C88 (2/2)
”My friend is very reliable, he won't make any mistakes. It is said that this villa was built over a hundred years ago, and there are three families that lived in this house. However, none of them lived past half a month.”
Qiu Baihe put down his book, and said very seriously. Looking at him, it really didn't seem like he was teasing me, so I at least believed that this information was true.
”Let's take the plane first, then we can take the train. This place is a little remote, so we should need to take on some farm vehicles. It seems like we'll have to put in a lot of effort this time.”
Bai Hua took the map from me and looked at it herself, then complained with a crying face.
I awkwardly laughed, but did not say anything. After all, suppressing that evil ghost was my own problem, but I couldn't do it myself, so I could only ask Bai Hua to help me.
”Since that's the case, let's set off as soon as possible. The earlier we finish, the faster we can move. This way, you won't have to continue being afraid!”
Bai Hua saw that my expression was a little unnatural, and said while smiling. Seeing that she had recovered her spirited and happy look, my heart also became a lot more open-minded.
In the early morning of the second day, Jin Weilong had already helped us pack our things. This time, after all, the road was very far, rather than going back continuously, it would be better for us to just drive, or at least Bai Hua agreed to it. Thus, the two of us hired two drivers to help us drive, while the two of us sat in the back seat to eat and chat, while enjoying the scenery at the side of the road.
Not long after we drove away, Bai Hua hastily showed us on the map the villa we were heading to, in order to let the driver see where we are.
”Master, we're going to this place. How much do you know about this place?” Bai Hua curiously leaned on her chin, her big eyes blinking, the driver immediately looked at the result map with a good temper.
The driver looked for a long time before saying uncertainly, ”So you are going to that place. That place is a village, I don't know its actual name, but that place has no sights, and it is extremely poor. Miss Bai, why are you going there?”
”I have a relative living there. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we wanted to take a look!”
I casually made up an excuse that was filled with holes. The moment I finished speaking, Bai Hua rolled her eyes at me.
I didn't expect the driver to believe me, or maybe it wasn't because he didn't believe me anymore, but because he was too lazy to continue asking. After all, to them, making money is the most important thing, and as for why we go there, it has nothing to do with them.
I winked at Bai Hua, telling her to watch over my things while I slept leaning on my seat. Bai Hua had slept for the entire day, and right now, she was also not able to fall asleep, so I waved my hand towards him, eating snacks while daydreaming towards the outside. I leaned on the back seat, and blurrily heard those two drivers saying something, but I was too sleepy, so I didn't hear anything clearly and fell asleep.
”Hey, you're finally awake. Why are you still sleeping like a pig? ”After you fell asleep, the two people started to chat. It seems like Martial Uncle was right about that place. These two drivers have also heard about the ghosts in that village. There aren't many households left now.”
I rubbed my eyes and woke up, then Bai Hua rushed to my side and said excitedly. I nodded my head and realised that the car had stopped and the two drivers were nowhere to be seen.
