Chapter 11
It has been six days since the Lantern Festival, and Qiantang City, which was supposed to be peaceful and prosperous, is now in a state of depression, not at all prosperous.

The reason, of course, is because of the series of fatal cases, six days in a row, six people were killed in the county, and the way of death was exactly the same—the heart was dug out by something.

Especially when the case cannot be solved, rumors spread everywhere in the city, and the theory of evil ghosts hurting people is rampant. Everyone talks about "ghosts" and turns pale, and the whole Qiantang City is in a state of panic.

Almost every day as soon as the sun sets, it is rare to see half a person in the city, and all the people hide in their homes. However, even so, people are still killed every night.

A terrifying atmosphere began to spread in the city, and some people even started to bring their families to settle in other nearby towns.

……

The weather is still cold, and the pedestrians on the street are all wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets. Occasionally, when there is a gust of cold wind, they will subconsciously bend over and wrap their clothes in order to get a little warmth.

Qiao Chen'an stood on the small stone bridge, looked up at the somewhat hazy sky, a round of red sun slanted westward, dyed half of the sky red, leaving a large trace like blood.

The water surface under the bridge has been covered with a thin layer of ice, and under the afterglow, there is a little silver light, as if a silver bottle is bursting, and it is bitingly cold.

A few days later would be the opening day of Chongwen Academy, and he would pack his luggage and leave Qiantang to head to Hangzhou City, but he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

But thinking about it, "there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", the grand scenery of Hangzhou City is probably much better than that of Qiantang County, among other things, the West Lake alone is the best in the world.

I am ashamed to say that although he has been a man for two lifetimes, he has never been to the famous West Lake, which has been longed for by countless literati and poets throughout the ages.

I have always only heard its name but never seen its scenery, but this time I went to Chongwen Academy, no matter what, I must seize the opportunity to take a good tour.

After standing still for a while, Qiao Chen'an took the soy sauce bottle and walked home. All the work at home was taken care of by his parents. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do it. run away...

The job of making soy sauce was "robbed" from his mother.

As dusk approached, most of the pedestrians on the street had already dispersed to avoid the ghosts. Seeing the bleakness in front of him, Qiao Chenan sighed in his heart, and couldn't help quickening his pace. If he went back too late, his parents would have to worry again.

Just after turning the corner of the street, a gust of fierce wind suddenly hit him head-on. Qiao Chenan's heart shuddered, he squatted slightly, and deftly dodged to the side, dodging dangerously. A light gasp.

Qiao Chen'an raised his head and looked forward, only to find that there were two men masked in black cloth standing in the middle of the alley, and it was one of them who waved his arm that caused the severe wind just now.

At the same time, there was a sudden soft sound behind him, and two men blocked the narrow alley, one on the left and the other on the right.

"you……"

Qiao Chen'an was slightly startled, just as he was about to say something, those people had already rushed at him head on, and were about to grab his shoulder with their hands, without giving him a chance to speak.

Qiao Chen'an took a light breath, but he didn't panic. Over the years, he has been practicing Taoism frequently, not only the changes in energy and spirit, but also his physical fitness has also been greatly improved, which is far beyond ordinary adult men. Scholars who have no power to restrain chickens in the era are far behind by more than one hundred and eight thousand miles.

And if he is treated as an ordinary person, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

Seeing that the palms of the two people in front of him were about to grab his shoulders, he turned slightly to the left, avoiding the blow very dexterously, and just raised his leg with a kick. That person did not expect Qiao Chenan to be so flexible at all. He was kicked on the lower abdomen, and screamed, but the whole person flew out faster than when he came.

"Snapped!"

There was a sudden crisp sound, and one person's face suddenly blossomed, red blood mixed with purple-black soy sauce exploded all over his face, his appearance was so frightening that he was knocked unconscious.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the two, the two people in the back felt a burst of horror. Is this the weak scholar that the master said?Why does the situation seem to be reversed, they are the lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

It was only a face-to-face meeting, and the two of them were beaten to the ground by this seemingly gentle boy in front of them!

"court death!"

The two shouted loudly immediately, and moved their hands faster, attacking Qiao Chen'an one from the left and one from the right, but they were already extremely alert in their hearts, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Qiao Chen'an didn't have time to feel sorry for his soy sauce. This alley was already narrow. When those two attacked, they immediately blocked all the dodging spaces, and they couldn't dodge even if they wanted to!

At the very moment, he suddenly stepped hard on the ground, his legs exerted strength, and under the eyes of the two of them, he made a gorgeous front flip, passed over the heads of the two, and landed firmly on the ground with a bang. superior.

"Where did the idiot come from, you still want to molest me!"

Qiao Chenan yelled angrily, and kicked the two of them on the lower backs one by one, kicking them like shit.

But he never thought that those two people would get up from the ground without stopping, one by one carrying the two people who had been unconscious before, and they ran towards the distance like flying. By the time he realized it, they had already run away...

"I……"

Qiao Chen'an was speechless for a while, opened his mouth and paused for a while, but still didn't say the word "rely". These guys are not very good at fighting, but they are very good at escaping.

"Who is it? I don't seem to have any enemies!"

Qiao Chen'an frowned and said to himself, his face turned blue, if it wasn't for his good skills, what would have happened?It's no wonder he's in a good mood if he's been raped for no reason.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiao Chen'an didn't come up with any ideas. He simply stopped worrying about this issue. Before he found out the identities of these masked people, he had to be more careful when going out in the future.

Looking down, he touched the broken soy sauce bottle on the ground. Qiao Chenan's face suddenly collapsed, and he howled miserably: "My soy sauce...it's a big loss this time!"

Looking up at the setting sun that was almost completely disappearing, he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and trotted all the way to the soy sauce shop. If he didn't hurry up, the shop would probably be closed.

And when he finished making a dime of soy sauce and rushed home, it was completely dark, the street was quiet, there was no one, and every house was closed, and it seemed that he was the only one in the whole city.

Because of the haunting, the noisy and bustling Qiantang Night Market turned into what it is today.

I don't know when, a large piece of dark clouds enveloped the sky, it seemed that it might rain at any time, the moonlight was completely covered, the stars were hidden, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Qiantang was plunged into darkness.

The night is quiet, with a gust of cold wind blowing from time to time, whining, and the blowing makes people feel hairy, like a day when ghosts walk by night.Rao Qiao Chen'an was quite courageous, and at this moment he felt a little apprehensive, tightened the soy sauce in his hand, and quickened his pace to go home.

Just then, the rain poured down!
