Chapter 21: Exploring the Abandoned Courtyard at Night
The biggest feature of the slums in the middle of the night is that it is dark, and if there is no moonlight, you can't see your fingers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not far away, the flower street in the North District is brightly lit, and the noise can be faintly heard.
In contrast, the slums are like an isolated world.
Qiao Fang looked around, tried not to alarm the other residents, and cautiously came to the Lin family's abandoned courtyard.
Dazhi is right, the Lin family's abandoned courtyard at night is really gloomy, with weeds all over the ground and dilapidated doors, making this place like a haunted house.
The system asked him to explore the Lin family's abandoned hospital, which means that there must be a problem here.
But the 400-point mission point made Qiao Fang guess that the problem here was definitely not an unjust soul.
The system said that if the side quests were released at the right time, it would inevitably not give Qiao Fang some tasks that he couldn't do, let alone let him fight with ghosts.
But even so, Qiao Fang looked at the dark inner hall, and couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
He took a deep breath and patted his chest a little hard to cheer himself up. Then he took off the stick behind his back and held it in his hand.
Then, Qiao Fang stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door of the inner hall.
With a creak, Qiao Fang's mind tightened and he stepped in.
The floor was full of tattered furniture, and a musty smell of ash came to his face, Qiao Fang pinched his nose and began to investigate.
He didn't know what he was looking for, what was wrong, so he had to check it out by feeling.
After patting the wall for a while, and sweeping with a stick, he walked the entire inner hall around, but he didn't find half a clue.
The whole house was covered with dust, and there was no sign of human life.
The light was dim again, Qiao Fang really had no choice, frowned, and said, "System, is there any hint." ”
If the system ignores it, that's it.
Qiao Fang's mind spun and he recalled what Dazhi had said.
said that someone saw a ghost here, but Qiao Fang was sure that there were no ghosts here, so what he saw was definitely a person.
Although there are many beggars in the slums, most of them are familiar with each other, and who lives here all the year round.
If a stranger comes in or out, it will definitely attract attention. But it's also possible that he came here at night like him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Fang couldn't think of a clue, and said: "That's it, it's useless to think too much, I will spend the night here today, and if I can't find a clue, I can only wait for the rabbit." Wait until dawn to find it again. ”
With this in mind, Qiao Fang walked to the courtyard and sat cross-legged, concentrating.
Idle and bored, Qiao Fang began to practice the exercises again.
The night is getting deeper and the wind is getting colder.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the inner hall, and Qiao Fang suddenly opened his eyes. It seems that he saw a figure flickering inside.
Immediately clenched the stick and got up to concentrate.
How could someone come out of it? Qiao Fang's mind turned sharply, and his heart lit up, could it be a secret door?
At this thought, the figure also walked out, dressed in black, with a cold face, and a man with long hair covering his face behind his back.
Qiao Fang's heart tightened, and he said, "Who are you!"
The man didn't expect that there were still people here, and he was also surprised, so he used light skills at the moment, jumped over, and wanted to climb over the wall.
Where was Qiao Fang willing to let him run, and rushed forward with the next lunge, swept the stick, and blocked his way.
Maybe it was because the movement was too big, and the person behind him snorted slightly, but her voice was crisp, like a woman.
Qiao Fang was startled, anger rose from his heart, and said coldly: "Put down the people behind you!"
The man was still silent when he heard this, but just looked at Qiao Fang coldly.
Qiao Fang stepped forward and said, "Can't you hear clearly?"
Hearing this, the man said coldly, "I don't want to entangle with you!"
"But I want to!" said that, Qiao Fang stepped forward with his stick again.
The man was carrying people on his back, and he had difficulty moving, so he had to dodge again and again. I was also secretly surprised by Qiao Fang's strength in my heart, when did there be such a young warrior in the slums?
Qiao Fang was afraid of hurting the woman behind him, so he kept his hands everywhere, resulting in a long time without attacking.
"Stop, stop fighting. Suddenly, the woman on the man's back said.
When Qiao Fang heard this, he said, "Girl, don't be afraid, I'll save you." ”
"You misunderstood, Brother Zhou saved me. Ahem. The girl said weakly.
"Don't speak, I'll send you away first. ”
Seeing this, Qiao Fang's face turned embarrassed, could it be that I really misunderstood?
But when he saw this, the man came out of the dark room with a weak woman on his back, and he really couldn't help but misunderstand.
The man snorted coldly and rushed away, Qiao Fang thought about it carefully, and chased him out.
There are ghosts in this matter, and it is related to slums, and Qiao Fang can't let it go.
The two ran all the way to the mountains behind the slums.
The man stopped and said, "What are you still chasing after me?"
Qiao has a question in his heart, and he hopes that his friend will answer it. ”
"There's nothing to answer. The man said, "I saved someone, but you stopped me, it's as simple as that." ”
Qiao Fang heard this: "Hey, you really can't blame me for this, you carried a weak woman on your back and came out of the house." Qiao had to think crookedly. ”
The man also understood, snorted coldly, gently put the woman on his back on the ground, and said, "Girl, I can only accompany you here, tomorrow morning, you go down the mountain and find a person named Li Hu, he will take care of you." ”
Hearing Li Hu's name, Qiao Fang exclaimed: "That girl calls you Brother Zhou? Could it be that you are Zhou He?"
Zhou He was stunned when he heard this, looked at Qiao Fang, and said, "Huh, do you know me?"
Qiao Fang laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "This is really my own family beating my own family." In Xia Qiaofang, he is the lord of the slum beggars. ”
"Beggar Gang?" Zhou He looked at Qiao Fang in surprise and said, "How could you?"
"Let's talk about it later, anyway, Li Hu is a member of my gang. Zhou Heyan nodded and said, "Why did you appear in that courtyard today?"
Qiao Fang heard this: "Today, we were looking for a place to attend classes again, and the courtyard was originally excellent. But Dazhi told me that it was haunted, so I would come and see what was going on. ”
"Class?" Zhou He asked.
"Yes, I'm teaching them to read and write. Qiao Fang said.
"Huh?" Zhou He was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "Who are you?
"You don't have to doubt me, I'll tell you about the purpose of building a gang later. The most urgent thing is this girl, what happened?"
Qiao Fang is a decent person, Zhou He thought about it, and said, "That's it, I'll tell you, so that you can protect Li Hu and them." ”
After a pause, he said: "This girl was captured by Boss He, and there is a tunnel under the abandoned courtyard, which is specially used to hold women." ”
"Huh?!" Qiao Fang said, "There is such a thing?"
"Well, I followed Boss He for three years and figured out his business. On the surface, he runs a brothel and casino, but in fact he is also engaged in human trafficking, and these girls are the victims. ”
"The ghost of that abandoned courtyard is me, I don't want anyone to live there, and I will save people if it is broken. Zhou Hedao.
"Oh, how can you save it?" Qiao Fang asked when he heard this.
