Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

"There's no ghost! I was the one shouting."

Hong'er said awkwardly.

Xiao Qi patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Miss Hong'er, when did you come? You scared me to death."

Hong'er clenched her toes and whispered, "Mr. Chen's story is so interesting, I couldn't help but come over."

"Sorry for scaring you."

Chen Lang said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, you are so timid. Miss Hong'er is not afraid, but you are so scared."

Xiao Qi blushed and said, "Sir, this doesn't count."

Chen Lang said: "Okay, I'm just teasing you."

"That's all for tonight."

Hong'er was very disappointed. She was just getting excited when she heard it. If she had known, she would not have shouted that voice.

Xiao Qi wanted Chen Lang to continue speaking to prove that he was actually very brave.

But as a servant, I dare not ask for anything from my boss and can only accept it in silence.

The two guards outside the door also had regretful expressions on their faces.

They were also listening attentively.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Xu Mengru's voice came: "Mr. Chen, please finish this story."

Chen Lang and others turned their heads at the same time and saw Xu Mengru with half of her head sticking out from the quilt. Her big eyes were fluttering and looked very bright under the reflection of the bonfire.

Hong'er asked, "Miss, when did you wake up?"

Xu Mengru coughed twice to hide her embarrassment and said, "I woke up when Master Chen was telling the story."

"Mr. Chen, can you continue?"

Seeing that everyone seemed unsatisfied, Chen Lang said, "Alright, I'll finish then."

"Where were we talking about?"

"The door is open." Xiaoqi answered quickly.

The scholar walked over to close the door, but found nothing outside.

He closed the door and returned to his table to continue reading.

After a moment, the window opened again by itself.

The scholar felt a little nervous, so he walked cautiously to the window and looked outside. Then he saw a beautiful girl standing outside the window, staring at him lovingly.

……

"Ning Caichen found Xiaoqian's ashes and buried her properly. Then he followed Yan Chixia and left Lanruo Temple."

Chen Lang picked up the kettle and took a few big gulps.

My throat is sore from talking all night.

Looking outside, it was already dawn.

Hong Er wiped her tears and choked up, "Mr. Chen has such a cruel heart."

Chen Lang said: "How could I be so cruel?"

"Xiao Qian and Ning Caichen love each other so much, why can't they be together?"

Xu Mengru actually thought so too, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

Chen Lang said: "There is a barrier between Yin and Yang, humans and ghosts cannot be together."

Xiao Qi blinked and said, "That's not right, sir."

Chen Lang asked, "What's wrong?"

"You clearly said that as long as you are brave enough, the female ghost will release..."

Chen Lang covered Xiao Qi's mouth with his hand and glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Qi: "Mmmmm..."

Xu Mengru asked curiously, "How brave is the female ghost?"

Chen Lang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, he was just talking nonsense."

"It's daybreak, time to set off."

After saying that, he pulled Xiaoqi out.

Hong Er pouted and said, "Miss, Xiao Qian is so pitiful."

Xu Mengru patted her head and said, "Okay, it's just a story."

"We will all be traveling with Master Chen from now on. When the time comes, he will tell you a happy ending story."

Hong'er thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think it's also good for Xiaoqian to be with Yan Chixia. At least Yan Chixia is very capable and can protect her."

Chen Lang happened to hear these words and was shocked.

Little girl, you were born in the wrong era. If you were born in the Internet age, with your brain, you would definitely become famous if you wrote CP articles.

After all, you can support such a weird CP like Yan Chixia and Xiaoqian!

After packing up, Chen Lang thought of something and asked Xiao Qi to wait outside with the Xu family's convoy, while he went to the place where Xu Mengru had gone to the toilet last night.

It’s not that Chen Lang has any perverted hobbies, but he wants to see what made Xu Mengru so confused last night.

According to Xu Mengru herself, it was a ghost speaking.

At that time, Chen Lang thought that Xu Mengru was frightened and talking nonsense. In addition, she covered her head and acted like an ostrich after returning to the lobby. Chen Lang did not ask more questions. Later, he was immersed in the atmosphere of storytelling and completely forgot about this matter.

Now that he was about to leave, Chen Lang thought about this matter again and decided to check it out.

See whether it is a human or a ghost.

Coming to the ditch behind the lobby, Chen Lang carefully investigated and actually found something.

A barefoot footprint on the wall.

Judging from how fresh the footprints are, they must have been left last night.

After Chen Lang wiped off the footprints, he returned to the team.

When Xu Mengru asked him what he was doing, Chen Lang casually said that he was going to urinate and did not mention that he found footprints.

After all, a footprint can't prove anything, and speaking about it will only add to the panic.

Be more careful on the rest of the journey. If someone really follows you secretly, let the Xu family's security guards deal with him.

This way I won’t be disobeying the teacher’s instructions.

The convoy continued on its way.

By the afternoon, thick dark clouds gathered in the sky again.

Immediately afterwards, there was lightning and thunder, and a heavy rainstorm was brewing.

Chen Lang parked his carriage next to Xu Mengru's, opened the window and shouted, "Miss Xu, we can't go any further. There's a forest ahead, and we could be hurt by lightning."

"Does your guard know of any place nearby where we can stay? If not, we'll have to find an open space to weather the rain."

Before he could finish his words, a bolt of lightning as sharp as a python suddenly descended from the sky, splitting a tree in front of him, as thick as a bowl, into two pieces in an instant.

Seeing this, the Xu family's driver said, "Miss, I know there's a village up ahead. We can take shelter there."

Xu Mengru said, "Then lead the way quickly."

The driver said, "Mr. Chen, have your servant follow me closely."

Xiao Qi said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely catch up."

Several carriages sped along the path.

About a meal's time later, a village appeared in front of us.

Everyone was cheered up when they saw this.

However, this excitement did not last long.

After the convoy entered the village, they found that the doors and windows of all the houses were closed.

The security guard ran to knock on the door, but no one answered.

Everyone's heart was hanging again.

The deserted village feels even more frightening than the charity cemetery.

The security guard did not give up and knocked on every door, from the beginning to the end of the village, but still no one responded.

"That's impossible. The land outside has obviously just been plowed. It can't be a deserted village." Xiao Qi wiped the rain off his face, his eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, Hong'er in the carriage pointed ahead and said, "There! There's someone!"
