Zhou Yiran hurriedly grabbed her hand and prepared to escape.

But Jiang Xiaoli was clear-headed and could tell something was wrong at a glance.

"Where did this ghost come from? Don't scare yourself!"

what?

After hearing this, the people who were running away stopped and thought carefully.

Yeah, it seems like there are no ghosts chasing after me...

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoli and Zhou Yiran in the house were fine, everyone turned back.

"Hey, where's the ghost?" a villager asked puzzledly.

Seeing everyone being so cautious, Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile: "There is no ghost! It's just the sound of the wind!"

After saying that, she planned to go up to the attic from the stairs at the side.

"Xiao Li..." Zhou Yiran was a little worried and subconsciously reached out to hold her.

I don’t know what’s on top. What if something happens?

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Xiaoli's face was full of confidence.

For some reason, every time she said the word "don't worry", Zhou Yiran felt no worries at all.

She is always so confident.

After comforting the man, she turned and went up to the attic. Then, under the gaze of everyone, she pulled open the torn curtains next to her: "Look! There are holes on this window, and the sound of the wind blowing in is like someone crying."

This makes sense, but... "What about the ghost we saw just now?" the villagers asked below.

"Ghost?" Jiang Xiaoli raised his eyebrows, turned around to look at the curtain behind him, and pulled down something next to it.

"Is this what you are talking about?" What she was holding in her hand was an old piece of clothing.

It was probably accidentally hung on it when Zhao Fugui was still alive. After his death, no one in the Zhao family took care of it, so the old clothes naturally became "ghosts" in people's mouths.

The windows in the attic were broken and would open when the wind blew, so when villagers passed by in the middle of the night and looked in through the windows, they would mistakenly think there was a ghost.

After Jiang Xiaoli’s explanation, the villagers finally realized that this was the case!

A small misunderstanding actually frightened them for so many years!

The audience in the live broadcast room also breathed a sigh of relief.

[Huh... I was so scared, I thought there was really a ghost. ]

[It was a false alarm. Xiao Li is really smart! He helped everyone clear up the misunderstanding.]

[Xiao Li is so brave! If it were me, I would have been scared to death.]

[Me too! With this scene and the descriptions of the villagers, who wouldn’t be scared? ]

Mrs. Zhang reacted: "Then...what about Xiaozhuang? Where is he?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Since there was no ghost, where did this child go?

Jiang Xiaoli frowned slightly and inadvertently fell on the corner of the table. There was an obvious mark on the layers of dust.

Judging from the appearance, it is a child's hand print, and it was left not long ago.

Seeing this, she could conclude that Xiaozhuang must still be in there!

"Don't panic, let's look for it carefully."

Since there is no ghost, everything is easy.

Passing through the main hall, we came to the backyard, where there were several rooms.

Looking at the house, Zhou Yiran couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao Fugui? This name is really right. In the whole Tiankeng Village, his house is the largest and most spacious."

Not only is there a two-story building, there are also front and back yards and several guest rooms.

"Shh! Yi Ran, listen."

Jiang Xiaoli signaled him to keep quiet and listen carefully to the movements around him.

The next second, Zhou Yiran's eyes widened. He actually heard... intermittent snoring!

But the Zhao family has been deserted for a long time, so where did this rumor come from?

"Xiao Li, there can't really be..."

"Boom!"

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but slap him hard: "Are you stupid? Can ghosts make snoring sounds?"

Why is he like the stupid son of a wealthy family?

After hearing this, Zhou Yiran pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. Why did he act like a fool at this critical moment?

Following the direction where the snoring sound came from, the two walked step by step towards the innermost room.

It was not until they reached the door that they were sure that the sound came from inside.

"Xiao Zhuang? Xiao Zhuang!"

The snoring inside suddenly stopped, followed by the child's cry for help: "It's me, it's Xiao Zhuang! Get me out quickly."

It's really him!

Jiang Xiaoli subconsciously pushed the door, but found that it couldn't be opened no matter what.

It turned out that the door lock was broken...

"We can only use collision."

Zhou Yiran, who was standing by, pulled her away and said, "For this kind of thing, let a grown man like me handle it! Xiao Li, step back!"

This silly look is really cute.

Gathering enough strength, Zhou Yiran rushed forward...

"Bang!" The door was kicked open.

Finally rescued, Xiao Zhuang burst into tears.

"I thought I was going to die!"

He was always a little scared after being trapped here for several hours.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, stop crying. You are quite brave. You can sleep in this place."

As expected, he is a child. He will not sleep even if he is scared.

"Come on, let's take you out. Your mother is still outside looking for you."

Xiao Zhuang pouted: "My legs... hurt, I can't walk."

The two looked in the direction he pointed and found that Xiaozhuang's legs were bruised.

"What happened?" Zhou Yiran asked subconsciously.

The little guy hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoli had no choice but to say: "Take him out first."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiran did not hesitate and squatted down directly: "Come up."

Xiao Zhuang didn't hesitate and climbed onto his back using his hands and feet.

Jiang Xiaoli saw this scene and it made her appreciate the male artist in front of her even more.

Although Zhou Yiran is sometimes silly and naive, he is indeed kind.

If it were some male artists, they would definitely not be willing to carry a child on their backs.

The three of them came to the front yard and were surrounded by villagers.

"Xiao Zhuang! My son."

Mrs. Zhang checked him over as soon as she came up: "How are you? Are you okay?"

"Mom, I fell and broke my leg."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter! As long as I'm still alive, that's all!"

These words made everyone present laugh out loud. This mother is really generous!

After making sure that the child was fine, the village chief came to ask him what had happened.

Xiao Zhuang felt a little embarrassed when talking about what happened tonight.

"Shitou and the others came here to explore. I knew Shitou wanted to scare me, so I hid on purpose."

"But I didn't expect...he got scared first and ran away without finding me."

"When I tried to get out of the backyard, I found the door lock was broken and I was locked in... and I fell down."

If Jiang Xiaoli hadn't insisted on going to the deserted building to find someone today, I'm afraid he would have been finished.

After understanding everything, Mrs. Zhang thanked Jiang Xiaoli and the others profusely.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Jiang Xiaoli shook his head slightly: "This is what we should do, but Village Chief, I want to say a few words to the people in our village."
