Under the command of Qin Shaoyou, the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department secretly made arrangements in Wenzu Alley, centered on Xiangpiaopiao's residence.
After Qin Shaoyou checked and determined that there was no problem, he asked Sun Xianzong and Zhu Xiucai to take over the duties and took the time to return home.
He went back to apologize to his fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law, telling them that he had encountered an unexpected case and needed to 'work overtime' and could not be with him, and asked for their forgiveness.
The fifth sister and her family were all very reasonable and expressed their understanding.
An Mutong said: "The case is very important. You can go and do your work. We will stay in Luocheng for a few days. When you solve the case, I will serve you a drink to congratulate you."
"Mu Tong is right. As an errand in the Demon Suppression Department, you should naturally focus on the case." Qin Daoren nodded in agreement.
After a period of dietary supplements and recuperation, Qin Daoren's physical condition has greatly recovered. Not only is his energy and energy much better, his waist is no longer sore and his legs are no longer weak.
After telling Qin Shaoyou to work hard, he hugged his grandchildren and began to brag about his past:
"My dear grandson, when grandpa was in the Demon Suppression Department, he worked much more seriously and carefully than your uncle..."
An Ziling and An Zizhan listened very seriously.
Xue Xiaobao was stuffing desserts into his mouth. When he heard Qin Daoren bragging, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked him: "Grandpa, why have you worked in the Demon Suppression Division for decades and you are still a small flag officer, while my brother-in-law is useless? In one year's time, he was promoted to the chief flag officer?"
"this……"
Qin Daoren was speechless for a moment.
He saw that An Ziling and An Zizhan were also confused, and their faces darkened even more. He turned to ask Xue Qin, "Have you spanked the baby today? If not, spank the baby as soon as possible. Beating the baby must be done every day." Carry on, otherwise if you don’t fight for a day, you will have to go to Fangjiewa!"
Xue Xiaobao was completely stunned. He thought to himself, "I didn't make any mistake. Why did you hit me?" What about the promised intergenerational marriage? Am I afraid I met a fake grandpa?
The mother and two sisters were more worried about Qin Shaoyou's safety, so they pulled him and gave him a lot of warnings.
Xue Qingshan is the official of the Hundred Households of the Demon Division in Luocheng City. He does not have to work overtime to participate in tonight's operation. He is here to accompany his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law.
At this moment, he pretended not to see the look of help from his son, got up and sent Qin Shaoyou out of the door, and warned: "Don't show off at night. If the situation goes wrong, call for reinforcements. I have left a reserve team in the Demon Suppression Department to help." You, and I will be there when you call for reinforcements.”
Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Xue Qingshan patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you thanking me? One family doesn't talk about two families, so you go ahead and pay attention to safety."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou nodded and responded. After leaving home, he went straight to Wenzu Lane.
By the time he arrived at Wenzu Alley, it was completely dark and it was curfew time.
The whole street was empty and quiet, with no one around.
Most of the houses on both sides of the alley were silent, except for the occasional muffled gasps.
Ordinary people in this world don't have a rich night life. At night, apart from making babies, they just wash up and go to bed early.
At this moment, the family who lived in the same alley as Xiang Piaopiao were still busy in the yard.
The entire family went out to burn incense and candles in their yard in the direction of Xiangpiaopiao's residence.
They clasped their hands in front of their chests, prayed, and whispered:
"Xiang Piaopiao, we know that you died unjustly, but your death has nothing to do with us. If you come back, don't look for us or greet us. Every injustice has its own owner, and whoever owes it has its owner. Who do you want to go to for killing you? We will burn incense and light wax for you so that you can have something to eat on the road to hell and be able to see the road clearly..."
It wasn't enough for the family to burn incense and wax, they also wanted to burn some paper money.
It's not that they have a good relationship with Xiang Piaopiao, and they still have to offer sacrifices after his death. It's just that they think Xiang Piaopiao's death is terrible and strange, and they are afraid that he will turn into an evil ghost and come back to claim his life. By the way, he took some of his neighbors away to keep her company, so now he showed his kindness and bribed her.
But just when they took out the paper money and prepared to burn it, a cold wind suddenly appeared in the yard and blew out the scented wax.
The family's faces turned pale with fright.
"This, this, this... what's going on?"
"Where is the wind coming from? The leaves are not moving."
"Could it be that Xiang Piaopiao is back?"
"It's not even the first seven days, why is she back? Could it be that she has put all the seducers to sleep?"
"Go back to the house, go back to the house quickly."
The family was frightened and all rushed into the house with a roar.
After closing the door, the old man in the family gave an experienced command: "Quickly, take the Buddha statues and ancestral tablets from home and put them behind the door and window."
The family members immediately followed the instructions.
Someone wanted to look out through the gap in the window, but the old man pulled him back and scolded: "What are you looking at? Don't look! Do you know that many dangers are caused by curiosity. As long as we don't look around, Even if Xiangpiaopiao really comes back, she won't find us. And if you look blindly, you will become seriously ill even if Xiangpiaopiao doesn't kill you."
When the people in the room heard this, they didn't dare to move anymore.
I just felt a little guilty in my heart: "We don't usually worship this Buddha statue much, so we are just doing it temporarily. Will it protect us? And if we use the ancestor's tablet to ward off disasters, will our ancestors scold us as unworthy descendants?"
The whole room was full of people, either shivering or thinking wildly, but no one noticed that several figures rolled into their yard.
It was Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and the others who came.
The wind that blew out the incense candle just now was not from the incense Piaopiang, but from Cui Yougui's little trick.
Although the door and windows were tightly closed, Qin Shaoyou could still sense the panic and fear of the people in the room.
He couldn't help but shake his head and whispered to Cui Yougui: "Look, you scared this family."
"I'm scaring them for their own good. If I don't go into the house after dark, if the ghost comes, won't my life be in vain?" Cui Youguo said in a low voice, as if 'I'm doing this for their own good' expression.
Qin Shaoyou didn't argue with him. He made a gesture and led a few people to climb to the roof like night cats, lie down on it, and observe the surroundings.
As early as the afternoon, Qin Shaoyou took a look at the surrounding environment.
The location of this house was the best for observing the situation inside and outside the alley, so after he returned to Wenzu Alley, he took Zhu Xiucai, Brother Cui and others to this place to ambush and keep a lookout.
At the same time, he is protecting the family.
Several other households in the alley also have night watchmen secretly protecting them.
Evil spirits such as demons and ghosts are very sensitive to popularity and human taste. If you let several families in the alley evacuate, when the demons and ghosts arrive, they will definitely notice something abnormal and alert the snake.
However, in order to prevent innocent people from being harmed, Qin Shaoyou not only sent night watchmen to sneak into these homes to make arrangements, but also arranged manpower for protection.
Even if an accident does occur, it can be responded to in time.
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou and others were lying on the roof, using the Hidden Qi Talisman and the Hiding Talisman to hide their figure and breath.
Although Cui Yougui couldn't use talismans, he knew the relevant spells and was also very concealed.
It was late at night in a blink of an eye.
The whole city seemed silent and empty under the cover of darkness, giving people a great sense of depression.
Suddenly, the moon in the night sky was covered by a group of dark clouds, and the whole world seemed darker and darker.
Inside Wenzu Alley, a biting wind blew up for no reason.
A few barks were heard, but they soon became quiet again.
Even the most ferocious dog at this moment clamped its tail, held its head with its paws, and shivered.
