1788 The Old Liang Family Residence (6)

“By the way, Sister-in-law, Wang Xuewen hasn’t given up on wanting to be your disciple.” As he spoke, Qi Hao took out a large stack of talismans from his pocket, which looked like scrap paper. Chi Shuyan took a few glances and confirmed that she really hadn’t drawn these talismans; hers definitely wouldn’t contain this little spiritual energy. If these talismans had really been drawn by Wang Xuewen, Chi Shuyan felt that he had improved a little in drawing talismans, but he couldn’t be considered talented. This was also the reason why she hadn’t agreed to take Wang Xuewen in as her disciple.

Wang Xuewen worked hard and was interested enough in this area. Unfortunately, talent was sometimes just that important.

Chi Shuyan thought this in her heart, but that didn’t stop her from giving encouragement. “Not bad, he has improved. Have him work harder. But, Haozi, don’t you think the price of these talismans is too high?”

The two young men just now had probably treated this kid as a swindler, but they didn’t lack money, so spending this small bit didn’t matter to them; if it were any other time, this kid could only dream of relying on these talismans to make money.

Qi Hao, on the other hand, didn’t understand what his sister-in-law was getting at, and immediately said smugly, “Right? Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Xuewen, that rascal, is especially talented at drawing talismans. The two of us already worked it out: He’ll be in charge of drawing the talismans, and I’ll be in charge of selling them. We’ll split the profits 50-50.”

Seeing how smug this kid was, as if he had never seen money before, Chi Shuyan wanted to laugh. She nodded and encouraged, “Then work hard to sell them and make more money in the future.”

Qi Hao immediately nodded.

Chi Shuyan changed the subject. “Where did you go in the afternoon? Why did you only come back now? How did you get to know those two boys?”

At the mention of this, Qi Hao was also quite excited and immediately recounted how he got to know the two of them. It turned out that he had nothing to do in the afternoon and wandered around. At 3pm, pretty much most of the production team had left. He had nothing to do, and ran into a group of people.

It was Zhou Chengfei, Xiao Ying, Yun Yiyi and Du Zhong. He took the initiative to greet the four of them, but he didn’t expect them to completely ignore him. They behaved completely differently from when Film Empress Song was around. He couldn’t sell his talismans even if he wanted to, and was even mocked a little.

He felt that if it wasn’t for the fact that there were cameras on, their attitudes would have been even more arrogant and their words would have been even worse.

Still, he didn’t want to cause trouble for his sister-in-law, so Qi Hao didn’t bicker with the four of them.

After passing the four of them, he went to the market outside the lane and happened to run into ‘familiar’ faces: Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen.

In fact, he didn’t know their names at first. After all, they had only met once, and Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen didn’t know him at all.

Qi Hao was a friendly person by nature and easy to talk to. Whenever he was bored, he would take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen were quite wary of him at first, but later found out that he was also on this variety show. Although he was just a junior assistant, the two of them had good personalities, so the three of them started to get to know each other.

When everyone became familiar with each other, Qi Hao immediately seized the opportunity to do business, which was what Chi Shuyan had witnessed earlier. Compared with the four people from before, Qi Hao had a good impression of these two. Later on, he thought about how he had indeed come across as a bit of a scammer.

After all, how could Wang Xuewen compare with Sister-in-law? He even sold the talismans for 50,000 yuan, which was more expensive than what his sister-in-law sold hers for. Qi Hao suddenly felt a little guilty.

But to him, friends were the type to dig pits for each other.

Speaking of which, apart from Film Empress Song, Qi Hao had the best impression of these two young men as well as the Lu girl. He decided to recommend Wang Xuewen’s talismans to that Lu girl tonight.

“Sister-in-law, is it okay if I give each of them your Exorcism Talisman later?” Pricked by his conscience, Qi Hao scratched the back of his head.

“That’s great! Sister-in-law, right, Sister-in-law, why do I feel like something’s wrong here? I can’t say exactly what it is. In short, I don’t like this place. I always feel that it’s a little creepy. It’s a bit like the burial mounds which we went to. When we entered the cave back then, I felt a chill run down my back. It’s the same here, especially at night. Sister-in-law, it’s still sunny outside the lane at 3pm or 4pm, but it’s almost like it’s night here at around the same time. Apart from the sound of birds, there’s no other noise at all. It’s really scary. No wonder the production team wants to film the horror variety show here!” Qi Hao said.

“Mm, there’s indeed something wrong with this place. It’s best not to go out at night. Remember, unless it’s a special situation, don’t go out after 6pm in the future. Stay in your room and don’t leave this building at night!” Chi Shuyan instructed.

Qi Hao didn’t think much of it at first, but when he heard his sister-in-law say that something really wasn’t right, his heart immediately thumped. In fact, before coming to this place, he had searched online and found that it was indeed a little scary. However, he thought that it was just rumors. When the middle-aged aunt tried to persuade them before, he didn’t believe her much. Now that his sister-in-law had spoken, however, Qi Hao had no choice but to be cautious. His heart inexplicably thumped, as if a hammer was pounding on it, and it dropped in his chest.

“Sister-in-law, are you serious? Is there really… something wrong with this place?” As soon as he said that, a cold wind blew in from the hallway outside the window, and Qi Hao immediately got goosebumps on his back. The only thing he was glad about now was that he was sharing a room with his sister-in-law. No matter how scared he was, he still felt safe. His sister-in-law was very capable.

“Okay, come inside first. We’ll talk inside!” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and looked at the dark and gloomy sky outside. Her expression darkened!

“No, Sister-in-law, can I pass on your words to those two young men just now? They’re right opposite us. I think they’re quite good people!” Qi Hao trusted his sister-in-law especially and couldn’t help but ask the question.

“Up to you. Come back early. Remember to wear the jade pendant that I gave you around your neck for the next few days! Don’t drop it!”

“Oh!”
