"Ahh

In the darkness of the night, screams struck, crimson blood splattered on his face, and in front of him were two bulging eyeballs, staring at him deadly.

On the left, several people were strung together by the sword, and the blood flowed down the sword body to the hilt, and then to the hand.

Behind him, the arrow feather pierces the window paper and nails a doll to the wall.

Countless black-clad masked men slaughtered unarmed civilians in front of their eyes.

"What about me? Why can I only watch? Why? ”

He shouted.

Then, he woke up, touched his neck, sweat on his hand, and gasped as fast as he could, as if he had not yet recovered from the scene he had just had.

After a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly calmed down, and looked out the window, and there was already a little light on the horizon.

"It's a dream again......"

He sighed softly.

He slowly got up from the bed, and in the quiet summer night, only the sound of cicadas was particularly noisy.

Next to the bed was an old robe, and he looked at it and fell into deep thought.

This was his master's robe, and later, when the master died, the robe was passed on to him.

They are very poor, and the only poor thing is this robe, so that wherever he goes, he will not throw it away.

He stood quietly by the window, for some reason, feeling a little uncomfortable, he was not a pessimistic person, on the contrary, he was optimistic, even a little too optimistic.

"Could it be that the mood was affected by the strange dream just now?"

He shook his head, stretched, and muttered to himself

"Well, no matter, let's sleep a little longer."

With that, he jumped on the bed again and fell asleep.

He is such an optimistic person, no matter how big the negative emotion, it seems that he always turns his head and forgets it.

Outside the window, several masked black shadows passed silently, but they did not wake him up.

"Sleeping again?"

"Yes, when?"

"What are you anxious about, the boss said that we want to wait for the landlord's order, do more things, and talk less!"

"Yes!"

June 3rd

The sun was streaming in through the window and hitting his big ass.

He felt a hot sensation in his ass, and then moved his fat body into the bed.

But the sun didn't seem to let him go, and it was still eating away at his bed little by little, until it completely forced him into a corner.

His face was very impatient, and he did it all at once, and his little eyes were full of anger at the sunlight that occupied all the places in his bed, and then, with a helpless sigh, he crawled to the side of the bed, took off the old robe, and put it on his body.

"Sting"

Body, a line was stretched out on the back of the robe, and he looked at his fat body in distress, and said helplessly

"Damn, it's a little fatter again."

He regretted a little that he shouldn't have stolen the chicken from Aunt Li's house yesterday.

In the room, there was a fortune-telling banner in the corner, and there were many fortune-telling guys on the table, he smiled slightly, packed up all the guys who were eating, held the fortune-telling flag, pushed open the door, and walked out of the house.

"Fortune telling! Fortune telling! Don't ask for money......"

He walked slowly around the village, wandering around the village casually, as usual.

"Phew, Zhang Fatzi, I came out again to cheat and deceive."

He passed by a house, but saw the woman of the house scolding him.

He retorted

"The lady of the Liu family, you can't mess with my reputation, I am an authentic disciple of the Taoist sect, ask for marriage and ask about the future, get rid of evil spirits, massage the bones, and be proficient in everything, just say that the third uncle of your family, I said that he will not live to be thirty years old, how about it, he fell to death last month."

As he spoke, the lady of the Liu family smashed a spoon on his fat face.

"If you dare to mention this, I'll kill you!"

"Ai Ai, the lady of the Liu family, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth!"

He ran away.

"Yo, Fat Zhang, was beaten again? I said you, it's just a mouth, the people in the village are looking for you to tell the hexagram, there is no good word, either the disaster of blood and light or there is a catastrophe in fate, you say, which fortune teller dares to calculate like this, thanks to the simplicity of the people in our village, otherwise, you would have already peeled off the skin and hung it at the head of the village. ”

A lame middle-aged man saw him running over in embarrassment, and laughed and teased.

Zhang Fatzi pointed to the lame middle-aged man and said

"Cripple Chen, you can't say that, I only tell the truth, those charlatans, how can they be compared with me, you see, I said that you would break your leg within three years, and I said it."

Chen was furious, raised his cane, and made a gesture to knock him on the head

"I'll kill you with a crow's mouth, if it weren't for your crow's mouth, how could I really have a broken leg!"

Zhang Fatzi said with a smile while dodging flexibly

"I'm so accurate for you, and you still want to call me a liar, it's really unconscionable."

Chen Cripple's face changed, put away his crutches, and said in a deep voice

"You calculated so accurately, how could you not count the tragedy of the Gu Mansion a year ago!"

Zhang Fatzi was also silent, and Chen Cripple said again

"You always say that you have great powers, and after a year, have you ever figured out who killed the Gu family?"

Chen Cripple still didn't speak when he saw him

"Don't talk about this, you came to the north two years ago, you don't have to say anything about you, General Gu was tragically destroyed a year ago, the boy disappeared, and Zhoujia Village was destroyed. It's all a trivial matter for me to break my leg, what if you figure it out, what if you can't figure it out, you know it well, the people in the village scolded you, but it wasn't because you said these nonsense. ”

Zhang Fatzi changed his playful color and said seriously

"I'll find out about these things."

"No need!"

In the distance, a tall middle-aged man walked over.

"Village Chief."

Zhang Fatzi said.

The man known as the village chief said slowly

"Recently, Chang An, who cracked the case of the Gu family's extermination, came to the city, and it is estimated that he will come to our village in the next two days, and the city lord invited him to investigate the case of Zhoujia Village.

"Chang'an!"

Zhang Fatzi exclaimed

"That the world's number one master, Chang An? He's actually coming here? ”

The village chief nodded

"Since Chang'an is here, naturally everything is easy to do."

Zhang Fatzi said angrily

"Village Chief, I'm an authentic ...... Daomen"

Unexpectedly, the village chief directly waved his hand to interrupt his words

"You've been checking for so long, and you can't find it, you can't count it, so forget it."

Zhang Fatzi wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Chen Cripple, and after the village chief left, Chen Cripple said in a low voice

"You also know that the village chief's daughter married into Zhoujia Village and died in that tragedy, so long, it is understandable that the village chief is anxious to find out the truth."

Zhang Fatzi's heart felt as if he had been beaten, and his whole body was stagnant, and the appearance of a gentle woman suddenly came to his mind.

He vaguely remembered the girl who had a very simple smile, who always sat in front of the village chief's house, fiddling with the puppets, she was a clever girl, and the puppets were so lifelike that she would always ask him whenever he passed by the door

"Brother Yuguan, it's good for you to calculate a hexagram for my puppet, and see what its fate is in this life?"

His name is Zhang Yuguan, because he was born white and fat, everyone calls him Zhang Fatzi, after a long time, only when she calls him Yuguan's brother, he will remember that his name is Zhang Yuguan.

At this time, he would always stop, stand in front of her, and seriously count her newly made puppet, in this northern land, she is the only one who can be regarded as his best friend.

Before she knew it, she walked to the door of the village chief's house, but saw that the gate that had been open in the past was now closed, and since she left, there was no reason for the door to remain open.

"The beautiful woman has passed away, and life and death are boundless."

He let out a long sigh.

At the head of the village in the distance, there was suddenly a child's scream, and his face suddenly became urgent, and he hurried towards the village.

When he reached the head of the village, he saw an old man surrounded by many children, looking at the old man expectantly.

"Later, later!"

The child monkeys asked, grabbing the old man's patched sleeves.

The old man said mysteriously with a gloomy face

"Later, when the Liu official walked in the alley at night, he saw two fair women in front of him, standing at the door, and he didn't know why, he suddenly remembered what his friend said to him, and he thought, these two such beautiful women, don't they go home in the middle of the night, isn't it very weird......"

Zhang Yuguan hurriedly ran to the children's pile and grabbed a child's bench, causing the child to cry immediately.

"Wow......!"

"Fat Zhang, you bully people again!"

The older child on the side was full of anger and pointed at him and scolded.

Zhang Yuguan didn't care about their children, and looked at the old man hurriedly and said

"Old man Lin, go on."

Old man Lin stopped talking, looked at Zhang Yuguan, and said impatiently

"Fat Zhang, you are lazy all day long, and you bully the small, besides, you have heard all these stories, so you can't let the children listen to them."

"That's it, you've heard it all, it's time for us to listen."

The surrounding children all looked at Zhang Yuguan angrily.

Old man Lin sighed and looked at Zhang Yuguan with a smile

"Back then, these stories were used by the village chief's girl to perform a puppet show, but unfortunately, now I can't see her puppet show."

Zhang Yuguan bowed his head

"Old man Lin, you know I didn't want to hear the story......"

Old Man Lin looked at him and shook his head

"That's it, kids, let's get the story done."

"Good!"

The children around them sat down again excitedly.

"Excuse me, this is Yellow Leaf Village?"

At this moment, a young man in brocade with a sword stood outside the village, smiling and asking Old Man Lin and the others.

Old man Lin turned his head, but saw the appearance of the young man, and said

"yes, you are?"

The boy laughed

"In Xia Chang'an, at the invitation of the city lord, I came to investigate the affairs of Zhoujia Village."

Old man Lin jumped up all of a sudden, his face was flushed, and his wrinkled hands rubbed back and forth on his old clothes several times before he cautiously stretched out his hands and held Chang An's hand tightly

"It's your wait!"

Then he excitedly shouted to the children behind him

"Go and tell the village chief that Chang'an is here!"

A few of the children ran out as if they were flying.

Zhang Yuguan behind him was disdainful and muttered

"Isn't it just Chang'an, except that he looks better than me, it's just that."

In the distance, Chang An's face was stagnant, and with his current internal strength, he could naturally clearly hear the fat Taoist priest's muttering, and then walked up and said with a smile

"Hello, my name is Chang An, please ask the name of Changgao."

"In the lower door, Zhang Yuguan is also."

Chang An's face changed, but it became a little weird, Zhang Yuguan saw that his face was uneasy, and he was happy at the moment.

"Why, have you heard of the name below?"

Chang An's face changed again, and he smiled

"Daomen Zhangjia, naturally everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, how can I not hear of it."

Zhang Yuguan proudly cocked Erlang's legs, and when he heard the other party boasting like this, he naturally didn't want to snub the other party anymore

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that there is Chang An in case of indecision, the name of the head of the Chang family, and Zhang is also like thunder."

It didn't take long for the village chief to hurry to the entrance of the village with a group of old people in the village.

When the village chief saw Chang An, he knelt down straight and shouted

"Chang Daxia, you must be the master for us!"

Immediately, a group of old people behind him also knelt down, making Chang An cry and laugh, and hurriedly helped the village chief up, and said

"Village chief, no, since I'm here, I want to find out about this case."

Immediately, after a period of greetings, Chang An was surrounded by everyone and led into the village.

Only Zhang Yuguan was left standing alone at the head of the village, Zhang Yuguan glanced at everyone and said dissatisfied

"Hmph, what's the big deal, I'm here to see if it's my Zhang family's powerful methods, or if you're Chang'an smarter."

After saying that, he hurried back.

Back in the house, he rummaged through the room for a long time, and at last, from the corner of the cupboard, he found an old puppet, which he held with a trembling hand.

It was a puppet she had given him as a reward for his fortune-telling, and he had not been willing to take it out since her death.

After a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind

"Xiaocui, I tried a lot of methods, but I can't figure out who harmed Zhoujia Village, I can't do anything else, it's just that this is the only thing you left me, I am reluctant to destroy it, but now I ......"

His complexion changed, and he restrained his laughter, took out a brazier, and set the table into an altar.

He made up his mind to throw the puppet into the brazier.

But when he heard a "squeak", someone pushed the door in, Zhang Yuguan turned his head to look, but saw Chang An looking at him with a smile

"Brother Zhang, who are you?"

Zhang Yuguan's face was stunned and silent, Chang An saw the puppet in his hand and asked curiously

"What is this?"

Zhang Yuguan, who had made up his mind, saw Chang An's arrival, but once again got up, only to see his complexion change several times, and finally sighed lightly and said

"This is a puppet made by Xiao Cui."

"Cui?"

Chang An asked.

Zhang Yuguan said

"Xiaocui is the daughter of the village chief, and she married to Zhoujia Village more than a year ago."

Chang'an is stagnant

"So, Miss Xiaocui has ......"

Chang An saw Zhang Yuguan's lonely expression, and immediately guessed that Xiaocui and Zhang Yuguan had a great relationship, so he comforted him

"Brother Zhang, the deceased is gone, let's mourn."

Immediately, he saw the altar and brazier in front of him, and immediately figured out what Zhang Yuguan wanted to do, and said

"Brother Zhang, this is the Taoist Tianmu Technique!"
