Chapter Seventy-Six: Return
When Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi entered the Zhu family's mansion, it was already late at night.
They chose to float in through the wall in the corner of the mansion without alarming anyone.
There was silence in the mansion, and all the rooms were pitch black, and it was obvious that the children had all gone to sleep with the lights out.
Ye Feng and the others walked through the backyard and walked straight to the viper's room.
There is still light in the viper's room, and the other one in the courtyard that is still lit is the master bedroom where Zhu Dashan lives.
The lights in the master bedroom are bright, and a figure is clearly reflected on the window paper, and it seems that Zhu Dashan has not yet gone to bed.
Zhang Fatzi felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help but lower his voice and muttered in a low voice: "This old man, he hasn't slept so late, and he doesn't know what he's busy with?"
Ye Feng also felt a little strange in his heart, but since Zhu Dashan had already opened his mouth and ordered them to be evicted today, although he said it very tactfully, it was better not to alarm his old man now.
The two walked into the viper's room, and the viper was still lying motionless on the bed, unconscious, and the black gas on his face seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
At the edge of the bed, a teenager sat in a chair, tilting his head and already asleep, apparently left to watch over the viper. Ye Feng took a closer look and recognized that it was the child who came to the inn in the morning to look for them.
Ye Feng stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, the child woke up from the dream, jumped up, and looked at Ye Feng and them, and was also surprised.
Ye Feng stretched out his index finger and put it to his lips and "shh
The child was a little surprised, but still asked in a low voice, "You guys, why are you here?"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "We don't worry, come and have a look." β
He looked at the child, and felt that the child's eyes were as clear as water, and he couldn't help asking, "They all suspect that we poisoned us, do you believe us?"
The child's eyes flashed with trust, nodded vigorously, and said, "I believe in you, you will definitely not harm Brother Ayong." β
The fat man on the side was a little strange and asked, "Why?"
The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can tell by looking at your eyes that you are good people, and Brother Ayong is your friend, and you will never poison him." β
Zhang Fatzi shook his head, friend, this kid is too naΓ―ve, he doesn't know that in this world, friends are often much more dangerous and terrifying than enemies.
Ye Feng smiled, this child's words made him feel a trace of warmth.
The children here are all orphans, who have suffered a lot from wandering and have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, so it is completely understandable that they are wary of strangers.
However, this child still chose to believe, to believe in others, to believe that there are some beautiful things in this world, and that there is hope in life with these things, isn't it?
He reached out approvingly and touched the child's head, turned his eyes to the poisonous snake on the bed, and asked softly, "How is he?"
The child looked a little sad and said: "Since you left in the morning, Brother Ayong has been lying in bed unconscious, Dad sent someone to the county seat to ask for a doctor, but the road is very long, it is said that he will not be able to come back tomorrow, he went out again I don't know where to get a lot of medicinal herbs back, boiled a decoction and poured it into Brother Ayong, but it seems to be useless." Brother Ayong is going to be fine, right?"
At the end of the day, it looked like he was going to cry.
Ye Feng nodded, comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely not let Brother Ayong have an accident, and there will definitely be a way to save him." β
Then he changed the topic and asked, "You boiled medicine for Brother Ayong last night, are the remaining slags still there?"
The child nodded, not understanding why he was asking, but replied, "It's in the back kitchen, and no one has touched it." β
Ye Feng said: "You go and pack these medicinal residues and bring them to us, but be careful, don't let others find out." β
The boy asked no more, nodded, and went out.
Ye Feng walked to the side of the bed and carefully checked the situation of the poisonous snake, his pulse was already very weak, and his breath was like a gossamer, and it seemed that he would not be able to last long.
Zhang Fatzi asked with concern, "How is it?"
Ye Feng sighed and shook his head.
Fat Zhang's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
He looked at Ye Feng, and seemed to understand a little why he chose to return to the Zhu family's mansion, and finding the remaining medicine residue from the boiling medicine was indeed a good way, which could prove that there was no problem in the medicine they caught, and there was no problem that they wanted to poison the poisonous snake.
However, once the dregs are in their hands, how can they prove to others that they have no hands or feet in the dregs?
Zhang Fatzi shook his head, it seems that this method wants to prove the innocence of the two of them, but I'm afraid it won't work.
Then why did Ye Feng have to return to the Zhu family's mansion in the middle of the night?
Just thinking about it, Ye Feng turned around and said to him: "You go to the door and keep an eye on Zhu Dashan's movements over there in the master bedroom, don't alarm him, I'll check his situation carefully." β
Zhang Fatzi didn't think much about it, nodded, turned around and walked out of the door.
Seeing Zhang Fatzi walk out, Ye Feng turned his head to look at the poisonous snake that was unconscious with a black face, and sighed lightly: "It seems that the only way to take the risk is to use this method." β
After saying that, his hand took out a dagger with cold light from his arms!
......
When Ye Feng came out of the house, Zhang Fatzi was still staring at the figure on the window of the master bedroom with unblinking eyes, and he was motionless.
When he turned around, he saw that Ye Feng was a little strange, his face was a little pale, and he seemed to be very tired and tired.
He was just about to ask, but Ye Feng spoke first: "How is Zhu Dashanren?"
Zhang Fatzi shook his head: "There is no movement, the shadow has always been there, let alone moving, even the posture has not changed." β
Ye Feng raised his eyes to look at the figure on the window, and whispered in his mouth: "What is he doing so motionless?"
Zhang Fatzi said casually disapprehantly: "Maybe he is reading a book, writing, no matter what he does, he can't be a big man sitting there embroidering and doing needlework, right?"
Ye Feng looked at the motionless shadow fixedly, but a strange feeling in his heart became more and more obvious, and suddenly he pulled his legs and walked towards the master bedroom.
Zhang Fatzi was startled and grabbed him: "What are you doing? If you alarm him, aren't you afraid that he will drive us out again?"
Ye Feng's eyes were still staring straight at the figure, and he still muttered in his mouth: "How can I have a feeling that this shadow doesn't look like a person?"
Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and looked at it, and the window paper was reflected
The figure has a head, a body, and arms, not a person, so what is it?
He felt that Ye Feng seemed to be enchanted, and slapped him on the back hard: "Nonsense, what is that not a person? We are already a suspect in poisoning now, if someone finds out that we sneak in in the middle of the night, maybe what will we think? Do you want to be beaten out by someone?"
Ye Feng was stunned, and stopped a little helplessly. After all, it's just a feeling, and it's completely unfounded.
Zhang Fatzi turned around and saw that the child came over with a cloth bag wrapped in medicine residue, and hurriedly said: "Let's leave quickly after taking something, if people really want to find out, I'm afraid I can't tell it clearly." β
Ye Feng could only nod helplessly.
By the time they returned to town, the pharmacy had long since closed.
Fortunately, every pharmacy has a night guard to facilitate those patients who have a disease late at night and need to grab medicine.
At this moment, the night guard who was woken up by them from his sleep was rubbing his sleepy eyes and looking at the two strange uninvited guests in a daze.
It was a disturbing dream in the middle of the night, but the two customers didn't grab the medicine, but just asked him to check a bag of medicine residue, such a strange guest, this is the first time I have encountered it.
Fortunately, the fat guest was quite generous, and as soon as he came, he was rewarded with a silver ingot, and for the sake of the silver's face, this guy had to reluctantly help them to see.
According to the prescription they brought, this fellow searched through the dregs one by one, and finally determined that there was nothing suspicious in the dregs except for the medicinal materials on the prescription.
Hearing his words, Fat Zhang felt greatly relieved, but Ye Feng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Walking out of the pharmacy, Zhang Fatzi looked up at the starry night sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief, now, there is no problem with these medicine residues, it seems that he can prove his innocence, at least, it is not because he caught the wrong medicine that the poisonous snake was poisoned.
He turned to Ye Feng and asked, "Where should we go next?"
Ye Feng didn't speak, just shook his head, but stared straight at the Chunhua Building across the street.
The Chunhua Building, which was brightly lit before, has long been closed now, and it is pitch black, is Ye Feng still thinking about going inside to sleep? Zhang Fatzi thought curiously.
At this moment, Ye Feng took a step, directly bypassed the Chunhua Building, and walked towards the open space behind.
Zhang Fatzi ran a few steps to follow, and asked, "Where are we going now?"
Ye Feng replied without replying: "You spent so much money tonight to inquire about the news from the old bustard, don't you want to take a look?"
Zhang Fatzi suddenly understood: "You mean, go to that small building to have a look?"
Mother Wu can say that the small building is haunted! Thinking of this, Zhang Fatzi suddenly felt as if his heart was lifted by a big hand that had been invisible all along, hanging and hanging.
Ye Feng smiled: "Do you believe that there are ghosts?"
Zhang Fatzi hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the small building, only to feel that his steps suddenly became a little heavy, and his mouth was also vague: "This, this may be said!"
In front of his eyes, the lonely shadow of Xiaolou stood in a dark clearing, but on the upper floor of Xiaolou, there seemed to be a faint light of light.
Could it be that there really are ghosts?
