Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 736 Catching Ghosts
"Haunted? How is this possible?" Shen Yuan was also puzzled. This house has indeed been haunted by "ghosts", but it has been proved that they are all people! Now it is haunted again? It makes people wonder.

"It's really haunted. Your Aunt Bai and I saw it with our own eyes." Aunt Zhou's eyes were full of fear. "This morning when the sky was about to dawn, your Aunt Bai and I got up to start the fire and found that there was no dry firewood at home. Thinking of a few handfuls of dry firewood piled up over the bullpen, I lit a torch to carry them there.'

The cowshed of the Shen family was built near Yingxueju, Shen Yuan knew about it, so he nodded and continued to listen to what the aunt said.

The aunt paused, and continued: "When I got to the side of the cowshed, I slipped and fell into the snow, and I extinguished the torch. The two of us didn't know what to do, when we suddenly heard a squeak, and saw The corner door at Yingxue Residence was actually opened."

Aunt Bai added, "Although the moonlight in the sky is not very bright, you can see Yingxueju clearly under the reflection of ice and snow. I watched a white shadow come out of the corner door, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. up."

"This scene scared your aunt and me out of our wits. We both huddled outside the cowshed and didn't dare to breathe or move. We didn't crawl back home until after dawn." Aunt Zhou was terrified, "Later I also specially asked you Yongping brother to go to the corner gate of Yingxueju to have a look, the snow is very smooth, there is not a single footprint~~
Shen Yuan was also amazed after hearing this, if it is a human being, it is impossible not to leave footprints, but how can ghosts come out to move around when the sky is about to dawn?
This matter is strange!
After a moment of silence, Shen Yuan asked, "Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?"
"I look like a female ghost, quite petite." Aunt Bai said.

"That's right, it should be a female ghost." Aunt Zhou also nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, I got it." Shen Yu'an paused, and warned, "Don't reveal this in advance, so as not to cause panic."

After speaking, he patted the backs of the two people's hands, "Auntie, auntie, go back first, and I will investigate this matter clearly."

"Okay." Aunt Zhou and Aunt Bai agreed and went back.

Shen Yuyan glanced at Yingxueju, and was silent for a while, then went down to the mouth of the well to scoop up a spoonful of water, and brought it back to Beishan Mountain to be examined by Aqin.

Afterwards, she went into the village and borrowed a cage for catching snowbirds, and went to Yingxueju with grains and shadows.

"Master, are you~~ really going to catch a snowbird?" Shadow asked strangely, it didn't look like it.

"Of course not." Shen Yuan denied it, and said with a mysterious face, "It's not catching birds, it's catching ghosts."

"Catch ghosts? Where did ghosts come from?" Shadow used to be a soldier under General Wei Liang. Do people who struggled on the battlefield believe in ghosts?
"Yingxueju, Aunt Shen and Aunt Bai saw a fluttering white-clothed ghost with their own eyes this morning." Shen Yuan replied.Without saying much, the two quickly came to the snow field near Yingxueju with their bird-catching equipment.

Pretentiously put the bird cage in place, sprinkle grains as bait, and then hide at Yingxueju.

I didn't get too close, I looked at the corner door from a distance, and I didn't find any footprints. It's still the same sentence, it's impossible for someone to come out of the corner door without leaving footprints, which is really a bit weird.

"Master, don't you really think that this place is haunted?" Shadow looked at Shen Yuan, "There are 1 of us who survived the battle who didn't believe in this kind of thing. If there are ghosts, so many people died in that battle. Haunted by ghosts?"

"Pfft~~" Shen Yuan chuckled, "I didn't say I believed it, but I didn't say I didn't believe it either. After all, I won't jump to conclusions until the truth of the matter comes to light.'

"Then go into the house and check to find out. If there is really someone inside, there must be traces of activity." Shadow said.

"It's not the time yet." Shen Yuan shook his head, "Let's go, let's get out of here first."

After leaving Yingxueju, Shen Yuan should do what to do, continue to prepare for the New Year, put up window grilles, put up couplets, just like everyone else, but Yingying is always worried about this matter, thinking that Shen Yuan didn't plan to investigate.

Of course he was wrong. After nightfall, Shen Yuan called the shadow to hide in the cowshed of Uncle Shen's house, silently crawling.

The 'female ghost' only appeared at dawn, how could any ghost come out to move around at that time?
The reason why the news is blocked is that the 'female ghost' will not come back after leaving Yingxue Residence. There are so many women in the village, who knows who is pretending to be a ghost?
It's a pity that Shen Yu'an and Ying Ying kept watch all night and found nothing, and Ying Xueju was quiet and there was not a single ghost.

The next day, Shadow refused to let Shen Yuan go. It was too cold, so he taught Shen Yuan the cry of a night bird as a signal, and then he squatted there alone.

The night passed quietly again.

Until Ji Xun and Ji Xun came back on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yuan and Ying Ying still didn't see anything.

That night, everyone ate hot pot and chatted happily. After the meal, Aqin got up to clear the table. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Aqin turned her questioning eyes to Shen Yuan.

"Master, are you still going to guard tonight?"
"Go, of course you have to go, but you can't waste all your work." Shen Yuan replied affirmatively.

"Okay, then this subordinate will go now." The shadow finished speaking and left the main room, disappearing into the night.

"What's the matter? Who is squatting?" Ji Xun carefully wiped Shen Yu'an's small mouth with a handkerchief, and then took her Qianqianyu hand to hold it in the palm of his hand. His perfect handsome face was illuminated by the light, and his smile was so warm and charming. soft.

Ji Dong next to him was stunned. His Royal Highness Ye Wang, who was like an iceberg, would only show such a tender side when facing Princess Ye. True love! Absolute true love!
Shen Yuyan winked at Ji Xun ghostly, "Yingxueju, it's haunted again!"

"Really?" Ji Xun was surprised, and Shen Yuan then detailed what Aunt Bai and Aunt Zhou had seen and heard.

Hearing that the Murakami house was haunted, Ah Qin and Lin Yi both showed full interest and competed to analyze it.

One thought there was a ghost, and the other thought there was no ghost. They were chatting enthusiastically, when they suddenly heard a few crisp nightingales singing, which was a signal from the shadow.

Shen Yuan was immediately excited when he heard it. After so many days, the truth was finally revealed, and he couldn't wait to stand up.

"Go, catch ghosts."

"It's cold outside, wear thicker clothes." Ji Xun took out a thick velvet cape and put it on Shen Yu'an, and then the group of people carried lanterns to Yingxueju.
