Chapter 252 [252] Not staying here for nothing
After lowering his eyes and pondering for a moment, Gong Yulinxu spoke again and instructed Mei Ling: "Go and explore again."
The spirit was puzzled at first, but when it came to its senses, it clasped its hands together, bowed, and quietly flew out of the window.
This investigation is different from the last one, and it cannot be done openly.
"Phantom, send some people to protect the Jiang family's women."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Outside the wing room, the rain was still pouring heavily, and in half an incense stick of time it turned into a downpour.
Before the charm spirit came back, the village guard came over with a lantern and knocked on the door of Gong Yulinxu's room.
After the door to the wing was opened from the inside, the farmkeeper straightened up slightly and said, "It seems that the rain will not stop tonight. If the rain subsides soon, please leave as soon as possible. We don't accept outsiders here."
The village guard who came was the blind old woman lighting a lantern whom everyone had seen at the village gate.
The ghost at the door turned around and looked at Gong Yulinxu who was sitting at the square table: "Master."
"It's raining really hard tonight. If we continue our journey, with no village in sight and no inn to be found, sleeping outdoors would be very inconvenient. Furthermore, I'm frail and can't stand the strain or the wind. Furthermore, my family, including both elders and female relatives, are accompanying us, making it even more unsuitable for us to travel day and night. Therefore, I beg Mother-in-law to be flexible and allow us to stay here for the night."
Gong Yulinxu did not look at the guard at the door of the wing room. He just held the teacup in his hand, covered the floating tea foam with the cup lid a few times, and then drank the tea that had just been filled.
He spoke of negotiation, but his tone was unyielding.
Although the man guarding the farm couldn't see it, she could feel that the person sitting in the center of the room was very noble.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to compromise, but...anyway, you should leave quickly...otherwise, if anything happens to the nobles in the middle of the night, I can't be held responsible!"
When they heard that something was going to happen, Gong Yulinxu and Meiying exchanged glances.
However, neither of them spoke.
Now I can’t leave anymore, I have to find out what’s going on!
"Just now, I, the old woman, clearly told you that this is a charity cemetery..."
The man guarding the village did not give up and emphasized again where he was at the moment.
Even if it is a non-proper charity cemetery, it is still a cemetery called charity cemetery!
What kind of place has charity cemetery been from ancient times to the present?
That was a place where coffins were stored and corpses were laid to rest. Furthermore, the dead were either killed suddenly or unjustly, and their bodies were left unclaimed...
After a long time, not only will the surroundings be filled with gloomy energy, but resentful spirits may also gather...
Normally, the people who guard the village are those who are deficient in the five elements and have congenital deficiencies.
"Mother-in-law, we're not renting you out tonight for free. We'll pay you whatever you want. We won't bargain or make false promises."
The room where Jiang Fugui and Old Lady Jiang were staying was right next to Gong Yulinxu's, so when she heard the noise, she opened the door of the room and came to the side of the man guarding the farm.
After hearing the noise and realizing there was someone nearby, the village guard turned his head and "looked" to the right.
"Mother-in-law, there are so many of us that we occupy four side rooms. Is eight taels of silver enough for one room? If not, how about ten taels? Four side rooms, forty taels in total."
The village guard didn't respond and seemed to be thinking.
So Jiang Fugui said again: "We will settle the bill when we leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, the farm guard frowned. He would settle the bill when he left tomorrow, which meant he had to stay here tonight, without a doubt!
