"A friend of mine introduced her to me. She's more reliable," Huo Chen said.
Beitang Lie nodded. The figure of the little girl in red uncontrollably appeared in his mind again. The expression on his face was a little indescribable. "You saw that little girl just now. Is she a human or a ghost? "
This was the question he wanted to understand the most now.
"Did you see the little girl's shadow? Don't they say that ghosts don't have shadows? "Chi Jiao said slowly.
However, the others didn't notice this.
They were all focused on seeing the little girl's appearance.
But first of all, they were still a little far away, and second of all, the little girl's hair hung down and covered half of her face. Other than the little girl wearing a red cotton jacket and pants, and her face was deathly pale, they couldn't see anything else clearly.
Seeing Quan Jue, Huo Chen, and Pei Yao shake their heads, Beitang Lie shook his head as well.
"I specially observed her to see if she had a shadow," Chi Jiao said with a serious expression.
"Then, does she have a shadow?" Beitang Lie asked carefully.
"You want to know?" Chi Jiao blinked her big, watery eyes at Beitang Lie.
Beitang Lie was about to die from nervousness as he quickly nodded.
However, Quan Jue could already tell that Chi Jiao was deliberately teasing Beitang Lie. He looked at her helplessly and dotingly.
Huo Chen and Pei Yao could also tell that Chi Jiao was up to no good, but they chose to watch her make a fool of herself.
"I saw it very clearly at that time. Of course, that young lady is …" At this point, Chi Jiao suddenly reached out and flicked Beitang Lie's forehead.
Beitang Lie, who was already nervous to begin with, was so shocked by Chi Jiao's action that he almost cried out.
"Of course she has a shadow! I've already told you not to be so paranoid and scare yourself, "Chi Jiao said with a smile.
Beitang Lie was almost scared to death by Chi Jiao.
He covered his head with an aggrieved expression and looked at Chi Jiao. "I'm not afraid! “
Although he said that, he still heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It was fine as long as there was a shadow.
As long as it was not a ghost or anything else, he would not be afraid.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Ah Ping led a woman in with food.
That woman was about the same age as Ah Ping. She looked shorter and her skin was darker. She looked like an honest person.
"Mr. Huo, this is my wife, Xiao Xiu." Ah Ping smiled and introduced his wife to Huo Chen. "Today's meal was prepared by my wife. Regardless of whether it suits your tastes, everyone should eat something to warm up. Our village gets colder at night. Don't catch a cold. The witch doctor hasn't been in the village recently, so it won't be easy to treat her if she's sick. "
Feng Tong Village was rather feudal. Even now, the rules from hundreds of years ago were still being followed. When the villagers fell sick, they would seek treatment from the village doctor.
The meal was very simple. There were two dishes and a soup. The dishes were all vegetables, and the soup was the old-fashioned egg soup.
A family like Ah Ping's would only be willing to buy some meat during the New Year.
After the dishes were laid out, Huo Chen thanked Ah Ping before taking out an envelope from his coat pocket and handing it to Ah Ping.
"This is the deposit we agreed on. There's also money for the vegetables inside. I'll have to trouble you to buy some meat tomorrow. If you don't have enough, feel free to ask me for more, "Huo Chen said.
Ah Ping bent down and took the envelope, thanking him profusely.
