“A friend of mine introduced him to me. He’s rather reliable,” Huo Chen said.

Beitang Lie nodded. The image of the little girl in red appeared in his mind again. His expression was complicated. “That little girl we saw just now, is she a human or a ghost?”

This was the question he wanted to figure out the most.

“Did any of you notice if that little girl had a shadow? Isn’t it said that ghosts don’t have shadows?” Chi Jiao commented.

The others did not notice this.

They were all focused on the little girl’s appearance.

However, they were still a distance away, and the little girl’s hair hung down to cover most of her face. Apart from her pale face, they couldn’t see anything else.

Seeing Quan Jue, Huo Chen, and Pei Yao shake their heads, Beitang Lie also shook his head.

“I took special care to observe if she had a shadow,” Chi Jiao deliberately put on a serious expression.

“So, does she have a shadow?” Beitang Lie asked carefully.

“Oh, do you want to know?” Chi Jiao blinked her big, sparkling eyes at him.

Beitang Lie nodded anxiously.

Quan Jue could already tell that Chi Jiao was deliberately teasing Beitang Lie. He looked at her in an exasperated but doting manner.

Huo Chen and Pei Yao could tell that Chi Jiao was up to no good, but they both chose to keep quiet and just enjoyed the show.

“I saw it very clearly just now. That little girl…” Chi Jiao suddenly stopped speaking and instead reached out to flick his forehead.

Beitang Lie, who was already extremely jittery, was startled by her actions. He nearly cried out.

“Of course she has a shadow! I’ve already told you not to be such a paranoid scaredy-cat. You’re always scaring yourself,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.

Beitang Lie had been nearly scared to death by her.

He looked at Chi Jiao with an affronted expression. “I’m not scared!”

Even so, he heaved a sigh of relief at her revelation.

It was good that the little girl had a shadow.

As long as it was not a ghost, he wouldn’t be afraid no matter what it was.

At that moment, Ah Ping came in with a woman and some food.

The woman was about the same age as him. She was shorter and had darker skin. She looked like an amiable and honest person.

“Mr. Huo, this is my wife, Little Xiu.” Ah Ping introduced his wife to Huo Chen with a smile. “My wife prepared the food for today. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, everyone should eat it to warm your bodies. It gets increasingly cold during the night in our village, so don’t catch a chill. Our witch doctor has been away from the village recently, so it won’t be good if you fall sick.”

Feng Tong Village was rather primitive. Even now, they still followed practices and customs that were set hundreds of years ago. When any villagers fell sick, they would go to the village witch doctor for treatment.

The food was very simple. Two dishes and a soup. The dishes consisted only of vegetables, while the soup was a classic egg drop soup.

A family like Ah Ping’s could only splurge and buy meat during the New Year celebrations.

After the dishes were set out, Huo Chen thanked Ah Ping and took out an envelope from the pocket of his coat. He handed it to him.

“This is the deposit we agreed on. There’s also money to buy ingredients for our meals. Tomorrow, I’ll have to trouble you to buy some meat or something. If it’s not enough, feel free to ask me for more,” Huo Chen said.

Ah Ping bowed and accepted the envelope, thanking Huo Chen profusely.
