[013] Weird doubts
Zhong Kui was dumbfounded, looking at the cleanly eaten red bean paste buns and porridge... "Did I really eat that much?"
"Yes!" Vanilla looked at him in disbelief and nodded to confirm. Then she asked with concern: "Brother, are you... okay?"
He was speechless, "I'm fine, I'm fine." As he spoke, his thick eyebrows tightened, and he glanced at Vanilla strangely again, as if there was something he hadn't figured out, "I'll go to the shop, why don't you cook some noodles."
"
"Brother, you go to the pavement and ride a bike!"
"The car is outside!" Zhong Kui replied without looking back.
Is the car outside? Vanilla was puzzled, and then she followed a few steps to the door and took a look. Sure enough, the broken car was leaning against the wall and was not lost at all because it had no tripod and was still there.
Weird, whispered Vanilla.
Zhong Kui, who was pushing the car, heard it and asked, "What's weird?"
Vanilla looked up at the birdcage hanging on a holly tree in the courtyard and said, "I mean, who owns this bird? It was hanging here chirping early in the morning."
"It's from Granny Zhang's house. I saw Master Zhang hanging it just now." Zhong Kui pushed the cart down the stepping stone, "Come as soon as possible after you finish your work. I have other things to do."
"Brother, you go first, I'll be back later."
Bicycling is not allowed in the alley because there are old people and children. Zhong Kui can only push the bicycle out of the courtyard.
Seeing Zhong Kui's back and his broken bicycle, Vanilla was confused.
The tenants in the courtyard took the initiative to greet her, "Good morning, vanilla girl!"
It took her a while to come back to her senses. "Oh, good morning."
The person spoke again, "Vanilla girl, did you see anything last night?"
He hesitated and looked back at the other person, "What?"
"Last night, our family saw a flash of red light coming from the door of your house. They were so scared that they didn't dare to say anything. They haven't gotten up yet. They said they were too scared to sleep last night and now they want to catch up on some sleep."
Light! Vanilla tried hard to recall that there seemed to be a very dazzling light last night. At that time, she thought who was using a super powerful flashlight? She nodded and said: "Auntie, I saw it too, could it be a neighbor who used a flashlight to shine?"
of?"
The aunt said, "No!" She wanted to say something else, but someone at home seemed to be shouting, so she smiled apologetically at Vanilla and said, "I have to go back, I'm doing some cleaning at home."
What exactly is it? Not only did she see it, but others also saw it. Vanilla didn't feel hungry, so she went to the shop to find Zhong Kui to find out.
Zhong Kui was piecing together the tiles. He wanted to put the tiles together into shape... Vanilla came here on foot and stepped into the shop to block the light.
"Brother, what are you doing with such a broken thing? Do you know what happened to our family?"
Zhong Kui stopped what he was doing and looked up at her in confusion, "What happened?"
'Hoo!' He took a long breath, looked around, and said in a very mysterious voice, as if he was afraid that others would see him: "I got up last night and found that the door of our house was open, and your broken bicycle was missing.
Already."
Zhong Kui shook his head, "I don't understand."
"Let's put it this way! I had a nightmare last night. Did you get up and open the door? Did you get up to use a flashlight? Did you move the car?"
"What the hell? Why are you babbling like a fast-talking starling? How do you want me to answer you?"
"Tell the truth." Vanilla said seriously.
"I didn't open the door, I didn't get up to use the flashlight, and I didn't move the car." Zhong Kui said expressionlessly. There was no trace of flaw or falsehood.
"Well, here comes the most important thing, please listen carefully."
"Selling off? Pretending to be mysterious? I'm not interested in playing with you. I have to do other things." Zhong Kui was annoyed. He put the incomplete tiles back into the bag and wanted to go out.
Seeing that the other party didn't want to change her topic, Vanilla became furious and said: "Zhong Kui, listen to me, if there is a problem at home, I don't think you have any qualifications to be Mr. Ghost Hunter, and what dignity do you have?"
Let’s get mixed up in this county.”
Zhong Kui stopped and turned to look at Xiang Xiang with the same dull expression: "You are too serious. I didn't scare your brother too much." After saying that, he took a step back and casually reached out to touch her forehead.
Vanilla flashed her face and said with warmth and anger: "I don't have a cold or a fever."
Zhong Kui's hand froze in mid-air, he retracted it abruptly, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Tell me! What's going on with you, why are you suddenly so inexplicable today, saying some childish words?"
"You are busy with other people's affairs all day long, and you don't care about our family. Last night, I saw the light, your car was gone, and our door was open. Aren't these problems? It's childish there.
Already?" Vanilla asked Zhong Kuidao with an aggressive attitude.
"What you're talking about doesn't exist at all. What's the problem?" Zhong Kui looked anxiously at the sun sliding over his head from the horizon. Pointing at the broken bicycle, "The bicycle you mentioned is missing, but it is clearly missing.
It's right there. You said the door was open. When I got up early, the door was well closed. You said it was bright, maybe it was moonlight or something, or maybe it was the neighbor shooting it with a movie camera."
Zhong Kui's plausive words choked Xiang Xiang to the point where she couldn't give any more reasons. What he said was indeed true. It looked like he had something urgent to do, so continuing to argue like this was not an option.
The two of them didn't speak to each other anymore, and they were in a stalemate for a few minutes. Vanilla relieved the suffocation in her heart. She casually picked up the duster and swept the dust on the counter flexibly, while saying: "I understand, brother.
Go and do your work! Go home early and have lunch."
"Well, don't worry. Nothing will happen at home. You have to believe in your brother and my abilities." He closed the shop again and picked up the compass. An An walked out the door with peace of mind. Behind him was Vanilla's thoughtful gaze, which kept watching him.
Until you can't see it around the corner.
In fact, Vanilla's question also stirred up a small wave in Zhong Kui's calm heart.
He also had doubts, but there was no real evidence to prove whether this incident was real or happened in a dream. This incident happened suddenly and strangely...
At the same time, Zhong Kui also knew that Cai Cao was worried that he would deal with these evil ways every day, that he would bring evil spirits home, and that she was even more afraid of his misdeeds.
Where he is going now is to find the female ghost that haunted him last night. A thin needle, carrying a newly developed colorless but unique smell that can only be smelled by him, is attached to the female ghost.
On the ghost's body.
Zhong Kui had to start again at the door of his home. He had to concentrate on smelling this smell without being distracted at all, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.
