Junior brother, he is both wild and fierce

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Qingzhi, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. He tightened his throat, but ultimately did not utter a word.

Lin Yuan naturally noticed that the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Qingzhi meaningfully.

He curled his lips into a smile, put down another ingot of gold, and said slowly, "Boss, if you have anything to say, just speak directly."

When the shopkeeper saw the gold, golden light flashed in his eyes.

He smiled awkwardly, quickly picked up the gold on the table and said:

"Oh, let me tell you the truth. Recently, Lin'an City has been in turmoil. An evil ghost that eats children has appeared. Five children have disappeared in the past half month. It is said that they were eaten by the evil ghost."

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Qingzhi and said to Lin Yuan, "This little guest is very cute and lively, and it is easy for the evil ghost to take notice of him, so the sooner you leave Lin'an City, the better."

Lin Yuan frowned.

Five young children are missing?

Lin Yuan then asked, "Shopkeeper, have the family of the missing child reported the incident to the police?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I have reported it, but it is of no use."

"The first missing child is the young master of the Dong family on West Street."

Lin Yuan: "Dong family on West Street?"

Xiao Qingzhi noticed that his master was in a bad mood.

She tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve and stared at her worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yuan looked at Xiao Qingzhi gently and shook her head.

"fine."

That child should be about the same age as Xiao Qingzhi.

three years ago.

He once calculated that the young master of the Dong family would encounter a disaster in his life. If he could survive it, he would surely become rich and powerful in the future and live a safe and smooth life.

He and the young master of the Dong family had a master-disciple relationship, but there was no distinction between them.

Out of pity, he gave the young master of the Dong family a peace amulet and told him to always carry it with him and not take it off, which would surely keep him safe throughout his life.

The shopkeeper continued, "Yes, it was the Dong family who ran a pastry business on West Street. Half a month ago, the young master of the Dong family went insane for some reason and suddenly disappeared. His body was never found, only his bloody shirt was found."

"Everyone is saying that the young master of the Dong family was eaten by an evil ghost, and this evil ghost only eats children."

"Those good-for-nothings in the government are useless. We haven't found any clues at all."

"Five children have disappeared in Lin'an City one after another. Everyone is in a panic and stays indoors in broad daylight."

After meal.

Lin Yuan took Xiao Qingzhi to her room.

He stood at the door, looked at Xiao Qingzi who had been deep in thought and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Xiao Qingzhi shook his head and said in a buzzing voice: "Don't be afraid, Master."

Lin Yuan gently rubbed Xiao Qingzhi's head. He sighed helplessly, thinking that the child had his own worries.

Thinking back to the past, Xiao Qingzhi had no secrets from him.

The child is older.

For some reason, Lin Yuan, the old father, felt a little lost and a little happy.

Lin Yuan said: "Rest early, Master will take you to visit Dong's house tomorrow."

Xiao Qingzhi nodded and said hesitantly, "Okay, Master, you should also go to bed early."

Lin Yuan hummed softly and went into the next room.

After seeing the master leave, Xiao Qingzhi closed the door and sat at the desk.

She held up her little face, a worried look on her face.

I heard from the shopkeeper that the evil ghost likes to eat children. Will the little beggar be the next target...?

There was a moment of fear in Xiaoqing's eyes.

Xiao Qingzhi started praying?

No, no, the little beggar will be safe.

The biting cold wind hit the windows, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

Bang!

Xiao Qingzhi, who was in a daze, was frightened by this change and his face turned pale.

The biting cold wind blew into the house, and snowflakes fell all over the ground.

The candlelight on the table flickered in the cold wind.

As the light and shadow flickered, a black gas quietly sneaked in from the window.
