Chapter 287 Wisteria Villa
Chapter 288 Wisteria Villa
Sheng Xi was surprised by Ah Shou's reaction. He didn't know why he was so scared when Zhuangzi was mentioned.

She said jokingly: "Why, could it be that Zhuangzi is haunted? That ghost also eats people?"

Ah Shou suddenly raised his head and looked at her in horror.

Sheng Xi: “…………”

She never thought she would guess it right!
"Sheng, Sheng, Miss Sheng, how did you know?" Ah Shou stared at Sheng Xi with his eyes as big as copper bells that were ravaged by hunger. At this moment, in addition to fear and panic, there was also something in those eyes. There was an indescribable shock.

Sheng Xi: "...don't get excited first, I just said it casually, and, um, it hit the mark."

Ah Shou blinked, obviously not expecting Sheng Xi's casual statement to be so accurate.

"Miss Sheng..." Ah Shou called her, but his lips trembled so much that he couldn't say the next words.

Sheng Xi observed his expression and suddenly asked after a moment: "Ah Shou, have you ever... entered that village and happened to encounter a ghost eating a man?"

Hearing this, Ah Shou couldn't hold it in any longer, his body shook violently, his mouth became deflated, and his expression seemed like he was about to cry.

Sheng Xi: "..."

No wonder this child was so scared. It turned out to be a witness to the power of ghosts and gods.

Sheng Xi really didn't know what to say for a moment, but Xin Ru, who was listening to their conversation, was very excited and said: "Isn't it right? Ah Shou, you really saw a ghost? What does that ghost look like? Is it on your head?" It has four horns, two fangs one foot long, and a snake-like tail trailing behind it? Is that so? Is that so?"

Sheng Xi stroked his forehead and hurriedly stopped Xin Ru, who was full of curiosity. He didn't expect that there were people who liked ghosts so much in this world.

"Girl, there's a ghost!" The light in Xin Ru's eyes could almost pierce Ah Shou.

Sheng Xi nodded, then shook his head hurriedly after realizing it: "What the hell? There are no ghosts in this world! If there are, then they are just ghosts pretending to be human beings!"

Really, I was almost led astray by this girl!
"Ah, how could it be? My father always told me about ghosts when I was a kid! Especially in the middle of the night, ghosts like to come out to catch children and eat them!" Xin Ru said with determination.

Ah Shou was about to collapse after listening to her words, while Sheng Xi was helpless.

"Xinru, shut up!" she said.

Xin Ru's opened mouth suddenly closed, and she said no more words.

Seeing Ah Shou who was really about to cry, Sheng Xi could only comfort him in a low voice, and at the same time help him analyze atheism: "Ah Shou, don't think too much, there are no ghosts in this world. What you saw before may be some people The person created the illusion just because he didn’t want outsiders to see the true nature of the incident.”

"Girl, are we still going?"

"Go, now that you are here, there is no reason to go back."

As soon as Sheng Xi finished speaking, Ah Shou couldn't hold it back anymore. With a click, a golden bean squeezed out from the corner of his eye.

Sheng Xi: "...Ahem, Xin Ru, you and Ashou will be waiting outside Zhuangzi when we arrive soon. Sheng Nan and I will go in."

Xinru wanted to see ghosts, but Sheng Xi had spoken and she had to obey, so she nodded with regret.I thought the matter was settled like that, but Ah Shou cheered up again: "Miss Sheng, don't, leave me alone, I, I'm fine!"

"A Shou, you..."

"Miss Sheng, I'm really fine! Really!" Ah Shou wiped his face and his attitude suddenly became firm, "You don't have to worry about me. You, didn't you just say that there are no ghosts in this world, then there must be no ghosts! I believe it you!"

Sheng Xi: "It won't be so fast..."

"Besides, I also want to be your guide, so I can't give up halfway!" Ah Shou looked at Sheng Xi with bright eyes as he spoke, with a firm look on his face, as if if Sheng Xi didn't agree, he would never take this job again. .

Sheng Xi didn't stare at her for a while, but after a while she finally laughed out loud: "Okay, then it's up to you!"

"Yes!" Ah Shou nodded heavily, "Miss Sheng, let me tell you about the master of Zhuangzi first!"

During the rest of the journey, Ah Shou told Sheng Xi everything he knew about Zhuangzi.

This villa has a very appropriate name, Wisteria Villa.The reason why it is called this is because there is a wisteria that is said to be thousands of years old growing on the hill in Zhuangzi. When the flowers are in bloom, it covers the sky and the sun. From a distance, the entire top of the mountain is covered in purple, which is really attractive.

This Zhuangzi was left over from the previous dynasty. It changed owners once during the time of the previous emperor. When the new emperor just succeeded to the throne, the owner here bought Zhuangzi from the original owner and then renovated the place.So far, this Zhuangzi has not even lived for two years.

"The person who bought this village is named Wu Yuankui, and he is the eldest son of the second master of the Wu family in the capital. The Wu family is a merchant and was once the leading wealthy family in the capital. The reason why I say once is because the Wu family has declined now, and the whole family has left the capital. Moved to Yong'an. About ten years ago, the eldest son of the Wu family fell ill. After that, the Wu family became worse year by year. I heard that the Wu family is now managed by the second master of the Wu family, and Wu Yuankui can buy I bought this village after my father was a housekeeper." Ah Shou said.

After a slight pause, he collected his thoughts and continued: "The news I heard said that Wu Yuankui originally wanted to take the imperial examination, and his family spent a lot of money to send him to a very famous academy. Unfortunately, This Wu Yuankui was not a candidate for the imperial examination at all. He went around eating, drinking and having fun, and in the end all the money was wasted."

"Tsk, tsk, just by listening to this, you can tell that Wu Yuankui is a prodigal!" Xin Ru commented after hearing this.

Ah Shou pursed his lips and added: "Wu Yuankui is indeed a prodigal. If nothing else, the land in this village was originally well cultivated. However, since he took over, the land has become deserted in less than two years." More than half. Moreover, Wu Yuankui is also very good at gambling. Although there is no definite information, when Wu Yuankui sold this village at the beginning, everyone speculated that it might be because he lost money. "

"In the beginning?" Sheng Xi raised an eyebrow, "In other words, the haunting incident came out later?"

"Yes!" Ah Shou nodded, "I, the reason why that happened to me was because grandpa was really seriously ill at that time, but I didn't have money to treat grandpa. At that time, we happened to be begging near Zhuangzi. , So, so I just wanted to go inside and steal some things to sell..."

At the end of the sentence, Ah Shou's voice was almost too soft to be heard, but the three of them all had excellent ears, so naturally they couldn't miss his words.

Ah Shou's head was lowered. In fact, he could have found any reason to excuse Sheng Xi, but for some reason, he just didn't want to lie in front of Sheng Xi.

At this moment, he was actually a little scared, fearing that Sheng Xi would not trust him because he had stolen things before. If that happened, if that happened...

"Pa", Sheng Xi's palm fell heavily on Ah Shou's shoulder, and he patted it hard twice, but said nothing.

Ah Shou looked up at her and saw that there was no sullen look or look down on her face, and his heart that had been on his mind dropped a little.

He opened his mouth, but when he spoke again, he was choked with sobs: "Miss Sheng, I, I..."

"You have so many golden beans! Don't think about it. It's all over, and life has to move on, right? Tell us, tell us what kind of 'ghost' did you encounter in Wisteria Villa after that?" Sheng Xi asked with a smile.
