The key point is that this is also too empty.
The carved dragons and painted beams in the courtyard looked quite exquisite, but all the rooms were bare, which created a very strange sense of incongruity.
The squeaking sound of cleaning echoed continuously, each echo like a hammer blow striking Zhang Qianwen's heart.
She swallowed hard, then looked at Li Guogang and Wang Hongmei, who had almost finished cleaning.
The thought that the two of them were leaving made her feel even more afraid.
"Um... Hongmei, I didn't speak properly just now."
"I apologize to you, could you stay and keep me company?"
"Such a big house, it would be a waste for me to live in it all by myself!"
"Here's your wages, thank you for your help. Hongmei, here's another dollar, will you stay and keep me company for a month?"
Although Zhang Qianwen had a bit of a spoiled princess attitude before, she also understood the saying that money can make the devil dance. She felt that if she stayed here alone tonight, she would probably be scared to death...
It would be better to find someone to go with me, but the two of them seem a bit scary. What should I do?
In fact, Wang Hongmei was also a little scared. Even though the sun was still blazing, the courtyard had a somewhat eerie feeling, as if many eyes were watching her.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.
After all, we can't talk about feudal superstition now. If we do, we'll be labeled as bad elements, which is no different from courting death.
But she couldn't say these things; she could only say to Zhang Qianwen:
“Zhang Zhiqing, my things are still at the educated youth settlement. I can’t just leave them there.”
"Besides, I need to reserve a spot on the kang (heated brick bed) over there, so I won't stay."
“Hey, Zhang Zhiqing, if you’re scared, why don’t you go back? There are lots of people and it’s lively over there.”
"This place... is really... too desolate, I feel a little uneasy living here."
"Besides, I'm not the same as Luo Zhiqing. She's capable and resourceful, while I'm just an ordinary girl. I can't compare to her."
Wang Hongmei didn't say it very clearly, but her meaning was obvious: she was also afraid that there was something unclean in the house.
