Chapter 156 The Shadow
There were a lot of mud stuck to the soles of a pair of sneakers, and the light rain was still falling, with no intention of stopping.

The two of them went out without umbrellas, so they had to wear hats and search around.

The sky was gray, and a rain made their vision a little blurry, making them unable to see the road in front of them clearly.

Su Baiyi was already a little timid, and reached out to hold Zhou Shu's arm: "Shu Shu, it's so cold."

Zhou Shu didn't say anything. He held Su Baiyi's arm tighter and felt equally nervous.

This address was checked by Su Baiyi. Under Li Jinyan's surveillance, it was really difficult to take action.

But he didn't expect that he would be so unlucky today. In addition, this place was close to the border and was not considered safe. Zhou Shu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just as she was thinking this, a hidden village suddenly appeared in their sight.

Originally, the two of them did not notice the village due to terrain problems, but now they discovered the village while following this path.

She glanced at the name of the village and then at the letter in her hand.

"Tongwu Village..."

After confirming that they were the same one, Su Baiyi's eyes lit up in an instant: "Shu Shu! It's right here!"

"Let's go find that family."

Zhou Shu took the initiative to stand in front of Su Baiyi. She was not sure if there was any danger. Asking Su Baiyi to accompany her was very risky in itself.

Of course Zhou Shu didn't want to let Su Baiyi go ahead to explore the road again.

Although there is no license plate in this backward village, each household is also marked with a Tongwu Village number.

Huo Jingtong gave it to the house No. [-]. Zhou Shu took Su Baiyi around and found the house No. [-].

This is a very dilapidated house, and it's dark all over, but it still can't hide its shabby appearance.

Su Baiyi had never seen such a house before. After a lot of trouble, she found such a house. Her heart was trembling.

Moreover, the sky was completely dark, and Zhou Shu did not dare to walk around. Looking at this family, it was not easy to wander around at this time.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Shu walked forward and knocked on the door of the house.

However, after knocking for a while, no one opened the door.

There was a trace of doubt in Zhou Shu's eyes. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

But looking at the original copy given by Huo Jingtong, it turned out that this address was correct.

Zhou Shu knocked on the door and spoke again: "Is anyone here? Is anyone here?"

However, at this moment, the door behind the two of them opened with a creak.

Su Baiyi screamed subconsciously and almost got into Zhou Shu's arms.

"What's it called? Calling the soul?!" The old man who spoke had a bad tone and glared at them viciously.

Although it was pitch dark around him, he didn't turn on the lights in his home, only a faint light came from the living room.

Therefore, this person's whole body was also pitch black, as if he was completely in darkness.

Zhou Shu couldn't help but tremble, Su Baiyi kept hiding behind her, trembling and unable to say a complete sentence.

Zhou Shu smiled apologetically at her: "Sorry, old man, we didn't mean to disturb you. We are tourists visiting Haishi. We heard about the beautiful scenery here and accidentally lost our way."

"Who knew it would rain suddenly, and it's too late to go back now, so I wanted to see if there was anyone I could stay with. Old man, can you take us in for one night? We'll leave early tomorrow morning!"

As soon as he heard this, the old man closed the door directly, and a cold voice came out at the same time: "I won't borrow it!"

Zhou Shu looked at the old man's back completely melting into the darkness. It looked very scary, which made Zhou Shu feel a little uneasy in his heart.Inexplicably, Zhou Shu felt a breath of death. This old man...

Behind her, Su Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief and tugged on Zhou Shu's hand.

"Shu Shu, why do you ask to live in this man's house? I think he is so cruel."

"We can't hang out all night, we'll get sick, and we have to find a place to stay."

Zhou Shu looked back at the house behind him with a complicated expression.

"What's more, we still want to check the situation of the family across the street. We can't alert the snake. He didn't agree anyway, right?"

Zhou Shu smiled nonchalantly, looking at the house behind him with unwillingness in his eyes, and clenched his hand into a fist.

She just stood there and watched. Su Baiyi felt Zhou Shu's strong emotions and carefully pulled Zhou Shu's hand: "Shu Shu, otherwise let's go back first. It will be the same if we come back tomorrow."

Su Baiyi folded his arms and had goosebumps all over his body.

It rained, and all my clothes were wet. It was really uncomfortable.

In addition, it was extremely dark around here, almost to the point where you couldn't even see.

If it weren't for the light that the two of them took with their mobile phones, they wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.

Zhou Shu's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he nodded: "Okay, let's go back first."

The two turned around and walked back. Zhou Shu's uneasiness grew. Although Li Jinyan's bodyguards were in the dark, she was not sure whether they were here to protect her.

There is also Su Baiyi with him, and there is no reason to let this eldest lady accompany him to take risks.

The two walked slowly, fearing that they would make a mistake or encounter something in the dark night.

However, the two of them had just turned around and had not yet walked 500 meters away.

A man held an umbrella and ran over in a hurry. His voice came through the rain and fog: "Wait!"

This sound was not very clear, and Su Baiyi was so frightened that her whole body started to tremble.

Her teeth were chattering: "Shu, Shu Shu, did you hear me?"

Zhou Shu subconsciously looked around and saw a black shadow in the dark night, but the surroundings were too dark.

No matter how good her eyesight was, she couldn't see clearly, so she only lowered her voice to remind Su Baiyi: "There is someone behind you."

The man quickly walked up to the two of them, and they saw clearly that he was a middle-aged man. He looked very thin and not very tall.

At this moment, Zhou Shu was not only on guard, but also subconsciously thought that it was impossible for such a man to be hired as a security guard or driver.

Not to mention a wealthy family like the Li family, they should value appearance more.

For some reason, she felt relieved.

But as soon as this idea came up, Zhou Shu shook his head violently.

She didn't even know who the visitor was. Maybe it was the opponent who opened the door for them earlier?
It had been raining quite hard before, and due to the distance, the surroundings were so dark that she couldn't see the face clearly, and could only roughly see an outline.

While Zhou Shu was struggling, the man opposite spoke: "I heard you said you wanted to stay overnight and come with me."

Zhou Shu subconsciously looked at Su Baiyi, and when Su Baiyi nodded, Zhou Shu followed the man's footsteps.

In fact, she was reluctant to go with this man. Zhou Shu always felt that his eyes were not too friendly.

Then why did this man let himself and Su Baiyi live in it?
