Zhong Xingwen strode out of front of the county yamen and went home along the street, when he was looking at the west street from a distance.

Gray Mian held the old man's ear with one paw, stood on tiptoe and looked at the departing Zhong Xingwen, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The number of Qi of this Zhong head catcher has also changed, although he is a mortal, although his martial arts are not outstanding, he is also worthy of admiration!"

"Yes!"

Yu Weng answered, looking at the figure of the public official over there and nodding slightly.

Zhong Xingwen over there hurried home, and before he arrived at home, he saw that his wife and children outside the courtyard gate were already looking at this side.

Seeing Zhong Xingwen come back, his wife breathed a sigh of relief, and then came out with his son to greet him, which also surprised the former slightly.

"What's wrong with you today? It's all out? ”

"Besides, I've been waiting here for a while, you should have come back a long time ago!"

The wife complained, and the son added on the side.

"Daddy, you should have come back more than a quarter of an hour ago, and my mother thought you were given by a ghost"

"Shhhh Children are not allowed to talk nonsense! ”

The woman covered the child's mouth, and it was better not to say more about ghosts, and then looked at her husband with a relieved look on her face.

"It's good to come back, the neighbors are spreading that the county government was haunted last night, and our rooster crowed together in the middle of the night last night, which is a little scary."

What the woman said was a little scary, not that the roosters crowed, but in fact, many roosters crow at the moment when righteousness was uplifted and evil was diminished, and even if many people were woken up, they would not be afraid.

The frightening thing in the woman's mouth was that she was afraid after hearing the words of her neighbors during the day today, and she was more relieved to see her husband at this moment.

Of course, Zhong Xingwen could also feel this, and could understand his wife's worries, and reached out to hug his wife's shoulder, making the woman's face hot.

"Outside."

When the family of three returned to the courtyard, Zhong Xingwen explained with a smile.

"There was indeed something wrong with the county government last night, but it wasn't as evil as it was rumored outside, and I'm fine, isn't it?"

The wife had a smile on her face, and her son was about to reach out to grab the knife to play, but Zhong Xingwen was also easily avoided, everything was the habit of the past, and the knife returned to the knife holder and the wide robe.

"Your lord of the yamen is really true, you have stayed up all night, and you will not let you return early!"

"Hahahaha, the county lieutenant said that I would return early, but I still have some official business to deal with, after all, the lord gave me a period of leave, and some of the things at hand have to be handed over to my colleagues to help!"

"Holiday?"

The woman had already returned to the kitchen door and began to pick celery, and she could not help but be shocked when she heard this.

"This is really unusual, and it's not a holiday for the New Year?"

"Hey, not only is it a holiday, but it's a long time, I've already informed a few adults and many colleagues, not to mention a month, just take this opportunity to go out to visit an old-timer, learn his tricks and a half!"

The woman frowned.

"Go out, can't you accompany me back to my parents' house first, I haven't been back for a long time."

Zhong Xingwen had already untied the chains hanging around his waist, put down the six-fold hat on his head, and walked over and squatted in front of his wife to help pick vegetable leaves.

"That's fine, yes, look!"

While talking, Zhong Xingwen took out a money bag and handed it to his wife like a trick, looking at the bulging money.

The woman put down the dish and took it with both hands, and the hand was heavy, and it had to feel like it was more than seven or eight pounds, and it should obviously be full of money.

"You won't."

The wife weighed the money bag in her hand, subconsciously looked at the child who had already come over to help pick vegetables, and then looked at her husband, and some words were difficult to ask.

She knew that today was definitely not the day when the county government would pay salaries, so where the money would come from.

"Xianggong, you."

Husbands and wives often influence each other, the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, women sometimes complain about their husbands, but they know what Zhong Xingwen is, and they really don't know how to speak at the moment.

Zhong Xingwen didn't quite understand at first, but then reacted and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahahaha. Lady, where do you want to go? See! ”

While speaking, Zhong Xingwen directly opened the money bag, there were not only a lot of copper coins in it, but also silver, a lot of official silver bars with one ingot, and two ingots looked relatively large!

"Lady, this is all the reward of the county government, last night's incident was a bit tiring, there are more than 120 taels of silver in it!"

"That's a lot. That's worth six or seven years' salary."

"Hahahaha, so, sit upright, get wealth, receive peace of mind, spend peace of mind, alas, what are you doing with a bitter face?"

Zhong Xingwen said this, and his wife finally smiled

"Daddy, can I eat a lot of sugar gourds?"

"Hey, what is the sugar gourd, this time I will accompany your mother back to my parents' house, and my father will buy you a sugar painting!"

"Oh! It's so good, it's so good~~~"

The child jumped on Zhong Xingwen's back and made a fuss, and his wife also went to hide the money with a smile.

Zhong Xingwen kept his balance and stretched out his hand to protect the child behind him, while looking at his wife's back, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Yu Weng and Gray Mian were outside the courtyard at the moment, but the Zhong Zhutou inside didn't know about it.

Looking through the crack in the door, the white-haired old man didn't bother, but he admired this kind of person more, and he would take a look more when he met it.

Even though there are many sinister and filthy things in the world, there are also many people like Zhong Xingwen, and the feelings of all beings in the turbidity constitute this red dust, and there are also many possibilities.

"Sir, I'll tell you the truth, I was quite nervous last night, for fear that the Dragon Monarch of the North Sea would come down to stir up trouble."

Ash Mian said this, but before Yu Weng could answer, it continued to talk to itself.

"But on second thought, for the black dragon, although he influenced this matter, it was at most a game that he occasionally glanced at, and he wouldn't care."

Yu Weng smiled.

"It's a worthless game for the Dragon King of the North Sea, but some people are born with waves and a magnificent life!"

——

In the evening, the Zhong family had dinner at home, and today's dinner was more sumptuous, and Zhong Xingwen also drank a little wine.

Although his current body is not suitable for drinking, Zhong Xingwen has something in his heart and is also angry, so he drinks a few more glasses.

"Zhong Catcher~~~Clock Catcher~~~"

A slightly familiar but also slightly muffled voice came from outside the courtyard, and Zhong Xingwen looked outside the door and stood up.

"I'll take a look!"

Zhong Xingwen walked quickly to the courtyard, looked at his wife and children who came over there, and then opened the courtyard door, the distant light from the living room was no longer obvious to the courtyard door, but the people outside the door were really easy to recognize.

"Daoist Xue? How did you get here? Shouldn't you be recuperating in the county office? ”

Zhong Xingwen was stunned, Xue Daochang couldn't get out of bed during the day, so he would come out?

Xue Daoren's face was not very good, but he still rushed here at this time, and when he heard Zhong Xingwen's words, he didn't explain too much, waved his hand and said straight to the point.

"Zhong Zhutou, I know what you are going to do, Poor Dao is indeed incapacitated, but I have to come to see you, otherwise you should leave tomorrow, right?"

"Me"

"Needless to say, give!"

Xue Daoren took out a few things from the cloth pocket he carried, a small copper coin sword wrapped in red rope, a few charms, and a few silver tickets.

"This, Daoist, what are you doing?"

Anything else is easy to understand, Qian Zhong Xingwen didn't want to accept it, but Xue Daoren's body was obviously worse than Zhong Xing's temperature, but his strength was not small, so he forced it into his hand.

"Take it, Poor Dao will tell you a few words, and you will listen well!"

Zhong Xingwen didn't dare to slack off, and went over with his ears.

"Although the ghost was exterminated by the poor road yesterday, but the coexistence of ghosts and demons yesterday was unusual, and the poor road suspected that even if you go to find a place, maybe there is still a ghost waiting for you."

"What?"

Zhong Xingwen was taken aback, how could he deal with a powerful ghost alone?

"Don't worry, this matter is not certain, and even if there is, it cannot be compared with yesterday's, it is an ordinary ghost, these things are enough to keep you safe! It's just that."

Xue Daoren's voice paused before continuing.

"It's just that maybe the ghosts over there can communicate, if you can see it appear, see if you can communicate, if not, protect yourself!"

"As for this silver ticket, it is a little bit of heart, leave a little money on the road, and leave the rest for your wife and children!"

Zhong Xingwen stuffed the silver ticket back into Xue Daoren's cloth pocket without looking.

"Zhong Mou's own reward is a lot, and there is no need for the Taoist to give it again, speaking of which, this is a matter within the scope of my public family, but the Taoist is the one who is involved in it, how do you need you to give me silver?"

Zhong Xingwen's voice was heavier, showing a feeling of being insulted, and then he bowed again.

"Dao Chief, please go back to recuperate, don't get your injuries worse, Zhong will send you back to the county office, you can go home if you want to!"

"No, no, no. Poor Dao has no intention of taking the head catcher lightly, okay, the poor road will go back by himself, please take care of the head catcher! ”

Xue Daoren also saluted back to Zhong Zhutou, the two straightened up and looked at each other and smiled, the former also turned to leave, although the pace didn't seem to be very steady, but the speed didn't seem to be slow.

Zhong Xingwen smiled and shook his head, the slightly heavy mood at the dinner table just now was a lot more relaxed, and Daoist Xue came to make him feel moved.

"This long, in the end, is a strange person, consumes so much and walks so fast"

Muttering, Zhong Xingwen also walked back to the courtyard and closed the courtyard door, and then walked in the direction of the living room, where his wife was already asking.

"Xianggong, who is it?"

"Oh, nothing, a friend said it by a passing pass."

Zhong Xingwen paused for half a moment after speaking, suddenly reached out and touched his arms, took out a few silver tickets from the diagonal seams of his clothes, and looked at them by the light of the lights, and the total amount of zero zero was more than two hundred taels!

He walked back to the courtyard gate quickly, opened the door and looked outside, but there was still any shadow of Xue Daoren!
