.I didn't have time to deal with that, so I rushed out to see who was in the car.The bodyguard by the car obviously heard Master Mu's instructions and didn't stop me.The car windows were completely op...A well-behaved girl wouldn't be riding on the wall at midnight.

My brother has already gone in. As soon as he landed, he turned around and reached out his hand to me. I just need to pull him forward and slide down.

To my surprise, my lord Celestial Emperor appeared right at this moment by my side.

A chill ran down my spine and I instinctively pulled my neck in. Before I could even reach out to my brother, I lost my balance and slid down.

"...What are you so nervous about" Jiang Qiyun's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed the back of my windbreaker with lightning speed.

I hung on his hand, awkwardly smiling and saying: “ ... I was always scolded by you before, a little nervous.”

"When you were pregnant, could I not discipline you" Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly.

It doesn't really matter how high it is, I can just jump down myself.

However, there was a pile of clutter under the wall. My short legs couldn't reach over it.

"Come down! Your belly is showing! Be careful not to catch a cold!" My brother whispered to Jiang Qiyun on the wall.

Jiang Qiyun hummed softly and lifted me gently, letting me float down into the courtyard.

A wall separated two families, and their wealth disparity was stark.

Old Zou over there, because he followed Uncle Mo to trade in spiritual objects, had a good income and was the first in the village to build a big house.

And here, it's still a typical farmhouse. There are two rooms in the house, both with clay-tiled roofs. The courtyard is paved with cement and there are piles of sand, tools - they must be getting ready to renovate the house.

The courtyard was eerily silent. As we came to the window, we found no sound at all.

My brother pulled out a thin blade, the front part like an eagle's beak and curving downward, and with three or two cuts he pried open the window.

I honestly don't know what to say. My brother, with all his skills, has perfectly fulfilled the duty of an elder son and grandson. He has inherited the family business so flawlessly.

The main house was empty. My brother, following the same method, pried open the west room. The west room was still empty, but there were some strange noises, whimpers and sobs, like someone hiding under the bed.

My brother flipped inside and opened the door. I took two steps, wanting to stand up after which I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at my Majesty, Emperor, like a thorn in my back.

I turned back to look at Jiang Qiyun, hesitating and whispering, "Can I go in"

Jiang Qiyun laughed and said, “I’m not the first day seeing you stumble around like this. Why are you so nervous”

"Being caught red-handed while trying to bypass the firewall, I'm still a little nervous..." I muttered under my breath.

Jiang Qiyun's lips curled into a slight smile, carrying a hint of mischief: "Climbing over the wall is fine, but climbing up it is not."

I gave him a withering look. No matter the environment, he always looked ethereal and composed. Even if he made some earth-shattering decision, his face remained utterly impassive.

"Little Qiao…" My brother urged me from the doorway.

I rushed over, Jiang Qiyun watching me from behind.

Before I entered, I caught a glimpse of him seemingly looking up at the sky.

The sky was covered in layers upon layers of black clouds, obscuring the moonlight and making everything dark.

"There's a basement here." My brother pointed to under the bed, where the floorboards had already been pried open.

And there was a sound coming from inside. My brother used his flashlight to look around and found a corner inside. He dimmed the flashlight to its lowest setting, bit onto the copper amulet, and jumped in.

I trailed behind, clutching the jade ruyi in my hand, ever vigilant.

This must be the yard, two corners down, and the voices became clearer.

A man's voice was pleading desperately: "……Father, I was really wrong. Please let me out, it's almost suffocating down here."

"Nonsense, there's a ventilation shaft connecting to the well in the courtyard here. How could you have suffocated" The old man replied in a hoarse voice.

He and his son My brother and I huddled in the corner. My brother switched off all the lights, pulled out a small folding mirror from his pocket, and reached out with it.

In the mirror, the old man is smoothing out the cellar with a small shovel. A flashlight lies crookedly nearby. The cellar door is closed, and behind the iron bars on the door, a ragged man is pleading desperately.

"Father, I was really wrong. Please let me out..."

"Letting you out You little beast are going to mess around with that (crab) again! Don't you know what the situation is now!"

"You've kept me locked up for so long, how am I supposed to know what's going on... I'm going crazy! If you don't let me out, I'll... I'll kill myself!" the unkempt man threatened.

I glanced at my brother: no wonder we couldn't find the adulterer, he was already locked up.

The old man was panting, his voice trembling with excitement as he said: "It's not about you guys messing around and getting someone pregnant anymore! It's haunted!! Your cousin has already called in a Taoist priest. That woman is neither human nor ghost now, your cousin has already fainted... Just stay put! If you go out to mess with that woman again, you'll be dead!"

"They all said I wouldn't mess around with her again..."

"Won't you If it wasn't for you messing with her, this wouldn't have happened! Didn't you guys let this thing out!"

We heard a summary. Lao Zou is always away from home, and this woman got involved with Lao Zou's cousin.

Through a wall, on the second floor of the main house, they could climb through each other's windows and steal glances. Soon, their flirtation blossomed into an affair.

My brother carefully observed the small mirror, confirming that the old man had no dangerous items in his hands.

He suddenly darted out and tackled the old man from behind, throwing him to the ground.

The man in the cellar cried out anxiously, "You, you... who are you! My family is poor, we have nothing for you to rob! Please spare my life! Father, father, what's wrong with you!"

"Spare our lives, and tell us the truth. What's going on next door How much do you know" My brother pressed his knee against Grandpa's nape.

"Grandpa..." I squatted down and said to the grandpa whose face was flushed red, "You know it's haunted, and your son is involved. If you don't handle this well, can this earthen cellar protect you from vengeful spirits"

"Ghost, evil ghost" The grandfather's son trembled in fear: "How could there be an evil ghost..."

This “adulterer” was a coward. My brother just scared him a little, and he spilled everything.

"My cousin is hardly ever home, this wife who's less than thirty years old, how could she stand the loneliness, constantly flirting with me. Last year, starting in the second half of the year, I got together with her." The man said nervously.

One day in the middle of the night, I climbed over the wall and was discovered by my wife. Although she didn't catch me cheating, she knew what was going on and had a big argument with me. She went back to her parents' house, and after that, we dared not do anything at home anymore. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, we would go to the wilderness behind the mountains...

“These two years, the road construction around the village, we had to go to the abandoned temple in the back mountain... The weeds in that temple are taller than people, it's safe.”

"My father said that old people used to say that place was haunted, but isn't there a ghost story about every abandoned piece of land We didn't take it seriously... we'd go there every few days for some fun, oh! Dad, don't hit me..."

The old man was so angry that he took off his shoe and smashed it against the cellar door.

"Right before that, she told me Lao Zou was coming back and invited me to the back mountain. That day we were being pretty intense, and accidentally, she crushed a hollow stone slab, and her hand fell in…"

She lay on that stone slab and yelled at me, "Our old enemy, there seems to be money down here. I touched it."

“I thought it was incense money hidden in the temple before, so I reached in and touched it, pulling out a few crumpled pieces of paper. When I opened my phone to look, they were all scraps of paper. Just then she squirted (a small crab) water, so I wiped it off and threw it away casually…”

"After that, I always felt goosebumps all over and freezing cold. When I touched her [vulgar slang for female genitals], it was also icy cold like frozen pork. So I quickly finished, pulled up my pants and told her to leave."

“Thinking back now, it was a little strange at the time… Usually she'd be like a sow, rooting around happily. But that day, she just shivered and lay down on the stone slab, whimpering. I thought she was comfortable and didn't want to move, so I ran off myself... Now that I say it, under that stone slab... could there be… a ghost…”

My brother let go of the old man, sneering and saying, "I don't really want to save people like you, adulterers. What should we do, Qiao"

Mianmian rubbed her dark circles, looking at Xiao Qiao with a mournful expression and saying, "With today's afternoon schedule, I'm going to be late for spicy noodles again tonight. What should I do, Xiao Qiao!"

Xiao Qiao:：“……”st as uncouth and shameless as common brawls in the streets.The middle-aged woman's appearance caused even the most rebellious young woman, Arong, to fall silent.Dao Zong said calmly, "Sister, you're...
