Chapter 34 Staying in the Haunted House
Zhou Zhao felt as if his ears suddenly opened, and the surrounding area suddenly became lively. Grandma Zhang was holding up a hundred ducks by herself, chattering away.
"Let me tell you, my house is fine! There are landscapes painted on the walls, and there are bright red quilts on the quilt."
"If you miss it, you can only live in the chicken coop in Twelve Villages. Straw mats are spread on the ground, and a group of people are crowded into a room. Next time, three people can be stepped on."

Zhou Zhao followed Grandma Zhang and looked around calmly.
Except for the main road when you first entered, the alleys in Tianying City are extremely narrow and extend in all directions like a spider web. Looking up, one can see several arrow towers with flags and flags erected on them. The flag closest to them has the word "Tiandou" written on it.
Grandma Zhang's small courtyard is not very far away, just turn two corners and you will arrive. There is a pomegranate tree planted in front of the courtyard.
The door was open, and in the yard there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, shirtless and chopping firewood. His body was covered with scars of varying depths. Zhou Zhao could tell at a glance that they were caused by years of fire burns.
"Grandma Zhang, you brought back the silly sheep again! Little girl, if you are dissatisfied with your long life, you can stay here!"
The warm smile on Grandma Zhang's round face disappeared instantly. She put her hands on her hips and cursed at the middle-aged man who was chopping firewood, "Xie Laosi, be careful of being quartered with knives if you talk nonsense! This time I went out to make a living, Sun Youshan I didn’t take you with me. If you have time to talk here, you might as well think about how to die.”
Zhou Zhao listened and finally became somewhat interested in this small courtyard.
She chose to enter the city through Xuanwu Gate and followed Granny Zhang, heading for Tiandou Village.
She didn't take action against Zhu Wu in the temple last night, so she hasn't avenged her revenge yet!
Seeing the gloomy look on Xie Laosi's face, Grandma Zhang snorted coldly, turned around and smiled at Zhou Zhao again.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He just saw that my son is a popular person next to Brother Sun, and he is not convinced. There are eight rooms in my yard, and the three main rooms are occupied by our family. The free ones are This one on the left.”
The door was unlocked, and Granny Zhang pushed it gently, and the door opened.
Zhou Zhao looked inside and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
She finally understood what it meant to have landscapes painted on the wall, and the quilt to be quilted. The wall next to the bed was spattered with blood. Although it was covered with ink, it was not completely covered. The thin bedding still had unwashed dark red stains on it. This room was clearly a murder scene that was being concealed. It was most likely that someone had their neck wiped while sleeping a few days ago.
"Look at how big and nice my house is!" Grandma Zhang said, her face looking a little unnatural.
She cleared her throat, turned to look at Zhou Zhao, and saw the girl smiling at her, "Grandma, it's good, our brother and sister live here."
Grandma Zhang had all kinds of persuasive words on her lips, but she couldn't spit them out. She originally wanted to say, girl, you look kind to me, just like my daughter who died long ago; I look at the white burr-lined linen in your hair, Nine times out of ten, like the old woman, she has a dead husband...
These words to bring people closer together are suddenly useless.
She was even a little frightened. Why did she say that? She was not afraid of the villain being cruel, but she was afraid the murderer would laugh.
When the girl in front of her saw the haunted house, she felt as satisfied and cordial as if she had returned home.
It was obvious that she had the intention to deceive others, but in the end she felt like she had been deceived.
"Really...really?"
Zhou Zhao nodded, "Grandma, please find me another bed. Besides, we brothers and sisters don't know how to cook. Grandma, maybe we can share a meal here? We'll pay every month."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and gave it to Grandma Zhang, "I have something to ask Grandma for help. We, brother and sister, were new to Yingcheng and had a dark eye on this day in Yingcheng. We also asked Grandma to explain it to us in detail. Say.”
"We are proficient in some boxing and kicking skills. We can't just sit here and find nothing. We want to find some suitable livelihood. It would be great if we can seek protection from the Twelve Villages." When Grandma Zhang saw the silver, her previous discomfort disappeared. Sora suddenly beamed with joy!
"Then you have asked the right person! If you enter the city from the north gate and live here with me, you belong to the people under Xuanwu Hall. If you want to enter the stronghold, you have to enter the three villages of Xuanwu Hall and the twelve villages of Tianying City. The territory is all divided, so you can’t mess around.”
"The Seven Inner Halls do not accept new members unless they are brought back by the hall master from outside. In the city, the best ones are chosen from the Twelve Villages."
"And under our Xuanwu Hall, there are three villages: Tiandou, Tiannv, and Tianxu. Among them, Tiannv is special. She does all the things of deceiving people with sex. Most of them are beauties. This is the brothel Chuguan in Tianying City. , are also from Tiannvzhai.”
"To be honest, grandma, I really don't recommend that a little girl like you go to Tiannv Village. The rest of Tiandou and Tianxu are inseparable. The twelve villages don't reject newcomers, and they are always waiting for someone to pick a flower!"
Zhou Zhao listened carefully. Although she knew a little bit about Tianying City, it was not as clear as hearing it with her own ears.
"Pick the flag?"
Hearing Zhou Zhao's question, the old woman nodded, "It's just for the ring! If you want to go, little girl, I suggest you go to Tiandou Village. Three of the people living in our yard are from Tiandou Village!"< br>
"As for the rest, there's nothing else. But I suggest you be more alert at night. Someone has been committing murders at night in the city recently, and several people have died."
Grandma Zhang said, glancing at the bloody bed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
What she didn't say was that two people had died in her room alone, and she didn't know what the murderer was here for.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhou Zhao's young face and felt a little compassion, but it quickly disappeared!
Looking at the girl's calm appearance, I still don't know who is going to kill whom in the middle of the night!
If she dies, it means her fate is bad, and human life in Tianying City is worthless; if she lives, then the old woman can take the money with peace of mind.
"Thank you, grandma!" Zhou Zhao said with another sincere smile.
Grandma Zhang smiled stiffly and said, "You will know the rest after you stay in the city for a few more days, and I won't disturb your rest."
Zhou Zhao looked at Grandma Zhang's retreating figure and looked around the house. Apart from being a murder scene, the house was indeed tall and big and a good place to live. She walked to the window and opened it, letting in the wind. , the bloody smell in the room has dissipated a lot.
"Is it okay for Ah Huang to live here?"
Liu Huang nodded, sniffed, "Yeah."
He dealt with the dead all year round, and sometimes stayed alone in the yizhuang in the middle of the night. This bit of blood was nothing to him.
"Well, we have come to the right place. Let's go to Tiandou Village first, and then buy some new bedding and settle down."
Zhou Zhao thought, and raised his ears to listen to the noise in the courtyard. When Xie Laosi, who was chopping firewood outside, heard this, the sound of chopping wood obviously stopped. This room was obviously more than just a murder scene. She was not there. Forget, the vast majority of people in Yingcheng today are criminals with life-related lawsuits on their backs.
How can a person who has killed someone be afraid of a haunted house?
But this was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to occupy a position of power in Tianying City before July 15th. Then you can't plan it slowly, you can only appear with the power of thunder.
Every secret is an opportunity for her to manipulate people.
