Chapter 209 The Haunted Villa
Chapter 209 The Haunted Villa
However, compared to what this guy did, they were more curious about what happened in the front yard. It sounded like something big had happened. Could there be an assassin?
They had just heard a cry for help, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
At this moment, various screams and cries for help were heard from the front yard. The more they listened, the more panicked they became. Could it be that a group of bandits had arrived?
Thinking of this, some people carefully ran to the front yard to see what was going on, but they were careful not to get too close. If a group of bandits really came, they would have to hide or run for their lives.
"Ghost!!!"
"There's a ghost! Help!"
"A ghost is harming people! Run away!"
……
Hearing all kinds of screams coming from the front yard in the distance, the servants in the backyard were also a little panicked. Some people didn't even dare to check the situation, and hurriedly ran to the back door and ran out from the back door, trying to save their lives first.
The slaves who were guarding Xiaohu were also panicked, especially when they saw some slaves running back. A group of them shouted in panic, "Run away!" They immediately stopped guarding and quickly followed them to escape.
Seeing this, Wei Xiaohu was shocked and quickly stood up.
This is a good opportunity to escape. God is really willing to spare him!
Soon, the evil spirit in the front yard spread to the back yard, and it was cold and gloomy everywhere, with gusts of cold wind.
But at this time, several servants and Wei Xiaohu had escaped through the back door and were running out in panic. They ran fast and luckily escaped the disaster and were not corroded by the evil spirit.
Soon, the entire Zhaojiazhuang fell into darkness. All the candles and lanterns were extinguished, and the wind was blowing coldly. Even the shouting gradually died down, and the silence was terrifying.
The people who were fleeing gasped, stopped, and looked back at the dark villa. Their hearts sank. Something really big had happened!
However, this is a bad thing and bad news for many people, but it is a great thing for Wei Xiaohu.
He escaped!
He also looked back at the villa, with lingering fear. He guessed that a powerful ghost must have been released from the small bronze tripod, which was why it suddenly became haunted and brought disaster to the entire villa!
He swallowed and was extremely grateful that he had not opened the small tripod without permission before, otherwise, he would have been the one to die!
He didn't dare to look anymore and quickly fled to other places. He didn't run with the slaves, otherwise he would still die.
Unfortunately, his bag of money was taken away by the guards. That was most of his wealth, and now it was all gone.
But fortunately, he had carefully hidden some banknotes in his shoes, otherwise he would have gone hungry again.
As the night deepened, the forest was pitch black, with only some moonlight illuminating the road.
The people who are fleeing don’t care about the dangers outside. Even if there are dangers, can they be scarier than a haunted manor?
That night, many people were terrified.
……
Early in the morning, when the sky was bright and the sun was rising, a group of people rode their horses towards Zhaojiazhuang.
The slaves who escaped last night ran to the Zhao family shop in the surrounding town and asked for help from the Zhao family.
The managers of the shops were horrified when they heard this. If it was really a ghost, they had no way to save it. They could only quickly contact Zhao Laoxie who was far away in Zhuangjia Town.
Only the owner can handle this kind of thing.
So Zhao Laoxie didn't care about the affairs of Zhuangjia Town and hurriedly brought his people to the villa.
When we arrived here, it was already bright and the sun was high in the sky.
When Zhao Laoxie and others saw Zhaojiazhuang from afar, they were shocked. They immediately pulled the reins, stopped moving forward, and watched from afar.
At this time, Zhaojiazhuang was shrouded in a gray fog, and the surrounding mountains and forests were also filled with gray fog.
Even though the sun is shining brightly at this time, the dazzling sunlight cannot completely dispel the strange fog.
In places exposed to sunlight, the thunder and lightning will be very faint, but in dark places, there will be thick fog and a gloomy atmosphere.
The entire villa was dead silent. From a distance, one could tell that this place was ominous and even more frightening than some haunted houses.
Seeing this familiar gray fog, Zhao Laoxie and his companions were all shocked. This scene was so similar to that in Zhuangjia Town!
No, it should be said that this is the second Zhuangjia Town!
"How is this going?"
"Why is there such a strong evil spirit in the villa?"
"Could it be that the evil creatures in Zhuangjia Town were brought to the villa?"
"It seems that those who didn't escape are in great danger."
"Master Zhao, are we still going in now?"
The Taoists beside Zhao Laoxie cried out in surprise, their faces filled with horror and confusion.
The group of guards following behind him were even more aware of some fear. They all knew the possibilities of this gray fog. No one knew whether there were any powerful evil creatures comparable to those in Zhuangjia Town, or whether there was any strange ghost wall?
"Master Zhao, I suggest you don't rush in. First, find out what happened to those who escaped, then find out the situation in the villa before entering." One of the oldest Taoist priests suggested.
Zhao Laoxie's face was solemn as he looked at the steward beside him, "Where are the people who escaped?"
"Master, please wait a moment. I have sent someone to bring them here. They should be here soon."
Because those servants could not ride horses, they were not brought along when they went to Zhuangjia Town to report the news last night. The main reason was that those servants did not know much, they only knew that there was a ghost in the front yard.
At this time, another group of people came from a distance. They were several guards who brought the slaves who had escaped last night.
When they rode up to them, the guards on horseback pulled the slaves off.
"I've met the head of the family."
They saluted Zhao Laoxie in unison.
The servants looked a little embarrassed and frightened at this time, especially when they saw the situation in the villa from afar, their legs unconsciously became weak.
"Tell us in detail what happened at night." Zhao Laoxie looked at them coldly.
Several servants trembled and spoke quickly.
"Reporting to the master, we were staying in the backyard last night. When the incident happened in the front yard, we only heard people shouting about ghosts. Later, all the guards went to the front yard, but soon, all kinds of screams and shouts of ghosts came from the front yard. At that time, the cold wind from the front yard blew into the backyard, which was extremely creepy. We were so scared that we ran away. I don't know anything else."
"After we ran out of the villa, we looked back and saw that all the lights were out. Even the screams had stopped. Those ghosts were really powerful."
"Yes, yes, it was scary..."
After hearing their story, Zhao Lao Xie's face darkened. He then asked, "When the Second Young Master returned, was there anything unusual? What was the situation in the front yard before the incident? Did anyone visit?"
The reason why Zhao Gaoyang was allowed to leave first was that he was supposed to send someone to keep an eye on Ning Ji and the other two, but something happened that day, which made people think more.
