Chapter 538 Shrimp and Duck
Chapter 538 Shrimp and Duck
He frowned and said, "So apart from the dead person, no one else has seen it. This means there is no evidence."
Although his voice was not loud, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in everyone's hearts.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent, wondering whether this was true or not.
One of them frowned and said seriously: "It is better to believe it than not to believe it. There are too many things in this world that we cannot explain."
The other person nodded his head in agreement, his face full of worry, and agreed: "You are right, we should not hang around there anymore. It is a spooky place to begin with. I always get a chill down my spine when I pass by it. Now that so many weird things have been reported, it is better to stay away from it."
"If you really encounter something unclean, then there will be no one to help you."
After a while, the news reached Ni'er's ears as if it had wings.
Nier was grinding medicinal herbs there, pushing the roller back and forth in her hands.
When she heard others describing those strange rumors in vivid detail, she stopped what she was doing and frowned slightly.
I muttered to myself: Why are there so many strange things happening lately?
While he continued working, he kept thinking about these rumors in his mind.
If you say that he committed murder for money, at least others saw the cloth bag containing money. This matter... is quite interesting.
Nier said to herself, "Could it really be haunted?"
But it's not impossible to accept. After all, in the eyes of others, I am a person that even the King of Hell will not accept.
But most people have never seen a ghost, and as a doctor, I carefully take the pulse of every patient.
It was clear that these people were indeed infected with the disease, and not a single patient died of fright.
If this haunted story is really a rumor, then what is the purpose of the person spreading the rumor?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the matter was not simple, so I decided to investigate it.
Although I have an idea in my mind about this matter, after thinking it over, I feel that it would be better to tell my master.
One more head means one more perspective, which can do you no harm.
Even though that place was very close to Nier, she never dared to go and explore it.
I was busy the whole morning, thinking about this matter all the time, and finally waited for my master.
Zhao Jincheng had one hand behind his back and the other hand in front of him, looking quite elegant.
Seeing the little apprentice, he couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth and said to Ni'er: "Stop working, take a break, come on, let's go eat."
When Nier heard the voice, she felt relieved.
"Master, you are finally here!" A happy smile appeared on Ni'er's face.
Zhao Jincheng looked at Ni'er, a trace of kindness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Why, are you impatient?"
Ni'er nodded, then suddenly lowered her voice and said to Zhao Jincheng mysteriously: "Master, have you heard about the ghost story over there?" As she spoke, she glanced towards the haunted place.
Zhao Jincheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he nodded and said with a smile: "Oh, you mean that? I have heard of it."
He thought that it was probably just a story that everyone made up when they were bored, and his little apprentice would not be interested in such things. Unexpectedly, Ni'er's reaction surprised him.
Nier tilted her head slightly and blinked her big, lively eyes, as if trying to read some clues from his calm expression.
However, the master's face did not show much emotion, and he did not seem particularly interested in this matter.
"Master, do you think this is credible?" Ni'er asked with blinking eyes.
When Zhao Jincheng heard his little disciple's question, his originally calm expression changed slightly.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Then he slowly said, "Do you think there is something wrong here?"
Nier nodded quickly and said firmly, "I always feel that such news would not suddenly appear for no reason. There must be some hidden story."
Zhao Jincheng has never believed in these supernatural things. After all, those who have died actually died of the epidemic.
He just turned his head in that direction, then quickly turned back as if he had thought of something.
"Why don't I go take a look." Zhao Jincheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go and find out for himself.
When Nier heard this, she quickly reached out and grabbed her master's sleeve, and said with a worried look on her face: "Master, let's not go yet. What if there is any danger? Why don't we observe and see the situation first?"
The more Zhao Jincheng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange. Why did the accident happen in that place?
Besides, there are people coming and going nearby. Logically speaking, ghosts and the like should avoid people.
The young apprentice's suspicion is indeed not unreasonable!
"Well, let's observe it for a while longer. I'll listen to you." Zhao Jincheng nodded, indicating that he agreed with his young disciple's opinion.
"In fact, I didn't think there was anything special at first, but after listening to your analysis, it seems that there is something wrong. My little apprentice is really thoughtful!"
Zhao Jincheng looked at his young disciple with admiration in his eyes.
Nier's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were sparkling, her hands were behind her back, her fingers were unconsciously hooked together, her body was slightly twisted, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"Hmph, don't think that I will be happy if you praise me!"
Although Ni'er said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Zhao Jincheng was moved when he saw this, and couldn't help wanting to tease her, so he said with a smile: "My little apprentice is very smart, optimistic, decisive, and kind-hearted..."
Before Zhao Jincheng could finish his words, Ni'er's face suddenly turned red, like a cooked shrimp.
She stamped her feet on the ground, pouted her lips, and said angrily, "Master, please stop talking."
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say any more. I won't say any more."
Zhao Jincheng quickly raised his hand and pinched his mouth tightly with two fingers, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally say something that would embarrass Ni'er.
He looked like a duck with its mouth pinched, which made people laugh.
Seeing this, Ni'er, who was standing by, laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
She raised her arms and swung them around her shoulders like a windmill.
He said happily: "Haha, I feel much more relaxed recently. My shoulders don't hurt much anymore. Master, do you feel the same way?"
