Chapter Eleven: Escaping on the Double Ninth Festival

  After a while, she heard the sound of slow and heavy footsteps, but unlike usual, it was an unfamiliar footstep, and there was only one person's footsteps.

  The girl had a hunch that this person was very dangerous. The footsteps stopped at the door and then left, the girl furrowed her brow, and quickly ran out to see who it was, but there was no one there. She clearly heard the footsteps stop at the door, even if they left, it's impossible for them to disappear so quickly! It was as if they vanished into thin air in an instant. Her hearing wouldn't be mistaken, that person must be extremely powerful and formidable. Thinking this, the girl suppressed her unease and walked back into the room with a puzzled expression.

  In a closed room, she didn't know how long it had been, and could only silently wait. She always yearned for the day when she could escape from here with her friends!

  Ge Yufeng saw her distracted appearance and felt suffocated. However, he caught a glimpse of sadness flashing in her eyes and didn't make a sound to interrupt her.

  However, the door next to them suddenly made a loud "bang" sound, Ge Yufeng thought that the woman should have woken up. Qī Xuě was also startled back to her senses by the thunderous sound, and after some deliberation, she still wanted to get out of bed to take a look at her.

  Ge Yu Feng watched her get out of bed without stopping her, hesitated for a moment and followed her to prevent anything else from happening. Qi Xue gave him a silent glance, Ge Yu Feng took out the key and opened it, then a palm wind came over, but Qi Xue still didn't dodge and stood stupidly at the door. Ge Yu Feng quickly pulled her arm into his arms, with intense anger rising in his eyes.

  Qī Xuě pulled her hand out of his, leaving his embrace, and looked at the person standing one foot away from her in the living room. She was like a defensive little dog that had encountered danger, with all her hair standing on end. Qī Xuě said softly: "Do you still remember me? I am Qī Xuě."

  The woman's eyes were like a small beast, and she couldn't understand her meaning. Qī Xuě's heart moved slightly, and he slowly approached one side to comfort her, saying: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Gě Yù Fēng's face turned even darker; he had never heard such a gentle voice from her before, let alone Mù Shū Guì!

  When the woman's eyes seemed to relax, Qi Xue thought of continuing to get closer, but she suddenly went mad, her eyes turned crimson like a witch, and she shouted loudly at Qi Xue, breaking the window and jumping out to escape. The speed was so fast that only a blurry shadow could be seen in the air.

  Ge Yu's mouth and eyes twitched violently, thinking to himself that this was the sixth floor after all. Sighing at the sight of his house and living room being turned upside down, he rubbed his temples in distress, it seemed like he needed a good rest now.

  Pedestrians on the road heard a loud noise, and glass fell from the sky, they all ran away shouting. Then they saw a figure falling down quickly, pedestrians were frightened and screamed. Before they came to their senses, the person had disappeared, which made them even more surprised. They shouted and asked what was going on, if it was an alien? How could he disappear in mid-air! Suddenly this thing became the focus, spreading rapidly online.

  Ge Yufeng looked at the computer and let out a sigh of relief, fortunately no photos were taken. You know how scary netizens' inquiring minds can be. It's not a holiday now, so Qixue can't go home, but she has asked for leave from her teacher. Li Yanghua knew that she was injured and immediately shouted: "What happened! Was there a car accident?......"

  Even through the phone from far away, her deafening voice could be heard, but someone was worried about her and cared for her, so Qī Xuě's tone also softened.

  Qī Xuě felt that it was no big deal, but Gě Yù Fēng insisted on letting her rest well, so during this period she had to stay at his house!

  Ge Yu Feng's home presented a scene like this: one room was like a garbage dump, the bed was torn to shreds and flying everywhere, the smooth wooden door had scratches that looked like claw marks, the white paint had all turned into yellow wood chips. The tables, lamps, even the laptop were all destroyed beyond recognition, it was a complete mess. Outside in the living room, the cold wind howled, looking at the large hole in the glass window, Ge Yu Feng let out a sigh. Should he be grateful that the woman's room didn't have any windows?

  Qī Xuě scanned the house with a glance and said apologetically, "What to do, it can't go on like this forever."

  "Call someone to come and decorate."

  "Your room..."

  "Clear out the room and throw everything away, sell some scrap metal and put other things in there instead. Anyway, we still have another room."

  In silence, the painter looked like he had been clawed by a wild beast, his mind racing as he glanced up at the wall, his eyes turning black - could this place be haunted?!

  The master of welding glass was blown away in the wind, this is where someone fell down but mysteriously disappeared, could it be a movie shoot? Or a haunted place? The quiet place suddenly became loud with "Boom", "Ding Dong" sounds, Seven Snow who was staying in her room couldn't help but come out to see, standing at the messy door, the young man carrying broken furniture trying to move out, turned his head and saw a white-haired pale-faced woman, immediately shouting: "Ghost!"

  Then he wailed and didn't move anything, wanting to escape from this haunted house. The welding master heard the frightened voice and turned his head, just in time to see the white-haired female ghost standing behind the young man with a fierce smile, her hands shaking, she swallowed hard and calmly walked past them.

  Then with a "whoosh" sound the door was opened quickly, and with a "bang" it was closed again as they escaped, not even taking the money. The young fellow also took advantage of the opportunity to run away.

  Ge Yufeng took in the scene before him, looking at her standing there innocently, her eyes full of confusion, completely unclear about what was happening, and couldn't help but laugh wryly as he walked up to her and asked anxiously: "What's going on? You scared everyone away, the glass is fixed, but the room still hasn't been cleaned up, it's even more messy than before! I'm afraid that later there will be a rumor circulating, saying that a certain building on a certain floor in a certain house is haunted?"

  Qī xuě jiāng yìng zhe méi huí guò shén, tā shén me dōu méi zuò ya, qí shí tā zhǐ shì zhàn zài nà er ér yǐ. zhī hòu dōu shì nà liǎng gè rén nǎo bǔ jiā xiǎng xiàng le! tā bù zhī suǒ cuò de kàn zhe tā, dī zhe tóu yī fù rèn cuò de yàng zi, yǒu xiē yū mèn de duì zhe zuǐ, guǒ rán, tā bù néng chū xiàn zài rén miàn qián.

  Ge Yu Feng looked at her expressionless face and could see the pitiful look, so he didn't dare to tease her anymore. He just shook his head and walked into the room to move the furniture by himself. Qi Xue also hurried over to move the bedside cabinet. Ge Yu Feng wanted to stop her, but seeing that she was still recovering from her injury, how could she do such heavy work? Looking at her stubborn eyes, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

  After they finished their busy day and had dinner, the two of them rested separately.

  At this time, Xu Fan got off the plane and arrived in Qinan. It was already past 12 o'clock. Xu Fan walked towards Jiuyetou's house as Gu Yuefeng said, strolling slowly while looking at the surrounding scenery. Although it was February, the weather was quite cold everywhere, even in the south. However, the temperature in Qinan didn't feel cold at all, possibly only a little lower than during the day. There wasn't any strong wind blowing, but rather a gentle breeze that felt refreshing and comfortable. The air was completely free from the haze of cities.

  If we divide cities by environment, this place is definitely a first-tier city.

  Kui Feng said something he didn't quite understand, why did he have to be inconspicuous at night? He was just a casual tourist, no one would notice him. However, looking around at the Lianquan trees that were always in bloom, with their pale blue petals dancing, this place was very famous, and he also knew some things about it. Kui Feng told him that to investigate the secret of Qinan, that old woman was crucial. Alas, how did he feel like this world had become so mysterious?

  Walking along the main road, the white streetlights illuminated everything. They had been walking for over an hour and still hadn't seen the end of it. Even with Xu Fan's excellent physical condition, he would feel tired. Not to mention that today he also went to carry that unconscious girl to Ge Yu Feng's house and then rushed to the airport. He hadn't even eaten yet before boarding the plane! And how could he be full from just eating those few things on the plane?!

  When he wanted to let out a loud whoop, he suddenly widened his eyes and only then did he realize that although it was already past 12 o'clock, it was impossible for there to be no cars at all. Xu Fan also became vigilant and muttered to himself, "This place is too abnormal, too quiet, there's no sound except the wind blowing through the grass, not even bird calls."

  Xu Fan seemed to be unaware of anything and continued walking forward, thinking about Ge Yu Feng's reminder, he seemed to understand something, still being cautious, with his keen senses, no one was following or monitoring him. Gradually, he saw a red-roofed house in the distance, his footsteps didn't stop, that small red house fully expanded and appeared in his field of vision, he maintained a steady pace until he reached the door of the hut. Xu Fan glanced at both sides with his peripheral vision, they were all planted with food and some fruits.

  "Knock knock"

  After a while, a hoarse voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

  Xu Fan said awkwardly: "I came here to play, but I couldn't find a place to stay, so can I borrow your place for one night?" It's now the holiday season, and hotels are fully booked which is normal.

  Listening to the slow footsteps, one step at a time, it was a very difficult feeling, and he should be very old. Xufan stood patiently, and after a while, the door creaked open with a "creak" due to its age. An elderly woman with white hair and wrinkles all over her face, hunched back, looked at him and said slowly: "Come in."

  Xu Fan followed Guan up the stairs, calmly sizing up the room. It was very small, no more than 40 square meters. He couldn't understand why such an old house still existed in this location. The furniture was all made of wood and was on the verge of falling apart. The dim lighting gave off a gloomy atmosphere.

  The old woman carried a cup of water to his side, sat down in the chair, and put the water on the small table. "Sit down and have a drink of water. It's very rude here, I'm afraid, and there's nothing good to entertain you."

  Xu Fan hastily said: "Nothing, it's just that I disturbed you." Sitting on the old sofa and asking suspiciously: "Are you alone at home? Where are your children?"

  The old woman sighed and said: "I have no children, I've always lived alone." The old woman seemed to be reminiscing about the past, her eyes full of nostalgia.
