Lao Wang stood silently motionless, Chen Yiqiao frowned, stepped forward and patted Lao Wang's shoulder.

"You old man, what's the matter...... Hey, you're so cold, go to the room and have a fire. ”

As if he hadn't heard, Lao Wang turned around and walked slowly into the night.

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, this old man is not afraid of getting sick."

shouted twice, and seeing that Lao Wang didn't pay attention, Chen Yiqiao muttered and closed the door again.

I don't know if everyone is joking with him, in the later time, one by one acquaintances walked to the gate, and every time they shook the gate to wake up Chen Yiqiao, they left silently.

Chen Yiqiao almost didn't sleep all night, and after drinking, the whole person was a little deformed the next day.

As a result, when Ling Tian saw him, he almost didn't recognize him.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't talk, help me watch the door tonight, I, I'm going to sleep." Chen Yiqiao waved his hand, his face full of exhaustion: "The keys are all in the drawer, thank you." ”

There was no time for Ling Tian to object, Chen Yiqiao walked out of the soy sauce factory like a beaten cabbage.

Seeing Chen Yiqiao's performance, Ling Tian was shocked: "Could it be that something happened last night?" ”

Something did happen last night, and none of the workers who were beaten yesterday came to the factory, and after contacting, they all said that they were too sleepy and needed to take a rest.

This abnormal scene made Ling Tian's heart suddenly alert.

I would have liked to know more about it, but now it seems that there is little hope. For a whole day, the soy sauce factory seemed to be forgotten by everyone, and no one set foot on it.

Until nightfall.

According to last night's route, there was a special look at the fermentation tank, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, Ling Tian returned to the hut on duty.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that there was no abnormality, Ling Tian almost picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips, after all, Chen Yiqiao had an accident after drinking last night.

Just when he couldn't help it, he suddenly heard a strange noise from the door.

"Anyone?"

Almost without hesitation, Ling Tian quickly ran towards the gate, Chen Yiqiao was still wearing last night's clothes, standing at the gate with his hands down.

Seeing that it was him, Ling Tian was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still squeezed out a smile: "Didn't you let me keep vigil tonight, don't you worry?" ”

Chen Yiqiao didn't say a word, his lowered head didn't rise, and his whole body swayed back and forth slightly.

Only then did Ling Tian realize that Chen Yiqiao had actually landed on his toes.

Possessed by a ghost on tiptoe.

He was a little uneasy, but he still managed to calm down: "It's so late, you go back early to rest, tonight's vigil." ”

Seeing that Ling Tian had no intention of opening the door, Chen Yiqiao turned around and left obediently.

"Whew."

Seeing Chen Yiqiao's figure walking away, Ling Tian let out a long breath: "Chen Yiqiao encountered a ghost, could it be that he was recruited last night, and did the other workers also be recruited." No, if that's the case, I'm fine. ”

With doubts, Ling Tian walked back to the duty room, he felt that if he wanted to solve all this, the focus should be on that ghost thing.

After about an hour, there was another sound at the gate, and this time Ling Tian was not in a hurry, but waited for a while before going out.

There was a person standing outside the gate again, this person Ling Tian had seen that it was one of the workers guarding the soy sauce factory, but he didn't know what his name was.

Ling Tian walked over and was about to speak, but the man had already turned to leave, his toes were the same as Chen Yiqiao's, they were all worried.

"What are you doing to keep me from sleeping?"

The strange reaction made him a little confused, but as soon as the words fell, his attention was attracted by the sound of "ding ding dong".

The sound was coming from the other side of the fermenter, and it sounded like someone was knocking on something.

"Sound east and west,."

Ling Tian no longer paid attention to the distant figures, and quickly returned to the fermentation pool, the corpses or wreckage that he thought would appear did not appear, on the edge of the fermentation pool, an old man was laboriously stirring the sauce in the fermentation pool with a 4-meter-long colander, and the whole aroma came out with the stirring.

The sound I heard just now was the sound of a colander touching the bottom of the pool.

"Who are you?"

A beam of light shot out from the flashlight in Ling Tian's hand and shone on the old man.

The violent beam of light actually penetrated the old man's body and hit the wall behind him, but the bright beam became a little dim.

The old man's movements stopped, and his cloudy eyes looked at Ling Tian: "Can you see me?" ”

Ling Tian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, losing his ability made him a little nervous, not to mention that this might be the existence that caused the tragedy: "Hehe, I can see, old man, what are you doing?" ”

The old man gently stroked the handle of the colander, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Don't worry, young man, we're not bad guys, just ......." The old man glanced around nostalgically: "Reluctantly, although it has changed a lot, at least the taste is still there." ”

The two words of us made Ling Tian's heart tremble, and then he heard the old man's words, and felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Old man, you are also employees of the soy sauce factory?"

Ling Tian bit the words hard, but the old man didn't care at all, nodded and let out a sigh.

"The soy sauce factory existed in the last dynasty, and although it was only a small workshop at that time, it was indeed everyone's roots and everyone's beliefs. The master took the apprentice, and the apprentice brought the apprentice, even if there was a war, the smell of sauce in the soy sauce factory never stopped. ”

The old man's words made Ling Tian understand that the emotions and obsessions in his heart made these former masters of the soy sauce factory not reincarnate, but silently paid attention to the development of the soy sauce factory.

After knowing that the soy sauce factory was about to be bought and no longer produced soy sauce, I took a fresh look with the help of the bodies of those who also intended to protect the soy sauce factory.

Only the old man in front of him, because he has been a ghost for a long time, can get in touch with the real thing in the soy sauce factory without the help of his human body.

One doubt is solved, but more doubts arise.

The soy sauce factory was protected by ghosts, why were those workers still killed? Looking at the old man's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying, of course, it just didn't look like it, after all, he didn't have the ability now, and Ling Tian couldn't observe the resentment on the old man's body at all.

After chatting with the old man for a few words, Ling Tian returned to the duty room, thinking that he would find any clues, but he didn't expect that it was the ghost of the former employees of the soy sauce factory, and for a while, things came to an impasse again.

Nothing else happened that night, and by daybreak all the workers had come to work, and although some fatigue could still be seen, most of them were back to normal.

This made Ling Tian's worries finally let go, when he met with the old man last night, he mentioned that although they had feelings for the soy sauce factory, if they were possessed all the time, it would have a bad impact on these workers.

Now it seemed that the old man had listened to it, which also allowed Ling Tian to dispel his suspicions about the old man.

"Lu Yun, you kept vigil last night, what about Chen Yiqiao?"

"Oh, the other person is uncomfortable."

A familiar worker greeted him, Ling Tian skillfully asked, and the worker just scolded Chen Yiqiao and left.

At this time, Ling Tiancai found that not all the workers had come, and Chen Yiqiao had not been seen until now. However, he didn't care, after all, Chen Yiqiao was only possessed last night, and it was normal to have a day off like these workers.

The next day, Chen Yiqiao still didn't show up, not only Ling Tian was worried, but the other workers were also aware of it, after all, there were only so many dozens of people who resolutely protected the soy sauce factory.

On the morning of the third day, everyone gathered in the warehouse again, and after a few brief words, an old man talked about Chen Yiqiao.

"Did Chen Yiqiao encounter something, he didn't come during this time."

"What could happen, I guess he's just scared."

"No, Chen Yiqiao's wife has come to the factory several times, saying that Chen Yiqiao has not been home for the past few days, and she has called the police."

"Yes, yes, I have also been to Chen Yiqiao's house, and the person is indeed gone."

"Could it really be that Zhang Siqiang was killed? Chen Yiqiao said that Zhang Siqiang wanted to harm us. ”

"How is that possible?"

……

The old man's words seemed to open the chatterbox, and a group of people began to discuss it, and at this time Ling Tian knew that Chen Yiqiao was missing.

I don't know why, Ling Tian's first reaction was to look at the fermentation tank not far away. Through the glass, you can clearly see the red watercress and peppers in the fermentation tank, and there are still salt grains on top of it.

"Land, land."

"Huh?"

It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that Ling Tian realized that his name was Lu Yun now, and hurriedly responded.

The old man who greeted him didn't care about Ling Tian's reaction, and asked directly: "You were the last to see Chen Yiqiao, is there anything abnormal about him?" ”

Ling Tian shook his head, Chen Yiqiao was indeed abnormal at night, it was a ghost, but how could such a thing be said.

The old man nodded: "Well, the police may want to ask you when they turn around, just tell the truth." ”

"Oh, good."

Until everyone dispersed, Ling Tian didn't mention the matter of the fermentation pool, and waited until everyone left in the evening before he came to the edge of the fermentation pond with a flashlight.

Turn on the light, because it is a warming lamp to accelerate fermentation, there is enough light, and the whole fermentation tank is visible at all.

Picking up the colander on the side, Ling Tian's hand trembled a little, he didn't know what he should do if Chen Yiqiao's body was really found inside.
