This shrill scream awakened Gu Zhoushan from his sleep. He turned over and almost fell off the bed, who was already full of thoughts and was not a deep sleeper.

So hanging, he grabbed the wooden railing beside the bed, controlled his falling tendency, and didn't make too much noise.

When Gu Zhoushan stood up again, the sound in the distance had already stopped, and there was silence outside the window, not even a bird chirping, as if everything before was an illusion.

But Tu Xiaocao, who also jumped on the chair in front of him in astonishment, had already told him with his actions that that shrill roar had really existed.

Gu Zhoushan opened his mouth, a little afraid to speak, for fear of breaking the silence in the air and violating some taboo.

The same is true for Tu Xiaocao, otherwise she would not even dare to light a candle, preferring to sit in the dark.

Anxiety spread throughout the room.

Huan Feng suddenly stood up from the stool, walked to the window, silently opened a little gap, and glanced into the distance.Then he turned around and lowered his voice: "I'm going out for a while."

Tu Xiaocao's eyes widened, and she shouted in shock, "Didn't that maid say, don't go out at night, at night! And you heard that voice too, it must be very dangerous outside!"

Tu Xiaocao tried her best to persuade this obsessed and reticent person not to lose her life because of curiosity, and even gestured to Gu Zhoushan to ask him to do something with her.

Gu Zhoushan pondered for a moment, but said, "I'm with you."

"What? You, are you crazy too?" Tu Xiaocao hugged her head.

Because there was no light, Gu Zhoushan couldn't see the expression on Tu Xiaocao's face, but he could already feel her crazy mood from her movements, so he took the time to explain a few sentences: "At night, there must be danger outside the house. Yes, but staying indoors is not necessarily absolutely safe, and you may miss a lot of clues to help you get out."

In such a world, Gu Zhoushan has entered seemingly dangerous places many times, and found important clues to leave from inside.

This time, probably no exception.

"We will pay attention to safety." Gu Zhoushan tidied up his collar and trousers, which was a little messy when he slept, and quickly caught up with Huan Feng who gently opened the door and walked out.

Tu Xiaocao pursed her lips tightly, her fingers trembling slightly on the table, and she scratched out a few finger marks vigorously.

The cool wind outside the door blew in, waking her up from her entanglement.

Biting her lower lip, Tu Xiaocao walked to the door, put her clenched fist on the door, seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, then pulled the two sides of the door, and tightened the gap in the middle again.

The light outside is brighter than indoors. Although the subtle expressions of people's faces are still unclear, it has no effect on observing the surrounding things.

I didn’t find it in the courtyard where the guest room was located, and walked out after Huan Feng, Gu Zhoushan noticed that in just one afternoon, red paper lanterns had already been hung on the eaves of most of the houses outside.

After taking a closer look, Gu Zhoushan realized that the lantern was different from what he saw during the day!

During the day outside Zhuangzi, a servant dropped a lantern on the ground. Gu Zhoushan picked it up and observed it. The paper used to make the lantern should have been evenly red, but now it looks pale. After being soaked in some red pungent liquid, it is now mottled and discolored, looking ugly and inferior.

Gu Zhoushan walked along the eaves, and the red lanterns were lined up in a long line in front of his head, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tick!"

A drop of liquid streaked across the tip of his nose, smashing out a small deep red pool on the ground.

Gu Zhoushan did not dare to raise his head again, and quickly caught up with Huanfeng.

Coming out of the backyard, the surroundings were silent, and there seemed to be no danger or movement.

But as soon as he walked into the garden, Huan Feng suddenly slowed down and took him to hide among the flowers beside him.

Because they actually saw people!

Didn't you say, don't go out at night?Why should there be people wandering outside at this time when everyone should be sleeping soundly?

After Gu Zhoushan hid, he poked his head out again - the person who was standing in the middle just now disappeared!

It took only two steps to walk with his head down, why did the person disappear, and he didn't hear the footsteps!

He squatted behind the rockery and tried his best to explore the side under the cover of flowers, plants and trees, but he still didn't find any trace of the person who was as big as before.

A gust of cool wind poured in from the back of the neck.

"Are you... are you looking for me?" A dry and hoarse voice sounded from behind.

Gu Zhoushan turned around sharply, took two steps back, and leaned against Huan Feng's body, only then could he see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly.

It was a middle-aged man dressed similarly to a servant, with a weird smile on his face, he just stared at Gu Zhoushan, and repeated: "Are you looking for me?"

This "person" attacks people without seeing them, and can talk and communicate!

Gu Zhoushan took a deep breath, did not answer his question, but asked casually: "What are you doing here?"

"Me?" The middle-aged man seemed to be dull for a moment, and really answered Gu Zhoushan's question, "I'm... catching birds."

Without waiting for Gu Zhoushan to continue asking, he said to himself: "The birds in the village ran away, and there was no time to kill them. The wedding banquet is coming soon, and there are not enough birds. Madam will blame..."

Gu Zhoushan's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found a clue.

Of course, Gu Zhoushan knew that it was not safe outside, and this servant was so weird, so he would not let his guard down easily.But no matter what, he finally knew what to do next instead of wandering around aimlessly.

Therefore, Gu Zhoushan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight from Huanfeng, still kept a distance from the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "What bird did you lose? How many? Where did you lose it? What does it look like? If possible, we can help you find it together."

"You want to help me find it? That's... that's great." The middle-aged man thought for a while with a blank expression, and then gently uttered the situation, "I lost four, and I lost them a few days ago. I just discovered their traces today. As for what they look like..."

"Isn't it just like you..." The middle-aged man pulled a huge and exaggerated smile on his face, he suddenly laughed twice, and his hoarse voice lingered around.

There were many dragging footsteps at the several exits of this flower field.

Gu Zhoushan slowly opened his eyes wide.
