With that said, the middle-aged woman turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Wu Dazhi:
"Auntie, it's good enough for us that you can let us live in here. How can I ask you to make the bedding for me? It's okay. Even though we are from the city, we are not that squeamish."
Seeing that the middle-aged woman had misunderstood, Situ Shasha hurriedly explained: "Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean anything else. It's just my first time going out with him. You know..."
At this point, Situ Shasha's face turned slightly red, and she looked a bit more shy than a young woman. When the middle-aged woman saw Situ Shasha like this, she was someone who had been there before, so she naturally understood and didn't say anything. She smiled and turned around and left.
But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Wu Dazhi:
"Auntie, please let me ask you something. Do you know if anyone has lost a child around here recently?"
Wu Dazhi asked, but his eyes were always observing the middle-aged woman's reaction. Sure enough, when Wu Dazhi talked about losing the child, the middle-aged woman immediately became vigilant:
"Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"
When Wu Dazhi saw her nervousness, he knew there was something going on, but he couldn't tell the truth yet, so he had to lie:
"When we came here just now, we met a little boy on the road. He said he was lost and couldn't get back home. He insisted on letting me take him to his house. You said that I was just here and unfamiliar with the place. Why? Maybe help him find a home,"
The more Wu Dazhi said, the uglier the middle-aged woman's face became. In the end, she turned pale. Wu Dazhi knew that she knew about the lost ghost.
"Then the child didn't come with you," asked Wu Dazhi. The middle-aged woman hurriedly looked at it with her eyes.
"Auntie, you are really good at joking. You don't care about the two of us," Wu Dazhi said with a smile in order to relieve the middle-aged woman's nervousness: "The kid saw that we refused to help him, so he went to find someone else."
Wu Dazhi's comforting words only elicited two dry laughs from the middle-aged woman. As soon as Wu Dazhi finished speaking, she turned around and walked out:
"You two go to bed early and don't talk about that child. You city people may not believe it, but we country people do. Don't say it, don't say it."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she slammed the door and left without waiting for Wu Dazhi to speak.
"It seems that the lost kid has not been here for a day or two." Looking at the middle-aged woman's trembling shoulders, Wu Dazhi felt helpless: "Okay, you can sleep on the bed tonight and have a good rest. We will have another meeting tomorrow." I'm on my way, but I don't know if I can find the woman. If I can't find her, it will be troublesome."
"If I sleep on the bed, where will you sleep?" Situ Shasha didn't care at all whether she could find Ou Zhanmei. In contrast, she was more concerned about where Wu Dazhi would stay tonight.
Wu Dazhi didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Situ Shasha's nervous eyes, he immediately understood what she was afraid of.
"Hey, little girl, can you stop thinking so much?" Wu Dazhi suddenly felt very funny: "If I had any bad thoughts about you, I would have attacked you on the road, and you would have nothing to do with me." A weak woman with the strength of a chicken..."
I don’t know whether what Wu Dazhi said was too scary, or whether Situ Shasha’s associations were too rich. The more Wu Dazhi explained, the more Situ Shasha hid in the corner.
"Come on, I think you should go to bed. I'll go out and take a look at Ruyan." Seeing Situ Shasha in such a state, Wu Dazhi definitely couldn't stay in the wing any longer.
Situ Shasha thought for a while, and finally felt that it was safer to let Wu Dazhi go out, so she nodded. Wu Dazhi shook his head helplessly, walked out of the room slowly, and saw Lin Ruyan and the lost kid standing in the yard.
He waved to the two of them, and the two of them floated in front of Wu Dazhi. Afraid of being seen by the middle-aged aunt, Wu Dazhi brought the two of them into the room:
"Little ghost, did you remember anything?" Wu Dazhi knew that it was very difficult to find time for his children, and he had to do his best to develop the little ghost's memory.
The lost kid shook his head. He had some clues just now, but every time he saw Lin Ruyan's cold face, all the clues turned into a mess again.
"Well..." The three people were talking, but Situ Shasha sat up and said, "Two ghost brothers, you should go out. There is a ghost who doesn't sleep standing in front of me. I really can't sleep."
Lin Ruyan glanced at Situ Shasha, just shook her head, and went out without saying a word. The lost kid liked Situ Shasha very much, but he felt that he was also a ghost and it would not be good to stay, so he followed Lin Ruyan silently. .
In view of the experience of being kicked out again before, Wu Dazhi didn't waste any time this time and followed the lost kid out.
"Hero, where are you going?" This time it was Situ Shasha's turn to be unwilling, so she ran down from the ground with bare feet, and then hugged Wu Dazhi's waist, as if she would never let him go.
Wu Dazhi was stunned and shocked, what was going on.
"Don't you worry about me?" Wu Dazhi smiled bitterly. It's really hard to guess what the woman was thinking. Just now, she acted like she wouldn't sleep unless she went out, but it changed so quickly.
"I'm even more worried about the ghosts outside," Situ Shasha finally said what was in her heart. She was worried about Wu Dazhi, but compared to the ghosts, Wu Dazhi was safer than the little white rabbit.
After struggling for a long time, Situ Shasha finally fell asleep, but she felt that she hadn't slept for a while before it was dawn. When she opened her eyes, she saw Wu Dazhi sitting on the chair, and she didn't know whether he had fallen asleep or not.
When Situ Shasha saw that Wu Dazhi was motionless, she originally wanted to take a nap, but as soon as she stretched herself, there were a lot of chatter outside.
Rural people are accustomed to getting up early, and there is nothing much to do in the early morning. It is normal for them to get together and gossip.
"She's twenty thousand, you said that the two young men who stayed at your house yesterday met that kid again,"
The person talking to Aunt Erwan was her neighbor. She had just eaten and was fine, so she came over to chat.
"No, I didn't dare to tell them that it was a ghost last night. If I told them, I wouldn't scare them to death."
When Aunt Erwan said this, Situ Shasha happened to come out of the shower. Not only did her expression not change after hearing this, she became a little more curious.
Now that Lin Ruyan can't show up to collect information, the intelligence collection task falls on her:
"Oh, auntie, you said the kid we met yesterday was a ghost,"
"Isn't that right?" When Aunt Erwan saw Situ Shasha coming out and heard herself speaking, she stopped hiding it and began to talk about the lost kid with added jealousy.
"It only took two or three years for this kid to start making noises." Seeing the excitement of Mrs. Erwan, everyone gathered around her: "Ordinary people don't dare to go out. For some reason, the dog in the village barked last night. One night, I wondered if that ghost had entered the village,"
