Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

A light white mist filled the deserted streets, and the pale moon was gradually covered by dark clouds. The dim moonlight shone on the bluestone road, which was inexplicably eerie.

The dead of night is a good time to have sweet dreams.

Jingzhi was sleeping soundly with her pillow in her arms, one foot even resting on it, the corners of her mouth almost raised to the sky.

At this moment, she was hugging Lin Jiu's neck, swaying her body tenderly and telling him that she wanted to be sweet for a while. He smiled and said okay.

good? !

Haha, it was just a dream.

But she was still very happy. She stared at Lin Jiu's eyes with affection and slowly moved closer. As their breaths gradually intertwined, Lin Jiu's face became more and more red. She could even clearly hear his panicked heartbeat.

Jingzhi: Oh God, this dream is too real, please don’t let her wake up!

When the four lips were only 0.001 centimeters apart, a slight clanging sound suddenly came from my ears.

She moved her ears, and not only did she not wake up, she even closed her eyes tightly, and even some fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

No!

Unless Mars hits the Earth, no one can wake her up!!

In her dream, Lin Jiu would smile at her tenderly and ask her to call him Jiu. If possible, she would rather live in the dream forever.

Just when Ah Jiu in the dream was calling Xiao Zhi and holding her neck again to kiss her, she suddenly heard a loud bang in her ears, followed by a crackling sound of wood breaking.

The veins on Jingzhi's forehead were throbbing, and her right eyelid suddenly started twitching.

She suddenly opened her eyes and couldn't help cursing a few words. She threw off the quilt, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked quickly towards the source of the sound.

Qiu Sheng went back. It was impossible for Lin Jiu to make such a loud noise. It must be Wencai!

He better be really busy.

If not, she would beat him to death!

It was gloomy in the charity cemetery in the middle of the night, with not a single light on.

The side room where corpses were kept all year round made Jingzhi feel a chill often. When she passed the front hall, she walked very fast because of anger.

The closer she got to the side room where the bodies were kept, the slower her pace became.

As I stepped over the threshold, I saw two large rows of dark coffins on both sides. The coffins were new and old, with a faint smell of moldy wood and a pungent smell of new paint.

Jingzhi swallowed, squatted down quietly and put on her heels.

She didn't know why she did this. Maybe if she discovered something later, she would run faster.

As she gradually approached Ren Fa's father's coffin, suddenly a man in white clothes stood up from the pile of coffins holding a lamp.

"Oh my god, you scared me!"

Jingzhi kept patting her chest and couldn't help rolling her eyes at Lin Jiu who was a few meters away from her.

As I saw his face clearly, the interrupted dream suddenly came to my mind.

Jingzhi quickly turned her face away and took a few steps behind the door, trying to use the shadow of the door panel to cover her suddenly red cheeks.

Lin Jiu was speechless. He was the one who was so scared that he even shook out the Golden Money Sword.

I saw Jingzhi standing in the shadow, wearing a white inner garment. Before going to bed, she took off her hairpin. Now her white hair was parted in the middle and emitted a faint fluorescent light.

Moreover, she happened to eat a lot of rooster meat tonight, so she felt a little irritated, and her lips were redder than usual.

The red spot is even more eye-catching against the white background.

Compared to Lin Jiu holding a lantern, she looked more like a female ghost who had just eaten a child.

After both of them took a few deep breaths and calmed down, Lin Jiu waved to her.

"This is bad."

"What the hell—where's the body?"

Jingzhi walked closer and saw that the coffin had been torn into pieces and the hemp rope had broken into several pieces and was scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the window on the left again, she saw the night breeze blowing in through the broken window frame, making her shiver.

Jingzhi took a few quick steps and circled around the broken coffin a few times, occasionally looking out the side window. She said anxiously:

"It's over, Ah Jiu, ugh, Uncle Jiu! Where's the corpse? Such a big corpse?"

Lin Jiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the bright moon that appeared after the dark clouds dispersed, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"Let him run away."

The moon is full tonight, which makes things difficult.

"Run? Where to?"

At this moment, Jingzhi suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and her mind was full of Jintong's words that she was a tonic.

Zombies...won't come to eat her flesh and drink her blood, right?

No, she doesn’t want to be Tang Monk.

Jingzhi rubbed his arms and shuddered again.

Lin Jiu looked at her movements with a complicated expression, but he still explained to her carefully:

"When a zombie transforms into a corpse, it will first look for its closest relatives."

"...Why would you go to your relatives first?"

There was one more question she hadn't asked yet: why didn't Old Master Ren come to see her?

Didn’t Jintong say that she was very attractive to zombies?

"The most profound memories in a person's life are of their family members. Most likely, the last people they saw were also their family members, so after becoming a zombie, the first people they think of are also their family members.

After becoming a zombie, they lose their humanity and will bite anyone who matches the image left in their mind."

"Oh no! What are you still standing there for?! Go save Master Ren and Tingting!"

Jingzhi was extremely anxious. She stepped on the windowsill and was about to jump out through the broken window hole, but the corner of her clothes was suddenly grabbed by Lin Jiu behind her.

"That drop of blood in the woods is yours, right?"

She turned around, her face full of anxiety, but suddenly a bit of confusion appeared, "Which forest, what blood?"

Lin Jiu let her go and quickly packed up the yellow talisman and other items on the altar next to him, while explaining to her:

"When we first met, did you throw a drop of blood on the tree?"

"…So what?"

Lin Jiu put the peach wood sword on his back and said to her seriously:

"Your blood has a certain appeal to zombies. If your loved ones are the zombies' first choice, then you're probably their second choice. You're not allowed to go."

Quietly, he asked consciously, "Will you be in danger?"

Lin Jiu's expression softened slightly:

"...He just transformed into a zombie. As long as he doesn't suck blood, he's relatively easy to deal with. I won't say anymore. Tell Wencai to get up. Don't sleep tonight. Be alert. We'll talk when I get back!"

After saying that, he pulled her aside, jumped out of the window, and ran out of the yard at an extremely fast speed. In a few seconds, he blended into the night and disappeared into the forest not far away.

"what the hell……"

She was looking into the forest when suddenly her nose twitched slightly.

This smell seems to be... the smell of blood.

Blood? !

Jingzhi rushed out of the door quickly, but before she reached the backyard, she saw two lambs lying on the road leading to the backyard.

Jingzhi rushed over and squatted down to check, and found that the lamb's body was still warm, but lifeless, and there were two bloody holes on each neck.

This is... has its blood been sucked out? !

Her mind suddenly recalled the two fangs in Old Master Ren's mouth that she had seen during the day.

Lin Jiu just said that it’s easy to deal with those who don’t suck blood, but what about those who suck blood?

Jingzhi was really worried, so she ran to Wencai's room, kicked the door open, and shouted to him who was sleeping like a dead pig that Tingting was in danger. Then she pulled him, who was frightened awake, and flew to Ren's house.

"Jing, Jingzhi, please don't let go."

She flew quite fast, and Wencai was grabbed by the back. He felt the wind like a sharp blade, blowing on his face again and again. He quietly opened one eye and looked down.

"Ah~~ Fly lower, fly lower, I'm dizzy!"

"Tsk, you're so annoying! If anything happens to Jiu, I'll beat you to death!"

Having said that, she still flew down kindly, but it was still five or six meters above the ground. The branches and leaves on the treetops passed over Wencai's legs one after another, scaring him so much that he suddenly curled up his legs.

When he moved, his body shook involuntarily, which frightened him so much that his face turned pale and he dared not move at all.

The strong wind blew into his mouth, which he couldn't close due to fear. He might have lost his breath, and he began to hiccup. He raised his voice and said:

"Master said, hiccup, that you are not allowed to show your half-demon body in front of people, hiccup. You will see people later, hiccup, remember to come down first."

Jingzhi sighed, and finally regained some sense and quickly said okay to him.

……

After flying for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived in the town. They didn't see any trace of Lin Jiu along the way.

After arriving at the town entrance, she landed quickly in order not to cause trouble for Lin Jiu.

Then he suddenly pulled Wencai, whose legs were so weak that he could not stand, to his feet, pushed him anxiously, asked him to lead the way, and chased him all the way to Ren's house.

The closer she got to Ren's house, the clearer the sobbing became. Her heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

Old Master Ren only has two direct blood relatives. If Tingting is still crying, then the person who got into trouble must be Ren Fa?!

Her steps became more and more urgent. After knowing the approximate direction based on the sound, she no longer needed Wencai to lead the way. She lightly stepped over several rooftops and jumped straight into the courtyard on the left where the lights were on.

"Uncle Jiu, are you okay?"

She was still in shock and ran forward, pulling Lin Jiu's sleeve to check him left and right, and even twisted his neck. After finding that there was only a thin layer of sweat on his neck and no bloody holes, she let out a long breath, and the heart that had been in her throat finally settled back into her stomach.

"...I'm fine. It's Master Ren who's in trouble."

Lin Jiu took a step back and couldn't help twisting his neck twice. He felt the skin on his jaw that was touched by her was a little numb.

"What...he..."

"Jingzhi... wuwuwu... My father should have listened to you earlier. If he hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have been caught by grandpa..."

Jingzhi's body was stiff as she gently patted Tingting, who rushed over and cried on her shoulder. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her.

She had also experienced the pain of losing her father, which was so painful that she felt like she was living a life worse than death.

It even felt like a nightmare. At this moment, no matter what others said, she probably couldn't listen.

Jingzhi simply helped her sit on the steps beside her, and then let Tingting lie on her knees and let her cry her heart out.

Seeing that Tingting had been crying for a long time, Jingzhi raised his head and looked at the panicked servants of the Ren family.

At this moment, she unexpectedly discovered that there were several familiar servants, who were running out of the side door with their bags rolled up.

Jingzhi's face turned serious. She winked at Wencai, who looked distressed but didn't dare to approach her. She leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Watch Tingting. Don't let her do anything stupid... Also, don't touch her."

After saying that, she turned around and chased after him to the side door.

"where are you going?"

"I'll be back soon!"

……

It was said to be fast, and it was indeed fast.

The ones who escaped were a few ordinary servants, whose fighting power was basically zero. Jingzhi tied them up with hemp rope and pulled them to Tingting, then whispered in her ear:

"I know it's inappropriate to tell you this right now, but... you have to face it. You have to be strong quickly, otherwise the family business your father has worked so hard for his entire life will soon be completely divided up by the wolves who are eyeing you with greed."
