Chapter 4

The captain did not hide the truth from them and told them: "That house was the house of an old hunter in the village. It was a brick house. The old hunter had no children and no one lived in it after he died. It may be a little dirty inside, but it will be more than enough for you to live in after cleaning it."

Several people did not rush to express their opinions and waited patiently for the captain's follow-up.

If it was just that simple, a brick house would not be left empty until now.

"But... the old hunter was a loner who didn't socialize with people, and his whereabouts were often mysterious. This led to him not being found for a long time when he suddenly died of a serious illness. When he was found, it was..."

The captain didn't finish his words, but it was enough to make people think about it. The timid Cheng Yi had already turned pale and his thin body began to tremble.

"So the choice is up to you. If you don't want to live there, you can also find a family in the village to stay with. But the village will not reimburse the rent, so you have to pay for it yourself."

After the captain finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

A burst of sobbing sounded, Wen Rou looked at Cheng Yi who was trying hard to hold back tears, and took the initiative to speak: "Captain, I saw that there is still a bed in the dormitory for female educated youth, let Cheng Yi live in it."

"No, no, I can't leave you alone!" Cheng Yi hurriedly refused. She was indeed very scared, but she couldn't leave Wen Rou and let Wen Rou live there alone.

"It's okay. I've been brave since I was a child, so I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Wen Rou smiled and blinked, "Besides, I'm a light sleeper. It's easy for me to sleep poorly when I sleep in the same room with others. In this way, you can be considered to be helping me!"

Seeing her sincerity, Cheng Yi hesitated and confirmed again, "Really?"

Wen Rou nodded, "Of course."

Others also confirmed their thoughts with her again. After Wen Rou nodded again and again, they really believed in her courage and couldn't help but admire her.

Since Wen Rou was not afraid, the male educated youths naturally couldn't be afraid either. They were all young and scientifically educated, and they didn't believe in those superstitious theories in their hearts.

Everyone agreed, and the team leader took a few people to the back mountain.

Seeing the house, everyone knew that the team leader did not lie to them.

The house is located on a vacant lot at the foot of the mountain. It is a square building made of stones, and the yard is surrounded by a stone wall. It does look better than the youth education center.

However, because no one has lived there for several years, the house is surrounded by weeds and looks gray.

It really looks like a "haunted house".

Cheng Yi felt a little weak when she saw the house. She has always been timid. If she were to sleep here alone at night, she would be scared to death.

Putting herself in the shoes of others, she began to persuade them: "Xiao Rou, why don't you squeeze in with me, here..."

"It's great here!" Wen Rou interrupted her persuasion with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid."

Wen Rou was really not afraid of these things. Her parents died when she was young, and she was treated as a burden and thrown around by her relatives.
