Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Going to Do the Grave Digging Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Going to Do the Grave Digging “Hehe.”
Lin Caisang let out a foolish laugh.
“You’re here, right? You’ve descended like a god, saving me from this peril.”
You must keep up the flattery with Ya Molian in order to go smoothly about Hongling Town.
At that, Ya Molian glared at her. Taking advantage after being given a favor, this girl must be thinking that he’s so easily pleased, satisfied with just a few compliments?
“Have you ever considered that the young master of the Gong family was sick before he was poisoned?” he asked.
Lin Caisang looked doubtful for a moment, and then she shook her head.
“That’s impossible. Even if he was sick, it wouldn’t be so contagious. Otherwise, no one in the Gong residence would be unaware. And I have seen those women, all sickly, but they only got infected later.”
If that Young Master Gong, such a womanizer, had contracted some infectious disease, he would definitely have spread it to those women first.
But now, even though some of those women have contracted the disease, it isn’t severe, and no one has died.
“I really can’t understand it. Where did this strange disease come from?” She was utterly confused and felt completely lost.
“Where it came from, why not go take a look?” Ya Molian suggested.
“Go take a look? Go where? You don’t mean…”
At first, Lin Caisang was clueless. When she finally understood, she quickly widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Where?” Ya Molian asked.
Lin Caisang didn’t answer his question, outright denying his suggestion.
Undertaking grave-digging tasks in the pitch-black night would leave her scarred for life. She dare not get involved in something .
“You’re not going? Really not going?” Ya Molian arched an eyebrow, questioning her.
She desperately wanted to reply with a defiant ‘No’, even if he were to idolize her with his praises.
But… didn’t she initially come up with this idea herself? If she really doesn’t go, her lingering doubts will never be dispelled. To go or not to go?
“Why not wait until daylight? It’s pitch dark out here and we won’t be able to see the body if we dig it up right?” she proposed in a small voice.
Ya Molian raised an eyebrow and looked her up and down.
“Are you afraid of the dark?”
“You… who’s afraid of the dark? You’re the one who’s afraid, your whole family’s afraid!”
After hearing his words, Lin Caisang almost exploded, pointing at Ya Molian and ranting uncontrollably!
How could she be afraid of the dark? She’s walked countless times in the night. What’s the big deal about darkness? She was just… afraid of ghosts!
But would she ever admit it? Of course not!
There’s no way she would admit it and make a fool of herself. Anyway, she, Lin Caisang, is fearless.
“Let’s go, big deal! Come on, let’s move.”
Upon saying that, she got up, pulled Ya Molian by the arm and headed outside to locate Constable Wei to guide them.
Somewhere up a hillside, under the dim light illuminating several tombs, everything looked exceptionally eerie. Lin Caisang clung to Ya Molian, her small chubby hands gripping his arm tightly. Her mind was racing, fearing that a ghostly hand might reach out from somewhere and grab her away!
It couldn’t be helped. Such a psychological shadow was irremovable for her.
Some people are just like that, scared to death when walking alone at night, but perfectly fearless in broad daylight, wholly skeptical of superstitions and the supernatural.
Lin Caisang belonged to that category.
