Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 215 Haunted
Early the next morning, Wu Chen arrived in the west of the city.

But he didn't rush to get close to Zhang's mansion, but first strolled around casually.

"Ma'am, I want to ask you something."

Wu Chen walked up to a woman who seemed to be more talkative.

"Young man, what do you want to know?" The woman smiled.

"It's like this. I heard that Zhang Yuan's family is recruiting servants from the nursing home. I want to apply for the job, but I don't know the specific situation there, so I want to ask you first." Wu Chen said.

"What! Zhang Dashan's family! Young man, you'd better not go!" The woman's complexion changed instantly.

"What's wrong? Why can't you go?" Wu Chen was startled.

"Sigh... this... It's also an unfair fate. Zhang Dashan has done many good deeds in his daily life. There are very few of us in the neighborhood who have not received his kindness. It happened at his house..." The woman shook her head and sighed regretfully.

"Sneaky thing? What exactly is it?" Wu Chen hurriedly asked.

"Oh, that's right, his house...was haunted, and many servants were scared away. Otherwise, Yuanwai wouldn't have paid such a high price to recruit the nursing home. Before, there were a few who paid a lot of money to go, but Within a few days, they were all scared away." The woman lowered her voice and said cautiously.

"What? Haunted!"

Wu Chen was momentarily stunned.

In the modern world, anyone who talks about being haunted is sure to be treated as a joke.

But in this different world, who knows if there really are ghosts?

It's not impossible.

If there were any evil spirits, he would be foolish enough to bump into them, wouldn't he be courting death?

"Young man, I'm not lying to you. Many people around here know about this. If you don't believe it, you can ask others. If you still don't believe it, I have a child from a relative who worked for Zhang Dashan's family before. I’m still very scared, I can take you to see him.”

Seeing Wu Chen's suspicious reaction, the woman immediately added a few words.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder, ma'am, I'll see what's going on."

Wu Chen thanked him and left.

Next, he walked around the neighborhood again, asked a few people, and found out that Zhang Yuan's house was haunted, obviously he couldn't hide it from these nearby neighbors.

Some people even said it vividly, what

"That evil ghost has a blue face and fangs, is eight feet tall, and has a face as big as a copper plate. When my nephew met him, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp."

"Suddenly, a monster with a festered face, a bloated body, and a waist as thick as a bucket appeared. I was suddenly stupid..."

"The female ghost's figure is ethereal, her face is terrifying, and the blood on her face is extremely frightening... Zhang Dashan's son is still so frightened that he can't get up in bed. Alas, there is only such a single seedling in his family..."

Hearing these words, Wu Chen was speechless.

Okay, even if that ghost really exists, not to mention the image, why don't you even have the same gender in your mouth.

However, after inquiring about this information, Wu Chen actually wanted to apply for the nursing home.

He was just here to see it, and he didn't plan to apply for it.

But since there are some abnormal situations here, it is different.

Among the hints he received earlier, there was a key piece of information.

It's just that the system deliberately said, "You find that you can't do anything."

This is a more obvious hint.

On the other hand, if Wu Chen hadn't left the village the previous time, he stepped forward when the Qiang people attacked and played an obvious role, wouldn't this task have been completed directly?
It's quite possible.

But there is no way to miss it, we can only remedy it according to this idea.

If he can solve this haunted mystery, could it serve a similar purpose?

After thinking about it, Wu Chen stepped over and knocked on the door of Zhang's mansion.

The door opened.

An elderly servant appeared inside.

"Excuse me, is this Zhang Yuan's family? I'm here to apply for a nursing home." Wu Chen said proactively.

"Guardian? That's great! I'll inform the master right away!" The old servant looked surprised.

Soon, Wu Chen saw Zhang Yuanwai.

He is well-built, wearing a splendid gown, about 50 to [-] years old, with a wrinkled round face full of sadness, and he is constantly moaning and sighing when he walks, looking in a bad mood.

However, when he heard that Wu Chen had come to apply for the nursing home, he immediately became more energetic.

"Young man, what do you call it? My welfare here is very good. As long as you come, I will give you 5 taels of silver immediately, and as long as you stay here for a month, I will give you another 30 taels. What do you think? "

In other words, it adds up to 35 taels, and you can get it in a month, and there are no other restrictions, which sounds really good.

Wu Chen has already learned about the approximate salary level in this county.

Like ordinary handicraft practitioners, the salary level is one month, ranging from two taels of silver to five taels of silver.

The salary level of this nursing home has obviously far exceeded the normal level.

"Uh, Yuanwai, since you are here to work as a nursing home, do you want to test my level?" Wu Chen asked.

"No, no." Zhang Yuanwai quickly shook his hand.

He didn't explain why he didn't use it, but judging from the bitter expression on his face, it would be nice if someone came...

"Okay, then I will agree, but I hope to change the way of remuneration. If I can solve the secret of the haunted house, you can just give me 30 taels of silver. I don't know what happens?" Wu Chen suggested with.

"You...?" Zhang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment.

It seems that he did not expect Wu Chen to say these words.

Wu Chen smiled and remained silent.

Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but take a deep look at Wu Chen.

This time his eyes were obviously different, he no longer regarded Wu Chen as an ordinary recruit.

"Yes. However, don't refuse the five taels of silver. My Zhang Mansion is in dire straits now, and I must thank those who are willing to lend a helping hand, so please accept it. Finally...be careful at night." Zhang Yuanwai said with a slightly heavy expression.

"Okay." Wu Chen nodded.

"Old Yang, arrange a wing room and settle Wu Chen down. Then go to the mansion and get five taels of silver for him." Zhang Yuanwai ordered the old servant.

"Good master, don't worry, I will arrange it properly."

Immediately, the old servant took Wu Chen to a row of rooms on the west side, found one and settled down.

This house is quite big, and it is built in style.

Non-members, non-members, and non-staff officials are equivalent to modern local tyrants. Even if they have no official position, they have certain rights because they are rich.
