Chapter 686: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 58

After Ning Caichen calmed down, he realized that he must have recognized the wrong person. Eighteen years ago, he had personally witnessed the burial and reincarnation of his beloved Xiaoqian.

But when he opened the door and saw the face that had haunted him for eighteen years, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel a throbbing sensation. A guess suddenly arose in his mind, "Could the woman in front of me be Xiaoqian's reincarnation?"

"you......"

"you......"

After Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng looked at each other, they couldn't help but want to say something, but they didn't expect that they both spoke at the same time.

"You two...?" Seeing the atmosphere between her sister and the strange man in front of her, Fu Yuechi, who was standing by, realized that something was wrong even if she was slow-witted. She wanted to ask her sister, but when she turned around and saw Fu Qingfeng's shy look, she felt that Fu Qingfeng was not living up to her expectations, and then looked at Ning Caichen angrily.

He asked, "Hey, who are you and why are you here?"

Ning Caichen bowed and replied, "I am Ning Caichen, a scholar. I am on my way back to my hometown in Jiangnan from the capital. It is getting dark, so I passed by this villa and asked to stay for a night."

"Want to stay overnight?" Fu Yuechi was a little skeptical. After looking at Ning Caichen for several times and seeing that he really looked like a weak scholar, he reluctantly believed him.

"I'm telling you, we were the first to come to this villa, so you'd better leave early tomorrow morning!" Saving his father was a matter of vital importance and there could be no negligence, so Fu Yuechi decisively asked them to leave.

Ning Caichen knew that this was an abandoned villa and did not belong to Fu Yuechi, but for Fu Qingfeng's sake he did not want to argue with them and just agreed.

Although Fu Qingfeng was a little reluctant, he also knew that now was not the time for him to be distracted. There was nothing wrong with Fu Yuechi's decision. Fu Qingfeng did not speak, and the three of them fell silent.

Suddenly, a scream was heard in the subtle atmosphere. Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi became alert instantly. Ning Caichen had experienced the incidents with the tree demon and the female ghost, and was quite experienced with such incidents. The moment he heard the scream, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Ah——" Another scream was heard, and Fu Qingfeng immediately recognized that it was the cry of a loyal man they brought with them, "It's Uncle Zhang, Yuechi, let's go down and take a look!"

"Young ladies..." Ning Caichen wanted to remind them that there might be ghosts in the villa, so it would be safer to hide first. But because the voice was too quiet, and Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were in a hurry to check the situation, they did not hear him. Seeing that the two had gone far away, Ning Caichen hesitated for a while, and finally did not hide by himself, but chased after them.

"Hey! After all, I have some experience, so I might as well go and take a look!"

"Sister, I'm a little scared." In the darkness, Fu Yuechi leaned tightly against his sister Fu Qingfeng. In order to pretend to be a ghost and scare away other passers-by, no lights were lit in the entire villa.

Under the pale moonlight, the already abandoned villa looked even more dilapidated. The swaying shadows of the trees were reflected into the villa under the swaying of the cold wind, making the already eerie villa even more terrifying. Ning Caichen stepped carefully on the tattered wooden ladder, trying not to make any sound.

Sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi headed towards the place where the loyal and righteous people were hiding, while calling everyone's names in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, Little Li, Brother Zhuang..."

However, no matter how the two shouted, there was no response. After they stopped shouting, the whole villa suddenly became completely quiet. In the darkness, there was no other sound except their own breathing.

“Clang clang—”

Suddenly, something rolled down from the stairs, making a rolling sound in the silence. Fu Yuechi turned her head and saw a giant rotten corpse at a glance. She was so scared that her eyes widened and she was about to scream. Fortunately, the moment she opened her mouth, a hand appeared behind her in time and covered her mouth.

“Mmmm——” Who is it?

"Shh-"

"It's me. The monster has very good hearing. We can't make any sound." The person who covered Fu Yuechi was Ning Caichen who had caught up with him. Ning Caichen, who was about to come over after going downstairs, happened to see the giant corpse at the corner and recognized its identity at a glance. After careful observation, Ning Caichen discovered that the giant corpse's eyesight was not very good.

Just as he was trying to find a way to remind Fu Qingfeng and the others, he accidentally kicked a stone on the stairs, which attracted the attention of the giant corpse and also made Fu Yuechi discover the existence of the giant corpse.

Then Ning Caichen took Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi and carefully hid in the room, and the three of them gathered together to think of a solution.

"How did Mr. Ning know that it was a monster?" Fu Yuechi was very curious about this.

"Because I have seen it with my own eyes before." Ning Caichen's tone was full of longing when he mentioned the past. He thought of Nie Xiaoqian again, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Fu Qingfeng. In a trance, he once again mistook Fu Qingfeng for Nie Xiaoqian, "Xiaoqian..."

Fu Qingfeng also felt that the name Xiaoqian was very familiar, and immediately asked, "Mr. Ning, does this Miss Xiaoqian you are talking about look very similar to me?"

Ning Caichen didn't want to say it at first, but thinking that Fu Qingfeng might be Nie Xiaoqian's reincarnation, and that what he said might awaken her memories of her past life, he told her about Xiaoqian.

After listening to the story of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, Fu Qingfeng couldn't help feeling a little dazed. She seemed to have really experienced the thrilling love described by Ning Caichen. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the scene in her mind was a memory or an illusion.

"So, Mr. Ning, do you think my sister is the reincarnation of the girl Xiaoqian you mentioned?" As a bystander, Fu Yuechi quickly guessed Ning Caichen's thoughts.

Ning Caichen did not answer this, but remained silent. He then returned to the topic and talked about the monster in the villa, "I don't know what kind of monster it is. I only know that we should be fine when the day breaks."

"Why don't we just hide here and wait until dawn to find a Taoist priest to capture the monster!" Ning Caichen knew that the three of them could not deal with the ancient corpse, so he suggested that they hide here and wait until dawn.

"No!" But this proposal was rejected by Fu Qingfeng, "We can wait until dawn, but Uncle Zhang and the others can't wait."

"Is there anyone else here?" Ning Caichen guessed that there should be someone else here when the scream was heard earlier. Now he just wanted to confirm it again.

At this point, Fu Qingfeng did not hide anything and told Ning Caichen his story. After learning that there were many loyal and righteous people in the villa, Ning Caichen felt a hint of gratitude in his heart. He was able to get out because of the help of those loyal and righteous people. Now just letting them be captured by monsters, Ning Caichen felt that it was not right.

"Why don't we lure the monster out?" Ning Caichen had an idea and planned to use sound to lure the monster out. Then the rest of the people would gather everyone in the villa together, hide and wait until dawn.
