"Thank you, village chief!"
I thought the village chief wanted us to be careful about monsters, so I didn’t think much about it. After saying goodbye to the village chief, I walked towards the east end of the village.
After a while, Lonnie and I arrived in front of a large house.
The house looks antique and majestic. There are two large stone lions standing at the door. It looks like an old house left by a wealthy ancestor.
In this Wangjiazhuang, which is full of low-rise residential buildings, it seems quite out of place.
But now, this house is like other private houses, the door is closed, and no one can be seen.
"Isn't this the same house we saw when we first entered the village?"
Lonnie looked at the stone lion at the door and said curiously.
"Well, let's go take a look first."
With that said, I stepped up the stone steps and knocked twice on the door.
Bang bang!
Soon, a gap opened in the door, revealing a pair of alert eyes.
"Who are you?"
"We are the horsemen from out of town, here to collect the He family's bounty."
Next, I have to deal with the evil spirits in Wangjiazhuang, so naturally there is no need to hide my identity.
Hearing that we were Mr. Chu, the people at the door lowered their guard and opened the door cautiously.
This person was wearing a black cardigan and dressed like a servant. He looked at Lonnie and me before waving his hand.
"You two, please come with me."
The man made an invitation gesture and led Lonnie and I into the courtyard.
The yard was full of flowers and plants, and several large and open houses came into my sight.
The man led the way and soon brought us to a room.
"Wait a moment, you two. I'm going to report to the eldest lady."
Lonnie and I stood outside the door, watching the man push open the door and enter the room.
After a while, he came out and said to us: "The eldest lady asked you to come in."
I nodded and walked in with Lonnie.
The interior of the room is large, with mahogany furniture, leather seats, and interior decoration, all showing luxury.
A middle-aged woman in her forties, dressed in jewels, was sitting on a mahogany chair, holding a teacup in her hand, and a pair of sharp eyes swept over Lonnie and me.
"Are you the ones who came out to reveal the list?"
The woman glanced at me and asked coldly, still sitting firmly on the chair with no intention of moving.
"You can't be a liar, right?"
Being so doubted by this woman, I was about to defend myself, but Lonnie had already stood up and walked to the woman with a smile on her face.
"Madam, have you been having nightmares lately, dreaming about a snake always swimming under your feet, making you feel uneasy every day?"
"How did you know?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at Lonnie in surprise and asked.
Lonnie said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you before, we are the ones who take action, and it is our specialty to judge things by looking at the situation."
"And I'm just a second-in-command. The one who's really good is my husband, Master Cheng."
Lonnie said, pointing to me standing behind.
The lady looked at me doubtfully and asked softly, "May I ask, Master, how can I solve this situation?"
Of course I knew that this was Lonnie giving me a chance to show off, so I stood up and glanced at the lady lightly.
"You are thinking too much and your yang energy is weak, and nightmares will take advantage of this opportunity. Just put a pair of scissors under your pillow when you sleep at night to scare away the nightmares immediately."
The lady was slightly startled, "Is it that simple?"
I smiled lightly and said, "The real method of exorcising evil spirits is always simple and clear. If you don't believe it, you will find out after you try it tonight."
Seeing my vow, the lady finally no longer had any doubts, and the disdainful expression she had when she looked at us had long since disappeared.
"I just couldn't see the truth. Please sit down, both of you!"
The guests and hosts sat down, and soon someone came forward and poured a cup of hot tea for Lonnie and me.
"I dare to ask Master Cheng, how do you plan to deal with the appearance of monsters in our village?"
After a few words of greeting, the eldest lady began to get down to business.
"We have already investigated in the village before. As far as I can tell, those monsters are just a group of white zombies who are manipulated by others."
I said calmly: "As long as we find the person hiding behind the scenes, we can completely solve this matter."
The eldest lady nodded and asked, "Then how do we find the person behind the scenes?"
I thought for a few seconds and then said: "In this case, you first find a way to install a surveillance camera outside the door. I will check it myself tonight. Then you can arrange some people. Once those zombies come knocking on the door again, just look at my eyes and act." Can."
The eldest lady now obeys my words and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, just do as Master Cheng said!"
Immediately, she waved her hand and summoned two subordinates, "A Liang, you will take a few people to the county town later and buy the best monitoring device. It must be installed before dark today."
"Yes, ma'am!"
A Liang responded, turned and left.
"Apu, go find the most spacious room and arrange accommodation for Master Cheng and others."
The eldest lady gave instructions to another subordinate.
"yes!"
Apu responded, then turned around and waved to me and Lonnie, "You two, please follow me."
Lonnie and I said goodbye to the eldest lady, then followed Apu out of the house and walked towards the backyard.
The He family seems to be a wealthy family. Why is it that a wife is in charge of the housework? Where have all the men in this family gone?
On the way, I couldn't restrain my curiosity and asked Apu.
"Master Cheng, you don't know something. The eldest master and the second master both passed away a few years ago. Now it is the eldest wife who is in charge of housework."
Listening to Apu's story, I realized that the He family was a famous and wealthy family in the early years. Mrs. He and Mr. and Mrs. Zhang had two sons in total.
The eldest son He Guosheng and his wife Sun Xiuxiu gave birth to a grandson named He Jiafu.
The second son He Zhiqiang and his wife Lian Qingqing also gave birth to a grandson to the He family, He Jialu.
Speaking of which, the He family was prosperous, but the good times did not last long. A few years ago, Mr. He passed away due to illness. Later, brothers He Guosheng and He Zhiqiang were involved in a car accident while traveling abroad, and both died. Only his wife and children were left behind.
Mrs. He was old and seriously ill. The burden of managing the affairs of the He family naturally fell on the eldest wife Sun Xiuxiu.
While listening to Apu's story, Lonnie and I were walking through a long corridor. Suddenly, I faintly heard what seemed to be a heavy breathing coming from the left side, and at the same time, a strange smell penetrated my nose.
I turned around and saw that there was a wing on the left.
That strange smell and gasping sound came from inside!
