Chapter Seventy-One: The Visit
It was dark early in the late autumn, and Hachi was dragged from the house to the hall by Red Qiang to eat together. As soon as the two of them had eaten a few bites, Xiao Er, the shopkeeper who brought breakfast to Xiao Hachi, ran over.
"Guest officer, I'm fine, when do you want to leave?" asked Xiao Er, hunching his waist.
Seeing that Xiao Er was coming, Xiao Hachi put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Then let's go now." Then he turned to Red Qiang and said, "Red Qiang, go back and rest when you're done, I have something to go out." ”
Red Rose opened her eyes wide and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Hachi said, "It's nothing, just to visit a friend." ”
Hongqiang grabbed Xiaoba's arm and shook it gently: "Since it's not a particularly important matter, you can take me with you." You see you have a face when you bring a maid there, don't you?" A pair of big watery eyes looked at Hachi in a blink.
Xiaoba, who was a little hairy in his heart when he was looked at by Red Qiang, had to reluctantly agree. Anyway, Xiaoba basically told Red Qiang about the previous things, so let's go.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, the two came to a house in the east of Feiyang City in a short time.
"Uncle, I'm back. Xiao Er shouted while banging on the door.
"You're back?" asked Red Rose.
Xiaoyuan smiled: "Said, yes, I have been living with my uncle since I was a child, and of course I came back." ”
I saw that Xiao Ba's head was full of black lines, and he felt that he had been deceived.
"Here it is," came a woman's gentle voice in the room. As the door opened, it was opened by a woman in her fifties with gray hair.
The woman is very quiet, and she has a sense of demure and dignified, which makes people feel good at first sight. The shopkeeper hurriedly called Auntie, and the woman nodded, smiled and invited the three into the house. As soon as the three of them entered the house, a man of the same age as the woman, who was also very elegant, and even a little bookish came out of the inner room. And when they knew that this man was the captain of Feiyang City's escort team, it really surprised Xiaoba and Hongqiang. In their imagination, the captains of the escort team should be five big and three thick, at least similar to Hu Yiming's feelings. But in front of you... It's clearly a little white face, how can this be convincing, how can it convince the public?
But thinking so in his heart, Hachi was not stupid enough to ask like this. He still bowed to the man with his fists very respectfully, and Hongqiang also wanted the man to salute.
The man smiled and said, "You are all friends of Xiaoyuan, right?" and then looked at the shopkeeper kindly.
The shopkeeper hurriedly arrived: "Yes, yes, I told them that my uncle is the great hero of our Feiyang City, and the security of Feiyang City is under the control of my uncle, so they must come to visit you." I bought a lot of things. As he spoke, he handed the snacks and other things he was carrying to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand: "Where, where, don't listen to Xiaoyuan's nonsense." No matter how capable I am, it is impossible for me to manage such a large Feiyang City, and it is the result of the cooperation and concerted efforts of my brothers. ”
Then the middle-aged man talked to Xiaoba Hongqiang about some local conditions, public security, and recommended some unnutritious words such as scenery. Until it was already dark. The middle-aged man glanced at the middle-aged woman. The woman nodded slightly, and then made an excuse to take Xiaoyuan into the room to talk.
At this time, the man readjusted his sitting posture and said, "I guess the two of you are impatient, you can tell me if you come to me for anything." ”
Hachi stood up, saluted the man again, and said, "We want to know about that vampire monster back then." It is said that you were present when you chased away the monsters. ”
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at the closed door of the woman's house, and then said: "Although this matter is not a secret, but several of us swore at that time that we would not reveal what happened, so please go back, I can't tell you about this matter." With that, he got up to see off the guests.
Although Xiao Hachi thought that it would definitely take some trouble to find out, he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't give him a chance at all, but in order to promise Hu Xiaoxi's promise, Xiao Hachi still spoke again: "Listen to me first, we don't plan to open the old history of Feiyang City, it's just that I have a friend... His last words asked me to come here to investigate the true cause of his father's death and, if possible, to avenge him. So you just have to tell me which way you drove it away, and that's it. ”
The man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I want you to keep it a secret." It took a lot of effort for us to seriously injure him, and in the end he ran in the direction of the north, probably to Alan City. ”
"Ellan City?" I've been there for a few days, and I've never heard of any vampire monsters. Could it be that the news was blocked by Ailan City, or that the monster didn't go to Ailan City. Zaihachi frowned and thought. And the red rose beside him suddenly asked, "What does that monster look like?"
The man nodded and said, "There's nothing you can't say, it's just that it's useless." ”
"It's useless?" said Xiao Hachi, Hongqiang, and the two at the same time.
"Yes" The man nodded heavily: "Their usual appearance is no different from ordinary people, only in the full moon... Ahem, it is only different when they are harming people, when their complexion becomes very white and they have two very long teeth sticking out. ”
Hachi nodded, this is very similar to what Xiaoyuan said. Although it took a night, it was not all fruitless, at least I knew the escape route, and I had to follow this route to find clues. Hachi didn't stay long, and left the man's house with Red Rose.
After walking a short distance, Red Qiang said, "Starling, what are you going to do?"
Hachi thought for a while: "I'll go north tomorrow to find it and inquire." ”
Red Rose smiled: "Do you really believe what he said?"
Hachi scratched his head: "Ah, then do you mean he's lying to us? ”
Hongqiang put her head close to Xiaoba, and said seriously: "I don't know if he lied to us, but it's definitely not that simple." Besides, didn't you hear him just say the full moon and quickly change his words?"
Xiaoba thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "Well, it seems that there is such a thing, or girls are careful." So what do you say?"
Hongqiang said: "Since we said that the full moon is spoken, it must be the night of the full moon." And his sudden change of words proves that there must be something unusual here on a full moon night. Looking at the current sky, there are not a few days left before the night of the full moon, so let's stay a few more days and wait until the night of the full moon to go to his place to investigate. ”
"Well, do as you say!"
In the following days, Hachi and Red Rose had a good time in Feiyang City until the night of the full moon came.
The two of them have been wandering around this day, but they haven't heard anything, they wanted to ask Xiaoyuan to inquire, but they heard that Xiaoyuan didn't come to work today, and heard that his uncle came to ask him for leave, saying that he had a cold.
Xiaoba and Luluo glanced at each other, and they both felt that things might be a little strange, so they bought some things and came to Xiaoyuan's uncle's house again.
"Tuk Tuk" Hachi knocked on the door gently.
With a "coming". It was still Xiaoyuan's aunt who opened the door. It's just that when I saw my aunt today, I gave Xiaoba a feeling that she was very nervous, and she was not as dignified as she was when she first saw her.
Xiaoyuan's aunt was also stunned when she saw that the people who came were Xiaoba and Hongqiang. But soon she smiled again and asked, "What is the matter with you here?" but this time it was not like the first time she had invited the two of them into the house.
Xiaoba took out the things he bought and handed them to his aunt and said, "I heard today that Xiaoyuan didn't come to work, I don't know the place here, thanks to Xiaoyuan's care these days." So I knew he was sick and came to see him. ”
The aunt took the thing and said, "Thank you, Xiaoyuan is fine." It's just that I have some colds, some colds. After two days he is well, I will invite you to come and thank you for your concern for him. I won't leave you today, although it is a cold and flu, but it is not good to infect you. ”
The other party gave an eviction order, and Hachi frowned, and he didn't know what to say. At this time, Hongqiang said: "Auntie, my ancestor opened a medical hall, it can be said that he has practiced medicine for generations, just let me go and see Xiaoyuan, I am sure that a pair of medicine will make him alive." Absolutely!" he patted his chest as he spoke, looking confident.
"Oh, no. It's really okay, the doctors in the city have seen it, he is much better now, I'm afraid he will be able to go tomorrow. I don't need to bother you, I'm so sorry. Auntie said a little flustered.
"It's okay, we're a friend here. And this cold and flu can't be underestimated, it can easily cause other symptoms, so you still have to check it carefully. Don't worry, it's not troublesome, it'll be fine soon. Saying that, Hongqiang squeezed into the room next to her aunt, and Xiaoba saw Hongqiang enter, so she hurriedly nodded with her aunt and followed in. Seeing this, Xiaoyuan's aunt clenched her fists tightly and followed in.
With the voice of the aunt: "Xiaoyuan, your friend has come to see you." Hongqiang walked into a small room in the hall by herself, and saw Xiao Yuan lying on the bed with a pale face, while his uncle was sitting on the side and watching him.
When the uncle saw Xiao Ba and the two people coming in, his brows were also furrowed, and he glared at Xiao Yuan's aunt. After Xiaoyuan's aunt gave him a helpless expression in return, the uncle stood up and reached out to stop the red rose who was walking over.
"Don't get too close, be careful that it's contagious. Uncle said.
"It's okay, I'm a doctor, just leave it to me. As she spoke, Hongqiang squeezed forward, but she was surprised to find that she had used two blows to squeeze through Uncle Xiaoyuan's seemingly naturally stretched arm.
