The two drank and chatted, and when Chen Deshui finally put all the two bottles of liquor into his stomach, lay on the messy bed and snored like thunder, Zhang Xiaoluo walked out of the door.

It was already dark outside, Zhang Xiaoluo glanced at Chen Detu's courtyard opposite, and walked over slowly.

When he got closer, Zhang Xiaoluo suddenly saw that the small door on the side of the iron door was actually opened from the inside, and a black shadow bowed his head and came out.

"Oops, you scared the hell out of me!"

The black shadow that came out of the door suddenly saw Zhang Xiaoluo standing at the door without saying a word, and his whole body trembled with fright, and he couldn't help but complain. Listening to the voice, it turned out to be Lu Xilian, Chen Deshui's wife who was hired by Chen Mingtang.

"It's sister-in-law Xilian, who are you?"

Lu Xilian was still dressed as a peasant woman, and she was still carrying a small basket in her right hand, and a cloth towel with broken flowers was placed in the basket, and a strong fishy smell emanated from the basket.

"Oh, isn't this Chen Detu coming back, Mingtang asked me to send him a few fish, they are all from the same village, and they are from this family!"

As Lu Xilian spoke, she turned around and closed the small door, and walked along the path that had gradually darkened towards Chen Mingtang's house.

Zhang Xiaoluo hesitated, stepped forward, and reached out to push the small door, but he didn't push it open, and the iron bolt behind the small door was actually buckled.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaoluo was still familiar with the gate of this kind of folk courtyard, and he remembered that Lu Xilian had clearly brought the iron gate just now, and it stands to reason that he should be able to push it open. And he has been standing outside the door, if someone fastens the door bolt from the inside, he will definitely not be able to escape Zhang Xiaoluo's ears.

Zhang Xiaoluo raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly to re-examine this brand-new courtyard.

A faint ghostly aura hovered above the courtyard, faintly wrapping the entire courtyard, as if it might dissipate at any time.

"Wild ghost guarding the house? This Chen Detu has such a yin virtue! ”

There are always some people in the yang world, who do good deeds and accumulate blessings, build roads and bridges, and accumulate a lot of yin virtue. Such a person may be sheltered by the lonely ghosts who have been blessed by him, so that other ghosts who inadvertently run into it will disturb the owner of the house.

Although Zhang Xiaoluo had only met Chen Detu twice, he was sure that Chen Detu did not seem to be the kind of good person who did good deeds and accumulated virtues, otherwise he would not sit idly by and ignore his brother in poverty.

If it's not for doing good deeds and being protected by wild ghosts, then it's catching ghosts and protecting the house!

Catch a few wild ghosts to guard the mansion, Zhang Xiaoluo can do it himself. But catching ghosts and protecting the house will damage the yin virtue that he has accumulated, and then it will ...... No matter how Zhang Xiaoluo looks at it, he doesn't think that Chen Detu has a Taoism that is not inferior to that of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Master.

It was already completely dark, and the villagers of the village were struggling to make ends meet, let alone lay street lamps in the village!

Once again, the entire village was shrouded in thick darkness.

Thinking of Zhang Yu's side, Gao Yaoyao didn't know if she had accompanied Zhang Yu according to her instructions. Zhang Xiaoluo finally gave up his plan to jump over the wall and turned around and walked towards Chen Mingtang's house.

Lu Xilian was bending down in the hall to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table. The little girls from the attached courtyard were playing poker in the East House. From time to time, Wang Qi's excited laughter could be heard in the room.

Zhang Xiaoluo glanced at Wang Qi, who had already posted a few thin notes on his face, and then swept around the other girls, but he didn't find Zhang Yu and Gao Yaoyao.

"Sister Qiqi, what about Zhang Yu and Gao Yaoyao?"

"Oh, they're in Westinghouse! Xiao Luo, do you want to play a few games? ”

Wang Qi looked up at Zhang Xiaoluo while playing the cards in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, Wang Qi seemed to have good luck tonight.

"Let's play, I'll go see Zhang Yu!"

Zhang Xiaoluo said, then turned around and said hello to Lu Xilian, who was holding a stack of dishes and chopsticks, walked to the West House, and stretched out his hand to push open the closed door.

"Who!"

Gao Yaoyao's slightly nervous voice came from the house, Zhang Xiaoluo coughed lightly, and stood outside the door for a while before stepping into the house.

Chen Mingtang's west house is two rooms, with a partition wall in the middle. Outside, there are some wooden utensils used to make clay pots. The one inside is the hut where Zhang Yu lives temporarily.

"Brother Zhang is here!"

Zhang Yu was sitting on the edge of the bed with Gao Yaoyao, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoluo open the curtain and walk in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him in a low voice.

"Xiao Zhang Yu, if you don't feel used to being here, I can call the director, let's go back!" Rest assured, it will not affect your future regularization. ”

Zhang Xiaoluo still did not give up the idea of persuading Zhang Yu to leave.

"No need, Brother Zhang, since you're here, you have to do something meaningful before leaving."

Zhang Yu refused softly, lowered his head again, sat on the edge of the bed, held his little hands, and was silent.

Zhang Xiaoluo sighed softly, reached out and took out a small copper bell from his arms, and hung it behind the door. When Gao Yaoyao saw the copper bell, her face couldn't help but change, and her body moved slightly, moving away from Zhang Yu.

"Yaoyao, go back and rest! I'll be with her a little longer! ”

Gao Yaoyao nodded slightly, stood up and walked out.

"Brother Zhang, you ...... You don't have to guard me like that! ”

After Gao Yaoyao left, Zhang Yu finally raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoluo, with tears faintly flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Zhang Yu, I don't know what happened to you, and I don't know what you're thinking in your heart. But...... Most of the ghosts who do not enter reincarnation have different paths. ”

"You say, are there good ghosts? Not all demons are harmful to people's hearts, are they? ”

Zhang Xiaoluo was silent, he didn't know how to answer Zhang Yu's question. If there are no good ghosts, it is his contrary to his will. But if ghosts also have kind people, he is afraid that this tenacious girl will get into a dead end.

"You rest early, if this string of copper bells rings, I will come!"

Zhang Xiaoluo finally glanced at Zhang Yu, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, like a little daughter-in-law waiting for her husband's return, and walked out with her head down.

Zhang Yu glanced at the string of copper bells that Zhang Xiaoluo hung behind the door, hesitated for a while, and slowly stood up and reached out to take off the copper bells, and stuffed them into the drawer of the wooden table next to the bed.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoluo went out, he saw Chen Mingtang standing at the gate of the courtyard, his pipe lit up from time to time, and his eyes were staring at him.

"Doctor Zhang, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early!"

After Chen Mingtang finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Xiaoluo and walked straight to his own hall. Lu Xilian, who was busy by the stove, glanced up at Zhang Xiaoluo, and then lowered her head again to pick it up.

Zhang Xiaoluo has never felt so constrained today, and Zhang Yu's non-cooperation made him very depressed.

He walked outside the courtyard and looked up at the starless night, with a strong sense of powerlessness.

On the street in the distance, there was suddenly a staggering black shadow, coming towards Zhang Xiaoluo step by step. The street was dark, and I looked down on the face of the black shadow, and saw that the black shadow's head was lowered, and there seemed to be something standing above his shoulder. As the dark shadow approached, a thick aura of resentment greeted him.
