Chapter 262: 159: Taking Little Fourth into the House, [Major Chapter, Over Four Thousand Words]_2



How strange!

Ye Fan became very curious.

This Little Fourth is…

When he heard Little Fourth’s words again, Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

Is this really an ordinary child?

Would a normal child say such things?

And what’s more, from the sound of it, Little Fourth seemed to be looking forward to it.

This…

Now that this conversation had truly come from Little Fourth’s mouth, Ye Fan started to worry,

“Little Fourth, is there anything you’re feeling uncomfortable with?” Ye Fan blurted out.

He was worried…

Not that he was superstitious or anything, but places like this usually have something odd about them, so he worried if Little Fourth might be…

And Father Ye, with Ye Yu following behind, couldn’t help but feel anxious and even a bit scared.

“Dad, I’m fine. I’m just really curious about this haunted house. What could possibly happen to me?” Ye Jie said.

What was her dad so worried about?

“If you’re okay, then great. Dad, if Ye Yu gets scared, you can just take her out ahead of time. At the places with cameras, just wave to get out!” Ye Fan said to Father Ye beside him.

“Okay, don’t worry about us. I’ll take care of Ye Yu, and you take care of Ye Jie!” Father Ye said.

“Grandpa, I can hold on a little longer. I’m a bit curious. Let’s follow Dad and the others to take a look. If I get scared, I’ll say something and then we can get out!” Ye Yu immediately told Father Ye.

Although she was very scared deep down, she was eager to find out if it was as her younger sister had said, or what kind of scene it was.

She was extremely curious!

After all, they were behind their dad, what could possibly happen to them?

She wanted to sneak a peek first.

“All right, if you get scared, tell Grandpa, okay? Grandpa will take you out!” Ye Dong told Ye Yu.

He was worried too.

But, thinking that they were behind Ye Fan, he felt a bit better.

As for his son, Ye Dong had a lot of trust and peace of mind.

After all, this was a haunted house, made by humans; normally, nothing dangerous would happen here.

Otherwise, if anything did happen, wouldn’t the owner have to compensate?

Although they had signed a paper upon entering, it was an agreement not to assault the staff or to intentionally damage the props.

The owner opened a haunted house to make money, after all, why would they create trouble for themselves?

“Mhm, don’t worry, Grandpa!” said Ye Yu.

On this side…

“Ye Jie, aren’t you scared?” Ye Fan asked.

“Not scared. It feels like an adventure game. I’m excited and curious. Let’s go, let’s go inside!” Ye Jie said as she pulled Ye Fan toward the inside.

As they entered Corpse Village, they saw the lights here seemed a bit brighter, but they still weren’t very clear.

It looked like a little square, probably where village meetings were held. There were many tables and chairs around, many of which were broken, missing a leg, with weeds growing all around and some moldy, rotten clothes on the ground.

At that moment, Little Fourth Ye Jie let go of Ye Fan’s hand and looked around, feeling a bit disappointed.

“Dad, look, there’s nothing here, I haven’t seen bodies strewn everywhere!” Ye Jie said, somewhat disappointed.

“You, girl, really have a lot of courage!” Ye Fan said with a helpless smile.

This little one was really surprising.

“Dad, look over there, there’s a house. Let’s check it out!” Little Fourth became excited and rushed over.

Ye Fan, seeing Little Fourth walk so fast, quickly followed her.

Soon, the lighting here started to dim even more.

Ye Fan, fortunately, managed to catch Ye Jie at the last second.

“Ye Jie, don’t walk so fast next time. Although this is man-made, you are still so young. You can’t leave the adults,” Ye Fan said seriously.

He had heard many stories about film locations for horror movies and TV shows where inexplicable things happened, because these places tend to have some unexplainable magnetic fields.

Ye Fan did not want anything to happen to his daughter.

Even if she wasn’t scared, she was still just a child. If anything were to happen… it could be deadly dangerous.

Therefore, Ye Fan hoped that Ye Jie wouldn’t stray too far from him, preferably staying by his side.

That was the only way for Ye Fan to feel truly at ease.

Daughters are very important to him, so there can’t be any mistakes.

Even incidents with no real danger, he doesn’t wish them to happen.

“Understood, Daddy!” Little Fourth answered obediently.

She could hear the worry in her father’s voice.

Although she didn’t know what her father was worrying about, she trusted him and decided to listen to what he said.

“You have to remember it, and do it. While we’re here, try not to let the kids leave your side,” Ye Fan said to Father Ye behind him.

Only after saying this did he realize that there was no response from behind him.

Turning around, he saw that there was no one there at all!

Somehow, it was now just him and Ye Jie.

“Daddy, where are Grandpa and Third Sister?” Little Fourth asked, seemingly surprised.

“They must have gotten separated from us while I was chasing after you. I hope they’re alright. There are staff members all around, so nothing should go wrong,” Ye Fan said, but his expression was very grave.

Having turned in their electronic devices upon entry, they had no means to contact anyone.

Moreover, bringing phones inside would interfere with some magnetic fields linked in a chain, so haunted houses generally do not allow phones. Even the staff members mainly use walkie-talkies or something similar for communication.

Some precautions are better taken.

No one wants unnecessary trouble.

“So, are we going to look for them, or what do we do?” Little Fourth asked Ye Fan, looking at her father.

In any case, she was fine with anything.

She had no opinion.

“Let’s forget it. Let’s move forward. With your grandpa there, there won’t be any problem!” Ye Fan said.

Now, even if they tried to go back and look for them, it would likely be futile, especially since no one wanted to stay in one place for long here.

Plus, they might’ve already been scared and taken out by the staff.

Going back looking for them would be very difficult.

So, it’s better to keep moving forward.

“Okay, let’s continue on then, Daddy. It looks like there’s a house over there. Let’s check it out. We’re going to have to go through the door anyway. We definitely need to take a look!” Little Fourth Ye Jie said, excitement returning to her voice.

“Alright, just be careful and don’t stray too far from me, understand?” Ye Fan said.

Indeed, they needed to make it through Corpse Village to find the way out.

That house might just be the exit. It might seem too simple, but you never know until you try, right?

Besides, it wasn’t far, just about twenty steps or so.

It was worth a look, and Ye Fan became a bit curious.

He felt a small thrill inside.

“Okay, don’t worry!” Ye Jie immediately assured.

“Let’s go!” Ye Fan took Little Fourth Ye Jie’s hand and they walked forward.

When the two of them reached the entrance, they saw several large characters that read ‘Village Chief’s House.’

Unexpectedly, this was the village chief’s house.

This was the place in the story where ghost marriages were held.

They had actually arrived here.

“Daddy, what does it say up there? Can you read it to me?” Ye Jie tugged at Ye Fan’s hand and asked.

“You, girl, you’re so curious even though you can’t read!” Ye Fan laughed.

“Who says I can’t be curious if I can’t read? I’m just very curious, and I’m still young, so I don’t recognize these characters, but I’ll know them when I grow up!” Ye Jie said.

“Yes, yes, you must study hard, understand!” Ye Fan said.

“Don’t worry, Daddy, now tell me, what does it say?” Ye Jie asked.

“It says ‘Village Chief’s House.’ We’re at the entrance to the village chief’s house!” Ye Fan frowned slightly and then explained.

This village chief in the story was a despicable and cunning man.

The deeds he did were disgraceful!

You should know that arranging ghost marriages for the living is a taboo, against the order of nature!

In the past, did such things really exist?

Ye Fan didn’t know, but there’s a saying, ‘There’s no smoke without fire.’

So perhaps, such events really did happen in some ancient villages.

After all, there were young men who died before marrying, and their parents, unable to bear the pain and perhaps in their madness, might have indeed considered such possibilities under extreme circumstances.

“Daddy, should we go in, or not?” Little Fourth looked up at Ye Fan and asked.
