Standing in front of a wooden gate in an old and dilapidated courtyard.

The moonlight was so cold, shivering to the sensation. Like a piece of dust, when gently rippling, it reflects the bits and pieces of ancient trees and sprinkles the fine fragments of the eaves.

After a burst of heartfelt sentimentality, Luo Jingfeng raised his hand and retracted his arm the moment he knocked on the door.

"Self-condensation, remember correctly!"

He double-checked, his retracted arm repeating the previous motion, but patting it lightly.

Bang, bang.

Three knocks on the door broke the silent winter night in an instant.

Although there was no force, the ultra-thin door still made a loud noise.

When Luo Jingfeng knocked on the wooden door, he naturally turned back and stood under the steps of the door, making room for the sudden opening of the door.

"Big brother, is there no one after he is dead?"

Zi Ning waited for a while, but blinked his eyes, as if he had suddenly thought of it, and there was still a hint of sudden realization on his childish face.

"Isn't there anyone else in his house?"

Luo Jingfeng hesitated for a moment, turned his head to stare at the chaimen, but could not hear any sound.

"When he died, you and my master saw it. ”

Zi Ning stared at his eyes, but he turned his head sharply to stare at it, the brighter the moon standing in the moonlight, the whiter his cheeks became more and more white.

"I saw him die, but he can't be the only one in the house, right?"

Luo Jingfeng moved another step, and also stood in the moonlight, tilting his head just about to glance at Yue Mingyue.

The bright red figure flashed, and Yue Mingyue had already passed by.

"Mingyue, what are you doing here?"

Luo Jingfeng hurriedly pulled his hand, grabbed Yue Mingyue's sleeve, and stared at her with a shocked face.

"There must be no one, and no one will open it until dawn. ”

Yue Mingyue stood by Luo Jingfeng's side, in fact, with a little effort to evacuate, she could completely break free from his pull. But she waited quietly, looking at him affectionately.

This moment.

It really stumped Luo Jingfeng, if he let go and let Yue Mingyue slam the door, then if there were people, he wouldn't be able to find the right words if he wanted to go around. If you continue to block the door and not break in, you may have to wait until dawn the next day. After thinking about it, when he let go of the hand he was pulling, he made an expression that Yue Mingyue couldn't understand at all.

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Yue Mingyue almond round open.

She really didn't understand the essence of Luo Fengfeng's glaring and pouting.

"You can't even understand this, how can you be your master's apprentice. ”

Hai Tianchou, who was standing on the side, set aside the self-condensation in front of him, and stepped forward with a kick.

Boom.

Bang, bang.

The firewood door, which was already very old, was wide open in his hard work.

Yue Mingyue was still a little disbelieving, and when the door opened, her eyes moved to Luo Jingfeng's face, wanting to confirm whether Hai Tianchou's answer was correct.

Luo Jingfeng smiled, but he didn't mean to object.

Creak!

"That action meant to agree! It seems that my head is really stupid. ”

Yue Mingyue shook her head slightly, and when she raised her legs and took steps, she was caught by Hai Tianchou again.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong with me, this door has been kicked open by you, do you still have to stand outside and bear the erosion of the cold wind!"

"Look at what your master means. ”

Hai Tianchou smiled, stroked his lips at Luo Jingfeng, and let go of the hand he was holding.

When Yue Mingyue blinked her eyes, she really turned her head and stared at Luo Jingfeng's face.

This time, Luo Jingfeng's expression was smiling, but he first pursed his mouth, and then frowned.

After carefully watching the whole process, Yue Mingyue lowered her head and thought about it seriously.

A confident head tilted back, shook back his long hair, and then turned around, revealing an arrogant look. She felt that this time she must have figured out the master's mind.

When he took a big stride, he was pulled back by Haitian and almost stumbled to the ground.

"Didn't I understand the master's face?"

When Yue Mingyue shook her footsteps, she stared angrily at Haitian's smiling face.

"Let your great master explain it to you!"

Haitian smiled sadly, rubbed his body against Yue Mingyue's chest, and strode into the threshold. When he stood inside the doorway, he turned his head again, but his face was unquestionably confident.

"Master, did I misread your expression when I fell to the ground, or are you deliberately playing tricks on me?"

"You can do it when you kick the door, but you can't be the first to enter the unknown environment, you have to have an experienced person to take the lead. Looking at facial expressions is one thing, but the key is to combine it with reality, and you must first think about what you should do. ”

Luo Jingfeng said calmly, his eyes glanced over Yue Mingyue's head, and the moment he met Haitian's sorrowful gaze. He pushed Zi Ning, and then pulled Yue Mingyue to turn around.

"Let's go, now you can enter. ”

In his pushing, Zi Ning and Yue Mingyue stood in the middle of the courtyard at the same time.

Swirling glances.

Except for the two houses of different heights facing the gate, the left and right sides are surrounded by low walls that are full of crumblings. On the left side of the fence, you can clearly see the clean yard and a row of brand new side houses, while on the right, there is a very tall back wall of the house, and you can't see anything at all.

Luo Jingfeng retracted his gaze and re-examined the two huts in front of him, pressing his hands on Zining's shoulders, hooking his head and lowering his voice.

"Zining, when you and your sister came in, which room did you go to first?"

Zi Ning leaned over and looked over Luo Fengfeng's hunched shoulders.

"That one. ”

As he spoke, he pointed eagerly to a room on the left.

"You must be that one? That means you're in the room on the left, and the room on the right is where they're talking?"

Luo Jingfeng confirmed one by one.

"I haven't forgotten that coming here was the night before we met. ”

Zi Ning stared at Luo Jingfeng quietly.

After Luo Jingfeng looked around again, although the moonlight was not very clear, he could still clearly see every corner of the courtyard that was not very complicated.

He stared straight at the house in front of him, but when Yue Mingyue followed behind him, his other hand began to grope to grab Zi Ning again. However, just before he grabbed Yue Mingyue, Hai Tianchou had already held Zi Ning behind him, and one arm was still protecting him.

After a period of random fumbling, Luo Jingfeng turned his head and smiled at Hai Tianchou. He began to move carefully, but did not make a sound.

He stood in front of the small door of the house on the right, but turned his head to stare at Yue Mingyue again.

According to Yue Mingyue's idea, it should be the main house on the left first, not the side room first. At this time, she figured out that her master was a person who played cards uncomfortably. His thinking is always different, and even some of the phenomena that go against the law.

Crunch.

There was a sound of wood rubbing, and there was a slight sound for a moment.

Luo frightened the wind and dodged, and his back hit the twin peaks of Yue Mingyue's bulge hard. In a soft tremble, he twisted half of his neck, and returned to the front, still holding back and not looking back. But the blood boiling in his heart still made him shake his back, and after rubbing a few times, he stood up straight.

It was dark in the room.

By the radical moonlight, the eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness inside, but it was quiet.

Hai Tianchou let go of the arm that was protecting Zi Ning, and when he pushed him to stand in front of Luo Jingfeng, his body shook and he stepped into the darkness of the room.

Whoop, whoop.

Several flint clashes in a row.

Boom, snort.

The bright spots flashed, and the flints collided.

Phew.

There was a thud.

Wow.

Tongues of fire flashed.

Hai Tian's sad face suddenly appeared in front of him.

The core of fire in his hand moved from the moonlight at the doorway to the darkness of the room, and he searched for an oil lamp to ignite.

The light flashed, and the whole room lit up.

"Boss, come in!"

Haitian shouted anxiously, and the tone of the shouting was not only urgent, but also slightly vibrato.

Luo Fengfeng stepped forward quickly, and when he stood beside Hai Tianchou, he was already crying in a low voice.

Alas!

"Isn't this the old man who sells knives! ”

Luo Jingfeng's words made everyone look at them in shock, and they didn't have the courage to speak anymore.

The old man who sold the knife died in front of Luo Jingfeng, and it was the result of his last breath. But how could such a helpless person, who was not a local person, lie peacefully in his room when his body was stiff.

In fear, Luo Jingfeng hesitated, but still took a step closer. He looked down in disbelief, but the look that greeted him directly shattered his doubts.

Lying on the clay kang was the man who sold the knife, and his expression did not even change in the slightest before he died, he still looked anxious and embarrassed, but his face was now terrifyingly pale.

"What a situation!"

After Luo turned around, he stared at Hai Tianchou like ashes.

"Can you be sure he was dead?"

Hai Tianchou also began to become frightened.

"There is no doubt at all, the old man was indeed killed at that time, and from the time he was injured to telling me, I didn't leave for a moment, just watched him die of breath. ”

Luo Feng said worriedly, and moved his gaze to stare at Yue Mingyue.

"There is no doubt about the old man's death at that time, and at the moment, the important thing may not be his own problem, let alone the problem of the corpse, it should be someone who has done something good. ”

Yue Mingyue said very lightly.

"If it's really done by well-wishers, that's normal, and there's no need for us to continue to investigate. But I don't think it's that simple, the old man is not a local, and he hasn't been here for a long time, so he has no relatives at all. ”

As soon as Luo Jingfeng finished speaking.

Whoosh, the wind blows, and the oil lamp flashes.

In the corner of the dim room, a white figure appeared. At the moment of a terrifying attack, Yue Mingyue flashed into Luo Jingfeng's arms.
