Chapter 6: Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night

The rain continued into the night and showed no signs of stopping, and the weather was much cooler.

With Master Liu's amulet, I felt at ease, opened my notebook at night, and watched a TV series that I hadn't finished watching before.

Closes at eleven o'clock sharp.

I don't know if it's because of the rain, the inn has a power outage, and the neighborhood is pitch black.

I took out my neatly folded amulet, hung it around my neck, pressed it firmly, and prepared to sleep.

As soon as I lay down, I heard a knock at the door.

"It's closed." I shouted.

But the knocking on the door never stopped.

I sat up and walked to the gate, where a vague figure stood outside, soaked in the rain. Because of the darkness, I couldn't see his face clearly.

"It's closed, come back tomorrow." I shouted.

The man hunched his shoulders and looked cold.

Although the store rules stipulate that the door cannot be opened after eleven o'clock, it rains heavily tonight and the power goes out, so he must catch a cold if he falls again.

It's only 11:05 anyway, so it should be fine, right? I was about to open the door when I suddenly felt something familiar with my back.

I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and took a photo, wasn't it Zhang Wenshao who had died suddenly standing outside?

I held my phone and stared blankly ahead.

Zhang Wenshao seemed to be anxious, standing sideways, and kept slamming the door. His face was unnaturally grayish, and his movements were mechanically odd.

I hurriedly stepped back and pulled the curtain, my heart almost jumping out of my throat.

"Brother Yang, I saw you, you open the door. I really don't have anywhere to go on this late day. Brother Yang? ”

Zhang Wenshao shouted outside.

I stood under the counter, not daring to move.

His movements grew louder. Almost the whole person slammed into the door.

The door was pure glass, and I was afraid that he would slam it in. I found the wrench that had been placed at the front desk, and my palms were covered with slippery sweat.

"Come back tomorrow, or I'll call the police!" I yelled at the door.

I don't know if my shouting worked, but he bumped a few times and left.

The night was thrilling.

Strangely enough, though, there were no guests checking in and no one checking out.

The color of the amulet did not fade.

The rain finally stopped in the morning.

Electricity was also restored.

After breakfast, I received a WeChat message from Zhang Wenshao. "Brother Yang, I'll be waiting for you at the supermarket next door."

I looked at my phone and chuckled.

It's not going to be haunted, right? Is he really alive? Am I being too suspicious?

I hesitated for a moment and walked out of the inn.

There is only one small supermarket nearby, just on the west corner of the inn.

I walked over, and Zhang Wenshao was standing in front of the freezer at the door of the supermarket drinking soda, still holding a bowl of hot tofu brain in his hand, gobbling it up.

"Have you eaten Brother Yang? Why didn't you open the door yesterday? Zhang Wenshao looked at me with some anger.

I looked at him hesitantly.

The big banyan tree next to the supermarket almost covers the entire street, and it is not clear whether Zhang Wenshao has a shadow.

"Wen Shao, you ......"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenshao asked me, swallowing the tofu brain with a bang.

"Was there an accident two days ago?"

"Hey, two days ago, on the night we were drinking, I had a small drink with me, who knew that I would faint at night. There is nothing wrong with going to the hospital for examination, my mother has not let me go out again for the past two days, and I am bored to death. ”

"Just fainted?"

"Could it be that you are still dead? What the hell is wrong with you? What are the gods babbling? Zhang Wenshao pushed me.

I looked at him carefully, and his complexion was fine, just a living person.

"Sister Lin said you died, and there is a video of your sudden death on the Internet." I turned on my phone to show him, only to find that the original blogger had deleted the video.

Zhang Wenshao was very angry, "Brother Yang, I treat you as a buddy and give you the talisman, why do you curse me to death?" ”

I'm speechless.

But I can't tell whether Zhang Wenshao in front of me is a human or a ghost.

After all, when I look at the raincoat uncle, I also think he is human.

As a result, he was slapped in the face by reality.

I told him about it carefully, "Maybe you were taken away by an ambulance, and others don't know about it." What did you do with me last night? ”

Zhang Wenshao said: "It's not a big deal, when I came out of my buddy's house, it was raining heavily near the store, and I couldn't get a car, so I said I wanted to go to the store for a night, but you didn't open the door for me." I had no choice, so I found Uncle Wang and squeezed in his house for one night. ”

He pointed to the supermarket owner.

The supermarket owner sat in the store and played with his mobile phone, without even looking at this side.

"I'm so embarrassed."

"Sister Lin said I was dead?" Zhang Wenshao threw the tofu brain box in his hand into the trash, "I suspect that Sister Lin has a problem." She used to say that she was a local, but I said that she didn't know a lot about the local area. I didn't think it was before, but now I think it's a big problem. You be careful. ”

I was furious by what he said, and touched the talisman on my chest and said, "With Master Liu's talisman, it should be fine." And thank you. I almost had an accident that day. ”

Zhang Wenshao was stunned, "Master Liu, what Master Liu?" ”

"Blind Liu? Isn't that the master you're talking about? ”

"I don't know Liu Blind, the master I'm talking about is Master Wen Jingwen."

I froze.

Am I a thousand dollars in vain? But no one came looking for me last night?

Zhang Wenshao shrugged, "Believe it or not, I'm talking about Master Wen." It was Uncle Wang who introduced me to me. I don't know the Master Liu you're talking about. Who the hell are you listening to? ”

I said it was Sister Lin.

Zhang Wenshao's face was solemn, "I know that she has a problem, you should be careful, it is better to leave as soon as possible if you can stay at that inn." I'll leave first when I have something to do in a while, and I'll go back to you. ”

I returned to the inn in a daze, and Sister Lin was walking upstairs with the sun-dried sheets.

Although I haven't been in contact for a few days, I really like Sister Lin, who doesn't talk much. She works hard and cooks deliciously, how can there be a problem?

But it was indeed she who told me that the master Zhang Wenshao knew was Master Liu. And the news of Zhang Wenshao's death was also told to me by her.

I went back to my room and thought about what had happened in the past few days.

Identify the problematic: the raincoat uncle, the woman in red.

Things to be determined: Zhang Wenshao's life and death, Master Liu's strength.

You only need to figure out the above things to be able to judge who is credible and who is suspicious.

If I think about it carefully, let's start with Zhang Wenshao's death.

Turn on your phone, find the counselor's number, and call him.

After the greetings, I said I wanted to ask him to help me check Zhang Wenshao's home address. "I heard that he had an accident, and I wanted to go to his house to worship."

The counselor was surprised, and muttered a few words about young people not to stay up late, and said that he would send it to me later.

After a while, the counselor called, "Yang Dong, are you going to make fun of me again?" There is no one named Zhang Wenshao in the 17th Department of Economics and Management. Guts fattened you? Invite me to dinner next time I go to the ancient city. ”
