"You said, could it be that the old woman used some sorcery to destroy the corpse?"

"I think it's very possible. Otherwise, how could the police not even find the body?"

The more people talked, the more mysterious it became. The homestay in front of them seemed to be a haunted house.

Huangfu Liyue felt bored and quietly walked out of the crowd.

At the door of the hotel, Cheng Cui kowtowed melon seeds, staring straight at the hotel in front of her.

Seeing the seal at the door of the homestay, she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, as if she was in control.

Seeing Huangfu Liyue walking out of the crowd, she put away her gloating face and went up to meet her.

"Oh, girl, how many times have I told you that you are pregnant, don't go near that old woman's house, it's not clean, it's very cloudy, it's not good for the fetus in your stomach."

Cheng Cui dragged her into the house, fearing that something might happen to her and the child.

Huangfu Liyue was used to her enthusiasm, and replied with a smile: "Aunt Cheng, I understand."

Cheng Cui looked at her belly, her eyes narrowed.

"Look, the belly is getting more and more pointed, and I just said, this must be a boy."

"Aunt Cheng, the baby hasn't landed yet, how can one guess whether it's a boy or a girl? Your statement is unscientific."

"Who says it's unscientific?"

Cheng Cui immediately denied her statement, leaned closer to her, and said happily: "I lived with a pregnant woman before, and her belly was round. As expected, there is a loser inside!"

"A pregnant woman who lived here before?"

Huangfu Liyue naturally thought of those missing passengers.

Cheng Cui realized that her mouth was too fast, and immediately explained with a smile: "I mean, a pregnant woman who came to live with me a long time ago."

"I see."

Huangfu Liyue didn't think much about it, but the word "losing money" made her very uncomfortable.

"Auntie Cheng, regardless of gender, is a godsend to parents. It's not appropriate to describe it as a loser. Besides, we are all women, so we shouldn't say such things."

Cheng Cui could hear the dissatisfaction in her words, and smiled perfunctorily: "That's right, it's Auntie who is quick to talk."

Before speaking, Cheng Cui's eyes never left Huangfu Liyue's stomach.

"By the way, girl, how long do you plan to live here?"

"We haven't decided yet, Aunt Cheng, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing. It doesn't matter if you are getting older. I just thought that if you plan to stay here until you give birth, I can arrange a midwife for you in advance."

Cheng Cui's words were all about concern, but it made Huangfu Liyue feel a burden.

Cheng Cui was harsh to her daughter-in-law, but treated her so meticulously. If she didn't know it, she would have thought she was still the daughter-in-law of the Tian family.

"Thank you, Aunt Cheng, for your trouble, but we shouldn't stay that long."

Cheng Cui hurriedly asked: "Why, are you leaving?"

Huangfu Liyue felt a little strange when she saw the tightness of her question, so she just said casually: "Maybe, we were originally here to travel, and we didn't plan to stay for a long time."

Cheng Cui's face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Then you should relax and relax while you're here with Auntie. If you need something, don't be polite to Auntie."

"Thank you, Aunt Cheng."

Huangfu Liyue felt a little uncomfortable being watched by her, so she smiled at her and went upstairs directly.

As she left, the smile on Cheng Cui's face gradually faded.

"mom!"

Wu Guixiang walked in from the outside: "The homestay of the old lady next door has been closed, and it is rumored that the old lady's actions have harmed those tourists. Is this true or not?"

Cheng Cui gave her an angry look.

"What do you care about so much, have you washed the dishes in the kitchen?"

"It's been washed long ago."

Wu Guixiang walked up to her and continued, "Mom, I didn't mean to be nosy. I just saw the photos of the missing passengers posted outside. I remember that they seemed to have stayed here..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Cheng Cui gave her a pinch: "I think you've lost your mind, and you're messing around all day long. There are so many people who come to live here every month, who else can you remember?"

Wu Guixiang was in pain, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I really have the impression that one of them is pregnant and..."

"I think you've really lost your mind. Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook. If you let me hear these crazy words again, I'll break your leg!"

Seeing her go crazy, Wu Guixiang didn't dare to say a word, she shrank her neck and went to the direction of the kitchen.

At this moment, Huangfu Liyue was standing in an inconspicuous corner of the second floor.

She listened to the conversation between the two just now.

Back in the room, she told Mu Jingchen what she had just listened to.

"Jingchen, according to Aunt Cheng's daughter-in-law, the missing passenger not only lived in the old lady's homestay, but also lived here. Moreover, Aunt Cheng was a little excited when she heard what she said, and specially warned her not to mention it again. .”

After hearing her finish, Mu Jingchen asked, "Do you still remember how we lived here?"

She nodded, her memory was very clear.

On that night more than a month ago, Cheng Cui wandered out in the middle of the night and told them that the homestay was haunted, whether on purpose or not.

Afterwards, they felt that the old woman was behaving strangely, and after careful consideration, they left the homestay. When they were about to find another place to live, they met Cheng Cui again.

Cheng Cui persuaded them to live here on the grounds that other residences were too far away.

Looking back, Cheng Cui's appearance that night may not have been a coincidence.

"Are you suspicious that she lured us here on purpose?"

"It's not impossible."

Mu Jingchen stepped forward and closed the door, and continued: "Besides, don't you realize that she treats you very differently?"

"I found it, but didn't I tell you before, she said that when she saw me, she thought of her daughter who died young."

Mu Jingchen shook his head and denied the reason.

"I have observed that Aunt Cheng's daughter-in-law is about the same age as you. If she can't help but miss her lost daughter when she sees a young woman, why does she treat her daughter-in-law so badly?"

"Maybe... I look a little like her lost daughter, but her daughter-in-law doesn't look alike?"

She made a bold guess, so as not to misunderstand the good people.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Although he thought the chances were very small, his inner thoughts were the same as hers, and he couldn't jump to a conclusion without solid evidence.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful."

Mu Jingchen thought about it, and finally suggested: "How about I take you to live somewhere else first?"

She looked down at her belly, nodded and said, "Okay, let's move to another place first."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "boom" at the door.

Not loud, but clear enough.

The two looked at the door at the same time.

"Who?"

There were hurried footsteps at the door, and they were getting further and further away.

Mu Jingchen's eyes froze, he opened the door and chased him out.
