Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

Coughing out his nails, Xu Damao slowly spoke and told what happened last night.

Especially when it came to the scene where the "person" folded his body and inserted his fingernails into his body to slap him, everyone present was frightened and exclaimed.

"The nails are what she left in my lungs."

After listening to his story, Silly Zhu slapped the table and stood up.

"Actually, I saw it too!"

"When I saw her chasing Xu Damao, I was too scared to help or call anyone."

"Master, now that things have come to this, stop deceiving yourself and others and tell them the truth!"

The uncle sighed and said slowly: "Hey, I also deliberately concealed it for your sake."

He finally admitted it in front of everyone.

This thing doesn't just beat people, it kicks them into the pit. It's too evil and cruel.

Suddenly, the entire courtyard was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.

"Master, think of a way!"

"How about reporting it to the police?"

"Report to the police? Do you really think, who will the police come to arrest? They will arrest us in the end!"

"What should I do? I don't dare to go out at night."

Everyone was very anxious, waiting for the elder to make up his mind.

I have no experience in how to deal with this thing.

Does cutting and burning work?

I haven't had a direct confrontation with it, so I don't know if it works.

If you can catch one and send it to scientists for study, it will be a meritorious service.

But before we find out its details, we still focus on defense. Keeping everyone safe is the most important thing.

The three uncles got together to discuss and came up with a new plan.

Each family produces two taels of kerosene, and six kerosene lamps are hung in each courtyard.

The number of night watchmen has been increased from two to four, with each team having a team leader.

Night watchmen must bring self-defense tools, including knives, forks, rakes and sticks...anything is acceptable.

"If we encounter each other, don't panic. The four of them are back to back. Don't run away."

"If you can burn, burn, if you can kill, kill. If you can capture them alive, that would be the best."

The matter is of great importance. This time, the boss is not biased and can arrange the shifts as he wants.

After arranging the night patrol, everyone went home.

This time, Lin Bai didn't even look at the night watch schedule and threw it directly into the trash can.

The gong that patrols farts, no matter who you catch, it’s hard to catch yourself.

In the evening, it was just dark.

Except for the night watchers, no one dared to stay outside. They all hid in their homes.

Lin Bai had dinner with Xu Mengjing and urged her to wash the dishes quickly. After washing, he took her out to learn to drive.

She was also afraid of what happened in the courtyard and didn't want to go out when it got dark.

"Lin Bai, let's go during the day. What if we encounter that thing?"

Lin Bai smiled and said disapprovingly: "If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. What are you afraid of?"

"That's what you say, but that thing doesn't make sense."

"You are wrong, people are unreasonable!"

Xu Mengjing couldn't argue with Lin Bai, so she had no choice but to agree to learn to drive.

After washing the dishes, Lin Bai pushed the car into the courtyard, Xu Mengjing closed the door, and the two of them went out.

In the courtyard, kerosene lamps have been lit.

There are six lamps in each courtyard, illuminating the courtyard clearly.

Tonight is the night patrol for Shazhu, Yiye, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng saw Lin Bai and took the initiative to step back.

After being taught a lesson last time, they no longer dared to say harsh words in front of Lin Bai.

When he met Lin Bai, he also had a low eyebrow and a submissive look.

The first uncle saw Lin Bai going out and came over to greet him.

"Why are you going out even though it's dark?"

"After eating, let's go out for a ride."

"It's not peaceful recently, so it's better to be careful."

"It's okay. If you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." He said, looking at Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu also looked back and said, "Don't rely on others if something goes wrong."

"Take care of yourself. If you do too many bad things, be careful if you encounter it again."

After that, he pushed the cart and left.

Xu Mengjing followed behind, glared at Silly Zhu, and walked away.

After the two went out, they came to the place where they learned to drive last time.

This time, Lin Bai stopped supporting the bike at all and let her ride by herself. He only guided her from the side.

At first, the ride was shaky, like a snake crawling.

After two big falls, the horse was riding much more steadily.

Apart from the awkward turns, riding in a straight line is no problem at all.

It seems that if you learn it again, you will almost learn it.

Xu Mengjing was also very happy to learn how to ride a bicycle for the first time. She chatted non-stop on the way back.

As soon as the two of them returned to the courtyard, Xu Mengjing immediately shut up.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was really solemn.

The kerosene lamp was blown by the wind and swayed, and the flame grew smaller and smaller.

It was eerily quiet in the yard, with no sound at all.

This was unimaginable in the past.

The courtyard used to be very busy, especially between after get off work and before going to bed. It could be described as noisy.

The sound of cooking, children playing, chatting, quarreling... all kinds of sounds filled the courtyard.

Xu Mengjing felt scared at this situation and pulled Lin Bai's arm.

"Lin Bai, why don't we move out? I'm afraid!"

Only then did Lin Bai realize the consequences of his scary transformation on the courtyard.

The punishment frightened Xu Damao, Shazhu and others, but it also made people in the courtyard panic and lose their vitality.

The important thing is that it also frightened Xu Mengjing.

All those who bullied Xu Mengjing have been punished except the first uncle.

Lin Bai decided to stop after teaching the old man a lesson.

In the future, even if it scares people, it should be done behind the scenes, and the noise should not be too loud, so as not to hurt innocent people.

Lin Bai held Xu Mengjing's hand and comforted: "We have no intention of harming anyone, and nothing will happen to us. Trust me!"

In order not to aggravate Xu Mengjing's fear, Lin Bai decided to take it slow before taking action.

This night, nothing happened.

When Jia Dongxu went to the toilet, Silly Zhu Gong treated him as a ghost and beat him several times in revenge.

The next night, it was Lin Bai's turn to patrol.

When the patrol time came, the second uncle came to the door with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

"Cadre Lin, it's time to patrol!"

Lin Bai didn't intend to go, and if he did, it would be in vain.

The troubles in the courtyard were originally caused by oneself, and patrolling could not catch oneself.

It was obvious that it was the second uncle who came, and his attitude suddenly changed.

The second uncle, I guess, has a lot of problems.

He's a domestic violence man.

He couldn't say a whole sentence, but he always wanted to be an official. Later, he finally found a small official, but he couldn't be reused.

He doesn't want to improve his professional skills, but he always complains about troubles. No wonder the director looks down on him.

He treats his own son as a human being, no wonder his biological son is unwilling to provide for him in old age.

However, this is his family matter, and it is not inconvenient for him to interfere.

Whether it was sincere or not, if he was polite to him on the surface, there was no reason to treat him like Xu Damao.

Besides, Lin Bai had an idea and wanted to tell him tonight.

"The second uncle is here, sit down quickly."

Lin Bai asked him to sit down and made tea, and also took out snacks for the two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian.

The three of them were naturally very happy to be treated so favorably by Lin Bai.

Originally, the night patrol time had already arrived, so Lin Bai was not rushed.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, half an hour had passed since the patrol time, and then he tentatively asked Lin Bai if he could go on patrol.

Lin Bai suddenly slapped his thigh and said in shock: "Look, I have forgotten this. Let's go now."

"Cadre Lin, it's safer to bring a knife." The second uncle kindly reminded.

All three of them were carrying knives. Lin Bai picked up a stick and followed the three of them out.

Patrolling is nothing more than walking back and forth in the courtyard. When you are tired, you will sit down and take a rest.

Although the yard was eerily quiet, every house was quite lively, and everyone was doing whatever they were supposed to do.

The most lively place was Qin Huairu's house.

Qin Huairu's illness has almost recovered, but she has become accustomed to the days when she has to open her mouth and reach out for food.

Stay in bed all day and refuse to get off.

When it was time to eat, Shazhu prepared the meal and brought it to her.

Just wipe your mouth after eating, and you don’t even need to wash the bowl.

When she went to bed at night, Jia Dongxu boiled water and put it in front of her. She didn't even need to pour the water after washing.

On such a good day, no one would want to get out of bed.

She used fear as an excuse to leave Si Zhu and Jia Dongxu sleeping in her home every day.

Let them do this and that.

Even, I don’t even want to knit my own sweater.

He taught Jia Dongxu how to knit sweaters and asked him to knit socks and sweaters for himself.

Jia Dongxu was also happy to knit sweaters for her. He would knit sweaters at her house every day after work and never come home.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she cursed loudly.

Before going to bed at night, Shazhu and Jia Dongxu always have to quarrel over trivial matters.

Qin Huairu had nothing to do and was happy to watch them quarrel.

If they didn't quarrel, Qin Huairu would have to find a reason to make them quarrel.

Qin Huairu watched from the side without trying to dissuade her, and only came to mediate before the matter got serious.

He scolded them both, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Lin Bai and the second uncle patrolled in front of Qin Huairu's house and heard them arguing again.

Qin Huairu asked lightly, which one is bigger, the sun or the moon.

Just because of this, the two quarreled again.
