Turning around the long corridor, Huang Dan walked for a while before arriving at Ye Lan’s residence. He opened the door and entered, and the smell of medicine came to his nostrils.

Ye Lan was lying on the bed, her face was pale and bloodless.

This was very different from what Huang Dan had seen that day, that charm was gone, replaced by an unspeakable depression.

In the town, men are not allowed to casually enter the room of girls. If it is spread, it will be bad for their reputation.

Ye Lan was indoctrinated with foreign ideas, and under her influence, Father Ye was also enlightened a lot, and this time it was a special situation.

Only then could Huang Dan come in. He walked to the bed and called out the woman’s name.

Ye Lan opened her eyes when she heard the shout. She moved her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but because of the wound on the corner of her mouth and face, she didn’t make a big arc, “Song Wang, I saw it.”

Huang Dan asked, “What did you see?”

Ye Lan was stunned, and grabbed Huang Dan’s arm, “It’s him, Song Wang, I saw him!”

Huang Dan was caught off guard and was almost pressed against Ye Lan by that force. He supported the edge of the bed and said, “Calm down.”

Ye Lan kept shaking her head, “No no no no him.”

She added, “It’s him, Song Wang, it’s really him, just walking on the street, the same, I won’t see it wrong.”

Huang Dan found that this woman was unconscious and incoherent. What happened to her during the few days she disappeared? Seeing Father Ye’s reaction, she didn’t seem to have been defiled by someone, but she seemed to have suffered some kind of mental shock, experienced great joy and great sorrow, and couldn’t accept it for a while.

Ye Lan said sadly, “Song Wang, I’ve been looking for him for days, but he disappeared again.”

Huang Dan raised his eyes in astonishment, “You mean, you’ve been looking for him since that day?”

Resentment appeared on Ye Lan’s face, and it turned into disappointment, “Yes, I searched in the town all afternoon, and then I went to the countryside, the county town, and I searched everywhere I could.”

Huang Dan, “……”

Master Ye sent someone to search from behind, and Ye Lan ran ahead, there was always a distance, no wonder they couldn’t find anything.

He looked at the haggard woman, “Have you eaten these days? Where did you live?”

“I don’t remember.” Ye Lan pressed her eyebrows, “Song Wang, he has come to Yueshan Town, I will definitely find him, I will.”

Huang Dan thought to himself, Ye Lan is very lucky, a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam with her thighs exposed is very dangerous outside, nothing happened to her, all the skin injuries were caused by herself.

However, Ye Lan knows some boxing, even the original owner can’t beat her, so kittens and dogs can’t get close to her.

Huang Dan heard woman’s voice, “Song Wang, get me a cigarette.”

He didn’t move.

Ye Lan urged, “Go, it’s on my dressing table.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s not good to smoke while taking medicine.”

“I’m not sick. What kind of medicine should I take? Don’t worry, I know.” Seeing that the young man still didn’t move, Ye Lan said, “If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself.”

When she was about to get up, the neckline of her pajamas was slightly opened, revealing a white collarbone.

Huang Dan turned his head and looked away, “I’ll get it for you.”

Ye Lan caught the cigarette case, quickly bit the cigarette butt, and lit it with the lighter.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Ye Lan’s demeanor became elegant and charming. She laughed, the wound on the corner of her mouth was split open, and blood dripped out slowly, “Song Wang, my love is here”

Huang Dan shook his head, he didn’t understand, what obsession means.

Ye Lan’s mood was extremely unstable, she wanted to run outside desperately, as if something outside was attracting her, Father Ye had no choice but to ask someone to lock the door, and sent several servants to guard the door.

Father Ye thought it was all right, but he didn’t know that Ye Lan would knock the maid unconscious and take the opportunity to go out.

Fortunately, Father Ye happened to come to see her and was bumped into her. Otherwise, don’t know how much manpower and material resources would be spent to find her.

What’s even more frightening is that no one can’t find it no matter what, or when someone find it, it is no longer a human being.

The death of the salesman was insignificant to the people in the town, and they had almost forgotten about it, but Father Ye didn’t. He felt a little uneasy, and hoped that the woman would stay at home and not run around for the time being.

Father Ye asked someone to invite Huang Dan.

Huang Dan went to see Ye Lan, more emaciated than last time, he left after a short stay, “Uncle, I’m not a doctor.”

Father Ye was helpless, “Nephew, do you have any suggestions?”

Huang Dan is powerless.

Father Ye sighed, “Lanlan wasn’t like this before, and now she doesn’t listen to anything I tell her. If I had known earlier, I might as well have let her stay abroad.”

Huang Dan said abruptly, “The love Ye Lan yearns for is freedom.”

It took Father Ye a long time to understand, “Nephew, what do you mean, Lanlan has a sweetheart?”

Huang Dan said he don’t know.

Father Ye said in a deep voice, “She is the daughter of my Ye family, and only the best can be worthy of her. The marriage I arranged for her, whether it is the man’s family background, birth, or his own conditions, knowledge, cultivation, ability, They are the best in the entire county.”

Huang Dan said, “Maybe she doesn’t like it.”

Father Ye knocked on the table, “Then why didn’t she tell me? I am her father, why can’t we sit down and talk about it?”

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Huang Dan didn’t give him a chance.

Bai Ying twisted her waist and walked into the hall, hesitated to speak, “Master, I was thinking, Lan Lan is not bewitched, right?”

Father Ye looked up, “Go on.”

Bai Ying said, “When I was very young, one day, a relative of my family behaved very strangely, crying and laughing for a while, and then…”

She spoke carefully and slowly, and there was an unchangeable flow in her tone.

After hearing this, Father Ye had a strange expression, “Eat incense ash, drop of dog’s blood?”

Bai Ying nodded.

Father Ye showed hesitation.

Bai Ying massage his shoulders for him, “Master, you can’t delay, one more day of delay will hurt Lanlan’s body by one more day, it’s better to do this matter as soon as possible.”

Father Ye sent someone to prepare incense ash and force-fed it to Ye Lan.

That night, Ye Lan had continuous diarrhea.

Father Ye rushed to find Bai Ying, dragged her from the bed to the ground without saying a word, and slapped her across the face.

Bai Ying covered her face and said sadly, “Master, what are you doing? I’ve been busy working for this family these years. I don’t have any credit, but I have work hard as well. What’s not good enough, you…”

Father Ye interrupted and scolded, “You did a good job!”

Hearing that Ye Lan had diarrhea from eating incense, Bai Ying first put on an expression of astonishment, and then she felt aggrieved. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, “Master, I also have good intentions, so you can’t blame me for that.”

Father Ye kicked her away, and went out without looking back.

Bai Ying hugged her frightened and crying son on the bed, without a tear in the corner of her eyes.

There are many people in the mansion, and there are many people know about it. Don’t know who spread the word, but it spread in the town.

Huang Dan didn’t leave home, and he knew that the servants of any mansion had one thing in common, that is, they spread gossip without knowing their lives. No matter how the head of the family warned, threats and warnings would be useless.

Therefore, only the dead can keep their mouths shut forever.
The people in the town are conservative, superstitious, crazy, more terrifying than demons and ghosts.

Huang Dan went to the old lady’s place and said that he wanted to go out.

The old lady was determined not to do so, but when she heard that he was going to the Song family’s private school, she was relieved and told him to bring a few people and come back quickly, and don’t stay out too long.

The private school was nearby, and when Huang Dan went there, he saw a person on the steps at the door, that was the scholar from the teahouse, counting as a backup, he is didi of the original owner.

The two had nothing to do with each other, they were just strangers both surnamed Song.

The scholar didn’t call him cousin, but the Eldest Young Master.

Huang Dan asked, “Is your teacher inside?”

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and said yes, “Eldest Young Master, let me take you there.”

Huang Dan went with him.

The private school is very big. From time to time, when they see the heir of the Song family, they all bow their heads to salute. Huang Dan was feeling little bit hot. He took off his suit jacket and only wore a white shirt, looks elegant and noble.

Stopping outside a courtyard of the private school, the scholar said, “Here we are.”

He lowered his eyes and said, “Eldest Young Master, I’ll inform the teacher.”

Huang Dan unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt. Seeing the scholar swallowing his saliva, he said, “Are you thirsty?”

The scholar was terrified, his head shook like a rattle, he lifted the hem of his gown, he took a long step, and disappeared at the semi-circular stone gate of the courtyard in a few steps.

Huang Dan threw the coat to the servants, he unbuttoned the cuff buttons and rolled them up, revealing his hairless arms.

Not long after, the scholar came out and swallowed again.

Huang Dan touch scholar’s shoulder lightly, listening to the other person swallowing, “Go and drink some water.”

The scholar buried his head very low, and stepped back to leave.

Huang Dan entered the yard and saw a lot of books on the ground, the paper was rattling by the wind, and an old man with white beard was drinking tea and reading under a tree.

Headm Master took off his reading glasses, “Young Master Song, what brought you here?”

Huang Dan said, “Southeast wind.”

Head Master, “……”

Huang Dan said, “Teacher, I’m here to borrow a book.”

Head Master Zhao asked casually, “What book?”

Huang Dan said, “An ancient book that has records about demons and ghosts in the world.”

He was talking nonsense, the change in the old man’s expression showed that there really was such an ancient book.

Head Master Zhao flipped through the books in his hand without raising his head, “I have a lot of books here, but I don’t have the one you want, please leave.”

Huang Dan said, “Your student said it himself.”

Head Master Zhao closed the book, “Who? I think it’s some little bastard talking nonsense.”
Huang Dan said, “I promise to keep it secret for him. Teacher, you also know that one must keep one’s word.”
Head Master Zhao looked it over, he couldn’t believe what this kid said.
Huang Dan’s eyes signaled, and several servants walked into the house.

Head Master Zhao threw the book away, and shouted angrily, “Stop, stop for me, you dare to mess with my book!”

Huang Dan stopped Head Master, “Teacher, calm down.”

Head Master Zhao glared at him, with smoke coming from his nostrils angrily, “Good job, Song Wang. You are just like your grandma.”

Huang Dan frowned, “I am my father’s child, and my father is my grandma’s child, so our virtues should be the same in some respects.”

Head Master Zhao was almost fooled by the young man’s rhetoric. He realized that he was the only one left in the courtyard.

Huang Dan asked his servants to look for it in the study, and went to Head Master’s room by himself. There was also a bookshelf inside. He didn’t mess around like blind person, but stood in front of the bookshelf, looking around.

Head Master Zhao came in, just as he was proud of himself, he saw the young man turning one of the books in the corner of the second row of the bookshelf, and the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf opened.

“……”

Head Master Zhao’s face was very ugly, “Who told you? Was it your grandma?”

“No.” Huang Dan took the ancient book, and after turning a page, he knew it was what he was looking for, “I just turned it around.”

Head Master Zhao insisted, “Impossible!”

Huang Dan said, “I really turned around randomly.” Among the rows of books, the one on the innermost side of the second row has no dust around it. It must be touched many times a day.

He hold ancient book, “Teacher, I’m going back.”

Head Master Zhao’s white beard trembled with anger, “Yuan Qing, it must be you!”

After being angry in the room, Head Master Zhao sighed. After so many years, he thought it would be safe and sound before he died, but he didn’t expect…

Huang Dan trotted all the way back, closed the door to read ancient books, they were all in ancient Chinese, he couldn’t understand them, but there were paintings on them.

“Mr. System, can you translate it for me?”

System, “40 points are required.”

Huang Dan hesitated for a moment, “Okay.”

A screen appeared in front of him, which corresponded to the content in the ancient book, and clearly recorded some anecdotes.
It seems that there is a wireless mouse, slowly sliding the scroll wheel, and the content on the screen moves down.

Huang Dan kept staring, his eyes gradually became sore, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, what he wanted to see appeared on the screen, saying that there are demons in the world, they can transform into human forms, and they live like humans and will bleed without pain.

He was surprised, it turns out that the demon is not omnipotent.

System, “I think, Mr. Huang, you’d better not take it lightly. Even if the demon is not invincible, it is not something ordinary people can identify and subdue.”

Huang Dan said, “I know, Mr. System, thank you for reminding me.”

He continued to read, and the next sentence was that no matter how much blood the monster bleeds, nothing will happen, but it cannot shed tears. Every tear will reduce one hundred years of cultivation. Once the cultivation is exhausted, it will return to its original form, or Re-cultivate, or disappear between heaven and earth.

After reading it, Huang Dan’s heart feels heavy.

The part recorded in the ancient book is only two paragraphs, and the latter is abruptly gone, as if most of it is missing.

There are many types of demons, and there are big demons and small demons. Don’t know if he has to look for a big one or a small one.

Huang Dan poured a cup of tea and sat at the table to read ancient book.

That night, Da Geng passed by an alley. His shoes stepped on something and almost slipped. He held up the lantern and took a look. He couldn’t see it clearly, so he reached out to pick it up. After wondering what it was, he suddenly turned pale with fright. Stumbled away.

Two strange things happened in the town, first was the salesman, and then it was Widow Li.

There was only a piece of human skin in the alley, with hair and flesh stuck to it, and a pair of embroidered shoes next to it. The murderer seemed to have left it on purpose, in order to reveal the identity of the deceased and cause people to panic.

The death of Widow Li brought up the forgotten salesman, and the fear doubled.

The squires gathered in the restaurant to discuss how to select some capable people from the town, or even expand the area, to be in charge of patrolling. What they wanted to discuss was the issue of funding.

The owner of the restaurant, Boss Dai, is very pretty. Even the storyteller doesn’t want to tell the story about her bed. First, it’s too much. Second, it’s almost a household name. No one listens to it. It’s not new..

When Liu Chu came over, Boss Dai greeted him from a long distance, shaking her handkerchief, “Chief Liu, you have been in town for several days, why didn’t you come to my place to sit for a while, I look forward to the stars and the moon as I’m looking forward to you.”

Liu Chu ignore the flattery, “Boss Dai, what’s the smell on you?”

“It’s called perfume.” Boss Dai gestured with his thumb and index finger, “Such a small bottle was given by a foreign friend of mine. How about it? Does it smell good?”

Liu Chu pinched his nose, “It’s worse than rotten water.”

The smile on Boss Dai’s face froze, and then she laughed again, “Really ignorant.”

The bright red cheongsam she was wearing was dotted with peonies on her plump chest, attracting people to look there. Not only that, the cheongsam was slit very high, and her legs were so long that it could hook people’s souls away.

Seeing the woman trying to stick herself, Liu Chu curled up his lips and smirked, “Boss Dai, I’m wearing an official uniform, whoever put stains on it will be invited to drink tea by me.”

Boss Dai felt itchy in her heart when she saw it, her legs turned weak, but she is an incomprehensible master, she spat and fiddled with her permed hair, “Life is too short, to be tantamount to vain in working.”

Liu Chu stretched out his fingers, touched the woman’s shoulder, pushed her aside, and said coldly, “Vain or not vain in working, I have the final say.”

Boss Dai was about to speak, but when she caught a glimpse of the young man entering the door, her eyes lit up, “Hey, Young Master Song, please come inside.”

In front of Huang Dan’s eyes was a vast expanse of whiteness.
He walked quickly to Liu Chu’s side, passed him again, and stared upstairs.

Liu Chu looked in the direction of the stairs, “Boss Dai, your charm is gone. See, Young Master Song hides from you like the plague.”

Boss Dai touched her blackened nails, and she sighed resentfully, “It seems that the team of bachelors is going to be senior. Yo .”

Liu Chu went upstairs, but he didn’t see the young man, and he didn’t know where he went.

Huang Dan was in a wing on the third floor. He only found out that Boss Zhang was here after asking Mr. System, and he came here to listen to the story.

Boss Zhang is a frequent visitor to the restaurant, and he has affair with Boss Dai. He came early and had already exhausted most of his physical strength, so he needed to replenish. There was a table of wine and vegetables on the table at the moment, and the food was delicious.
Huang Dan was invited to sit opposite.

Boss Zhang said enthusiastically, “Young Master Song, really won’t drink a few cups?”

Huang Dan shook his head.

Consciously or unintentionally, he mentioned things in the town, from the salesman to Widow Li, back and forth.

Boss Zhang’s words were provocative, he talked too much. He had a few cups of wine and hiccupped, “I’ve seen that salesman. He came to my place to buy goods. He doesn’t have much money, and he has many problems. He picks and chooses the chased away by the staff in my shop.”

Huang Dan said, “Really?”

Boss Zhang made a face out of drinking, “Yeah, I didn’t know he was dead.”

Huang Dan had inquired that Boss Zhang fled with his wife in the early years. His wife had small feet and walked slowly. He strangled her to death in order to protect himself.

“Boss Zhang, last time you told me that you went to the countryside to collect rent, what happened next?”

“Oh, that one.”

Boss Zhang ate a few small dishes and said that he heard it from a countryman. A peasant woman said that her husband had been missing for several days. When that person came back, she told people that he is not her husband.

At that time, Boss Zhang laughed out loud when he heard this. How could a husband and wife who had been married for decades make a mistake? Besides, could it be possible to change the skin of a person? “Young Master Song, do you think it’s strange?”

Huang Dan said, “Strange.”

There was movement outside, Huang Dan opened the door and went out, Song Yuan Shi and Head Master Zhao entered the restaurant together, their expressions were not quite right, they had quarrelled.

Huang Dan didn’t see much, it had nothing to do with his mission.

This time, all the famous people in the town came forward, Boss Zhang from the medicine store, Boss Dai from the restaurant, Mrs. Song Yuan Shi, Huang Dan, and Father Ye, the respected Head Master Zhao.

Liu Chu wanted to lead the team, so he got involved.

At night, the rain was pouring down. The rain was ferocious, and there were ghosts and wolves howling from the smashed ground. There was not even a single person on the street.

The door of the restaurant was closed tightly, and the Si Mao and a few were eating and drinking on the first floor, and they were joking about some old things.

Unsurprisingly, the group of people upstairs had an unpleasant discussion about the capital contribution, and it was not so easy to balance things related to money.
Because the rain was too heavy, they all stayed and rested in the wing room of the restaurant, and will talk about it tomorrow.

After several hours, Huang Dan heard a scream, which was made by Father Ye, which shocked the whole restaurant.

Boss Zhang died, leaving only a head and a complete set of bones.

It was Father Ye who found out. He said he was going to talk to Boss Zhang about the investment, hoping that he would be kind and peaceful, and he would improve the law and order in the town and take care of the big households.

According to Father Ye’s tone, he said that he knocked on the door first, and there was no movement inside. Seeing that the door was closed, he opened it and walked in.

This is the third case.

Boss Dai has seen a lot in the world, after all, she is a woman, and seeing the scene of Boss Zhang’s death, she fainted on the spot.

Head Master Zhao and Song Yuan Shi didn’t go in, knowing what was going on, they immediately went back to their rooms, as if, they were too old to see bloody things.

Liu Chu led people to search Boss Zhang’s wing room.

Si Mao and the others had seen many corpses with various causes of death. Looking at the skulls and skeletons on the bed, they still felt their scalps go numb.

“Boss, this doesn’t look like seeking revenge, does it? It takes a lot of effort for a pig butcher to pick the flesh off a person.”

“The most important thing is that Xiao Zhang and I have been downstairs and have never left. There is such a heavy rain and no one comes in from outside. It is impossible for the murderer to kill someone and leave with blood and flesh.”

“So the murderer is still in the restaurant, and he is one of the few people upstairs!”

“Master Ye is very suspicious. He was the first to find out that Boss Zhang was dead.”

Liu Chu handed the knife to Si Mao, “Stop talking nonsense and do things quickly.”

Huang Dan stood at the door, they were the only ones tonight, the demon might be among them.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, let’s check it first, he can finally use the simple and rude method of elimination.

Huang Dan was about to leave when he heard Liu Chu’s voice, “Young Master Song, please help me.”

He asked, “What?”

Liu Chu hugged Boss Zhang’s head, his hands were sticky, and the stuff was still dripping down, “Help me roll up my sleeves.”

Huang Dan said, ” Won’t help.”

Liu Chu’s face was livid, “What did you say?”

Si Mao said, “Young Master Song said he wouldn’t help, not me. Boss, Young Master Song doesn’t like you very much.”

Liu Chu sneered, “Like somone like him.”
