Just when Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu were chatting casually, a small official from the Yiluan Division hurriedly walked in.

Zhou Fan and the others are accustomed to this, which means that there is a task to come.

Zhou Fan put down the book, Li Jiujiu stretched his waist and looked at the little official.

"Liu Zhutou is looking for two adults. The little official bowed slightly and replied.

......

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu met the subject of this incident in the small room of Tianliangliya.

She was a woman, but her face was completely covered with a white veil, and only a pair of eyes and lips were exposed.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu sat opposite her, and they didn't let the woman untie the white veil when they knew some inside information on the way here, Zhou Fan said in a deep voice: "In general, we have heard what Liu Zhutou said, but we still want to hear from you." ”

The woman's eyes were horrified, she swallowed, and then began to speak.

Her name is Wei Zhenzhen, she is a maid hired by the old man Liang in Xifang, and her family lives in Dongfang.

Master Liang is not a big family in Xifang, and his family did not buy a few maids, so he hired four or five maids to help, and she was one of them.

Every morning before dawn, she would come from her home in Dongfang to Master Liang's house in Xifang to work for Master Liang, but in the evening, when Master Liang had no place for them to live, he would let them go home by themselves.

From the west to the east, if the place is far away, it is likely to take half an hour.

It's hard to be a maid, and it's already night after being busy, and they usually go back together for safety.

However, there are times when it is an exception, after all, it is not possible for everyone to complete the task at hand at the same time, so sometimes they can't wait and have to go separately.

At first, they were very worried, but after a long time, they didn't pay much attention to it when they saw that there was nothing wrong.

Just last night, Wei Zhenzhen was careless during the day and forgot to wash the bedding and clothes she was responsible for.

It wasn't until near evening that she remembered it.

These bedding and clothes were all changed by Mr. Liang's family, if she didn't wash them today and the bedding clothes were not dried in time, she would be fined half a month's money.

Wei Zhenzhen could only let the hired maids go first, and she stayed alone to wash the bedding and clothes.

By the time she finished washing her bedding and clothes and hanging them on the bamboo poles, it was already the middle of the night.

She rarely goes home at such an hour, but she can't stand in Liangfu all night or sleep on the floor, then she will definitely not have the mental work tomorrow.

She picked up the butter paper lantern, said goodbye to the old man in the porter, and went out of the Liang Mansion.

Red lanterns hung in front of each house in Xifang, but it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

It was so quiet that the barking of dogs could only be heard occasionally.

Just in case, she pasted the small lantern charm she had put away close to her body on the yellow lantern and twisted around the streets and alleys of Xifang.

Finally come out of the West Fang, Tianliang Avenue is deserted, and you can't see any lights.

It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, like a dark beast that would devour people.

She suddenly had an urge to go back to the Liang Mansion.

It's just that she stopped and thought about it, but still mustered up the courage to move forward.

As she walked, she asked herself not to be cranky and scare herself.

Tianliang City has a patrol team of Yiluan Division, and it is very safe.

But her mind couldn't help but diverge, thinking about all kinds of weirdness that might be lurking in the night.

There is a strange name called Suiyu, which often appears in the dark and follows behind people's backs.

The old people in the city always said that if you walk at night and there is something to pat on the shoulder, then don't look back, just walk forward.

Because it was Sui Yan patting his shoulder, once he turned around and saw Sui Yan's appearance, he would definitely not be able to survive.

Thinking of this, she began to feel her shoulders tingle slightly, as if she would be tapped on the shoulder at any moment.

If there was really a casual pat, she silently told herself not to look back, but she thought that she might not be able to help but look back.

I heard that no one had ever seen it and survived.

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and glanced at the flame in the lantern, and her heart was a little less afraid.

The cool breeze blew slowly, making her feel cold in her heart again.

In addition to the squirrel, there is an even more terrifying night monster, which people call it the dog.

It is said that the dog can easily smell people's fear, and the more afraid a person is in the night, the easier it is for the dog to smell the person's position in the night through his nose.

Once found by the dog, it barks wildly and drags the person into the shadows to eat it alive.

Wei Zhenzhen's face turned slightly pale in the night, and her legs and stomach were shaking.

When she was a child, her leg was bitten by a dog, and a piece of meat was bitten off her calf, so painful that she almost thought she was dead.

The thought of being dragged into the darkness by the dog would make her cry out for mercy, but the dog would not let her go because of her crying, it would use its sharp teeth to bite off the flesh off its body piece by piece, and maybe it would bite its own throat first to prevent it from struggling to escape......

Wei Zhenzhen felt a chill exuding from her neck, which made her feel refreshed, and she asked herself to stop thinking about the dog.

The more scared she is, the more she will find her.

She kept reminding herself that this was Tianliang City, which was protected by a rune wall, and even dark monsters couldn't enter.

Whether it's a random dog or a dog or something, the night monster can't get in.

Her pace sped up a lot, and she walked to the North Street at the junction of the east and west squares, and glanced at the North Street without a trace of lights, and she hurriedly walked over.

But at this moment, she heard the sound of a dog barking, which came from inside North Street.

There was also the rustle of running feet in the darkness.

It's a dog...... It's a dog......

She just felt shivering, the cold spreading from her head to the soles of her feet, and she ran wildly with the lantern.

'Don't chase me, don't chase me......

That's all she had in her mind, and she even wanted to blow out the candle in the lantern to hide from the dog behind her.

But what little sanity she had left prevented her from doing so, and if she blew out the lantern, she would probably lose herself in the darkness entirely.

She regretted while running, just now she should have run towards Tianliang Street on the right, where there are Yiluan Sifu and Tianliang Liya, and it is strange that she doesn't dare to go to Tianliang Street.

She ran out of breath until she couldn't run anymore and had to stop.

"Ahem......" She couldn't help coughing when she ran too fast.

She coughed twice, then hurriedly held back and stopped coughing, listening to the movement behind.

The dog didn't seem to follow, and there was no rustling sound behind him.

Or maybe she didn't have a dog at all, but she was too afraid to imagine it.

There was a false alarm, she gasped, her heart relaxed a lot, and she was about to get home.

Don't tell them about this shame tomorrow, lest they laugh at themselves. ’

She thought about it and walked a few steps.

A hand reached out of the darkness and rested on her left shoulder.
