The strange case of the demon book

Huo Wen was tortured by a nightmare all night. In the dream, there was always a Zhengdan in a costume singing on the stage, and he sat down and watched. The whole theater was empty, only him and Zhengdan on the stage.

It was noon when Huo Wen woke up.

"Damn it." Huo Wen wiped his face.If this continues the night after tonight, I will definitely be mentally weak.After Huo Wen got up and washed, he cooked something casually and went out for a stroll.

This errand was quite idle for Huo Wencai, and after he had nothing to do, Huo Wencai went shopping in the streets, and he went to the Temple of the City God.

"A bowl of two yuan, you sit down."

Huh?Isn't this Ma Wenrui?Huo Wen stepped forward: "Wen Rui!"

"Wen Cai?" Ma Wenrui greeted Huo Wencai when he saw Huo Wencai. "You sit first, I'm busy."

"Okay." Huo Wen sat down and waited for Ma Wenrui to finish.

No wonder Ma Wenrui always had to find a place to sleep at night. It turned out that during the day he sold rice balls made of wine in the Temple of the City God.After working for a while, Ma Wenrui brought a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi to Huo Wencai.

"Here, this treats you to eat." Ma Wenrui said with a smile.

"Thank you." Huo Wencai didn't delay, and he took a dumpling, which was really delicious.

"So you are doing business here during the day." Huo Wencai chatted with Ma Wenrui while eating.

"My old man's health is weak, and he has to drink medicine every month. Isn't it that I have nothing to do during the day to earn some money to buy medicine for him?" Ma Wenrui said.

"Are you okay, Uncle?" Huo Wencai asked.

"Hi~ I'm fine. It's an old problem, and I'm in good health now." Ma Wenrui said.

Huo Wencai was really envious of Ma Wenrui and his relatives, thinking that he was tormented by nightmares.Huo Wencai mentioned to Ma Wenrui, "Wenrui, did anything strange happen in Taiping Street?"

"Strange thing?" Ma Wenrui thought for a while, then said: "If you talk about strange things, it's the 'Dead Man's House' on Taiping Street."

"The house of the dead?" Huo Wencai asked sensitively.

"Three years ago, the Zhang family moved from the north. They bought a house on Taiping Street and replaced it with a plaque. After the family moved in, except for the young master of this family, no one in the house appeared again. The people inside didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and later a neighbor on Taiping Street said that he once saw zombies jumping out of their house at midnight." Ma Wenrui's words made Huo Wencai's heart skip a beat.

Zhang's house?

Is it the Zhang family's house that I saw last night?According to Ma Wenrui's words, Zhang Jue is the young master of this house.

But Zhang Jue has met him two or three times and there is no problem.

"Wen Rui, do you believe what the neighbors say?"

"I don't believe it." Ma Wenrui shook his head as a matter of course.This surprised Huo Wen: "Why?"

"I watched the night every night, but I didn't see anything. The neighbor said he saw it, but I think he was wrong. What he saw must be a limping man." Ma Wenrui said.

"Then have you seen the young master in Zhang's house?"

"I've seen it a few times. It's just that I haven't talked to him." Ma Wenrui said.

Ma Wenrui's words reassured Huo Wencai a lot. He believed that Zhang who had helped him was definitely a good person.

"Are there any other strange things besides this strange thing?"

"No more." Ma Wenrui shook his head.

"Have a bowl of rice balls made with wine."

"Okay. I'll be busy first."

"it is good."

Ma Wenrui continued to work on his own stall, and Huo Wencai poured the remaining Yuanzi into his mouth, greeted Ma Wenrui, and wandered around the Town God's Temple.

The Town God's Temple was very lively, and those grandma and aunts took incense paper to worship the City God.Huo Wencai passed by a fortune teller's booth, and the fortune teller with braids, black hat and black glasses called out to Huo Wencai: "Young man, please stay."

Huo Wen took a look to the left.

"I am talking about you."

Huo Wen stepped forward somewhat inexplicably.

"sit."

Huo Wen just sat down, he wanted to see what kind of tricks this charlatan was playing, he had seen many such tricks.

"Young man, I see that your seal is black, and there must be a catastrophe in the near future. Have you encountered strange things recently?" said the fortune teller.Huo Wencai's heart tightened.

"I've been doing very well recently." Huo Wen replied with an unchanged expression.

"Don't lie to the old man, there is a black air on your body, you are entangled by something." The fortune teller said, stroking his beard.

Huo Wen was startled, this fortune teller was really good at it.He has indeed been bewitched these past few days. The nightmares of patrolling and sleeping at night made him feel terrified in his heart, but he did not encounter any strange things from Ma Wenrui's mouth, but what happened to him? explain?If he said it, Ma Wenrui would definitely not believe it.

"You said I was entangled, what evidence do you have." Huo Wencai said.

The fortune teller was stroking his beard now, and he tapped his fingers on the small table.Only then did Huo Wen realize it, and he took out thirty copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table.The fortune teller paused for a moment and continued tapping on the table.Huo Wencai twitched his face, and he added another twenty yuan.

After reading it, the fortune teller said: "Today is our fate, so I will tell you how to resolve this disaster."

Huo Wencai said: "Please give me your advice, sir."

The fortune-teller moved his fingers, and after a while he said: "You have been entangled by the dead ghost, and this ghost is still a fierce ghost. I have two talismans here, one for you to burn and drink, and one for you to wear next to your body." Bringing it will surely resolve this catastrophe."

Huo Wencai trembled in his heart. Sure enough, the strange encounters of the past few days were because he had seen a ghost.

But when did you provoke him?Could it be... Could it be related to the weird singing voice in the Leshan Theater?

"Can it really solve this catastrophe?" Huo Wencai asked anxiously.

"If not, you can come to me anytime." The fortune teller said leisurely.

"Okay, give me two." Huo Wencai said.

The fortune teller didn't speak, but just tapped on the table with his hand.Huo Wen took out another twenty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.Huo Wencai lost seventy yuan all of a sudden, bleeding from his heart.After he came to Foshan, he lived frugally, and he didn't have many copper coins on him.And the police pay will not be issued until next month.

But thinking of the weird things that made his hair stand on end at night, he still reluctantly paid the money for peace.

No matter how good your fist and kick skills are, you are still afraid... and also afraid of those ghosts.

Huo Wen spent a lot of money to buy two talismans.One of them, the fortune teller burned it and asked him to drink it.Huo Wen just drank it.The fortune teller asked him to put another talisman next to his body, and he carefully folded the talisman on his body and continued to visit the Chenghuang Temple.After a lap, he greeted Ma Wenrui and went home.

After the time in the afternoon, Huo Wen changed into his police uniform, put on his weapon, put the talisman paper on his body, and went on duty with peace of mind.

After meeting Ma Wenrui in the police station, the two went to the red house on Taiping Street and Fengning Road to change shifts with their brothers during the day.After patrolling for a while, the two rested in the red room.

Ma Wenrui babbled about household chores.

Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui were joking, and a familiar figure passed by the window of the red house.Huo Wencai patted Ma Wenrui on the shoulder: "I'll go out for a while."

"Well, let's go." Ma Wenrui said.

Huo Wencai went out of the red room and mixed into the crowd. The man in front had changed into an embroidered robe today, even if it was just the back view, he still looked very luxurious.

What is Zhang Jue going to do?

Huo Wencai followed him in the crowd, and Huo Wencai didn't believe the young master in the "dead man's house" that Ma Wenrui said at all.

Huo Wencai followed Zhang Jue all the way out of Taiping Street until he reached Pailan Road, a drug store street.

After entering this street, there are drugstores and pharmacies on both sides.Huo Wencai only saw Zhang Jue crossing his legs in front of a medicine stall and sitting face to face with the medicine seller.Huo Wencai stopped in his tracks—there are the most famous medicine stores in Weiyuantang, Shandetang, and Baozitang in this medicine store street. How could Zhang Jue patronize this small and ordinary medicine stall?Focusing on the stall owner who asked for a stall——

It turned out to be a traveling doctor.

But traveling doctors are the most unreliable.

I saw that the wandering doctor had big fluffy braids and bangs, and the monster embroidered on his robe looked like a living thing.There was a medicine box next to him, and when the man smiled, he looked like a fox.

Huo Wencai got close to them and hid without Zhang Jue noticing.

"Your medicine." Doctor Yunyou handed over the medicine to Zhang Jue.

"Thank you." Zhang Jue accepted it with a smile.

"Guests from the north will come here soon."

"Qingyang, thank you for the news." The smile on Zhang Jue's face was sad and cold.

"You're welcome." Liu Qingyang replied flatly.

"Where are you going next?" Zhang Jue asked.

"The world is so big, go where you need to go." Liu Qingyang said.

"This farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."

"You and I are destined, we will meet naturally."

Zhang Jue took his own medicine and got up: "I hope one day you can meet someone who can keep you."

Liu Qingyang smiled like a fox.After Zhang Jue took his medicine and said goodbye, he turned and went back. Huo Wencai turned and faced the wall with his face, hoping to avoid Zhang Jue.Looking at the patrolman who was carrying his back, Zhang Jue raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile: "Prisoner Huo, how about we go back together."

After being exposed, Huo Wen turned back embarrassedly: "I just passed by."

Zhang Jue smiled and said nothing.

Huo Wencai went back to Taiping Street together with Zhang Jue.

Liu Qingyang smiled as he watched the two leave together...

Huo Wencai and Zhang Jue walked back to Taiping Street together. On the way back to Taiping Street, Huo Wencai remembered something about Zhang's house. He asked dryly, "Zhang Jue, is there no one in your house? Why did you come out to get medicine by yourself?"

"My family members are in poor health and have been recuperating at home all year round. So I went out to get medicine." Zhang Jue replied.

It turns out that those who said that Zhang Jue's family migrated here from the north, except for Zhang Jue, and none of the people inside have ever been out.

After the two arrived at Taiping Street, Huo Wen sensitively felt that some neighbors on Taiping Street were looking at him and Zhang Jue strangely.After Zhang Jue and Huo Wencai separated, a neighbor's grandmother grabbed Huo Wencai's hand suddenly:

"Young boy, why are you with the people in this haunted house?"

Huo Wencai's pupils shrank.
