Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 373: Ghost Hunt (Part 2)

"Ha!"

As they were walking, the once pitch-dark main room suddenly lit up with candlelight, not far away.

"Shh!"

The Broker and the driver took a few steps back in fright, just about to scream, but were stopped by Duan Yunfei.

Lowering his voice, he said, "If you’re scared, you can wait in the carriage first, we’ll go meet that ’ancient fierce ghost’."

The Broker’s voice trembled, "Young master, what if the fierce ghost eats people?"

"Eat people?" Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, "Relax, my skin is thick, the fierce ghost probably won’t like it."

Shen Qinglan rolled her eyes at him in the dark and continued to walk forward.

Duan Yunfei signaled the Broker and the driver to return first, and he stepped lightly, catching up with Shen Qinglan.

Watching the two’s figures disappear around the corner, the Broker couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Thinking: These two kids are too bold!

Just at this moment, a chilly wind came timely, scaring them into a shiver, they hurriedly supported each other and ran towards the door.

As Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei had just rounded to the back of the main room, they heard low sobbing sounds coming from inside, sounding like a young girl’s voice.

Softly moaning in the darkness, it truly was a bit frightening.

Shen Qinglan gently broke the seal with her finger and leaned in to look inside.

By the candlelight, an eight or nine-year-old girl sat on the ground wiping her tears, and opposite her sat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Boohoo—Mother, that five taels of silver has been taken by father again!"

Shen Qinglan’s eyes shifted slightly downward, only to see a skinny, bony woman lying between them.

"Ah Jiu, don’t cry!" The woman raised her skin-and-bones finger, gently caressing the young girl’s cheek, weakly saying, "Mother is fine!"

"How can you be fine?" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl wiped her tears, angrily said, "That was your life-saving money, and he took it to gamble, knowing there’s no money yet goes gambling every day, why doesn’t heaven send down thunder to strike him dead!"

"Ah Xiang! Cough cough—" The woman lightly rebuked with all her strength, leading to a heavy cough, "He is your father!"

"He’s not my father!" The girl named Xiao Qi sneered, said in a dark voice, "He’s just my stepfather, if it wasn’t for Ah Jiu’s sake, I would’ve slashed his neck long ago!"

This Ah Xiang and Ah Jiu were the two young girls selling flowers on the street today. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"What did you see?"

Duan Yunfei only heard the voice but didn’t see the situation inside, so he hurriedly whispered to her.

Shen Qinglan withdrew her gaze, whispered, "They’re the little girls selling flowers on the street!"

Duan Yunfei smiled silently, "I really didn’t expect that the ’fierce ghost’ turned out to be two girls."

"Who’s over there?"

A sharp voice came from inside the room, followed by a "creak", and a shadow flew out.

Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan instinctively stepped back in sync.

"It’s you!"

The girl’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring at them warily, coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Qinglan replied calmly, "This will be my courtyard in the future, I heard the Broker say it’s haunted, and it’s an ancient fierce ghost, so naturally, I want to see what this ’fierce ghost’ looks like."

The girl’s body stiffened, responded stiffly, "We’re just staying here temporarily, we’ll be moving out soon!"

"Staying temporarily?" Shen Qinglan scoffed lightly, "I heard that when the ’fierce ghost’ shows up, the former owner still seems to live here."

"I—" The girl hesitated, then said solemnly, "They have ghosts in their hearts, it has nothing to do with me!"
