The dim candlelight was flickering, and the sound of paper money burning in the iron pot touched the nerves of everyone in the hall. In such an atmosphere, everyone's nerves were tense.
Bang!
A slight noise startled everyone. Zhang Zeai almost dropped the umbrella in his hand. Even Uncle Qin Yu trembled for a moment. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, which was towards the balcony.
, everyone was stunned when they looked over there.
Because, outside the glass of the balcony, a pair of green light spots were staring at them. This green light spot made everyone feel frightened. It was not until the next moment when a "meow" cry came that everyone relaxed.
One breath.
It's a cat, it's the sound made by a cat trying to come in but bumping into the glass.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the cat standing outside the glass on the balcony seemed to be suddenly stimulated. It desperately scratched the glass with its claws. Then, under the faint starlight outside the balcony, Zhang Zetao and others could still
See the cat's claws shining with cold light.
Meow~
A series of extremely sad calls came from the cat's mouth. This sound was different from the sound of a baby crying when the cat was in spring. This sound was full of resentment. Yes, even Zhang Zetao and others who did not understand cat language heard from it.
There was resentment in this cry.
But what grudge can a cat have?
Bang bang bang!
The cat seemed unwilling to break the glass. Every impact hit Zhang Yuanhe's ears, just like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts, making their heartbeats speed up with the impact.
"Would you like to go over and take a look?"
This was the thought in the minds of everyone present at this moment, but the next moment when everyone had this thought in their hearts, they cast their eyes in the direction of Qin Yu. At this sight, everyone was stunned.
The place where Qin Yu was standing before was now empty, with no trace of Qin Yu at all.
"Qin...where did Master Qin go?" Zhang Zetao couldn't help but ask.
When the lights were turned off, everyone's eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness, but after such a long period of buffering, everyone's sight gradually recovered. The most important thing is the light produced by burning paper money. Although it cannot be compared with electric lights, at least it is
It allows everyone to see clearly clearly.
Looking around, there was no sign of Qin Yu in the entire hall. Zhang Yuanhe also frowned. Why did his nephew suddenly disappear?
"Do you want to call Mr. Qin?" Liu Yang on the side also suggested anxiously.
Snap!
However, just as Liu Yang finished speaking, the glass on the balcony finally broke, and everyone saw the pair of green eyes rushing towards the hall. The speed was so fast that almost before everyone could react, they were already there.
I came to the sofa.
When they got closer, everyone finally saw the color of the cat clearly. It was a white cat. At this moment, all the hair of the white cat was standing on end, and it was in a state of frizz.
Meow!
The white cat jumped on the coffee table, and the next moment it raised its paws to grab Zhang Zetao's father. The cat's claws shone with a cold light, which made people believe that if the claws were carried out, they would definitely leave a few horrific blood marks.
However, it was too late to rescue. Zhang Zening was standing at the door, Zhang Zetao was still holding the little man in his hand, Zhang Zeai was holding an umbrella and did not react at all, and Zhang Yuanhe and Liu Yang were standing relatively far away.
A bloody scene seemed to be about to happen. However, at this moment, a light appeared on Zhang Zetao's father's body. This light directly hit the white cat. The white cat screamed and fell to the ground from mid-air.
.
The appearance of this light stunned everyone because they didn't know where the light came from.
"Scarecrow...people have changed."
The next moment, Zhang Zetao's voice was trembling, but his words also attracted everyone's attention. Zhang Yuanhe and others saw that one of the three incense sticks stuck on the head of the scarecrow in Zhang Zetao's hand was
The incense is broken.
Nothing happened to the old man who was attacked by the white cat. Instead, something happened to the scarecrow who was carefully protected by Zhang Zetao. This scene made everyone present think of what Qin Yu said earlier.
"Protect this little man, because this is related to the old man's life."
Zhang Zetao and the others did not have time to think too much about the hidden meaning of Qin Yu's words, because the next moment, another surprise occurred.
On the balcony, another pair of green eyes appeared. These eyes fell on the balcony railing, staring quietly at the movement in the hall.
"Goo!"
A piercing cry came from the balcony. Before Zhang Yuanhe and the others could see clearly what animal appeared this time, a cold wind blew, and the eyes on the fence had already flown into the hall.
"It's an owl!" Liu Yang had sharp eyes and recognized the identity of these green eyes.
The owl is an ominous animal in many places, even more disgusting than the crow, because the crow is regarded as a mascot at least in some places, but the owl is a symbol of ominousness everywhere.
Owls call dead people. This is a proverb in many places, which means that once an owl hoots, there must be a dead person in someone's house. Therefore, the appearance of owls is disgusting to everyone.
The owl flew into the hall, and like the white cat, it flew directly towards Zhang Zetao's father. Its sharp claws quickly fell from the height. If this happened, Zhang Zetao's father's head would probably split open.
This time, Zhang Zeai reacted because she was holding an umbrella. If the owl wanted to catch her father, it had to scratch the umbrella first.
Zhang Zeai raised his umbrella high in an attempt to stop the owl. However, the owl seemed to be waiting for this moment deliberately. The moment Zhang Zeai raised his umbrella, it even spun violently, like a hovering airplane, and suddenly landed downwards, passing through the umbrella.
Came to the chest of Mr. Zhang.
Cuckoo!
A shrill cry came from the owl's mouth, and the next moment, the owl's sharp claws pecked at Old Secretary Zhang's chest.
call out!
A ray of light still appeared, this time the light shot out from Secretary Zhang's chest and hit the owl's face. The owl didn't even utter a cry, but followed the white cat's footsteps and fell to the ground.
This time, without Zhang Zetao opening his mouth, everyone looked at Zhang Zetao, and the result was as they expected. The only two remaining Zen incense sticks on the head of the scarecrow held by Zhang Zetao were broken again.
branch.
No need for Qin Yu to explain, everyone finally understood the function of the Zen incense on the scarecrow's head. It was used to save lives. The two broken Zen incense had already saved Old Secretary Zhang's life twice.
However, there is only one Zen incense left, which means that Secretary Zhang still has one chance to save his life. What if this Zen incense is also broken?
