Chapter 99

Outside, a crowd had gathered, curious about what had happened. They had heard the screams earlier that morning.

Of course, Xiao Yichen and Gu Beihui were among them. Seeing the miserable state of the group, they both touched their noses. Who could have been so ruthless?

No one went to see Xia Dabao yet because Gao Meihua and the others had just woken up to the sound. They also cried out in surprise.

The captain was having a headache. He quickly went to another room to see what had happened.

The captain stood outside and asked, “Dahai, what happened? Can you come out and tell me? It’s not good to shout and scream so early in the morning.”

Xia Dahai was walking as if he were floating, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He finally managed to grab his coat and put it on. Then he opened the door tremblingly.

Seeing the captain, the big man immediately started crying, “Captain, there are ghosts! You have to help me. I don’t want to be eaten by ghosts.”

He then knelt down in front of the captain. The captain was quick and pulled him up. If someone knelt down to him, he would be in trouble. It would be considered superstitious.

The captain snapped, “Xia Dahai, wake up! Did you have a nightmare last night? Where did the ghosts come from? Do you want to make me kneel? Are you trying to harm me?”

“I think you’re all too full and have nothing better to do. You’re just looking for trouble. None of you are sensible.”

Xia Dahai: “Captain, I’m not lying. There are really ghosts! Last night, my hands and feet were eaten by ghosts.”

The onlookers saw that Xia Dahai was perfectly fine, but he said his hands and feet were eaten by ghosts. It seemed like he either hadn’t woken up properly or had a nightmare. They shook their heads. They thought something big had happened, but it was just this.

They were about to turn around and go back to eat breakfast when they heard another sound coming from Xia Dabao’s room. He was screaming miserably.

The nosy people immediately opened the door to Xia Dabao’s room. They smelled the smell inside and covered their noses. TND, did Xia Dabao poop and pee in the room? They all backed away, they didn’t want to smell that.

Someone stood at the door and said, “Xia Dabao, come out quickly! The smell is too strong. I didn’t expect you to be so unhygienic.”

They waited for a long time, but no one came out. Someone covered their nose with their clothes and went inside. When they saw Xia Dabao’s miserable state, they also cried out in surprise.

The captain: “Is everyone possessed this morning? Everyone likes to shout and scream. What happened? Can someone tell me?”

The person came out, patted his chest, and looked like he was really scared. After calming down, he quickly said, “Captain, you should go in and take a look at Xia Dabao. He’s probably only got half a life left.”

The onlookers were puzzled. The Xia family was fine last night. How come they all ended up like this after sleeping? Did they really encounter ghosts?

The captain’s blood pressure shot up. What was going on? He might as well faint.

Forget about the others, even he wanted to go and pray to the gods. It was too supernatural. The Xia family didn’t know who they had offended. Everyone else was fine, but something happened to their family.

When a few men from the village carried Xia Dabao out, everyone was shocked. Not only were his right hand and right foot broken, but he had also bitten his tongue. He would probably have difficulty speaking in the future.

His face was bruised and pale, he was probably scared. No one knew what happened to this family last night. How come everyone was so scared?

Xiao Yichen guessed that it was his Xuanxuan who had done it. He just didn’t know what method she used to scare these people. Unfortunately, he missed the good show last night.

They deserved it. These people were so cruel and bullied a little girl before. They deserved to end up like this. Xuanxuan was still merciful. If it were him, he would have broken both their hands and feet.

Revenge shouldn’t be soft-hearted, otherwise, it would leave trouble for yourself. But even if someone went to the police, they wouldn’t find anything. Because he had also observed the surroundings. The doors, windows, and the door were all intact, there were no signs of forced entry, and nothing was missing. This would probably become a cold case.

Since Xuanxuan didn’t leave any evidence, Xiao Yichen and Gu Beihui left. The smell was too strong, they could smell it from far away, it was too overwhelming.

When they returned home, Xia Yunxuan had already washed up and was getting ready to make breakfast. She knew there would be a big show this morning, so she slept for an extra half hour.

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, why did you sleep so long this morning? You missed the big show. You don’t know, the Xia family is really miserable.”

“Oh!” Xia Yunxuan pretended to be surprised. “Second brother, what big show did I miss? Tell me quickly. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Xiao Yichen watched Xuanxuan’s performance. She was really flawless. This little girl’s heart was really good. She did such a big bad thing and pretended to be nonchalant. No one suspected her.

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, I’ll just tell you, you don’t need to see it. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to eat breakfast. Xia Fabao, I don’t know what happened, but he pooped and peed all over himself. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me smell it. I have to go wash my hands.”

Xia Yunxuan: “She said deliberately, “He’s so old, and he’s so unhygienic. It seems like he won’t find a wife.”

Gu Beihui: “Sister-in-law, he can forget about a wife for the rest of his life. Besides, his hands and feet are broken, what girl would want to marry him? He also bit his tongue and can’t speak. There’s another bachelor in the village.”

Xiao Yichen sat behind the stove and lit the fire. Xia Yunxuan started making breakfast. She was in a good mood today, so she decided to make a famous braised noodle soup. It sounded delicious. She also steamed some buns and fried an egg for each of them.

After half an hour, they started eating breakfast. The three of them ate happily, but the captain and the nosy villagers were miserable. They couldn’t ask anything.

Whenever they spoke, they just said that there were ghosts last night. They couldn’t say anything else. Old Lady Hezi’s mouth was still stretched open. She would probably drool when she spoke from now on.

The captain asked Old Man Xia how he was going to handle this.

Old Man Xia didn’t have any other ideas. He just said that he had to find someone to help him catch ghosts.
