Chapter 1916 Strange Screams at Night

In the next two or three days, Jia Zhengjin made no move.

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 from taking Niu Xi to hunt for treasure in the mountain maze. I don't know what they have in mind. They are probably still waiting for him. 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 the opportunity to entertain visitors in the village for Young Master Yang Jie to constantly observe the targets whose identities are most suspected.

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 who are under suspicion and cannot be confirmed.

Yang Jie really studied hard and didn't 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 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 bear it anymore 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 at night in the bedroom with a candle.

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.

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 it was impossible to tell what it was. It's a bit like a baby crying, but it's quite scary.

It might be quite annoying to hear it in broad daylight, but at midnight,

You Qi was fascinated by reading when he suddenly called out. 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. Take a look quickly! This one keeps calling, how can the young master study? Get rid of it!"

"Yes..." Jia Zhengjin showed Yang Lian's timidity and hesitated to go out to wake up the servant. A few were left to watch the yard, and the rest were taken 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 came 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 scholar, his status is the highest here. Like the personal maids around the young master, he is a confidant.

"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.

no way! The young master has given orders, so we have no choice but to 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. They didn't even light candles or lamps and stayed at home.

No one has ever heard this strange cry. The sounds of wild beasts are not like this. Except for some hunters who are hunting in the safer mountains and forests nearby, 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, I couldn't see clearly the true appearance of the black shadow. I just felt that it looked like a human figure, but it 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 was a very timid character, and it was impossible for him to lead the team up to check. So he pretended to be trembling and directly ordered: "Go over and have a look!"

The servants received the order, but no one dared to move.

The black figure looked neither human nor beast.

It is conceivable that I am afraid that it is something unclean.

You said that if it were really a beast, it wouldn't necessarily be afraid of so many people. But things that are not clean are different.

The main reason is that there is a lack of courageous people to lead them. If they are brave enough, they 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, shouting directly towards the door.

As soon as the words fell, the shadow disappeared in an instant as if it was afraid.

The village returned to peace again.

"What are you doing?" Niu Shun was also startled when he saw the shadow disappear. Then he saw the servant standing on the roadside not far away, so he raised his hatchet and asked vigilantly.

"What are you afraid of? Look at him!" Jia Zhengjin walked out from behind the servant and turned around to scold.

The servant thought to himself, you are hiding behind and trembling, how dare you scold us? But he didn't dare to talk back, so he lowered his head honestly.

"Come with me!" Jia Zhengjin gave an order 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 is howling at my door, and I drove it away!" Niu Shun replied.

"Then they..." Niu Xi pointed at Jia Zhengjin and the servants.

"I was just about to ask them!" Niu Shun approached directly with a candle and a hatchet.

After the strange cry disappeared, some villagers finally opened the doors and windows, but there was only a crack, hiding inside and watching secretly.

"Put down the knife!" Seeing Niu Shun holding the hatchet, the servants around him became nervous, and Jia Zhengjin hurriedly said, "We are from the Yang family. Because the young master heard the strange cry and couldn't calm down to read, so we came to see. I didn't expect to see a strange black shadow at your door, and then you roared a few times and ran away!"

"So it was someone from the Yang family?" Niu Shun came over and looked carefully. After confirming it, he breathed a sigh of relief, so he put away the hatchet, "What was that thing just now?"

"We don't know!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head.

"That thing made me panic," Niu Xi said, "Wait until dawn to talk to the village chief? It's too scary!"
