Chapter 327 Who is it
As Xiang Yan’s words fell, everyone got startled again. Those who were faint-hearted, like Shen Yiyue, immediately cringed behind Shen Yiguang in fear.
Because Xiang Yan’s expression was one of utter horror. Her expression, along with Xiang Gu and the other children, was very contagious. Shen Yiqiu and Shen Yixiang hurriedly pulled them aside to comfort them.
Shen Yiguang looked toward his niece, "What did you see? Let’s go back inside and talk about it carefully, don’t scare yourself."
Xiang Yan steadied herself and, seeing everyone around, slightly relaxed as well. She let Shen Yiqiu pull her into the house, where everyone sat down on the bed stove, all eyes on her.
Xiang Yan slowly began, "I saw, by the outer wall, blood. A lot of blood, drawn like a human face. It was terrifying..."
Xiang Gu also added, "I was helping with the torches, walking behind my sister, and when she turned her head, she got frightened and ran back inside. I didn’t care for anything else and followed where she had been looking, got scared myself, and immediately pulled Xiaoquan back with me... Not sure if Xiaoquan managed to finish..."
The crowd: "..."
"How could this be? Are you sure you saw it right? Perhaps it was just some kids playing with mud," said Shen Yiqiu.
"It’s not that, we both saw it clearly. Mud isn’t so bright in color that was blood red, no, that was definitely blood..."
Shen Erniu said, "Even if it is blood, it’s no big deal. Maybe some naughty kids put it there. Besides, what is there to fear? We haven’t done anything wrong. Ah Guang, go out and have a look."
Yang Peimin also nodded. Although she feared ghosts and darkness herself, logically speaking, such things didn’t exist. "Don’t be afraid; everyone’s here. Let’s go out and see what’s going on."
With that, everyone relaxed a bit, Shen Yixiang sniffed, "What’s that smell?"
