"Retribution, retribution!" Li Zhang lay on the windowsill and muttered in a low voice as he looked at the dark yard outside. This afternoon, he told Han Qi a story about corpse transformation, but it scared him. As soon as the story was finished, Han Qi immediately said goodbye and left. When he left, he kept staring at the hall where the corpse was stored. It was estimated that this story had left him with a deep psychological shadow.

At the beginning, Li Zhang felt a sense of accomplishment for scaring a future prime minister, but at night he realized that he was actually suffering from the consequences. Because in order to catch the thief who was stealing food, he set up a trap in the kitchen shed. After Douzi and the others finished their meal, he pulled the trap up and hid himself behind the window in the room waiting for the thief to come.

But before the thief came, Li Zhang's fear surged up. It was all his fault that he told Han Qi about Stories from a Chinese Studio today. As a result, he remembered them all now. Various horror movies and ghosts in novels took turns to play in his heart, and this thing was not controlled. It was not that if you don't want them, they would disappear immediately. On the contrary, the more you don't want them, the more they would appear.

In this case, Li Zhang's courage disappeared little by little. He always felt that there were some monsters and monsters hidden in the darkness around him, and he might pop out at any time. At this time, he also secretly regretted that he would have asked Douzi or Kuozi to stay for him to monitor him if he had known it. However, he considered that Douzi and the others would have to set up a stall tomorrow, so he took on this matter alone, and ended up falling to this point.

It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. In fact, let alone humans, even beasts like tigers and lions, their first reaction when they encounter danger is to escape. Therefore, people often say that they muster up courage because courage and courage are actually anti-instinct. Human instincts are extremely powerful, and sometimes they cannot be controlled by will alone. Li Zhang is now instinct at the upper hand. Simply put, Li Zhang is now afraid.

"Well, the weather is quite cold, so I'll go to bed and wait." Li Zhang coughed dryly and made an excuse for himself, then quickly got into the bed and got into the quilt. When we were young, we had this experience. Even if we were afraid, as long as we got into the quilt, we would immediately feel a sense of security. The quilt was like an absolute defense, blocking all the demons and monsters outside.

However, Li Zhang had watched too many horror movies in his previous life, and even though he got into bed, he felt a little unsafe. In the end, he simply slept with Li'er, which made him feel much more at ease. But even so, he still stayed up until the second half of the night before falling asleep. During this period, he also paid attention to the movement outside, but found nothing unusual.

"Big 克克克克~" The next morning, Li Zhang was woken up by a violent door slap. He jumped up from the bed and opened the door. But Douzi said anxiously: "Brother, come quickly, something happened in our kitchen!"

Only then did Li Zhang remember the trap he set up in the kitchen, and immediately rushed to the kitchen. As a result, the shed, which was used as a kitchen, was in a mess, several bowls were broken, chopsticks, basins, and jars were thrown all over the floor. However, when Li Zhang saw something on the ground, his eyes shrank and then walked over quickly.

"Brother, isn't this the net you asked me to buy yesterday? Why did you break such a big hole?" Douzi also saw something on the ground at this time and couldn't help but scream.

At this time, Li Zhang also squatted down and picked up the net and observed it carefully. The net was made of a rope as thick as a little finger, very strong, and was usually used by hunters to hunt. However, the strong net now broke a "one"-shaped hole. The broken hole of the rope was very rough. It seemed that it was not cut with a sharp weapon, but it seemed to be torn apart by a huge force. But what kind of monster has such great power?

"Brother, I put the cakes in the pot yesterday are missing again!" At this moment, I saw the ugly lady walking over with annoyance and said, "Originally, she didn't plan to put the cakes in the pot again yesterday, but Li Zhang asked her to keep a few, but today she saw that it was gone again, and the kitchen was still messed up.

"It's okay, it's just a little thief who steals things. I will find a way to catch him!" Li Zhang said calmly at this time, but he was also very annoyed, because the thief had obviously fallen into the trap, but after escaping the trap, he was still busy stealing things and eating. He was so arrogant!

Huozi and others also came at this time. When they learned that the kitchen had been thieves, they were all scolding each other. However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the gate saying, "What thief, are you thieves?"

"Uncle Wu!" Li Zhang immediately stood up when he heard this voice, and then he saw Lu Wu walking in with a smile.

"What's wrong? I heard you were scolding thieves just now. What thief was so blind and actually ran away to steal things?" Lu Wu came to the kitchen at this time and was stunned when he saw the mess here.

"I don't know what's coming to steal cakes every day. I set a trap last night, but he still broke free." Li Zhang said helplessly with the broken net.

Lu Wu took the net and looked at it, but showed a solemn expression. He was experienced and could tell at a glance that the net was not cut open at all, but was torn apart by huge force. However, this net was so strong that even if he had been practicing martial arts for many years, he might not be able to tear it apart.

However, although Lu Wu was surprised, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and comforted the others with a few words. Then he pulled Li Zhang aside and asked in a low voice: "What is this stealing thing? An ordinary little thief can't have such great strength!"

"I don't know either, but I doubted what kind of monster it was. Just the night before yesterday, I heard something happening in the hall..." Li Zhang did not hide from Lu Wu, and immediately told him about the monster he encountered. As a result, Lu Wu frowned tighter and tighter.

"Don't worry about this matter. I will come here to guard it tonight. At that time, you must see if the thief stealing is a human or a ghost!" Lu Wu said solemnly at this time. No matter whether the thief stealing is a human or a ghost, such a strong net can be torn apart by it. It must be extremely powerful. Li Zhang and his children will definitely not be able to deal with it. Moreover, it is difficult to say whether the other party will hurt people, so he must solve this danger.

"Uncle Wu, the other party fell into a trap yesterday. Although he escaped, he probably didn't dare to come tonight, right?" Li Zhang said worriedly at this time. In fact, he was also afraid that Lu Wu would be injured.

"Not necessarily, it still has the leisure to steal something after breaking free, which means it is very courageous. As long as you can find something to eat here, it will definitely come!" Lu Wu analyzed based on his years of experience.

Li Zhang also felt it made sense when he heard this, and nodded immediately. Although he said that he would find a way to catch the thief, he actually had no idea. Lu Wu was different. After all, he was professional. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had rich experience. It should not be difficult to catch a thief who steals things.

At that moment, Li Zhang kept Lu Wu for breakfast, and then Douzi and the others set up a stall as usual. Lu Wu had nothing else to do today, just came to visit Li Zhang's brother and sister, so he also went out to work as a businessman after dinner.

The day passed quickly. When it was just dark, Lu Wu came back again with a few dishes and a pot of wine. Because the thief usually came in the middle of the night, Lu Wu asked Li Zhang to drink and chat with him. He didn't drink much, even if Li Zhang didn't drink, Lu Wu's alcohol tolerance would not make any mistakes because of alcohol.

"Boy, I think your small business is very prosperous. I originally wanted to let you follow me to make a living in the yamen, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Do you have any plans for the future?" General Lu Wu drank the wine glass in front of him, and then stared at Li Zhang and asked.

I saw Li Zhang ate cold vegetables at this time, and complained in his heart that it was really bad. Then he said, "Uncle Wu, the days ahead are still long, and I don't have any specific plans, but I want to save more money and change to a serious residence. After all, living in a charity village is not a big deal."

Since he heard the strange sound in the hall that night, Li Zhang decided to move. He didn't have the money to buy a yard, but it was enough to rent a yard. At least the rent in Bianhe Town is not high. Of course, don't think about Kaifeng City. As a capital city, the housing prices in Kaifeng City are already at its peak, not worse than those in the first-tier cities of later generations, or even higher.

"This is a serious matter. I just happened to be familiar with everyone. I will pay attention to it during this period. It is best to have a shop that can do business in front, so that your business can be moved over!" Lu Wu nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"It's hard to find a yard with a shop, right?" Li Zhang also wanted to find a yard with a shop, but as far as he knew, there were not many yards with a shop in Bianhe Town, and many of them were built by various businesses themselves. Even if he wanted to rent it, he might not be willing.

"Don't worry about this, everything is left to me!" Lu Wu said with great care.

"Then I'll have Uncle Wu!" Li Zhang immediately thanked him when he heard this.

"Are you polite to me?" Lu Wu immediately laughed and scolded, and then started chatting with Li Zhang, just talking about some cases he handled in the yamen and some interesting stories that happened on the market during this period. Li Zhang also interjected a few words from time to time, and the two had a great time talking.

After dinner, Lu Wu asked Li Zhang to turn off the lights, and then he came to the straw hut where he cooked with a knife and hid it. There were a lot of miscellaneous items here, especially a lot of firewood for cooking, which was very convenient for him to hide.

Li Zhang was worried about Lu Wu at first, so he kept lying on the window and looking out. However, in the second half of the night, he couldn't hold back and looked at him in a daze. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Lu Wu shouting in the yard, which made Li Zhang jump up in a panic.
