As soon as he went out, although the corridor was dark, Yan Yan could tell that it was still a wooden house.

"It's really strange." Yan Yan murmured to himself.

When walking through the patio, Yan Yan raised his head and looked up.

The patio is made of wood to form a nine-square grid, and wooden boards are placed on top to cover all the places where light can shine through in the wooden house.

The only thing she could see clearly was the circular pool under the patio, which was about the same size as the wellhead.

In the middle stands a lampstand, with a delicate candle burning on it.

I don’t know what kind of lamp oil was burned, but I could smell a strange fragrance while standing under the patio.

Yan Yan was in a hurry to check other rooms. He only glanced at the patio and continued walking along the corridor.

She stood in front of the house and did not open the door immediately.

If she remembered correctly, go right from the corridor at the entrance to the patio, and the first room belongs to the aunt.

Yan Yan was careful this time and slowly opened the door. The cold air still hit her face, so she closed the door again.

Just like the previous stone house, you couldn't see anything in the house. You only took two steps and you came across a stone bed.

This time the person lying on the stone bed was an adult, and Yan Yan reached out and touched it.

The limbs, torso, and head are all still there.

There are no shortage of facial features, and you can still reach out and touch the eyeballs at the position of the eyes.

After the first time, this time Yan Yan already had some confidence in his heart. After making sure that the person lying on the stone bed was not moving, he took out the fire folder and opened it.

"Ka-ka!"

The moment he caught his eye, Yan Yan closed the fire folder again.

Yan Yan blinked and opened the fire folder again.

The stone bed was awash in red, the color so bright it was eye-catching.

The aunt was still wearing the festive clothes she wore when dancing around the bonfire, but her face was scarier than the girl's.

The wrinkles on the aunt's face were illuminated by the fire, leaving distorted shadows.

His eyes were cloudy, and there were dots of firelight imprinted on them, as if there were many holes poked in the eyeballs.

There was no breath, no pulse, only the heart was still beating.

The house is just like the girl's house, it turns into a stone house as soon as you enter.

After that, Yan Yan checked all the rooms in the wooden house.

I only met the aunt and the girl.

When Yan Yan came to Qingyu's guest room, Qingyu had already woken up.

After she entered the room and took a look at Qingyu, she walked straight to the window.

"Is this evening?" Yan Yan asked.

Bai Zhu nodded: "You have been wandering around this room all day."

Yan Yan remained silent.

She just walked around the wooden house, and it didn't even take a day.

But the sky outside the window has indeed begun to get dark.

Yan Yan frowned and came to Qingyu: "I always feel like I drank fake wine here."

Everything seems like an illusion, but it feels very real.

After a hundred days of straining her muscles and bones, Qingyu broke both legs and will not be able to walk for at least a month.

"He has limited mobility, so he might be in danger here alone." Bai Zhu said calmly, "I'll leave it to you to investigate the affairs in the village by yourself."

Yan Yan: "..." Listen, is this human language?

Qingyu also felt that it was troublesome for the two of them, so she smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay, I just can't leave. Exorcising ghosts and catching evil spirits is not a problem."

Yan Yan raised his chin, "Hey, Qingyu said so."

Bai Zhu raised his eyes and stared at Yan Yan: "Are you really relieved that he is here alone?"

Yan Yan: "..." She is worried!

She and Bai Zhu are both black and white, and no one except Tiandao can do anything to them.

Qingyu is different. As a living person, if you accidentally become cold before you become an immortal, you will suffer a big loss.

"Then you go and check. I'm guarding Qingyu here." Yan Yan was unconvinced.

Bai Zhu nodded, "Okay."

Yan Yan was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect him to agree so readily.

I thought he was just trying to be lazy again.

This made Yan Yan feel a little uncertain.

It was getting dark, the lanterns outside were hung up, and there were more and more people.

When Yan Yan was lying by the window, there were villagers outside who greeted her.

Seeing these living people reminded her of the aunt she saw in the stone house.

It looks human but not human.

Bai Zhu didn't say anything after listening to Yan Yan's talk about what happened in the stone house. When the aunt said that she had prepared a meal, she got up and left the wooden house.

"Hey, what's wrong with this little guy's leg?" The aunt came with the food.

It's Yan Yan's favorite spicy food.

As soon as the meal entered the room, the only smell of chili was left in the room.

Qingyu wanted to reply, but she choked on her food and kept coughing.

"I fell off the bed." Yan Yan helped put the food away.

"This won't work. I'll invite the doctor from the village to show me to you later." The worry on the aunt's face didn't seem fake.

Qingyu subconsciously didn't want to trouble her aunt, but she was choked to the point of difficulty breathing, so Yan Yan took the lead and agreed.

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

"It's okay, it's okay. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good after it gets cold." The aunt smiled and waved her hands, with a naive look on her face.

Yan Yan would never associate the aunt in front of him with the aunt in the stone house.

"Are you the only one who lives in such a big house?" Yan Yan asked.

Seeing that the aunt was about to leave, he quickly stopped her.

"No, I have a granddaughter. She got sick a few days ago and has been lying in bed." The aunt said.

"What's wrong with you? Can the doctor in the village look down on it?" Yan Yan took a rabbit leg and gnawed on it, "To be honest, my best friend is a charlatan, why don't you show it to your granddaughter?"

"It's okay." The aunt waved her hands, and the expression on her face changed for a moment, "Speaking of which, it's time for my granddaughter to wake up."

The last sentence was spoken very softly, as if he just opened his mouth.

However, Yan Yan and Qing Yu still heard it.

"Okay, when my sister wakes up, we can go out and play together."

The aunt responded with a smile.

After the aunt left, Yan Yan and Qing Yu ate their food in silence. The only sound left in the room was Qing Yu's coughing from time to time.

"This is too spicy." Qingyu frowned and said.

He drank all the pot of water on the table.

"Indeed." Yan Yan picked up a chopstick of rice.

The food was so spicy that even she couldn't stand it, so she could only use rice to suppress the spiciness.

"I'll go fill up the pot of water."

Yan Ji carried the teapot and went to the kitchen, where the aunt was eating.

The meal was the same as theirs, except that the aunt didn’t eat rice or drink water, she just ate vegetables.

The two spiciest dishes had already been eaten by the aunt.

"Auntie, don't you think it's spicy?" Yan Yan wrinkled his face, the same expression as Qingyu's before when he was spicy.

She found that the aunt also kept a jar of chili sauce on hand for dipping spicy vegetables.

Now Yan Yan finally understood Qing Yu's shocked expression when she was eating before.

"It's not spicy." The aunt looked at the food on the table, "Maybe the food here is spicy. If you think it's spicy, I'll put less chili pepper next time."

"Okay, thank you very much, ma'am."
