"Sister Hu Ling, can I join you when you catch those two little goblins later?" Zhang Tingting asked me.
I thought about it and felt that there was no danger, so I agreed.
"Sister Hu Ling, what are you going to do? They always seem to wait until my mother and I are asleep before coming. Should we go to the bedroom to sleep first?"
Zhang Tingting asked me: "Also, they don't seem to come every night. What if they don't come today?"
When I looked up at the wall clock, it was just ten o'clock. I thought about it and said, "It's still early, let's go look around first!"
As I said that, I got up and opened the door to the living room and walked towards the yard.
The traces of spiritual energy left behind at night are much more obvious than during the day, and maybe you can follow the traces to find where the two girls came from.
Zhang Tingting followed me out.
Of course Zhang Wenhong followed out with some worry.
I first walked outside the window of the living room. There was a clump of weeds that had not been cleared away. Since it was night, dew had already fallen on the grass blades and the leaves were a little wet.
The fingertips lightly touch the slender leaves, and the fingertips feel a slight tingling sensation, as if they were electrified.
This is a residual aura left by the two girls after they stayed here.
I closed my eyes and slowly felt the direction of this spiritual energy, and walked slowly along the traces. After walking about twenty or thirty steps, I was stopped by a wall.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the tall courtyard wall of the Zhang family.#@$&
I put my hands on the courtyard wall, and it was cold to the touch. In addition to the spiritual energy, I actually felt a bit of Yin energy that seemed to be non-existent.
"Where is behind this wall?" I took back my hand and turned to ask Zhang Wenhong.
Because the courtyard wall was too high, I couldn't see what was behind the courtyard wall.
"Over the wall is the villa of the Cheng family. Uncle Cheng was gone before I got married, and his son became angry and managed the family business no worse than when Uncle Cheng was alive.
It's a pity that I was not very lucky. Two of my girlfriends died right after they got married. Later, some people said that the feng shui of their villa was not good. No, Xiao Cheng found another girlfriend half a year ago and stopped living there.
He is here, and I don’t know how he is doing now. Two days ago, I heard from people in the Bay that he went abroad." Zhang Wenhong said to me.%&(&
"Going abroad?" I was stunned for a moment, and then something clicked in my mind.
"How old is Xiao Cheng now, and what does his new girlfriend do?" I turned to ask Zhang Wenhong.
"Xiao Cheng no longer lived here when I came back. I don't know the details. I'm usually busy, so I occasionally heard people from Wanli say a few words when they came to buy pastries from me, and I didn't ask much."
Zhang Wenhong shook his head and said.
"Daughter, are those two things you mentioned coming from next door?"
Zhang Wenhong looked a little nervous when she heard my question. She lowered her voice and asked me: "I heard that if a house is not occupied for a long time, other things will live in it, right?"
"There is indeed an unusual smell next door. I can't tell exactly what it is yet. Can I enter their yard? Take me there first to have a look." I said to Zhang Wenhong.
"But their yard is locked and you can't get in." Zhang Wenhong said a little embarrassed.
When I heard Zhang Wenhong say that the yard was locked, I suddenly remembered that Lu Xiaohong used a small hairpin to open a large iron lock a long time ago, and a smile appeared at the corner of my mouth involuntarily.
But then, there was another pain in my heart.
"What are you afraid of if it's locked? The walls of their house are all made of iron bars, which are easy to break over. I even sneaked in and picked flowers for our class teacher at Christmas!"
Zhang Tingting smiled and said: "Sister Hu Ling, I will take you there. I know where it is easiest to climb in."
"Okay!" I responded, shaking my head hard to get rid of all the messy thoughts in my mind.
Zhang Wenhong walked at the front, opened the rolling shutter door of the pastry shop again, and turned on the street light in front of the shop.
The dark night was instantly illuminated, and a figure quickly ran out from the wall on one side of the pastry shop, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
"There was someone hiding there just now. As soon as I turned on the light, he ran away. It seems that there was a boss's dog following him." Zhang Wenhong patted her chest and said.
I saw the figure just now, but I didn't see the big dog Zhang Wenhong mentioned.
But I already recognized who it was at that glance, and it was not surprising that Zhang Wenhong said there was a big dog following him.
"Dad! Fourteen!" I shouted into the dark: "I have seen you, come out quickly!"
No one came out of the darkness, but I heard Fourteen's low hum.
I half-bowed towards the place where Fourteen made the sound, put one hand on my knee, waved and said: "Fourteen, come here quickly!"
"Ah wu——"
Fourteen let out a low groan, rushed towards me from the darkness, and ran into my arms.
"Why are you here?" I asked, rubbing Fourteen's big furry head: "You are still much better behaved than dad!"
Fourteen turned its head and looked into the darkness behind it. After humming twice, it turned its head and stuck out its big tongue to lick my face, and its warm saliva covered my face.
"Ah, Sister Hu Ling, is this your dog? It's so beautiful and majestic!" Zhang Tingting reached out to touch Shi Shi's head.
Fourteen didn't move, letting Zhang Tingting touch it.
"This dog looks so big!" Zhang Wenhong seemed to be a little afraid of dogs. She moved back and looked at me and said, "My eldest daughter, you just called me dad. Is your dad here too?"
After thinking about it for a while, she said nervously: "My eldest daughter, tell my aunt that you are still studying and your father doesn't agree with you doing this, so he secretly followed you to stop you?"
I was stunned, then smiled and explained to Zhang Wenhong softly: "Aunt Zhang, where are you thinking? My father used to work in my field. He injured his head some time ago, which caused him to act a little..."
I really didn’t want to say the word “dad is crazy”, so after a pause I said, “He is acting a bit like a child now. He probably saw me coming out after dinner, and was a little worried about me, so he secretly took Fourteen and
Out."
Zhang Wenhong heard what I said and immediately understood the meaning of my words. She looked up into the darkness, nodded and said, "He is a good father. It's hard for him. Even after this, I still haven't forgotten you, my daughter."
I didn't say anything, and followed Zhang Wenhong's gaze into the darkness. My heart, which had been blown cold by the cold wind, instantly felt a lot warmer.
"My eldest daughter, your dog's name is Shi Shi. It's so big, but it doesn't bite people, right?" Zhang Wenhong withdrew her gaze, looked at Shi Shi with some fear, and said again.
