From the words of the old man, Zheng Andrew knew that there were still four families left in this alley.In addition to the elderly, there is a family of three, a mother and son and a young man in his 20s.According to the old man, the family of three had already found a house, but they refused to move out for some reason.Zheng Andrew knew that this should be the kind of person he rated as "a man with a lack of heart and a snake swallowing an elephant".

And the mother and son moved to this alley only last year.The mother makes a living by setting up a breakfast stand, and her son is now in junior high school with excellent grades.The child's father died accidentally while working on a construction site.Because he violated the regulations himself, the compensation for the construction site was only tens of thousands of yuan.Life is still difficult for mother and son.

And that young man in his 20s is called Cheng Huai.Cheng Huai said that he has a deep relationship with this Huai Lane.This Huai Lane used to be part of the Cheng family's mansion.The Cheng family is a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Even the old man's ancestor was a branch of the Cheng family.

The dilapidated vermilion gate at the deepest part of Huai Lane came to Zheng Andro's mind, with the gilded and bright ear rings on the gate and the blurred stone lion in front of the gate.From these, we can vaguely see the glory of the Cheng family.

A family as big as the Cheng family is not an official or a landlord, but a businessman.And he is not an ordinary businessman.The old man's rough fingers picked up a piece of cotton thread, passed it through the pinhole accurately, and said to Zheng Andrew, "This Cheng family is doing dead business."

Zheng Andro's first reaction was that the Cheng family was in the coffin business, but the old man shook his head and said, "No! The Cheng family worships the Sanqing, and worships the sage who blesses the town house. Every generation of the Cheng family's patriarch It is a pity that the patriarchs of each generation of the Cheng family from a certain generation onwards do not live long."

"It is said that cultivating the Tao can lead to immortality, so why is the head of the Cheng family short-lived?"

"They rumored that the Cheng family had done something against the laws of nature!" the old man replied.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Andrew asked.

The old man shook his head and refused to say any more.

Zheng Andrew knew that people of the older generation had some feudal superstitions, so he just listened to these words and didn't mean to delve into them.

"Then how did this alley become Huai Alley? Why does Cheng Huai live here alone?" Zheng Andro asked.

The old man sighed, and said: "This Cheng family, it was getting worse day by day in the Qing Dynasty. It was from the generation of the Cheng family that the psychic power among the direct descendants became weaker and weaker. , It was also from that generation that the patriarchs of the Cheng family could not live to be 30 years old. Later, when the Republic of China was in chaos, there were wars and chaos, and there were sidelines who were stalking and quarreling, and the Cheng family was defeated like this."

The old man went on to say that this alley has also become Huai Alley since then.Speaking of which, the locust trees at the entrance of the alley were planted by the Cheng family, and they are still hundreds of years old.

The people who live in Huaixiang have passed through two generations at least, and those residents are really reluctant to move away from here.But no matter how reluctant it is, the living are more important.So compared to the future life, abandoning here is nothing.

A large number of residents have moved out, and the elderly are also a little sad.Although the government has provided compensation for the elderly, it is still difficult to arrange a new place of residence for these compensation funds.Now the housing price is higher than the previous year, and the money can't help being spent year by year.The old people usually rely on the government's minimum security payment to live, and they still have nothing to do in the future.

But the old man was optimistic.She has gone through many difficult days in her life, and the calendar has turned over one by one, but life still has to go on.

Zheng Anzhuojia wants to do something for the elderly.I hope the old man can have a peaceful old age.

……

After bidding farewell to the old man, Zheng Andrew already knew the suspect in his mind.

Zheng Andrew walked out of the old man's house and came to the door of Cheng Huai's house.He didn't go in rashly, but called Chen Jiarong first.

It was He Ruoxin who answered the phone, and He Ruoxin asked, "Brother Zheng, where are you?"

"I'm in Huaixiang." Zheng Andrew said, "I've locked down the suspect. He's..."

"Cheng Huai." He Ruoxin continued.

"You also know?" Zheng Andrew asked.

"Monkey and the others have found information about the residents who have not moved out there. And Cheng Huai is also a temporary employee of the game company responsible for organizing the cosplay tour." He Ruoxin explained: "Brother Zheng, this Cheng Huai is not easy, so get out of there quickly. "

Zheng Andro was a little puzzled. In his opinion, no matter how dangerous Cheng Huai was, there was only one person.He didn't know what He Ruoxin was worried about.

He Ruoxin also knew that his words were not strong enough, so he returned the phone to Chen Jiarong.

"Zhuozi, get out of there!" Chen Jiarong answered the phone and said eagerly.

Since going through that battle with He Ruoxin last time, Chen Jiarong clearly knew that some strengths cannot be measured by common sense.Although it is said that the child is silent and strange, but those who have seen it with their own eyes are not afraid.No matter how strong Zheng Andrew is, he will still suffer in the face of these supernatural things.

Chen Jiarong was worried about Zheng Andrew's safety, so he increased the speed of the car again and again, hoping that a pair of wings could be inserted into the car.

Zheng Andrew knew Chen Jiarong, he never exaggerated, and he also knew his own ability.Since Ah Rong's tone was so decisive, there was really something unusual about this Zheng Huai.Although he is confident, he is not conceited.To be on the safe side, he immediately decided to leave.

When Zheng Andrew retreated to the entrance of the alley, a piercing sound suddenly came from behind him.

Zheng Andrews immediately turned sideways to avoid it vigilantly.But when he turned his head and saw what was attacking him, his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw the tall locust trees on both sides shaking their branches as if they were alive.And what attacked it just now was a thick branch.The branches were pulled to the ground, and even the bluestone bricks cracked a gap.

Is this locust tree mature?Zheng Andro suddenly remembered the legend of the Cheng family. This locust tree is at least several hundred years old. Could it be that he has really cultivated to become a master?

No matter how strong Zheng Andrew's heart was, his heartbeat slowed down a beat when he was frightened by this scene.He began to understand why He Ruoxin and Arong insisted that he leave this place quickly.This Cheng family is simply evil!

Immediately afterwards, several locust trees came over again, and each branch was like a soft whip, with the sharp sound of air friction, which made Zheng Andrew dare not doubt its attack power.

Zheng Andrew was only one step away from the entrance of the alley, but in order to avoid the attacking locust tree branches, he had to go back into the alley again.It is no longer easy to want to leave.

Why do these locust trees attack themselves?Is someone artificially controlling them?Could it be Cheng Huai?As the old man said, if the Cheng family is really a family that eliminates ghosts, then maybe there is some special way to control these locust trees.

Zheng Andrew felt like he was going crazy!Such an absurd thing that he was still considering the possibility of it.But if we talk about absurdity, what are these crazy locust trees?What was even more frightening was that these locust trees pulled out their roots from the ground, walked like a human, and surrounded him.

Zheng Andrew looked at these pagoda trees that surpassed the limits of plants, but slowly calmed down.Since Ah Rong and the others knew that Cheng Huai was special, he must also know how to deal with him.All he has to do now is to hold on until Ah Rong and the others rush over.

……

When Chen Jiarong and He Ruoxin arrived at the entrance of the alley, they found that Huai Alley was surrounded by a thick fog, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.This is somewhat similar to the situation before the female ghost appeared in Xing Li's house.Although Chen Jiarong was anxious, his expression was very calm.

He Ruoxin said decisively: "I'm going to save people, you go here to meet them."

Chen Jiarong disagreed, he said firmly: "No, I will go with you. I can use your talisman!"

Seeing his insistence, He Ruoxin didn't talk nonsense and handed him the talisman.They were all the talismans that Chen Jiarong had seen last time, and He Ruoxin didn't need to explain how to use them.

He Ruoxin opened the car door, and walked towards the alley with Chen Jiarong.The mahogany sword was already in his hand, and the precious gourd was pinned to his waist.

Using the spiritual power on the eyes, the mist can't block He Ruoxin's sight.But Chen Jiarong felt that the mist was like a layer of glue, sticking to the eyes and making it invisible.

"Put an evil spirit talisman on your body." He Ruoxin said.

Chen Jiarong immediately stuck a evil spirit talisman on his chest as he said.The golden spiritual power instantly enveloped Chen Jiarong, and at the same time, he could see the way around him clearly.

"Be careful behind!" Chen Jiarong, who had just seen the surrounding situation clearly, saw a locust tree branch attacking Zheng Andro's back, and there was also a locust tree branch in front of him, Chen Jiarong couldn't help exclaiming.

Zheng Andro's body twisted softly into an angle, just in time to avoid this round of thrilling attacks.But he himself was half-kneeling on the ground because of his severe physical exhaustion, unable to get up for a while.

Just now, after the locust trees surrounded him, the locust trees took turns using their branches as whips, without giving him any time to rest.Zheng Andrew was able to dodge easily at first, but when several locust trees attacked him together, his body was soon stained with blood.Sophora japonica twitched on his body, leaving a red mark, and then Zheng Andrew felt hot all over his body.

He Ruoxin blocked a new round of attacks for Zheng Andrew.Unexpectedly, the mahogany sword chopped off the thick locust tree branch directly.

Chen Jiarong also rushed to Zheng Andro's side at this time, pulled him behind her, and asked, "Is it okay?"

Zheng Andrew wiped the blood on his face and said, "It's okay."

Seeing that he spoke with confidence, Chen Jiarong felt relieved.

He Ruoxin cut off another locust branch that was attacking, and told Chen Jiarong: "You take Brother Zheng out, and I'll cut it off!"

"Okay!" Chen Jiarong knew that it was just a burden for him and Zheng Andrews to stay, so he immediately set up Zheng Andrews and walked towards the alley under the cover of He Ruoxin.
