The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 902: Ice House

When Xie Qiao said that, the ghoul’s face lit up with joy. “You’re really talking to me… I’ve been dead for so long, but this is the first time I’m talking to a living person. This is really great…

“Nice lady, can you burn me a cotton-padded jacket? It’s too cold, so cold that I can’t stand it.” The ghoul hurriedly added, afraid that after a while, Xie Qiao would not be able to hear her voice.

Xie Qiao nodded. “Answer me first. Later, if you have any wishes, I’ll fulfill them for you. If you want to be reincarnated, that’s also possible.”

“Okay! I’ll answer your questions!” The ghoul looked nervous. “You’re asking me how I died, right? “I remember, I remember. It was a very cold winter, but my mother-in-law wanted me to catch a fish to help my husband recover. Early in the morning, I didn’t even have time to put on my cotton-padded jacket before I was chased out. I went to the frozen river to try my luck, but I didn’t know how I fell in.”

It was snowing heavily at that time.

After she fell in, she drowned and froze to death.

Winter would only go away after a long time. Her body floated up, but it was frozen by the ice. It had been too long before she was found.

Xie Qiao expressed her sympathy.

“Do you know any ghouls like you? The kind that are cold and icy?” Xie Qiao asked again.

For some reason, Xiao Yurong felt terrified.

From the beginning, he had felt that the temperature in the room was getting lower and lower.

Even if the weather had turned cold, there would not be such a big difference in one day, would there?

“Master, although Mengjiabao is rich, there are people who freeze to death every winter. It’s just that the number of deaths should be less compared to other cities… There are many ghouls like me,” the ghoul said immediately.

After death, she would take a few more glances at her own kind who also froze to death. She might even make friends with them.

Since the ghoul had lived for so long, there was no living person to talk to. Of course, she would also chat with dead people.

However, some of the ghouls would drift around and forget what they were doing. Therefore, her friends would always change.

Xie Qiao thought about her third junior brother’s situation and thought it was impossible for an ordinary frozen ghoul on the street to affect a person like that.

“Is there any place near Mengjiabao that can freeze a person into… an ice corpse? A place that is colder than the ordinary cold river water during winter,” Xie Qiao thought for a while and asked again.

Xiao Yurong could not sit still. Was his senior sister really talking to a ghoul?!

The ghoul thought for a while and said, “Yes. We ghouls are afraid of the cold, but we are also afraid of the heat. It is okay to go to the stove occasionally to warm ourselves, but in the summer, we feel uncomfortable staying outside all the time. We feel weak all over as if we are going to vanish. Therefore, we often go to an ice house. Some rich families have an ice house in their homes.”

An ice house?

Xie Qiao came to a sudden realization.

In winter, a large amount of ice was stored underground and used in summer. That kind of place could indeed freeze people to death.

She wondered if her third junior brother had been to an ice house before.

“Did anyone freeze to death in the ice house?” Xie Qiao continued to ask.

The ghoul thought very carefully. “Very few. Previously, there was almost a person who froze to death in the ice house, but he came back to life.

“He’s the young master of a rich family. I heard from other ghouls. When that ghoul was enjoying the ice house, he saw with his own eyes that the rich young master went to the ice house to study as it was too hot during summer. However, the door was blocked by someone. He was frozen in there for a very, very long time, and he was already a block of ice. He almost did not survive. It was because the rich family had enough good medicine and good doctors that he managed to survive….”
