If they wanted to continue walking, they had to go through this cemetery.
Su Meng and Shen Jian did not care, but Lin Ai was afraid. She stopped and looked at the graveyard, not daring to continue walking.
“What? Are you afraid of the graveyard?” Shen Jian turned to look at Lin Ai.
Lin Ai nodded and said in embarrassment, “I’m most afraid of this kind of thing. I don’t even dare to watch crime movies, let alone ghost movies. I’m… well… most afraid of things like dead people and ghosts.”
“Everyone has a time of death. Let’s not talk about whether ghosts exist. Even if they do, they won’t hurt you. If ghosts really have that ability, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? No matter what happens, there is a prerequisite. If you don’t do anything and don’t trigger it, naturally nothing will happen.”
“Moreover, these dead people are also the relatives of others. What you’re afraid of is what others think of day and night. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, we’re just passing through the middle. We’re not doing anything taboo. It’s fine.” Su Meng comforted Lin Ai. Her tone was gentle.
Shen Jian actually saw a glimmer of maternal brilliance from Su Meng. He went up to ask Su Meng. “Boss, you’re really not afraid of ghosts?”
Su Meng: “I am.”
Shen Jian: “Then why are you comforting Lin Ai?”
Su Meng rolled her eyes at Shen Jian and said coldly, “Does encouraging others have anything to do with whether you’re afraid or not?”
Shen Jian: “…”
That made a lot of sense.
The three of them walked towards the opposite side of the graveyard. Just as they reached the other side, Su Meng noticed something amiss. A portion of this graveyard had been occupied by someone to build a house.
The reason why she noticed this was because she could see the aura of death around the few houses beside the graveyard. That was something that would only emanate from the graveyard.
“These people are actually fighting for territory with the dead,” Su Meng said as she looked at the houses around her.
“What?” Shen Jian did not understand what Su Meng meant.
“This graveyard looks quite old. The people who chose this place as a graveyard back then really have good taste. There are mountains surrounding this place, and there is flowing water. The surrounding vegetation is exuberant. It is definitely a feng shui treasure land, and the best kind. Just by standing here, you can feel the surging vitality around you.”
“On the other hand, the other parts of the village are more or less flawed. The people in this village must have consulted some powerful feng shui master to do this.”
After Su Meng finished speaking, she pointed at a large rock between the graveyard and the house and said, “There’s also a well dug.”
Shen Jian and Lin Ai looked in the direction Su Meng pointed. No matter how they looked at it, it was still a large rock. Hence, the two of them took a few steps forward and looked closer. It was indeed a well.
The well was not wide, but it looked very deep. Moreover, it was not sealed. It was directly exposed. Next to it was a big rock that was half the height of a person. There were a few talismans stuck on it.
“What’s the use of this well?” Shen Jian was very close to the well. He could still hear the echoes of his voice when he spoke to the well.
“Both of you, be careful. This well is not clean. They are fighting with the dead for the feng shui treasure land. They will definitely attract some unclean things. However, by digging a well between them and affixing the name of the owner of the grave they are occupying, they will be able to suppress it. This kind of suppression is to ensure that those few will never be reincarnated so as to prevent them from receiving revenge in the future.”
“They are really too ruthless. To fight for the land of the dead and to cast a curse on them, what kind of hatred would they have to have to do such a thing?” Lin Ai heard Su Meng’s words and her face turned red with anger.
From the moment she entered the village, Su Meng had felt that there was something strange about the village. Now that she saw this, she was even more certain of her own thoughts.
The people in the village were not afraid of retribution by doing this.
Su Meng was deep in thought when she suddenly realized that Shen Jian’s actions were a little strange. Shen Jian was actually lying on the edge of the well and his head was still leaning downwards, as if he would jump down at any moment.
Su Meng quickly went forward and grabbed Shen Jian by the back of his collar and pulled him down. Seeing that Shen Jian’s eyes were blank, she stretched out her hand and slapped him twice. Only then did Shen Jian come back to his senses.
Shen Jian covered his face that was red from Su Meng’s slap and asked aggrievedly, “Boss, why did you hit me?”
“This place is too strange. Let’s go to the Village Chief’s house to take a look first, then we’ll see if we need to settle this.” Su Meng ignored Shen Jian and turned around to leave after saying that.
