Chapter 20: Sleepless Nights

Under the guidance of the two family members, Shi and Wu didn't care about letting go of the car, and the two hurriedly followed the two family members to the place where the incident occurred. In the intermittent descriptions of these two family members, Shi Cheng roughly understood what was going on in Baifu.

It turns out that today is actually the birthday of Bai Qingming, the eldest son of the Bai family, and it stands to reason that the birthday of the eldest son of the first family in Redwood City should be a little pompous, but the recent period has been an eventful time for the Bai family, and Bai Qingming has no intention of celebrating his birthday, but just called his sister and the housekeeper Bai Gui to have dinner together in an attic on the south side of the house, and the family talked about family life.

Bai Qingming has been away from home for many days, and he misses his family very much, so he chatted with his sister and the housekeeper until the end of the party. By the time the three of them left the table, nothing had happened, but after the dinner was over, something happened when the family members were cleaning the attic. Bai Dahai is an ordinary family member in Baifu, although he is silent, he has always been capable. But when everyone was cleaning the attic that day, Bai Dahai stood in the shadow of the corner with his back stunned, motionless. A family member was a little unaccustomed to it, so he went up and pulled Bai Dahai, Bai Dahai was pulled by him and turned around, and the family members present saw a scene that they will never forget.

Although the "White Sea" in front of everyone was still wearing the clothes of the Baifu family, the facial features on his face were missing. With a burst of strange laughter, the family members present were all frightened, and everyone ran out of the attic crying and shouting, until Bai Qingming personally rushed back to suppress the formation, everyone had the courage to go upstairs to check, and then found Bai Dahai lying on his back on the ground, dying tragically, and the expression on his face was extremely frightened.

Listening to the narration of the two family members, Shi Cheng's face sank like water, and Wu Tianshi's face turned white when he walked aside, he had been in the Wu family for three days, and this was the first time he had directly encountered such a strange thing. The four of them hurried and quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.

Bai Qingming stood in front of the attic with a very ugly face, looking at the nurses who were busy in the attic, while softly comforting Bai Xuan, who was pale, while Bai Gui was in the attic directing the nursing home that was cleaning up the scene.

Shi Cheng walked quickly in front of Bai Qingming, and said bluntly: "Bai Gongzi, I really didn't expect Shi to encounter this kind of thing just after he came back, if Bai Gongzi needs Shi Mou's help, please feel free to give me orders." ”

Wu Tianshi on the side also hurriedly followed, nodding constantly and saying, "Bai Gongzi, I am the same." ”

"Qingming doesn't need the help of the two of you now, but ......" Bai Qingming's eyes were sharp, staring at Shi and Wu deadly, "It's a coincidence that the two of you came back, and they disappeared during the day, but you came back in time after the accident at my house tonight." ”

"What does Bai Gongzi mean by this? Shi Cheng was a little puzzled. Shi Cheng asked in a flat tone.

"Shi Daoyou, Bai Gongzi." Wu Tianshi saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, and hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Now is not the time to quarrel, we should think about how to arrest that monster now." Let's not be busy cleaning up the scene, maybe there are any clues left at the scene. ”

"Clues? Can this kind of evil thing be done by people? Bai Qingming sneered: "I'm going to ask you, Wu Tianshi, you've been at my house for three days, why did such a thing happen today?" Don't you claim to be boundless in your powers? ”

"This ...... I ...... "Wu Tianshi was hesitant, embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into."

"Brother, don't blame Brother Heavenly Master. The demon he encountered this time was really powerful, even his grandfather was knocked down by it silently, and Brother Tianshi did his best. Bai Xuan softly comforted her brother.

"Xuan'er, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts at all." Bai Qingming reprimanded his sister solemnly, "Hmph, what Xuanmen Heavenly Master, I've seen a lot of charlatans like you." My Bai family doesn't do things absolutely, I will give you a lot of hard work in the past few days, if you still want some face, take the initiative to pack up your things and leave my Bai family! Otherwise, Hugh blames me for not being emotional. ”

"Brother, don't!" When Bai Xuan heard that his brother was going to drive Wu Tianshi away, he was extremely anxious.

"It's all autumn, I don't know where Bai Gongzi got so much anger." Shi Cheng's joking voice came from the side, "I don't have any opinion if you want to drive Wu Daoyou, but there are still places where Wu Daoyou needs help." You might as well look at the thin noodles below and let Wu Daoyou stay for a few more days, and after you cure the old master of the Bai family, it is your own business how you and Wu Daoyou plan to end up. ”

"Shi Gongzi, the affairs of my Bai family, it is not the turn of an outsider to point fingers." Bai Qingming said coldly: "The day after tomorrow is the day when the altar is opened, I hope Gongzi's pill can work, otherwise it will ......" He paused and continued: "If something goes wrong with Shi Gongzi's pill, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Shi Cheng stood there, looking at Bai Qingming expressionlessly, but did not answer. Bai Qingming took a few steps forward and whispered to Shi Cheng: "I know that Shi Gongzi's purpose of coming to my Bai family is not pure, but I don't bother to investigate your real purpose now, I know that there must be forces behind you, but the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, you better not let me hold on to anything." ”

Bai Gongzi laughed. Shi Chengman responded nonchalantly: "I am alone in Xia, and it has always been like this. ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng bowed to everyone, and then said, "It's not early, I'll go back and rest first." ”

After speaking, Shi Cheng ignored Bai Qingming and went straight back to the room.

After returning to the wing, Shi Cheng did not lie down to rest, he frowned, and carefully reviewed what had happened in the past two days. Just as Shi Cheng was deep in thought, suddenly, his face changed, and a talisman in his pocket trembled rapidly.

"Coming to the door so soon?!" Shi Cheng's expression was serious, he didn't say a word, he went out in a hurry after going out, and he disappeared in the dark in an instant, and none of the guards and families who patrolled the night in Baifu found him out.

At this time, in a house in the west of the city, Zhang Erhei was putting the freshly made pie into a large cage drawer. He covered the lid, and he could take it out and sell it after he got up in the oven tomorrow morning, and Zhang Wang, who was in the next room, had fallen asleep after drinking the medicine.

was about to wash his hands and go to bed, but Zhang Erhei suddenly heard that the pile of firewood and grass outside the house seemed to have been stepped on by someone, and there was a crisp sound of "click".

"Who?" Zhang Erhei cautiously shouted outside the house, but no one answered.

"There will be no thieves." Zhang Erhei muttered quietly, he picked up a kitchen knife, opened the latch of the main entrance of the house, and carefully poked his head out.

The night was windy, bringing up a lot of sand and dust in the sky. By the faint moonlight, Zhang Erhei glanced at the empty courtyard, and said to himself suspiciously: "Strange, no one." ”

He tightened his grip on the kitchen knife and pushed the door out again, and the whole person walked out of the door, trying to see more clearly.

At this moment, a masked man suddenly appeared in the darkness in the corner of his left hand, and Zhang Erhei was punched in the lower abdomen by him before he could react.

Zhang Erhei couldn't even speak in pain, and curled up on the ground like a shrimp. The masked man squatted down, grabbed Zhang Erhei's neck with one hand, and pulled out a sharpened knife from his waist with the other hand, and stabbed Zhang Erhei fiercely.

Just when Zhang Erhei closed his eyes in despair and waited for death, suddenly, a golden light appeared above the courtyard, and before the masked man could react, the golden light had already hit him. With a terrible howl, the ribs on the masked man's chest snapped, and the whole person flew upside down. He lay on the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth like money, and he saw that he could not live.

Zhang Erhei was also frightened by this sudden change, especially when he saw that the masked man seemed to be out of breath. Although he had been a butcher for two years, it was the first time in his life that he had seen a large living man die in front of him.

"What's wrong?" There was a low cry from outside the wall, it turned out that the masked man had companions outside, and he saw a golden light flashing above the courtyard, and heard a wail from the courtyard that made him feel familiar, and he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

The other masked man hesitated outside for a few moments before jumping over the fence and into the courtyard.

Zhang Erhei experienced the change just now, Rao is five big and three thick man also felt that his legs were weak, but now another masked man turned in, he panicked and wanted to get up, but his legs did not obey.

The second masked man was terrified when he saw his companion lying motionless on the ground, but at this time he couldn't care much more, and if he dragged on for a while, if this Zhang Erhei shouted for help, the situation would probably be uncertain.

He hurriedly took out two flying knives and threw them, and the two cold rays rushed towards Zhang Erhei with a sound of breaking the air in the night.

However, at this moment, two subtle wind sounds suddenly came from the roof, and after two crisp sounds, the two flying knives issued by the masked man had already been knocked to the ground.

The masked man was horrified and turned his head to look at the roof, where a man was already standing at some point.

"Fortunately, it's not too late." A young man's voice sounded over the small courtyard with the cold wind of the autumn night.
