"Retribution, retribution!" Li Zhang lay on the windowsill and looked at the dark courtyard outside and muttered in a low voice, this afternoon he told Han Qi the story of the corpse, but the other party was scared a lot, as soon as the story was finished, Han Qi immediately said goodbye and left, and when he left, he kept staring at the hall where the corpse was stored, and it is estimated that this story has left a deep psychological shadow on him.

At first, Li Zhang still felt a sense of accomplishment in scaring a future prime minister, but in the evening he realized that he was actually eating the consequences, because in order to catch the thief who stole the food, he set a trap in the kitchen shed, and when the beans and they had finished eating, he pulled up the trap, and then hid himself behind the window in the room and waited for the thief to come.

But before the thief came, the fear in Li Zhang's heart came up, blaming him for telling Han Qi about fasting today, but now he remembers it all, all kinds of horror movies and novels are staged in his heart in turn, and this thing is not under control, it doesn't mean that if you don't want them, they will disappear immediately, but the more you don't want to, the more they will appear.

In this case, Li Zhang's courage is also disappearing little by little, and he always feels that there are some demons and monsters hidden in the darkness around him, which may pop out at any time, at this time, he also secretly regretted it, and he knew that he would let Douzi or Huozi stay and help him monitor together, but he took into account that Douzi and they would have to go out tomorrow, so he carried this matter alone, and as a result, he let himself fall to the point where he is now.

It is human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, in fact, let alone people, even if it is a fierce beast like a tiger and lion, the first reaction when encountering danger is to run away, so people often say that courage and courage are actually anti-instinctive, and human instinct is extremely powerful, sometimes it is not controlled by will alone, and Li Zhang is now in the stage where instinct has the upper hand, in short, Li Zhang is now afraid.

"Ahem, it's quite cold this ghost, so I'm going to bed and waiting." Li Zhang coughed dryly to make an excuse for himself, and then quickly got into bed and got into the quilt, when we were children, we all had this experience, even if we were afraid, as long as we got into the quilt, we would immediately have a sense of security, the quilt was like an absolute defense, blocking all the demons and monsters outside.

However, Li Zhang watched too many horror movies in his previous life, and even if he got into the bed, he felt a little unsafe, and finally simply slept next to the raccoon, which made him feel a lot more relieved, but even so, he still stayed up until the second half of the night before falling asleep, during which he also paid attention to the movement outside, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

"Woo woo ~ " The next morning, Li Zhang was woken up by a violent knock on the door, he jumped up from the bed and opened the door, only to see Douzi said anxiously: "Big brother, come quickly, there is something wrong in our kitchen!" ”

Li Zhang only remembered the trap he had set up in the kitchen at this time, and immediately walked quickly to the kitchen, only to see that the shed used as a kitchen was in a mess, several bowls were broken, and chopsticks, basins, and jars were also thrown to the ground, but when Li Zhang saw something on the ground, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and then walked over quickly.

"Big brother, isn't this the net you asked me to buy yesterday, why did you break such a big hole?" Douzi also saw something on the ground at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim at the moment.

Li Zhang also squatted down at this time to pick up the net and observe carefully, this net is made of a rope thick with a little finger, very strong, usually used by hunters for hunting, but now this strong net has broken a "one" shaped hole, the break of the rope is very rough, it seems that it should not be cut with a sharp weapon, but more like it was torn by a huge force, but what kind of monster has such great strength?

"Big brother, there were fewer cooking cakes I put in the pot yesterday!" At this moment, I saw that the ugly lady also came over with an annoyed face and said, originally she didn't plan to put the cooking cakes in the pot yesterday, but Li Zhang asked her to keep a few, but today it was really gone, and the kitchen was still a mess.

"It's okay, it's just a thief, I'll find a way to catch him!" Li Zhang said calmly at this time, but he was also very annoyed in his heart, because this thief had obviously fallen into the trap, but after escaping the trap, he still had the leisure to steal something to eat, which was too arrogant!

Huozi and the others also came at this time, and when they learned that there was a thief in the kitchen, they all scolded angrily, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the door say: "What thief, you thieves?" ”

"Uncle Wu!" Li Zhang immediately stood up when he heard this voice, and then saw Lu Wu walking in with a smile.

"What's the matter, I heard you all scolding thieves just now, what kind of thief is so blind, he actually came to you to steal things?" Lu Wu came to the kitchen at this time, and he was also stunned when he saw the chaos here.

"I don't know what it is to steal the cake to eat every day, I set a trap last night, but he still broke free." Li Zhang said helplessly with the broken net at this time.

Lu Wu took the net at this time and looked at it, but he showed a solemn expression, he was experienced, and he could see at a glance that this net was not cut at all, but was torn by a huge force, but this net was so strong, even if he had practiced martial arts for many years, he might not be able to tear it open.

However, although Lu Wu was surprised, he didn't show it on his face, but comforted the others with a light smile, and then pulled Li Zhang aside and asked in a low voice: "What is this thief, it is impossible for an ordinary little thief to have such strength!" ”

"I don't know, but I suspect what kind of monster it is, just the night before yesterday, I heard movement in the hall......" Li Zhang didn't hide it from Lu Wu, and told him about the monster at the moment, and as a result, Lu Wu frowned more and more tightly the more he listened.

"Don't worry about this matter, I'll come here tonight to keep watch, and then I must see if this thief who steals things is a human or a ghost!" Lu Wu said very solemnly at this time, no matter whether it is a person or a ghost who steals things, but such a strong net can be torn by it, it must be infinitely powerful, Li Zhang's group of children will definitely not be able to deal with it, and it is difficult to say whether the other party will hurt people, so he must solve this danger.

"Uncle Wu, the other party fell into the trap yesterday, although he escaped, he shouldn't dare to come tonight, right?" Li Zhang was a little worried at this time, in fact, he was also afraid that Lu Wu would be injured.

"Not necessarily, it still has the leisure to steal something to eat after it breaks free, which means that this thing is very bold, as long as it can still find food here, it will definitely come!" Lu Wu analyzed with his many years of experience.

Li Zhang also felt that it made sense when he heard this, and nodded at the moment, although he just said that he would find a way to catch this thief, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and Lu Wu was different, after all, he was professional, not only strong in martial arts, but also experienced, it should not be difficult to catch a thief who stole things.

At that moment, Li Zhang stayed with Lu Wu for breakfast, and then they went out of the stall as usual, Lu Wu didn't have anything else to do today, just to visit Li Zhang's brothers and sisters, so he also went out on an errand after eating.

The time of the day passed quickly, and when it was just dark, Lu Wu came back again with a few dishes and a pot of wine, because the thief usually came in the second half of the night, so Lu Wu asked Li Zhang to accompany him to drink and chat, there was not much wine, even if Li Zhang did not drink, with Lu Wu's amount of alcohol, he would not be mistaken by wine.

"Boy, I see that your small business is also quite prosperous, and I originally wanted you to follow me to the yamen to eat, but now it seems that there is no need for it, do you have any plans for the future?" Lu Wu drank the wine glass in front of him, and then stared at Li Zhang and asked.

I saw that Li Zhang also ate a mouthful of cold vegetables at this time, and at the same time complained in his heart that it was really unpalatable, and then he said: "Uncle Wu, the days will be long in the future, and I don't have any specific plans, but I want to save more money, and then change to a serious place to live, after all, it is not a matter to live in Yizhuang all the time." ”

Since hearing the strange sound in the hall that night, Li Zhang decided to move, he didn't have the money to buy a yard, but the money to rent a yard was enough, at least the rent here in Bianhe Town was not high, of course, don't think about Kaifeng City, as the capital, the housing prices in Kaifeng City have also reached the sky, not worse than the first-tier cities in later generations, or even higher.

"This is a serious matter, I happen to be familiar with it, I will help you pay attention to it during this time, it is best to have a shop in front of you that can do business, so that your business can also move over!" Lu Wu nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"It's hard to find a yard with paving, is it?" Li Zhang also wants to find a yard with paved noodles, but as far as he knows, there are not many yards with paved noodles in Bianhe Town, and many of them are built by various merchants themselves, even if he wants to rent them, people may not be willing.

"You don't have to worry about this, it's all on me!" Lu Wu is a big deal.

"Then there is Uncle Lao Wu!" Li Zhang immediately thanked him when he heard this.

"Are you kid and I polite?" Lu Wu immediately laughed and scolded, and then chatted with Li Zhang, nothing more than to talk about some cases he handled in the Yamen, as well as some anecdotes that happened in the market during this time, Li Zhang also interjected a few words from time to time, and the two talked happily.

After eating, Lu Wu asked Li Zhang to turn off the lights, and then he came to the straw shed where he was cooking with a knife and hid it, where there were many miscellaneous items, especially a lot of firewood used for cooking, which was very convenient for him to hide.

Li Zhang was worried about Lu Wu at first, so he kept lying on the window and looking out, but in the second half of the night, he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, but at this moment, he suddenly heard Lu Wu shouting in the courtyard, which made Li Zhang jump up.
