Chapter 123 The Dark Shadow in the Old House

I thought about it and said, "Letting a prostitute come to mess things up, this person has very strange thoughts, so let's lock him up. Lock him up for a few days and let him go home to visit his family."

The shopkeeper was startled by what I said. He looked up at me in disbelief and tried to persuade us to stay. Of course I knew what he meant. If the store was closed, it would easily affect the business, and they would get less profits.

“How can you be so stupid? Take good care of the customer. I will go check on this person.” I didn’t want to argue with the shopkeeper anymore. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was sensible and went out and entered the box after he had made up his mind.

Miss Juan must have been stunned by how the problem was resolved so quickly. She was obviously at a loss. The shopkeeper kindly asked Miss Juan to leave. He must have made sure that the person had gone far away.

She just came to find me. I was already standing in the box at that time. I couldn't understand why a person from a brothel would come to mess things up. I already knew that the person behind Miss Juan was Shen Jing's subordinate.

Shen Jing wouldn't possibly try to trick me. Besides, this is like my own place. I want to go into the box and observe carefully to see if there is anything different.

The shopkeeper came in and told the waiter to leave and asked him to follow. I saw the shopkeeper took out an ingot of money with great satisfaction and asked him to take care of the waiter's feelings.

Seeing that it was not late yet, I hurried to check other stores. The most important thing was to let them be more cautious. This man had set his sights on my place first, so there might be problems with other places as well.

I used the reputation of providing benefits to my employees to ask all the shopkeepers to be careful and respond cautiously when something happened. Except for a few pharmacies that were handed over to Hongdou for questioning, I was so tired that I almost passed out while sitting at the table.

Chatting with people uses up too much of your brain cells, and using up your brain cells makes you easily tired. I saw that it was getting dark, so I went back home, found a horse, and went out.

As soon as I got on the horse, I heard Jinzhu's voice telling me that Nuo Nuo was not in any danger. However, I was still worried, so I asked Jinzhu to find something that could allow night vision.

Just when I was about to give up waiting, Golden Pig took out a flower. I was really speechless. Isn’t this the Soul-Separation Flower?

You want me to leave my soul and go out to look for Nuo Nuo? In that case, there really is no need for a lamp. I waved my hand and looked at the moon in the sky. It was quite bright. If I was careful on the road, there should be no problem.

The golden pig ignored me and stuffed the flower into my mouth when I wasn't paying attention. The flower was very strange. It melted as soon as it entered my mouth and I couldn't spit it out no matter what I did. The golden pig looked very proud.

I rode away on my horse. When I was quite far away, I heard Hongdou calling me from behind. I didn't care and rushed towards the old house. I felt dizzy all the way and cursed in my heart.

Is my soul really going to leave my body? Just when I thought I was going to faint on the horse's back, the wind blew on my head and I woke up instantly. I found that everything in front of me became very clear.

It was like wearing night vision goggles. I was still admiring the magic of this thing in my heart, until I saw the light coming out of my hands. I was so angry and helpless that I punched the air several times.

Isn't this the light that the Soul-Separating Flower emits at night? It's so bright that I can't help but let others see it. How can I sneak into the village?

Fortunately, everyone in the village went to bed early tonight, so no one saw a firefly as big as me.

I was quite puzzled, and at first I wanted to lead the horse and walk over slowly.

Finally, he thought it was no use, gritted his teeth, and rode forward with all his might.

When I looked back, I saw that several lights were on, and I felt a little more at ease.

That's right, otherwise it would have been like walking into a ghost town, it would have been scary.

I tied the horse in front of the door of the room where Zi Fu used to live. They had a stable and some hay to feed the horse. It also allowed the horse to have a rest and not get too tired.

I looked at the annoying light on my body and tried to dig my throat to spit out the Soul-Separation Grass.

I was already vomiting yellow water, and when I saw the light on my body begin to fade, I felt a little excited.

It seems that my digestion is not very good. I haven’t digested it completely yet.

I looked at the light on my body which had mostly faded away, and began to tiptoe towards Nuonuo.

From a distance I saw that the old house was brightly lit. No wonder the villagers went to bed so early today.

I'm sure you'd think the old house was haunted, and you'd fall asleep when you see ghost fire rising to the sky. The main reason is that the fire in this old house is abnormal.

From a distance, it looked green. If I didn’t know Nono and the others, I would have been so scared that I would have run home.

I've also heard about this ghostly fire from people in the village, who said it would light up once every certain period of time.

They all said that it was the ghost in the old house coming to claim their life, but I definitely didn't believe it, so I leaned against the wall to listen for any sound from inside.

I just happened to hear "Cicicila" in the corner, and it sounded like someone was scraping the bark with a branch.

This guy went through so much trouble just to scrape the bark. A hundred question marks popped up in my head.

I took out the knife, trying to see if I could cover up the light on my body. It seemed that the light was still on my body, but it was invisible.

I was speechless at first. What kind of flower is this? Even the knife is useless.

I called out the golden pig in my mind, but the guy didn't respond at all.

I made a straw hat out of paper strips that can cover my head.

Then he lay down on the other side of the wall and looked inside. Isn't this nonsense? He heard a sound over there and popped his head over there.

Then I saw a small squirming figure in the direction of the corner where I had been staring blankly.

My heart tightened. What on earth was this? Could it be a giant caterpillar or something?

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. But when I saw some pictures on the ground, I felt relieved.

I squinted my eyes and looked carefully, isn’t it Nono?

Seeing Nuo Nuo, my heart felt relieved a little, and I didn’t dare to call him out loud.

Get a small rock or something and see if you can hit him next to it.

Before I threw the thing in my hand away, Nuo Nuo reacted by glaring in my direction.

That look was fierce, completely different from the Nuo Nuo I knew.

Nuo Nuo must have realized that it was me, and his fierce look disappeared, replaced by confusion.

I waved at him, wanting him to come over, but Nuo Nuo just shook his head and pointed in the direction of the yard.

Then I noticed a figure in the yard, dark and with his back to me. He probably didn't expect anyone to appear.

He was completely off guard, and since Nuonuo was there, he didn't move at all.

Nuonuo wrote something, and a piece of paper appeared in his hand, which he threw towards me.

I caught it steadily, stepped back from the wall, unfolded the paper, and wanted to see what he had written.

There was just the word "go" written on the paper. I turned the paper over and over to make sure it was just the word "go".
