Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 372: Catching Ghosts (Part 1)

"Sir, sir, are you really going?"

The broker’s heart was still filled with fear.

"I’ve lived so many years without seeing a ghost, so naturally, I want to go and watch." Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Why? Is Mr. Chen scared?"

"N-no, I haven’t done anything bad, so naturally I’m not afraid of ghosts, ghosts knocking on the door!"

The broker’s voice trembled terribly, yet he still had to pretend to be calm, which made the two of them find it both funny and absurd.

Duan Yunfei’s smile remained unchanged as he said, "Then let’s set off now."

"N-now?" The broker swallowed hard, "Could you two wait a moment while I go prepare?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Hurry and get back quickly."

The broker, upon hearing this, immediately turned around and slunk back into the house.

Shen Qinglan looked at Duan Yunfei and said, "Do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"

"Ghosts?" Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, "I’ve never seen a real ghost, but I’ve seen plenty pretending to be one."

Shen Qinglan was speechless and suddenly wanted to see the true face of this "thousand-year-old fierce ghost."

When the broker came back out, the two of them were dumbfounded.

"Miss, here’s one for you!" The broker handed a yellow talisman to Shen Qinglan and another to Duan Yunfei, "Sir, this one’s for you!"

The two of them took the yellow talismans, glanced at each other, and then tacitly returned them.

Duan Yunfei stifled his laughter and said, "We don’t need these, you better keep it, Mr. Chen! You haven’t even stuck it on your back yet."

"Ah?" The broker was startled, and quickly stuck a few on his back.

Duan Yunfei teased, "Didn’t Mr. Chen say you haven’t done anything bad? Why so many talismans?"

"Well... you see..." The broker said awkwardly, "The Taoist said sometimes the ghost doesn’t discriminate, so to be safe, it’s better to have more!"

"Is this... a wooden peach sword?" Shen Qinglan looked at the wooden sword in his hand and asked.

"Yes!" The broker laughed, "The Taoist said this wooden peach sword can ward off evil and exorcise spirits, so I bought one."

Duan Yunfei cleared his throat, "Since Mr. Chen is all prepared, shall we head out?"

The broker nodded, "Let’s go, let’s go!"

The two of them followed the broker, taking a carriage all the way to Fugui Street, and by the time they entered Zhaocai Lane, it was already the hour of the rooster. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The sky of the Capital was already gloomy, and by the hour of the rooster, it was basically dark all around.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a house.

"Sir, do you really want to go in?"

At the sight of the courtyard, the broker couldn’t help but feel nervous again.

Duan Yunfei curved his lips, "We’re here already, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip if we didn’t go in?"

Hearing this, the broker forced a few laughs and hurried forward to open the main gate.

Inside, it was all dark and quiet, with several privet trees in the courtyard. When the wind blew, they made a rustling sound, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan walked in front, while the broker held the wooden peach sword and silently followed with the carriage driver.

As soon as they entered the inner courtyard, Duan Yunfei looked around and whispered, "The courtyard is quite big, but there are too many large trees. It would be best to chop some down."

"You’re absolutely right, sir!" The broker glanced around and, seeing no ghosts or monsters, whispered, "I suggested the same to the family before, but they said more trees were better! Later, the Taoist said it was because there were too many trees here that attracted evil spirits!"

Duan Yunfei smiled but said nothing.
