Zhong Kui dodged into the South Room and closed the door casually, he had planned to rest here for the night. But when he saw the tall black shadow, he changed his mind.

What is a tall black shadow? This problem must be clarified as soon as possible, otherwise something big will happen.

When Zhong Kui returned to the ruined temple in Donghua Village, the children were already asleep. Gently pushing open the door of the broken temple, he looked at the sleeping children, and the tall black shadow he had seen in Xia Laohan's house before appeared in his mind, and his heart became inexplicably uneasy.

Zhong Kui leaned against the wall of the ruined temple, his eyes vigilantly looking out of the threshold of the black hole, not daring to relax in the slightest. He had to wait patiently for the dawn to come, and he had to find a way to settle the children, otherwise he would be discovered by the black shadows, and the consequences could be imagined.

Because Zhong Kui slept day and night in a coma, and now he has something in his heart, and his brain is completely blank and sleepless.

Zhong Kui looked at the sleeping child, and always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't pierce this strange feeling.

After a long time, Zhong Kui realized that this feeling was actually strange why these children were so quiet after they were asleep. They didn't make the slightest sound.

Zhong Kui, who was weak, really didn't have the energy to explore the children anymore to see why they were so quiet, he leaned against the wall, lay on the silk thatch, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

In the dead of night, not only Zhong Kui, who was in a broken temple, couldn't sleep, but Zhiqing and Liu Wengen, who were in the county guest house, couldn't fall asleep over and over.

A few minutes ago, Zhiqing and Liu Wengen discussed and decided to return to Xia Laohan's house tomorrow to check again, wanting to finally confirm Xia Laohan's true identity.

Zhiqing has such a preliminary speculation about Xia Laohan; According to Xia Laohan's dictation, he didn't seem to be involved in the Menling Village incident, if he didn't participate, then who is this Xia Zhi'an?

This summer solstice is like a shadow, suddenly appearing on this list. Zhiqing and Wengen visited many people, but they all shook their heads and did not know this person, nor did they hear the name of this person.

If he took the liberty to ask Zhong Hansheng, it would undoubtedly startle the snake, but it would arouse his vigilance.

Zhiqing was most worried about Zhong Kui, and when he secretly visited those people stationed in Menling Village, he and Wengen inquired a lot from the side, but there was no way to learn about him.

Zhiqing turned over and wanted to close his eyes and rest, but Zhong Kui's straightforward and stubborn face appeared in his mind. I couldn't sleep anymore, and I couldn't go to Menling Village again rashly. Thinking about everything that happened before, it is clear that someone deliberately instigated those ignorant villagers to make trouble, and when they picked up the bones, the villagers were frightened and ran away. Then a few strangers lurked nearby, and these strangers did not appear by chance, they must have come prepared.

At that time, he and Zhong Kui were in the light, and the people who were peeping at them were in the dark, and every time they always appeared unguardedly to attack them. When testing Zhong Hansheng, there was no flaw in the other party's old and cunning face.

The sound of Zhiqing's flipping provoked Wengen on the other bed to start flipping as well. There was a slight creak from the bed, followed by the sound of Wengen's violent coughing.

"Master, you haven't fallen asleep yet?"

"No, you still haven't slept!" Zhiqing replied with a wry smile in the dark.

In this quiet night, two big men are separated by a bed, and you talk about it word by word. Because it's night, the sound is exceptionally clear and three-dimensional.

"I'm thinking about one thing, it's a little weird."

I heard that Liu Wengen also had insomnia, "What's the matter?" Zhiqing asked casually. I thought, it seems that Wengen is also thinking about Zhong Kui, Menling Village and Lao Xia!

"I've heard one thing, and it's said; The wife of the Minister of Armed Forces died, as if strangled by a thief. ”

When Zhiqing heard this, he was secretly shocked, and hurriedly leaned over to look at the bed in the dark Chinese root and asked, "When is it?" He had a question in his heart, that is, when they went to Zhong Hansheng's house in the morning, didn't Zhong say that his wife was sleeping? How could it be dead?

"Just after we went, it seemed like noon, the minister was in a meeting. There was an accident at home, as if a thief named Zhang San had been caught. ”

"So coincidentally?"

"Master."

"Hmm."

"And guess what?"

"What?"

"This thief is the murderer outside the south gate, robbing the old man who picked up dung and water for three yuan and a few cents, and then killed and absconded."

"Hmm! Skillful! Outrageously coincidental. ”

"Yes! I'm thinking about it, too. ”

"Alas! In this world, the case is not investigated? ”

"After checking, the prisoner confessed, I heard that he had been killed, and the court was on the other side of the river beach in Menling Village."

For a villain who kills people and oversells goods, if he dies, he dies. But Zhiqing felt that this matter was too absurd.

Liu Wengen's next words seemed to confirm the doubts in Zhiqing's heart.

"My wife died for a few days, and Zhong Hansheng held a feast in the guest house restaurant, eating and drinking, and I heard that there was a particularly beautiful young woman next to him."

"Scum, it's just a discredit to the Ministry of Armed Forces." Zhiqing scolded indignantly.

"Master, why are you saying that this world is not fair, we have worked hard to carry out surveys, why no one cares about our benefits, and we have inexplicably stopped it. I don't know when or after this stop will be able to complete the work. ”

"Alas! There is nothing fair or unfair in this world, and there are such and such unfair things happening everywhere. Go to sleep! Get up early tomorrow and go to Xia Laohan's house to have a look, and by the way, let's check the whereabouts of Xiao Zhongkui. ”

"Oh, okay." Zhiqing glanced at the dark place where Wengen was squirming, turned over and slept facing the door. Thinking is always stuck in the matter of looking for Zhong Kui, I don't know how this kid is doing now?

The cold crescent moon flickered and drifted in the clouds. The night insects stopped chirping, and the outside of the ruined temple was pitch black, and the cold wind slowly peeked in through the cracks in the dilapidated door, floating wantonly in the messy temple space.

With the chirping of crickets in his ears, Zhong Kui watched the clay statue Bodhisattva standing coldly in the silence. There are three clay sculpture bodhisattvas, and one large one has been unrecognizable due to disrepair and various damages, and the facial features have been displaced in the smashing. The ears are missing, the left side of the face is sunken in a pit, and half of the chin is missing.

The two small statues were not very damaged, and when Zhong Kui looked carefully at the two slightly shorter clay statues, he had the illusion that the corners of the clay statues' eyes flashed, as if something was rolling down.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Kui immediately got up, walked to the clay sculpture Bodhisattva, stretched out his finger and gently scraped the corner of the clay sculpture Bodhisattva's eyes.

"What are you doing?" The sound of inquiry that broke through the air startled Zhong Kui's outstretched hand and immediately retracted.

"Huh!" The clay sculpture bodhisattva suddenly spoke, and Zhong Kui took a step back in a stunned nervous manner.

If you look closely, the clay sculpture Bodhisattva did not move at all, suspecting that her hearing was wrong. Just when he was about to raise his hand again to scratch the corner of the clay Bodhisattva's eyes, the clay Bodhisattva suddenly shook.
