Chapter 9: Not at Home

Chapter 9 Not at Home In the end, the whole family couldn't resist Ran Ran and agreed that she should go to Jiang Yali first, but Mr. Shen specifically asked Shen Dinghai to go with her. "Why should I go? It must be very dangerous for my cousin to catch ghosts!" After having a ghost experience, Shen Dinghai shrank in fear. Mr. Shen had a look of hatred on his face, "It's just because of the danger that I let you go with me! I don't know what will happen when the time comes. Please protect Ran Ran!" Shen Dinghai said aggrievedly: "When my cousin fights with ghosts, it's my turn to protect him. It's good if I don't hold him back." "Who asked you to rush ahead at that moment?" "I'm talking about when dealing with people. That Jiang Yali has evil intentions and deep scheming intentions. Do you still expect Ran Ran, a little kid, to fight against her?" "Then shouldn't the eldest brother go? Jiang Yali likes the eldest brother. When we meet, she is a head shorter. What a great advantage. Why is it my turn?" Shen Dinghai struggled, his reluctance written directly on his face. "Go to Dingchuan and take care of the group's affairs for him!" Mr. Shen stroked his beard wildly to keep calm.

"Although you have not taken over the group's affairs, you have met a lot of people with your eldest brother since you were a child, and you have a good understanding of people's hearts. At the same time, you are also the most laid-back person in the family. Of course you have to go on this trip." Shen Dinghai muttered, "I'll go if you want me to. Why are you attacking me personally? I'm not free at all!" Mr. Shen slapped Shen Dinghai on the shoulder, "Okay, just go if you are told. There is so much nonsense!" Although Shen Dinghai was reluctant to follow his father's instructions, he had no other choice. He took Ran Ran, who was waiting obediently aside. "I'd like to ask my cousin to take more care of my nephew on this trip." Ran Ran nodded heavily, "I will definitely do it! Don't be afraid, second nephew, Ran Ran will protect you!" "Dinghai, protect Ran Ran!" Mr. Shen grabbed the crutch in his hand and added, "Pay attention to safety." The whole family left the villa under the watchful eyes of the Shen family. When they passed through the banquet hall in the front yard, the atmosphere was still lively. "Young Master Shen's little girlfriend is being held by Second Young Master Shen." "It is said that this is not a master who likes children. He has held hands. He must have passed through Mr. Shen's side." "If there are no big mistakes, then this is the future granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family! Whose child is this? Why haven't I seen it before? The clothes she wears are weird." All the whispers from the crowd reached Ran Ran’s little ears. She frowned and couldn't understand why everyone believed in this conjecture so persistently. Ran Ran's bitter look didn't ease until she got into the car. As soon as she got in the car, she opened her eyes wide and looked around, curious about everything in the car. Shen Dinghai pulled up the chat history and reported the address to the driver. Only after he finished speaking did he notice Ran Ran's strange appearance. "Does my cousin like cars very much?" Ran Ran nodded and shook her head, "I can't say I like it very much, because there are no cars on the mountain. This is Ran Ran's second close encounter." "A big iron block with four wheels can run very fast, it's awesome!" Shen Dinghai couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of place was on the mountain? Why did Ran Ran seem like he had never been exposed to modern technology.

He took out his cell phone and waved it in front of Ran Ran like a show off, "Then you must have never seen this cousin before. Even though she is small, she is even better than a car!" Ran Ran tilted her little head, as if she didn't understand what Shen Dinghai said. Shen Dinghai was secretly proud, so what if the ghost catching master was fooled by him? As a result, Ran Ran took out an object from the small cloth bag in the next second. A brand-new mobile phone of the latest model of a certain brand has just been launched, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. "My parents both have mobile phones, and they gave one to Ranran before going down the mountain." Shen Dinghai's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that his mobile phone was not enough. He put it away angrily, "Cousin, your family's technological level is really high and low." Seeing the disappointment of the second nephew, Ran Ran poked his big hand, "Although Ran Ran has a mobile phone, she doesn't know how to use it. Can the second nephew teach Ran Ran?" "Of course!" After receiving the admiring look from Ran Ran, Shen Dinghai became elated again. Ran Ran quietly looked at the real joy in Shen Dinghai's eyes, and couldn't help but think in her little head: The second nephew seems to be a junior who needs praise very much. Little stars twinkle in your eyes when you are praised, it’s so nice! She must praise her second nephew more in the future! Facts have proved that under any circumstances, do not let a person who has never been in a car look at a mobile phone in the car, even if she is a highly skilled master. There was another "Woo" sound, and Ran Ran couldn't help the nauseating feeling in her chest. She squatted down into a small spot and vomited in the flower bed. She had been traveling down the mountain for the past few days and had not eaten much. All she vomited was water. Ranran felt dizzy, and her little face turned pale from vomiting. Shen Dinghai was so worried that his eyebrows were knotted, "Just say I shouldn't have come! I've never taken care of a child before!" He looked at the small flower bed worriedly. "A generation of master ghost hunters won't die here just because I took her in a car!" After a long time, Ran Ran finally staggered out of the small flower bed, comforting Shen Dinghai while walking back. "Don't be afraid, second nephew, Ran Ran is doing very well now." "Ancestor! Don't leave! I'm afraid you'll be dizzy and knocking!" Shen Dinghai picked up Ran Ran and led her to walk quickly, "I'd better hold you!" If holding someone by the waist is called hugging, then Shen Dinghai is really good at "hugging" children. Although not recommended, this method is very effective. The destination that originally took a long time to reach with Ran Ran's short legs appeared in their field of vision not long after. Ran Ran raised her little head and smiled at Shen Dinghai, "The second nephew is so awesome! He walks as if he has a light body charm on him!" Shen Dinghai smiled proudly, "Are you kidding! As an artist, your second nephew and I, the iron I lift to stay in shape is much heavier than your little carrot head!" The smile on his face didn't last long before disappearing without a trace, and then he asked a soul question. "Don't you feel cautious when Jiang Yali usually lives in a place like this?" An old residential building stood in front of the two of them, like the preferred location for the protagonist group in a horror movie to go on a death-defying adventure. There was a thick mist that could not be dissolved all around, and a few dim lights were vaguely visible, like the pupils of a giant beast ready to move. The windows on most floors are dilapidated, stuck together with rotten wood that is caught on rusty nails and creaks when the wind blows.

In this ghostly place, not a single human voice could be heard, only a whole wall of ivy growing crazily. Shen Dinghai swallowed hard and said, "Cousin, why don't we go back? I feel like Jiang Yali is not at home." (End of this chapter)
