Chapter 17 There is evil in that place that will devour people’s lives
Chu Fu shook his head, "No, it's just very evil. It seems that they all died of illness. I heard that the government sent people to check, but nothing was found."

"Although people die often in Lingnan, everyone who lived in that house died without exception. No one survived. This is not normal."

"We all feel that there is evil in that place that will devour people's lives. I don't know about the rest. In short, you should be more careful and take care of yourself."

"If you go straight in this direction, you will see three paths. Remember to take the middle path. Keep walking forward. You will see two paths. Turn left and take the left path. Just keep walking and you will be there." Chu Fu said Wan waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do at home, so I won't talk to you any more. I'm leaving first."

Chu Fu left in a hurry.

Su Huaili looked at Chu Fu's back, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed his words.

He hasn't asked how to get to his house yet.

Zhou Yancheng withdrew all his thoughts and turned to look at Su Huaili, "Do you know how to get home?"

Su Huaili shook his head, "I don't know."

Zhou Yancheng agreed, "Then you can follow us first, and you can ask again when you meet someone."

He could clearly feel that Chu Fu's attitude towards them had become much lighter.

But this is normal. Once people encounter something that is life-threatening, they tend to stay away immediately.

Su Huaili nodded, "Okay."

Zhou Yancheng was surprised, "Aren't you afraid?"

Su Huaili shook his head and said he didn't care, "I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Things happen for a reason. It's just that the government is incompetent and careless and can't find out."

He visited Zhou's house not long ago and didn't find anything strange.

Even if there is something strange, just solve it.

Zhou Shitang agreed, "I think so too. Mr. Su speaks very sharply and to the point."

If it was man-made, there would definitely be some clues left behind.

The family needs to be more careful.

She didn't see this paragraph when she read the novel, so she didn't know what happened.

Their family's situation will become even more difficult in the future. If others hear that they live there, they will probably stay away.

Su Huaili was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he slowly lowered his head and stared at his toes.

Zhou Shitang looked at the four kilograms of pork in Zhou Yancheng's hand, and then looked at Su Huaili, "I'm afraid you have to come with us again. We won't have a knife to cut a kilogram of pork for you after you get back."

"No problem." Su Huaili nodded, and then walked to Zhou Yancheng's side, "Uncle Zhou, let me get some for you."

Zhou Yancheng's hands happened to be tired, so after hearing his words, they all handed him the pork without being polite at all.

Su Huaili: "..."

Uncle Zhou really trusts him.

Chu Fu hurried home and waited for a long time. He stood on tiptoes several times and looked out. He roughly estimated the time and felt that the Zhou family should leave, so he pretended to walk out naturally.

He glanced around, but did not see the figures of Zhou Yancheng and others. He took a step forward and ran towards Zeng's house.

"Old Zeng, I have something to tell you." Chu Fu knew that Zeng Chusheng would definitely be killing pigs in the kitchen. He often came to Zeng's house, so he ran directly to the kitchen with a look of horror on his face.

Zeng Chusheng raised his knife to cut the pork. Hearing Chu Fu's slightly anxious voice, he paused and looked up at him, "What terrible thing happened to you?" Chu Fu took a few deep breaths, bent down slightly, and raised his hands. He propped up his knees and told intermittently what he had just learned, "I heard great news."

"The Zhou family lives in that haunted house now. We exchanged medicinal materials with him. Do you think we will get anything dirty?"

"I was really scared. I didn't expect to meet a random person who happened to live in a house that no one wanted to go to."

Zeng Chusheng was stunned, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true." Chu Fu nodded heavily, "The little girl said that there are no neighbors around her house. Near this mountain forest, there is only one house without neighbors."

Zeng Chusheng's face was serious, he thought for a long time, and then said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself with your random thoughts."

"We just exchange medicinal materials with them normally, and nothing will happen."

Chu Fu thought about what he said and slowly relaxed, with a frightened look on his face, "I'm so scared. I chatted with Brother Zhou. He is really nice, but he lives in that place."

"I didn't mean to alienate him, but I didn't dare to risk myself or even my whole family's lives."

Zhou Yancheng was a person he had met once, and their friendship was not very deep. There was no need for him to hook up with his whole family for a stranger.

Chu Fu sat down on the ground, thumped his head twice, and murmured, "Old Zeng, do you think I'm becoming more and more snobbish? I'm still calling him brothers, but I'm just trying to break up the relationship." It has to be clean.”

Seeing him like this, Zeng Chusheng sighed, "There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. It can be said to be very wise. It is the instinct of humans and animals to stay away from danger."

"But I think there's no need to be in the presence of a formidable enemy. Just go about your business normally."

"No one knows why something like that happened to that house now, and there's no way of knowing what will happen in the future."

"There will always be a reason, and the truth will come out one day. It's just a matter of time."

Chu Fu listened to these words.

Lao Zeng was smarter than him and thought more thoroughly than him. He believed in Lao Zeng's judgment.

Chu Fu stood up and said, "You mean we can continue our interactions with Brother Zhou, right?"

"Yes." Zeng Chusheng nodded, "I don't believe in anything evil, so relax your mind."

Chu Fu also felt that he was making too much fuss, "Well, Lao Zeng, I believe you."

Zeng Shuangyan was boiling water nearby and heard the whole conversation between the two adults. She smiled and comforted, "Uncle Chu, my father is right. You don't have to worry too much and live a good life."

From her father's description, Uncle Zhou and Sister Zhou were very nice people, upright and generous.

They were already very unlucky to live in that place, and it would not be good for them to add insult to injury.

Moreover, she felt there was nothing to be afraid of.

It's just living in a house where many people have died.

Chu Fu scratched his head and said, "My niece is back."

He didn't notice his niece just now. He was panicking in front of a junior and had no image at all.

Zeng Shuangyan saw Chu Fu's embarrassment and changed the subject with a smile, "Uncle Chu, you and my dad are lucky today. We each picked up a pig. If you save food, you can eat it for a long time."
