Chapter 336 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night

Team Leader Zhou and the others enjoyed their food. They were exhausted on the road these days. Seeing that Xu Tong and the little father-in-law didn’t like food, they even took the initiative to stop the work of patrolling in the middle of the night and let them have a good rest. They felt more at ease eating.

In fact, team leader Zhou originally wanted to let Mr. Ma have a good night's rest, but since Mr. Ma opened his mouth, foreman Zhou didn't insist anymore.

In a short while, the team leader Zhou was already full of wine and food, ate all the rotten meat in the pot, and went back to the room and fell asleep.

It didn't take long to hear the snoring in the house. It seemed that they were really tired after traveling for the past two days.

At night, the two set up a bonfire in the yard.

Xu Tong did not know where to take out two apples and threw them to Li Xi. After adding some firewood to the campfire, he asked Li Xi what happened this time and where he was going.

Li Xi picked up the apple and took a bite, looked back at Yang Gongjing's room behind him, lowered his voice, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "I don't know the specifics, I just said that there was a cat in the vicinity of the Yellow River and the mountains." Xie Chong, I want Qin Tianjian to investigate quickly."

Li Xi's words were evasive, apparently he did not dare to tell the truth.

Xu Tong nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked about other things, such as whether Li Xi's hexagram at his door that day was accurate, and whether he should do another hexagram for them. What is the result of the trip.

Li Xilian made a haha, saying that he was just joking and couldn't be serious.

But he was speechless for a while, his words were not golden words, it was originally a sorcery, it looked like golden words, but in fact it was used to win people's luck, but in the end it was broken by this young man, not to mention how depressed he was.

Li Xi didn't want to talk too much on this topic, so he changed his voice: "It's nothing for a slave to play tricks, but it's Mr. Ma who really impresses our family."

"Oh! How do you say that?" Xu Tong asked in feigned surprise.

"Young Master has a lot of criticisms in Jingzhong, saying that you are greedy for women's wine, but after two or three days' journey, you are seen to be exhausted by Young Master. It can be seen that the rumors are not true, and Young Master is actually a hero."

What Li Xi said seemed to be flattering, but it was actually a further test of Xu Tong.

It's a pity that Li Xi didn't know that Xu Tong had already finished the draft on the way. Hearing this, his expression darkened, and he casually threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire.

The firelight shone on his face, adding a bit of sophistication and calmness to this delicate face that didn't match his age.

"What do you think of me and Xiang Keding?"

His voice was hoarse and low, as if full of helplessness and anger, Li Xi thought for a moment and said: "The Xiang family is in full swing today, and the decree has already come before Xiang Gongbao comes back. This young master is naturally a dragon and phoenix among men."

"Hmph, since he is a dragon and phoenix among men, what should I be?" Xu Tong's face was filled with gloom.

"This……"

Li Xi seemed to understand something.

"Even if my father got the position of General of the Imperial Army, so what? After all, he is still the dog of the Xiang family. If I am not a waste, how can the Xiang family rest assured that my father will be given the position of General of the Imperial Army?"

After Xu Tong finished speaking, he squinted at Li Xi, his eyes became sharper: "Do you know why I told you this?"

Li Xi's scalp tingled, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. He has been hiding in the palace for two years, and he has seen too many murder methods in the palace. His years of vigilance made him look at the apple in his hand. .

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to harm you. I just told you this because you are so similar to that friend of mine."

Xu Tong's expression softened, he took out a banana, unhurriedly peeled off the banana peel, put it in his mouth and ate it, with a little nostalgic look on his brows.

"friend?"

This is the second time Li Xi has heard Ma Hongwen say this, and he couldn't help being curious: "Who is that friend of yours..."

"Hehe, it's a coincidence that when I met him, it was also in such a dark night." Xu Tong narrowed his eyelids, took out a jug of wine and handed it to Li Xi.

"Is there such a coincidence?" Li Xi said with feigned surprise as he took the drink.

The two touched a glass lightly, Xu Tong took a sip and put down the glass, sighing all over his face: "A jug of dirty wine, a disagreement, swords and soldiers meet, but I narrowly win with half a move."

"Hiss! This is not acquaintances." Li Xi nodded, and continued to ask: "Then at that moment."

Xu Tong shook the drink in his hand: "It's just like this moment."

"Can they be so similar?" Li Xi was taken aback.

"Like, very similar, but you lack one thing compared to him."

"What is it?"

After Li Xi finished speaking, his face suddenly turned cold, and he scolded himself for being stupid, why did he ask this question, what else is missing, isn't it just missing a leg, why, can you connect it for me?

But Xu Tong seemed to see what Li Xi was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are too timid, my friend is much bolder."

Li Xi's complexion changed a lot when he heard that, and he knew that this was both trying to win him over and testing him.

When they were about to say something, the two of them moved their ears and immediately closed their mouths.

A faint cry came from outside the door, and the two pricked up their ears to listen, only to hear the cry getting closer.

After a while, I heard: "Bang! Bang! Bang!" There was a knock on the door.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door in the middle of the night, and anyone would have to be vigilant.

Xu Tong and Li Xi were stunned at the same time, and the first thought in their minds was those villagers. Ever since they came in, they felt that something was wrong with this village.

After all, it is not a good time now. Simple folk customs are fake, and there are not a few bandits who pretend to be villagers to kill and rob.

But after thinking about it, I felt wrong. If it was really a robber who murdered and robbed, why bother knocking on the door, wouldn't it be fine to break in?
Xu Tong took a look at the door with the help of the eye of fate, his expression changed slightly, he saw a strange fluctuation behind the door, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't see anything.

"Teacher, that thing just now doesn't seem to be human."

Da Ya woke up at some point, standing at the entrance of the hall and staring at it. Of course Xu Tong knew that it must not be a good thing.

If it is a ghost, I have plenty of ways to kill him, but the problem is that I am afraid that he is not a ghost.

The lime that Yang Gongjing asked him to sprinkle around the house was not just lime, but also mixed with a lot of exorcising powder.

I have seen it in the item book myself, and that thing has the effect of driving away evil spirits. If it is really a ghost, it should be driven away when it comes to the door.

Sitting at the side, Li Xi heard a knock on the door with a look of hostility in his eyes, maybe he was agitated by what Xu Tong just said, or maybe he understood the meaning of what Xu Tong said just now.

Li Xi was about to go forward to open the door, so as to prove to Mr. Ma that he was not a coward, but Xu Tong pulled him back.

He suddenly remembered the words said by Taoist Xunlong, "Don't light the lamp at night, knock on the door and don't listen."

Thinking of this, he glanced at the bonfire in front of him, grabbed a handful of sand, and extinguished the bonfire.

The knock on the door continued, but it was much slower than before. Xu Tong and Li Xi were standing in the yard waiting. Sure enough, after a while, the crying outside the door slowly faded away.

Li Xi boldly walked to the door, put his face on the door, squinted his eyes, and looked outside through the crack of the door.

It was pitch black outside, I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't see anything.

"No! This thing is definitely not human."

At this time, Li Xi suddenly noticed the door, and saw a puddle of blood on the ground at the door. Looking carefully, there were two blurred footprints in the blood.

"Whether he is or not, be careful tonight, we will leave here early tomorrow morning."

Xu Tong also had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that this place was too weird, and it would be better to leave as soon as possible. After all, his main task was not to subdue demons, but to protect Lord Yang in the house.

If something happens to this old guy, he will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Xu Tong couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he knew it earlier, he should have found a way to arrange Wang Zheng to work in the Qin Tianjian. If this guy was there, the pressure on his main task would be much easier.

When Li Xi thought about it, it was also the same principle, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

However, when the two were discussing whether to strengthen the door, a light suddenly shone on the two of them.

"What are you two doing, who knocked on the door just now?"

I saw foreman Zhou coming out of the room holding an oil lamp, yawning and asking.

"Don't light the lights!"

Xu Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted.

But the foreman Zhou was full of confusion: "Why don't you turn on the lamp, you can't see anything in the pitch black, Mr. Ma, little eunuch, you are also sleepy, why don't you go back to sleep, I will replace you."

Foreman Zhou said that he was about to move forward, but when he took a step, Xu Tong and Li Xi took a step back. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were fixed on behind Foreman Zhou.

"Why don't you talk?"

Foreman Zhou raised the oil lamp, wanting to see more clearly, but just as he lifted the oil lamp, he felt something dripping on his head, and it was cold: "Huh? Why is it raining?"

As he spoke, he touched it with his hand, only to feel it was sticky, and a bloody smell wafted over.

Foreman Zhou is the foreman of the Imperial Army after all. He also practiced in the martial arts gym for several years. , and at the same time the other one had already pulled out the dagger from his waist, as soon as the prodigal son turned back, he was about to stab the dagger out.

This move can be regarded as an extremely beautiful counterattack. If a person is suddenly shone on the face by the light in the dark, he will inevitably close his eyes subconsciously.

However, foreman Zhou probably never dreamed that the person standing behind him was not a person, but a bloody mouth...
