Mortal counterattack

Chapter 28 Encountering a Ghost

After returning home for a few days, Zhou Chen didn't go there, but hid at home and ate meat desperately. Just when he was about to get three points of strengthening, a big thing happened in the village.

Zhou Chen, who was sleeping soundly at night, suddenly heard Leng Yiyao's scream. Zhou Chen quickly got up and rushed to Leng Yiyao's room.

At this time, the door was locked, and Zhou Chen kicked it open without hesitation. After entering, he found Leng Yiyao sitting on the bed, covering her head with a quilt and shivering.

Before he asked, Zhou Chen felt something was wrong, because he found a vague black shadow in the corner of the room.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the black shadow ignored him, Zhou Chen used his hand as a knife to hit the black shadow. What surprised him was that his hand knife actually passed through the black shadow and chopped on the wall.

The wall was chopped open by this knife. Zhou Chen quickly stepped back a few steps and came to the bedside "Yiyao, are you okay?"

Leng Yiyao hugged Zhou Chen from behind and said, "Brother Chen, what is this thing? I'm afraid."

"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm here."

However, Zhou Chen was unsure. The attack should have hit, but why did it miss? Was it a ghost? As soon as this thought came up, Zhou Chen felt that this thing seemed to be that kind of dirty thing.

"I'm so miserable, Sister Yao, come and accompany me", saying that he floated towards Leng Yiyao.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen wrapped Leng Yiyao up and ran out of the door. During this time, Zhou Chen looked back at the black shadow and found that when the black shadow was about to touch them, it was actually repelled by the strong wind around its body.

"What's going on? Could it be that the magic power is useful for this guy?" While thinking, the two had already arrived in the living room, and the black shadow rushed towards Leng Yiyao again.

Zhou Chen protected Leng Yiyao behind him, and at the same time, he chopped out a hand knife again, this time with wind blades wrapped around the hand knife.

As Zhou Chen thought, this time it did not pass through the body, but left a fatal wound on the black shadow.

The black shadow fell in the distance and wailed in pain. Countless black air came out of the black shadow, and the black air quickly dissipated after leaving the body. After about three minutes, Zhou Chen found that the appearance of the black shadow gradually became clear.

Leng Yiyao secretly glanced at Zhou Chen from behind and found that he knew this person.

"Why is it you, Afeng?" This person was Leng Feng, Leng Yiyao's distant cousin. Zhou Chen grabbed Leng Yiyao who ran forward.

"Yiyao, don't go over there, it's dangerous."

Leng Feng, who was lying on the ground, stopped wailing and turned to look at Leng Yiyao "cousin". Leng Yiyao broke free from Zhou Chen's hand and ran forward.

Leng Yiyao wanted to help Leng Feng, but she couldn't touch him. Leng Feng said weakly, "Cousin, don't worry about me, go see my mother." After that, Leng Feng closed his eyes and his body slowly dissipated.

Leng Yiyao muttered "Auntie" in her mouth, and then ran out without wearing a cotton coat regardless of the cold. Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly took Leng Yiyao's clothes and chased after her.

How strong was Leng Yiyao's legs? Zhou Chen caught up with him before he even left the courtyard. No matter how he struggled, Zhou Chen dressed him and carried him on his back.

"Show me the way and I'll carry you there." Following his instructions, Zhou Chen soon arrived at his aunt's house in the neighboring village.

At this time, the courtyard door was locked, and Zhou Chen kicked it open without hesitation. After entering, he found that Leng Feng's body was lying straight in the yard.

Leng Yiyao's tears, which had just stopped, flowed again in an instant, and she didn't care why Leng Feng, who was just at home, appeared here again.

After putting Leng Yiyao down, Zhou Chen said, "Go and see your aunt." Leng Yiyao ran into the room quickly, and found that her aunt was sleeping on the bed. Leng Yiyao shouted a few times, but no one answered.

After Zhou Chen came in, he lit a candle. Leng Yiyao approached the bed by candlelight and found that her aunt's face was ashen. She knelt on the ground and cried instantly.

Zhou Chen went to the living room to check. Zhou Chen opened the lid of the pot and found that there was still unfinished food in it. Zhou Chen's face was full of doubts.

Because the pot was full of tree bark. Didn't I just lend him some food? How could he eat tree bark? Then he went to the yard to check.

I didn't check it carefully just now. Now I look carefully and find that Leng Feng has many wounds on his body and there are marks on his neck. It is obvious that he was killed by someone.

Zhou Chen came to the room again to help Leng Yiyao, who was crying bitterly. After comforting him, Zhou Chen wanted to check his aunt. Judging from her complexion, she should have starved to death. However, he didn't know if there were any wounds on her body, so he couldn't check.

After talking about Leng Feng's situation, he asked Leng Yiyao to check his aunt's body.

Zhou Chen walked out of the room to avoid it. After a while, Leng Yiyao came out. Zhou Chen looked and saw Leng Yiyao gently shook her head, "It seems that my aunt just died of starvation."

"Brother Chen, let's bury my aunt and cousin properly."

"No hurry, my cousin was obviously killed by someone. I will go to the county to report to the police tomorrow." Then Zhou Chen found a piece of white cloth to cover Kai Lengfeng's body, and then took Leng Yiyao back home.

After returning home, Leng Yiyao was so sad that she couldn't sleep, and Zhou Chen spent the whole night with him.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kuo brought several constables to Leng Feng's house. Zhou Chen also came today, but Leng Yiyao didn't.

After Zhao Kuo's investigation, he learned that Leng Feng was often bullied by several ruffians in the village. Some time ago, they robbed him of a lot of food and beat him up.

After learning the news, Zhao Kuo immediately asked people to find those people, but found that they had not been home for several days.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhou Chen and said, "It seems that they are the ones. Brother Zhou, don't worry. I will issue a wanted order immediately."

In the afternoon, Zhou Chen bought two high-quality coffins from the county and buried the two people hastily.

Leng Yiyao cried very sadly. Zhou Chen persuaded him for a long time before persuading him to go back. At night, Leng Yiyao asked, "Brother Chen, what happened to Ah Feng who appeared in my room that night?"

Zhou Chen thought for a while and then said, "I asked Zhao the captain about this matter. He said that my cousin was worried about his mother after his death, and you are his only relative, so he came to find you. However, because he died unjustly, his resentment did not dissipate after his death and turned into a wronged soul. When he found you, he had lost his mind and only knew how to harm people and had forgotten the real purpose of looking for you."

"I didn't expect that there are really ghosts in this world."

"Yes, I didn't expect it either." According to Zhao Kuo, the wronged souls are something that ordinary lower-level warriors cannot deal with, unless they have special weapons or are warriors with strength reaching the middle-level third level.

At the same time, Zhao Kuo also asked Zhou Chen how he did it. Zhou Chen didn't know how to answer for a while, so he lied and said that Hei Yuan seemed to cause some damage to this thing. Zhao Kuo didn't think much after hearing it, after all, Hei Yuan was not an ordinary weapon.

Early the next morning, an old man came to Zhou Chen's house. Zhou Chen didn't know this man. "What are you doing in my house, uncle?"

"You are Leng Feng's cousin Zhou Chen, right?"

"Yes, it's me. You have something to ask me?"

"I know where the five people who killed Leng Feng are hiding."

Leng Yiyao in the house rushed out immediately after hearing this, "Uncle, do you really know?"

Seeing the old man nod, Zhou Chen was also a smart man and knew that he would not tell him for nothing. Then he asked Leng Yiyao to take ten taels of silver and ten kilograms of rice to him. After the old man got the things, he smiled and told Zhou Chen and the others.
