Zhou Yuefeng didn't want to know the trivial things that happened before the phoenix came, and naturally he didn't want to know the private affairs of the old man after this story, so he hurriedly grabbed this matter and asked the old man: "How can this be?" Could it be that he was eaten by this phoenix? ”

The old man immediately covered Zhou Yuefeng's mouth: "Don't you dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense, this phoenix is a divine bird, an auspicious bird, how can it eat people?" Everyone said that these people were taken away by the phoenix to become immortals, and some people said that these people were taken by the phoenix, and they went to build a nest for the phoenix, and they will come back, and when they come back, they will take the reward money given by the phoenix, so they don't have to live a hard life. ”

Zhou Yuefeng thought to himself: "What, these people are really superstitious, this may not be a phoenix at all, but the same name bird mentioned in the old man's letter!" ”

Then the old man said, "Do you know why I can watch the door here?" That's because, ah, the owner of this hotel has taken a fancy to my daughter, no, my daughter, has become the proprietress here, she saw that I work hard in the mountains every day, so she asked me to come here to watch the door, this doorkeeper, easy is relaxed, but no one speaks. ”

Then he said: "Let me tell you about the people I saw in this place, these people, they are strange, they are all dressed strangely, and some of them have different colors of hair on their heads, who knows if they were born, or what happened later, whether they are sick......

Zhou Yuefeng knew that the old man couldn't say anything important next, so he cleaned up the leftover lunch box on the table, put the box in a bag, and said to the old man: "Uncle, it's not too early this day, I'll go back first, you are also off work, hurry up and go home to rest and rest." ”

The old man said: "Don't worry, wait a while, there is an old king who comes to pick me up, he is on the night shift, he is here and I will leave, you wait, I still have a story to finish......" But Zhou Yuefeng had already run away with the lunch box, and the old man shook his head: "Finally, there is one who listens to me, and this is gone again." ”

When Zhou Yuefeng went back, the horse monkey had already begun to snore, Zhou Yuefeng went up and pulled the horse monkey out of the bed: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, I'll tell you, I know where this thing is!" The horse monkey rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where is it, what the old man told you?" ”

Zhou Yuefeng nodded: "I'll tell my brothers in a while, let's set off early tomorrow morning, this place is in Phoenix Ancient Village, which is more than ten kilometers away from here." The horse monkey said, "Oh I see, go to bed first." Then he continued to collapse under the covers, and after a while he began to snore again.

Looking at the sleeping horse monkey, Zhou Yuefeng also knew that these brothers were all familiar with such days, so they didn't care about finding their destination at all, so they didn't bother the other brothers, and went to the bathroom to wash up and lay down to sleep.

The air here is very good, the scenery is also beautiful, the next morning when I woke up, I felt really refreshed, Zhou Yuefeng stretched out his arm, and then got up from the bed, Lisuo washed up and got dressed, the horse and monkey on the side were still sleeping, Zhou Yuefeng quickly took him out of the bed: "Get up, have breakfast and set off." ”

Although the horse monkey was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to climb up. Zhou Yuefeng went to call the others again, the eight younger brothers have the habit of morning exercises, and they have already gone to morning exercises, Zhou Yuefeng also knew that they would come back before breakfast in a while, so he simply didn't look for them, and Cui Fatzi and the evil cat also got up.

The evil cat asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" I thought I'd be going to rest here for two days in a beautiful place, and I'm ready to stay here, what? I heard the horse monkey say, yesterday you had a good chat with the old janitor, didn't he leak the news to you? ”

Zhou Yuefeng nodded: "Yes, that place is called Phoenix Ancient Town, let's hurry up and go over after dinner!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise at the door, and Cui Fatzi said: "It must be this kid who is a horse monkey, what's going on, there is such a big movement, I'll go see what this kid is doing." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, but as soon as he walked to the door, he retreated, and Zhou Yuefeng asked, "What's wrong?" Before the words fell, I saw two policemen standing at the door, and a couple, who looked to be in their thirties, were really a beautiful couple, handsome men and beautiful women.

But at this time, there was no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the woman's image was immediately ruined, I saw that after she saw Zhou Yuefeng, she immediately waved her well-trimmed nails and rushed over, shouting while rushing: "You return my father's life, you murderer!" ”

However, the police are not vegetarians, and comforted the woman while pulling him: "Madam, don't get excited, the matter has not been investigated clearly, first find out the cause of the old man's death, and then investigate whether this kid did it, you can rest assured, if it is really him who did it, he will definitely be punished by the law." ”

The woman still didn't give up, but continued to wave her sharp nails and shout: "What else to investigate, what else to investigate?? He must have done it, no one approached my father for so many days, and the people in the lobby and the front desk said that he was the only one who stayed in my father's house for a long time yesterday afternoon, not who he was? ”

Zhou Yuefeng didn't know what was going on, he was stunned by this sudden situation, and then immediately reacted: "You, your father is the old man at the door?" The woman's shrill voice cried out, "You see, he knows it all, he did it, and you arrest him for me!" ”

Yesterday afternoon, I had a good chat with this old man, Zhou Yuefeng also had a good impression of this old man, and now when I heard the news of his murder, I was still in front of me in a trance that yesterday's scene was still in front of me, Zhou Yuefeng clenched his right hand tightly, and he didn't know that his nails were stuck in the flesh, and he said word by word: "Don't worry, I will definitely give the old man an explanation!" ”

Saying that, a few people who passed through the door walked over, and the police quickly grabbed him: "Hey, you can't go, you can't go, this matter is not over yet, please cooperate with our work!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuefeng's strength was extremely strong, these two policemen were not opponents at all, he shook it lightly, coupled with his ingenious figure, immediately removed the strength of the policeman's hand, and then disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Seeing Zhou Yuefeng leaving, the two policemen were angry with the evil cat and Cui Fatzi in the house, and said: "Since your brother is not cooperative, then you two can only stay here first, before the matter is investigated, I hope you two stay in this house, and someone will bring you food on time." With that, he closed the door with a clatter.

The evil cat and Cui Fat Man in the room were left looking at each other, and Cui Fat Man said, "This ...... What's the matter, it's ...... Just under house arrest? ”

The evil cat glanced at him, took off the clothes that had been put on his body again, and then turned around and got into the quilt: "Just rest for a few days, besides, you can see the scenery on Dushuo Mountain from the window here, and there are still people to provide food, it is estimated that we don't have to pay for this room, it is really pleasant." ”

Cui Fatzi thought to himself, you kid has a really big heart, but now it seems that there is no other way but to stay here first, this small room can't trap the two of them, but if you really break out, I'm afraid it will bring more trouble to Zhou Yuefeng.

Thinking of this, the two of them were all lying on the bed, looking through the big window, looking at the Dushuo Mountain towering into the clouds in the distance. And the situation on the horse monkey's side was not much better, and he was even placed under house arrest in the house, and gave him a warning: "If you dare to escape without permission, it proves that you are absconding in fear of crime." ”

The horse monkey can only pin his hopes on Zhou Yuefeng, hoping that Zhou Yuefeng, who ran out, can find out the truth and let them get out of this room as soon as possible.

The eight younger brothers have also been found and brought back, of course, they will inevitably be placed under house arrest, of course these people can easily get out of trouble, but they don't want to add unnecessary trouble to Zhou Yuefeng, so the place where they live is comfortable, the environment is good, there are people to eat and drink, and there is no big noise.

And although Zhou Yuefeng wants to avenge the old man, he has no score in his heart, this old man and him are only one side, who was his previous sin, or who is the sin of this old man's relatives, where does he know? It can be said that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, he didn't have a clue, so he could only walk aimlessly, he had already heard the old man tell him how to get to their village, so he wanted to go over and have a look first. It wasn't a long way, and now he couldn't show up to hire a car, so he had to walk along the road on foot.

When he was less than halfway through, he suddenly saw a pool of blood on the ground, the blood stains seemed to be dry, looking at the form of the blood, it may have appeared last night, which coincided with the time when the old man was killed, Zhou Yuefeng immediately squatted down to check the details, and it didn't matter if he looked carefully, he saw that the blood on the ground did not stop here, but extended to the woods on the side.

Zhou Yuefeng followed the bloodstains into the woods, and soon found a clearing, it was obvious that this was the scene of the old man's murder, he attached himself to check, only to see that the ground was full of footprints, the soil in this place was soft, and the blood had seeped into the ground, but these footprints were clearer.

Judging from the appearance of the footprints, these people are not afraid of leaks, the footprints are chaotic and numerous, judging from these traces, Zhou Yuefeng seems to feel that the old man's death is not so simple, as if he was abused to death, Zhou Yuefeng's eyes seem to appear in front of the old man at that time, but he refused to say anything, Zhou Yuefeng couldn't help but choke: "I will definitely find out the cause of your death and avenge you!" ”
