My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 273 Nothing

" Vanished?" Song Yan mused as she looked at Mo Jingzhi, the latter was looking around nervously as if she was worried that someone might hear her if she was to say it a bit louder. Leaning in close to Song Yan, Mo Jingzhi nodded as she said, " The young miss sister-in-law went to look for her in the middle of the night, I don't remember much about that time but I do know that the sister in law of that young miss from the Wu family said that she heard something fall on the ground and went to check what it was only to find that the young miss wasn't in her room."

With a sip of her tea to soak her dry mouth, Mo Jingzhi tried to remember everything that happened that night, her brows scrunched up lightly as she looked at the tall mountain on the left. " After that, I believe that Wu Genji's sister-in-law made a loud ruckus in the village, she called the Wu family and even ran around the village to wake the villagers up one by one, and the entire village and the Wu family's guards went to look for that young miss but no one found her, it was as if she vanished in the air. No one could find her but then someone in the village suggested checking the mountain, they said that at the night they will hear some sort of whispers coming from the tomb that called to them."

After she told about the whispers to Song Yan, Mo Jingzhi shivered and clutched the rabbit foot that she was wearing around her neck. " The villagers said that those whispers called to them and they would sometimes get out of the bed as if wanting to go somewhere only to be stopped by the ropes and strings that they tie around their ankles. Of course, the Wu family all called it nothing but feudal superstitions and completely disregarded what the villagers said but given that the mountain was the only place where no one has looked for their daughter, the Wu family couple agreed to send their guards to the mountain but their family guards were young people from the city when have they seen a mountain terrain? They immediately asked for someone from the village to guide them. After the underground tomb was excavated no one from the village went up the mountain, so a lot of villagers refused at once but then the Wu family offered money and the landlord of the village along with some greedy villagers agreed."

She raised her head and looked at Song Yan with a flick of her tongue on her bottom lip. " My father was one of those greedy villages, he wanted to earn those two thousand yuan the Wu family was offering and wanted to rent a house in the city, he believed that he would be able to make a big turnaround if he was to get that money but my grandmother refused, she firmly believed that there was something up in the mountain and that us going up there would only make it stronger. She told my father that if he ever went up the mountain that she will take me away and live in a separate hut then him, my father didn't listen to her and went up the mountain with the guards of the Wu family along with some villagers. They all spread around the entire mountain and my father found the young miss of the Wu family, she was lying unconscious right in front of the door of the underground tomb, many villagers who believed in the whispers of the tomb were not surprised by it. In fact, they seemed to have expected it but what surprised everyone was that the miss from the Wu family had her legs facing the door of the tomb."

If Wu Genji fell unconscious with her face facing the doors of the tomb then it would have meant that she fell unconscious before going inside the tomb but if her legs were facing the doors then, " She went inside that place."

" That's what everyone thought," said Mi Jingzhi with a nod. " There were a lot of villagers and they all witnessed it but the Wu family simply paid everyone another round of hundred yuan and asked us to keep this a secret. They said that their daughter was born curious by nature and must have wandered inside the tomb out of curiosity, they even threatened some of us saying that they don't want any sort of rumours floating about their daughter in the future."

Mo Jingzhi placed the teacup down on the table and wiped her lips with the back of her hand. " So no one dared to say anything about their daughter and because nothing happened after that girl was brought down, everyone else dropped their guards but after a month my father went missing."

She clutched the warm tea cup in front of her and sniffed lightly before continuing, " He was still upset with what my grandmother said but he loved my mother and me a lot, so he stayed in the village after renting a house with someone after my grandmother kicked him out. He didn't believe in those feudal superstitions and said that my grandmother was being petty just because he didn't listen to her but after the Wu family's daughter came down the mountain, my father went to harvest vegetables from the farming fields but he never came back."

Mo Jingzhi's voice got softer and softer while tears started to stream down her cheeks, seeing this Song Yan took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her.

" Thank you," said Mo Jingzhi in a slightly hoarse voice, Song Yan gave her the time to collect herself instead of urging her to continue speaking as a helpless daughter she understood the feelings of Mo Jingzhi. Mo Jingzhi cried for a few minutes before she sniffed and cleared her throat as she said, " No one knows where he went many villagers saw him going to the fields but no one saw him return, the only thing that was left behind was a pile of clothes."
