Bigshot, Your Wife Is With Her Tarot Cards Again! Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Be Careful of Ghosts

Yun Qin continued to walk in. The few houses by the side of the path had white lanterns hanging at the door, all kinds of couplets, and wreaths. It was a dazzling sight.

Although she understood that this was a finished product for sale, Yun Qin still felt that it was somewhat unacceptable.

Especially when she suddenly saw a few paper dolls with pale human faces from a window, Yun Qin felt goosebumps on her skin.

This kind of mental attack was much more uncomfortable than any physical attack.

After walking on the cobblestone path for a while, the village’s broadcast system rang out, “The plague has been rampant recently. To protect the safety of the villagers’ property, please do not leave the village at will. If anything happened, report it immediately. If anything happened, report it immediately…”

At this moment, the sun was setting. Yun Qin looked at the various funeral supplies around her, looking for the great banyan tree that was the symbol of Mr. Zhao’s home.

Suddenly, a man holding a flashlight called out to her. He said with an unfriendly expression, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Yun Qin frowned. She did not expect to be stopped and questioned even while she was walking. However, she still said in a good temper, “Nothing. I’m just looking around.”

“For now, we’re not selling anything. Please leave as soon as possible.”

The man looked her up and down carefully. Seeing that Yun Qin didn’t bring any sensitive items, he urged her to leave in a bad mood.

“Okay, sure,” Yun Qin replied casually. Then, she watched the man turn around and leave as if he was patrolling the streets.

There was also a black ghost mark on his wrist.

This was strange. Why was a village suffering from a livestock plague not trying to quell the plague as soon as possible but rather restricting people’s movement in and out of the village?

It seemed that she had to come out at night to check it out. Yun Qin quickened her pace and soon, she saw a conspicuous banyan tree in front of her.

When she walked to the banyan tree, Yun Qin discovered that there were five families with houses around the banyan tree. Placed under the banyan tree and in front of their doors were coffins.

After Yun Qin looked at it, she felt that the old house at the very edge should be Mr. Zhao’s old house.

When she walked to the door, she saw a woman coming out from the next house to pour water. There was a black mark on her wrist.

Yun Qin asked tentatively, “Ma’am, is this Mr. Zhao’s old house?”

The woman looked at Yun Qin but did not answer directly. There was a mole under her lips. When she spoke, the mole moved before her mouth did. She asked, “Who are you?”

This time, Yun Qin had experience. She answered, “I’m his relative. I’m staying here for the night.”

The woman then stopped scrutinizing her and pouted at the old house next to her. “This is it.”

Seeing Yun Qin take out her keys and was about to open the door to enter the house, the woman said in a low voice, “Don’t run around at night. Be careful — there’s a ghost!”

Yun Qin didn’t expect this woman was trying to scare her with a ghost, so she wanted to laugh. She thought that the woman was kindly reminding her and replied, “Okay!”

When the woman returned to her house and saw the little figure crawling out of the crib, she was so scared that she quickly ran forward and pushed the baby back into the crib. She scolded, “Naughty monkey! See if you will fall to your death!”

Then, she prepared some milk and fed it to the baby. After that, she locked the door and windows. Then, she carried the baby and sat in front of the TV, eating sunflower seeds while watching TV.

When she got to the exciting part of the show, the woman would laugh in a high-pitched voice and spit out two pieces of sunflower seeds.

The baby in her arms pointed at the television and babbled, “Car, car.”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The woman immediately looked at the wooden door warily and cursed, “Who is it? It’s the middle of the night!”

A young girl’s voice came from outside the door, “Ma’am, sorry to disturb you. I have something to ask you.”

The woman rolled her eyes and hesitated for a moment. Then she placed the child back into the crib and opened the door.

The young girl standing outside the door with a smile on her face was Yun Qin.

Yun Qin was holding something in her hand. When she saw the woman open the door, she quickly handed over whatever was in her hand, “Ma’am, this is for you.”

The woman looked at the bag of food in Yun Qin’s hand. There were also a few conspicuous bills on top of the bag. She swallowed her saliva, but still placed her hands on her waist and said, “Cut the crap. What’s do you want?”

Yun Qin took out a few more bills from her pocket and said with a smile, “I just want to ask you something. I want to make friends.”

The woman looked at all the cash and finally agreed. She moved aside and motioned for Yun Qin to come in. Then, she stuck her head out of the door and looked around vigilantly before closing the door again.

When she turned around, Yun Qin was still standing by the door. Her eyes were clear and she looked innocent. The woman suddenly had confidence and snorted, “If you want to ask me for information, this is not enough.”
