Chapter 36 Haunted House
Chapter 36 Haunted House
After hearing this, Orange did not feel sad for her classmates. Instead, she felt relieved.
She is not a saint. She feels sorry for others when they want to harm her. She was afraid that Ji Fuyao would fail this time and would think of another way to harm her. Now she is relieved.
Juzi didn't want to make her grandma worry. Since the crisis was over, she didn't tell her grandma that she was kidnapped. But she never left the grove again.
The school was in an uproar because of the murder, but Orange was quietly attending military training classes and rehearsing programs at school. However, she had nightmares several times and felt weak all over for several days. Her fear of the dark had been cured, but now she was afraid of it again.
Seeing that Juzi's face was not looking good, Li Mei took Juzi to the hospital for a checkup. After the examination, the doctor said, "How can you be so worried at such a young age? We live in a society ruled by law now. What are you afraid of?"
Orange remained silent.
The doctor prescribed some sedatives and sleeping pills.
Orange didn't take any medicine, but went to the pharmacy to get some Chinese medicine.
Li Mei asked Ju Zi: "What happened?"
Juzi had no choice but to tell Li Mei what happened that day, and Li Mei was furious.
Ju Zi advised her, "Grandma, it's all in the past. Ji Fuyao has also received retribution."
As they were talking, a neighbor came over and saw the Chinese medicine bag that Orange was carrying. He quickly asked, "What happened?"
Li Mei said without thinking: "The child is a little scared."
When the neighbor heard this, his eyes focused and he said to Orange, "Girl, go ahead. I have something to talk to your grandma about."
Seeing that they were about to enter the community, Orange left first.
The neighbor held Li Mei and said, "Aunt, let me tell you, I'm not being nosy, I just feel it's not good for the neighbors to live here without telling you, your house is a haunted house!"
If it were in the past, Li Mei would have smiled and made excuses to leave, because she didn't believe in ghosts or gods, but now that she's older, she's a little superstitious, especially when it comes to oranges, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
The neighbor was mysterious: "This house was bought by a high-ranking official for his son's wedding. You can see that everything in the house is good. Unfortunately, his son was killed on the wedding day in this house. The man was strangled to death by an electric wire, and the woman was suffocated to death by a pillow.
Their family sold the house to a couple from outside the city who were doing business. But within a week, the couple died of gas poisoning.
The couple's son didn't dare to live there himself, so he brought the old couple in. As a result, the old man died in bed within less than a month. When the old lady found him dead in the morning, she was frightened to death again.
It caused quite a stir at the time. No one wanted the house even if it was given for free. After a year, no one was talking about it anymore. His son thought about renting it out first. As long as someone lived in it and it was intact, he wouldn't have to worry about selling it in the future. But who would have thought that someone like you would buy it? You see, it hasn't been long and the little girl is already scared."
Li Mei felt annoyed after hearing this, because the old man's blood pressure had increased after moving here. He always said that the house was not as spacious as in the countryside, and he didn't have as much freedom. It was also difficult to go up and down the stairs. Although it was only the second floor, his legs and feet were not that flexible after all.
Now Orange has inexplicably run away from the grove to another place. Although it is suspected that Ji Fuyao did it, there is no evidence.
Li Mei was also scared. They had only lived there for less than three months, and two of the three people in her family had problems. One had high blood pressure and was feeling uncomfortable, and the other was just frightened. Was there really something wrong with this house?
