Chapter 16: The Front End of Panic
Leng Yue knocked hard for a while before she heard an impatient voice coming from the door:
"Who? Knocking on the door so late! ”
Although he didn't see anyone, he should be a man who was not too old to listen to the voice, Leng Yue glanced back at Xia Qi at this time, and at the same time looked at the woman who was honestly lying on his back.
The woman's eyes were wide open, and she was still staring straight ahead as before, looking a little frightened.
Leng Yue didn't say anything, and when he turned around, the door had already opened from the inside, revealing a burly old man.
"Who the hell is it, I don't squeak when I knock on the door in the middle of the night!"
The old man obviously didn't expect that two strangers would knock on the door in the middle of the night, so after seeing Leng Yue and Xia Qi clearly, he was completely stunned.
However, Xia Qi didn't care what kind of mood the old man was in, he had a thought now, and quickly got the woman on his back. So I heard him ask directly:
"Do you know this woman? We found her at the edge of the village, and our mind was not very clear, so we said let's send her back, find Boss Chen, find a big house or something......"
Xia Qi said this, and before he could finish speaking, he saw that the old man first glanced around, and then looked at Xia Qi and Leng Yue carefully, and then interrupted:
"What are you talking about there? What delirious woman? ”
The old man's expression changed from doubt to suspicion in an instant, and his tone increased a few points:
"Who the hell are you two, what's the matter with me so late!"
"Damn, the people in this village shouldn't be nervous."
Seeing the old man's strange reaction, Xia Qi muttered extremely quietly on his lips, and motioned to the old man to pay attention to the woman on his back:
"Don't you know this woman?"
"Women?"
The old man looked behind Xia Qi suspiciously, and then he roared like a joke:
"Where did the woman come from! Who are you, what are you here for, don't pretend to be a ghost! ”
Seeing the old man's angry appearance, it was as if they would immediately rush over and beat them up if they didn't make their intentions clear.
But in fact, they have made it clear enough that they are here to send the mad woman, but the old man has been ignoring the woman.
Thinking of this in his heart, Xia Qi suddenly had an extremely terrible conjecture in his heart.
Could it be that the old man couldn't see the woman on his back?
The generation of this kind of thought suddenly made Xia Qi like falling into an ice pool, to put it bluntly, it was that there was no heat on his body at all, and there was just a creepy chill.
After carefully observing the old man's eyes, Xia Qi was already able to determine that the old man really couldn't see the woman on his back. In other words, the women they helped at the edge of the village...... It's just a ghost!
What's even worse is that he actually walked all the way with a ghost on his back!!
After realizing the truth, Xia Qi instinctively wanted to scream, but reason made him cover his mouth.
At the same time, the "woman" who had been lying quietly on his back before suddenly left Xia Qi at this time, and then lowered her head under Xia Qi's frightened gaze, slowly crossed the cold moon, crossed the old man with an angry face, and then walked into the door.
At this moment, Xia Qi only felt that what disappeared was his already small strength, and he was really weak.
"It's too dangerous, it's so dangerous......"
Xia Qi squatted on the ground directly as if deflated, and he was afraid of his previous bold moves.
But then again, this matter actually has nothing to do with him at all, because his original intention was not to meddle in his affairs and help that "woman" if he didn't go, and it was Leng Yue who agreed on the condition that he obey his command in the future.
So 1,000 to 10,000, the culprit of this matter is still a cold slut, if it weren't for his overflowing love and being saved, would he be able to carry a ghost all the way!
Thinking of this, Xia Qi's fear also turned into anger, and he looked at Leng Yue with a murderous gaze. Leng Yue also looked at it at this time, and while the two looked at each other, they listened to Leng Yue's signal:
"I'll be talking to you about this in a moment."
To Xia Qi's surprise, Leng Yue seemed to know that the woman was a ghost, but this was useless, because it only made him think that Leng Yue was deliberately pushing him into the fire pit.
You know that woman is a ghost, and you still let me carry it!
Xia Qi is a curse on Leng Yue in his heart, and he will see how he will explain it in a while, and temporarily suppress this qi, after all, it is not just the two of them here, but also a strange old man.
"Are you Boss Chen?"
After the atmosphere stiffened for a few seconds, Leng Yue asked the old man again.
"It's me." Boss Chen admitted his identity, but he had lost patience by Xia Qi's inexplicable actions before.
"I'll ask you one last time, who are you, and what are you coming to me for!"
"Please don't get me wrong, we are actually ZF staff, and we have some business to deal with here, so I still bother you to cooperate."
After speaking in a calm tone, Leng Yue took out his work card and handed it directly to Boss Chen.
Boss Chen subconsciously took it, took a picture with the flashlight in his hand, and returned the documents to Leng Yue after reading it several times, and there was a great change in his attitude.
"What's so urgent that you need to come overnight?"
"This is a secret, it's not convenient to disclose, I hope you can understand. The color we play is not transparent. ”
Leng Yue saw that the work card was really useful, so she pretended to say a few words, after all, there are so many departments under ZF, and I can't tell how many of them are unknown to the world, so the point is that as long as Boss Chen believes that they are sent from above.
Xia Qi saw that Leng Yue was so good, but he couldn't get to the point at all, so he listened to him and went straight to the point:
"Let's arrange a place to stay first, and we'll give you the cost of room and board."
"It's not hard to arrange accommodation." After speaking, Boss Chen hesitated, then moved to the side, let the door out, and said:
"If you don't dislike it, stay with me for the time being, the others must have slept long ago at such a late hour, and it's not too convenient to disturb."
To tell the truth, Xia Qi didn't want to live in Boss Chen's house at all, because he had just seen a ghost walk in, but he was just ...... They have no other choice but to deal with it first and wake up tomorrow.
After glancing at Leng Yue and seeing that Leng Yue had no opinions, Xia Qi nodded and said:
"Then it's troublesome."
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all, we don't have a place to entertain you in the middle of nowhere, I'm so embarrassed......"
While speaking official words, Boss Chen politely welcomed the two into the courtyard, and then closed the gate again.
