Chapter 240 The villagers who visited at night
Zhao Qun's work and rest time is different from that of normal people. Of course, this is also closely related to his profession as a corpse exorcist.
After cleaning the room with me, Zhao Qun went to the small kitchen outside the yard, drank a bowl of clear soup that he had made for lunch, and then continued to sleep.
I saw that he was sleeping and didn't want to go out anymore. I couldn't stand the group of seven aunts and eight aunts outside the village who were eager to give me a 'blind date'.
So I went back to the room, lay down on the earthen kang, and started staring at the ceiling in a daze. It was a small bungalow with one floor.
Maybe it's because Zhaojiacun is located on the back side of the mountain. Lying in this small bungalow, it feels a little bit cool.
I pulled the quilt that Zhao Qun had prepared for me and covered me with it, and continued to stare at the ceiling.
Not long after, I felt inexplicably sleepy. After a few attempts, my fragile will failed to keep me awake.
So, I hugged the quilt and went to chat with Duke Zhou in my dream.
I slept for a long time, and in a daze I heard a lot of people talking. Their voices were all a little rushed, and they were obviously anxious about something.
Finally, as those people's voices became louder and louder, I couldn't sleep at all.
I sat up with red eyes, put on my shoes and walked out of the house dissatisfied.
If you look at the sky, it's still dark.
I took out my phone and saw that it was around two o'clock in the middle of the night.
God, even if I went to bed after five o'clock in the afternoon, it would still be very annoying if you woke me up first.
I walked toward Zhao Qun's house with a drooped face. All the sounds came from his house. My curiosity led me to go and take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped onto the threshold of Zhao Qun's house, a figure walked towards me, and then I bumped into that person solidly.
"Ouch," I touched my head and looked up. Oh, this man is really tall. But because of the color of the sky, I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The man was knocked by me and was stunned for a moment, but the next second, he apologized to me and walked out of the house quickly.
"Is there something wrong with him? In such a hurry?" I looked back at the man and muttered in my heart.
As soon as he saw me walking in, Zhao Qun, who was surrounded by a crowd of people in the center, pushed aside the crowd and shouted to me: "Little brother, wake up. I have nothing to do. Are you still sleeping? Stay next to me first."
Just wait for me for a while. I have something to do now."
"Well, Mr. Zhao, please do your work first." I responded casually.
Then he walked to the wooden chair next to the wall and sat down on it.
People say that the longest time passes at night. Now, I really feel it.
After Zhao Qun and others finished speaking, I felt like a century had passed. But when I took out my phone and looked at it, I saw that only more than half an hour had passed.
People left one after another, and finally Zhao Qun, who was sweating while talking, was released.
Zhao Qun also sat on the chair next to me, and I got up and gave him a cup of tea.
"Why are those people still coming at the door so late?" I asked in confusion.
Zhao Qun chuckled and said: "I can't help it. The people in the village came to see me in the middle of the night just to follow my daily routine. Because I refuse to receive guests during the day, even if they come, they will stand on my bed.
By the way, I won’t pay any attention to them.”
Hey, after hearing what he said, I immediately felt that this little old man had a weird temper and was a bit self-centered.
"Then when Captain Zhang comes this afternoon," I couldn't help but complain.
"Captain Zhang is an old friend of mine. How can he be compared to this group of people in the village? Captain Zhang and I are really brothers who have experienced life and death." Zhao Qun gave me a thumbs up.
He said, raising his eyebrows as he spoke, for fear that I wouldn't know the deep friendship between the two.
We talked for a while and had a heart-to-heart talk.
Zhao Qun stood up, began to tidy up his appearance, and then made a gesture as if he was about to go out.
I looked at him in confusion, where was Zhao Qun going in the middle of the night?
As if he guessed what I was thinking, he said: "Little baby of Luo Jun's family, although they invited some gentleman from the next village over, I still decided to go and have a look tonight. If anything happens
An accident would be bad."
After saying that, Zhao Qun wanted to go out.
I stopped him and asked him to wait for me. I wanted to go and take a look with him. Zhao Qun didn't say anything, so he acquiesced. He quietly locked the door of his house, and then stood at the door of my house and waited.
I took out the cinnabar and the like that I had already prepared from my bag, as well as some talisman papers that I asked Yang Wei to draw for me to ward off evil spirits.
I simply took it all with me at once.
It's good to have it just in case.
We set off, Zhao Qun walked in front to lead me the way, and I followed him with a flashlight.
It was a bit chilly in the village at night, and the cool breeze blew the leaves on the trees, making a rustling sound.
There is an inexplicable feeling of fear in human ears.
Although I have the courage to face dead bodies and zombies, if you give me such an environment, I will scare myself to death.
I still remember that when we first joined Qianmen, Brother Xiao specially took us to a haunted house in an amusement park in order to exercise our courage.
At that time, Ye Wudao had just joined Qianmen not long ago.
But as we all know, Ye Wudao is stupid and bold, and he dares to try anything no matter what.
Therefore, during the entire exercise in the haunted house, I was the only one who screamed the most miserable and loudest. There were also others who screamed, but only the two girls inside the door screamed twice. After getting used to it, they stopped screaming.
So scared.
But as for me, I shouted almost from beginning to end without taking a break in between.
After leaving the haunted house, this embarrassing incident became a joke among my brothers. Sometimes when a bunch of us get together, they will bring up this incident and laugh at me.
Because I have been living in the city since I was a child, I rarely go into a village built on a mountain, let alone this late at night, where I can't even see my fingers.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of the dark? Come and walk with me." Zhao Qun, who has an extremely strong sixth sense, suddenly turned around, looked at me and said with a smile.
I smiled awkwardly, but still couldn't overcome the fear brought by the environment, and obediently walked to Zhao Qun's side.
"That's right. Children of your age have to rely on their father to protect them. Captain Zhang is also serious. It's such a child's play for a kid like you to protect me." Zhao Qun didn't even look at me.
, said with his eyes looking straight ahead.
