Zhou city.
When Fangzheng entered the fake bookstore of "selling dog meat", he had already learned the basic situation during his absence.
Zuo Qianhu's shop.
Zuo Qianhu was not there.
Just like the gates of Mingdian and Jade Shop have been closed, Mr. Fu and Yan Chixia are not in the old street.
At this time, Fangzheng finally knew.
Butcher Zhang has never returned to Zhou City since he went to Zhan City to take charge of the overall situation and was responsible for searching and hunting the old evil spirits of the previous generation.
Even Mr. Fu, Yan Chixia, and Dujiaotou all went to the city one after another, but there was no news of them.
These days, only Zuo Qianhu has been guarding Zhou City.
Just before Fangzheng came to the old street, even Zuo Qianhu had just left Zhou City and went to Zou City to find clues about the disappearance of several people.
At the same time, Fangzheng also knew why Yiyi never talked about these things with him in the video call. It was Zuo Qianhu who asked Yiyi not to tell Fangzheng, because he didn't want Fangzheng to be distracted abroad.
As for why Chuanpu sheep appeared in Zhou City.
When Chuan Puyang mentioned this, an anthropomorphic expression appeared on his face.
"Sheep boy, the last time I was in the blessed land, my old sheep suffered a lot and healed for about a month before finally recovering from his injuries. I didn't go out for a whole month, which made my old sheep feel bad. My old sheep thought that he must give back the lost month of freedom to play, my old sheep just stopped by the vicinity of Zhou City, and I thought I would stop by to visit relatives, to see you, the shepherd boy, and to see my little niece by the way."
According to what Chuan Pu Yang said, when it first came to Zhou City, it saw Yi Yi sweeping the street. Before this irritable goat understood the situation, it raised its hooves and pointed at Zuo Qianhu on the back of his head. Sneak attack.
As for the subsequent battle situation, Chuan Puyang did not tell Fang Zheng.
But Fangzheng watched Chuanpuyang stay in Zuoqianhu shop obediently, and knew the final result without thinking about it.
Later, Chuan Puyang realized that all this was a misunderstanding, and Yiyi would voluntarily sweep the fallen leaves in front of Mingdian and jade shops every day in order to wait for Mr. Laifu and Yan Chixia.
Waiting for Mr. Fu and the others to return.
That's why, when Fangzheng came to the old street just now, he saw Yiyi holding a broom that didn't match his figure, sweeping fallen leaves in front of Mingdian.
Seeing that Yiyi is so sensible, Chuan Puyang, as an elder, naturally can't be lazy in front of children.
So there was a bucket hanging on one horn and a rag hanging on the other horn to clean Zuoqianhu's store and set an example in front of the children.
"Sheep boy, although you have a strange appearance, a failed image, a bit of a ghost and a short-lived ghost, but my old sheep found that your progress in realm is as fast as a Japanese electric fan!"
"Mom, a month ago, you punched my old sheep with your fist, and even the mosquito bite was light. I haven't seen you for a month, and you punched my old sheep with your fist, barely reaching the level of mosquito bites!"
Chuanpu sheep looked at Fangzheng with a big gritty sheep face in surprise. The reason why Chuan Puyang said that Fang Zheng was a short-lived ghost was because Chuan Puyang sneaked a look at Fang Zheng's back in fear.
That's where the ghost bride is.
As of today, all those who have been cursed have died, and now there is only Fang Zheng, a bachelor!
Several black lines hung down Fangzheng's forehead.
Is this a compliment to him? Or are you hurting him? !
Fang Zheng immediately raised one foot and kicked Chuan Puyang: "Don't swear in front of children."
Being kicked for no reason, sheep also have a temper. Chuan Pu sheep was about to explode, but after hearing Fang Zheng's words, the fart in his mouth went back into his stomach, that goat face, and smiled at Yi Yi .
In fact, Yiyi is still young, and can't understand Chuan Pu Yang's dialect, but the environment from childhood is very important.
As Deng Weiren once said, education should start from the baby! !
At this time, Chuan Pu Yang looked up at the night outside the store, and his unscrupulous face showed a rare serious look for a while: "According to the time, he should have arrived at the city by this time."
Hearing this, Fangzheng also looked solemn.
Fangzheng knew that the him that Chuan Puyang said was referring to Zuo Qianhu.
According to what Chuan Puyang said, Zuo Qianhu left not long ago when he got the news of his return to Zhou City.
"Sheep boy, hurry up and tell my old sheep, this time you go to the blessed land of Siam, what will you receive?"
"I heard that there is such a performance in Siam. Shepherd boy, you shouldn't hide your siblings behind your back. Did you really go to see it?"
Chuan Puyang put on an excited gossip face, and hurriedly asked Fang Zheng.
In the end, it was Fang Zheng's kick who answered Chuan Puyang.
Do not talk about inappropriate topics in front of children.
But soon, Fangzheng remembered one thing.
Zuo Qianhu kept telling him in secret that when he came back, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had prepared a mysterious gift package for him. But now that Zuo Qianhu is missing, what is this mysterious gift package from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Thinking of Butcher Zhang, Mr. Fu, Yan Chixia, and Zuo Qianhu who had disappeared one after another, and even the instructor who was an instructor accompanied Yan Chixia to look for Butcher Zhang whose whereabouts were unknown, Fang Zheng felt in his heart. Sighing slightly, there was a look of worry in his eyes.
When it comes to the level of Mr. Fu and Butcher Zhang, with his current strength, he can only wait.
I hope Mr. Fu and the others can come back safe and sound.
Fangzheng looked at the night and it was getting late, the old magic stick was probably already closed and went back, so he had to wait until early tomorrow to go to the fortune-telling hall in the University City to see the situation of the old magic stick.
That night, Fangzheng stayed in Zuoqianhu's shop, did not go to the university town, nor returned to the community, he and Chuan Puyang told each other about the experience of the past month.
…
No matter where in the world, there are always dark corners where the light cannot shine.
Zhang Yongmao slept very deeply, very deeply.
He is a construction site supervisor. Recently, because some workers violated the regulations on the construction site, he has been busy wiping the workers' buttocks, and the relationship with the workers has become tense, so he has been under a lot of mental pressure in the past few days. Days rarely have time for sleep.
He who had been sleeping deeply, woke up in the middle of the night with a sense of heaviness and suffocation. Huh, he suddenly lifted the quilt covering his head. It turned out that the quilt covered his head, causing the suffocation to wake up.
"Hah, hah..."
Zhang Yongmao panted heavily, feeling his body was icy cold. When he touched his forehead and back, there was sweat. Looking at his wet palms, Zhang Yongmao, who was sitting on the bed, felt a little lingering fear for a while.
Fortunately he woke up in time.
It is said that people who are suffocated and hypoxic will sleep more and die.
However, Zhang Yongmao was a little strange when he woke up. He remembered that he slept with his head exposed. Why did he fall asleep, fall asleep, and finally covered his head with the quilt
I don't even have the memory of when I covered my head.
The reason why Zhang Yongmao is so sure that he sleeps with his head exposed before going to bed is because it is the most sweltering summer, only those who are afraid of heat, and no one who is too cold to sleep covering his head.
"Could it be that I slept too cold in the middle of the night, and finally covered my head with the quilt and continued to sleep?"
After waking up, Zhang Yongmao didn’t feel sleepy for the time being. He planned to get out of bed and drink a glass of water. The greenhouse effect is getting more and more serious. Every summer, the record for the highest temperature in history is broken again and again. dry.
call! call!
The yellowed and old electric fan in the room mechanically shook its head over and over again like a marionette. Behind the opened glass window, there was another layer of screen window, hoping to blow in some cool night air as much as possible.
Crash!
When Zhang Yongmao passed by the window sill, the curtains danced violently for no reason, but there was obviously no wind in the room, and there was no night wind blowing in outside the window. It was in this strange calm that the curtains danced wildly again for no reason. It was as if there was a person behind the curtains playing with the curtains.
call!
Zhang Yongmao violently opened the curtains, there was no one behind the curtains, only an empty white wall of an old house.
The white walls of the old house have turned yellow and moldy due to the years.
Seeing that there was no one behind the curtains, Zhang Yongmao let out a subconscious breath. He was about to put down the curtains, turned around and continued to drink water, but suddenly!
Zhang Yongmao froze and stopped on the spot, his eyes widened, staring at the direction of the screen window!
The night outside the screen window was very dark and extremely quiet, as if there was something blocking the outside of the house, making it impossible to see the outline of the buildings in the distance in the dark night. But this was not the reason why Zhang Yongmao was in a daze. When he saw the screen window of his house, it was pushed open a gap.
But Zhang Yongmao remembered it very clearly!
He obviously locked the screen window before going to bed!
Because he had forgotten to close the screen window before, and later the pet cat upstairs ran into his house. That time he slept until midnight, and when he heard movement in the house, he thought it was a burglar at home. I was quite frightened.
Therefore, he has developed a habit from now on to check whether the windows are locked before going to bed.
"Why, what's going on, I'm sleeping with my head covered by the quilt, and the screen window at home seems to be pushed open a gap. Did I forget, or, did a thief break into the house?"
Zhang Yongmao was nervous and hurriedly turned on all the lights in the house.
People have phototaxis, seeing every corner of the house being illuminated by lights, Zhang Yongmao's tense nerves relaxed a bit.
Next, Zhang Yongmao went to the window sill and checked the window sill. There were no traces of shoe prints or finger prints on the window sill, preliminarily ruling out the possibility of thieves entering the house.
Snapped!
Click!
Zhang Yongmao pushed up the screen window and locked the lock.
"Perhaps, I really forgot... I don't know why, people tend to get sleepy these two days, maybe it has something to do with that... coffin yesterday?"
"In the past two days, people's spirits are often in a trance, and they can't concentrate. I often hear from the older generation that the coffin is the place with the most yin and the place where dirt is the easiest to hide... How about going to a temple to worship tomorrow? …”
Zhang Yongmao just thought of this, bang bang bang!
bang bang bang!
Outside the door of the house where he lived, there was a continuous and vigorous knock on the door.
"Are you there?"
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
It was the voice of a very young woman.
"Who, who?"
Zhang Yongmao, who was suspicious in the middle of the night, was startled by the sudden knock on the door.
"Are you there?"
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
But the woman's voice outside the door was still repeating, as if she hadn't heard Zhang Yongmao's inquiry.
Then there was a bang bang bang bang on the door, which continued to ring, and the woman outside the door shouted towards the house while knocking hard on the door.
Zhang Yongmao was a little angry.
"Knock, knock, knock, are you knocking, or are you going to smash my door? Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door? If you knock on my door again, I'm going to call the police!"
However!
bang bang!
bang bang bang!
The woman's knock on the door continued.
It was as if no sound came from the house at all.
It was strange to say that there was such a big commotion here, and none of the neighbors came out to check the situation. Outside the door, there was only the sound of a woman knocking on the door vigorously, and there was no sound of door opening, talking, or footsteps from other neighbors.
After knocking on the door again, the woman's voice suddenly stopped.
Zhang Yongmao just stood there quietly.
With a nervous expression on his face, he stared at the door. The phone in his hand had already dialed the two numbers "1" and "1", and his fingers stayed on the number key "0" without falling.
Zhang Yongmao pricked up his ears to listen carefully, there was indeed no sound outside the door, as if the young woman who had been knocking on the door hard had really left.
One minute…
two minutes...
three minutes…
Time passed by, and Zhang Yongmao was finally convinced that the woman who knocked on the door had left. He was about to put down the phone in his hand when the young woman's voice sounded again outside the originally quiet door.
"Is no one home?"
"Then I'm coming in?"
"I really want to come in?"
"hehe… "
The voice of the woman outside the door, with a strange tone of light laughter, heard Zhang Yongmao's ears, and his scalp felt as cold as an electric shock.
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Yongmao hurried to the door.
"Just knocking on the door so hard just now, isn't that woman really going to smash the door in?!" Zhang Yongmao had a tense expression on his face and prepared to use his body to hold the door to prevent people from outside really trying to come in.
"Who are you?"
"who are you?"
"Did you recognize the wrong door? We don't know each other. Why do you keep knocking on my door! I really want to call the police!"
Zhang Yongmao shouted towards the door, trying to scare off the woman outside the door.
At the same time, Zhang Yongmao dialed the button on the mobile phone in his hand, ready to call the police.
Click!
Suddenly, there was a light sound in the room, like the sound of the window lock being turned over.
Then click, click, click... The sound of the window sliding down and sliding, and the window being gently pushed open.
Swish!
Zhang Yongmao's face was pale and pale, the sound of the window being pushed open came from his bedroom! And there was only one window in his bedroom.
It was the screen window! !
Come in! Something is coming in!
"Help!!"
boom!
Zhang Yongmao was so frightened that he died, his face was pale, he didn't even think about it, Zhang Yongmao, who was already stunned by the fright, opened the door directly and fled.
The corridor outside the door was empty, and there was no one there.
The woman who had been standing outside knocking on the door before was not seen in the corridor outside the door.
"Help!"
"help me!"
"Is there anyone! I beg you to hear my voice, save me!"
Zhang Yongmao slammed on the doors of his neighbors while going down the stairs, trying to rush out of the building where he was. He was so frightened that he cried out nervously.
But the people on the whole floor seemed to have fallen asleep, no one was woken up, and no one opened the door to check the situation.
Zhang Yongmao rushed down the stairs, desperately trying to escape! want to escape!
But soon he found with ashen complexion that the originally short stairs couldn't reach the end no matter what.
Zhang Yongmao, who is the supervisor of the construction site, looked ashamed and thought of a word on the construction site!
Yin and Yang Ladder!
