Chapter 7: At night, the yard is full of ghosts
When they saw her take out the money, both Grandma Xu and Aunt Zhang's faces changed.
Grandma Xu frowned and said, "Yang Fan, what are you doing? We give you something and you want to pay us. Who do you think we are?"
Aunt Zhang: "We're not selling anything to you."
Yang Fan explained: "No... Grandma Xu..."
"It's nothing. We are just giving it to you as a gift. We don't want any money from you," Grandma Xu put the things on the table and walked out with Aunt Zhang.
"Yang Fan, don't cook at home these days. Come to my house for dinner."
The old man's legs and feet were still very nimble, and he had walked into the yard in the time it took him to finish his sentence.
Yang Fan: “…Okay.”
She had no way of refusing this last sentence, since she really couldn't cook.
He put the hundred yuan back into his pocket and looked down at the food in his arms and the daily necessities on the table.
Yang Fan thought that helping them catch the ghost who stole the vegetables at night would be his reward.
In the evening, Uncle Li came to invite her to dinner. Yang Fan didn't hesitate and went over to have another meal.
In the evening, Grandma Xu made stir-fried pork, braised pork with salted vegetables, stir-fried potatoes with peppers, and a plate of roasted eggplant.
It was delicious and went well with rice. Yang Fan ate two large bowls of rice before putting his bowl down.
Grandma Xu was so happy to see her eat so much.
After dinner, she wanted to help clean up and wash the dishes, but after breaking two bowls, she was ruthlessly kicked out of the kitchen by Uncle Li.
When it was time to go home, Grandma Xu insisted on sending her back.
It was getting dark outside. On the way, Grandma Xu reminded her, "Yang Fan, don't go out at night, especially after 10 o'clock. Go to bed early and don't go out."
Yang Fan's eyes moved. It seemed that these elderly people had also noticed something. She pretended to be innocent and asked her, "Why? Grandma Xu."
Grandma Xu: "You are a girl, it is not safe to go out at night. Listen to Grandma Xu and don't go out at night."
Yang Fan nodded, "Okay, I understand, Grandma Xu."
After just a few words, the two of them walked to the door of the house. After watching her walk into the yard, Grandma Xu turned and left.
Standing in the yard and watching the old man return home, Yang Fan turned back to the living room, sat on the sofa and meditated. Slowly, the surrounding spiritual energy gathered around her and entered her body bit by bit.
As time passed, the originally quiet yard suddenly became noisy.
"Have all the loquats on this tree been picked? Why are there only so few left?"
Several dark shadows gathered under the loquat tree, and they talked as they looked at the few loquats on the tree.
"The person in this room is back. She must have picked it."
"You greedy girl, you picked so many."
"Hehe...she must think the food we eat is delicious." The black shadow's voice was very obscene.
"The people here are back. Is the post station going to open today?" A dark shadow discovered the key point.
Yes! Now that the people here are back, the post station must be open, so they can pick up the express!
Seeing that everyone was heading towards the post station, a few dark shadows under the tree also followed.
At the entrance of the post station, countless dark shadows stood at the door and discussed.
"Finally, a new webmaster has arrived. I don't know what this new webmaster is like. Can he do the job? I hope he won't be as useless as the previous one."
"I heard that she is the niece of the previous stationmaster, the little girl named Yang Fan."
When the shadow with the roughest voice heard that the new stationmaster was a little girl, he immediately laughed sarcastically, "Then we have the final say on Huangquan Posthouse."
“Hahaha, the couriers here are definitely for our big brother to pick.” Another black shadow echoed, “Big brother is awesome!”
The dark shadows standing at the back heard the words of the dark shadows in front, looked at each other and the people beside them, and saw despair in the pair of dark eyes beside them.
"It's already so late, why hasn't the door been opened yet? Go and urge her!"
"Okay, big brother."
Several dark shadows floated towards the small building.
Sitting in the living room, the voices of the dark shadows outside reached Yang Fan's ears word for word. She slowly opened her eyes, a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed in her eyes, she took a breath, and exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Button Button"
The knocking on the door continued.
Yang Fan stood up and turned around, then he saw many ghost faces pressed against the window behind the sofa.
Those ghost faces were twisted and distorted. Some had blood oozing out of their clear gray eyeballs, and the blood covered their entire faces and the windows. Some of the ghost faces had their facial features flying around, their mouths on their eyes, and their entire faces were a bloody mess.
Such a visually impactful scene would scare an ordinary person to death if they saw it, but when Yang Fan saw this scene, his calm face instantly fell.
Damn these ghosts! How dare they dirty her window!
The ghosts outside saw her changed face and thought they had scared her, and said triumphantly.
"Hahaha... She was scared by us."
It seemed that Yang Fan was frightened by them, and those distorted faces became even more terrifying.
Yang Fan looked at them coldly as they were seeking death. He raised his hand and drew a soul-calming talisman, and golden runes appeared in the air.
The ghost outside stared blankly at the golden talisman in the air.
"Hey...what is that?" a ghost asked innocently.
"Run! This woman can draw talismans!" A sharp explosion sounded.
The ghosts scattered and tried to run, but it was too late.
Yang Fan raised his hand and waved it. The golden talisman quickly spread and covered the entire house and the yard outside. All the ghosts in the yard were hit by the golden talisman.
In an instant, all the ghosts were frozen in place, unable to move.
"What's going on? Why can't I move?"
"I can't move either."
The ghosts who had been so smug just now now had faces full of fear.
The other ghosts were also confused. Why couldn’t they move?
Everything was fine when I came.
One of the ghosts in the group shouted, "Oh no! This woman can draw talismans!"
The people here can draw talismans. Is she a Taoist priest?
Even you are a Taoist priest, you can't use talismans on ghosts casually. They are just good ghosts who come to pick up the express delivery.
The noise in the yard became louder.
At this time, the door of the small building was opened, and Yang Fan walked out of the house with murderous intent. The yard was dark, and she stood at the door with her back to the light, like a fairy descending from heaven, with a holy light on her body.
The ghosts in the yard suddenly became quiet. The whole yard was silent and the ghosts stared at her blankly.
The ghost who was squeezed at the front of the warehouse and originally said that he was in charge of Huangquan Station, tried his best to ignore his existence the moment he saw Yang Fan. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by the soul-calming talisman and could not move.
The ghost's intuition told him that this woman was not easy to deal with.
Yang Fan stood at the door, looking at the ghosts crowded in the yard, and slowly said, "You broke into my yard without permission and stole the loquats in my yard. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
She casually drew a Five Thunder Talisman, and the golden talisman paper emitted a "thunderbolt" sound.
