"Go away, go away!"
Cao Renjie kept waving his hands, as if driving something away, stumbling around the house, bumping into the wall from time to time, and falling to the ground with a thud.
I listened quietly.
At this time, Cao Renjie, no matter what he said or cursed, was the most truthful.
From the fragmentary words, it can be heard that the other party really knows very little about what happened back then.
As the eldest son of the Cao family, Cao Renjie has been in charge of most of the Cao family's properties in recent years. He can be said to be the leading figure in the Cao family, but he has not been involved in many of the real secrets of the Cao family.
But with the way he was haunted by hundreds of ghosts, there were quite a few people who died directly or indirectly at his hands.
The Cao family has been able to rise to such an extent in a short period of time. Although on the surface they do good deeds and are known as the most virtuous family, there are likely to be many dark ways behind the scenes.
It's just that Cao Renjie's dark methods are basically used in business. For example, sometimes if he can't compete in a certain industry, he will choose the most direct method, which is to find someone to get rid of the other party.
Sometimes, in order to eliminate the root cause, the other party's entire family can be wiped out.
But Cao Renjie didn't mention anything about the Cao family's old house and Shimen Village that Liu Hao was guarding. It was obvious that the other party was not involved.
I almost heard it was almost dawn below, and Cao Renjie's spirit was already on the verge of collapse, so I put out the incense, burned it, threw it on the ground, and then went back to the second floor to rest.
After sleeping for about an hour, I heard a noise coming from downstairs. It must be Haitang coming to open the door.
Sure enough, I heard Haitang say in surprise, "Someone came in last night!"
Then he heard Master Zhang's voice and laughed, "Don't panic, it's Boss Xiaolin who's back. He's probably still sleeping upstairs. Be gentle."
"Oh!" Haitang lowered her voice and acted lightly.
I lay there for a while longer, then got up, washed and went downstairs.
"Brother Shou, you are back, breakfast is here!"
Haitang was wiping the counter with a rag. When she saw me coming down, she immediately came over to greet me happily and pointed to the breakfast prepared on the table.
"Brother Beast?" I paused as I walked down the stairs. Why does it sound so awkward?
"Um... isn't it nice to call me Brother Shou?" Haitang was a little flustered.
I coughed and smiled, "Just call it this, it's pretty good."
"Okay!" Haitang suddenly became happy again.
"Then what do you call Lao Shao?" I went to get a bun to eat.
"Call me Brother Zilong." Haitang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Zilong's voice was heard outside, "Haitang, are you looking for your brother?"
"Brother Zilong, are you back too?" Haitang shouted sharply, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I just came back, unlike Lao Lin, who came back last night." Shao Zilong picked up the bun and took a bite, then picked up a glass of soy milk to drink, "By the way, what were you talking about just now?"
"We are talking, I call you Brother Zilong." Haitang said.
Shao Zilong smiled, "It feels good to hear it. What do you call Lao Lin?"
"Brother Shou," Haitang said.
Shao Zilong spit out the mouthful of soy milk he just drank. Fortunately, I was prepared and avoided it in advance.
"Brother Beast? Hahahaha, Haitang, you are so awesome!" Shao Zilong patted my shoulder and laughed.
I said angrily, "Look, you sprayed all over the floor and you didn't clean it up."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Haitang rushed to wipe away the soy milk splashed on the floor and table, and then asked in confusion, "Isn't it... bad to call me Brother Shou?"
"No, no, it's very suitable!" Shao Zilong patted my shoulder and said, "Brother Beast, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, that's good." I smiled helplessly at Haitang.
Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and went to clean other places. Even if it looked clean, she would wipe it carefully again.
"Go and talk inside."
Shao Zilong and I took breakfast and went into the back room.
Then I asked about the situation at the Cao family after I left.
"It was a mess last night, but it was quite enjoyable." Shao Zilong said with a smile, "But what was that thing that popped out later? It was floating around. I heard a lot of people calling it something like a hanged man."
"Who else could it be? It's probably Haitang's little crazy sister." I said.
"Damn it, is it that crazy girl?" Shao Zilong immediately regretted, "If I had known it, I wouldn't have watched the show. Why is this crazy girl there?"
"How did I know?" I described the situation to him. "It felt like this person was hanging there and sleeping."
"You said she was not afraid of choking when she slept on a rope?" Shao Zilong didn't believe it.
"Otherwise, why are you calling people crazy?" I asked him.
Shao Zilong nodded, "That's right, this crazy girl's brain circuit is different from ours."
He said a little strangely, "But why did she go to Cao's house? I heard you say last time that she was sleeping in a coffin, right?"
I hummed, "I kind of wonder if the Cao family's feng shui is special, so that's why she ended up there."
"You mean..." Shao Zilong was startled, "What's so special about the Cao family that attracted her to make it her home base?"
This is just a guess on my part, without any evidence.
"By the way, what happened to the Cao family in the end?" I got back to the topic.
"You ran away first. Later, the gang didn't catch that crazy girl. I mingled with the crowd and watched the show all night, and I just came back." Shao Zilong said.
I was a little surprised, "Didn't anything else happen?"
"What else is going on?" Shao Zilong was confused.
At this moment, Tietou was heard asking in a low voice outside, "Haitang, is Brother Lin awake?"
"Brother Lin?" Haitang was stunned for a moment.
"Why, he's your boss." Tietou said.
"Brother Tietou, you..." Haitang hesitated for a moment, very confused, "You are so much older than Brother Shou, do you also call him brother?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Just a few years older, okay? Calling me brother is a respectful title and has nothing to do with age. Do you understand?" Tietou said plausibly.
"Oh, I understand." Haitang responded.
"Did you just say Brother Shou? Did your boss ask you to call him that?" Tietou asked.
"Yes, Brother Shou said it's a good name." Haitang said.
Tietou suddenly smiled and said, "I understand."
I thought to myself, what the hell do you know?
Shao Zilong burst out laughing and shouted, "Tietou, come in and talk!"
I heard Tietou agree from outside, and soon ran in like a storm.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted with a smile, "Brother Shou, Brother Zilong, you are all here."
Shao Zilong glanced at me and smiled even brighter, "Is something wrong?"
"I just got some news and wanted to tell you." Tietou smiled at me with a frown.
I guess he heard some rumors about the Cao family, so I asked him to sit down and listen.
Tietou said, "I heard that something big happened in the Cao family last night. There was a commotion all night, which made people panic. But early this morning, the boss of the Cao family, Cao Renjie, came out to comfort people and said What……"
"Who are you talking about?" I interrupted him.
"Cao...Cao Renjie is Cao Song's eldest son." Tietou was stunned for a moment and quickly explained.
"When did he come out?" I asked.
"Just about ten minutes ago." Tietou looked at me with some confusion.
