Chapter 188: The Strange Man Appears

Lang Xiaobai carefully checked the situation around before returning to the manor. It was getting brighter. Xie Yan and Juanzi couldn't sleep all night due to panic. As soon as they saw Lang Xiaobai returning, the sisters rushed forward and asked:

"Where have you been?"

"I took a look at the scene of the incident last night."

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes. The big rock fell on its own. The rocks in that place had been loosened, so the rocks had fallen. Don't be afraid, and don't take this matter to heart. ”

In order to appease the inner turmoil of the two sisters, Lang Xiaobai deliberately said this. But Juanzi and Xie Yan were still worried and uneasy.

"Really? But our hearts are still uneasy! Just now, the two of us were still discussing whether to go back to Dongzhou immediately, so it would be safer. ”

"I understand the frustration of both of you at this time. However, you have already announced that you will return to Dongzhou on September 12, so please hold on for a few more days! By the twelveth, I promise to catch the culprit and find the document that records the method of refining gold. ”

Lang Xiaobai said confidently.

"Today is the Fourth of September, and you have to wait another week. I hope you two sisters have the courage to persevere. ”

September 5th, 6th, 7th, and September 8th were all uneventful, and there were no accidents on September 9. The two sisters began to tell Ah Cai and Ah Qiao to hurry up and pack up for them.

On September 10, Xie Yan went to the town to buy daily necessities. After returning, she found Lang Xiaobai sitting on the boat with a fishing rod beside her. About 20 meters away from him, Juanzi was sitting leisurely on the lawn. Xie Yan came to her sister's side with a spring breeze on her face and also sat in the grass.

Lang Xiaobai stuck his head out of the small boat and stared intently at the fish mark floating on the water. But in fact, instead of staring at the fish, he was lost in thought, as if he were attracted by something underwater.

After a while, Lang Xiaobai raised his head and saw the two sisters sitting on the lawn, so he said with a smile:

"Madame, when did you return...... What do you think? Would you like to come and sit on the boat for a while? It's so cozy!"

Talking and laughing, he rowed the boat toward the riverbank, and let the sisters get on board.

"Is there a fish on the hook?"

"No...... But, oh, by the way, do you have everything you need to go back to Dongzhou?"

"Yes, almost."

"Be sure to be ready by tonight, because we'll be on our way tomorrow morning at ten o'clock."

"Didn't you say that you won't return to Dongzhou until the twelfth? It's just the 11th tomorrow!"

"I know. Let's go to the countryside tomorrow for a while, stay there for one night, and then go back to Dongzhou directly on the 12th. Because of this mysterious case, the two of you are constantly nervous, and in order to relax your mind, I will take you to the picturesque scenery of the countryside to play to your heart's content. ”

"Thank you so much, but what about that mystery case?"

"It's been dealt with!"

"When? The result?"

"I'll tell you more about it later! Now I'm going to check the car so I don't have a problem with it when I hit the road tomorrow. ”

The group of three of them came to the place where Lang Xiaobai parked his car when he first arrived here. The car is in good condition, the engine is very good, and the fuel tank is full of petrol.

Lang Xiaobai waved his hand with the two sisters, and came to the farmhouse where Xiao Bin lived.

"Maybe it's going to be busier tomorrow! Unexpected things may happen, so we need to take care of them. ”

After dinner, the two of them went to bed. After a while, Xiao Bin fell asleep.

After confirming that Xiao Bin had slept in prison, Lang Xiaobai quietly climbed out of bed. He carried a wooden ladder leaning against the eaves of the farmhouse on his shoulders and crept to the back door of the manor. Lang Xiaobai put the ladder close to the fence and climbed up. Then he kicked the ladder open, and it fell on the haystack.

Lang Xiaobai hid in the woods, paying close attention to the wind and grass around him. The bright moonlight poured on the grass like flowing water.

The autumn insects were "chirping" and singing, and after a while the sound became louder, and then their chanting mingled together as if it were raining.

Lang Xiaobai lay there and spied motionless for nearly half an hour.

In the manor, the lights were turned off in every room.

"Xie Yan turned off the light, and Juanzi also turned on the light, I wonder if they can sleep peacefully?"

Lang Xiaobai knew very well that the two sisters had been overly nervous for several days. Therefore, Lang Xiaobai was very concerned about them, afraid that they would not be able to sleep.

There is an elusive demon who is waiting for an opportunity to secretly kill the two of them. When will this demon appear? Maybe tonight, he's lurking in a corner of the yard, hiding his face with his horrible hat, waiting for the right moment to burrow into their house!

That strange man who looks like a demon alien must know that they will be back to Dongzhou tomorrow, so tonight is the hardest time and the most terrifying! If they take it lightly, the Xie Yan sisters will have to worry about their lives...... Thinking of this, Lang Xiaobai was as uneasy as a needle prick.

The moonlight shone brightly on the land, but the great green forest was dark. There were a few places in the trees that looked as if they were leaking silver waterfalls, the result of moonlight pouring down through the cracks in the branches.

Lang Xiaobai looked at the surrounding situation without moving.

At this time, there was silence between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, his nerves tensed. For he felt that there was a swarthy thing moving slowly forward on the other side of the forest.

Lang Xiaobai held his breath and stared at the forest tightly. In the forest, there seems to be an object leaning against the trunk of a tree. Lang Xiaobai wasn't sure if it was a person or a part of the trunk of the big tree.

However, he did not dare to take it lightly, and still stared at the big tree very seriously. At that moment, he noticed the shadow move slightly...... Look at it again...... Wow! It's really people on the move......

The man's movements were very gentle, and he didn't care if the branches swayed. Now, the shadow continued to move. When Lang Xiaobai looked at it again, the man was already leaning over on the ground and was crawling forward.

The monster slowly shifted its body away from the woods, into the meadow, and then onto the grave-paved path. When they reached the grit road, they saw the monster stand up and walk forward. Well, that's really a person, and a weird person.

Lang Xiaobai moved cautiously in the bushes, quietly following the man, still holding a black and shiny pistol tightly in his hand.

The strange man walked forward slowly, from the road paved with white sand grains to the lush grass, and Lang Xiaobai followed him silently.

The road paved with white sand grains continues to a small mound next to a dilapidated greenhouse that is on the verge of collapse. When they reached the mound, the strange man crawled to the ground again and slowly climbed up.

Lang Xiaobai stopped and looked around again, preparing to jump behind the tree as soon as the strange man turned his head. But the strange man did not look back once, climbed up like a frog, and then disappeared from the bushes on the mound.

Lang Xiaobai also quietly came to the hills, but he couldn't find the strange man anywhere.
