And every family seems to speak similarly.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Who is it? I'm telling you, there's no one in this house! Stop knocking on the door! Are you done? You've been playing tricks all day!"
This attracted Gu Yunni's attention.
If there was no problem, this person would not have said such a thing.
Gu Yunni used her skills and spoke in a gentle tone to soothe the woman inside the door.
"Auntie! We're also residents on this street. We just moved here and wanted to visit you. We don't know what happened that made you so panicked. Would you mind opening the door? Let's talk face to face. I'm not some ghost, I'm a normal person."
Sheng Mingyu and the Imperial Master stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
It was already a ghost story, and if a man's voice appeared, it would probably be even more frightening.
"Really?" The woman's tone was full of doubt, and she didn't quite believe what Gu Yunni said.
But after thinking about it, she relaxed a little. "Are there really new residents moving into this street now? Didn't the dealer tell you what the situation is like? How heartless! Wait a minute! I'll open the door for you. Please stay away. I have to confirm your identity before you can come in."
The woman only had a brief moment of doubt. There were so many conscienceless people in this world, and she had met many of them before.
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu stood far away. When the woman opened the door, they saw three people standing outside and hurriedly tried to close the door.
Although these three people don't look like ghosts, they don't look like good people either.
"Auntie! These two are my brothers. Don't be alarmed. I brought them out because I was afraid something might happen. I didn't let them make a sound because I didn't want to scare you. Why don't you get to know each other? The three of us are siblings."
Gu Yunni had a smile on her face as she kept introducing the two of them and assigned them an identity.
The woman was very gullible and had already breathed a sigh of relief. "Is that so! You said you three were standing outside the door, who were you trying to scare to death? You couldn't even explain yourself, you made me think it was haunted. Why did you only visit my house and not others? I listened in the yard for a long time, but I didn't hear any noise from anyone's house."
Gu Yunni is pretty, and the other two are also good-looking. She doesn't believe that three such good-looking people would lie.
But she is not a fool. She is still testing Gu Yunni in her words. She does not doubt that they are ghosts, but she wonders if they have any purpose.
What if... he wants to kill for money?
"Isn't your house the first one on this street? I've been walking along and I've seen every door shut tightly. They don't even hear my cries."
When Gu Yunni said this, she did not feel guilty at all, because it was the truth.
Although this was not the first house she visited, it was indeed the first one on the street and the closest to the lake.
Gu Yunni spoke modestly and politely. Since he would be asking for information later, he should naturally know the rules.
"I saw you weren't listening carefully to the noise outside. I knocked on many doors, but they wouldn't open. Only you were kind enough to meet the three of us. We even brought gifts. Come and see."
If I make the old lady unhappy, I won't know anything.
"Okay, then which family do you live with? Tell me, and I'll visit your house if I have a chance."
The old lady looked at the gifts given by Gu Yunni with squinted eyes and was very satisfied.
These three children are quite sensible. As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Her attitude towards Gu Yunni has also improved a lot.
"It's the one in the middle. The family there moved out, and my brother and I just rented it. If you have time, please come and take a look. I always feel that the furnishings of my house are a little disappointing. If you have the chance, please help me arrange something. I think your furniture is very well made."
Gu Yunni did not feel guilty when she said this. She had been knocking on doors all the way and was already familiar with the conditions of each household.
Although no one opened the door, you can still get some information by observing the dust on the door.
Gu Yunni didn't want to continue being polite with the lady in front of her, so she vaguely mentioned her main purpose.
"By the way, Auntie, can you tell me what's going on with my neighbors? Why doesn't anyone welcome us? They won't even open the door for me. I feel cold all over when I get to this street. Is there something unclean here?"
The sooner you know the truth, the sooner you can resolve the problem.
Although I cheated this lady today, she will make it up to me if she has the chance in the future.
When the old lady heard what Gu Yunni said, her face turned pale and her eyes became evasive when she looked at Gu Yunni.
After thinking for a while, I decided to tell the truth.
If she didn't explain clearly, she would feel guilty for killing these three children.
The renter was shameless in the first place. He rented the house to these three brothers and sisters. Wasn't it because he thought these three brothers were easy to bully?
If she doesn't care, then it won't matter.
"Girl, you must remember what I tell you later, and don't shout or scream. Otherwise, if others find out, I won't be able to protect you. I don't have that much ability."
The old lady held Gu Yunni's hand tightly and gave her many instructions.
Even if she wants to tell a secret, she has to ensure her own safety first.
She is not a saint. Even if she wants to meddle in other people's affairs, she must stay alive first.
"Auntie, what do you mean? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. Please tell me what secrets this street has. I will pay more attention to it in the future to avoid getting into trouble without knowing it." Gu Yunni looked puzzled, but the auntie didn't doubt it at all.
She would save as many innocent children as she could.
If these three people still have money, they might as well rent a house somewhere else. It would be better than living by the lake.
Sheng Mingyu and the other two sat there acting as mutes, not saying a word.
The old lady just looked at the two of them strangely and didn't say anything.
It is indeed not convenient for two men to talk when women are talking.
The old lady looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she told the truth.
"This place is haunted. A while ago, it was the best spot, with beautiful views and close to the busiest streets. But now, anyone with even a little bit of information in Kyoto wants to stay away from it. No one wants to be involved."
It was only after the old lady reminded her that Gu Yunni discovered the problem.
Yes, when I came to the lake this time, I found that there were indeed fewer people than before.
You have to walk for a long time before you meet one or two people. It is nothing like the huge flow of visitors to the lake a few days ago, where you even have to queue up to take a boat.
