The Exorcist

Vol 4 Chapter 13: Villa

Xiaowang Town was originally called Xiaowang Township in the northwestern suburbs of city a.

It used to be a poor village, famous for producing fine liquor and skilled masons. But for the locals, there was only one big landlord named Yan, and then a young leader and a young master from the Yan family. The rest were just poor farmers and small workshop owners who were struggling.

After the liberation, especially in recent years, as Zhanxiaowang Township in City A has become a famous scenic special zone with its beautiful natural scenery, it has gradually prospered and now it has become a wealthy town. In the eyes of the three newcomers, apart from people's accents and artificial scenery, the other facilities are almost indistinguishable from city a.

"Are you sure you will find the Earthbound Spirit here?" Wanli asked.

They just moved into a hotel. Although it is a villa-style building built in the mountains, it is not so luxurious, but it has three-star specifications and even suites are provided, which solves their housing problem.

Because most of the rooms in the hotel are vacant during the off-season for travel and the things they handle may be very dangerous, it is best not to stay too far away to facilitate mutual care. But it must also be considered that it is not convenient for Xiaoxia to live with the two men after all. Now it’s much better to have a suite. Xiao Xia sleeps in the room. Two men sleep outside.

"Not sure but this is the only clue." Ruan Zhan said while packing his simple luggage.

"Yes." Wanli is not as regular as Ruan Zhan, but first lie comfortably on the sand and rest. "All the external factors point to this. If our goal is the person who built the house, even the person who designed the house was at that time. The green gang is responsible for these construction projects from here, and the goal can be roughly determined. Although there is no clear evidence to prove who the craftsman is, the craftsman here is originally the best craftsman. So it seems that everyone in the village is very popular. Maybe the fertile water will not flow to outsiders' fields."

"It is true that many places have their own traditional industries. This is because of this kind of mutual assistance between relatives and friends and the countryside. This project was a big business at the time, although the bulk of the money could not be in the hands of poor craftsmen, but to support the family. It’s okay to live for a while."

"Maybe you can marry a daughter-in-law!" Wan Li smiled. "Actually, I heard that it is better not to build a house when the weather is cold, but at the beginning maybe the rich businessman in Zhejiang Province was eager to pay bribes and started construction before the spring blossoms. The season is almost the same now."

"It's a bit cold now." Ruan Zhan glanced at Xiao Xia.

Although the beginning of spring, but the weather is still winter, the mountain is even more chilly. In addition, since the guests only have three of them, another family of three and a few remaining service staff, the self-heating of the hotel is not very hot at all, so Xiaoxia cleaned it up. The good stuff was dressed thickly nestled in the sand near the heater and listened to the two men talking, wrapped up like a little hairy ball.

"But--what's the matter with that Earthbound Spirit?" She asked a question.

"Earth-bound spirit is a kind of Japanese Yin-Yang Dao. It means that the dead people have deep feelings or thoughts for a particular place, and their souls will stay there and not walk to complete the deceased’s wishes for completion, which is what we Chinese people say. Haunted. Generally speaking, the strength of this kind of soul power lies in the feelings in the heart. No matter the stronger the love and hatred, the greater the strength of the soul.” Ruan Zhan explained, “I suspect that the ghost is the earth bound spirit although I don’t know why he is lurking. I only showed up for so many years, and I don’t know why he still doesn’t have his breath on Ronghua Road, but I think he is related to it, so I have to find the person who built the house back then."

Xiaoxia nodded and drew deeper into the sand, not only cold, but also a little uneasy.

Ruan Zhan looked at him and knew that she was afraid of the cold and felt sorry for her being frozen, but he had no other way to choose.

It's not that he has to live in the hotel. There are also hotels in the town, but that place is a very lively place. Many young people who are too yang will not be lurking there. But this mountain is different from its vast expanse, which can hide all good or ugly things. It is said that they came as travelers, although it is a bit weird at this season, but it is easier to conceal and not be too eye-catching than their big thorns and no excuses.

He didn't know who else was watching in secret and had to be careful!

"How do I feel like a treasure hunt?" Wanli led Xiaoxia to speak, "It seems to be more exciting to think like this."

"Of course you have never seen someone as optimistic as you." Xiaoxia immediately replied Wanli, "Even if the sky falls, you still laugh at Mimi."

"He is scared to be silly, do you treat him as brave?!"

As soon as Ruan Zhan spoke thousands of miles away, they immediately fought back, and the two began to attack each other again.

Xiaoxia really didn't understand their way of emotional communication and turned her head and looked out the window with a smile.

When they came, it was still sunny in the afternoon. At that time, looking at this mountain hotel built on the hillside, I felt very beautiful. Even though it was winter, the green tiles and red walls hidden in the dark and majestic mountains were still extraordinary.

But the night in the mountains seemed to come very fast, and it went dark after a while, and it was still cloudy, and there was a strong wind as if it was about to snow. At this time, it appeared that the people and the mountains were too quiet except for the whining wind in the mountains, and the unknown animals were croaking in the dark. It was very weird.

At dinner, the three of them ran to chat with the left-behind service staff, in fact they wanted to inquire about some gossip. When Xiaoxia first refused to go because she was afraid of the cold, she was dragged by two men. Don't say that she stayed alone in the room wouldn't be warmer. It's not appropriate to leave her alone in this state of emptiness.

"Don't underestimate these gossips. Many of the most important clues are derived from the gossip. The uncle who burns the heater is a well-known know-it-all, of course, and of course the value of small talk." Wan Li commented that they took a lot of food. The act of running to the boiler room again.

The heating boiler room is warmer than other places! This is Xiaoxia's first recognition and then when she met the kind and talkative old man, she felt that it was right to come out with these two men.

The old man's name Yan is almost seventy years old, but he is as tough as fifty.

"It's really strange for you to come to the mountains at this time." The old man drank a few sips of their filial wine and started talking.

"The three of our friends who grew up together never got one piece together." Wanli is very good at lying. "It's not easy to get together so I want to come out and have fun, and this dead girl is not easy to get together." It depends on the snow scene in the mountains."

"Ah, it's a coincidence that there will be heavy snow on this day. I see that every day is red." The old man pointed out the window.

Xiaoxia looked out and saw that the sky became more overcast, and the darkness was faintly red, and she shuddered when she remembered the feeling that was darker than black when she met a ghost that day.

"Friend." The old man laughed and joked, "I thought she was one of you's little daughter-in-law!"

"I think, but she seems to like that dumb bad guy." Wanli said half-truth.

Ruan Zhan lowered his eyes as if he hadn't heard, Xiao Xia was so angry that he almost went up to bite him, but he was embarrassed by being exposed and blushed without moving.

"Haha, girl, sit here and see you are cold." The old man saw Xiaoxia embarrassed to start the topic, "It's not that I'm not good at burning, but the leader only gives me so much coal. I have to do this. Come here, girl, don't get cold."

Seeing Xiaoxia sitting in a warmer and safer corner, Ruan Zhan's nervousness finally relaxed. "I heard that a very famous liquor was produced here." He moved the topic in the direction he wanted to ask.

"Yeah. But I can't get out now." The old man said regretfully and took another sip of the wine they brought and shook his head. Slowly, wine won’t be done."

"Isn't it said that every family has ancestral home building skills?" Wan Li then asked, "Isn't all the young people who are building houses now going to contract labor to build buildings?"

"You said that this is because every household in our town has a good hand in building houses. This villa is built by our village. There is a contractor team, but because it has become a famous place, the people in the village rely on this. Who will kill after eating. Why? Do you want to build a house?"

"No." Wanli waved his hand quickly. "We came from city a and saw a lot of western buildings. I heard that they were built by a designer who came from here."

"Oh this!" The old man laughed proudly. "This is the right thing to ask me. That is my ancestor. Although we are relatives of Wufu, we also have some relatives! We have been out in the past 100 years. I heard my father say that such a great talent who studied abroad was a sensation at the time."

"Then he didn't help the folks in the village less after he returned, right?" Ruan Zhan hurriedly interrupted.

"Alas, people are the eldest masters of the big landlords, and what kind of care do poor relatives like us and other poor families have?"

"But I heard that when he built those bungalows, he used his hometown craftsmen." Wan Li insisted on adding weight to the topic.

"Well, you know a lot about this."

"This nasty man works in the library." Wan Li attacked Ruan Zhan again. This made Xiaoxia almost laughed. She finally knew how naive a man was.

"It's no wonder that I know so many things." The old man looked at Ruan Zhan with a little admiration. "Because the Yan family also produced a young gang leader who was in charge of masons. I heard that the man who built those houses was a rich man. Let the youth gang and that guy make a lot of money and make a name for themselves in their hometown, so it is indeed the work done by the people in the village. Although they took a small amount of money, they made a lot of money because of the big work, so many people didn’t make a living at home. So tight. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Can I still marry a daughter-in-law?" Wan Li didn't forget to joke.

Unexpectedly, the old man gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, back then, there were more than a dozen strong laborers who stayed outside for a year and did bring some money back. Their descendants lived in the village at the foot of the mountain, but they were envious of other families back then!"

"Which family are they?" Ruan Zhan asked, "I really like that house and want to study how to build it. Some of their descendants still retain their craftsmanship, right?"

"Craftsmanship? Those old people still have eyesight. But-you better not go now." The old man groaned.

"Why?" The three people came immediately. Is there any abnormality in the spirit?

"When my grandson brought me clothes the day before, he said that the village has not been so peaceful these days!"

"Not peaceful?" the three asked almost in unison.

But before the old man answered, there was a sharp knock on the window.
