can think of a solution or not, we must do what we have to do. At least we should suppress it first."
Gu Yunni had no choice but to solve the problem first.
Do whatever you can first, and think about the rest later.
The Imperial Master nodded. "Okay, this might consume a lot of energy. Be prepared. Don't let yourself get exhausted and I won't be able to take care of you."
Gu Yunni felt a little heartbroken. She had never thought about getting involved in the people's affairs before. She just thought that it would be nice to get revenge and live with her family.
But now that she has helped so many people, she couldn't bear to give up suddenly.
Maybe it’s because I have done so much that I have developed an inexplicable sense of responsibility in my heart, and I feel at ease only when I do it well.
Gu Yunni hummed a nod in response to the Imperial Master's instructions, then continued, "We can't let the people live in a nightmare. That woman is still lucky; at least she has relatives who can lend her money and move. But what about those who have no money? Are they going to live in this kind of pain their whole lives? I can't bear it."
Gu Yunni was right, and the Imperial Master had no objection. "You're right. At least let the people live a stable life first. They shouldn't suffer this kind of torture every day."
It would be best to keep this matter within a small circle, otherwise as more and more rumors spread, the people will fall into panic.
If we allow the people to suffer mental breakdown and commit suicide by jumping into the river, the impact will be greater in the end.
Now that the news has not yet reached Your Majesty's ears, it means that someone is deliberately concealing it.
