Late at night, because the snow began to fall, the shops and houses on the road were closed.

Chu was walking down the street, his sideburns sticking to some crushed snow on his forehead.

He looked at the courtyard in the distance and fell into deep thought.

That courtyard was the house where he lived.

At this time, in Chu Zheng's mind, he suddenly recalled the abnormal state that appeared when refining the Yuan Pill today.

Fifteen furnaces of elixir were refined, but only the first furnace succeeded.

The next fourteen furnaces, without exception, were all smelted.

Before, Chu Zheng thought that it might be a coincidence, but now that he has experienced some things, he has come back to his senses a little.

If it's a coincidence, it's a bit too much of a coincidence.

Chu Zheng pondered in place for a moment, and then began to walk around the courtyard.

Because of the snow, the streets are obscured, and the ground around it has been dyed white.

But because of his heart, Chu Zheng found something wrong in one location.

In one alley, the ground is a little sunken compared to the others.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Zheng's brows furrowed.

His speculation seems to be about to come true.

He walked over and crouched down in the uneven spot to brush away the snowflakes.

As the snowflakes lifted, Chu Zheng noticed something strange.

In the alleys here, a lot of the soil has been stepped on, and the soil on it is black.

The soil in front of me is yellow, and it is obviously new soil.

If someone else sees this, I'm afraid they won't care so much.

But Chu Zheng experienced the matter of alchemy refining, but he had to think about it more.

"Someone is deliberately hiding their traces, is it true that someone is dying here?" Chu Zheng frowned when he saw this new layer of soil.

Someone nearby committed murder, which was not a good thing for him.

You must know that his sister is just an ordinary person and has not practiced martial arts.

Then, Chu Zheng brushed aside the fine snow nearby, and sure enough, he saw a lot of traces of the old soil being peeled off.

This also made him feel more uneasy.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng's eyes froze and looked at one place.

He reached out and broke open a layer of old dirt on the surface.

As the old soil was broken, a small piece of pitch-black blood stain was revealed at the corner between the new soil and the old soil.

The corners of Chu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally just guessed that there was a murder in his neighborhood, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Do you want to tell Xu Rong about this matter?" Chu Zheng pondered for a moment, and then denied the idea.

Now he doesn't know who the murderer is, and now that he is looking for Xu Rong, it is very likely that he will remember the murderer.

In addition, Chu Zheng also felt that when this person killed someone, he would also clean up the crime scene, and it was probably not an impulsive killing.

It's vendettas, love killings, and so on.

If such a person has no enmity with the other party, the other party should not find trouble for himself.

Of course, if this person is a conditional killing, then that's another story.

But I'll have to wait a while to see if there is any news of the deceased in the neighborhood.

Chu Zheng shook his head, stood up, stretched out his foot and stepped the small puddle of pitch-black blood into the mud.

No matter who this person is, if he dares to disturb his own life, he must be good-looking!

When Chu Zheng arrived at the courtyard, it was dark all around.

At the same time, he suddenly saw a faint oil lamp in his house, emitting a subtle glow in the night.

Chu Zheng paused in place for a moment, and then walked towards the house.

Then he saw his sister sleeping at the table under a quilt.

Chu Zheng sighed lightly and stepped forward.

"Hmm......" Chu Qingqing seemed to sense the movement and slowly opened his eyes.

"Zheng'er, you're back." When she saw Chu Zheng, she immediately smiled.

"Sister, I don't have to wait here. It's so cold, what if it's freezing. Chu Zheng said helplessly.

He felt that his sister was a little too fond of her body, and when she was in the wild, she was like this, thinking about giving herself the good food. Thinking about helping yourself carry more things.

"It's okay, I'm covered with a quilt." A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qingqing's mouth, and he pointed to the quilt on his back and said.

"Sister, it's snowing outside." Chu Zheng shook his head.

"Is it snowing?" When Chu Qingqing heard this, he was slightly stunned and looked out the window.

Outside, it was dark and dark, and naturally she couldn't see it clearly, but she could feel the chill in it.

Winter was supposed to be her first days, because she could see the snow that she hadn't seen for a long time.

But it wasn't until this disaster that she realized the ruthlessness of winter.

"How many more people are going to die here?" Chu Qingqing's heart had the same thoughts as Chu Zheng.

"Sister, go and rest." Chu Zheng patted Chu Qingqing, who was a little stunned, and said.

"Well, you get some rest early, too." Chu Qingqing nodded, stood up, and walked towards the room.

But halfway through, she paused, looked at Chu Zheng, opened her mouth, and looked like she wanted to speak again.

"What's wrong, sister." Chu Zheng looked at Chu Qingqing with some doubts.

"Nothing." Chu Qingqing shook his head, "It's better to come back early in the future, it's too late and it's not safe." ”

Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Well, I'll be careful." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Sister, you should also be more careful, if you meet any strange people, you can tell me." It's almost the Chinese New Year recently, and the neighborhood may not be peaceful. ”

"Hmm." Chu Qingqing nodded and walked towards the room.

After entering the room, she lay on the bed, staring at the beams with her eyes, but she had lost the slightest sleep.

Originally, she was going to talk to Chu Zheng about her murder today.

But she thought of her mother-in-law's entrustment, and the other party asked her not to tell anyone about this matter, including her younger brother.

"Granny Yu......" Chu Qingqing murmured in her heart.

When she was found out after she killed someone, she fell into a panic, and even thought of the scene of her future beheading.

However, who knows, it was Granny Yu who bumped into her murder.

This left her in a state of confusion.

In particular, Chu Qingqing saw the treatment scene of Granny Yu's familiar car and transported the body away.

It's even more confusing.

She never thought that the old woman who had to watch the stringing for a long time would be so skilled in the work of eliminating corpses and destroying traces.

"It's going to be fine." What Granny Yu said at the beginning rang in her ears.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingqing suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and his eyelids gradually became heavy, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Chu Zheng, who was outside the house, sat on the bed, looked at the oil lamp in front of him, and was silent for a long time.

I don't know why, Chu Zheng always felt that his sister seemed to be hiding something from him.

Then he shook his head, not thinking about it again.

If my sister had to say it, it would definitely be said.

If the other party doesn't say it, or if there is anything unspeakable, you can ask your sister-in-law tomorrow.

Immediately, Chu Zheng washed up, blew out the oil lamp, and went to bed.

The entire courtyard was plunged into darkness.

And at this moment, on the eaves, a huge black shadow suddenly stood up.

In the darkness, a pair of pitch-black pupils were revealed.

"Really...... And ......" made a hoarse and strange cry from its mouth.

As if sensing something was wrong, it stopped and muttered again.

"Positive...... Hmmm......"

It shook its head violently and continued to scream.

But its voice grew quieter.

"Positive...... ...... children"

"Zheng'er...... You're back......"

In the dark night, Chu Qingqing's voice appeared strangely.

It seemed that he was calling Chu Zheng in a hurry, as if he was in some danger.

It seemed somewhat satisfied, stood up, stepped over the roof, and ran towards the other houses.

In the darkness, a layer of black-yellow fur was only slightly revealed, and then it was gone.

As it left, inside the house, a pair of red glass-like eyes also looked away.

In the room, Li Hongchen looked at Chu Zheng lying on the bed expressionlessly, his dark hair slowly squirmed, climbed onto the bed, wrapped around Chu Zheng's neck, and then slowly tightened like a python.

"Hmm......" Chu Zheng's face gradually turned red, and green tendons began to appear on his forehead.

However, I don't know why, at this time, he didn't mean to wake up at all.

And Li Hongchen, who was on the side, was still staring at him with a facial expression, and he didn't mean to stop.

It wasn't until Chu Zheng's face turned a little purple that his hair slowly dispersed.

Immediately, Li Hongchen sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down slightly, approached Chu Zheng, and wisps of pure true qi followed Chu Zheng's mouth and entered his body.

Yang must be yang, my uncle went to test it, and he was positive.

I don't go out much lately...... To lie in bed is to sleep, and day and night are reversed.

When you're hungry, you can eat your own noodles.

If it's takeout, I won't order it anymore, I'm afraid of collecting another card.

At the same time, I don't want to infect others.

By the way, I feel much better today, my body is no longer feverish, and my head doesn't hurt much.

It's just that the cough can't be stopped......

Itchy lungs and throat......

Uncomfortable tight,

I hope you will pay attention to it and don't get infected.

Don't feel like XG is a trifle.

XG Some people say it's a big flu, so they don't take it to heart.

You know, the flu itself is more serious than a cold.

Not to mention the big flu.

So pay more attention, especially the elderly at home, and pay more attention to those with underlying diseases.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome.

2022 is also coming to an end, and I wish you all good health next year.

PS: 2500 today, try 4000 tomorrow
