After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 140 Late Night Water Ghost

Huang Shaohua watched the two figures disappear on the street in front of the door before turning around and returning to his mansion. He thought the matter was over, but when he went to bed at night, he strangely started dreaming after not having dreamed for a long time.

However, the scene in the dream was something he had never imagined. The person who appeared also frightened Huang Shaohua. That person was none other than Xu Yingying, who was quite close to Huang Shaohua during the day.

Xu Yingying had red lips and white teeth. Although she was wearing men's clothes, in his dream, Huang Shaohua only felt that Xu Yingying was extremely beautiful.

Yes, she was gorgeous. Huang Shaohua didn’t know why he thought so, but that was his first reaction when he saw Xu Yingying.

In the dream, from Huang Shaohua's perspective, Xu Yingying walked towards him with a smile on her face, and what happened next was not suitable for children.

It was not even dawn yet when Huang Shaohua woke up from his dream. He was covered in sweat and seemed to be still immersed in the dream.

After a long time, Huang Shaohua slowly came back to his senses. Thinking of the absurd things in his dream, his face turned blue and red. He didn't understand why he dreamed of doing such a thing with Xu Yingying.

"Mr. Xu is obviously a man, how could I be like this..." Huang Shaohua murmured. He couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had a homosexual tendency and that was why he fell in love with Xu Yingying.

Huang Shaohua was very conflicted, but Xu Yingying was completely unaware of the situation.

At night, she slept soundly, but it was fine at the beginning. In the second half of the night, Xu Yingying felt very cold around her. She thought it was because her quilt was not covered properly, so she closed her eyes and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, then turned over and fell asleep again.

But this time, she did not sleep well, and even felt a little tired, because she still felt very cold around her. The more Xu Yingying thought about that cold, the more she felt that something was wrong.

This feeling is not ordinary coldness, it is more like... the coldness caused by ghosts.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying suddenly opened her eyes and met the gaze of the female ghost beside the bed.

Xu Yingying's pupils suddenly shrank.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared, otherwise, the roof of the mansion would have been pierced by her scream.

Just imagine, anyone who is sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, when he opens his eyes, is faced with a disfigured face. If Xu Yingying did not faint on the spot, it would be considered that she has a strong psychological endurance.

After calming herself down, Xu Yingying carefully observed the person in front of her, oh no, the ghost.

Her body was wet and she looked like she had just crawled out from the bottom of the lake. Xu Yingying guessed that this ghost was most likely a female water ghost.

Seeing Xu Yingying staring at her, the female ghost looked innocent. She just looked at Xu Yingying and didn't do anything.

"Um, who are you? Are you a water ghost?"

Xu Yingying couldn't believe it. There didn't seem to be any deep water like lakes around Jun County, so where did the water ghost come from? What's more, the fruit seemed to have been dead for a long time, so why did it find her now?

The water ghost nodded repeatedly, "My lord, you can see this. I came here this time to ask you to help me. I died unjustly. I hope you can help me redress my injustice."

Faced with the water ghost's request, Xu Yingying did not agree, "As far as I know, there seems to be no lake in Jun County. Who are you?" Xu Yingying's face changed and she became very serious.

The water ghost was startled. She never expected Xu Yingying to turn against her so suddenly. She felt a little aggrieved, but she also knew that her origins were indeed easy to arouse suspicion.

"Sir, don't be angry. Please listen to me. My name is Chen Xiaoyu. The story of your salvation of tens of thousands of souls in the cave a few days ago has spread all over Jun County and several surrounding counties. I also heard about this, so I rushed here from the next county."

Xu Yingying nodded in understanding. There was indeed a county not far from Jun County, and it was even closer to the cave, so it was normal to hear about this incident. There was indeed a lake in that city, and it was said to be quite deep enough to drown a person.

"You just said that you died unjustly. Why do you say that? Do you still remember it?" Xu Yingying thought of what Chen Xiaoyu had just said, and she was a little curious.

Talking about the cause of her death, Chen Xiaoyu was a little sad, but more angry. "I had just reached the age of 15 when I died. Before I could have the 15-year-old ceremony, I was framed. The person tied me up and threw me into the lake. I can swim, but my hands and feet were tied that day and I couldn't escape."

"I was drowned in the water, but after I died I did not go to the underworld. Instead, I stayed by the lake. I don't know why, but at first I couldn't leave the lake and could only move around nearby. But as my abilities grew stronger, I was able to leave that place and seek help from adults."

After listening to Chen Xiaoyu's description, Xu Yingying had a rough guess. Combined with her current situation, what Chen Xiaoyu said was probably true, but she still didn't want to agree to Chen Xiaoyu's request.

The reason was simple. The previous events had exhausted her too much and she needed time to recuperate. Moreover, Chen Xiaoyu's accident happened in the neighboring county. If the county magistrate did not cooperate, Xu Yingying would have no way to deal with it and it would alert the enemy instead.

"Sir, please help me, I just want to catch the person who killed me, sir..."

Maybe it was because Chen Xiaoyu was still young when she died, she could actually do such a coquettish thing. It seems that she was a child who was brought up and loved by her family when she was alive.

Xu Yingying sighed slightly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't know much about your situation. How can I help you find the murderer? Besides, do you know where your body is now? I know you have a lot of resentment, but..."

When Chen Xiaoyu saw Xu Yingying's refusal, she was not surprised at all. She just hugged Xu Yingying's thigh, as if she would not let go until she agreed.

As Chen Xiaoyu was a water lover, her surroundings and even her body must have been very wet. The leg of Xu Yingying that she was holding was soaked by her underwear, which stuck wetly to Xu Yingying's leg.

The veins on Xu Yingying's forehead were throbbing. Not only was she woken up by a ghost while she was sleeping, but now she even had to change her clothes. She was almost furious.

"Unbutton my clothes first." Xu Yingying suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke to Chen Xiaoyu in a kind voice.

"Sir, just promise me. I promise that as long as you help me find who killed me, I will never bother you again."

After all, it was just a child's temper. Xu Yingying had no choice but to nod unhappily, "Forget it, since you are so pitiful, I will help you this time."

Hearing Xu Yingying's agreement, Chen Xiaoyu was very happy. When she wanted to get close to Xu Yingying, she was stopped by Xu Yingying, "It's still early now. I want to go to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me."

Chen Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, and the next second, she disappeared from the spot, leaving only obvious water marks where she had been.
