Chapter 6 What is true and what is false
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! It's haunted!!!"

Liu Sanniang ran frantically to the courtyard. The girls had just finished their porridge and were going to wash the dishes. The servants on the other side were still doing chores.

Liu Sanniang rushed over and grabbed a random woman: "Quick, go catch the ghost! It's haunted in there! That woman is alive again!"

The woman was a little stunned and couldn't react.

The girls sitting over there are looking at me and I'm looking at you.

Liu Sanniang grabbed Yu's mother next to her again: "Quick, go have a look!"

"What are you yelling for?" Aunt Feng came over. "Those cooks just fell asleep after a busy day. What are you arguing about here?"

"Ghost!" Liu Sanniang didn't compete with Aunt Feng for the first time, she ran to hold her forearm and pointed at the small wooden house, "Go and see, it's really haunted inside!"

"You're crazy," Aunt Feng rudely shook off her hand, "Don't touch me."

The other servants and maids in the yard were curiously surrounded, and they all looked at the wooden house over there, and then looked back at Liu Sanniang's current appearance.

"Don't you believe me either?" Liu Sanniang looked at the two maids who were closer to her and panted, "You guys come and see, it's really her, it's really her! You are not afraid of her. To get revenge on us, if true?"

Speaking of which, her voice was filled with tears.

The women around were looking at her, and Mrs. Liang, who was close to Aunt Feng, was a little uneasy by the appearance of Liu Sanniang, and said in a low voice, "Yes, if it's true, why don't we go take a look? There are so many people now."

Aunt Feng was also troubled, and looked back at the wooden house.

"Let's go and have a look." The woman on Liu Sanniang's side picked up the washing machine and said, "We can't do anything more now, we are tired of looking at the front yard."

"Why do they bother us?" Mr. Liang muttered, "It's not all because of the woman burning down the house today..."

Aunt Feng hurriedly pushed her with her elbow.

Liang's complexion turned pale, he glanced at everyone present vigilantly, and did not dare to speak again.

"Go and have a look." Aunt Feng said, "There must be a reason for her being frightened like this. Maybe it's that girl who has a lot of tricks. If she is playing tricks, she will be killed and thrown into the mountains."

With that said, she went to the ruins to pick up a piece of wood that was only half burned, and walked towards the wooden house first.

"Let's go." Mr. Liang called and followed.

A few brave and curious girls put down the bowls in their hands and hesitated, but followed them there.

The wooden house was bolted from the outside. The woman next to Liu Sanniang went up and pulled out the wood. It was dark inside, and the moonlight came in through the screen windows, and you could vaguely see the potholes on the soil.

Liu Sanniang's face was pale, and she did not dare to go in any more, she took the hand of her cronies and hid behind.

Liang held a torch in his hand and a mallet in the other hand, leaning forward.

The wooden house is not very big, there is a small partition in the middle, other than that, there are some messy piles of wood in the corner.

The torch swept around the room, but there was nothing, and there was no girl at all.

"No, no one." Mrs Liang stammered and looked at Aunt Feng in horror.

Aunt Feng tried her best to calm down, looked around, and pointed to the window: "Where is it, did you escape through the window?"

"Go and have a look!" Liu Sanniang pushed a servant girl over.

The servant girl did not dare, but she was timid and walked away.

Liang also followed with a torch.

"No, it's not," the servant girl checked and turned back, "the window is bolted from the inside."

"It's over there." Aunt Feng looked at the other windows.

The maid and Mrs Liang went to check one by one, shook their heads and said, "No, they are all bolted inside."

"Then, what about her?" Aunt Feng couldn't believe it, she turned her head to look at the wooden house, and then quietly looked up at the beams.

It was dark and faint, and I was really afraid that a human face would suddenly appear, or a pair of smiling but cold eyes.

"She wouldn't really be..." said a maid who had a good relationship with Liu Sanniang.

"Yu, Yu's mother." A girl's voice sounded nervously.

Everyone in the house looked back.

Liu Sanniang also turned around and saw the girl standing at the back, she screamed and retreated into the house.

"What are you doing!" Liu Sanniang stepped on Aunt Feng's foot and was pushed aside by Aunt Feng angrily.

Qian Qianqian held Xia Zhaoyi's hand and looked at them timidly: "You guys, are you looking for her..."

Everyone followed the pointer, and their eyes fell on the girl beside her.

The little girl was covered in injuries, her eyes were terrified, her hands trembled uncomfortably, she caught their eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Feng said in a deep voice and walked out of the room.

Xia Zhaoyi swallowed and said with difficulty, "Just now, there was a fire outside. Qianqian was afraid that the fire would come to me, so she came to let me out. I..." She choked and cried. , "I know I shouldn't have escaped, I'm just scared..."

"Okay," Aunt Feng stopped her, "Are you outside just now?"

Xia Zhaoyi sobbed and didn't answer.

Qian Qianqian nodded: "Yes, Ali said it was too dark inside, so he didn't dare to go back, and hid behind us when he was making porridge..."

"You lie," Liu Sanniang shouted immediately, "then who is the person I saw in the house just now."

As soon as the words fell, she widened her eyes and was frightened by herself again.

The servants next to her also got goosebumps, and some quietly wanted to stay away from her.

"No, no," Liu Sanniang was a little confused, looked at Xia Zhaoyi, and rushed up to grab her shoulder, "It's you, the person I saw in the room just now was you, right? You? This female ghost is you!"

"Wow!" The little girl was shaken violently, opened her mouth, and burst into tears.

"Why are you crying?" Aunt Feng called forward. "Crying again and pulling out your tongue."

The girl stopped, biting her mouth tightly, almost burping.

"It can't be her," Aunt Feng pulled Liu Sanniang's hand from Xia Zhaoyi's hand, "I was making porridge here just now. After you ran out, no one came out, and now the windows are all opened from the inside. It's tied, she couldn't have been in."

"Then who is the person I saw inside," Liu Sanniang shouted, reaching out and pointing at Xia Zhaoyi, "It's her, it must be her."

After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhaoyi's shoulder: "Did you sneak out, say, did you!"

"Are you really scared or just pretending?" Liang Shi was so sleepy that she cried, "If she is really a ghost, would you dare to go up and grab her shoulder like this? What the hell are you trying to do, Liu Sanniang?"

"She's a ghost!"

"Can a ghost do this to you? If she is really a ghost, you might have died when you were alone in the house just now," Mr. Liang angrily scolded and turned to leave, "I'm going to bed, I'm too lazy to care about you, crazy woman."

Before taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked at Aunt Feng beside her.

Aunt Feng met her eyes.

Mrs. Liang paused and whispered something next to Aunt Feng's ear, and Aunt Feng's eyes lit up.

Liu Sanniang looked at them, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"Did you fear that the woman was killed today?" Aunt Feng looked at Liu Sanniang and asked.

Liu Sanniang didn't speak, she didn't know what she wanted to do, for fear of being caught in a trap.

"You came here just now to look for this girl, but she wasn't there at all, Liu Sanniang, are you crazy?" Aunt Feng continued.

"I really saw her!" Liu Sanniang shouted, looking at Xia Zhaoyi again.

Xia Zhaoyi hid behind Qian Qianqian and the girls this time, and cried, "I really wasn't there."

"It's you!" Liu Sanniang became more and more excited and went up to catch Xia Zhaoyi, "If it wasn't you, it would be a ghost, stop for me first!"

The girls ran away screaming, and Xia Zhaoyi was among the girls.

Liu Sanniang stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and even picked up the wooden stick beside her to hit them.

The two servant girls who were approaching her hurriedly stopped her.

"Enough!" Aunt Feng exclaimed.

Liu Sanniang didn't care at all, she went crazy to catch Xia Zhaoyi.

"She's crazy," cried one of the girls, "she's crazy, she's going to kill us!"

"Stop her," Aunt Feng yelled, "Don't be fooling around!"

All the maids ran up, and several of them stopped Liu Sanniang, who was struggling desperately.

"Let go of me, it's her! I'm going to kill her!" Liu Sanniang lost her mind completely.

"There aren't enough people in the backyard. You have to give a reason for killing people. If you want to kill people for no reason, who will do our work?" Aunt Feng said coldly, "On the one hand, you are afraid of her and say she is a ghost, but on the other hand If you hold on to her, are you afraid of her or not? And you all of a sudden say there is a ghost inside, and all of a sudden you imply that she is pretending to be a ghost, Liu Sanniang, what are you trying to do?"

Liu Sanniang's mind was completely messed up, she didn't know what she wanted to express, she struggled hard: "Let go of me!!!"

"Liu Sanniang is crazy," Aunt Feng looked at the women, "put her in the basement."

Everyone was stunned.

The ground room was where the woman in gray was imprisoned.

Liu Sanniang's head buzzed, screaming and roaring: "What qualifications do you have to shut me up? Let me go!"

"Because you're crazy!" Aunt Feng's voice was already sharp, but it became louder when she raised the volume, "If you don't lock you up, what if you burn this place down? What else can I burn for you? The front yard is over there. I'll tell you, take her away."

"Let go of me! Let me go!!"

Rao is born strong and tall, but she is not the opponent of these women who are also used to rough work, and it is useless to struggle.

Xia Zhaoyi watched her being taken away, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and still looked depressed and sad.

Liu Sanniang suddenly turned around and found her in the crowd with hatred in her eyes: "Ali! It's you!!"

Xia Zhaoyi hid behind Qian Qianqian in fear, hiding herself from the crowd, smiled suddenly at Liu Sanniang, raised her hand and touched her belly.

Liu Sanniang was stunned to the ground, and then screamed: "It's her! It's really her!"

But struggling is in vain.
