Chapter Ten: Woman or Female Ghost

  Pulling Yang Xiufeng to walk carefully over, passing through the dense forest and seeing in the distance was actually a mansion. It's called a mansion rather than a house because this courtyard has two entrances, all with red bricks and green tiles, giving off an ancient architectural feel. This isn't even the most surprising part - what's key is that it's brightly lit, visible from far away. But that's not all, there are people coming and going, bustling about.

  "This must be Godmother's home——" Yang Xiufeng was overjoyed and immediately took off running.

  However, I didn't get excited. I pulled Yang Xiufeng back and shook my head slowly: "Don't go over there, this is absolutely not the home of the immortal aunt. We encountered a ghost wall just now and haven't moved from that place. I even saw the lighter I lost. If such a place really existed, how could we have failed to notice it at first?"

  Yang Xiufeng was stunned, as if it were indeed the case. For a moment, she was dazed and didn't know what to do. She looked at the mansion but couldn't get excited at all. Although the lights were still on and people were coming and going, there was only a chill in their hearts that kept emerging. The mountain wind blew and they couldn't help but shiver. How could such a large mansion be built in the wilderness? And how could there be so many people? More importantly, if it really existed just a few dozen miles away, how could the villagers not have heard of it?

  "What... what's going on now?" Yang Xiufeng was somewhat at a loss, yesterday's fake resurrection, today's ghostly wall, and the strange mansion in front of her had completely thrown her into confusion.

  Yes, what to do now? For a moment, I also had no idea, after all, I haven't escaped from the ghostly wall just now. I stared blankly at that strange old mansion, with two bronze-edged and bronze-studded doors over three meters high. On the horizontal beam of the gate, there were lanterns hanging on both ends, but they were electric lights inside. The host's daughter was standing at the door, smiling and chatting with the guests coming and going, but we couldn't hear what she was saying.

  "Let's take a closer look." After hesitating for a while, frowning and finally making up his mind, he couldn't just stand there all night, although the brightly lit mansion gave him a somewhat eerie feeling. But since he wasn't doing anything wrong, he wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

  Pulling Yang Xiufeng's hand, the two of them leaned against each other and felt a little more at ease. If it were me myself, I wouldn't have gone over no matter what. My footsteps were very light, afraid that any sound would be heard, and hid behind the tree. It always felt like we were doing something sneaky. The rustling of leaves made my heart jump wildly, as if there was something following our footsteps behind us.

  All my attention was focused on that house, and I didn't know how long I had been walking or how far I had come. But it felt like a considerable amount of time had passed. I suddenly stopped in my tracks, my face twitching, and turned around to look back. Then I turned back again, my expression even darker. I swallowed hard, my throat feeling a bit hoarse: "Forget it, let's just spend the night here and talk about everything tomorrow morning."

  Yang Xiufeng was taken aback, looked at the distant house, and also had a puzzled expression on her face. After hesitating for a while, she finally said in a low voice: "Little Haige, what's wrong?"

  I didn't want to say it, but now I have no choice. Looking at Yang Xiufeng, she just gritted her teeth: "We've been walking for half a day, do you think that mansion is still far away? The woman who could see the entrance earlier is still the same as before, without any change. Continuing to walk has no meaning."

  Yang Xiufeng also had feelings, but she didn't dare to say anything. When she was scared, girls always relied on men. At this moment, she nodded silently, took a deep breath, and sat down on the ground with a thud, leaning against the withered tree and panting heavily. Physically and mentally exhausted, she thought of her father lying in bed at home, and tears began to flow from Yang Xiufeng's eyes. Why did she just want to do something for her father, hoping to help him, but had to go through so much hardship? She couldn't help but sob lightly as she thought about it.

  I also sat down, in this quiet forest, when the leaves rustled, to listen again to Yang Xiufeng's sobbing voice. My heart really felt some unease. Leaning against Yang Xiufeng and sitting together, I didn't know what to say. At that time, it was really hard to bring up warmth, so I could only hold Yang Xiufeng's hand, hoping to give her some comfort.

  She sobbed a few times, feeling the warmth of my hand, Yang Xiufeng leaned her head on my shoulder, and felt much more at ease in her heart. She didn't want to speak, but just quietly snuggled up, feeling the warmth brought by each other's body. Before I knew it, Yang Xiufeng was no longer sobbing, and had even started making soft snoring sounds.

  Look at the girl leaning on my shoulder, she shook her head gently and a bitter smile appeared on her face. These two days have really made her mentally exhausted, but she insisted on running to the mountains for her dad. This girl is really not bad, of course I have to say that Yang Xiufeng is also young and beautiful, especially with big breasts, which is what attracts me. In fact, I've always been unwilling to admit one thing, that is, I've never had a romantic relationship before. As long as it's a girl who looks okay, I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse, let alone my impression of Yang Xiufeng has always been good.

  Gazing at the stars, listening to the soft snoring beside me, enduring the numbness in my shoulders, I slowly drifted off to sleep amidst my chaotic thoughts. The past two days had actually exhausted my mental strength; if not for putting on a strong front in front of the girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on either.

  I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by a sudden urge to urinate. When I opened my eyes, the sky was still very dark, and Yang Xiufeng had fallen asleep in my arms, still sleeping soundly. After taking a deep breath, I gently lifted Yang Xiufeng and leaned her against the tree, then rubbed my numb legs and slowly got up, just about to walk to the side. But unexpectedly, despite my gentle movements, I still startled Yang Xiufeng awake. At that moment, Yang Xiufeng felt very scared, grabbed my clothes, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of tears: "Little Hai brother, where are you going? Don't leave me alone..."

  She stared blankly for a moment, looking at Yang Xiufeng's anxious face, her heart softened, but her face turned slightly red, she scratched her head and chuckled: "Xiaofeng, I'm not going anywhere, just... just want to go to the bathroom..."

  I certainly couldn't pee in front of Yang Xiufeng, or I'd be taken for a hooligan. As soon as these words fell, Yang Xiufeng was also stunned, and then her face flew with a blush, and she wasn't afraid in her heart, but she was very shy. She hesitated for a moment, and only lightly bit her lip and whispered: "Little Hai brother, don't run far away, I'm scared..."

  This made me a bit embarrassed, I dryly laughed and casually responded, then turned around to walk towards the dense part of the woods. After just a few steps, I heard Yang Xiufeng's voice: "Little Hai Ge, are you there? It's too far for me to see you, I...I won't peek..."

  I swallowed my saliva, I really had nothing to say, as a big man, I was not afraid of being peeped at, but when I turned around, I could see Yang Xiufeng, which was really embarrassing. However, when I saw Yang Xiufeng's pitiful face, I couldn't bear it anymore. I coughed and tried my best to hide behind a tree, but I really doubted whether this tree could block me. Fortunately, it was nighttime, and everything was shrouded in darkness.

  I didn't dare to look back, and Yang Xiufeng didn't dare to open her eyes. Although the two of us had already been intimate, it wasn't yet to the point where we could be so casual. Not to mention that she was a girl, even I, as a man, felt embarrassed. To be honest, I didn't dare let myself go and could only try to control the sound of the water to make it quieter, but the sound was still too loud.

  Finally solved, just like completing a very difficult task, the moment I pulled up my pants, I coughed again. However, just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly heard Yang Xiufeng's scream. My heart skipped a beat, and my feet rushed back with force. Then, I saw Yang Xiufeng curled up into a ball, one hand stretched forward, her face filled with fear. Following the direction she pointed, the large mansion we had not walked past before was now clearly in front of us, no more than twenty steps away.

  His body stiffened, his face twitched, and he unconsciously quickened his pace to stand in front of Yang Xiufeng, shielding her with his back. His fists were clenched tightly, ready to fight if necessary. He would never wait for death to come to him. His whole body was tense as he stared at the woman standing by the door, smiling at them. The woman looked like she was in her twenties, quite pretty, wearing a cheongsam dress that made her look somewhat seductive. Her face seemed to have been made up, or perhaps it was something else, but whatever it was, it gave off an otherworldly aura. Maybe it was because he knew this woman couldn't possibly be human.

  "You're not afraid of catching a cold sleeping here, my family has some spare rooms, I can let you have one, otherwise come in and rest for a bit." The woman smiled brightly, looking very enthusiastic.

  It's just that I'm absolutely not going to fall for this, the strange things that have been happening in these desolate mountains and wild valleys, a seductive woman appearing at midnight... If I still believed what women said, I'd probably be dead by now. Taking a deep breath, I was about to speak when Yang Xiufeng suddenly shouted from behind me: "We're not going in - Little Hai Ge!"

  Let's just say it, but I didn't expect Yang Xiufeng to do something that was beyond my expectation. She actually reached out and forcefully pulled down my horse pants. Heaven knows why horse pants don't have a belt, only elastic bands, which couldn't withstand Yang Xiufeng's forceful pulling. As a result, the horse pants along with my underwear were unfortunately pulled down. At that time, my mind was completely focused on the woman, and for a moment, I didn't react at all, still foolishly facing her.

  It can't be said, I was stunned for a while before feeling the coolness below, and when I looked down, my heart skipped a beat. My old face suddenly turned bright red, and even with thick skin, I was embarrassed to the point of burning up. This time, I lost face so badly that it was almost instinctive for me to turn around, hoping to escape this awkwardness by facing away from the woman. However, I forgot that there was actually another girl behind me...
