In the next two or three days, Jia Zhengjin did nothing.
Although Niu Xi also came to visit once, this important person related to his gambling situation had some contact with Yang Jie, but he was not in a hurry.
If you act rashly and approach Niu Xi or Niu Bao directly, your identity will be exposed easily and be noticed by people in the Four Heavens Palace.
At present, the people in the Four Heavenly Palace have not stopped Niu Shun and Niu Xi from hunting for treasure in the mountain maze. I don't know what they have in mind. They are probably still waiting for me. If they jump out in a hurry, they will fall into the trap.
Of course, it's not like I'm doing nothing. In the past few days, as Yang Lian, I've been taking advantage of the opportunity to entertain village visitors for Young Master Yang Jie, and I've been constantly observing those targets whose identities are most suspicious.
After several days of observation, the two uncles of Yang Jie were temporarily deleted. They did not have any possibility.
It’s just that there are still many people left who are under suspicion and cannot be confirmed.
Yang Jie really studied seriously and did not slack off at all.
It seems that the "ancestral dream" artificially created by Nuwa, that is, the hippocampus effect created using virtual reality images, really became the motivation for his efforts.
It's been business as usual these days, no problems in sight.
Until that night, I didn't know whether it was because the Four Heavenly Palace finally couldn't hold it any longer or something strange happened again.
Late at night, all the fires in Niulan Village were turned off and the villagers fell asleep.
In the darkness, the lights in the Yang family's old house were still on, and the young master Yang Jie was reading in the bedroom with a candle at night.
As a book boy, Jia Zhengjin's incarnation of Yang Lian of course had to accompany him, and two personal maids were also waiting on him.
Yang Jie reads books very seriously and devotes himself wholeheartedly.
If I had been so serious before, I wouldn't have failed the exam.
The book boy and the maid were very quiet and did not dare to disturb him.
In fact, both maids were drowsy and it was good to be able to stand.
In the silence, a strange sound suddenly sounded.
The sound pierced the night sky, like an animal's cry, but I couldn't tell what it was. It was also a bit like a baby crying, but it was quite scary anyway.
It might be annoying to hear it in broad daylight, but in the middle of the night, especially when he was lost in reading, Yang Jie suddenly called out, and Yang Jie was a little frightened: "What's the sound?"
Yang Lian, the incarnation of Jia Zhengjin, looked at each other and shook his head at the same time with the two maids who had been frightened awake.
"Go and have a look!" The voice echoed outside, seriously affecting Yang Jie's study. He turned to look at his book boy.
"Master, this is the middle of the night..."
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing that the book boy seemed to be afraid, Yang Jie frowned, "Take a few servants and get torches. Go and have a look! This one keeps calling, how can the young master study? Get rid of it!"
"Yes..." Jia Zhengjin showed Yang Lian's timidity and hesitantly went out to wake up the servants. He left a few to look at the yard and took the rest out to investigate.
He asked his servant to take the lead, while he hid behind the team and followed.
A group of people came out of the old house holding torches and looked around first, but found nothing unusual.
When the sound started to sound again, I realized that it was a little far away.
"What should I do?" The servant turned around and asked.
Although Yang Lian is a book boy, he has the highest status here. He is the same confidant as the young master's personal maids.
"Although I don't know what it is, I can't disturb the young master's study." Yang Lian, the incarnation of Jia Zhengjin, said hesitantly, "Go and have a look!"
"What if it's something unclean?" The cry was so intrusive that the servant was actually scared.
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us!" As he said this, Jia Zhengjin shrank even further.
There is no other way! The young master has given orders, so we can only go!
The servants all carried whistle sticks and were clearing the way in front.
Jia Zhengjin followed closely behind the team.
This strange cry was actually heard by everyone in the village, and it woke up some of the sleeping people.
But except for Yang Jie's servants, no one came out, and they didn't even light candles or lamps. They just stayed at home.
No one has ever heard this strange cry. The cry of wild animals is not like this. Except for some hunters who are hunting in the nearby safer mountains and forests, they all stay calm.
Even the hunters were in the safer mountains and forests. When they heard this strange sound, they all gathered together and did not dare to move.
Here Jia Zhengjin and his servants followed the sound and soon came to a familiar area - the door of Niu Shun's house.
Under the hazy and cold moonlight, in front of the door of Niu Shun's thatched house, there was a black figure standing motionless, and the strange cry came from its mouth.
In the darkness, it was difficult to see the true appearance of the black shadow, but it looked like a humanoid figure, but also seemed to be covered in hair.
The servants who saw the black shadow were all frightened, and turned around to ask for instructions with their eyes.
Jia Zhengjin was very curious, but the Yang Lian he had changed had a very timid character, and it was impossible for him to lead the team up to check. So he pretended to be shivering and directly ordered: "Go and have a look!"
The servants received the order, but no one dared to move.
The black shadow looked neither human nor beast.
As you can imagine, I'm afraid it's something unclean.
You said that if it were really a beast, it wouldn't necessarily be scary if there were so many people. But it's different with unclean things.
The main reason is that there is a lack of courageous people to lead it. If you are brave enough, you can also influence other servants.
Seeing that the servants were not moving, Jia Zhengjin was about to urge them up when he suddenly saw a fire light up in Niu Shun's house, and then the door opened.
"Why are you howling? You're not going to sleep? If you continue to howl, believe it or not, I'll beat you up?" The real Niu Shun was holding a candle in his left hand and a hatchet in his right hand, and shouted directly towards the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black image disappeared in an instant as if he was scared.
The village returned to peace again.
"What do you do?" Niu Shun was startled when he saw the black shadow disappear. Then he saw the servant standing on the roadside not far away, so he raised his hatchet and asked cautiously.
"What are you afraid of? Look at me!" Jia Zhengjin came out from behind the servant and turned around to scold him.
The servant said in his heart that you were hiding behind and trembling. How dare you scold us? But you didn’t dare to contradict us, so you kept your head down.
"Come with me!" Jia Zhengjin ordered and walked quickly to the door of Niu Shun's house.
"What's going on?" At this moment, the door of Niu Bao's house opened, and Niu Xi poked his head out and asked curiously.
"I don't know what kind of thing was howling at my door, but I drove it away!" Niu Shun replied.
"Then they..." Niu Xi pointed at Jia Zhengjin and the servants.
"I was just going to ask them!" Niu Shun held up a candle and a hatchet and approached directly.
After the strange screams disappeared, some villagers finally opened the doors and windows, but there was only a crack, so they hid inside and watched secretly.
"Put down the knife!" Seeing Niu Shun holding up the hatchet and the servants beside him getting nervous, Jia Zhengjin said quickly, "We are from the Yang family, because the young master heard that strange cry and couldn't calm down to study, so he came here to take a look.
Unexpectedly, I saw a strange black figure at the door of your house, and then you yelled a few times and ran away!"
"So you are from the Yang family?" Niu Shun came over and looked carefully. After confirming, he breathed a sigh of relief and put away the hatchet. "What was that thing just now?"
"We don't know either!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head.
"That thing makes me panic," Niu Xi said. "Why don't you go and talk to the village chief after dawn? It's too scary!" (To be continued)
