Xie Qiao had a vague feeling that the sound was not quite right. It was a little dull, almost far away, and it was somewhat unreal.
It kept ringing, it was annoying.
She went out to take a look.
There were many houses in this alley. Every house had their front doors open, and she could see the scene in the courtyard at a glance.
Only the door next door was tightly shut. There was no sound, and it looked lifeless.
“Why is no one living next door?” Xie Qiao asked casually.
“How did you know that no one is living next door? When we first came here, we thought someone was living next door. We even knocked on the door to pay our respects. Who knew that after knocking for a long time, we didn’t see the neighbor open the door. Someone even told us that the door next door was empty,” Lin Yaxiang said without thinking too much, she said with a smile.
Xie Qiao suddenly felt a little guilty.
The house next door was most likely a haunted house.
The steward who found the house was not very reliable. He actually did not mention such an important matter.
Her new steward was quite honest. If he knew the situation next door, he definitely would not have brought the Lin family to live here.
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and took out a few talismans that she carried with her.
She called Xie Pinghuai over secretly.
“Each of you children will have one of these talismans. Carry it with you. Don’t lose it,” Xie Qiao reminded.
Xie Pinghuai took it and looked at it. These talismans were folded, they looked old and ugly. What use could these things be?
However, seeing that Eldest Sister did not have many days left to live, Xie Pinghuai nodded obediently, “Those little ones are scared of me. They’ll do whatever I tell them to do. Don’t worry, even if I tell them to eat this, they wouldn’t dare to spit it out!”
With a thump, Xie Qiao smacked his forehead.
“You’re not allowed to bully,” Xie Qiao glared at him.
Xie Pinghuai still did not refute her. Instead, he said, “Eldest Sister, is your hand made out of a steamed bun? It’s soft and has no strength at all. I’ve trained the iron head technique with my head. If you don’t use some strength, I won’t feel any pain!”
Xie Qiao calmed herself down.
This punk.
“Keep it well. If anything happens at home, send someone to look for me,” Xie Qiao said again.
It was a little late now, so it was not good for her to go over and take a look. Tomorrow, Mo Chusheng would come over instead.
The Lin family had stayed here for a few days without any problems, so it was likely that this house would not have much of an impact for the time being.
However, in order to avoid any accidents, it was better to resolve it as soon as possible.
Xie Qiao returned early.
Xie Pinghuai was obedient and let the four people, including Xie Xi, stand in a row.
“Take this. The next time Eldest Sister comes over, if you still have it, I’ll bring you guys to see the crickets!” After Xie Pinghuai said that, he looked at Xie Xi specially, “If you still have it, I’ll give you a cash.”
He was very generous in the past.
Now, he could only afford this little money.
The four little ones nodded in agreement. Each of them held a yellow talisman in their hands and put it on their chests.
Xie Pinghuai was quite proud.
Although Aunt Lin was very fierce, his cousins were not bad. They were just too easy to bully and did not know much. He had to teach them a lot of things!
After Xie Pinghuai handed out the talismans, he brought them to run around the alley. One moment, he taught them boxing, and the next, he taught them somersaults.
Xie Pinghuai was powerful. He had only been here for a few days, but he had already recruited a few underlings.
A few of the older children looked unhappy, “You’re so powerful. If you’re capable, stay at Silly Mo’s house for one night! If you dare to do that, we’ll call you boss tomorrow!”
