Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chater 1002

Zachary was frightened, and when he looked at the barrel, he did not hesitate to open it! There was still nothing in

it! He felt that it was even scarier; he would rather see something than nothing in it.

“Zachary, let’s go. We’ll search inside.” Lilly dragged him in. Zachary did not want to go, but he still walked with her.

Zachary simply picked up a stick as a weapon. The house was quite big; it had a living room and several rooms

attached to it. And one of the rooms was connected to the kitchen. One of the walls was black as the stove was

near it. Zachary felt uneasy looking at the kitchen. “Should we check it out?” He pointed toward the kitchen. It

seemed like he was losing control of his mouth too. He wanted to escape, but his body seemed braver than his

mind.

Lilly nodded and replied, “Alright.” They held each other’s hands and walked toward it. The living room, the dining

room, and the kitchen were connected next to each other. There was a bed in the room beside the kitchen. The

bed frame was broken and collapsed, but the worn-out mosquito net was still there. It was dirty, as it had been

there for countless years. Lilly glanced in that direction, and Zachary stared at the kitchen. They were getting close

to the kitchen. Part of the house collapsed, so it should be bright with the sunlight. But it was dark in the kitchen.

Zachary wanted to run away, as he was worried that the original iron pot would be located in this kitchen.

Yet he still stepped into the kitchen. Pablo had been making himself invisible. And he felt proud of Zachary for

stepping into the kitchen. That’s about right. And the next moment he saw Zachary scouting with his eyes closed,

he said, “Ah! Shoo! Shoo!” He was swinging the stick in the air!

“Zachary…” Lilly said. He was still yelling, “Ah… Ah! I’ll beat you to death! Shoo!” He simply threw his punches, and

an almost invisible light flashed. And it was very weak… Lilly and Pablo were shocked. Lilly hurriedly grabbed him

and said, “Zachary!” He instantly opened his eyes, and he was blurry. He could get used to the darkness of the

kitchen after closing his eyes for so long. He could clearly see that the stove was empty. And there was a broken

bowl and two bottles of mineral water in the corner. They had no idea who threw them there. There was not even a

ghost around here. Zachary was dumbstruck.

“There… There isn’t any ghost here?” he asked. Lilly said, “Erm, maybe we should search in the other room?” He

was about to cry; it was too scary for him. He had to gather his courage to search in the other room.

Lilly said to him, Zachary, you can do it! You’re the best!” He was cheered up, and he grabbed Lilly’s hand and

walked! He passed by the bedroom linking the living room and kitchen, and he glanced at the worn-out mosquito

net. He did not stare at it for long and went into the living room. “Is anything here?”

“There’s nothing here.”

“This is the last room! There’s nothing here either.” He straight away checked all the other rooms; one of the rooms

on the rooftop collapsed, so it was very bright. The last room was on the left side of the living room; it was dim but

empty.

“Maybe the spirit ran away? With you here, they must be afraid.” He said this and nodded at his own words. Lilly

muttered to him, “Zachary, you still haven’t searched a room.” Zachary was confused. Didn’t I search all four

rooms, the living room, and the kitchen? He froze as he thought of the room connecting to the kitchen! There was

a broken bed in that room, and there was a worn-out mosquito net covering half of the bed.

At that moment, a swollen face popped out from the top of the mosquito net. And it silently looked out in its

direction…
