"That's right. Yuan Meng is really smart," someone said.
"With so many people dead in the village, how could there be no men?" Xiang Bo murmured.
Mo Lin nodded. "Let's search around the village to see if we can find any clues."
The group began to search around the gloomy village. Yang Liu and Yuan Meng walked in the middle.
"Look. What's that pile over there? Is it a tomb mound?" Xiang Bo pointed at the suspicious bulge in the open space.
Everyone tiptoed towards the mound. The closer they got, the more Yang Liu trembled. She was on the verge of crying.
These days, people usually go to cemeteries. Suddenly seeing such an ancient tomb mound was truly eerie and terrifying, especially in such an old - fashioned village. It made people think of... the ghost in the deserted village.
When they were not far from the mound, they could see it more clearly. It was definitely a tomb mound.
"Woo - woo - woo." Yang Liu couldn't control herself. Her body shook, and she burst into tears.
She squatted on the ground and refused to move forward. Yuan Meng raised her eyebrows and also trembled. Two lines of clear tears streamed down her eyelids.
Compared with Yang Liu, who was crying loudly and looking a mess, Yuan Meng, who was crying silently, looked cute and pitiful.
Yuan Xingcheng rolled his eyes secretly. His aunt's acting skills were really good. Tsk, she was really cut out for this.
"It's okay. You just follow behind. It's just for show. Don't be scared."
In front of the camera, Xiang Bo started to tell the truth. "These are all fake. The director and the crew set them up..."
After he rambled on for a while, Yang Liu reluctantly stood up from the ground. Yuan Meng also nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to follow everyone.
The director watching from the monitor chuckled. The guests' "good fortune" was yet to come.
"There must be clues under this tomb mound, but do we have to dig it up?" Xiang Bo asked belatedly.
Hearing that they had to dig up the tomb, Yang Liu, who had just calmed down a bit, was on the verge of tears again. She was terrified.
"If we want to get the clues, we have to dig up the tomb. Fortunately, this show is live - streamed. Otherwise, it would never be aired," Mo Lin sighed.
Yuan Xingcheng said self - deprecatingly, "I've never seen a variety show where they dig up tombs live on air. Will we end up in handcuffs after this variety show?"
[Hahaha, what these guests said is exactly what I was thinking. Fortunately, this show is live - streamed. Otherwise, such a crazy move would have been banned long ago.]
[Guys, I was really scared at first, but when I heard the guests chatting, I thought it wasn't that bad.]
[Before coming to this show, they were all top - notch handsome guys. After coming to this show, they're all a bunch of oddballs. Director, give me back my idol!]
[Yang Liu is really scared. Ever since Yuan Meng suddenly "turned dark" that day, Yang Liu has been scared all the time. Does she really think there are ghosts?]
To dig up these tomb mounds, they needed tools. There were shovels in the village.
After a heated discussion, Xiang Bo, Yuan Xingcheng, and Mo Lin finally decided that Yuan Xingcheng would stay with the two ladies.
As soon as the two energetic men left, the gloomy environment became even more terrifying, like the underworld.
"I've heard that men have strong yang energy and women have strong yin energy. Now there are two women and only one man. Will something... happen?"
Yang Liu's face turned pale, and goosebumps rose all over her body. She was really scared by her own words.
Yuan Xingcheng frowned but didn't say a word. Superstition was not something to be taken seriously, so he had nothing to say.
Yuan Meng's delicate porcelain - doll - like face showed no expression. Tired of standing, she walked over listlessly and put her arms around her nephew.
Seeing her walking like a controlled puppet with a stiff body, Yang Liu gasped. She remembered the scene that day.
How could the person who was usually the softest and most easily scared suddenly become so... ferocious?
Could it be?
Yang Liu rolled her eyes in her sockets. After swallowing hard, she tentatively asked, "Yuan Meng, do you think it's really possible for a ghost to possess someone?"
Hearing this, Yuan Meng lazily lifted her eyelids to look at her, then slowly showed a big smile. "What do you think?"
"Ah!" Yang Liu was so scared that she screamed. She wished she could faint immediately.
She knew it! Yuan Meng must have been possessed by a ghost!
"Yuan Xingcheng, come here quickly. The person beside you isn't Yuan Meng. It's a ghost!"
"A ghost has possessed her!" Yang Liu didn't forget to scream for Yuan Xingcheng.
Yuan Xingcheng rolled his eyes. If he dared to go over because of her slander, his aunt would definitely skin him alive as a warning.
Feeling his aunt's kind look beside him, Yuan Xingcheng didn't move at all. He said righteously, "Yang Liu, if you're free, eat some plums. Don't let your mind wander all day long."
"Since the founding of the People's Republic, demons can't turn into spirits, let alone ghosts."
"Besides, there are quite a few viewers watching our live - stream. Can you stop talking nonsense?"
These words of righteousness made Yang Liu dizzy. She pouted aggrievedly and didn't dare to say more. However, she still thought there must be something wrong with Yuan Meng.
"I'm a bit tired. Let's go and sit down to rest," Yuan Meng poked Yuan Xingcheng.
Rather than wasting time on unnecessary people, it was better to go and find some clues. She just remembered there were clues under the tree.
Yuan Xingcheng nodded. "Okay."
The two walked towards the tree. Seeing that they really didn't plan to care about her, Yang Liu took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
Even though she was angry, she still followed them dejectedly. She was really too scared to stay here alone.
Seeing that Yuan Meng was about to sit down in front of the tree stump, Yang Liu rushed over in a flash and sat down on the spot Yuan Meng wanted to sit on.
She was so fast that the other two didn't even react.
Yuan Meng raised her eyebrows. She really didn't expect someone to rush to court death.
Since that was the case, why not fulfill her wish?
So, Yuan Meng grabbed the confused Yuan Xingcheng and stood still. She gave him a look.
Yang Liu was satisfied that she had won this round. She was feeling good. They were standing, and she was sitting. It really felt great.
Especially when she snatched the seat someone else wanted, it felt even more comfortable.
Suddenly, Yang Liu felt a cold breeze blowing by her ear. She instinctively turned her head.
A face with empty eyes, bloody tears on the cheeks, and a pale complexion made her body go stiff.
"Ah!" Yang Liu let out a scream comparable to a dolphin's cry.
She suddenly stood up and roared, "Ghost!"
Seeing her miserable state, Yuan Meng found it funny. She threw herself into her nephew's arms.
She had no choice. If she didn't do this, Yang Liu would come. For her nephew's innocence.
So, Yang Liu, who was about to ask Yuan Xingcheng for help, stood there awkwardly, not even daring to turn her head.
"It's so scary," Yuan Meng whimpered.
Yuan Xingcheng, who was holding his aunt in his arms, felt a lot of pressure. Were they playing this big?
However, his aunt's acting skills were really good.
