1783 The Old Liang Family Residence (1)

After the middle-aged woman left, Song Yanru, He Liuqing, and Qi Hao’s hearts turned cold and their faces turned pale.

Although He Liuqing was scared out of her wits, she was the first to snap back to her senses. After calming down, He Liuqing felt that this middle-aged aunt was too much of a scaremonger who didn’t say anything good.

She had actually been scared by her words just now. He Liuqing was furious. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she couldn’t help but think of possible conspiracies. For example, this middle-aged aunt might have been deliberately bribed by someone to scare Yanru. When the time came and Yanru withdrew from the variety show, wouldn’t it be someone else who would benefit?

The more He Liuqing thought about it, the more she felt that might be the case. Seeing that Yanru’s face was deathly pale and she had been scared out of her wits, she hurriedly said, “Yanru, don’t think nonsense. I feel that this middle-aged aunt is just spouting nonsense. She deliberately doesn’t want us to participate in this variety show. If you don’t participate, there will be many other people willing to take your place. Don’t do as they want. Okay, get into the car; let’s hurry up and get to the old Liang family residence. I believe everyone will be there by now!”

He Liuqing’s words seemed to rouse Song Yanru. She forced a smile and nodded in agreement. “Okay, then… let’s get in the car first.”

Before getting into the car, she took a few more looks at Master Chi. Seeing her follow them, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Chi Shuyan’s attention was all on her cousin. He suddenly leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “Sister-in-law, do you think… what that aunt said just now is true? Is there really a problem with the old Liang family residence? Are we really going there?”

“It’s hard to say!” Without going to the old Liang family residence, she indeed didn’t know if there was anything wrong with the place. However, from the middle-aged aunt’s tone just now, it didn’t seem like the latter was lying. In short, whether there was anything wrong or not with the old Liang family residence, it was best to treat the aunt’s words seriously and be vigilant.

Qi Hao felt a little uncertain at his sister-in-law’s words. He wasn’t sure if he was afraid or not. In any case, after what happened at the burial mounds, he knew that there really were such terrifying things in this world. Qi Hao still shuddered whenever he thought of what happened back then. The only thing that comforted him was that his sister-in-law was by his side this time. If something really happened, she definitely wouldn’t abandon him. However, he still hoped that what the middle-aged aunt had said just now was just a rumor. He would go with his sister-in-law to the variety show this time, and nothing would happen.

Qi Hao still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Chi Shuyan patted his shoulder and told him not to speak for now. They would talk when they arrived at the Liang residence.

“Oh!” Qi Hao nodded obediently.

Not long after, the van went in the direction which the middle-aged woman had pointed out earlier and turned into a long and narrow side lane. They drove for ten minutes before they arrived at the entrance of the old Liang family residence.

The old Liang family residence was located at the very end of the lane and at the foot of a mountain; it was a very remote location.

Moreover, almost all the houses along this lane were empty, and this place didn’t get sunlight all year round. It was very quiet, while the occasional cries of birds gave the place a creepy feeling.

In contrast, it was lively outside the lane, which had many inhabitants as well as a market. It was like two different worlds, which was very strange.

“This is it, we’re really here, Yanru!” He Liuqing didn’t expect the old Liang family residence to be so remote. After sizing up the rundown Liang family residence, she started to look around. The surrounding houses were also all rundown, and all of them were empty. Apart from a few bird cries, there was no sound at all. She rolled down the window, and a chill ran down her back in the cold wind. He Liuqing couldn’t help but complain, “What the hell is this place? There’s no sun here at all!”

It had to be pointed out that it was still noon. Outside the lane, the sun had been quite bright and warm. However, as soon as they entered the lane, it was as if evening had fallen, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of sunlight. The surroundings were rundown and terrifyingly quiet. If someone came here on their own, they might really be scared.

Since the production team had chosen to film here, however, He Liuqing knew that neither she nor Yanru had a choice. Afraid that Yanru would think too much, she hurriedly changed the subject. “Yanru, we’re here. Let’s get out of the car. Maybe the others are already here. Let’s go in and talk.”

As soon as He Liuqing finished speaking, the faint sound of chatter and laughter rang out from inside the old Liang family residence. He Liuqing immediately forgot the creepy feeling and smiled. “Look, I told you there are people already here. Let’s go in and greet everyone.”

With that, He Liuqing got out of the van first. Song Yanru didn’t have time to reply, when she heard a few crisp cracks under He Liuqing’s feet. The latter immediately screamed and looked down to find that she had stepped on several black beetles. She was immediately disgusted and couldn’t help but curse, “What the hell is going on here? Why are there so many bugs?” She said to Song Yanru, “Yanru, be careful when you get out of the car. There are many bugs on the ground. It’s really disgusting. Why are there so many bugs?”

Qi Hao got out at that moment. He looked around and said considerately, “It’s just a few bugs. It’s fine, it’s fine!” After saying that, he called for his sister-in-law to get out. Afraid that his sister-in-law might be afraid of bugs, Qi Hao crouched down and said, “Sister-in-law, there are a lot of bugs on the ground. I’ll carry you in.”
