Chapter 192: The County Government
"Knock—— knock!
"Sound the gong to inform, close the doors and windows, the weather is dry, and be careful of the candles!" accompanied by three gongs, one slow, two fast, the watchman shouted loudly, passing through the dark street.
"Smack!"
A tile suddenly fell from the eaves, and a crisp cracking sound could be heard far away in the silent night.
The watchman was startled and hurriedly looked at the roof of the fallen tiles. In the moonlight, a pointed ear faintly peeked out of the beam, followed by a cat's meow.
"Whose wild cat is spring again!"
The watchman breathed a sigh of relief, muttered a few curses, and left without paying much attention to the gong, and his back gradually disappeared into the corner of the street in the distance.
After a while, there was another sound of bricks moving on the roof, and a figure jumped from the roof, somewhat unskillfully. He circled around vigilantly, then quickly and lightly left, disappearing into the shadows of the house.
The county town at midnight was truly silent, except for the occasional cat jumping on the rooftops, and the rats running in the streets foraging for food, not even a single drunkard or beggar could be seen.
In the house of an unknown big family, Bai Ze wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
The half-human-tall big dog whimpered and trembled and lay beside him, looking at this honest look, he couldn't imagine that this was a yard wolf dog that was fierce and fierce in his daily life.
Drinking a bottle of mineral water and stuffing the bottle back into the storage bag in an environmentally friendly way, Bai Ze looked at the endless buildings in front of him, and the faint barking of dogs, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
On TV, even if it is just a flower thief with triangular cat kung fu, he can fly the eaves and walk the wall at will without being discovered by ordinary people, and the masters have reached the chic and handsome realm of light skill water floating, stepping on snow without traces, and not sticking to the leaves.
But when I got here, I didn't go far in the house, not to mention the loud noise, and the bricks and tiles fell to the ground crackling, and I was almost found by beating up, and finally I was fooled by learning to meow, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"When I have time, I have to bury a few plum blossom piles and step on them", he secretly made up his mind in his heart.
But fortunately, there has been a thrilling entry into the center of the city where large families are concentrated, and now it is good to find the Zhou Mansion where the pimple face is located. Bai Ze relied on his hearing that was far more sensitive than ordinary people and the ghost eyes that could see at night, and climbed over the courtyard wall to another courtyard.
The life of the rich people is indeed different from that of the poor people outside, passing through several mansions one after another, and there are many more movements and traces of people and animals than before.
Not to mention the nursing dogs that almost every family raises, and the room where the candlelight is still lit at the time of the third watch, Bai Ze saw several houses one after another, and the shadows reflected on the window paper were all writing and drawing, and they should be scholars who read at night.
These guys who still don't sleep at night also increase the difficulty of Bai Ze's search in disguise. The dog is okay, and the demon will naturally be honest when it is released, but those scholars are at the age of vigorous energy, and they will notice the slightest disturbance, and they may come out to check.
After searching a few houses, Bai Ze realized that it was not a way to continue looking for it like this, the efficiency was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, and if the pimple face was not at home tonight, all the efforts would be in vain.
"In fact, as long as there is a big incident in the county town and leave clues, it can also serve the purpose of showing muscles, and a strong race will have more transaction value than a lone ranger. ”
After feeling the abundant demonic energy in his body and the almost zero restrictions in the city, and then thinking of the words he heard when he climbed the city wall, more and more bold thoughts arose in Bai Ze's mind.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people, the inner courtyard of the Yamen, although it has been carefully cleaned, but the house that has not been inhabited for a long time is still full of musty smell, Sun Xianling is lying on the hardwood bed tossing and turning, and his eyes are often looking towards the main hall.
In the breeze, the faint cry of the fox "Woo~Woo~" kept coming, and he couldn't help but feel a little urgent when he heard it.
Turning out the urinal from under the bed, Zhang Xianling squeezed out a few drops intermittently, and there were a lot of them on his hands, so he was really unlucky to get home.
Without the service of the beauties of his past, he had to come to the dressing rack and wipe it with a towel, and the whimpering of the fox in the distance seemed to be louder, so that the evening breeze that squeezed in through the crack in the door made the person a little cold, and the exposed skin couldn't help but have a layer of fine goosebumps.
"The county is in the county government to suppress the fox demon, what kind of bullshit is this! In addition to being able to speak, the fox demon is obviously not at all powerful, Zhang Ying, this bold man, must be playing tricks on me!"
Zhang Xianling returned to the hardwood bed, and the fear in his heart turned to anger against the perpetrator.
"Ahh
The sharp scream suddenly came, which frightened Zhang Xianling, and hurriedly tightened the quilt, until the back of the patrol officer passed by the window, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this kind of fearful days, I don't know how long it will be, and Zhang Ying has to catch more fox demons and put them in the lobby, the more Sun Xianling thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.
"The humble Orion, just lucky to win the favor of the Holy Lord for a while, dares to point fingers at the hundred-mile Venerable of this mansion, and when this matter is over, you will definitely be doomed!"
Before the cruel words were finished, there was a sudden commotion in the lobby, and someone shouted: "It's on fire!
Zhang Xianling hurriedly jumped up from the bed, lay in front of the window and looked out, sure enough, black smoke rose from the front, and soon the firelight was clearly visible.
In the main hall of the county ya, the mirror hangs four big characters in the firelight, flashing with the brilliance of unknown meaning, the county seal and token are neatly placed on the table, the two drainage fire sticks are leaning on both sides of the hall, and there is a huge iron cage in the center, and the gray-haired little fox is locked in with a painful face.
The fire in the front room seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, illuminating everything in the hall clearly, and a young man with a bow and arrow, and two knives hanging from his waist, walked out of the back hall unhurriedly.
"I can't imagine that my father-in-law has miscalculated, you fox demons really dare to come to save your companions!" the young man's eyes showed excitement, but he suddenly closed his eyes.
"What a heavy demon! Father-in-law has probably never seen such a powerful monster!"
He opened his eyes in surprise, looking a little flustered, and hurriedly opened his bow and arrow, aiming not far outside the door.
"Come on, someone, there's a monster coming!" the young man immediately shouted for help.
This sentence seemed to anger the monster outside the door, and a white-haired claw suddenly stretched out from the door, tearing down the door fiercely, and slamming it towards the young man.
The door came too quickly, and Rao was not slow to react, or was hit in one leg.
The sound of cracking bones and breaking wood rang out, and the young man snorted in pain and gritted his teeth. Seeing that there seemed to be a black shadow flashing outside the door, he resisted the pain in his heart, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and turned to aim at the little fox in the cage in the lobby.
