After leaving the hospital, Xiao Xiao did not go back to the teahouse directly, but instead went to Grandpa Zhou's house.
Grandpa Zhou's house is in a mess, and you can smell an unpleasant burning smell if you get close.
At this time, there are no longer the crowds that were onlookers when the incident first occurred, but scattered passers-by will inevitably stop and watch.
The room was left deserted.
I heard that the police are already opening a case to investigate.
The previous strange incidents were naturally included in the focus of investigation.
Many people speculate that what happened to Zhou's hometown was probably caused by one person.
The right person never expected that what seemed like a playful prank almost turned into a murder case.
Everyone is guessing who provoked whom in the Zhou family’s hometown, so that they suffered such a disaster?
If it were before, Xiao Xiao would have thought it was an arsonist, and the previous strange things were just behaviors similar to stepping on the spot.
Although it is a bit strange, it is not incomprehensible. After all, the psychology of criminals is somewhat unreasonable.
However, the smell he felt in the hospital just now told him that this incident was probably not caused by humans.
That child has the aura of a monster on him!
…
There is also a cordon at the door of Grandpa Zhou's house. Even if the door is wide open, there will probably be no unsighted thieves.
What's more, there is a policeman who is doing his duty faithfully at the gate.
Xiao Xiao stepped forward and explained his purpose consciously: "Grandpa Zhou asked me to get something for him."
This is the truth. The incident happened suddenly. The Zhou family’s grandparents left in a hurry and didn’t take anything. Now that the child is still in a coma, they are reluctant to leave.
I was so flustered in the morning that I didn't calm down until noon.
It happened that Xiao Xiao was going to visit a doctor, so I asked Xiao Xiao to come back and get some things.
It's not a lot of stuff, they will pick it up in the afternoon.
There was just a little bear, which was a gift for my grandson’s fifth birthday. The little guy loved it so much that he hugged it every day.
They just want the little guy to wake up and see this little bear, and he will feel better, right?
Grandpa Zhou is a frequent visitor to Xiao's teahouse. It can be said that he has watched Xiao Xiao grow up and regards Xiao Xiao as his grandson. He is not polite to Xiao Xiao and asks him to help him run a trip.
Xiao Xiao naturally accepted this and was happy to take this trip.
Besides, he just needed a reason to go to Grandpa Zhou's house to check.
What a perfect opportunity.
…
The house was not completely burned, and other parts of the house were intact. Only the room where Grandpa Zhou and his grandson were was burnt to a black and dilapidated state.
No one believed it even if it was not a deliberate murder.
"Feifei, please help me search to see if there are any monsters hiding here? Or is there residual evil spirit?" Xiao Xiao turned his head and whispered to Feifei.
After experiencing monsters in his ears before, he knew that not all monsters' auras were as bright as lights in the dark, and some monsters' auras were so weak that they couldn't be detected at all unless they were within a certain range.
But Feifei is also a monster, so he should be more sensitive to monsters than him, right?
"Coffee~" Feifei responded happily, just like a puppy, sniffing around with his nose raised.
…
Xiao Xiao focused on searching back and forth in that burnt room.
Even though the air had passed before, there was still a pungent smell of smoke and fire wafting in the room.
This invisibly adds a lot of difficulty to the search for demonic energy.
Moreover, I don’t know if the monster who attempted arson and attempted murder is still in this room.
No? Xiao Xiao's eyebrows gathered slightly. There was indeed a faint evil spirit floating around this room, but it was indeed filling the whole room, and there was no way to trace it.
"Philip, can you tell me where this monster is?"
"Coffee~Coffee~" Feifei shook his head, looking frustrated.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao squatted down and rubbed Feifei's head, "It's okay, let's go outside and take a look."
"Coffee~"
…
Next, Xiao Xiao and Feifei carefully checked every corner of the room outside, especially the kitchen, because the rice cabinet was here.
Unfortunately, nothing was gained.
He's not really running away, is he?
This would be troublesome.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but walk to the window sill of the living room, as if he wanted to find a way for the monster to leave, but he got an unexpected surprise.
Behind the heavy curtains, there was nothing in the eyes of others, but a purple-red figure was clearly reflected in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
A huge... mouse?
The whole body is purple, with red from the head down to the back. There are also red demonic patterns on both sides of the body, and a slender tail is burning with a ball of flame.
"Coffee~" Feifei made a slight jump and jumped onto Xiao Xiao's shoulders, staring at the big rat in front of him with an obvious look of disgust.
The big mouse turned around when he heard the noise, then shot out with lightning that Xiao Xiao didn't expect, jumped off the window sill, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hey hey, this is the fourth floor!
Well, that's not the point.
The point is, it was the first time he really encountered a monster that turned around and ran away from him.
Even if ordinary monsters don't attack immediately, they should roll up their sleeves and prepare to fight, right?
Xiao Xiao held the balcony with both hands and looked far into the distance. His good eyesight only allowed him to capture a small black shadow.
"What's wrong?" The policeman's confused voice suddenly came from the door.
Xiao Xiao almost had the urge to jump off the window sill and catch up with the mouse.
"fine."
No matter how sorry I am, it will not help.
Xiao Xiao hugged the little bear and said goodbye to the policeman who looked at him suspiciously.
It wasn't until we turned a corner that the policeman's burning eyes finally disappeared.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. He was about to be treated as a suspect.
It's no wonder that after wandering around in someone's house for a long time, he finally came out with a bear in his arms.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed very suspicious.
…
Although he knew there was little hope, Xiao Xiao still searched in the direction where the big mouse last disappeared.
Unexpectedly found nothing.
This is terrible. If this monster hides, it's okay and it's still here. But if it leaves, there's really nothing we can do.
Xiao Xiao stopped and thought for a while, but there was no good solution. When he lowered his head and saw the little bear in his arms, he thought it would be better to send the little bear to the hospital quickly before considering anything else.
It has been delayed for quite a while. Should Grandpa Zhou be anxious?
But then Xiao Xiao discovered that the girls passing by were secretly looking at him with a playful look on their faces... The little bear in his arms couldn't help but have black lines all over his head, what a reflection of his image.
…
When we came to the hospital again, the child was not awake yet, and there were some other people in the ward, probably Grandpa Zhou's children.
Grandma Zhou took the bear Xiao Xiao handed over and sat back on the seat beside the bed, with a haggard and worried look on her face.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry to trouble you." Grandpa Zhou's usually tough body also had a slight rickets.
"No." Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said what he had suddenly thought on the road.
"Grandpa Zhou, do you still have the kind of rice you had before?"
