Chapter 185: Chapter 185

"No." Wei Shuxian shook his head slightly, "I just took a look at the pier, and there were a few cargo boats behind us earlier, and they also stopped at the pier of Fengwei Town, after which they transferred the goods into trucks and took to road transport."

"Switching from water to road transport, wouldn’t that increase the cost?"

"Yes, indeed it would." Wei Shuxian nodded, "I gathered some information from a travelers’ forum too. A few travelers had the same doubts as we do and they also pointed out that Fengwei Town seems like a paradise during the day, but at night, it gives off an extremely gloomy feeling."

You glanced out at the street where people were coming and going, thinking the setting here was indeed nice. As for the feeling of being gloomy, you hadn’t sensed that yet.

"Did anyone follow up on that?" Xi Yu asked.

"Yes, a netizen who lives in Losha Town replied, saying that Fengwei Town seems to be situated in a terrain known as ’Dragon and Snake Fight for Pearl.’ The waterway from Fengwei Town to Luoxia Mountain is extremely dangerous with many undercurrents. Ever since the establishment of Fengwei Town, that waterway has swallowed many boats and lives. After the founding of the country, the authorities sent experts to investigate, and after some time, they gave a very vague statement. However, before they left, they sealed off that stretch of water, forbidding any boats from passing through."

"Dragon and Snake Fight for Pearl?" You were slightly startled, and then you walked to the end of the corridor and looked up toward the blood-red sunset in the west, your expression suddenly turning cold.

"What’s wrong? Did you find something new?"

Xiao Feng and Wei Shuxian hurriedly followed.

Scratching the back of your head, you said to the two of them, "From a feng shui perspective, this land formation is an extremely ominous place. Normally, no one would choose to live in such a place."

You thought for a moment and asked Wei Shuxian, "How long has Fengwei Town been established?"

"Over a hundred years, it should have been established during the Republic of China period."

"People back in the Republic of China time tended to be more feudalistic, especially regarding home building. Since they chose to settle here, it means they have a way to subdue the terrain of ’Dragon and Snake Fight for Pearl.’"

As you spoke, you closed your eyes. Your vision gradually elevated and soon encompassed the entire Fengwei Town, but after scanning several times, you couldn’t find anything unusual and ultimately had to retract your gaze.

"How did it go?"

Seeing you open your eyes, Wei Shuxian asked.

You shook your head, "I couldn’t discern anything significant. However, since we have been advised not to go out, we should stay put. We’ll just watch TV and play cards in the hotel tonight."

Xiao Feng and Wei Shuxian exchanged a glance: "Alright then."

After dinner on the second floor in the evening, Xiao Feng, Wei Shuxian, Yang Kai, Yin Guihua, and you, the five of you, started playing cards in the room.

Zhao’er had no interest in your card games, sitting obediently at the head of the bed, watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on TV.

Wu Qiyi was sitting in a chair on the side, holding a thick book, quietly reading.

"Hey hey, I am the loyal minister, why are you killing me?" Yin Guihua angrily hit Yang Kai and said resentfully, "I don’t want to play anymore, this is so boring."

"It is quite boring." Yang Kai agreed.

"How about we go out and take a look?" Yin Guihua looked at you with a mischievous smile.

You raised a finger and shook it slightly, "No mischief! We are in a strange place now, unaware of the surroundings, and absolutely shouldn’t wander around carelessly to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Who says we’re not familiar? When I was little, my dad often brought me here to play; I know this place very well!"

Oh, right!

You suddenly remembered that Yin Guihua is a local, and Fengwei Town is the closest town to Yin Guihua’s village, where villagers usually come for their daily shopping. Yin Guihua must be familiar with it.

Thinking of this, you couldn’t help asking Yin Guihua, "Was Fengwei Town always like this in the past?"

"Pretty much, when I was young, I hadn’t seen much of the outside world. I used to think the rest of the world was just like Fengwei Town. It wasn’t until I went out to attend junior high that I realized how big the outside world was and how many things there were."

You continued to ask, "Have you and your dad ever stayed overnight in Fengwei Town?"

Yin Guihua thought for a moment and said, "There seems to have been one time, when it rained so hard that the boat couldn’t leave, so my dad and I stayed one night at my great-uncle’s house."

"Do you still have relatives here?" Wei Shuxian seemed very interested in Fengwei Town and immediately leaned in.

"Yeah, there are, but since my great-uncle passed away, my dad has had little contact with their family."

"Did you go out to play at night?" Wei Shuxian hurriedly asked.

"Impossible. As soon as it got dark, everyone here would close their doors and windows tightly. Unless there was an emergency, no one would go out at night."

"Why?" you and Wei Shuxian asked at the same time.

Yin Guihua shrugged her shoulders, then put on a mysterious air and said, "I think it might be because of ghosts."

"Ghosts?"

"Pfft, what ghost could scare the people of an entire town like that? Without nightlife, can you imagine the economic loss for the whole town? If it were just ghosts, they would have sought help from a Taoist from Mount Mao to solve the problem long ago."

Yang Kai actually made a smart remark.

Xiao Feng nodded, "Little Kai is right, it’s probably not as simple as ghost disturbances."

"Hey, aren’t you guys from the supernatural detective society? How about I take you to a place where you can see ghosts?"

Yin Guihua was obviously the dramatic type. Back in school, she was a night owl. If she had no classes during the day, she could spend the whole night in front of her computer watching hunky actors from the Country of Bangzi.

"What place? Tell us about it." Yang Kai spoke with a grin, clearly restless and eager to go out for a wander.

Yin Guihua stretched her hand towards a nearby window and pointed, "There, that’s the place."

"An amusement park? What’s fun there, we’re not kids anymore."

Yin Guihua sniffed and said, "You don’t get it, I tell you, there’s a haunted house inside that amusement park, and it’s actually had ghost sightings."

"Going to a haunted house late at night, you think we have nothing better to do?" Wei Shuxian rolled his eyes dismissively and waved his hand, "Not going."

"I’m not interested either." Xiao Feng yawned, picked up his phone from the side, and started sending flirty WeChat messages to Han Lele again.

Yin Guihua turned to you and asked, "Big Boss, are you going?"

Actually, you also felt that it was quite boring for several people to stay in one room. Besides, you were somewhat interested in the environment of Fengwei Town, so you nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go check out that haunted house you mentioned."

"I’m going too."

Wu Qiyi closed her book, her face carrying a faint smile.
