At night, Wu Nanzhi walked through the woods, carefully avoiding the thorn bushes that grew wantonly.

Wu Nanzhi's school often arranges some illegal make-up activities, and Wu Nanzhi, as a representative of his classmates who study in general and don't interact much with teachers on weekdays, is forced to stay and participate in these make-up activities.

Wu Nanzhi is not good at words on weekdays, and he doesn't know how to refuse this kind of thing at all, so he always makes up the class until eight or nine o'clock before he releases them, but every time he makes up the class, the woods are already completely dark.

At first, Duan Penghao resolutely resisted the make-up activities that caused Wu Nanzhi to walk home at night, but he couldn't stand up to Wu Nanzhi's tough attitude.

My own children still have to rely on the care of the teachers at school during the day, and falling out with the teachers is not a wise choice.

Sometimes that's how it is, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Wu Nanzhi's homeroom teacher's attitude, coupled with Wu Nanzhi's walking at night a few times, did not cause anything, so no matter how much Duan Penghao resisted, he had to accept this result.

This night, Wu Nanzhi made up classes at school until eight o'clock, and when he got home, it was estimated that it was already past ten o'clock.

Wu Nanzhi held the flashlight in his mouth, and by the light of the flashlight, he carefully dodged the barbs on the tree next to him while flipping through the book.

"Namggyi."

Suddenly, an ethereal voice appeared in the ears of Wu Nanzhi, who was concentrating on reading.

Wu Nanzhi stopped abruptly, raised his head and turned around, looking at the dark woods around him by the light of a flashlight.

He closed the pages of the book in his hand, changed the flashlight in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, but there was no sound around him except the rustle of leaves from the wind.

Did you hear it wrong?

Wu Nanzhi didn't open the book again, but carefully turned on the flashlight and quickened his pace towards home.

"Brother Namzhi."

The voice appeared again, and this time, Wu Nanzhi heard it clearly.

Wu Nanzhi shuddered all over, stopped again, and turned around, but because of the obstruction of layers of branches and leaves, the light of his flashlight could only be restrained within a range of five or six meters, and it was blocked from a distance.

Wu Nanzhi stopped, kept sweeping around with a flashlight, and asked vigilantly: "Who?" ”

However, Nightwind did not give him any response.

Last time, maybe Wu Nanzhi could comfort himself that he had misheard, but this time, he clearly heard someone calling him.

Brother Namggyi......

I'm afraid there is only one person who can call himself that......

Wu Nanzhi was afraid for a while, since the first day that the blind Xiaoyue came to his house, all kinds of strange things have been staged one after another, and it is really impossible for him not to think in this direction.

Wu Nanzhi quickened his pace, almost rushing through the forest, and at the same time chanting words in his mouth.

"Lord, save me from the error of tongues and forgotten tongues. that I may pray in spirit and in truth. ”

This is the prayer that Wu Nanzhi saw from the book "The Origin of Religion", which says that pious prayer can help people resist the attacks of evil spirits.

He didn't know if it would work, but maybe there was no other choice now.

Even if it's just a little more psychological comfort.

However, just as Wu Nanzhi quickened his pace and walked through the woods, a figure quietly appeared where Wu Nanzhi was before......

……

Duan Penghao was preparing breakfast for the next morning in the kitchen, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and saw that the time had pointed to half past ten in the evening, and he couldn't help muttering, "Why hasn't this kid Nanzhi come back yet?" ”

At this time, Chu Mian also came to the kitchen, and said to Duan Penghao with some concern: "Dad, it's already this time, Nanzhi hasn't come back yet, do you want to go out to greet you?" ”

Duan Penghao glanced at Chu Mian, immediately put down the knife in his hand, untied his apron, and said to Chu Mian: "You take care of Xiaoyue at home, I'll look for it." ”

Chu Mian agreed, and then saw Duan Penghao put on a coat and picked up a flashlight and went out.

"Namji!" Duan Penghao walked into the forest with a flashlight while calling out Wu Nanzhi's name.

However, just as Duan Penghao was about to enter the forest to look for it, there were suddenly several strange noises in the backyard.

"Boom, boom—"

This voice sounded like something scratching the door in the back, Duan Penghao's heart tightened, and his heart said Don't be a beast.

However, when he turned on the flashlight and went to the back of the house, he saw that the sound was actually made by Wu Nanzhi.

I saw Wu Nanzhi squatting on the back door, constantly drawing something on the floor in front of the door, and at the same time chanting words in his mouth, sweating profusely and looking very hard.

"Namgygy?" Duan Penghao was a little puzzled, what was this kid doing outside when he didn't come home at night, "What are you doing?" ”

As soon as Wu Nanzhi heard Duan Penghao's voice, he hurriedly drew the last stroke on the ground, and then hurriedly ran to Duan Penghao's side, looking as if something was chasing him behind him: "Dad!" Listen to me, there's something in the woods, evil spirits! ”

Hearing Wu Nanzhi say this, the expression on Duan Penghao's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly turned his head to the side, seeing that what Wu Nanzhi had drawn on the floor before turned out to be a positive five-pointed star array.

"Nanzhi," Duan Penghao took a deep breath, bent down and tried to put himself on the same level as Wu Nanzhi, the child, "It's all made up in books, there are no evil spirits at all, and there is no magic circle." ”

"It's true! There really are evil spirits in the woods of Dad! Wu Nanzhi wants to argue with reason.

However, Duan Penghao had lost his patience, he waved his hand, rudely interrupted Wu Nanzhi's words, pointed to the house to him, and said in a deep voice: "Now, go home." ”

Wu Nanzhi wanted to say something, but when he saw Duan Penghao's unkind expression, he had to hold back all the words in his stomach.

After returning home, Duan Penghao confiscated Wu Nanzhi's copy of "The Origin of Religion" and did not give Wu Nanzhi any chance to defend himself.

However, after Wu Nanzhi went home, Duan Penghao did not continue to be entangled in this matter, because it was soon time for them to go to bed, Wu Nanzhi and Xiaoyue quickly went upstairs under the urging of Chu Mian, they still had to go to class the next day, if they slept too late, they would have no energy in class the next day.

Duan Penghao continued to prepare breakfast for the next day downstairs, but when he finally finished it, he found that the seasoning box in the kitchen was missing, and he searched every cabinet but couldn't find it, and finally had no choice but to replace it with something else.

How did he know that Wu Nanzhi secretly brought the seasoning box to the bedroom and sprinkled all the salt in the box in front of the window of the room.

However, Wu Nanzhi did not know that the so-called evil spirit did not come from the woods outside the house, but from the inside of the house......

Early the next morning, Wu Nanzhi went out early and told Duan Penghao that he was going to school, but no one saw that after he left the forest park, he ran in the opposite direction to the school.
