“Should we drive the car in?” Butler Yang asked them.

Wang Chong said, “It’s best if we drive in. If we can’t find a place to stay, we can stay in the car.”

Qi Yihan asked, “Is there a gas station in this town?”

“No, ther

Zhao Guangyi guessed, “I think everyone has the same mentality as the boss. After all, this village is cursed. If no one comes to help them, it will soon cease to exist.”

As the two of them were talking, a group of people came in.

The mayor was at the front. He was not tall and was a little fat. There was a mole on the corner of his mouth, and he had a kind smile. After he entered, he glanced at them and said enthusiastically, “I heard that some masters are here. That’s great.”

With that, he walked up to them and said in surprise, “I didn’t expect so many masters to come this time. I believe that with you around, we can definitely remove the curse in our town.”

After saying that, he introduced himself, “My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Tieshu.”

With that, he extended his hand to them and shook their hands. “We’ve always hoped that a master would come to our town to help us. We’ve asked the government for help before, but no one has been able to help us. Some masters have come, but they all said that our situation here is too serious and that they can’t help us.”

He first shook hands with the four masters and Butler Yang before walking up to Qi Yihan and Tang Li. He paused and asked tentatively, “Are the two of you also masters? I didn’t expect masters to be so young now.”

Xu Guanhai was about to speak when Tang Li smiled and said, “My husband, Brother Yang, and I are here to look for someone.” As she spoke, she pointed at Butler Yang.

When the village mayor heard that they were not masters, his smile faded, but he still said enthusiastically, “Welcome, welcome. We haven’t had visitors in our town in such a long time.”

With that, he looked at the four masters and was obviously more enthusiastic towards them.

When the four masters saw that Tang Li refused to admit that she was also a master, although they were a little surprised, no one said anything.

The few of them chatted casually with the village mayor. Xu Guanhai asked what was going on in this town, but the village mayor did not answer immediately. Instead, he said, “Why don’t the four masters stay at my house? I’ll tell you everything in detail.”

With that, he said to the hotel owner, “Qian San, get rooms for these three visitors.”

The boss quickly agreed.

The four masters glanced at Tang Li without batting an eyelid.

Tang Li nodded at them and they followed the mayor out.

The hotel owner obviously wanted to go with the mayor too. He took out a bunch of keys from the drawer at the counter and said to them, “Go out and walk to the right. When you reach the first intersection, turn in and walk out of that alley. The second house on the left is my brother’s house. They don’t have anyone left in their house. You can stay there. If you don’t dare to stay there, I’ll get you two rooms here.”

Qi Yihan asked, “Sure. How much for a day?”

The boss thought for a moment and said, “That house has been abandoned for more than a year. If you don’t mind cleaning it yourself, I’ll charge you a low price of fifty yuan a day.”

“Sure, is there any store in town where we can buy blankets and mattresses?”

“Yes, every ten days, merchants will come to the other side of the river to do business with us, so we have all the daily necessities.”

“Great.”

“If you need any help, you can come straight to the store and ask me.”

Since the boss was in such a hurry to follow the mayor, Tang Li and the others did not keep him any longer. They took the key and left.

The moment they went out, they heard the sound of a door being locked and footsteps walking in the other direction.

Butler Yang deliberately turned around to take a look.

After the hotel owner was gone, Butler Yang asked Tang Li, “Madam, why didn’t you go with the other four masters?”

“This town is a little strange. I want to observe it in private.”

Qi Yihan and Butler Yang had no objections.

The three of them quickly arrived at the house the boss mentioned.

They opened the door with the key and entered. The house was built on two floors. The first floor had a hall, a side hall, and a kitchen.

The three of them walked around the first floor. The furniture was complete, but the bedding was unusable.

Qi Yihan said to Butler Yang, “Go buy some daily necessities. You don’t have to buy the bedding for me and Li.”

After returning from the Changbai Mountain, Tang Li prepared their bedding and clothes in the bag.

Butler Yang thought that the two of them would buy it later, so he nodded and left.

After Butler Yang left, Tang Li said to Qi Yihan, “This family left a trace of resentment after they died. I’ll ask them tonight.”

Qi Yihan nodded and looked around. “We have to clean this room properly.”

“That’s easy.” After saying that, Tang Li took out a talisman and threw it into the air. After a while, the entire room was spotless.

Tang Li smiled at Qi Yihan and said, “Many talismans in our line of work can be used in daily life. It can save a lot of time.”

Qi Yihan smiled and asked, “Is this talisman called a cleaning talisman?”

“Exactly.”

Tang Li took out the bed sheets and blanket from the bag.

Qi Yihan went over to make the bed. Tang Li said, “The masters should be able to ask about what happened to this town in the past.”

With that, she walked to the window and opened it.

Unexpectedly, there was a pond behind the house.

There was nothing in the pond though, and the water was still a little muddy. The pond was also surrounded by reeds and some unknown white flowers.

Tang Li looked at the pond for a while before turning to Qi Yihan. “Yihan, come.”

Qi Yihan walked over and stood beside her.

Tang Li pointed at the pond. “When you came in, did you notice the pond elsewhere?”

Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said, “All the ponds are very muddy.”

“Exactly.”

“Is there something unclean hiding in the pond?”
