What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 171 The Suspicious People

After a long time.

Yi Zhonghai saw that it was already pitch dark outside, but Blind Zhang still hadn't appeared, and he became very panicked.

I thought to myself: This blind man said he would come later, but how late would he be? It's already this late, and everyone in the yard is asleep, so why hasn't he come yet?

However, Yi Zhonghai comforted himself in his heart: Well, this blind man must be afraid that the crowds might gossip and accidentally alarm the street office and the joint defense team patrolling the streets, so he planned to come later.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai secretly sighed that this blind man was quite perceptive and knew how to save himself some trouble.

But Yi Zhonghai sat at home and waited, his cigarette butts were all over the floor, the living room was already filled with smoke, but there was still no sign of Blind Zhang.

Then, he looked up at the pendulum clock in the living room.

Seeing that it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, I knew that this blind man would most likely not come tonight.

Suddenly, I felt a little panicked.

I couldn't help but glance out the window, and saw that it was pitch black outside. Under the moonlight, the shadow of a large tree in the courtyard was swaying and reflected on the window, a dark shadow was lingering, full of an inexplicable sense of darkness.

Sudden.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know what he was thinking about. He was so scared that his whole body trembled and his scalp went numb.

Fearing that Jia Dongxu would come looking for him in the middle of the night, he quickly put another cigarette in his mouth, lit it with trembling hands, picked up the flashlight, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.

Even on this short walk from the middle courtyard to the backyard, Yi Zhonghai was terrified, as if something was following him. After running to the deaf old lady's house in a trance, he immediately knocked hard on the door twice, hoping that the deaf old lady would open the door quickly and let him in.

The deaf old lady was not much better off than Yi Zhonghai at this time. She was curled up on the bed, holding her crutches tightly in her hands. She didn't dare close her eyes, for fear that she would never be able to open them again.

As soon as I heard Yi Zhonghai knocking on the door in the middle of the night, I was immediately frightened.

She thought Jia Dongxu was going to tease her again, so she immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "Who? Who's outside?" Her voice was a little cracked because she spoke so loudly, making it sound particularly sharp.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he had been suspicious all along the way, always feeling that someone was following him. So after knocking on the door, he looked around nervously, not paying any attention to what was behind him.

Suddenly, the deaf old woman's shout scared him to death.

He immediately shouted, "Old lady, I'm Zhonghai! Please open the door quickly, I have something to talk to you about." His teeth chattered as he spoke.

When the deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai's voice, she patted her chest in fear, quickly ran over to move the chair against the door, and complained unhappily: "Zhonghai! It's the middle of the night, why are you still not asleep? Just now, I was almost scared away by you."

Yi Zhonghai said with a pale face: "Old lady, let's not talk about this for now. The blind man Zhang you took me to see today, how could he be unreliable at all! I have been waiting at home until this hour, and he hasn't come yet. Could he have taken the money and ran away?"

The deaf old lady lived in the backyard and couldn't hear anything coming from the front yard, so she thought Blind Zhang had arrived!

As soon as he heard this, he immediately pulled Yi Zhonghai's only remaining arm excitedly and said, "What? Blind Zhang didn't come tonight? How is this possible?"

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously: "Yes, that's why I came to you in such a hurry! You have to make a decision quickly."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai whispered mysteriously, "Old lady, you don't know. When I came from the middle courtyard just now, I always felt that there was someone following me. I am still scared and sweating."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she was also frightened.

I secretly complained: Since you knew that there was something unclean following you, why did you bring it to my house? Could it be that I, who have one foot in the coffin, am more irritable than you? Aren't you deliberately trying to harm me?

However, the deaf old lady knew that now was not the time to complain, so she remained silent for a while.

He muttered, "You say, could it be that this blind man was caught by the street office on the way? Otherwise, this wouldn't be the first time we've dealt with him, so why hasn't he come yet?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was shocked at first.

I thought: I can't be so unlucky, can I? If Blind Zhang is really caught, he will definitely betray me because of his greedy and cowardly nature.

However, here comes the thought.

Yi Zhonghai quickly overturned the deaf old lady's guess and said, "It shouldn't be the case. If Blind Zhang was really arrested, he would definitely give us away. You see, it's been such a long time, and we haven't seen the Street Office and the Joint Defense Force come in to arrest people. He must not have been arrested."

......

The two discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution.

The only thing I can do is to go to Blind Zhang early tomorrow morning and ask him what happened tonight and why he dared to take the money and not do the job.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai could only go home with a miserable look on his face.

And the other side.

Seeing that Yan Bugui had been kneeling for half the night and admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude, the third aunt let him go, thinking that he had to go to school the next day.

At this moment, Yan Bugui had just been carried to the bed by Yan Jiecheng, who was trying to hold back his laughter. He was rubbing his knees and crying out in pain.

Sudden.

Yan Bugui slapped his forehead suddenly and shouted: "Oh, I actually forgot about Blind Zhang."

He immediately dragged his numb legs and walked tremblingly to the gate and opened it.

But after looking around, there was nothing but a dark hole and no trace of Blind Zhang!

I immediately guessed that it must be that the blind man had not seen his own figure, so he ran back.

However, when I thought of Blind Zhang, I couldn't help but think of what he said during the day, and my heart suddenly became flustered.

In addition, at this moment, against the backdrop of the moonlight, there was a vague black shadow in the distance.

In an instant, Yan Bugui shuddered and his scalp exploded.

He immediately closed the door tremblingly. His legs were no longer numb and he ran home as if his butt was on fire and closed the door tightly.

Then he heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Oh, I was so scared just now. No, I have to put on the amulet that Blind Zhang gave me today, and go to his house early tomorrow morning."

But after searching all his pockets, he couldn't find the amulet that Blind Zhang had given him today.

This really made Yan Bugui anxious.

However, even if Yan Bugui had 100 times the courage, he would not dare to go out and look for it again.

I thought: It is said that people get angry when there are many people. This evil creature is most afraid of people with strong anger. I originally planned to rush over and hug Yan Jiecheng to sleep, but my daughter-in-law was also in the room. How could I rush in?

With no other choice, he could only go back to the house and hug the third aunt tightly.

The third aunt thought that he knew he was wrong and wanted to please her. She immediately welcomed him warmly, but in the end, Yan Bugui refused to cooperate.

After some hesitation, the third aunt slapped Yan Bugui twice, turned her back angrily, and slept alone in the bed.

Yan Bugui, however, covered his face with his hands, looking hopeless.

I thought: It's already this late, how dare I pay my taxes! I was looking for you to vent my anger, but you're trying to put out the little anger I have left.

Afterwards, Yan Bugui pondered again: I have been caught by the third aunt one after another in the past two days, and now I can't even ask her to borrow some anger. Could it be that I have been targeted by these dirty things?

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui suddenly felt a chill running from his coccyx to the top of his head. His whole body became cold and he didn't even dare to sleep.
