Chapter 446: Chapter 446

Yang Fan felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, his heart became even more apprehensive.

If there was nothing wrong, that would be best.

But if there was something wrong, it might be big trouble.

Liang Laoshi saw the female ghost that suddenly appeared behind him but failed to notice the cold energy on his body.

If there truly was something wrong, it could only mean that the guy hid it too well.

"Let’s go, take me to the place where you found that thing last night," Liang Laoshi said as he packed his things, "Although you killed it with a swing of your stick, the place where such a ghost exists is bound to be filled with a thick evil aura. It’s not a place for normal people to stay. If they stay too long, there will definitely be problems."

Yang Fan suddenly remembered his sister-in-law saying that Wei Juan had not been quite herself lately and immediately asked, "Sir, what kind of problems could arise?"

"Suicide," said Liang Laoshi nonchalantly.

"That kind of thing appears just to kill people. If it doesn’t scare you to death, or possess and kill you, it subtly affects your emotions, leading you gradually to extremes."

"Damn, it’s lucky it was found early," Yang Fan cursed softly.

Liang Laoshi turned his head to look at him, "Someone’s already not right?"

Yang Fan nodded, "It’s my friend, he’s always lived there. I just stayed overnight, and then I encountered this rotten situation and had a close shave with that ghost."

Liang Laoshi laughed, "A close shave... indeed, it’s pretty scary."

"You, young man, have something about you. It’s one thing to attract living women with your peach blossom luck, but to even draw a female ghost to you..."

Yang Fan instantly grimaced, "Sir, your teasing is a bit chilling."

"Who knows? It might be true," Liang Laoshi said with a mysterious smile, "Have you never heard of the Ghost Bride?"

"Each of these entities has its own obsession. It’s not unheard of for one to want to find someone to marry and have children with, right?"

Yang Fan suddenly felt a chill rush from his tailbone to his cerebral cortex.

"It can’t be that bad, can it?" he said in disbelief.

"It definitely can. I’ve encountered it before," Liang Laoshi chuckled.

Yang Fan: ...

Damn, what a mess this all is.

Liang Laoshi finished organizing his things and handed a worn-out briefcase to Yang Fan, "Here, hold this."

Yang Fan took it, and the two of them stepped out the door together.

"Where’s your car?" Liang Laoshi looked around the street and asked.

He automatically ignored the second-hand tricycle parked not far away.

Yang Fan pointed in its direction.

Liang Laoshi clicked his tongue and suddenly laughed, "You, the big boss, really are low-key."

Yang Fan chuckled softly, "Please don’t scorn my ride, Elder, as long as it gets me from A to B, it’s fine."

"That sounds like something a big boss would say, alright then, let’s go," Liang Laoshi laughed and agreed.

Yang Fan put the bulging backpack, which contained who knows what things Liang Laoshi had packed, into the carriage.

Yang Fan drove Liang Laoshi back to the village and arrived at the village committee courtyard.

"Call out to that friend you mentioned, and I’ll deal with both at once," Liang Laoshi stood at the entrance of the village committee courtyard, scrutinizing the courtyard in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression. "This place... is truly extraordinary, no wonder things that even dare to roam around in broad daylight appear here, this whole..."

As he spoke, Liang Laoshi offered an eerie smile towards Yang Fan, "Do you know who Tian Xiao’e is?"

Yang Fan did not know why he suddenly asked this, but still nodded honestly.

It was indeed unfortunate.

He was actually familiar with that name.

Bai Lu Yuan was something he came across in high school, and Tian Xiao’e was definitely the character that left the deepest impression on him.

Every day she served the landlord dates, the tumultuous affair with Hei wa, and what happened later in the village, it was definitely what one could call his introduction to the birds and the bees.

Now, with some actual experience, he felt that whether or not the dates soaked by that place had any nutritional value was up for debate, but they definitely wouldn’t taste good, and peeing on someone’s face wouldn’t be any fun either.

"If I didn’t know Tian Xiao’e was a character from a story, I would suspect that she might have been buried right here," Liang Laoshi sighed with a light chuckle, his face displaying an array of expressions.

Yang Fan was taken aback, "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, the woman you clubbed to death might be on the same level as the last Tian Xiao’e," Liang Laoshi said. "You’ve probably read the rest of the story, right?"

Yang Fan shook his head, "In that book, I only focused on the key plots at the time, I’ve forgotten most of the rest."

Liang Laoshi suddenly laughed in a somewhat lecherous manner, "You lad, you truly are not ordinary."

The color drained from Yang Fan’s face suddenly.

This old geezer had started to beat around the bush and curse him again.

"I dare say, no one who lives here is normal, everyone will have some kind of mental issue, more or less," Liang Laoshi stated. "You stay outside, don’t come in. I’m going to have a look inside."

After careful thought, Yang Fan realized... it actually made a lot of sense.

Shen Lin did not seem to be a normal person either.

Yang Fan watched as Liang Laoshi entered the village committee courtyard with extreme caution, feeling that aside from his foul mouth, the old man seemed to actually have some real abilities. If what he just said matched up with the actual situation, that would be truly impressive.

Just that, he hadn’t noticed that cold energy on him. What in the world was that?

At this moment, Little Mother arrived in a hurry accompanied by his sister-in-law, Wei Juan, along with Yang Yuan and her daughter.

Their flamboyant approach nearly dazzled Yang Fan’s eyes.

When it came to buxom curves, one had to mention Fourth Aunt, swaying so much while walking she seemed almost ready to take flight.

When it came to a slender figure, one had to look at his sister-in-law, those legs, those lines were truly beautiful.

When it came to wearing the least, one had to look at Wei Juan.

She was a bit over the top today, wearing a pair of sharkskin pants and a tank top, showing off her midriff, with the pants clinging to her skin, showcasing almost every curve.

She didn’t usually dress like this. What was it today... a little fashion freedom?

"Is Liang Laoshi here?" Little Mother approached, asking first.

Yang Fan nodded and gestured towards the inside of the village committee courtyard, "He said he was going to take a look inside first."

"I’ve found out what I was looking into as well," Zhou Wenhui said. "There haven’t been any deaths here since it became the village committee. But before, this place belonged to a landlord. According to the village elders, many people died here."

"The landlord’s surname was Yang, and no one knows his given name, just that he brutally tortured his main wife to death. It seems they were childhood sweethearts and shared a deep affection. But later on, the man developed a taste for other pleasures, but the main wife refused to accept him taking concubines. Besides, she came from a powerful family, and apparently, the landlord couldn’t afford to provoke her."

"Then, the landlord came up with a method, staging an ’accident’ that supposedly killed her. But in reality, she wasn’t dead – the landlord kept her hidden away, locked up in a dungeon, and subjected her to endless humiliation."
