Day and night tour

Chapter 76 Phalanges
Zhou Lingyi returned to the house. She was not in a hurry to look for Li Shuangyi as it was not easy to find her.

The Xizi gang is not very strong in terms of combat power, but their paper plays allow them to create a dummy out of paper, and they can also use some tricks on themselves to conceal the aura of a sinister person.

With the addition of face changing, you can disguise yourself as another person.

Based on these two points, it is difficult to find.

If the noise is too loud, it might alert the enemy.

"It turned out that the one who seduced your brother's soul away was actually Third Senior Brother?"

Yingzi couldn't believe it, but since Zhou Lingyi had said it for sure, she didn't doubt it.

After all, Zhou Lingyi would never frame Li Shuangyi if she was not absolutely sure.

"Even if he took away the soul, so what? I still support Third Brother! Haha, the best and most famous actor was ruined by your brother. Third Brother should avenge him!"

Shadow made his attitude clear.

"I didn't say that Third Senior Brother shouldn't seek revenge... but Third Senior Brother doesn't seem to be someone who seeks revenge on purpose. I always feel that there are some people with ulterior motives who are using Third Senior Brother. Their real purpose is to deal with our Zhou Clan."

"Who?"

"do not know?"

Shadow volunteered, saying, "In the next two days, I will follow Third Senior Brother and find out who is behind him, and do meritorious service for him..."

Zhou Lingyi tilted her head and looked at Shadow, which made Shadow feel uneasy.

"Why are you looking at me? To be honest, you owe Third Senior Brother, and the old class leader also owes Third Senior Brother. I am helping him to make amends for his crime and repay the favor you two grandfather and grandson owe me."

"I mean, you act too impulsively and can't outsmart Third Brother with your brain. Don't worry about it. I have other plans."

Zhou Lingyi waved to signal the shadow to leave, propped up her head, and wondered who was the traitor in the Zhou family who helped Li Shuangyi to seduce her soul?

The other brothers? She felt that it was unlikely. The fifth and fourth brothers were impossible, and after her examination, the eldest and second brothers did not have any abnormalities.

Maybe the traitor is a master or an apprentice?
Unfortunately, this person is good at hiding his aura, so it is too difficult to find him by force.

"It's better to sit back and wait!"

Zhou Lingyi thought that as long as she followed Li Shuangyi, the traitor would surface in a few days.

……

"Thank you, Young Boss. Good luck to you, Young Boss."

Xiao Fuzi held a handful of small and whole bills in his hand, which added up to about one hundred and twenty or thirty yuan.

Ever since Yuan Buyu pointed out to Zhou Xuan the technique of using the Five Candles Incense, he has become more passionate about Sheng Meng and dragged Xiao Fuzi to practice until 4:30 in the afternoon.

Xiao Fuzi was afraid of the weirdness in the dream at first, but once he accepted it, he found that the weird dreams were extremely interesting and exciting.

And every time you enter a dream, you can get a small reward of three dollars, which makes it even more fun!
"Okay, let's stop here. Fuzi, go help me build the storytelling platform and move the table. I'm going to take a shower and start the storytelling early today."

"Oh." Xiao Fuzi agreed and turned away.

"Don't you want the hard work fee?" Zhou Xuan took out twenty dollars and was about to give it to Xiao Fuzi.

"Young Master, you have given me enough. I cannot ask for more."

Xiao Fuzi smiled innocently, pulled up his baggy pants, and ran towards the ancestral tree.

"Yeah, Fuzi is pretty easy to satisfy."

Zhou Xuan returned to the house, took some clean clothes, carried the basin, and went to the bathhouse.

When passing by the boiler room,
He saw Old Ma, who was in charge of the boiler, huddled beside the stove, wearing a thick coat and with his back hunched.

"Old Ma, it's so hot today. I'm sweating just by staying outside. Why are you still sitting next to the stove?"

"Young Boss, I'm sweating." Lao Ma smiled and rolled up his left sleeve.

I saw that on his arms, he was wearing strings of bodhi seeds, small walnuts, and even dog teeth, all of which were collectibles.

"The main reason for the string to be shiny is that the oil on the skin seeps into the beads, making the string look shiny. When people sweat, there is more oil, and the beads are shiny."

Lao Ma explained.

"You are still a plaything." Zhou Xuan fanned his nose with his hand.

This old man must have just drunk some wine. He smells like alcohol when he opens his mouth. It's really irritating. "I can do anything. I'll show you something new."

Old Ma was drunk and wanted to show off. He took out a bone ring with a red string from his collar, showed it to Zhou Xuan, and asked, "Did you see anything?"

"This ring doesn't look like animal bones."

The bone of the thumb ring is snow-white and dense, not as rough as that of animals.

"You have a good eye. This is made of the screw bone of a human foot. People in the area of ​​Snow Plain Prefecture in the west love to play with bones. They like to make them into bracelets and ornaments. And the bones have to be carefully selected. They don't want bones from ordinary people, but only bones from monks. Look at this, it was cut from the thigh... the piece in the middle of the top of the head..."

Old Ma took them one by one and handed them to Zhou Xuan to "taste".

Zhou Xuan just felt unlucky and stood up and left: "Good fellow, you have a skull, leg bones, and big toes all over your body, and you can make a person out of it. Don't think about this, it's weird! I'm going to take a shower, see you later."

He continued walking towards the bathhouse with the basin in his hand, thinking as he walked: "This boiler room feels wrong!"

What's wrong?
Zhou Xuan always felt that this place was too quiet.

The Zhou Family Troupe is a ghost theater troupe that performs for the dead. Wandering ghosts are floating around everywhere. With his perception, he can occasionally hear some "ghosts crying" wherever he goes, but there are none in the boiler room.

When he thought of this, he turned around and looked again. He didn't see anything, but he felt that the fire in the stove was particularly strong. He thought - maybe the fire in the stove was too strong, so the wandering ghosts didn't dare to get close.

……

After watching Zhou Xuan leave, Lao Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved his stool forward, closer to the stove.

He had just drunk some wine in the afternoon, and it was so strong that it hit his head. Coupled with the excessive intake of energy, his stomach felt extremely uncomfortable and he actually vomited a large pool of food residue.

The ground was full of filth and stench.

Lao Ma suddenly became nervous. He picked up the coal shovel and shoveled the dirty stuff onto the cart filled with coal ash.

Among the filthy things lying on the coal ash, there were actually a few pale things. If you look closely, you can find that they are... human finger bones.

Lao Ma took a shovel and stirred the coal ash in the cart several times. After covering the finger bones with the coal ash, he pushed the cart out to dump the coal ash.

"Wine is not a good thing. Drinking too much almost ruined the job."

Old Ma murmured.

……

At 5:30 pm, Zhou Xuan's storytelling began.

Normally, the cafeteria is the busiest at this time, after all, it is the Zhou family's meal time, but today it is the quietest.

The master and his apprentices, after getting their meals, ran out into the yard with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.

The most enthusiastic ones were Lv Mingkun and the brothers from the Jingyi Room. They always worked at night, and today they were the first to listen to the storytelling with great enthusiasm.

After hearing someone shouting into a loud speaker, "Young Master is here to tell a story," they all rushed to the bathhouse, washed themselves thoroughly, and then sat in two rows in the yard. With no one around, they created an invisible private room out of thin air in the yard.

There is no way. The people in the Jingyi Room deal with corpses every day. The smell of corpses has penetrated into their bones. Taking a shower is of no use. If you get close to them, you can always smell a faint disgusting odor.

However, Lu Mingkun and his friends were used to being looked down upon, so they simply ignored the pointing and criticizing of people around them and listened to the lecture happily.

"In the last chapter, Chixuzi lost his precious axe when he was drunk, and the heroes tracked down Jiuhe Palace..."

As soon as Zhou Xuan clapped the wake-up stick, the audience stopped whispering and listened to the book quietly.

Zhou Lingyi, as usual, moved a stool to listen to the book, glancing around from time to time. Although he had already decided on a "wait and see" strategy, it would be great if he could find the traitor as soon as possible.

"Hey! Who on earth is this person? I can't catch any unusual movement at all." Zhou Lingyi got nothing and could only close his eyes and rest.

……

"If you want to hear what happened next, please wait for the next chapter..."

Zhou Xuan had only prepared three episodes of Shu Liangzi today. As soon as he finished, he put away his wake-up stick and folding fan and ran into the house. He was really afraid that the people in the troupe would be too enthusiastic. If he walked a little slower, a large group of people in the yard would crowd around him and insist on asking him to tell one more episode. He really had nothing to show for it.

Just as he returned to the house, Yuan Buyu hurried in and asked, "Xuan boy, have you finished burning the six-inch incense?"

Zhou Xuan entered the secret realm, took a look, and said, "After burning six inches, there is still some left."

"Come, remember the appearance of our ancestor and have a dream about the gods."

Yuan Buyu closed his eyes and waited for Zhou Xuan to fall asleep.
