The female ghost slipped into the car with him. She had probably never seen a car before. Once inside, she looked all around, her curiosity palpable. She couldn't sit still, one moment zipping into the trunk, the next appearing in the engine compartment. It seemed she wanted to figure out how this car could move so fast without a horse pulling it.
In the end, having figured nothing out, the female ghost simply sat on the dashboard, watching the driver with rapt attention.
Zhao Yuan was exasperated by the ghost's antics. 'Good thing the driver can't see her,' he thought. 'Otherwise, he'd either have a heart attack from the fright or get into an accident because of the distraction.'
The driver, blissfully unaware of any of this, drove steadily. About forty or fifty minutes later, they entered Yanghua Town.
