Chapter 204: Louder in the Middle of the Night
After a long time, Zuo Dengfeng retracted his thoughts and sighed for a long time, and then put the file into the wooden box, and then continued to rummage through the books he needed, at this time there was a commotion outside the wall of the Cultural Hall, there were crying, scolding, and insults, without asking, it was known that the family members of the Cultural Department got the news to collect the corpse, but they were all blocked out by the devils and the puppet army, and the two devils followed him It was not useless, and they wiped their butts very well.
It's noisy outside, but the yard is very quiet, and the devil won't let anyone bother him, but Zuo Dengfeng didn't find the books he needed, Jinan is not as big as Nanjing, and it is not like Nanjing that has been set many times, so the collection of books here is very incomplete.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zuo Dengfeng beckoned Thirteen who was sitting on the roof to come down and leave through the back door with it, in fact, it should be said that it was the back wall, because Zuo Dengfeng basically doesn't go through the door now.
The location of the cultural hall is relatively remote, Zuo Dengfeng has been on the roof with the help of the roof after leaving with thirteen, he wants to see if the thirteen can keep up with him, the result of the test is that the thirteen at this time is not effortless to follow him, under the moonlight, a person and a cat fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the lightning flashes.
It didn't take long for Zuo Dengfeng to find the pawnshop where the pawn night pearl was pawned, and the old courtier was still there, and he was pulling the abacus under the electric light at the moment, and he was slightly shocked after seeing Zuo Dengfeng.
"Hello, I'm Zuo Dengfeng, I'm sorry for you." Zuo Dengfeng directly reported his name.
"Oh, the distinguished guest is here, hurry up and serve tea." When the old courtier heard this, he immediately turned out of the counter and ordered the man to serve tea.
"Don't bother, you can help me see if a golden ticket of eight hundred taels in Kanazawa Kyushu has been exchanged today." Zuo Dengfeng smiled, everyone has vanity, if the old court gave him a sentence of 'Who is Zuo Dengfeng,' he would be depressed.
"You may be seated, and I will ask you at once." Lao Chaofeng picked up the phone as he spoke, and there were only a few big bosses of Hui merchants, all of whom were in contact with each other, and the golden ticket of eight hundred taels belonged to a big number, so Lao Chaofeng had a result after a few phone calls.
"It's being exchanged, and it's in Kanazawa Kyushu branch in Wangguanzhuang, Xicheng." The old Chao Feng said.
"Thank you, it's not appropriate to talk about this to outsiders." Zuo Dengfeng got up and said goodbye.
The old courtier responded and nervously sent him to the door.
Zuo Dengfeng was not being followed at the moment, so he wanted to make sure that his relatives had left safely, and after a while, Zuo Dengfeng found the Kanazawa Kyushu pawnshop in Xicheng, where there was no army or puppet army, most of his relatives took the money and left, and at this time they were still taking the money and leaving one after another, and there were only a dozen people left at the door of the pawnshop.
Zuo Dengfeng did not show up, but sat on the roof and watched those relatives take the money and leave, half an hour later, his two sisters also took the money and left, the two families did not go in the same direction, Zuo Dengfeng watched his relatives separate, his mood became heavier and heavier, people live in the world is feelings, although he had a grudge against these relatives before, but there is still a relative, and now they have been separated, there is no way to find it in the future, the family relationship is completely cut off, Zuo Dengfeng once again felt empty in his heart.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't say goodbye to them, but kept sitting on the roof in a daze, from now on, the thirteen who squatted next to him was his only family.
After a long time, Zuo Dengfeng came back to his senses, took Thirteen to buy some cooked meat into the water, and then found a pancake shop from the street, and paid the old couple to help make the fire, tomorrow he will walk with the wolf, he has to prepare food for himself, the weather has begun to be hot, and the pancake with less moisture can be stored for a long time.
Zuo Dengfeng drank with meat, and at the same time borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, the separation of his relatives made him very depressed, but he didn't dare to contact him secretly, because Fujisaki and others were already scared of him, these guys were everywhere, the safest way was to not contact at all, the old couple of pancakes were busy by the oven, and from time to time turned their heads to look at Zuo Dengfeng and Thirteen, what they didn't understand was that Zuo Dengfeng was so shabby, how could he use ginseng to feed the cat.
The reason why Zuo Dengfeng fed Thirteen Snow Ginseng was to observe whether the spiritual object was useful to it, Thirteen had lived on the top of the Snow Mountain before, and often ate this snow ginseng, at this time the snow ginseng was not dehydrated, and Thirteen would make a crispy sound when he chewed it.
A fire burns half a catty, forty is twenty catties, after paying the money, Zuo Dengfeng bought five boiled and dried ducks from other places, and then prepared to drink water, at this time you can buy military aluminum kettles of the Kuomintang troops everywhere, four kettles filled with water, four bottles of liquor, these things Zuo Dengfeng is calculated, to ensure that he can survive within a month without relying on external supplements, a few snow ginseng in the wooden box is the ration of thirteen, snow ginseng is a big supplement, eat one can top many days, Taking a step back, even without rations, this fat cat can't starve to death.
At this time, the wooden box was basically full, and the preparations before Zuo Dengfeng's departure were ready, and the time had come, and the streets were quiet, and occasionally the barking of dogs and the sound of the husband could be heard.
Only listened to the sound of the watch, Zuo Dengfeng frowned suspiciously, this watch is not an ordinary person, although there is no entrainment of aura in the voice, but it is very thick and has a long breath, which means that this person has a certain aura cultivation, before this Zuo Dengfeng also heard the sound of the watch, definitely not this person.
In ancient times, the watch was divided into five watches, and the time from seven to nine o'clock in the evening was a watch, at this time it was the time to cook on fire and light wax lighting, so the husband would say "the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candle" to remind everyone to pay attention to fire prevention.
Nine o'clock to eleven o'clock is the second watch, at this time the husband will remind everyone to "close the door and close the window, to prevent theft and theft." "As soon as the people heard it, they knew it was time to sleep.
From 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning, it is the third watch, and the voice of the newspaper at this time is generally "Lang Lang Yangshi, safe and sound." "There are two meanings of these words, the first is to tell everyone 'sleep in peace, I will patrol and guard you outside', and the other means that although it is dark at present, this is the yang world, and ghosts cannot run rampant, which is also the words of the husband to give himself courage.
From one o'clock in the morning to three o'clock is the fourth watch, this is the time when people sleep most soundly, and the husband will take the opportunity to be lazy, even if he is not lazy, he rarely shouts anything, so as not to disturb people's dreams, and occasionally he will say a few words such as "You sleep and I wake up, the weather is cold" and the like, which means to tell everyone that his work is very hard, and it is not easy to earn food.
Three o'clock to five o'clock is the fifth watch, the watchman began to be excited at this time, because he was about to get off work, at this time the bangzi knocked very happily, a piece of four slow, the shouting is also quite loud, shouting is "go to bed early and get up early, take care of your body", this sentence also has two meanings, one is to tell everyone to get ready to get up to work, and the other is to warn those who get up in the morning not to be greedy for the joy of the bed, so as not to empty the body.
The shouting of the watch is similar throughout the country, each is different, but there is absolutely no three watches in the middle of the night shouting "dry weather, be careful of the fire candle", because people in ancient times lived very hard, who was willing to light the candle oil lamp to the middle of the night, in addition to the watch is only Bangzi, very few gongs, just imagine, people sleep in Zhengxiang or the couple is making love in Dunlun, you are banging on the gong outside, the scolding is light, and people will come out to beat you.
Zuo Dengfeng became curious, swept up the roof, looked sideways at the husband walking on the street, and found that the husband was wearing a hat, covering most of his face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but this person was less than one meter seven, and his body was thin, so he was not a husband at first glance, because the husband was also a time-signal, fire prevention, and anti-theft in one, and he was required to be a strong big man.
In the middle of the night, why did this person with spiritual energy cultivation pretend to be a husband, Zuo Dengfeng had nothing to do at this time, so he followed him from a distance across the street, this husband walked very slowly, and there was no abnormal performance other than that.
Zuo Dengfeng's thinking is different from ordinary people, others need seventy percent of the phenomenon to launch the essence of things, he only needs fifty percent, first of all, this husband has not looked at the watch, nor has he looked up at the sky, but he has taken the time very accurately, almost no worse, which shows that this person is a Taoist rather than a martial arts person, because the Taoist can keenly judge the time, which is not possible for people who practice martial arts, in addition, this person's shouting is very accurate, what should be shouted he knows very well, and the tone is not jerky, Bangzi is not bad at all, which shows that he is often active at night, and the most important point is that this person deliberately hides his aura cultivation.
A cultivator who is often active at night deliberately hides his aura and pretends to be a husband, with only one purpose, that is, to catch ghosts.
Zuo Dengfeng is currently located in the area of Xicheng, belongs to a relatively backward urban area, most of the people who live are poor people, here is said that the garrison of the devil is relatively small, there are few patrols and soldiers, and the husband walks slowly in the moonlight, picks a secluded place and a deserted dilapidated house to linger and stop, stop and go, if there is something to find.
Jinan City is the largest city in Shandong, it stands to reason that even in the middle of the night there should be drunken ghosts and other people returning at night, but until the fourth watch day left the peak also did not find pedestrians on the street, the fourth watch day, the moon disappeared, the yin air was heavy.
Just when Zuo Dengfeng was about to lose his surname and wanted to find a place to rest, he suddenly felt the existence of a strong yin qi, concentrating on perception, and found that the yin qi came from a deserted and dilapidated house located in a dark corner not far away, there were three abandoned houses, the main house and the hall house were blown down in the war in the previous years, only the west house was left, and the courtyard wall of the house was still there, blocking the view from the outside.
"Don't worry, see what he does." Zuo Dengfeng Chong Thirteen said, Thirteen's perception ability at this time was greatly strengthened, and the existence of the Yin Soul could be found two miles away.
After a while, the husband noticed the abnormality in the abandoned house, and quickly moved towards the abandoned house, and at the same time took off the clothes he was wearing outside and the hat on his head, which made Zuo Dengfeng not expect that although this person was a cultivator, he was not a Taoist, but a bald monk, about the same age as him, wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, with Buddhist beads around his neck, and a yellow bowl in his hand.
Zuo Dengfeng has seen Taoist priests catch ghosts, but he has never seen monks catch ghosts, but at this moment he is not only curious but also a little worried, according to the yin qi he felt before, the ghost inside is definitely not an ordinary ghost, its yin qi is extremely heavy, this monk obviously did not survive the catastrophe, it is likely not to be its opponent,
